+# SonarCloud Analysis Workflow for awx_plugins.interfaces
+#
+# This workflow runs SonarCloud analysis triggered by CI workflow
+# completion. It is split into two separate jobs for clarity and
+# maintainability:
+#
+# FLOW: CI completes → workflow_run triggers → appropriate job runs
+#
+# JOB 1: sonar-pr-analysis (for PRs)
+# - Triggered by: workflow_run (CI on pull_request)
+# - Steps: Download coverage → Get PR info → Get changed files
+#          → Run SonarCloud PR analysis
+# - Scans: All changed files in the PR (Python, YAML, JSON, etc.)
+# - Quality gate: Focuses on new/changed code in PR only
+#
+# JOB 2: sonar-branch-analysis (for long-lived branches)
+# - Triggered by: workflow_run (CI on push to devel)
+# - Steps: Download coverage → Run SonarCloud branch analysis
+# - Scans: Full codebase
+# - Quality gate: Focuses on overall project health
+#
+# This ensures coverage data is always available from CI before
+# analysis runs.
+#
+# What files are scanned:
+# - All files in the repository that SonarCloud can analyze
+# - Excludes: tests, scripts, dev environments, external
+#   collections (see sonar-project.properties)
+
+# With much help from:
