ci: Run the community node compatibility specs against a chosen branch (no-changelog)
Builds the n8n image from the branch under test and runs the CE-2572
compatibility specs against it, weekly for master and 3.x, or on demand
for any ref such as a release candidate line. Published images cannot be
used because they do not ship the test-only e2e controller.

Scheduled and dispatched runs execute on the default branch, so an image
cache key derived from github.sha would make every run restore the first
image built that day. The resolve job pins the branch head, the build job
saves the image under that SHA, and test-e2e-reusable gets a cache-sha
input (default github.sha) so the e2e shard restores the same key.

What does n8n mean?

Short answer: It means "nodemation" and is pronounced as n-eight-n.

Long answer: "I get that question quite often (more often than I expected) so I decided it is probably best to answer it here. While looking for a good name for the project with a free domain I realized very quickly that all the good ones I could think of were already taken. So, in the end, I chose nodemation. 'node-' in the sense that it uses a Node-View and that it uses Node.js and '-mation' for 'automation' which is what the project is supposed to help with. However, I did not like how long the name was and I could not imagine writing something that long every time in the CLI. That is when I then ended up on 'n8n'." - Jan Oberhauser, Founder and CEO, n8n.io
