We could have the content of the PR jobs check that actual sources changed, before doing any real 'work' or 'validation' of the change. If the patch is only CI or readme (not docs, those get compiled) then we can exit with a clean state. Saves time, and money!
If the issue is the lack of Concourse seeing the PR, there are several issues and potential resolutions that I am happy to go into offline.
