Original prompt

Repository: dotnet/aspire

Task: Disable scheduled builds for Azure DevOps (AzDO) pipelines for branch release/9.4.

Context:

• These branches are old and should no longer produce new scheduled builds.
• We need to disable scheduled builds (cron/scheduled triggers) for AzDO pipelines affecting this branch.

Requirements:

1. Identify AzDO pipeline YAML definitions in the repository that define scheduled triggers (e.g., schedules: or trigger:/pr: with schedules) that apply to the release/9.4 branch.
2. Update the relevant pipeline YAML so that scheduled triggers do not run for release/9.4.
   • Prefer adding branch exclusions under schedules or removing the branch from schedule include lists.
   • Ensure normal CI triggers (manual/PR) remain unaffected unless they are also obsolete for this branch; only scheduled builds must be disabled.
3. Ensure the change is made on branch release/9.4 and create a pull request targeting release/9.4.
4. Include a clear PR title and description explaining that scheduled builds are disabled for this old branch.

Deliverables:

• A PR against dotnet/aspire with changes that disable scheduled builds for branch release/9.4.
• Mention which pipeline file(s) were changed and how schedules were disabled.

Notes:

• This request is specifically about AzDO scheduled builds; do not modify GitHub Actions schedules unless they are used to trigger AzDO pipelines in this repository.

Done. Removed the entire schedules: sections from both pipeline files in commit 5cd0858.

Changes:

• eng/pipelines/azure-pipelines-public.yml: Removed weekly Monday build schedule completely
• eng/pipelines/azure-pipelines-codeql.yml: Removed weekly CodeQL schedule completely

The pipelines now have no scheduled builds on this branch. Manual and PR-triggered builds remain functional via the trigger: none and pr: configurations.

Is this the right way to disable the builds? I thought this change needed to go to main, given the azdo pipeline looks at the yaml at that branch for triggers. Can you double check just to make sure we actually need to chage every release branch? (I want to avoid rebuilding a branch in ADO we have declared as dead as that could carry SFI items.
