For the CI Josh is only used to determine if a given commit affects a given workspace. This can be done server side using the Josh GraphQL API. Having this understanding about the dependencies of workspaces understood by the vcs server(in this case Josh) means that such a query can be executed server side before any git clone/fetch needs to happen and in our case also before the CI allocates a machine to do the clone/checkout.

What artifacts are to be build inside a given workspace is totally up tho the build system(s) and tools that work after the files have been checked out to a working copy at which point Josh is not involved at all.
