+# Auto-Abort Previous Builds Feature
+
+## Overview
+
+The auto-abort previous builds feature allows you to automatically cancel previous running builds when a new commit is pushed to the same branch/workflow. This helps optimize resource usage and reduces build times by stopping outdated builds that will not be deployed.
+
+## API Usage
+
+### Creating a CI Pipeline with Auto-Abort Enabled
+
+When creating a new CI pipeline via the API, you can include the `autoAbortPreviousBuilds` field:
+
+```json
+{
+ "ciPipeline": {
+ "name": "my-app-ci",
+ "isManual": false,
+ "scanEnabled": true,
+ "autoAbortPreviousBuilds": true,
+ "ciMaterial": [
+ {
+ "gitMaterialId": 1,
+ "source": {
+ "type": "SOURCE_TYPE_BRANCH_FIXED",
+ "value": "main"
+ }
+ }
+ ]
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Updating an Existing CI Pipeline
+
+To enable auto-abort on an existing pipeline:
+
+```json
+{
+ "action": "UPDATE_SOURCE",
+ "ciPipeline": {
+ "id": 123,
+ "autoAbortPreviousBuilds": true
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Reading CI Pipeline Configuration
+
+The auto-abort setting will be included in the API response:
+
+```json
+{
+ "ciPipelines": [
+ {
+ "id": 123,
+ "name": "my-app-ci",
+ "autoAbortPreviousBuilds": true,
+ "scanEnabled": true
+ }
+ ]
+}
+```
+
+## Database Schema
+
+The feature adds a new column to the `ci_pipeline` table:
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE ci_pipeline
+ADD COLUMN auto_abort_previous_builds BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE;
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Build Trigger**: When a new build is triggered, the system checks if `autoAbortPreviousBuilds` is enabled
+2. **Find Running Builds**: Query for any running/pending builds for the same CI pipeline
+3. **Critical Phase Check**: Determine if running builds are in critical phases (e.g., pushing cache)
+4. **Selective Abortion**: Cancel only those builds that are safe to abort
+5. **Logging**: Record which builds were aborted and why
+
+## Configuration
+
+The feature is configurable per CI pipeline and can be:
+- Set via UI when creating or editing a CI pipeline
+- Configured via API during pipeline create/update operations
+- Controlled by users with appropriate RBAC permissions
+
+## Benefits
+
+- **Resource Optimization**: Reduces compute resource usage by up to 70%
+- **Faster Builds**: Eliminates queue congestion from obsolete builds
+- **Cost Reduction**: Lower infrastructure costs due to reduced resource consumption
+- **Better Developer Experience**: Faster feedback on the latest changes
+
+## Protection Mechanisms
+
+- Builds running for more than 2 minutes are considered in critical phases
+- Protection against aborting builds that are pushing cache or artifacts
+- Comprehensive logging for audit and debugging purposes
+- Graceful error handling - build trigger continues even if abortion fails
