Lucas Charles requested to merge docs-leveraging-existing-build-jobs into master

What does this MR do?

It's back! Replaces !9676 (closed)

Per work on #8212 (closed), we should improve our SAST documentation to show custom execution strategies for projects which cannot take advantage of our default configuration. This improvements cover several important use cases:

  • Bypassing compilation during sast stage (for performance, security, or compatibility reasons)
  • Bypassing the requirement for Docker-in-Docker executions

Author's checklist

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Optional: Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set and that you merge the equivalent EE MR before the CE MR if both exist.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
