Pattern Proposal: CI Architecture Lifecycle
Summary
GitHub workflows coordinate architecture-related builds, validation, steering projection, steering synchronization, and portal publishing.
Candidate Pattern
- ID:
ci-architecture-lifecycle - Classification: intelligence
- Maturity: strategic_direction
- Type: emerging
Observed Signals
No specific signals listed.
Evidence
Supporting Evidence
- .github/workflows/cas-build-steering-projection.yml - Workflow for building steering projection.
- .github/workflows/cas-build-validation.yml - Workflow for build validation.
- .github/workflows/cas-continuous-architecture.yml - Workflow for continuous architecture processing.
- .github/workflows/cas-managed-steering-sync.yml - Workflow for managed steering synchronization.
- .github/workflows/cas-portal-publish.yml - Workflow for publishing portal artifacts.
Scope Assessment
- Evidence Strength: medium
- Confidence: medium
- Applies to: ideas-to-life-cas
Rationale
- Intent: Drive architecture governance artifacts through controlled build, projection, validation, synchronization, and publication steps.
- Context: Multiple workflow files in .github/workflows use CAS-prefixed names for architecture, steering, validation, and portal publishing.
- Force: Architecture changes should not be applied manually without traceability.
- Force: Steering projections and synchronization need repeatable execution.
- Force: Validation should happen before architecture artifacts are consumed.
