CI/CD, Artifacts, Migrations, and API Compatibility
Connect governed agent work to reproducible builds, immutable artifacts, compatibility controls, and delivery systems.
A focused view of boundaries, contracts, state, authority, failure paths, and tradeoffs drawn from this chapter.
Reconstruct and defend this chapter’s architecture.
Reconstruct the architecture, name each boundary, and defend the tradeoffs.
Open the source exercise
Design delivery for a service and three consumers during a schema migration. Add an outdated consumer, failed backfill, mutable dependency, and duplicate deployment webhook. Mark every authoritative record and recovery decision.
4. Tradeoffs and alternatives
Hermetic builds improve reproducibility and may be expensive for legacy stacks. Rebuilding per environment simplifies platform conventions but weakens subject identity. Consumer-driven contracts reveal real expectations and can encode accidental behavior. Migration rollback may be less safe than forward correction; choose based on data semantics and restore evidence.
5. Current Mission Control Implementation
The current guide distinguishes execution, validation, publication, merge, deployment, and acceptance; it also covers provenance, attestations, SBOMs, exact commits, and release gates. Deployment execution may be delegated while governance remains in the factory.
The curriculum does not yet teach artifact-registry operation, build-once promotion, database migration phases, consumer compatibility, pipeline-change protection, or complete deployment-provider reconciliation in sufficient depth. The present golden path stops before these claims are proven.
