CI/CD Workflows

This section describes the Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) workflows used in the Abstract Backend.

🚀 Quick Navigation​

Our CI/CD system is organized into focused, developer-friendly sections:

📋 Continuous Integration​

CI

  • Matrix-based test coverage across Python 3.12–3.14 and multiple OS targets
  • Quality gates for linting, formatting, type checking, coverage
  • Reusable workflow design so child projects can opt-in to shared automation
  • Samples for extending CI with additional integration jobs

🔄 Release System​

Release Validation Release Release Staging

  • Intent-driven configuration via .github/tag_and_release/intent.yaml
  • Triple-target publishing: Python package, container image, Docusaurus docs
  • Validation + staging workflows to test releases before production
  • Supply-chain safeguards (version bump enforcement, lockfile sync, summaries)

📖 Documentation Deployment​

Documentation

  • workflow_run-based trigger that reacts to release outputs and docs-only PRs
  • Safeguards to prevent duplicate deployments and to validate build artifacts
  • DOCS_UPDATED flagging for selective publishing
  • Guidance for customizing deployment targets (gh-pages, GitHub Pages, custom domains)

🔧 Reusable Workflows​

  • Step-by-step usage of the reusable workflow catalog
  • Inputs/outputs tables to help integrate from downstream projects
  • Patterns for combining Python and docs jobs without duplication

⚙️ Additional CI Workflows​

Docs Build Check

  • Docs build check – Validates Docusaurus builds on PRs and non-main pushes
  • Docs auto-merge – Streamlines docs-only PRs under guarded conditions

🛠️ Developer Guide​

  • Configuration and troubleshooting
  • Best practices for contributors
  • Common workflows and monitoring
  • Additional specialized workflows

🎯 CI/CD Overview​

We use GitHub Actions to automate testing, code quality checks, and deployment processes. Our CI/CD pipelines help maintain code quality, ensure tests pass, and streamline the release process.
