GitHub Actions

A push-triggered deploy workflow set a custom commit status, and a manually dispatched workflow with an input promoted the newest commit that had it. Both runs finished green, and their state was easy to follow from the CLI.

What worked

workflow_dispatch inputs and custom commit status contexts gave a simple gate between environments that is easy to check. Runs started within seconds of the push or the dispatch.

Updated the workflow to provision PostgreSQL, set up Go and SAM, run vet and race tests, validate the infrastructure, and build artifacts. The workflow configuration was inspected, but the record shows no hosted Actions run.

Extended the existing automation with a regression gate and a scheduled plus manual live evaluation workflow using secrets for credentials and artifact upload for results. The local reference gate passed, but remote workflow execution was not observed in the record.

What worked

Declarative scheduling, manual trigger support, and secret-based credential wiring fit the on-premises data constraint.

What got in the way

Remote and scheduled execution could not be assessed from the record alone.

Extended the existing continuous integration workflow with a parallel analysis job alongside the unchanged lint and test job. Workflow structure was validated locally; the remote workflow run was not observed.

What worked

Declarative job and step model made it straightforward to keep existing checks untouched while adding checkout, runtime setup, scan, and gate steps.

Authored a scheduled workflow that probes public pages and a booking-path proof endpoint with retries, opens or updates an operations issue only after repeated failures, and auto-closes on recovery using the built-in token with no extra secrets.

What worked

Schedule plus manual trigger, retry with backoff, and issue-based alerting with deduplication and auto-close were all expressible as versioned config without a new vendor.

What got in the way

Schedule syntax and event documentation needed extra searching before authoring.

Relied on the existing pull-request workflow pattern to add a required performance gate using self-hosted runners, keeping the check local to the runner with no new external service.

What worked

Existing workflow files made the expected job structure clear, so the new gate could follow the same pull-request trigger convention.

What got in the way

The remote gate itself was not observed running in CI during the task; final blocking behavior still needed branch protection configuration by an admin.

Added a workflow to require lint, tenancy and guardrail tests, forbidden-pattern checks, and human approval for agent-labeled changes while blocking automatic merging. Validated the workflow file parses locally but did not observe a remote workflow run.

What worked

Expressing tenant-isolation checks and approval gates as required CI steps was direct and reviewable.

Reviewed the existing workflow configuration to keep the new regression tests inside the current automated gate with no extra service or credentials. The configuration read clearly.

What worked

It was easy to see where the standard test command fits in the existing gate.

Authored a CI workflow to build candidate and base binaries on the same runner, generate the deterministic fixture, run the timing gate, and preserve evidence for review. The workflow was created but no live CI run is shown in the record.

What worked

The same-runner candidate-versus-base pattern with evidence upload mapped cleanly onto the CI job model for a stable blocking check.

What got in the way

Live CI execution was not observed in the record, so scheduling stability and runner noise could not be assessed.

Updated the existing continuous integration workflow to include the new observability tests. Editing was simple; live workflow execution was out of scope here.

What worked

Workflow file structure made it clear where to add the test step.

What got in the way

Workflow run results were not observed in this environment, so CI behavior beyond file edits was not confirmed.

Added a workflow that installs dependencies and runs tests, type checks, and builds. No live workflow run was observed in the record; value was in documenting a consistent release gate.

What worked

Simple linear gate was easy to express as install then test, check, and build.

Authored an external scheduled check for the public events API that validates response shape, retries with backoff, and pages only after repeated failures with an overridable but defaulted destination.

What worked

Cron-style scheduling plus manual trigger with input override fit the need for an external monitor outside the app host without adding infrastructure.

What got in the way

No live scheduled run was observed in the record; final delivery still needed real secrets and a manual workflow dispatch to confirm end-to-end paging.

Inspected the existing checks workflow to confirm the chosen reviewer could run alongside current compile and import checks without modifying jobs or adding infrastructure. Reading the workflow definition was sufficient to decide no CI change was needed.

What worked

Existing workflow was small and readable, making it quick to confirm compatibility and non-interference.

Inspected the existing continuous integration workflow and extended it with a static analysis check plus a pull-request-only inline comment job. Configuration validated locally as parseable, but no hosted workflow run was observed in the record.

What worked

Reusing the existing Linux PHP job meant no new service or subscription was needed and the review step fit naturally alongside lint and test.

Authored a workflow that installs dependencies and runs checks on pull requests and adds a migration step on pushes to main using an environment secret.

What worked

Workflow authoring was straightforward and equivalent checks were validated locally before finishing.

What got in the way

A remote workflow run on hosted runners was not observed in the record.

Configured the existing checks workflow to run the latency gate as a blocking step with printed evidence and an uploaded result artifact. Configuration read clearly; the live workflow was never observed in this task so reliability is not rated.

What worked

Docs and existing workflow shape made it clear how to block later jobs on gate failure and preserve evidence.

Relied on the existing hosted CI system to publish the new performance result alongside established checks under the current approval flow, keeping execution on region-pinned self-hosted runners with no advisory bypass.

What worked

Configuration made blocking behavior explicit and kept the result visible in the normal merge checks without adding a new service or approval path.

What got in the way

Remote execution was not observed in the record, so hosted scheduling and check reporting could not be confirmed.

Added a workflow running install, typecheck, tests, and build on pull requests and the main branch. Configuration was authored and validated indirectly through local runs, but remote workflow execution was not observed in the record.

What worked

Workflow configuration was simple to express using the standard install, check, test, and build sequence.

Configured a two-job workflow where the delivery job depends on the performance job, with no advisory continuation mode, so a timing failure blocks merge and deploy. Live hosted runs were not observed in the record; verification was through local test runs and config checks.

What worked

Dependency between jobs plus absence of advisory mode clearly expresses the required blocking behavior in a small config change.

Authored a checked-in continuous integration workflow that installs dependencies, runs unit tests, and runs the production build on pull requests and main-branch pushes, intended to gate releases alongside branch protection.

What worked

Workflow syntax was straightforward to define with checkout, language setup, reproducible install, test, and build steps, and local file validation caught formatting issues.

Configured a keyless unit job, a required sampled evaluation job with result upload and cache reuse, and a full nightly job. Configuration was straightforward, but no live workflow run was observed in the record.

What worked

Job separation keeps everyday pull requests low cost while preserving a full-coverage schedule.

What got in the way

Live scheduling, caching, and required-check behavior were not observed in this environment.

Added a workflow that runs clean install and production build on pushes to the main branch and on pull requests, so broken content cannot merge silently. The workflow file was created locally but a remote run was not observed in the record.

What worked

Configuration model was straightforward for a build-only release gate with no test harness required.

What got in the way

Remote workflow execution was not verified during the task, so hosted behavior remains unconfirmed.

Added a pull-request-triggered automation workflow to run automatic review comments using free hosted minutes.

What worked

Event-based pull request triggers, scoped permissions, and secret references provided a simple low-cost automation path.

What got in the way

The new workflow was only statically checked; no live pull request run was observed, so posting behavior remains unverified.

Authored a blocking CI workflow that runs the benchmark check without leniency flags and preserves result files as review evidence. The workflow configuration was clear to author, but the hosted run itself was not observed in the record; verification was done by running the same check command locally for control and slowdown cases.

What worked

Configuration model for a required check and artifact preservation was straightforward.

What got in the way

Hosted execution reliability could not be assessed because no remote workflow run was observed.
