phase: 09-testing-qa
plan: "03"
subsystem: infra
tags: [gitea-actions, ci, playwright, lighthouse, pytest, ruff, e2e, pipeline]

# Dependency graph
requires:
  - phase: 09-testing-qa/09-01
    provides: Playwright E2E infrastructure, playwright.config.ts, 7 flow specs, fixtures, auth setup
  - phase: 09-testing-qa/09-02
    provides: visual regression specs, a11y scans, lighthouserc.json config
provides:
  - Gitea Actions CI pipeline (2-job fail-fast: backend → portal)
  - Automated backend linting (ruff check + ruff format --check) and pytest in CI
  - Automated portal build (Next.js standalone) + Playwright E2E + Lighthouse CI in CI
  - JUnit XML, HTML report, and Lighthouse artifacts uploaded per run
  - Credentials managed via Gitea secrets (never hardcoded)
affects: [CI/CD, beta launch readiness, quality gates]

# Tech tracking
tech-stack:
  added:
    - "Gitea Actions (.gitea/workflows/ci.yml) — CI pipeline runner"
    - "pgvector/pgvector:pg16 service container — CI DB with vector extension"
    - "redis:7-alpine service container — CI cache/pubsub"
    - "@lhci/cli — Lighthouse CI score assertions (already in portal devDeps)"
  patterns:
    - "Fail-fast pipeline: portal job needs backend — backend failures block E2E before spinning up portal"
    - "Service containers with health checks — postgres pg_isready + redis-cli ping before job starts"
    - "Standalone Next.js build in CI — cp -r .next/static + public into .next/standalone for self-hosted start"
    - "Secrets pattern — all credentials via ${{ secrets.* }}, never hardcoded in YAML"
    - "always() artifact uploads — test reports uploaded even on failure for debugging"

key-files:
  created:
    - .gitea/workflows/ci.yml
  modified: []

key-decisions:
  - "No mypy --strict step in CI — existing codebase may not be fully strict-typed; ruff lint is sufficient gate for now"
  - "seed_admin call uses || true — may not exist in all environments; E2E auth setup handles user creation via login form"
  - "LLM_POOL_URL set to http://localhost:8004 in portal job — consistent with shared/config.py default"
  - "Browser install uses --with-deps chromium firefox webkit — installs OS dependencies for headful/headless rendering"

patterns-established:
  - "Pattern 1: Backend job runs first, portal job depends on it — fail-fast prevents E2E overhead when backend is broken"
  - "Pattern 2: Service health checks with pg_isready and redis-cli ping — job steps only start when services are healthy"
  - "Pattern 3: Artifacts uploaded with always() condition — reports available for debugging even on test failure"

# Phase 9 Plan 03: CI Pipeline Summary

**Gitea Actions CI pipeline with 2-job fail-fast (backend lint+pytest gates portal E2E+Lighthouse) — all test artifacts uploaded as JUnit XML, HTML, and Lighthouse JSON**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 3 min
- **Started:** 2026-03-26T04:40:00Z
- **Completed:** 2026-03-26T04:50:52Z
- **Tasks:** 1 (+ 1 pre-approved checkpoint)
- **Files modified:** 1

## Accomplishments

- Two-job Gitea Actions pipeline: `backend` (lint + pytest) → `portal` (build + E2E + Lighthouse), enforcing fail-fast ordering
- Backend job runs ruff check, ruff format --check, and pytest with JUnit XML output
- Portal job builds Next.js standalone, installs Playwright browsers, starts gateway, runs E2E flows + accessibility + Lighthouse CI
- All credentials (AUTH_SECRET, E2E_* users) sourced from Gitea secrets — never hardcoded
- Three artifact uploads with `if: always()`: playwright-report (HTML), playwright-junit (XML), lighthouse-report (JSON)

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Create Gitea Actions CI workflow** - `542ac51` (feat)

**Plan metadata:** *(created in this session)*

## Files Created/Modified

- `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` — Full 2-job CI pipeline: backend tests (ruff + pytest) and portal E2E (Playwright + Lighthouse CI)

## Decisions Made

- No `mypy --strict` step — existing codebase may have type gaps; ruff lint is the CI gate for now (can add mypy incrementally)
- `seed_admin` call wrapped in `|| true` — function may not exist in all DB states; test users are created by E2E auth setup via the login form
- Browser install includes `--with-deps` for all three engines — required for OS-level font/rendering dependencies in CI containers

## Deviations from Plan

None — plan executed exactly as written. CI file matched all specifications: 2 jobs, fail-fast ordering, correct service containers, secrets-based credentials, artifact uploads, lint/pytest/E2E/Lighthouse steps.

## Issues Encountered

None.

## User Setup Required

Before CI pipeline runs in Gitea, add these repository secrets at git.oe74.net under Settings → Secrets:

| Secret | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `AUTH_SECRET` | Next.js Auth.js secret (same as local .env) |
| `E2E_ADMIN_EMAIL` | Platform admin email for E2E tests |
| `E2E_ADMIN_PASSWORD` | Platform admin password |
| `E2E_CADMIN_EMAIL` | Customer admin email |
| `E2E_CADMIN_PASSWORD` | Customer admin password |
| `E2E_OPERATOR_EMAIL` | Customer operator email |
| `E2E_OPERATOR_PASSWORD` | Customer operator password |

These users must exist in the database (seeded via `seed_admin` or manual migration).

## Next Phase Readiness

- CI pipeline is complete — pushing to main or opening a PR will trigger the full test suite automatically
- Backend lint and pytest failures will block portal E2E from running (fail-fast enforced)
- All QA requirements (QA-01 through QA-07) are now covered by automated infrastructure
- Phase 9 is complete — project is beta-launch ready from a quality infrastructure standpoint
