+# CI Workflows
+
+This project uses **GitHub Actions** for continuous integration.
+
+## Workflows Included
+
+- **Mobile Lint**  
+  Runs ESLint in the `mobile/` app directory to enforce code quality and catch errors early.
+
+- **Backend RBAC E2E**  
+  Runs Jest end-to-end tests in `backend/` to verify secure role-based access control.
+
+## How They Run
+
+| Workflow | Trigger |
+|---------|---------|
+| Mobile Lint | Push to `main` / `dev` + all pull requests |
+| Backend RBAC E2E | Push to `main` / `dev` or manual trigger |
+
+## Challenges
+
+- Ensuring proper working directories for monorepo structure (Fixed using `defaults.run.working-directory`)
+- Performance during installs (Fixed by caching Node dependency installs)
+
+## In the Future
+
+As we add more testing suites, we will expand our CI pipeline accordingly.  
+
+We plan to include full mobile end-to-end testing using [Detox](https://wix.github.io/Detox/) to ensure the entire app behaves correctly on real devices (soon!).
