CI/CD — Operating Model

Governance lives in GitHub Actions, branch protection, and environment approvals — not in assistant memory. See docs/Operating-Model.md for the full picture.

Flow:

1. Copilot/assistant drafts changes on a feature branch and opens a PR.
2. PR mandatory checks run automatically (.github/workflows/pr-checks.yml): install/tooling validation, build/artifact validation, lint, link/site sanity, and no-secrets/config sanity. Branch protection should mark these jobs as required for merging to main.
3. Production deployment (.github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml) runs on push:main and on workflow_dispatch, targets the production GitHub environment (which can require human approval), and records a GitHub deployment status for every run.
4. Post-deploy smoke tests (.github/workflows/site-health.yml) verify DNS, TLS, HTTP status, and page title for the GitHub Pages default URL and the custom domain. Runs after every deploy, on a 6-hour schedule, and on demand. Failures open a tracking issue.
5. DNS as code: expected records live in dns/records.yaml (machine-readable, consumed by scripts/check_dns.py). The site-health workflow diffs expected vs live records.

DNS

Custom domain: mafrick-munene-advocates.com (CNAME → lglenz.github.io.). The parent zone elbconsultingtech.com is managed under ELB Consulting Tech outside this repository. Both DNS propagation and the GitHub-issued TLS certificate may take time after the CNAME is added; the site-health workflow treats failures on the custom domain as warn-only until the host is verified live. Once end-to-end is confirmed, flip the custom-domain target in site-health.yml to required: "true".
