Verdict: READY

Re-review of board item #1380. Previous review review-1380-2026-06-07 returned NEEDS_REFINEMENT with 2 SCOPE findings (missing project-palinks and arch-palinks notes). Both have been created and verified.

Template Completeness

  • [x] Type — Spike
  • [x] Lineage — Standalone, clear rationale
  • [x] Repo — Multiple (palinks, pal-e-services, pal-e-deployments)
  • [x] Question — Well-framed with 7 sub-questions
  • [x] Deliverables — docs/pipeline.md update + follow-up ticket
  • [x] Time-box — 1 hour
  • [x] Related — 3 related repos listed
All required spike template sections present and well-structured.

Traceability

  • [x] story:containerize-palinks label — present on board item
  • [x] story note verified — found in project-palinks user-stories section: story:containerize-palinks — Containerization and CI/CD pipeline (done)
  • [x] arch:palinks label — present on board item
  • [x] arch note verified — arch-palinks note exists in pal-e-docs (tagged architecture,active). Contains Overview, Key Decisions, and Canonical Docs sections.
  • [x] Forgejo issue — ldraney/palinks#18, open
All three traceability legs verified. Previous SCOPE gaps resolved.

File Targets

  • [x] Dockerfile — verified: line 26 uses docker.io/library/ruby:3.4.9-slim, lines 30-33 manual apt-get for jemalloc and postgresql-client, lines 42-43 manual user creation. Divergence from platform standard confirmed.
  • [x] .woodpecker.yaml — verified: build stage already uses ruby-rails-build from Harbor (correct). No runtime image referenced in pipeline.
  • [x] docker-compose.yml — verified: dev uses ruby-rails-build from Harbor (correct, not affected by runtime change).
  • [x] docs/pipeline.md — verified: exists, 141 lines, documents current pipeline. This is the spike deliverable target.

Repo Placement

OK. Issue correctly filed on palinks as the primary repo. The issue body correctly identifies that investigation spans palinks, pal-e-services, and pal-e-deployments. Since this is a spike (investigation, not code), single-repo filing is appropriate.

Dependencies

  • Board item #1227 (Add Woodpecker CI pipeline) — done. Prerequisite satisfied.
  • Board item #1228 (Create production kustomize overlay) — done. Prerequisite satisfied.
  • Board item #1229 (Cutover: migrate DB and decommission local Puma) — done. Production is already containerized.
  • No blocking items in todo/in_progress/next_up.

Acceptance Criteria

Spike deliverables are clear and verifiable:
  • docs/pipeline.md updated with findings — agent can verify file was modified with runtime alignment content.
  • Follow-up ticket created — agent can verify a new Forgejo issue exists referencing the spike.
Sub-questions in the Question section provide good investigation structure. All 7 sub-questions are concrete and answerable.

Blast Radius

Low. The DockerHub ruby-slim reference exists only in Dockerfile:26. No other files reference it. The runtime image change is isolated to the production Dockerfile runtime stage. Dev workflow (docker-compose) uses ruby-rails-build and is unaffected. The pipeline (.woodpecker.yaml) builds the Dockerfile but doesn't reference the runtime image directly.

Decomposition Assessment

No decomposition needed. Single investigation spike with 2 deliverables, 1 primary repo, 1-hour time-box. Well within the 5-minute agent execution rule for the docs update and ticket creation that follow.

Recommendation

No action needed. Both previous SCOPE findings have been resolved:
  • [SCOPE] Create project page project-palinks — RESOLVED: note exists with user-stories section referencing story:containerize-palinks.
  • [SCOPE] Create architecture note arch-palinks — RESOLVED: note exists with architecture overview and key decisions.
Ticket is ready for execution.
