Template Completeness

[x] Type — Feature
[x] Lineage
[x] Repo
[x] User Story
[x] Context
[x] File Targets
[x] Feature Flag — "none" (appropriate for docs)
[x] Acceptance Criteria

Traceability

[x] story:WS-S1 label — "As superadmin, I want to deploy platform changes via IaC so that infrastructure is reproducible and auditable"
[x] story note verified — found in project-westside-basketball user-stories section under Superadmin (Lucas)
[ ] arch:docs label — MISLABELED. This ticket documents the CI/CD pipeline, not a "docs" architecture component. Other CI/CD board items use arch:ci-cd (#1603) or arch:ci-pipeline (#1616, #438). [LABEL] Change to arch:ci-cd
[ ] arch note MISSING — no arch-docs, arch-ci-cd, or arch-ci-pipeline note exists in pal-e-docs. [SCOPE] Create architecture note arch-ci-cd for the CI/CD component
[x] Forgejo issue — ldraney/westside-basketball#137, open

File Targets

[x] docs/cicd-pipeline.md — to be created (expected for Feature). docs/ directory exists with 7 existing docs
[x] Dockerfile — verified exists (2.8k, multi-stage Ruby 3.4.8 build)
[x] .woodpecker.yaml — verified exists (3.4k, 6 steps: clone, bundle-install, lint, test, audit, build-and-push, update-kustomize-tag)

Repo Placement

OK. Issue filed on ldraney/westside-basketball, doc will live in docs/ of same repo. Single repo scope.

Dependencies

#1603 "Set up Woodpecker CI pipeline" — done (prerequisite work complete)
#1616 "Fix CI test failures and gem audit" — done
#1634 "Fix CI: update-kustomize-tag runs on build failure" — done
#438 "CI image repo mismatch" — done
No blocking dependencies. All upstream CI/CD work is complete.

Acceptance Criteria

6 criteria, all verifiable by an agent:

docs/cicd-pipeline.md exists — file existence check
Covers Woodpecker pipeline stages — grep for Woodpecker/pipeline content
Covers Harbor image registry — grep for Harbor content
Covers ArgoCD deployment flow — grep for ArgoCD content
Includes mermaid diagram — grep for ```mermaid block
Documents branch/tag strategy — grep for branch/tag content

All testable. No missing criteria detected.

Blast Radius

Documentation only — no code changes, no downstream consumers affected. Minimal blast radius.

Decomposition Assessment

1 file to create, 2 files to reference. 6 acceptance criteria but all targeting a single markdown file. Estimated agent work under 5 minutes. No decomposition needed.

Recommendation

[LABEL] Change arch:docs to arch:ci-cd — matches existing board convention (items #1603, #1616, #438 use arch:ci-cd or arch:ci-pipeline)
[SCOPE] Create architecture note arch-ci-cd for the CI/CD component in pal-e-docs — no arch note exists for any CI/CD label variant
[BODY] Remove or update constraint referencing sop-ci-pipeline-recovery — this SOP does not exist in pal-e-docs. Either create the SOP first or replace with "Reference platform CI/CD documentation as available"
