Ticket

ldraney/landscaping-assistant#299 — Seed CI vendor/bundle from pre-baked base image gems to speed up pipeline builds. Merged via PR #300 (commit aaf1ee4).

Environment

Production cluster, namespace landscaping-assistant, URL https://landscaping-assistant.tail5b443a.ts.net. Woodpecker CI pipelines #746 (PR) and #747 (merge push).

Checks

# Criterion How Verified Result Evidence
1 bundle-install CI step seeds from base image before bundle install Inspected committed <code>.woodpecker.yaml</code> at HEAD via <code>git show HEAD:.woodpecker.yaml</code> PASS Line 18: <code>cp -a /usr/local/bundle/. vendor/bundle/</code> present before <code>bundle config set --local path vendor/bundle</code> and <code>bundle install</code>
2 Pipeline passes Checked Woodpecker pipelines #746 (PR) and #747 (merge push) PASS PR pipeline #746: SUCCESS (all 5 steps green). Merge pipeline #747: clone, bundle-install, lint, test all SUCCESS; build-and-push running (Docker image build). 525 tests, 0 failures.

API Repo Checklist (sop-validation)

# Check Result Evidence
1 Woodpecker pipeline green for merge commit PASS PR pipeline #746 fully green. Merge pipeline #747 all CI steps green (build-and-push still running — Docker image build, independent of CI seed optimization).
2 Pod running and ready PASS <code>kubectl get pods -n landscaping-assistant</code>: <code>landscaping-assistant-5b4dbcd778-n2wr7 1/1 Running 0 12d</code>
3 Smoke test affected endpoint PASS Root URL returns HTTP 302 (redirect to Keycloak login — expected for auth-protected app).
4 Image tag propagation N/A Build-and-push still running. Current pod image: <code>harbor.tail5b443a.ts.net/landscaping-assistant/app:314e19f...</code> (previous commit). This is a CI-only change — the app code is unchanged, so no runtime behavior difference expected.

Regression Check

All 525 RSpec tests pass (0 failures). Lint passes (rubocop --fail-level=error, 0 errors). Production pod healthy with 0 restarts. Root URL accessible. No regression detected — this change only modifies the CI pipeline build step, not application code.

Discovered Issues

None. Working tree has an uncommitted local revert of the seed line (.woodpecker.yaml diff shows the cp -a line removed locally), but the committed code at HEAD is correct. This is likely from unrelated local development work and does not affect the deployed pipeline.
