+#
+# The same contract is implemented by .github/workflows/deploy.yml (GitHub
+# Actions, production). Both files must be byte-identical — the only
+# declared difference is the forge/runtime, not the stages or commands.
+#
+# Consumer repos invoke this workflow via a versioned tag (floating MAJOR + MINOR):
+#   uses: acdl/.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.9   (Gitea)
+#   uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.9  (GitHub)
+#
+# Unversioned references (@main, bare) are discouraged — the consumer's setup
+# must be immutable + resilient. The versioned tag is the only immutability
+# lever (version constraints cannot be expressed inside the contract).
+#
+# What this workflow does:
+#   1. Checks out the consumer repo (the repo that invoked the workflow).
+#   2. Checks out the ACDL platform repo into the workspace (platform/).
+#      This is the run-time fetch — consumers never clone the platform repo.
+#   3. Installs runtime deps: Python 3.12, Terraform 1.9.*, Checkov.
+#   4. Configures AWS auth (OIDC default; static-key override via secrets).
+#   5. Runs scripts/run_platform.sh against the consumer's contract path.
+#   6. Uploads artifacts (emitted Terraform, Checkov JSON, confidence JSON,
+#      platform log) for auditability.
+#
+# Inputs:
+#   contract  — path to the consumer's contract YAML (default .nova/contract.yml)
+#   mode      — full | plan-only | check-only (default full; dev = full apply,
+#               higher environments hold for HITL — the calling repo or the
+#               forge environment gate enforces that)
+#
+# Auth (zero-trust default — see README.md#credentials--zero-trust):
+#   OIDC federation is the default. permissions: id-token: write lets the
+#   forge mint a short-lived STS token. The role-to-assume is scoped by the
+#   consumer's repository identity (ABAC) — the workflow assumes the role
+#   that matches repo:org/consumer-repo:ref:refs/heads/main, and the session
+#   policy restricts view/update to resources tagged acdl:owner=<consumer-repo>.
+#
+#   Override (where OIDC is unavailable, e.g. Gitea pending
+#   go-gitea/gitea#36988): set NOVA_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID + NOVA_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
+#   as repository secrets. The platform-managed scheduled pipeline rotates

+# ACDL Modules Lifecycle Pipeline — Gitea Actions (dev environment)
+#
+# Matrix-runs each L1 module's examples/{simple,complex}.yml contracts through
+# apply→modify→destroy against live AWS. No per-module Python. The "test" =
+# the pipeline cell going green.
+#
+# Also matrix-runs L2 composition modules (static-assets, microservice) through
+# the same apply→modify→destroy lifecycle. L2 = composition only (no L2
+# terraform files); the composition must be deterministic.
+#
+# This workflow implements pipelines/modules-lifecycle.yml (byte-identical
+# in .gitea/workflows/ and .github/workflows/).
+#
+# Lifecycle mode (REQ-134, v1.12): the `lifecycle_mode` input defaults to
+# "plan" — the lifecycle scripts run `run_platform.sh --plan-only` (fast,
+# no AWS mutation, validates the contract->resolver->adapter->plan chain
+# for every module on every PR, with no AWS credentials or cost). Set to
+# "full" via workflow_dispatch (or the NOVA_LIFECYCLE_MODE repo variable)
+# to run the real apply→modify→destroy against live AWS. In plan mode the
+# short-lived CI VPC apply/destroy jobs are skipped (nothing is applied).
+#
+# A short-lived CI VPC (terraform/ci-vpc/) is created before testing VPC-dependent
+# modules (alb, ecs-service, rds, uptime, and L2 microservice) and destroyed
+# after all tests complete. The CI VPC is separate from the long-lived platform
+# VPC. Outputs are read from the S3 state by each lifecycle job (no artifact
+# passing needed).
