+# GitHub Workflows — Nova Platform CI/CD Catalog
+
+This directory contains the 7 GitHub Actions workflows for the Nova
+platform. 3 are byte-identical Gitea mirrors (generated from
+`workflows-src/` by `scripts/sync_workflows.py`, P8/REQ-172); 4 are
+GitHub-only (Gitea act_runner feature gaps).
+
+## Shared workflows (byte-identical Gitea + GitHub)
+
+These 3 are generated from `workflows-src/<name>` by
+`scripts/sync_workflows.py`; the `.gitea/workflows/<name>` mirror is kept
+byte-identical. Run `python3 scripts/sync_workflows.py --check` to verify
+no drift.
+
+| Workflow | Trigger | Inputs | Required Secrets | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|--------|------------------|---------|
+| `ci.yml` | `pull_request: [main]` | — | — | Lint + test + check-only (runs on every PR) |
+| `deploy.yml` | `workflow_call` (reusable) + `push: [main]` | `contract` (string, required), `mode` (string, default `deploy`), `changeRequestId` (string), `environment` (string) | `NOVA_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `NOVA_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `NOVA_AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`, `NOVA_KMS_KEY_ID`, `NOVA_LAMBDA_URL` | Reusable deploy workflow (invoked by consumer repos via `uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.15`) |
+| `modules-lifecycle.yml` | `pull_request: [main]` + `workflow_dispatch` | `lifecycle_mode` (string, default `plan` — `plan` or `full`) | `NOVA_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `NOVA_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `NOVA_AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`, `NOVA_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID` | L1 + L2 module lifecycle pipeline (plan-only default; full apply/modify/destroy on override) |
+
+## GitHub-only workflows (no Gitea mirror)
+
+These 4 have no Gitea counterpart (Gitea act_runner lacks the features
+they require — reusable workflows, matrix `needs`, release API). See
+`.gitea/workflows/README.md` for the limitation rationale.
+
+| Workflow | Trigger | Inputs | Required Secrets | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|--------|------------------|---------|
+| `platform-test.yml` | `pull_request: [main]` | — | — | Lint + unit + integration + schema-validation (replaces `ci.yml` for PRs) |

+| `patterns-plan.yml` | `pull_request: [main]` | — | `NOVA_AWS_*` | Plan-only for all L2 modules (matrix) |
+| `release.yml` | `push: [main]` | — | `NOVA_GITEA_TOKEN` (for Gitea release API) | Semver tag + MAJOR.MINOR/MAJOR floating-tag maintenance + release creation on merge to main |

+# ACDL Reusable Deploy Workflow — Gitea Actions (dev environment)
+#
+# This reusable workflow implements the central deployment pipeline contract:
+#   pipelines/contract.yml (validated against schemas/deploy-pipeline.schema.json)
+#
+# 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
+#   the key on a daily cadence. When .env.secrets is used locally instead,
+#   rotating the key out of band is the consumer's responsibility.
