deploy

To enforce owner approval before deployment, the workflow requires a governance gate that stops the pipeline and requests explicit owner approval before proceeding with any staging or production release.

Pre-flight checks for a governed deployment include verifying version bumps, running protected behavior regression assertions, checking for a clean working tree, executing unit tests, and performing a security scan.

To update Azure Container Apps during a release, the workflow builds admin SPAs and widgets, enforces artifact freshness, performs the container registry image build, and updates the container app image.

Yes, regression testing and security scans are integrated as deterministic pre-flight checks that must pass before the build-deploy-verify pipeline proceeds with the container app update.

If post-deploy health or upgrade verification fails, the verification gates stop the deployment process on any regression or failed assertions to prevent unstable releases.

Yes, the pipeline applies environment-specific build commands and version validation checks to ensure deterministic deployments to either staging or production environments.
