Automated Development Pipeline

Every line of code at Conduction passes through an automated pipeline before it reaches production. The pipeline enforces quality, security, and compliance — no exceptions.

Branch Flow

feature/* ──┐
bugfix/*  ──┼──→ development ──→ beta ──→ main
hotfix/*  ──┘

All branches are protected. No direct pushes. Every change flows through a pull request with peer review and CI.

Target	Reviews required	What triggers
`development`	1 reviewer	Quality CI
`beta`	1 reviewer	Quality CI + beta release
`main`	2 reviewers	Full CI + stable release

Quality Gates

Every PR triggers four parallel quality gates — all must pass before merge:

PHP Quality

Check	Tool
Syntax	`php -l`
Code style	PHPCS (PSR-12)
Static analysis	PHPStan + Psalm
Mess detection	PHPMD
Code metrics	PHPMetrics

Frontend Quality

Check	Tool
JavaScript/Vue	ESLint
CSS/SCSS	Stylelint

Dependency Checks

Check	What it catches
License compliance	Copyleft or restricted licenses in dependencies
Vulnerability scan	Known CVEs in composer and npm packages
SBOM generation	CycloneDX bill of materials for audit trail

Security

Check	What it catches
`composer audit`	Known PHP dependency vulnerabilities
`npm audit`	Known JS dependency vulnerabilities

Automated Releases

Releases are fully automated via GitHub Actions:

Merge to beta → beta release (nightly channel)
Merge to main → stable release

Version numbers are calculated from PR labels:

Label	Version bump
`major`	1.0.0 → 2.0.0
`minor`	1.0.0 → 1.1.0
`patch` (default)	1.0.0 → 1.0.1
