github actions ci notes: documenting production defaults behind a cdn

security and maintenance notes

write the final notes immediately after the change ships. include the reason for the change, the files touched, the command used, and the metric that improved. this turns a one-time fix into reusable team knowledge.

a good production pattern has a small surface area. it should be easy to test, easy to disable, and easy to explain to another developer in a few minutes.

implementation checklist

  • run linting
  • run unit tests
  • run one integration check
  • verify staging config
  • tag the release

final notes

the best result is not only a faster or cleaner github actions ci implementation. it is a change that another developer can inspect, understand, and safely repeat. keep the final commands, metrics, and assumptions close to the article so future maintenance is easier.
