CI/CD & Automation
CI/CD pulls signed specs, not raw mappings. ReleasePromoted entries close the chain for each environment promotion, and every promotion carries the ULID of the ApproverReleaseSigned entry it was authorized by.
Magellan integrates with CI/CD pipelines to automate the promotion of schemas, mappings, and rules through environments (dev → staging → production).
Metadata changes can be triggered by pipeline events, and Magellan can emit events that trigger downstream pipeline stages.
Each promotion writes a `ReleasePromoted` entry referencing the `ApproverReleaseSigned` ULID it was authorized by. A pipeline cannot promote to production without an approval entry to point at — there is no untracked path.
This automation ensures that metadata curation is repeatable and auditable, eliminating manual steps that are prone to error and inconsistency.
Teams can define quality gates that must pass before metadata changes are promoted, such as completeness checks, validation rule compliance, and impact analysis sign‑off. Each gate evaluation writes `QualityGateEvaluated` with pass/fail and the rule identifier.
Audit ledger entries written by this feature
Each action in this feature appends one of the following entry types to the ULID‑keyed, SHA‑256 hash‑chained audit ledger. A reviewer can replay the chain to reconstruct exactly what happened, when, and under which role.
