# Issue #663 - CI/CD QA Integration Coordination Document
**Orchestrator**: Opus 4.1
**Date**: August 22, 2025
**Branch**: feature/qa-cicd-integration-663
**Status**: IN PROGRESS
## Mission Objective
Integrate QA automation scripts into the CI/CD pipeline to enable systematic testing and regression prevention.
## Current State
- ✅ PR #672 merged - Config centralization complete
- ✅ PR #676 created - Deprecated tools removed
- ✅ QA scripts working with proper tool discovery
- 📋 Need to add QA to CI workflows
## Agent Assignments
### CI-AGENT-1: Workflow Implementation
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Model**: Sonnet 3.5
**Task**: Create GitHub Actions workflow for QA tests
**Specific Tasks**:
1. ✅ Create `.github/workflows/qa-tests.yml`
2. ✅ Configure to run on PR to develop branch
3. ✅ Set up proper environment variables
4. ✅ Add continue-on-error initially (non-blocking)
5. ✅ Configure test result reporting
**Files Created/Modified**:
- ✅ `.github/workflows/qa-tests.yml` (new)
**Implementation Details**:
- ✅ Runs only on develop branch PRs
- ✅ Sets TEST_PERSONAS_DIR environment variable
- ✅ Uses Node 20.x with npm cache
- ✅ 10-minute timeout with continue-on-error: true
- ✅ Uploads test results as artifacts (JSON + logs)
- ✅ Creates PR comment summary with key metrics
- ✅ Includes environment validation and error handling
- ✅ Uses timeout command to prevent hanging
- ✅ Graceful handling of missing jq for result parsing
**Key Features**:
- Environment validation before running tests
- Proper artifact upload with retention policies
- PR comment integration for visibility
- Non-blocking initially as requested
- Comprehensive error handling and logging
- Compatible with existing CI infrastructure
### TEST-AGENT-1: Test Environment Setup
**Status**: COMPLETE
**Model**: Sonnet 4
**Task**: Ensure QA scripts work in CI environment
**Specific Tasks**:
1. ✅ Update qa-test-runner.js for CI compatibility
2. ✅ Add CI detection logic
3. ✅ Configure proper paths for CI
4. ✅ Add error handling for CI-specific issues
5. ✅ Ensure cleanup happens even on failure
**Files Modified**:
- ✅ `scripts/qa-test-runner.js` - Added CI environment detection, proper cleanup, directory management
- ✅ `scripts/qa-utils.js` - Added CI detection utilities, directory creation, CI-specific functions
- ✅ `test-config.js` - Added CI-specific timeouts and test settings
- ✅ `scripts/qa-simple-test.js` - Updated for CI compatibility
- ✅ `scripts/qa-direct-test.js` - Updated for CI compatibility
**Implementation Details**:
- ✅ CI environment detection via multiple environment variables (CI, GITHUB_ACTIONS, etc.)
- ✅ Increased timeouts in CI (doubled for most operations)
- ✅ Proper docs/QA directory creation with CI-aware error handling
- ✅ Test skipping logic for tests requiring GitHub tokens or file system access
- ✅ Enhanced error reporting with CI-specific debugging information
- ✅ Cleanup operations that run even on test failures
- ✅ Environment metadata in test reports (CI vs Local)
- ✅ Graceful handling of missing TEST_PERSONAS_DIR in CI
**Key Requirements Met**:
- ✅ Detect CI environment (GitHub Actions and other CI systems)
- ✅ Use appropriate paths for CI (TEST_PERSONAS_DIR handling)
- ✅ Handle missing personas directory gracefully
- ✅ Clean up test artifacts with try/catch in finally blocks
## Implementation Plan
### Phase 1: Basic Integration (TODAY)
1. CI-AGENT-1 creates basic workflow file
2. TEST-AGENT-1 ensures scripts are CI-compatible
3. Test on a draft PR
4. Fix any issues found
### Phase 2: Enhanced Reporting (FUTURE)
- Add test result parsing
- Create status badges
- Add performance tracking
- Set up failure notifications
### Phase 3: Full Integration (FUTURE)
- Remove continue-on-error
- Make tests blocking for merge
- Add to release workflow
- Set up scheduled runs
## Success Criteria
- [ ] QA tests run on every PR to develop
- [ ] Test results visible in GitHub Actions
- [ ] Scripts handle CI environment properly
- [ ] No impact on existing workflows
- [ ] Clear documentation added
## Known Constraints
1. TEST_PERSONAS_DIR must be set in CI
2. GitHub token needed for some tests
3. May need to skip certain tests in CI
4. Performance may vary in CI vs local
## Agent Communication Protocol
