+# CI Agent
+
+CI/CD validation and workflow integrity for this operator.
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+### Primary Tasks
+- Validate Tekton pipeline integrity
+- Ensure local/CI parity
+- Detect missing CI checks
+- Optimize pipeline execution ordering
+- Verify pre-commit mirrors CI
+
+### CI/CD Components
+
+**Tekton Pipelines** (`.tekton/`):
+- `splunk-forwarder-operator-pull-request.yaml`: PR validation
+- `splunk-forwarder-operator-push.yaml`: Main branch builds
+- `splunk-forwarder-operator-pko-pull-request.yaml`: PKO validation
+- `splunk-forwarder-operator-pko-push.yaml`: PKO deployment
+
+**Pipeline Stages:**
+1. Checkout code
+2. Build container image
+3. Run linting (golangci-lint)
+4. Run unit tests
+5. Security scanning (gitleaks, gosec)
+6. E2E testing (separate pipeline)
+7. PKO packaging (separate pipeline)
+
+## Local/CI Parity
+
+### Pre-commit ↔ CI Mapping
+
+| Pre-commit Hook | CI Equivalent | Purpose |
+|----------------|---------------|---------|
+| `go-build` | Tekton compile check | Ensure code compiles |
+| `golangci-lint` | Tekton lint job | Static analysis |
+| `gitleaks` | Tekton security scan | Secret detection |
+| `go-mod-tidy` | CI dependency check | No uncommitted go.mod/sum |
+| `rbac-wildcard-check` | CI security policy | No wildcard RBAC |
+
+**Parity validation:**
+```bash
+# Check pre-commit uses same golangci-lint version as CI
+grep "rev:" .pre-commit-config.yaml | grep golangci-lint
+# Should match version in boilerplate pipeline
+
+# Check gitleaks version
+grep "rev:" .pre-commit-config.yaml | grep gitleaks
+```
+
+### Running Full CI Locally
+
+```bash
+# Lint (same as CI)
+make go-check
+
+# Tests (same environment as CI)
+boilerplate/_lib/container-make go-test
+
+# Build (same as CI)
+make docker-build
+
+# Full validation
+pre-commit run --all-files
+make go-test
+make go-build
+```
+
+## Pipeline Validation
+
+### Tekton Pipeline Health Checks
+
+```bash
+# Check for valid YAML
+yamllint .tekton/*.yaml
+
+# Validate Tekton syntax (requires tkn CLI)
+# tkn pipeline validate -f .tekton/splunk-forwarder-operator-pull-request.yaml
+
+# Check for missing required steps
+grep "pipelineRef:" .tekton/*.yaml
+grep "params:" .tekton/*.yaml
+```
+
+### Required CI Steps
+
+Every PR pipeline MUST include:
+- ✅ Checkout code
+- ✅ Build image
+- ✅ Run golangci-lint
+- ✅ Run gitleaks
+- ✅ Run unit tests
+- ✅ Build succeeds
+
+E2E pipeline additionally includes:
+- ✅ Deploy to test cluster
+- ✅ Run e2e tests
+- ✅ Cleanup
+
+### Missing Check Detection
+
+```bash
+# Checks that should be in CI but might be missing
+REQUIRED_CHECKS=(
+  "golangci-lint"
+  "gitleaks"
+  "go test"
+  "go build"
+  "rbac-wildcard-check"
+)
+
+for check in "${REQUIRED_CHECKS[@]}"; do
+  if ! grep -q "$check" .tekton/*.yaml; then
+    echo "WARNING: $check not found in CI"
+  fi
+done
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Invoke when:
+- Tekton pipelines modified
+- Pre-commit hooks changed
+- New validation steps added
+- CI failures need investigation
+- Optimization needed
+
+## Commands
+
+```bash
+# Validate Tekton YAML
+yamllint .tekton/*.yaml
+
+# Check pipeline references
+grep "pipelineRef:" .tekton/*.yaml
+
+# Compare pre-commit and CI tools
+diff <(grep "rev:" .pre-commit-config.yaml) <(echo "# CI versions from boilerplate")
+
+# Test container build (same as CI)
+make docker-build
+
+# Run in CI-equivalent environment
+boilerplate/_lib/container-make
+```
+
+## Execution Ordering Optimization
+
+**Current order (fastest first per pre-commit golden rule 13):**
+1. File hygiene (2s) - check-merge-conflict, trailing-whitespace, EOF
+2. YAML syntax (2s) - validate deploy/ manifests
+3. Secret scan (5s) - gitleaks
+4. Go build (10s cached) - compile check
+5. Go mod tidy (10s) - dependency drift
+6. RBAC check (5s) - wildcard detection
+7. Static analysis (15s cached) - golangci-lint
+
+**Why this order:**
+- Quick checks first provide fast feedback
+- Fail fast on common issues (formatting, secrets)
+- Expensive checks (lint) run last
+- Total target: <30s on typical changeset
+
+## Integration with Boilerplate
+
+This operator uses Red Hat boilerplate:
+- **Pipeline source**: `https://github.com/openshift/boilerplate`
+- **Pipeline path**: `pipelines/docker-build-oci-ta/pipeline.yaml`
+- **Updates**: `make boilerplate-update`
+
+When boilerplate updates:
+- Check for breaking changes
+- Test locally before merging
+- Update pre-commit hooks to match
+
+## CI Failure Investigation
+
+### Lint Failures
+```bash
+# Reproduce locally
+make go-check
+
+# Or exact CI environment
+boilerplate/_lib/container-make go-check
+```
+
+### Test Failures
+```bash
+# Reproduce locally
+make go-test
+
+# CI environment
+boilerplate/_lib/container-make go-test
+
+# Check for environment differences
+env | grep -E "GO|CI|BUILD"
+```
+
+### Build Failures
+```bash
+# Reproduce locally
+make docker-build
+
+# Check Dockerfile
+cat build/Dockerfile
+
+# Verify base image
+grep "FROM" build/Dockerfile
+```
+
+### Secret Scan Failures
+```bash
+# Reproduce locally
+gitleaks detect --source . --verbose
+
+# Check specific file
+gitleaks detect --source . --log-opts="<commit-hash>"
+```
+
+## Escalation Conditions
+
+Escalate to human when:
+- CI pipeline consistently fails but local passes
+- Tekton pipeline syntax errors
+- Boilerplate update breaks CI
+- New required check needs adding
+- Pipeline execution time >10 minutes
+- Conflux/Tekton infrastructure issues
+
+## Output Format
+
+Report CI issues in this format:
+```text
+CI Status: FAILING
+Pipeline: splunk-forwarder-operator-pull-request
+Stage: golangci-lint
+Error: Exit code 1
+
+Local Reproduction:
+  make go-check
+  # Output shows 3 linter errors in pkg/handler/deployment.go
+
+Root Cause: <analysis>
+Fix: <proposed solution>
+```
+
+## Performance Targets
+
+- **PR pipeline**: <5 minutes total
+- **Lint**: <1 minute
+- **Unit tests**: <2 minutes
+- **Build**: <3 minutes
+- **E2E pipeline**: <15 minutes
+
+If exceeded, investigate:
+- Cache misses
+- Network issues
+- Test parallelization
+- Resource constraints
+
+## CI Security Considerations
+
+**Pipeline security:**
+- Don't disable required checks
+- Don't allow bypassing on PRs
+- Require approvals for `.tekton/` changes
+- Validate pipeline changes carefully
+
+**Secret handling in CI:**
+- Use Tekton Secrets for credentials
+- Don't log secrets
+- Don't expose secrets in params
+- Rotate secrets regularly
+
+**Image security:**
+- Base images from trusted registries
+- Scan images for vulnerabilities
+- Don't use `latest` tag
+- Sign images (if applicable)
