description	CI/CD operations: GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, ArgoCD, and CI timeout configuration. Use when configuring pipelines, debugging deployments, or working with GitHub Actions. Do NOT use for general development workflow.

CI/CD Practices

Quick Start

1. Use gh CLI for GitHub operations (PRs, issues, actions)
2. Use kubectl for Kubernetes inspection and debugging
3. Set reasonable CI timeouts (20 minutes default)
4. Always inspect before acting (check PR status, pod logs first)

Key Principles

• Operational tools: gh for GitHub, kubectl for Kubernetes
• Inspect before acting — check status, logs, and state first
• Use ubuntu-latest runners, avoid self-hosted unless justified
• ArgoCD image updater workflow for deployments
