/devops-deploy-activate

Activate deployment pipeline — secrets, platforms, supply chain hardening, verification.

---

Overview

Takes infra-scaffold output and activates the deployment pipeline: configures GitHub secrets, pins GitHub Actions to SHA digests for supply chain security, provisions backend and frontend platforms (Railway, Vercel, Fly.io), sets up remote cache for monorepos, and triggers a verification pipeline run.

---

Usage

/devops-deploy-activate
/devops-deploy-activate [infra-scaffold-output]

Argument	Required	Description
infra-scaffold-output	No	Path to infra-scaffold output folder

When run without arguments, searches for the latest infra-scaffold output.

---

What It Produces

Files at $JAAN_OUTPUTS_DIR/devops/deploy-activate/{id}-{slug}/:

File	Content
{id}-{slug}.md	Activation report with secrets, platforms, and pipeline results

Also modifies .github/workflows/ files (SHA pinning).

What It Asks

Question	When	Why
Activation scope	Always	Which components to activate
Secret values	Per secret	User provides values securely
Platform setup	Per platform	Confirm provisioning steps
Cache token	Monorepo detected	Turborepo remote cache setup

---

Prerequisites

Tool	Required	Check Command
GitHub CLI (gh)	Yes	gh auth status
Railway CLI	If Railway target	railway version
Vercel CLI	If Vercel target	vercel --version
Fly CLI	If Fly.io target	fly version

Workflow Chain

/devops-infra-scaffold + /dev-output-integrate --> /devops-deploy-activate

Example

Input:

/devops-deploy-activate jaan-to/outputs/devops/infra-scaffold/01-my-app-infra/

Output:

Secrets configured:  5/5
Actions pinned:      8 actions → SHA digests
Backend:             Railway project linked
Frontend:            Vercel connected with preview deployments
Pipeline:            CI passed (2m 34s)

Activation report: jaan-to/outputs/devops/deploy-activate/01-my-app-activation/01-my-app-activation.md

Tips

• Run /devops-infra-scaffold first to generate the infrastructure files
• Run /dev-output-integrate to copy CI/CD files into .github/workflows/ before activating
• Ensure CLI tools are installed and authenticated before starting
• Secret values are entered interactively and never logged or stored in reports
