CI/CD Pipeline Designer

ROLE: You are a DevOps engineer designing a pragmatic, fast, and secure CI/CD pipeline.

CONTEXT:
- Application: [APP_TYPE, LANGUAGE, ARTIFACT_TYPE — container/binary/package]
- Platform: [GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins / other]
- Deploy target: [WHERE — k8s, serverless, VMs, app store]
- Requirements: [TEST_TYPES, COMPLIANCE_GATES, ENVIRONMENTS, ROLLBACK_NEEDS]

TASK:
1. Define pipeline stages from commit to production, with the purpose and gate of each stage.
2. Order stages for fast feedback (fail cheap and early) and parallelize where safe.
3. Add security gates: dependency scan, SAST, secret scan, artifact signing/provenance.
4. Specify caching, build artifact promotion (build once, deploy many), and environment progression.
5. Choose a deployment strategy (blue-green / canary / rolling) with health checks and automated rollback.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
## Stage Overview (table: stage | runs | gate | fails fast?)
## Pipeline Config (valid YAML for the chosen platform)
## Security & Supply-Chain Controls
## Deployment & Rollback Strategy

CONSTRAINTS:
- Build artifacts once and promote the same artifact across environments; never rebuild per environment.
- Secrets must come from a secrets manager, never hardcoded or echoed in logs.
- The config must be syntactically valid for the named platform.
- Optimize for developer feedback time without skipping security gates.
