| 121 | +- Helpful bot comments |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +## Required Secrets |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +The following secrets need to be configured in the repository: |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +1. `NPM_TOKEN` - For publishing to NPM registry |
| 128 | +2. `CODECOV_TOKEN` - For coverage reporting (optional) |
| 129 | +3. `GITHUB_TOKEN` - Automatically provided by GitHub Actions |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +## Local CI Simulation |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +Developers can simulate CI checks locally: |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +```bash |
| 136 | +# Install dependencies |
| 137 | +npm ci |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +# Run all checks |
| 140 | +npm run lint |
| 141 | +npm run build |
| 142 | +npm test |
| 143 | +npm run test:coverage |
| 144 | +npm audit |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +# Check for circular dependencies |
| 147 | +npx madge --circular --extensions ts src/ |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +# Check bundle size |
| 150 | +npm run build && find dist -name "*.js" -size +500k |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +# Type coverage |
| 153 | +npx type-coverage --at-least 90 |
| 154 | +``` |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +## Monitoring and Notifications |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +- Build status badges in README |
| 159 | +- Failed build notifications via GitHub |
| 160 | +- PR comment notifications |
| 161 | +- Issue creation for vulnerabilities |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +## Performance Optimizations |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +1. **Dependency caching** - Node modules are cached between runs |
| 166 | +2. **Parallel jobs** - Tests run on multiple platforms simultaneously |
| 167 | +3. **Conditional steps** - Coverage only uploaded from one job |
| 168 | +4. **Smart test execution** - Only affected tests run on PRs |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +## Maintenance |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +### Regular Tasks |
| 173 | +- Review and merge Dependabot PRs |
| 174 | +- Monitor security alerts |
| 175 | +- Update GitHub Actions versions |
| 176 | +- Review and optimize workflow performance |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +### Troubleshooting Common Issues |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +1. **Cache issues**: Clear cache in Actions settings |
| 181 | +2. **Flaky tests**: Add retry logic or increase timeouts |
| 182 | +3. **Permission errors**: Check repository settings and PAT tokens |
| 183 | +4. **npm publish failures**: Verify NPM_TOKEN and 2FA settings |
| 184 | + |
