+## Gitea CI/CD
+
+This repo now includes a Gitea Actions workflow at `.gitea/workflows/ci-cd.yml`.
+
+- Push to `beta`: runs the backend unit-test quality gate and a production frontend build.
+- Push to `prod`: runs the same verification, then deploys to Docker on `AMS-DEV01`.
+
+The deploy step ships tracked repository files over SSH, preserves the server's `.env` and `data/`, rebuilds with `docker compose up -d --build`, and smoke-tests:
+
+- `http://127.0.0.1:8000/health`
+- `http://127.0.0.1:3000/login`
+
+Configure these Gitea Actions secrets before enabling the deploy job:
+
+- `PROD_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY`: private key for the deployment account.
+- `PROD_SSH_HOST`: target host, for example `AMS-DEV01`.
+- `PROD_SSH_USER`: target user, for example `zak`.
+- `PROD_DEPLOY_PATH`: target app path, for example `/home/zak/magent`.
+- `PROD_SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS`: optional pinned `known_hosts` entry for stricter host verification.
