INITIAL ALERT

A CI job cannot exchange its OIDC token for cloud credentials.

You are primary on-call. Establish the failure domain, protect healthy capacity, and choose the safest next action.

KNOWN-GOOD BASELINE

The role trust policy names the correct repository and branch.

The decisive evidence and solution remain locked inside the simulation.

WHAT THIS TESTS

Production judgment across CI/CD · OIDC.

A green pipeline can still ship the wrong artifact or an unrecoverable change. Reliable delivery depends on provenance, identity, reconciliation ownership, and rollback compatibility.

  1. 01Verify build and artifact provenance
  2. 02Diagnose deployment identity failures
  3. 03Plan rollback around irreversible changes
