# ♻️ LifecycleStack

LifecycleStack will eventually house the tooling and processes that manage the evolution of TSYSDevStack workloads—from ideation and delivery to ongoing operations. While the folder is in its inception phase, this README captures the intent and provides collaboration hooks for the future.

## Focus Areas
| Stream | Description | Status |
|--------|-------------|--------|
| Release Management | Define staged promotion paths for stack artifacts. | 🛠️ Planning |
| Observability Loop | Capture learnings from SupportStack deployments back into build workflows. | 🛠️ Planning |
| Governance & Quality | Codify checklists, runbooks, and lifecycle metrics. | 🛠️ Planning |

---

## 🚀 Quick Start
1. Navigate to the LifecycleStack directory:
   ```bash
   cd LifecycleStack
   ```

2. Review the `collab/` directory for planning documents and collaboration notes:
   ```bash
   ls -la collab/
   ```

---

## 🧭 Working Agreement
- **Stacks stay in sync.** When you add or modify automation, update both the relevant stack README and any linked prompts/docs.
- **Collab vs Output.** Use `collab/` for planning and prompts, keep runnable artifacts under `output/`.
- **Document forward.** New workflows should land alongside tests and a short entry in the appropriate README table.
- **AI Agent Coordination.** Use Qwen agents for documentation updates, code changes, and maintaining consistency across stacks.

## Next Steps
1. Draft an initial lifecycle charter outlining environments and promotion triggers.
2. Align with SupportStack automation to surface lifecycle metrics.
3. Incorporate ToolboxStack routines for reproducible release tooling.
