Goal

Remove reliance on infraUtils.new*Param (e.g., CLUSTER_ID) and build a structured job execution context.

Motivation

Current pipelines set ad-hoc env/params via infraUtils.new*Param, which is brittle and obscures data flow. We want a single, explicit context model for job execution metadata.

Proposed direction

• Define a Job Execution Context based on JOB_METADATA (jobdsl metadata), then enrich with cluster info when CLUSTER params are present.
• Provide a clear interface to read/add/update context fields.
• Evaluate existing Jenkins plugins for structured build metadata/context (if suitable, adopt).
• If no plugin, persist context as JSON in workspace and archive as artifact.

Scope (initial)

• Inventory infraUtils.new*Param usage across pipelines.
• Propose a shared library API for context handling.
• Migrate a pilot job (upgrade pipelines) to use the new context.

Acceptance criteria

• No infraUtils.new*Param usage in pilot jobs.
• Context is available to steps and archived for traceability.
• Documentation added with usage examples.
