Story (Required)

• 
  Integrate automated tests into the CI/CD pipeline to run tests on every pull request and merge. CI MUST be running successfully with tests automated.

Background and Approach (Required)

• 
  Create GitHub Actions workflow (or update existing CI config), configure test execution in CI environment (primary: real OpenShift test cluster, fallback: mock mode if cluster unavailable), set up test cluster provisioning/access (similar to gitops-operator's approach), configure authentication for CI/CD (service accounts with RBAC), set up test reporting (test results, coverage if applicable), configure test failure notifications, ensure tests run on PR creation/updates and main branch merges, ensure CI pipeline fails if tests fail (blocking merges)

Out of Scope

• <Defines what is not included in this story.>

Dependencies

• GITOPS-8542

Acceptance Criteria (Mandatory)

• CI/CD workflow created/updated and running successfully
• Tests run automatically on pull requests (blocking merges if tests fail)
• Tests run automatically on main branch merges
• Mock mode available as fallback if cluster unavailable
• Test cluster provisioning/access configured
• Authentication configured for CI/CD environment
• Test results are visible in CI/CD pipeline
• CI fails if tests fail (blocking merges)
• CI pipeline is stable and reliable
