Pipeline Authoring 18.4 Planning issue

Pipeline Authoring Issue Boards

• Pipeline Authoring workflow board
• Pipeline Authoring needs weight board

Goals for the milestone:

• Bug burndown: [FY26-Q3] Pipeline Authoring - Reduce 100% of O... (gitlab-org/verify-stage#605 - closed) (interlock epic)
  • This includes Restrict use of pipeline variables by default (gitlab-org&16522 - closed), which aims to address several severity issues
  • Next step for this should be finishing up gitlab-org/gitlab#514242 (closed) so we can start dogfooding it internally. Development work for that might already be done.
  • As we're currently looking fairly good with S1/S2 bugs, I want us to look into lower-severity security and infradev issues as well
• Begin work on PA Runbooks
• Prepare for upcoming and future planned interlock items

Current/Upcoming Security issues:

• Current Security Issues Open
• Upcoming Security Issues Due

Capacity

• Verify:Pipeline Authoring Google Calendar
• Furkan helping out in CI Platform during August, i.e. half of 18.4
• Rajendra is on Co-Create in the second half of the milestone
• Marcel is out until September
