Pipeline Authoring 18.5 Planning issue

Pipeline Authoring Issue Boards

• Pipeline Authoring workflow board
• Pipeline Authoring needs weight board

Current/Upcoming Security issues

• Current Security Issues Open
• Upcoming Security Issues Due

Goals for the milestone

• Bug burndown
  • Get rid of remaining severity2 issues, likely some of them coming in from Pipeline Execution
  • Afterwards focus on infradev and security issues with lower severity, overdue ones first
• Work towards successful delivery of Read inputs from a file (gitlab-org/gitlab#415636)
• Proceed with interlock projects
  • Allow interpolation to use local context data needs to be ready for development, ideally we can start implementation this milestone
  • Dynamic Input Selection and Job Inputs should start taking shape; both are due in Q1FY27 – but ideally I'd like us to deliver Dynamic Input Selection in Q4FY26 already so there is fewer things at the same time.
  • Preparing for future interlock items
    • We thought about Pipeline Creation Performance for Q2FY27, but I'll probably put it up for Q3FY27 instead, so we can do JSON schema for validation in Q2FY27 first. It's a good prerequisite and complex enough on its own.
    • We haven't progressed the Interlock - Support .com components in a Self M... (gitlab-org&15224) topic, but we still want to do it as a future interlock item. We need to get it into "interlock shape", which will require planning work.
• Onboarding Sahil :)
