  • Optimize performance (parallel builds, caching, scope-reduced BOMs, dependency prefetch).
  • Ensure artifact integrity (correct SHA1/SHA256 mapping, reproducible inputs, evidence modelling).
  • Refactor Legacy scripts (remove global state, consolidate hashing, standardize templates).
  • Document ci-config.yaml standards and usage patterns.
