 ## 12. Deployment & CI/CD
 
-- **Images** are built by **Gitea Actions** on `git.jpaul.io` and pushed to the **Gitea container registry**.
-- Servers **pull** new images to deploy — no build on the host.
+- **Images** are built by **Gitea Actions** (`runs-on: docker`) and pushed to the **Gitea container registry**, one package per component (`provenance-backend`, `provenance-frontend`) linked to the repo.
+- **Split push/pull endpoints** (mirrors the drawbar setup): CI **pushes** to the LAN registry endpoint `192.168.0.2:1234` over plain HTTP (buildx configured `insecure`/`http`) to bypass the Cloudflare request-body limit; servers **pull** from the public `git.jpaul.io` FQDN (TLS via Cloudflare). Same Gitea registry, two front doors. Auth uses the `REGISTRY_TOKEN` Actions secret.
+- Tag scheme: `test-main` (current main), `test-sha-<long>` (rollback pins), the component version, and `latest` on `v*` tags.
+- Servers **pull** new images to deploy — no build on the host. The deploy compose references `git.jpaul.io/justin/provenance-{backend,frontend}:${IMAGE_TAG:-test-main}`; `docker-compose.dev.yml` is a local-build override.
 - **Caddy** terminates TLS and reverse-proxies frontend + backend. **Cloudflare Tunnel** is the preferred ingress (no open inbound ports) but is never required; a plain Caddy-on-a-public-host deployment is equally supported.
 - **Configuration** is entirely environment-driven (twelve-factor). One `.env` plus the compose file is enough to stand up a deployment.
 - **Migrations** run on backend start (or via an explicit job) so an image pull + restart is a complete upgrade.
