📋 Decision Context

Question:

How should we handle GitLab identity verification requirements for CI pipelines?

Task: GitLab identity verification

🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

Complete GitLab identity verification (one-time process)

Options Considered:

1. Bypass with self-hosted GitLab
2. Direct Cloudflare deployment
3. Complete GitLab identity verification
4. Use alternative CI service

💭 Reasoning

GitLab.com requires identity verification to prevent CI/CD abuse (crypto mining, spam). This is a one-time 2-minute process via credit card or phone verification (no charges). Once verified, CI pipelines work permanently. Direct deployment bypasses CI benefits (testing, audit trail, rollback). Self-hosted GitLab adds infrastructure complexity. The proper solution is simply to verify the account.
