## Summary
Two new plan documents in `docs/how-to/plans/`:
- **adopt-dagger-ci** — Migrate CI/CD build logic from Forgejo Actions YAML to Dagger (Python SDK). Forgejo Actions stays as a thin trigger layer. Covers:
- Container builds with local iteration (`dagger call build ... terminal`)
- Docs builds with Forgejo packages migration (replacing Forgejo releases)
- Runner simplification (only Docker + dagger CLI needed)
- Secrets handling via Dagger's `Secret` type
- Future: forked project builds, Python packages, pre-merge validation
- **upstream-fork-strategy** — Stacked-branch pattern for maintaining forks of upstream projects. Covers:
- Daily automated rebase with conflict detection and issue creation
- Branch model: `upstream/main` → `blumeops` → `feature/*`
- Quartz fork as first instance, enabling `last-reviewed` frontmatter rendering in docs
- Upstream PR path for contributing changes back
## Context
These plans emerged from evaluating alternatives to the GHA ecosystem (BuildKite, Concourse, Earthly) for CI/CD. Dagger was chosen for its local iteration story, Python-native pipelines, and zero-infrastructure requirements. The fork strategy is a prerequisite for customizing Quartz and other upstream tools.
Neither plan is ready for execution yet — they are design documents for future work.
