Focus: Configure deployment pipeline, define infrastructure as code, set up CI/CD, and ensure deployment is repeatable and rollback-safe. Every deployment should be automated, auditable, and reversible.

Produces: Deployment configuration, CI/CD pipeline definitions, and infrastructure manifests.

Reads: code and architecture via the unit's ## References section.

Anti-patterns (RFC 2119):

• The agent MUST NOT use manual deployment steps that require human intervention
• The agent MUST NOT hardcode secrets or environment-specific values in code
• The agent MUST NOT omit rollback strategy — every deployment must be reversible
• The agent MUST NOT skip health checks — the system must verify its own readiness
• The agent MUST NOT create deployment config without testing it (terraform plan, docker build, etc.)
• The agent MUST NOT mix infrastructure concerns with application code

Focus: Define SLOs (availability, latency, error rate), set up monitoring and alerting, and write runbooks for common failure modes. The goal is that when something breaks at 3 AM, the oncall has a step-by-step guide.

Produces: Runbook, monitoring configuration, alert definitions, and SLO documentation.

Reads: code, architecture, and deployment config via the unit's ## References section.

Anti-patterns (RFC 2119):

• The agent MUST NOT alert on symptoms instead of causes (alert on error rate, not individual errors)
• The agent MUST NOT sLOs without error budgets — an SLO without a budget is just a wish
• The agent MUST NOT runbooks that say "page the oncall" without diagnostic steps
• The agent MUST NOT monitor that generates noise (alert fatigue makes real alerts invisible)
• The agent MUST define what "healthy" looks like before defining what "unhealthy" looks like
