  • docs/phase-1-2-comprehensive-report.md - Updated to 100%

⏭️ Manual Steps Required​

1. Authenticate with GCP (One-time)​

The Docker push failed due to missing application-default credentials. Complete authentication:

# Run in terminal with web browser access:
gcloud auth application-default login

# Follow browser authentication flow
# Then retry Docker push

Why needed: Docker's GCR credential helper requires application-default credentials for non-interactive environments.

2. Push Docker Image to GCR (3-5 minutes)​

# Image already tagged - just push:
docker push gcr.io/coditect-prod-563272/coditect-cloud-backend:v1.0.0-staging

# Expected output:
# v1.0.0-staging: digest: sha256:... size: 3456

3. Deploy to GKE Staging (10-15 minutes)​

Follow complete instructions in deployment-guide-staging.md:

# Get cluster credentials
gcloud container clusters get-credentials coditect-staging-cluster --zone us-central1-a

# Create namespace
kubectl apply -f deployment/kubernetes/staging/namespace.yaml

# Create secrets (see deployment-guide-staging.md for full commands)
kubectl create secret generic backend-secrets --namespace=coditect-staging ...

# Deploy application
kubectl apply -f deployment/kubernetes/staging/backend-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f deployment/kubernetes/staging/backend-service.yaml

# Watch rollout
kubectl rollout status deployment/coditect-backend -n coditect-staging --watch

4. Run Smoke Tests (15-30 minutes)​

# Get external IP
export STAGING_IP=$(kubectl get service coditect-backend -n coditect-staging \
  -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}')

# Test health endpoint
curl http://${STAGING_IP}/api/v1/health/live
# Expected: {"status": "healthy", "timestamp": "..."}

# Test authentication
curl http://${STAGING_IP}/api/v1/licenses/
# Expected: 401 Unauthorized
