Solo, but every deploy still has to pass the gate

Working solo, it's tempting to skip CI — no one else to break. I do the opposite: LLM Studio's pipeline gates every deploy on the full pytest suite (31 tests) plus ruff, pip-audit, and gitleaks.

The point isn't ceremony. It's that "I'll remember to check" doesn't scale past a few weeks, and the boring failures — a leaked secret, a vulnerable dependency, a lint regression — are exactly the ones a human skips when moving fast. A gate that runs on every push doesn't get tired or optimistic.

Constraints force good engineering: a $0 stack and one pair of hands means the machine has to catch what I won't. See LLM Studio.
