A note on the Jenkins pipelines

The Jenkinsfile.* files in this repo are retained for historical reference and are not operational. The Jenkins servers and the AWS and Azure infrastructure they deployed to were decommissioned in August 2026, so nothing in them runs.

They are kept because they document how this service was built and deployed: the image layout per environment, the component split, and the deployment topology. Read them as history, not as a build system you can run.

The GitHub Actions workflows in .github/workflows, where present, are the only automation that still executes.
