Answer normal lesson questions without a timer. Every answer includes an explanation, and incorrect answers can be tried again before continuing.

CONCEPT MODELS

See the lesson as a system

Use these visual guides to connect the key ideas before answering the questions.

Connect the roles in Design a CI Workflow with Triggers, Jobs, and StepsKeep trigger event, job graph, runner context, and step command as separate service roles.
Connect the roles in Design a CI Workflow with Triggers, Jobs, and StepsA topic-specific model connects four distinct roles used to reason about design a ci workflow with triggers, jobs, and steps.
Workflow triggerWorkflow starts from scoped repository events
Pipeline stagesProcess orders dependent workflow jobs
Build runnerServer executes one isolated workflow job
Terminal commandCommand performs one job operation
Verify Run evidenceConnect run evidence with its topic-specific inspection, expected outcome, and protected delivery boundary.
Verify Run evidenceA verification model for design a ci workflow with triggers, jobs, and steps connects the final service decision to its check, result, and protected boundary.
