 **Last Updated: 2026-03-26**
 
 ### Recent Changes (2026-03-26)
+- Added Traefik IngressRoute, cert-manager Certificate, and CI/CD pipeline manifests (`deploy/k8s/`):
+  - `ingress/acb-api-ingressroute.yaml` — Traefik IngressRoute for `api.aicodebattle.com`
+    with CORS middleware (allow origins for aicodebattle.com), security headers, rate limiting (100 req/min burst 200)
+  - `ingress/acb-api-certificate.yaml` — cert-manager Certificate (Let's Encrypt prod, ECDSA P-256)
+  - `ci/event-source.yaml` — Argo Events webhook EventSource (port 12000)
+  - `ci/sensor.yaml` — Argo Events Sensor: triggers Argo Workflow on push to master
+    with DAG of parallel Kaniko builds for all 10 container images + site build
+  - `ci/workflow-template-build-image.yaml` — WorkflowTemplate: Kaniko build with layer caching
+  - `ci/workflow-template-build-site.yaml` — WorkflowTemplate: npm ci + build for web SPA
+  - `ci/service-account.yaml` — ServiceAccount + Role + RoleBinding for CI workflows
+  - `sealed-secrets/registry-credentials.yaml` — SealedSecret template for Forgejo registry auth
+  - All 30 K8s manifest files validated (valid YAML with correct apiVersion/kind)
+  - All tests pass (engine + worker + mapgen + api)
+
+### Previous Changes (2026-03-26)

   - Health/readiness probes and resource limits on all deployments
+- [x] Traefik IngressRoute + TLS (`deploy/k8s/ingress/`)
+  - `acb-api-ingressroute.yaml` - IngressRoute for `api.aicodebattle.com` (websecure entrypoint)
