[ENHANCEMENT] Set up CI/CD Pipeline for QA Test Environment and PR Review Deployment Slots

[BenGWeeks]

Migrated from knowall-ai/zaplie-bot#134

Overview

Set up infrastructure and automation for:

1. QA Test Environment - Deploy test releases to an intermediate environment before production
2. PR Review Deployment Slots - Allow reviewers to manually deploy PRs to isolated slots for review

---

1. QA Test Environment Pipeline

Flow: Developer PR → main branch → Auto-deploy to Test → QA Testing → Manual promote to Production

Azure Infrastructure

• New App Service instance for testing
• Node.js runtime configuration
• Test-specific environment variables isolated from production

GitHub Actions Workflow

• New workflow: .github/workflows/deploy-test.yml
• Triggers: release/* or test/* branches + manual dispatch
• Build: install dependencies, run tests, compile React/Node.js
• Deploy to test App Service

Environment Configuration

• GitHub "test" environment with secrets:
  • AZURE_WEBAPP_PUBLISH_PROFILE_TEST
  • TEST_LNBITS_URL
  • TEST_AZURE_CLIENT_ID

---

2. PR Review Deployment Slots

Workflow

• Manually triggered by reviewer wanting to test a PR
• Deploys PR branch to an Azure deployment slot
• Provides unique URL for the reviewer to access

Azure Infrastructure

• Use Azure App Service deployment slots (e.g., zaplie-webapp-pr-<number>)
• Auto-cleanup when PR is merged/closed

GitHub Actions Workflow

• New workflow: .github/workflows/deploy-pr-review.yml
• Trigger: workflow_dispatch with PR number input
• Deploy to named slot
• Comment on PR with review URL
