Freewrite

A quieter Wednesday with no meetings — good conditions for heads-down work. The automated pipelines ran cleanly in the morning and the day’s only manual conversation deepened understanding of GitHub Actions mechanics: data flow between steps, Python-powered webhooks, and the built-in Projects kanban. The weekly PKM consolidator also ran today, closing out W22 with a new evergreen note on API keys vs OAuth identity.

Auto - GitHub Action

Follow-up Q&A on GitHub Actions mechanics — answered four specific questions: (1) GitHub Projects V2 is a real built-in kanban with native automation rules, but custom logic still requires Actions on top; (2) workflows run on GitHub-hosted VMs by default, with runs-on: self-hosted available for local machine access; (3) scripts live in the repo under scripts/ and are checked out automatically, with data flowing between steps via $GITHUB_OUTPUT and env:; (4) curl webhooks can be replaced with Python scripts for conditional logic before firing. → See github-actions-guide
