💡 Codex Review

bleedy/README.md

Line 56 in 46350d1

Please see the [CI/CD Guide](./docs/CI_CD_GUIDE.md).

README links to removed CI/CD guide

README still directs readers to ./docs/CI_CD_GUIDE.md, but this commit deletes that file, so anyone following the CI/CD documentation link now hits a 404 instead of the new consolidated guide. Update the link to point at the replacement document (e.g., DEVCONTAINER_AND_AUTOMATION.md).

@jules This is PR #57, which still has conflicts with, and is set to merge into origin master. The same is the case for PR #36, which has some overlapping feedback which is addressed in this branch, if they're not both actually the same feature branch. Clean up this mess in the cleanup task please, and let's start actually merging everything down.

[danelkay93]

@jules rebase this against origin master, address all unresolved and pertinent code review comments and suggestions for changes, including by any and all agents or bots in comments anywhere throughout this PR, and let's get this PR merged and the cleanup task resumed.
