Dogfooding Tekton project with Tekton
summary
The project replaced bash plumbing with Tekton pipelines, turning messy repo scripts into composable tasks, publishing those tasks to the Tekton CD catalogue and using Tekton to build, test and continuously deliver Tekton itself. CI runs create preview environments per PR with pipeline-run feedback and GitHub comments; integration with Prow works via a small agent. Logging and artifacts currently rely on GCS (vendor lock), garbage collection and param outputs are missing, but the dogfooding pipeline demonstrably builds and deploys the system.
