summary
Demo builds a tiny burger-list app and proves end-to-end coverage by running Cypress tests inside a container that hits the real ingress, with three to four UI tests passing in CI. CI uses k3s in GitHub Actions to spin an ephemeral cluster, builds backend/frontend images tagged with the commit SHA, pushes them, and updates a separate config repo with fully Argo CD rendered-manifest pattern branches that Argo CD then watches and syncs. Mentions vCluster for ephemeral per-PR clusters.
