CI/CD for ML#

◆ The PatternAutomated testing of data, models, and deployments

ML CI/CD extends traditional CI/CD with three additional test layers: data validation (schema + quality), model validation (performance thresholds), and serving validation (latency + correctness). A merge should trigger retraining, evaluation, and conditional deployment.

Pattern bridge: CI/CD gates are automated significance tests — the model must prove it's better before shipping. The same "don't trust your intuition, trust the numbers" principle that cognitive bias awareness teaches.
