+[.lead]
+A comprehensive, language-agnostic CI/CD framework that automatically detects project configurations and provides unified scripts for building, testing, linting, and deploying across multiple platforms.
+
+toc::[]
+
+== What Has Been Built
+
+This repository contains a complete, working CI/CD infrastructure framework. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of all implemented components.
+
+=== Core CI Scripts
+
+Seven production-ready shell scripts comprising ~2,500+ lines of code:
+
+[cols="2,4,2",options="header"]
+|===
+|Script |Functionality |Status
+
+|`ci-scripts/detect.sh`
+|**Auto-detection engine** — Scans repositories to identify languages, package managers, test frameworks, and build systems. Outputs results as text or JSON.
+|✅ Complete
+
+|`ci-scripts/setup.sh`
+|**Dependency installer** — Installs project dependencies using the detected package manager (npm/yarn/pnpm/bun, pip/pipenv/poetry, bundler, cargo, go modules, maven/gradle, composer, dotnet).
+|✅ Complete
+
+|`ci-scripts/test.sh`
+|**Unified test runner** — Executes tests across all supported frameworks with coverage reporting. Supports `--coverage`, `--verbose`, `--ci` flags.
+|✅ Complete
+
+|`ci-scripts/lint.sh`
+|**Code quality checker** — Runs language-appropriate linters with optional auto-fix capability. Supports `--fix`, `--verbose` flags.
+|✅ Complete
+
+|`ci-scripts/build.sh`
+|**Build orchestrator** — Compiles/packages projects using detected build systems. Supports `--release`, `--debug` modes with parallel compilation.
+|✅ Complete
+
+|`ci-scripts/sync-mirror.sh`
+|**Event-driven mirror sync** — Synchronizes repositories between platforms (GitHub ↔ GitLab). Supports branch and tag propagation, dry-run mode.
+|✅ Complete
+
+|`ci-scripts/verify-mirror.sh`
+|**Sync verification** — Validates that two remotes are synchronized. Generates detailed verification reports with discrepancy detection.
+|✅ Complete
+|===
+
+=== Detection Capabilities
+
+The detection engine (`detect.sh`) recognizes:
+
+==== Languages (14+)

+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+version: 1
+
+project:
+  name: my-project
+  type: nodejs  # Override auto-detection
+

+    fix: false
+
+mirror:
+  enabled: true
+  target: gitlab

+    - develop
+----
+
+== Repository Mirroring
+
+UPM includes event-driven repository mirroring between GitHub and GitLab.
+
+=== Setup
+
+. Generate an SSH key:
++
+[source,bash]
+----
+ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "github-to-gitlab-mirror" -f gitlab_mirror_key
+----
+
+. Add the public key to GitLab as a deploy key with write access
+
+. Add secrets to GitHub:
+* `GITLAB_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY`: Contents of `gitlab_mirror_key`
+* `GITLAB_MIRROR_URL`: `git@gitlab.com:your/repo.git`
+
+. Push to main/master to trigger sync
+
+See link:SECRETS.md[SECRETS.md] for detailed instructions.
+
+== Roadmap
+
+See link:ROADMAP.adoc[ROADMAP.adoc] for the complete development roadmap.
