# CI Template Generator CLI Command (stella ci init)

## Module
Cli

## Status
VERIFIED

## Description
CLI command `stella ci init` generating ready-to-run CI pipeline templates for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Gitea. Supports gate/scan/verify/full template types, offline-friendly bundles with pinned scanner image digests, and template validation via `stella ci validate`.

## Implementation Details
- **Command Group**: `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Commands/CiCommandGroup.cs` -- `CiCommandGroup` (public static class)
- **CI Templates**: `src/Cli/StellaOps.Cli/Commands/CiTemplates.cs` -- template definitions and generation logic
- **Sprint**: SPRINT_20251229_015_CLI_ci_template_generator
- **Commands**:
  - `stella ci init` -- generate CI pipeline templates. Options: `--provider github|gitlab|gitea`, `--type gate|scan|verify|full`, `--output <path>`
  - `stella ci validate` -- validate generated CI templates for correctness
- **Template types**: gate (policy gate only), scan (scan + gate), verify (full verification), full (complete pipeline)
- **Offline support**: Templates include pinned scanner image digests for air-gapped environments

## E2E Test Plan
- [ ] Run `stella ci init --provider github --type full --output .github/workflows/` and verify GitHub Actions workflow file created
- [ ] Run `stella ci init --provider gitlab --type scan` and verify .gitlab-ci.yml created with scan stage
- [ ] Run `stella ci init --provider gitea --type gate` and verify Gitea workflow created with gate stage
- [ ] Run `stella ci init --type verify` and verify verification pipeline template generated
- [ ] Run `stella ci validate .github/workflows/stella.yml` and verify template validation passes
- [ ] Verify generated templates contain pinned scanner image digests (sha256 references)
- [ ] Verify templates are functional when run in their respective CI environments
- [ ] Verify offline-friendly bundle mode generates self-contained templates
- [ ] Run with invalid `--provider` and verify helpful error message
