Summary

This branch adds a lightweight documentation marker file used to validate the latency and behavior of hosted GitHub mirror synchronization. The single new Markdown file serves as a smoke-test artifact: after a forge merge, the deployed runtime is expected to request and sync this file promptly, confirming that the mirror pipeline is functioning correctly.

Tutorial Steps

Add mirror smoke marker document

Intent: Introduce a dedicated smoke-test marker file that the deployed runtime can look for after a forge merge, validating that the GitHub mirror sync pipeline picks up new content with acceptable latency.

Affected files: docs/forge-mirror-smoke.md

+Mirror smoke validation: deployed runtime should request and run mirror sync promptly after a forge merge.

A new file docs/forge-mirror-smoke.md is added to the repository with no modifications to any existing files.

What the file contains

  1. YAML front-matter — declares a summary describing its purpose (mirror latency validation) and a read_when condition scoped to validating post-deploy forge mirror behavior.
  2. Body text — a single sentence asserting the expected behavior: the deployed runtime should request and execute a mirror sync promptly after a forge merge.

Why it matters

The file acts as a canary artifact. By merging a known marker into the repository, operators can verify end-to-end that:

  • The forge merge propagates to the hosted GitHub mirror.
  • The deployed runtime detects and fetches the new content within an acceptable latency window.

Because the file is purely declarative documentation with no code side-effects, it is safe to merge and serves only as an observable signal for the mirror smoke test.
