Space Age GitOps: Lifting off with Argo Promotions (Live Demo!)
summary
A concrete GitOps promotion system that renders manifests, writes per-app proposed branches, and opens and auto-merges PRs to live environment branches, using Argo CD plus a new Source hydrator and an Argo Labs GitOps promoter CR. It keeps autosync on, never edits dry manifests, enforces a simple declarative promotionStrategy, and stores promotion history in Git. Demo shows PRs created, checks gating merges, and successful auto-merges and syncs despite minor demo hiccups; code is available but still early.
