What Changed

• Removed .github/.env.base file containing 550+ lines of base configuration defaults for GoFortress CI/CD workflows
• Deleted .github/.yamlfmt YAML formatting configuration file
• Removed .github/CODEOWNERS file for code ownership definitions
• Deleted composite actions: load-env and download-artifact-resilient from .github/actions/
• Removed documentation files: repository-features.md and workflows.md from .github/docs/
• Deleted environment configuration files: 10-mage-x.env, 10-pre-commit.env, and 10-coverage.env from .github/env/
• Removed technical convention documentation: commit-branch-conventions.md and pre-commit.md from .github/tech-conventions/
• Deleted 13 GitHub workflow files including fortress workflows (fortress-completion-tests.yml, fortress-coverage.yml, fortress-setup-config.yml, fortress-test-magex.yml, fortress-warm-cache.yml, fortress.yml), automation workflows (dependabot-auto-merge.yml, auto-merge-on-approval.yml, pull-request-management.yml, pull-request-management-fork.yml), and analysis workflows (codeql-analysis.yml, scorecard.yml, stale-check.yml, sync-labels.yml)

Why It Was Necessary

• Removing the GoFortress CI/CD infrastructure and associated tooling configuration from the repository
• Simplifying the GitHub Actions workflow structure by eliminating fortress-specific testing and coverage pipelines
• Cleaning up automation and security scanning workflows that are no longer needed for the project's current direction

Testing Performed

• Verified that all 26 files are being completely removed with no replacement files added
• Confirmed that the deletions are intentional removals of the entire GoFortress configuration system
• Validated that no partial configurations remain that would reference the deleted files

Impact / Risk

• Breaking Change: All GoFortress CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, coverage reporting, and code analysis workflows will be removed
• Risk: High - projects depending on these workflows will lose all automated testing, security scanning, PR management, and code quality checks until alternative solutions are implemented
• Migration Required: Teams must implement replacement CI/CD workflows, testing infrastructure, and automation independently
