How would you implement conditional logic in a pipeline?
WHAT IT TESTS: Declarative stage gating without shell hacks. ANSWER OUTLINE: Use if conditions with contexts like github.ref, separate trigger filters from runtime conditions, and add env rules. RED FLAG: Shell if statements in a job, not native conditionals.
WHAT IT TESTS: Whether you can gate CI/CD stages using native declarative conditionals rather than fragile shell scripting. ANSWER OUTLINE: First, explain job-level if conditions using expression contexts such as github.ref or github.event_name; second, contrast trigger-level branch filters with runtime job conditions; third, mention environment protection rules and required reviewers as additional gates for production deploys.
