+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# =============================================================================
+# test-quickstarts.sh  –  Run the integration test suite for WildFly quickstarts.
+#
+# USAGE
+#   .ci/test-quickstarts.sh [OPTIONS]
+#
+# MODES
+#   (no flags)                    Test all testable quickstarts in alphabetical order.
+#   -q, --quickstart <name>       Test a single named quickstart.
+#   -r, --resume <name>           Test all quickstarts in alphabetical order, starting
+#                                 from <name> (inclusive). Useful after a local failure.
+#
+# OPTIONS
+#   --version-server <version>    Pass -Dversion.server=<version> to every Maven call.
+#                                 Combinable with -q or -r.
+#   -h, --help                    Print this help and exit.
+#
+# ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+#   VERSION_SERVER                Same as --version-server. CLI flag takes precedence.
+#
+# HOW IT WORKS
+#   A quickstart is testable if it has EITHER:
+#     - .ci/test-quickstart.env — common flow; file is sourced to read optional QS_* overrides.
+#     - .ci/test-quickstart.sh  — fully standalone script (e.g. ejb-txn-remote-call);
+#                                 executed directly with bash. No common flow is run.
+#
+#   Common flow (test-quickstart.env quickstarts):
+#     1. Sources <qs>/.ci/test-quickstart.env (with set -a) to load any QS_* overrides.
+#     2. Auto-detects QS_TEST_* flags not set explicitly (scans deployment pom.xml).
+#     3. Runs <qs>/.ci/before-test-quickstart.sh if present.
+#     4. Registers <qs>/.ci/after-test-quickstart.sh in a trap (runs even on failure).
+#     5. Executes the Maven test phases enabled by the QS_* flags.
+#
+# EXAMPLES
+#   .ci/test-quickstarts.sh
+#   .ci/test-quickstarts.sh -q helloworld
+#   .ci/test-quickstarts.sh -r kitchensink
+#   .ci/test-quickstarts.sh -q microprofile-health --version-server 36.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT
+#   .ci/test-quickstarts.sh -r microprofile-config --version-server 36.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT

+## Start with the wiki
+
+At the start of each task, check `_context/wiki/index.md` to decide
+whether wiki context is needed before acting. Don't read the wiki in
+full. Use the index and follow links only when they are relevant to
+the task.
+
+## Update the wiki
+
+After completing a task, offer to update the wiki if the task yielded durable knowledge that could benefit future work, then wait for user approval. This includes new processes, architecture decisions, or insights that go beyond the immediate task.

+- Any quickstart can be tested **locally** with a single command, with no knowledge of GitHub Actions.
+- The same scripts run identically in GitHub Actions — the workflow is a thin orchestration wrapper, not a test definition.
+- A **single GitHub workflow file** replaces ~55 per-quickstart workflow files and the old `project_ci.yml`.
+- WildFly is built **once** per PR run; the Maven repository is **cached and shared** across all matrix jobs.
+- Only quickstarts **affected by the PR** are tested in GitHub Actions; locally the user decides scope.
+- Each quickstart owns its test configuration or logic — no central registry to keep in sync.

+```
+
+A quickstart is **opted in to CI** if and only if it has a `<qs>/.ci/test-quickstart.env` or a `<qs>/.ci/test-quickstart.sh` file.
+Quickstarts without one of those files are ignored by both the project runner and the GitHub workflow.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Per-quickstart `.ci/` convention
+
+### 3.1 Files
+
+| File | Required | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `.ci/test-quickstart.env` | Yes for common quickstarts | Key=value file (no `export`, no shell logic) sourced by the project runner to load `QS_*` overrides. May be empty for quickstarts that use all defaults. |
+| `.ci/test-quickstart.sh` | Yes for non common quickstarts | Full self-contained test script (e.g. `ejb-txn-remote-call`). When present, the project runner executes it directly and skips the common flow entirely. |
+| `.ci/before-test-quickstart.sh` | No | Run before any Maven step. Used to start Docker services (Kafka, Postgres, Greenmail, Artemis). |
+| `.ci/after-test-quickstart.sh` | No | Run at exit, even on failure (via `trap`). Stops Docker services started by the before-script. |
+
+A quickstart is **testable** if it has either `.ci/test-quickstart.env` or `.ci/test-quickstart.sh`.
+Quickstarts that implement common flow use `.ci/test-quickstart.env` exclusively.
+Quickstarts with fully custom test logic use `.ci/test-quickstart.sh` exclusively.
+Having both in the same quickstart is not valid.
+
+### 3.2 `QS_*` metadata variables
+
+These are optionally set in `.ci/test-quickstart.env`.
+The project runner sources the file (with `set -a`) to load overrides into the current shell.
+The GitHub workflow setup job also sources the file in a subshell to read `QS_LINUX_ONLY`.
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `QS_TEST_PROVISIONED_SERVER` | auto-detected | `true` if `<QS_DEPLOYMENT_DIR>/pom.xml` contains a `provisioned-server` profile. Can be explicitly overridden to `false` to disable even when the profile exists. |
+| `QS_TEST_BOOTABLE_JAR` | auto-detected | `true` if `<QS_DEPLOYMENT_DIR>/pom.xml` contains a `bootable-jar` profile. Can be explicitly overridden to `false`. |
+| `QS_TEST_OPENSHIFT` | auto-detected | `true` if `<QS_DEPLOYMENT_DIR>/pom.xml` contains an `openshift` profile. Can be explicitly overridden to `false`. |
+| `QS_LINUX_ONLY` | `false` | Restrict GitHub matrix to `ubuntu-latest` only. Set `true` for quickstarts that require Docker or have known Windows issues. |
+| `QS_MVN_COMMAND` | `package` | Maven lifecycle goal. EAR-based quickstarts need `install`. |
+| `QS_DEPLOYMENT_DIR` | `.` | Path to the sub-module containing the deployable artifact, relative to the quickstart root (e.g. `ear`, `webapp`). Also the pom.xml scanned for profile auto-detection. |
+| `QS_EXTRA_RUN_ARGS` | _(empty)_ | Extra `-D` arguments forwarded to `wildfly:start` / `wildfly:start-jar`. |
+
+**Profile auto-detection** is performed by the project runner (not the per-quickstart `.ci/test-quickstart.env`).
+When `QS_TEST_*` is not set in `test-quickstart.env`, the runner scans
+`<qs>/<QS_DEPLOYMENT_DIR>/pom.xml` for the presence of the relevant `<profile><id>` element.
+A value in `test-quickstart.env` always takes precedence over auto-detection.
+
+### 3.3 Common-case template
+
+A quickstart that uses all defaults has an empty `test-quickstart.env`:
+
+```
+# helloworld/.ci/test-quickstart.env
+# (empty — all QS_* variables use their defaults)
+```
+
+### 3.4 Linux-only testing (docker run)
+
+```
+# microprofile-reactive-messaging-kafka/.ci/test-quickstart.env
+QS_LINUX_ONLY=true
+```
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# microprofile-reactive-messaging-kafka/.ci/before-test-quickstart.sh
+docker run --rm -d --name "microprofile-reactive-messaging-kafka-kafka" -p 9092:9092 -e KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9092 quay.io/ogunalp/kafka-native:0.5.0-kafka-3.6.0
+```
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# microprofile-reactive-messaging-kafka/.ci/after-test-quickstart.sh
+docker stop microprofile-reactive-messaging-kafka-kafka
+```
+
+### 3.5 Custom Maven build command
+
+```
+# ejb-throws-exception/.ci/test-quickstart.env
+QS_MVN_COMMAND=install
+QS_DEPLOYMENT_DIR=ear
+```
+
+### 3.6 Disabling a detected profile
+
+```
+# <quickstart>/.ci/test-quickstart.env
+# provisioned-server and/or openshift profiles exist in pom.xml but are not functional
+QS_TEST_PROVISIONED_SERVER=false
+QS_TEST_OPENSHIFT=false
+```
+
+### 3.7 docker compose before/after pattern
+
+Quickstarts that use `docker-compose.yml` in their root (e.g. `micrometer`, `opentelemetry-tracing`, `mail`) use the simplest possible before/after scripts:
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# <quickstart>/.ci/before-test-quickstart.sh
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# <quickstart>/.ci/after-test-quickstart.sh
+docker compose down
+```
+
+The before-script runs from the quickstart directory (the runner `cd`s there before calling it), so `docker compose` picks up the `docker-compose.yml` at the root automatically.
+
+### 3.8 Fully standalone (ejb-txn-remote-call)
+
+This quickstart starts **three separate WildFly instances** and cannot use the generic provisioned-server flow. It has a `.ci/test-quickstart.sh` (no `.ci/test-quickstart.env`) which the project runner executes directly. It has its own before/after scripts for the Postgres database it requires:
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# ejb-txn-remote-call/.ci/before-test-quickstart.sh
+docker run -d --rm --name "ejb-txn-remote-call-db" -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_DB=test -e POSTGRES_USER=test -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=test postgres:9.4 -c max-prepared-transactions=110 -c log-statement=all
+```
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# ejb-txn-remote-call/.ci/after-test-quickstart.sh
+docker stop ejb-txn-remote-call-db
+```
+
+The standalone `test-quickstart.sh` calls these scripts directly (they are not invoked by the project runner for this quickstart).
+
+> **Rule for standalone scripts:** `QS_LINUX_ONLY` **must be declared as a bare `export` statement
+> at the very top** of the standalone script, before `set -euo pipefail` or any executable code.
+> The GitHub matrix setup job reads this value with `grep -q "^export QS_LINUX_ONLY=true"` —
+> sourcing the script is unsafe because it runs real server/Docker commands.
+>
+> ```bash
+> #!/usr/bin/env bash
+> export QS_LINUX_ONLY=true   # ← must be line 1 (after shebang), before set -euo pipefail
+> set -euo pipefail
+> ...
+> ```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Project runner — `.ci/test-quickstarts.sh`
+
+### 4.1 Modes of operation
+
+| Invocation | Behaviour |
+|---|---|
+| `.ci/test-quickstarts.sh` | Discover all testable quickstarts (have `.ci/test-quickstart.env` or `.ci/test-quickstart.sh`) and run each in alphabetical order. |
+| `.ci/test-quickstarts.sh -q <name>` | Run a single named quickstart. This is the recommended way to test any quickstart. |
+| `.ci/test-quickstarts.sh -r <name>` | Resume: run all testable quickstarts in alphabetical order, starting from `<name>` (inclusive). Useful for continuing a local run after a failure without re-testing quickstarts that already passed. |
+| `.ci/test-quickstarts.sh --version-server <ver>` | Override `version.server` Maven property (WildFly snapshot builds). Combinable with `-q` or `-r`. |
+
+When invoked without `-q` or `-r`, the project runner discovers all testable quickstarts by
+globbing both `*/.ci/test-quickstart.env` and `*/.ci/test-quickstart.sh` from the repo root, deduplicating,
+and running each in alphabetical order. The `-r` flag skips all quickstarts that sort before
+`<name>` in that same order.
+
+### 4.2 Profile auto-detection
+
+When `QS_TEST_PROVISIONED_SERVER`, `QS_TEST_BOOTABLE_JAR`, or `QS_TEST_OPENSHIFT` are not
+set by the per-quickstart script, the runner scans `<qs>/<QS_DEPLOYMENT_DIR>/pom.xml`:
+
+```bash
+has_profile() {
+  local pom="$1" profile_id="$2"
+  grep -q "<id>${profile_id}</id>" "${pom}"
+}
+```
+
+Values set in `.ci/test-quickstart.env` always override auto-detection.
+
+### 4.3 Single-quickstart execution flow
+
+```
+1. cd <qs>/
+2. If .ci/test-quickstart.sh exists → execute it with bash and return (standalone path)
+3. Source <qs>/.ci/test-quickstart.env (set -a) → load any QS_* overrides
+4. Auto-detect any QS_TEST_* not explicitly set (scan deployment pom.xml)
+5. If .ci/before-test-quickstart.sh exists → run it
+6. Register .ci/after-test-quickstart.sh in trap EXIT (runs even on failure);
+   cleanup also restores cwd to REPO_ROOT
+7. mvn -fae clean ${QS_MVN_COMMAND} -Drelease [version.server]
+8. If QS_TEST_PROVISIONED_SERVER=true:
+     optional: ${QS_DEPLOYMENT_DIR}/target/server/bin/add-user.sh (if present)
+     wildfly:start → mvn verify -Pintegration-testing → wildfly:shutdown
+9. If QS_TEST_BOOTABLE_JAR=true:
+     wildfly:start-jar → mvn verify -Pintegration-testing → wildfly:shutdown
+10. If QS_TEST_OPENSHIFT=true:
+     mvn -fae clean ${QS_MVN_COMMAND} -Popenshift [version.server]
+11. Remove trap, run cleanup explicitly (after-script + cd REPO_ROOT)
+```
+
+Note: the `cd <qs>/` happens first (step 1), before sourcing `test-quickstart.env`. This means the
+before-script path is resolved as `./.ci/before-test-quickstart.sh` (relative), and
+`docker compose` in before/after scripts correctly picks up the quickstart's own
+`docker-compose.yml`.
+
+### 4.4 Changed-only detection
+
+The project runner does **not** implement changed-only detection.
+That logic lives exclusively in the GitHub workflow's setup job (§5.3).
+Locally, the user runs either all quickstarts or a single one via `.ci/test-quickstarts.sh -q <name>`.

+### 5.3 Setup job — changed-quickstart detection

+
+**Shared infrastructure directories** — when any file under these paths changes,
+all testable quickstarts are run:
+
+```
+shared-doc/

+.github/workflows/quickstart_ci.yml

+### 5.4 WildFly-build job
+
+```yaml
+WildFly-build:
+  uses: wildfly/wildfly/.github/workflows/shared-wildfly-build.yml@main
+  with:
+    wildfly-branch: ${{ github.base_ref }}
+    wildfly-repo: "wildfly/wildfly"
+  # Behaviour when the branch does not exist in wildfly/wildfly:
+  # the reusable workflow silently skips — the job is reported as skipped,
+  # not failed. Downstream jobs that `needs: WildFly-build` still run;
+  # the `wildfly-version` output is empty.
+```
+
+Every PR targeting **any** branch triggers this job. The two test legs are:
+
+- **Default** (always runs): no `VERSION_SERVER` → each quickstart tests against the released version.
+- **With-deps** (conditional): only runs if `wildfly-version` output is non-empty, i.e. the branch exists in `wildfly/wildfly`. Tests run with `-Dversion.server=<snapshot>`.
+
+### 5.5 Setup job matrix outputs
+
+The Setup job emits **two separate matrix outputs** — one per leg — both as JSON arrays of
+`(qs, os, jdk)` triples. The with-deps matrix is an empty array `[]` when `WildFly-build`
+did not produce a version.

+
+## 6. Matrix construction
+
+### 6.1 Flat triple approach
+
+The setup job emits **two separate** JSON arrays of `(quickstart, os, jdk)` triples —
+one per leg — consumed by `Quickstart-default` and `Quickstart-with-deps` respectively. Each combination
+becomes an independent job on the correct runner OS. Each matrix stays within the 256-job limit.
+
+| Quickstart | QS_LINUX_ONLY | Quickstart-default jobs (2 JDKs) | Quickstart-with-deps jobs (when branch exists) |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| helloworld | false | ubuntu/17, ubuntu/25, windows/17, windows/25 → **4** | same → **4** |
+| microprofile-reactive-messaging-kafka | true | ubuntu/17, ubuntu/25 → **2** | same → **2** |
+| micrometer | false | ubuntu/17, ubuntu/25, windows/17, windows/25 → **4** | same → **4** |
+| opentelemetry-tracing | false | ubuntu/17, ubuntu/25, windows/17, windows/25 → **4** | same → **4** |
+| mail | true | ubuntu/17, ubuntu/25 → **2** | same → **2** |
+| todo-backend | true | ubuntu/17, ubuntu/25 → **2** | same → **2** |
+| ejb-txn-remote-call | true | ubuntu/17, ubuntu/25 → **2** | same → **2** |
+
+Maximum per matrix when all ~55 quickstarts are in scope:
+55 × 2 JDKs × ~1.5 avg OS ≈ **165 jobs** per matrix — well within the 256-job limit.
+
+### 6.2 Default and with-deps legs
+
+The two legs run as separate jobs in the same workflow run:
+
+- **`Quickstart-default`** — always runs when the matrix is non-empty; no `VERSION_SERVER`.
+- **`Quickstart-with-deps`** — only runs when `WildFly-build` produced a `wildfly-version` output; `VERSION_SERVER` set to that version. Skipped entirely when the branch does not exist in `wildfly/wildfly`.
+
+Both jobs share the same step structure; `Quickstart-default` sets no `VERSION_SERVER` and skips the
+Maven repository download, while `Quickstart-with-deps` always sets `VERSION_SERVER` and always
+downloads the repository (it only runs when the artifact exists).
+
+The `Project-default` and `Project-with-deps` jobs follow the same default/with-deps split but
+run a full `mvn clean install -Drelease` across the whole project tree, skipping
+`-P-provisioned-server,-bootable-jar` (those profiles are exercised per-quickstart by the
+Quickstart-* jobs).
+
+---
+
+## 7. Resource sharing strategy
+
+| Resource | How shared |
+|---|---|
+| WildFly build | Single `WildFly-build` job; `wildfly-version` output consumed by all with-deps jobs via `needs.` expression. Maven repo tarball downloaded per Test job via `actions/download-artifact`. |
+| Maven repository cache | `actions/setup-java` with `cache: maven` — keyed on `pom.xml` hash, shared across all matrix jobs on the same OS. Significantly reduces download time for the WildFly dependency set. |
+| Checkout | Each job checks out the repo independently (required for parallel runners). |
+| Surefire reports | Uploaded per failing job with a name scoped to avoid artifact name collisions. |
+
+---
+
+## 8. Migration map
+
+| Current | Action | Replacement |
+|---|---|---|
+| `.ci/test-quickstart.sh` (project runner) | **renamed** | `.ci/test-quickstarts.sh` |
+| `.github/workflows/quickstart_ci.yml` | **rewritten** | Single workflow as described in §5 |
+| `.github/workflows/project_ci.yml` | **deleted** | `Project-default` / `Project-with-deps` jobs in `quickstart_ci.yml` |
+| `.github/workflows/quickstart_<qs>_ci.yml` (~55 files) | **deleted** | Per-quickstart `<qs>/.ci/test-quickstart.env` or `<qs>/.ci/test-quickstart.sh` |
+| `.github/workflows/quickstart_<qs>_ci_before.sh` | **deleted** | `<qs>/.ci/before-test-quickstart.sh` + `<qs>/.ci/after-test-quickstart.sh` |
+| `ejb-txn-remote-call` inline workflow logic | **migrated** | `ejb-txn-remote-call/.ci/test-quickstart.sh` (standalone) + separate before/after scripts |
+| `.github/workflows/kubernetes-ci.yml` | **updated** | Opt-in check replaced: presence of `<qs>/.ci/test-quickstart.env` or `<qs>/.ci/test-quickstart.sh` instead of `quickstart_${qs}_ci.yml` |
+
+### 8.1 Before/after-script migration
+
+All before-scripts now have a matching after-script that tears down what was started.
+
+| Quickstart | before-test-quickstart.sh | after-test-quickstart.sh |
+|---|---|---|
+| `microprofile-reactive-messaging-kafka` | starts Kafka container (`docker run`) | `docker stop microprofile-reactive-messaging-kafka-kafka` |
+| `micrometer` | `docker compose up -d` | `docker compose down` |
+| `opentelemetry-tracing` | `docker compose up -d` | `docker compose down` |
+| `mail` | `docker compose up -d` (Greenmail) | `docker compose down` |
+| `remote-helloworld-mdb` | starts Artemis container (`docker run`) | `docker stop artemis` |
+| `todo-backend` | starts Postgres container (`docker run`) | `docker stop todo-backend-db` |
+| `ejb-txn-remote-call` | starts Postgres container (`docker run`) | `docker stop ejb-txn-remote-call-db` |
+

+## 9. Files kept unchanged
+
+The following GitHub workflow files are **out of scope** and are not touched:
+
+- `.github/workflows/publish-pages.yml`
+- `.github/workflows/reduce_readme.yml`
+
+`.github/workflows/kubernetes-ci.yml` was updated as part of this redesign — see §8.

+## Quick orientation
+
+- **Repo**: WildFly Quickstarts — ~60 Jakarta EE / MicroProfile reference examples for the WildFly application server.
+- **Project lead**: Responsible for maintenance, cross-cutting enhancements, and coordinating with per-quickstart owners.
+- **Active priorities**: Modernisation, OpenShift/Kubernetes compatibility, integration tests, documentation.
+- **Key rule**: Always check existing quickstart patterns before suggesting changes; prefer solutions applicable across multiple quickstarts.

+# Working Preferences
+
+## AI Collaboration style
+
+- **Always check existing patterns first** — Before suggesting any change, examine how similar quickstarts or shared components already handle the problem. Read the relevant `README-source.adoc`, `pom.xml`, and source files in comparable quickstarts.
+- **Prefer cross-cutting solutions** — Favour approaches that can be applied consistently across multiple quickstarts over one-off fixes. If a change only makes sense for one quickstart, call that out explicitly.
+- **Evolve patterns thoughtfully** — Existing patterns can and should be improved, but deviations must be deliberate and justified. Flag when a suggestion diverges from the current norm.
+- **Be proactive** — Raise potential issues, inconsistencies, or improvement opportunities even when not explicitly asked. This includes security concerns, outdated dependencies, documentation gaps, and compatibility issues.
+- **Draft PRs automatically** — After completing a code or documentation change, produce a pull request description draft without waiting to be asked.
+- **Detailed explanations** — Provide thorough context for recommendations: why a pattern was chosen, what alternatives were considered, and how the change relates to the broader project goals.
+
+## Code and documentation standards
+
+- Follow the AsciiDoc conventions established in `shared-doc/` and existing `README-source.adoc` files.
+- Ignore README.adoc files, those are flat - no includes - versions of README-source.adoc, which are properly rendered on GitHub, and are automatically rebuilt when README-source.adoc changes are pushed/merged.
+- Use attribute substitution (`{productName}`, `{javaVersion}`, etc.) consistently — never hardcode values that are defined as attributes.
+- Maven changes should align on all Quickstarts, preferably using dependencies managed by WildFly BOMs.
+- Integration tests should use patterns already established in the repo (Arquillian, etc.) and be structured for reuse across quickstarts where possible.
+- OpenShift compatibility changes should be validated against the existing compatible quickstarts as reference implementations.
+
+## Communication preferences
+
+- **Conciseness in summaries, detail in explanations** — Short summary up front, full reasoning below. Don't pad responses but don't omit rationale either.
+- **Structured output** — Use tables, lists, and headers to organise complex information (e.g. comparing options, listing affected quickstarts).
+- **Flag scope** — Always note when a change affects only one quickstart vs. multiple vs. the whole repo.
+- **Ownership awareness** — When a change touches a quickstart owned by someone other than the project lead, flag this and suggest coordination steps.
+
+## Workflow preferences
+
+- Check `CODEOWNERS` and the quickstart's `README-source.adoc` to identify the right owner before proposing changes that belong to a specific quickstart team.
+- When modernising, compare against the latest WildFly and Jakarta EE/MicroProfile spec versions — don't assume the existing code is current.
+- For documentation changes, verify that shared fragments in `shared-doc/` aren't a better place for the content than inline in a specific quickstart.
+- Prefer batch improvements: if fixing a pattern in one quickstart, identify all other quickstarts with the same issue and address them together.
+
+## GitHub Actions canonical versions
+
+Always prefer the versions used in existent `.github/workflows/` files. Align any new or updated workflow to these before committing.

+# Project Overview
+
+## What this project is
+
+The **WildFly Quickstarts** repository is the official collection of ~60 reference applications demonstrating Jakarta EE and MicroProfile technologies running on the [WildFly application server](https://www.wildfly.org/). Each quickstart is a small, focused, working example that developers can use as a starting point or reference for their own projects.
+
+The quickstarts cover a wide range of technologies: CDI, EJB, JPA, JSF, Jakarta REST, JMS, Security (Elytron), MicroProfile (Config, Health, Fault Tolerance, JWT, LRA, OpenAPI, Reactive Messaging, REST Client), OpenTelemetry, Micrometer, WebSockets, and more.
+
+## Goals and priorities
+
+1. **Modernisation** — Keep quickstarts aligned with the latest Jakarta EE and MicroProfile specifications and WildFly releases.
+2. **OpenShift / Kubernetes compatibility** — Ensure quickstarts marked as OpenShift-compatible work reliably on container platforms; expand compatibility where feasible.
+3. **Integration tests** — Improve test coverage and reliability across quickstarts.
+4. **Documentation** — Improve clarity, completeness, and consistency of `README-source.adoc` files across all quickstarts.
+5. **Cross-cutting improvements** — Prefer enhancements that can be applied uniformly to multiple quickstarts over one-off fixes.
+
+## Ownership model
+
+- **Project lead** owns the overall repository: maintenance, release procedures, cross-cutting enhancements, and coordination.
+- **Each quickstart has an owner** — typically the team responsible for the main WildFly component the quickstart targets. Owners are identified in the quickstart's own `README-source.adoc`.
+- Cross-cutting changes (shared docs, parent POM, CI, build tooling) are the project lead's direct responsibility.
+
+## Repository structure
+
+| Path | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `<quickstart-name>/` | Each quickstart lives in its own top-level folder |
+| `shared-doc/` | Shared AsciiDoc fragments included by quickstart READMEs |
+| `pom.xml` | Parent Maven POM; defines common dependency management |
+| `README-source.adoc` | Master README with the full quickstart table |
+| `CODEOWNERS` | GitHub CODEOWNERS for per-quickstart ownership |
+| `CONTRIBUTING.adoc` | Contribution guidelines |
+| `RELEASE_PROCEDURE.adoc` | Release process documentation |
+| `.github/` | CI workflows (GitHub Actions) |
+| `.ci/` | Local CI scripts and configuration |
+| `guide/` | Extended guide documentation |
+
+## Key workflows
+
+- **Adding a quickstart**: Create a new top-level folder, add `README-source.adoc`, wire into the parent `pom.xml`, and update `CODEOWNERS`. Maven profiles and sahred-docs includes should be reused. At least a basic integration test should be included, activated by Maven profile named "integration-testing"
+- **Updating shared content**: Edit files under `shared-doc/` — changes propagate to all quickstarts that include those fragments.
+- **Generating READMEs**: `README.adoc` / `README.html` files are generated from `README-source.adoc` using the Asciidoctor toolchain with attribute substitution, same for the `Table of Available Quickstarts` in the root `README`.
+- **CI**: GitHub Actions runs builds and tests; OpenShift-compatible quickstarts are also tested on OpenShift.
+- **Releases**: Follow `RELEASE_PROCEDURE.adoc`.
+
+## OpenShift compatibility
+
+Quickstarts flagged `Yes` in the *Openshift Compatible* column of the main table are expected to deploy and run on OpenShift without modification. Expanding this flag is an active goal.
