+## CI follow-ups (sprint 1+) (`devops`)
+
+Raised by `code-reviewer` during review of `chore/podman-and-ci` (M2-M3 + N1-N6).
+None blocking, all deferred to sprint 1+.
+
+- [ ] M2 — `backend/Makefile` `$(COMPOSE)` detection: invert legacy `docker-compose` v1
+      probe, prefer the Compose v2 plugin (`$(CONTAINER) compose`) first.
+- [ ] M3 — `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` backend job: chain `apt-get update && apt-get install`
+      in one `RUN`-style step and drop `rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*` (no-op in an
+      ephemeral CI container).
+- [ ] N1 — Smoke workflow `cat /etc/os-release | head -3` → use `head -3 /etc/os-release`
+      (moot once smoke.yml is removed; track here in case smoke is reintroduced).
+- [ ] N2 — `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` `pull_request:` trigger: restrict to `branches: [main]`
+      to avoid double-running on PR retargets.
+- [ ] N3 — Anticipate single-runner serialization: jobs will queue. Plan a second
+      runner (different host or `capacity: >1`) before scaling sprint 2+ workload.
+- [ ] N4 — Add top-level `concurrency: { group: ${{ github.ref }}, cancel-in-progress: true }`
+      to cancel superseded PR runs.
+- [ ] N5 — CI uses `MIMIC_DATABASE_AUDIT_URL == MIMIC_DATABASE_URL` (same role).
+      Acceptable for unit tests; integration tests covering the audit write-only
+      role must provision a separate `mimic_audit_writer` role in the Postgres
+      service before they can run.
+- [ ] N6 — Cache pip + npm via `actions/cache@v4` (verify Gitea Actions fork support
+      before adoption; fallback to manual cache volume on the runner if unsupported).
+- [ ] FERNET-KEY — Provision `FERNET_KEY_TEST` Gitea repo secret before sprint 1
+      wires `c2_credential.config_fernet` (D-004). `config.py:32` accepts an empty
+      default at boot but `Fernet(b"")` raises `ValueError` at first use.
