+# DRAFT — test trigger for the aap-component-ui-tests pipeline (component = controller).
+# Put this on your PR branch. PaC reads .tekton from the PR head, so it takes effect
+# on the PR you open. It uses the GIT RESOLVER against the development/ overlay of the
+# pipeline (no published bundle needed) — see aap-konflux-pipelines CONTRIBUTING "End-to-end
+# while iterating". After testing, the production version switches pipelineRef to resolver:
+# bundles once the pipeline is merged + bundled.
+#
+# >>> SET THE 3 PLACEHOLDERS MARKED  # <<< SET  (where you pushed the pipeline branch + a
+#     token secret in ansible-ci-tenant that can read that repo).
