Alchemy Continuous Integration Gate

Overview

Gate Alchemy integration changes with deterministic unit, contract, fork, secret, and negative-path checks. This workflow produces a reviewable artifact and negative-path evidence before any live side effect.

Prerequisites

• Current first-party Alchemy documentation for the selected product, chain, feature, client, authentication method, limit, and lifecycle.
• Named product, application, security, data/privacy, budget, release, and operations owners appropriate to the requested scope.
• Synthetic or approved non-production fixtures, a credential canary, explicit success criteria, and a tested rollback boundary.

Current Contract

CI should keep most provider behavior deterministic through fixtures and contract tests. A live read or pinned-chain fork is a separately labeled integration gate with a scoped non-production key, bounded usage, and an unavailable-provider policy. Pull-request testing never implies authorization to deploy or transact.

Authentication

Use a least-privilege CI environment secret with no write or wallet-signing authority. Prevent fork-origin workflows from receiving repository secrets and scan logs, artifacts, bundles, source maps, and built assets for canaries.
