Interacts With [#interacts-with]

* `Harbor`, as the target registry for built platform images and artifacts.
* `Argo CD`, because manifests and release outputs produced upstream are consumed downstream by GitOps deployment.
* The full platform delivery chain, since GitLab is an upstream prerequisite before Runtime and application components can be deployed.
