+# GraphHopper Build Pipeline Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+The GraphHopper build pipeline (`build.yml`) is a GitHub Actions workflow that automates building, testing, and deploying the GraphHopper routing engine to Azure DevOps. The pipeline runs on every push to the repository.
+
+## Pipeline Structure
+
+### Job 1: Build and Test
+**Trigger:** Every push to any branch
+
+This job builds and tests the GraphHopper project across multiple Java versions to ensure compatibility.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. **Checkout code** - Retrieves the repository code
+2. **Setup Java** - Configures Java using the Temurin distribution
+   - Tested versions: Java 25 and Java 26-ea (early access)
+   - Uses a matrix strategy to test both versions in parallel
+3. **Cache Maven artifacts** - Caches `~/.m2/repository` to speed up builds
+4. **Cache node** - Caches `web-bundle/node` directory
+5. **Cache node_modules** - Caches `web-bundle/node_modules` directory
+6. **Build and Test** - Runs `mvn -B clean test`
+
+### Job 2: Push to Azure DevOps
+**Trigger:** Only runs on successful build when pushing to the `master` branch
+
+This job packages the GraphHopper JAR file and pushes it to the Azure DevOps repository for deployment.
+
+**Configuration Variables:**
+- `AZURE_ORG`: trihydro
+- `AZURE_PROJECT`: SDX
+- `AZURE_REPO`: graphhopper
+- `JAVA_VERSION`: 25
+
+**Steps:**
+1. **Checkout code** - Retrieves the repository code
+2. **Package JAR** - Runs `mvn -B package -DskipTests` to create the JAR file
+3. **Get JAR info** - Extracts JAR filename and creates a timestamp
+4. **Clone Azure DevOps Repository** - Clones the Azure repo using PAT authentication
+5. **Commit and push JAR** - Creates a new branch, backs up old JAR, commits new JAR
+6. **Create Pull Request** - Creates PR in Azure DevOps with designated reviewers
+
+## Required Secrets
+
+The following GitHub repository secrets must be configured for the pipeline to work:
+
+### `AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT`
+**Type:** Personal Access Token  
+**Purpose:** Authenticates GitHub Actions with Azure DevOps  
+**Permissions Required:**
+- Code: Read & Write
+
+**How to Update:**
+1. Go to Azure DevOps → User Settings → Personal Access Tokens
+2. Create a new token or regenerate existing one with the required permissions
+3. Copy the token value
+4. Go to GitHub repository → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
+5. Update or create `AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT` secret with the new token value
+
+### `AZURE_GH_REPO_ID`
+**Type:** Repository GUID  
+**Purpose:** Identifies the Azure DevOps repository for API calls
+
+**How to Find:**
+1. Run command: `az repos list --organization "https://dev.azure.com/trihydro" --project "SDX" --query "[?name == 'graphhopper'].id" --output tsv`
+
+### `TEAGHEN_DEVOPS_USER_ID` & `CHAN_DEVOPS_USER_ID`
+**Type:** User GUID  
+**Purpose:** Adds Teaghen and Chan as a PR reviewer automatically
+
+**How to Find/Update:**
+1. Make API call to: https://vssps.dev.azure.com/trihydro/_apis/graph/users?api-version=7.1-preview.1
+   1. Authorization header: Basic `<AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT>`
+   2. Content-Type header: application/json
+2. Update the GitHub secret with the originId value.
+
+## Maintenance Guide
+
+### Updating Java Versions
+To test against different Java versions:
+1. Edit `.github/workflows/build.yml`
+2. Modify the `matrix.java-version` array (currently `[25, 26-ea]`)
+3. Update the `JAVA_VERSION` environment variable in the `push-to-azure` job if changing the deployment version
+
+### Updating Azure DevOps Configuration
+To change the target Azure DevOps organization, project, or repository:
+1. Edit `.github/workflows/build.yml`
+2. Update the environment variables in the `push-to-azure` job:
+   - `AZURE_ORG`
+   - `AZURE_PROJECT`
+   - `AZURE_REPO`
+
+### Adding/Removing Reviewers
+To modify automatic PR reviewers:
+1. Add the new reviewer user ID secrets in GitHub repository settings
+2. Edit the `Create Pull Request in Azure DevOps` step in `build.yml`
+3. Add/remove reviewer objects in the `reviewers` array of the PR payload
+
+### Monitoring Secrets Expiration
+**Recommended Schedule:**
+- Azure DevOps PATs typically expire after 90 days depending on configuration
+- Set up calendar reminders 2 weeks before known expiration dates
+
+### Troubleshooting Common Issues
+
+**Build fails but tests pass locally:**
+- Check Java version compatibility (pipeline uses Java 25/26)
+- Clear Maven cache by removing the cache action temporarily
+
+**Azure push fails with an authentication error:**
+- `AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT` has likely expired - regenerate it
+- Verify the PAT has Code and Pull Request permissions
+
+**Pull Request creation fails:**
+- Verify `AZURE_GH_REPO_ID` is correct
+- Check that reviewer IDs are valid and users have access to the repository
+- Ensure the target branch (master) exists in Azure DevOps repo
