Create a test branch in collection-task to validate integration with digital-land-python

[mattsan-dev]

Overview
We want to confirm that collection-task can successfully run its pipeline using code from an active development branch in digital-land-python. Creating a test branch in collection-task allows us to trial this behaviour without affecting the main CI/CD flow.

Tech Approach

• Create a new temporary branch in collection-task, for example integration-testing.
• Update this branch so that it explicitly pulls or references the development branch from digital-land-python.
• Trigger the CI/CD pipeline for this branch to confirm that it can use the updated Python package or code.
• Make minimal changes, only what is necessary to test the integration behaviour.
• Delete the branch once testing is complete.

Acceptance Criteria/Tests

• integration-testing branch exists in collection-task.
• The branch’s pipeline successfully accesses and uses the development branch from digital-land-python.
• CI runs and completes as expected, with full visibility of any failures.
• No deployments or production‑facing steps are triggered.
• A clear outcome is recorded on whether the method works.

Resourcing & Dependencies

• Requires access to create a branch in collection-task and adjust the pipeline reference.
• No dependency on other teams.
• Only minimal knowledge of the CI configuration is required.
