[WE6.2.3] Create a new deployment UI

• Status: on track
• Progress update on the hypothesis for the week
  • Lifecycle stage: Development
  • Met with team members on Thursday to go over roadmap and next steps.
  • Work is starting on the refactoring of scap backport, the current command used to deploy most changes to MediaWiki production. We're considering a refactor part of this work since the new UI will use the same underlying logic (and, likely, the same command) to manage deployments.
  • Work to begin soon on planning user flow through the application and mapping edge-cases.
  • Next week, we'll investigate the design systems used by Toolhub to see if we can match the look and feel.
• Any new metrics related to the hypothesis
  • No
• Any emerging blockers or risks
  • No
• Any unresolved dependencies - do you depend on another team that hasn’t already given you what you need? Are you on the hook to give another team something you aren’t able to give right now?
  • No
• Have there been any new lessons from the hypothesis?
  • Learned about the work adding multi-factor authentication to IDP, our single sign-on system.
• Have there been any changes to the hypothesis scope or timeline?
  • No
