Explanation
In CI/CD, the pipeline is designed to fail fast: every test must pass for the pipeline to continue execution. This is a core procedural rule because the purpose of CI is to detect integration problems immediately. If any test fails, the pipeline halts and the team is notified, preventing broken code from progressing to later stages (build, deploy, release). Option A is incorrect because artifact generation is a step, not a universal procedural rule. Option C contradicts CI principles - allowing some tests to fail without stopping the pipeline undermines the goal of continuous quality assurance. Option D is incorrect because release labels/build identifiers are required for traceability and rollback capability in a proper CI/CD workflow.
