Amen. To put the first 3 points into different words: you should treat the CI only as a tool that manages the interface and provides interaction with the outside world (including injecting secrets/configuration, setting triggers, storing caches etc.) and helps to visualize things. Unfortunately, to do that, it puts constraints on how you can use it. Apart from that, no logic should live in the CI.
