Add a portable Lighthouse CI gate for production frontend builds with Core Web Vitals budgets, category floors, median runs, and CI artifacts.

When to use

• Use when adding a Lighthouse CI performance gate to a web app.
• Use when setting Core Web Vitals budgets for LCP, CLS, and TBT as the lab proxy for INP.
• Use when configuring category score floors for performance, SEO, accessibility, and best practices.
• Use when debugging flaky Lighthouse runs or making reports visible as CI artifacts.

When not to use

• Lighthouse CI is a lab signal and does not replace field monitoring from real-user metrics.
• Budgets must be tuned to the actual app route, hosting platform, and device/network assumptions.
• A passing Lighthouse gate does not prove business-critical flows, visual correctness, or backend availability.
