+## Context
+
+The mock OCI registry (`cmd/mock-oci-registry/main.go`) seeds test
+content for integration testing. It currently seeds the ampel complypack
+(`complypacks/ampel-bp`) with a dummy payload via `buildDummyTarGz()`:
+
+```go
+content: buildDummyTarGz("policy.json",
+    []byte(`{"name":"ampel-branch-protection","version":"1.0.0"}`))
+```
+
+This dummy JSON lacks the `id` field that `LoadGranularPolicies()`
+requires. The OPA complypack was already migrated to the
+`buildTarGzFromFS()` pattern in commit `74fbae8`, where real policy
+files are embedded from `testdata/opa-complypack/` via `//go:embed`.
+
+The cross-repo integration test script (`cross_repo_integration_test.sh`)
+currently works around the dummy content by manually copying
+`block-force-push.json` into the workspace default directory. With the
+ampel provider now consuming `ComplypackContentPath`, this workaround
+is insufficient — the complypack content takes precedence.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Seed the ampel complypack with valid granular policy content that the
+  provider accepts
+- Follow the established OPA complypack pattern (embed + `buildTarGzFromFS`)
+- Remove the manual granular policy pre-staging from the integration test
+- Maintain backward compatibility with the pre-PR#52 ampel provider
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Adding new ampel policies or expanding test coverage beyond what exists
+- Modifying the ampel provider code (that is `complytime-providers` PR #52)
+- Changing the complypack OCI artifact format or media types
+- Adding OPA-side changes (already handled by `opa-devcontainer-content`)
+
+## Decisions
+
+### D1: Reuse existing `block-force-push.json` content
+
+**Decision**: Copy the content from
+`tests/cross-repo/testdata/granular-policies/block-force-push.json`
+into `cmd/mock-oci-registry/testdata/ampel-complypack/block-force-push.json`.
+
+**Rationale**: This is the same fixture the integration test already
+validates against. Using identical content ensures the test assertions
+(e.g., checking for `block-force-push` policy ID in results) continue
+to pass without modification.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- Create minimal stub content: Rejected — would require updating test
+  assertions and diverges from the real policy format the test validates.
+
+### D2: Remove pre-staged granular policies from integration test
+
+**Decision**: Remove the `mkdir -p` and `cp` lines that pre-stage
+`block-force-push.json` into `.complytime/ampel/granular-policies/` in
+`cross_repo_integration_test.sh`.
+
+**Rationale**: With `ComplypackContentPath` taking precedence in PR #52's
+provider, the pre-staged directory is never consulted. Keeping it creates
+a false safety net — the test would pass even if complypack delivery
+broke, defeating the purpose of the integration test.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- Keep pre-staged content as fallback: Rejected — masks complypack
+  delivery failures and makes the test less meaningful.
+
+### D3: Add `//go:embed` directive alongside the existing OPA one
+
+**Decision**: Add a new `//go:embed testdata/ampel-complypack/*` var
+declaration directly below the existing OPA embed directive.
+
+**Rationale**: Follows the established pattern. Each complypack provider
+gets its own embedded filesystem variable and testdata subdirectory.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **[Risk] Merge ordering**: If this PR merges before
+  `complytime-providers` PR #52, the cross-repo CI will build the old
+  ampel provider from `main`, which ignores `ComplypackContentPath`
+  and falls back to the default directory. Since we're removing the
+  pre-staged content, the test would fail.
+  → **Mitigation**: Keep the pre-staged content removal as a separate,
+  final task. If needed, split the change: merge the complypack content
+  seeding first (backward-compatible), then remove pre-staging after
+  PR #52 lands on `complytime-providers` main.
+
+- **[Risk] Content drift**: The embedded `block-force-push.json` could
+  diverge from the provider's expected format over time.
+  → **Mitigation**: This is test content for integration validation —
+  if the format changes, the integration test will catch it (by design).

+## Why
+
+The mock OCI registry seeds the `complypacks/ampel-bp` artifact with a
+dummy `policy.json` containing `{"name":"...","version":"..."}` — a
+placeholder that lacks the `id` field required by the ampel provider's
+`LoadGranularPolicies()`. Before `complytime-providers` PR #52, the ampel
+provider ignored `ComplypackContentPath` and fell back to pre-staged
+granular policies, so the dummy content was never parsed. Now that the
+provider consumes complypack content, the cross-repo integration test
+fails because the dummy payload is rejected. This change replaces the
+dummy content with a valid ampel granular policy, mirroring the pattern
+already established for the OPA complypack (commit `74fbae8`).
+
+## What Changes
+
+- Replace the dummy `buildDummyTarGz("policy.json", ...)` call in
+  `seedDefaults()` with `buildTarGzFromFS()` using embedded ampel
+  complypack test content
+- Add `testdata/ampel-complypack/block-force-push.json` containing a
+  valid `AmpelPolicy` structure (matching the existing cross-repo test
+  fixture at `tests/cross-repo/testdata/granular-policies/`)
+- Add `//go:embed testdata/ampel-complypack/*` directive to embed the
+  ampel complypack content
+- Update `TestSeedDefaults_AllReposSeeded` to verify the ampel
+  complypack contains the expected file count and content structure
+- Remove the now-unused `block-force-push.json` from
+  `tests/cross-repo/testdata/granular-policies/` and the corresponding
+  `cp` / `mkdir` lines from `cross_repo_integration_test.sh`, since
+  the provider will consume complypack content directly instead of the
+  pre-staged fallback directory
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+- `ampel-complypack-seed`: Embedded ampel complypack test content in the
+  mock OCI registry, producing a valid tar.gz payload that the ampel
+  provider's `LoadGranularPolicies()` accepts
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+
+## Impact
+
+- `cmd/mock-oci-registry/main.go`: New embed directive, updated
+  `seedDefaults()` call for `complypacks/ampel-bp`
+- `cmd/mock-oci-registry/testdata/ampel-complypack/`: New directory with
+  valid granular policy JSON
+- `cmd/mock-oci-registry/main_test.go`: Updated test assertions for
+  ampel complypack content
+- `tests/cross-repo/testdata/granular-policies/`: Removed (content
+  migrated to embedded complypack)
+- `tests/cross-repo/cross_repo_integration_test.sh`: Simplified setup
+  (no manual granular policy staging)
+- Backward-compatible: the old ampel provider ignores
+  `ComplypackContentPath` and is unaffected by serving valid content

+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: Valid ampel complypack content in mock registry
+The mock OCI registry SHALL seed the `complypacks/ampel-bp` artifact
+with a tar.gz payload containing valid ampel granular policy JSON that
+the ampel provider's `LoadGranularPolicies()` accepts without error.
+Each embedded JSON file SHALL contain an `id` field, a `meta` object
+with `description` and `controls`, and a `tenets` array with at least
+one entry.
+
+#### Scenario: Mock registry serves valid ampel complypack
+- **WHEN** the mock registry starts with default seed data
+- **THEN** the `complypacks/ampel-bp` artifact SHALL contain a tar.gz
+  layer with at least one `.json` file that conforms to the `AmpelPolicy`
+  schema (non-empty `id`, `meta.controls`, and `tenets` fields)
+
+#### Scenario: Ampel provider parses complypack content without error
+- **WHEN** the ampel provider's `Generate()` receives a
+  `ComplypackContentPath` pointing to the extracted complypack content
+- **THEN** `LoadGranularPolicies()` SHALL parse all JSON files
+  successfully and return a non-empty policy map
+
+### Requirement: Ampel complypack embedded via filesystem
+The ampel complypack content SHALL be embedded using `//go:embed` and
+`buildTarGzFromFS()`, matching the pattern established by the OPA
+complypack. The content SHALL NOT use `buildDummyTarGz()` with inline
+string literals.
+
+#### Scenario: Embedded testdata directory structure
+- **WHEN** the mock registry binary is compiled
+- **THEN** the `testdata/ampel-complypack/` directory SHALL be embedded
+  via `//go:embed` and its contents packaged by `buildTarGzFromFS()`
+
+### Requirement: Cross-repo integration test uses complypack flow
+The cross-repo integration test SHALL exercise the complypack content
+path for the ampel provider. Manual pre-staging of granular policy files
+into the workspace default directory SHALL be removed so the test
+validates the complypack-delivered content path.
+
+#### Scenario: Integration test passes without pre-staged granular policies
+- **WHEN** the cross-repo integration test runs `complyctl generate`
+- **THEN** the ampel provider SHALL load granular policies from the
+  complypack content path (delivered by `complyctl get`) instead of from
+  a manually pre-staged `.complytime/ampel/granular-policies/` directory
+
+#### Scenario: Backward compatibility with old provider
+- **WHEN** the mock registry serves valid ampel complypack content
+- **AND** the ampel provider binary does NOT support `ComplypackContentPath`
+  (pre-PR#52 version)
+- **THEN** the provider SHALL ignore the complypack content and fall back
+  to the pre-staged granular policies directory without error
+
+### Requirement: Unit test coverage for ampel complypack seeding
+The mock registry's unit tests SHALL verify that the ampel complypack
+artifact is seeded with valid, readable content containing the expected
+files.
+
+#### Scenario: TestSeedDefaults verifies ampel complypack content
+- **WHEN** `TestSeedDefaults_AllReposSeeded` runs
+- **THEN** it SHALL verify that `complypacks/ampel-bp` contains a content
+  blob that decompresses to at least one `.json` file with a non-empty
+  `id` field
