+# Headlamp Polaris Plugin - Project Assessment
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-11
+**Version:** v0.3.0
+**Status:** Active Development
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This assessment identifies critical issues and improvement opportunities for the headlamp-polaris-plugin project. The plugin is currently non-functional in production due to Headlamp v0.39.0 compatibility issues, and has several TypeScript compilation errors that need immediate attention.
+
+---
+
+## 🔴 Critical Issues (Must Fix Immediately)
+
+### 1. TypeScript Compilation Errors
+**Severity:** CRITICAL
+**Impact:** Build failures, type safety compromised
+
+**Issues:**
+- `src/index.tsx:72` - `registerDetailsViewSection` expects 1 argument, got 2
+- `src/index.tsx:87` - `registerAppBarAction` expects 1 argument, got 2
+
+**Recommendation:**
+Update Headlamp plugin API calls to match the current version. Check @kinvolk/headlamp-plugin version compatibility.
+
+**Action Items:**
+- [ ] Review Headlamp plugin API documentation
+- [ ] Update `registerDetailsViewSection` and `registerAppBarAction` calls
+- [ ] Run `npm run tsc` to verify fixes
+- [ ] Update CI to fail on TypeScript errors
+
+---
+
+### 2. Production Plugin Loading Failure
+**Severity:** CRITICAL
+**Impact:** Plugin is completely non-functional in production
+
+**Root Cause:**
+Headlamp v0.39.0 with default `watchPlugins: true` treats catalog-managed plugins as "development directory" plugins, preventing frontend JavaScript execution.
+
+**Current Status:**
+- Deployment patched to install plugins to `/headlamp/static-plugins`
+- `watchPlugins: false` configured
+- Waiting for user to test if plugins now load
+
+**Action Items:**
+- [ ] Confirm plugins load after recent deployment changes
+- [ ] Document the fix in deployment guide
+- [ ] Update MEMORY.md with final resolution
+- [ ] Consider downgrading Headlamp if issue persists
+
+---
+
+### 3. Test Failures
+**Severity:** HIGH
+**Impact:** CI failures, reduced confidence in changes
+
+**Current Status:**
+- 1 test file failing (DashboardView)
+- 49 tests passing
+- Error related to `SimpleTable` component mock
+
+**Action Items:**
+- [ ] Fix DashboardView test mocking
+- [ ] Ensure all tests pass before merging PRs
+- [ ] Add test for top issues feature
+- [ ] Increase test coverage to >80%
+
+---
+
+## 🟡 High Priority Improvements
+
+### 4. Type Safety Enhancements
+**Severity:** HIGH
+**Impact:** Better developer experience, catch errors earlier
+
+**Recommendations:**
+- Enable stricter TypeScript checks in `tsconfig.json`
+- Add type definitions for all Headlamp plugin APIs
+- Ensure no `any` types in production code
+- Add JSDoc comments for complex types
+
+**Action Items:**
+- [ ] Audit codebase for `any` types
+- [ ] Enable `noImplicitAny` and `strictNullChecks`
+- [ ] Add type guards for API responses
+- [ ] Document complex type structures
+
+---
+
+### 5. Security Hardening
+**Severity:** HIGH
+**Impact:** Prevent vulnerabilities, protect user data
+
+**Current Risks:**
+- Direct Kubernetes API access via service proxy
+- User input in exemption annotations (potential injection)
+- External URL configuration for Polaris dashboard
+
+**Recommendations:**
+- Validate and sanitize all user inputs
+- Implement input validation for dashboard URL
+- Add CSRF protection for exemption management
+- Audit dependencies for known vulnerabilities
+
+**Action Items:**
+- [ ] Add input validation utilities
+- [ ] Sanitize exemption annotation values
+- [ ] Validate URL format for dashboard configuration
+- [ ] Run `npm audit` and fix vulnerabilities
+- [ ] Add security testing to CI/CD
+
+---
+
+### 6. Error Handling & User Experience
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**Impact:** Better error messages, improved debugging
+
+**Current Gaps:**
+- Generic error messages don't help users troubleshoot
+- No retry logic for transient API failures
+- Missing loading states in some components
+
+**Recommendations:**
+- Provide specific, actionable error messages
+- Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
+- Add loading skeletons for all async operations
+- Show connection test results with specific failure reasons
+
+**Action Items:**
+- [ ] Create error message constants with solutions
+- [ ] Add retry logic to API calls
+- [ ] Implement loading skeletons
+- [ ] Improve connection test error messages
+
+---
+
+## 🟢 Medium Priority Enhancements
+
+### 7. Testing Coverage
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**Impact:** Confidence in changes, regression prevention
+
+**Current Coverage:**
+- Unit tests: Good coverage for API utilities
+- Component tests: Some coverage, gaps exist
+- E2E tests: Minimal (Playwright configured but underutilized)
+
+**Recommendations:**
+- Add E2E tests for critical user flows
+- Test error scenarios and edge cases
+- Add visual regression tests
+- Test RBAC permission denied scenarios
+
+**Action Items:**
+- [ ] Write E2E test for complete audit workflow
+- [ ] Add tests for error states
+- [ ] Test exemption management flow
+- [ ] Add Playwright tests to CI
+
+---
+
+### 8. Performance Optimization
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**Impact:** Faster load times, better UX
+
+**Opportunities:**
+- Memoize expensive calculations (score computation)
+- Lazy load namespace detail views
+- Debounce search/filter operations
+- Cache Polaris data with stale-while-revalidate
+
+**Action Items:**
+- [ ] Add React.memo to pure components
+- [ ] Memoize score calculations
+- [ ] Implement data caching strategy
+- [ ] Profile component render times
+
+---
+
+### 9. Code Quality & Maintainability
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**Impact:** Easier maintenance, onboarding
+
+**Recommendations:**
+- Extract magic strings to constants
+- Reduce component complexity
+- Add JSDoc comments for public APIs
+- Improve code organization
+
+**Action Items:**
+- [ ] Create constants file for check IDs
+- [ ] Split large components (DashboardView, NamespaceDetailView)
+- [ ] Add comments for complex logic
+- [ ] Establish code review checklist
+
+---
+
+## 🔵 Low Priority / Future Enhancements
+
+### 10. Documentation
+**Severity:** LOW
+**Impact:** Better onboarding, user adoption
+
+**Gaps:**
+- No architecture documentation
+- Limited inline code comments
+- Missing troubleshooting guide
+- No contributor guidelines
+
+**Action Items:**
+- [ ] Create architecture diagram
+- [ ] Document component hierarchy
+- [ ] Add troubleshooting section to README
+- [ ] Create CONTRIBUTING.md
+
+---

 ## What It Does
 
-Adds a **Polaris** top-level sidebar section to Headlamp with the following views:
+Adds a **Polaris** top-level sidebar section to Headlamp with comprehensive security, reliability, and efficiency audit integration:
 
-- **Overview** -- cluster score as a percentage (color-coded green/amber/red), check summary (pass/warning/danger counts), and cluster info (nodes, pods, namespaces, controllers)
-- **Full Audit** -- same as overview but includes skipped checks in the totals
-- **Namespace drill-down** -- per-namespace score, check counts, and a resource table showing pass/warning/danger per workload. Namespace entries appear dynamically in the sidebar based on live audit data.
-- **External link** -- quick jump to the native Polaris dashboard via the Kubernetes service proxy
+### Main Views

+Each check in a `ResultSet` has `Success` (bool) and `Severity` (`"warning"`, `"danger"`, or `"ignore"`). Checks with `Severity: "ignore"` and `Success: false` are counted as skipped. The cluster score is computed client-side as `pass / total * 100`.
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+### Skipped Count and Annotation-Based Exemptions
+
+The **Skipped** count shown in the plugin only reflects checks with `Severity: "ignore"` in the Polaris API response. It does **not** include annotation-based exemptions (e.g., `polaris.fairwinds.com/privilegeEscalationAllowed-exempt: "true"`).
+
+**Why?** Polaris completely omits exempted checks from the `results.json` endpoint. The native Polaris dashboard UI computes the "skipped" count client-side by:
+1. Querying Kubernetes resources (Deployments, DaemonSets, StatefulSets, Pods) directly
+2. Parsing their annotations for `polaris.fairwinds.com/*-exempt` keys
+3. Counting how many checks were exempted
+
+This plugin only has access to the processed audit results via the service proxy and does not query raw Kubernetes resources. To show accurate exemption counts, the plugin would need to:
+- Request cluster-wide read access to all workload types (requires additional RBAC grants beyond `services/proxy`)
+- Parse annotations on every workload in every namespace
+- Cross-reference with the Polaris check catalog to count exemptions
+
+This is a significant architectural change and is not currently implemented. Hover over the "Skipped" count in the UI to see a tooltip explaining this limitation.
+
+**Workaround:** Use the "View in Polaris Dashboard" link from any namespace detail view to see the full exemption count in the native dashboard.
 
 ## Releasing
 
 Releases are automated via CI. To cut a release:
 
 ```bash
-# Bump version in package.json and artifacthub-pkg.yml, then:
-git add package.json package-lock.json artifacthub-pkg.yml
-git commit -m "chore: bump version to 0.0.2"
-git tag v0.0.2
-git push origin main v0.0.2
+# Bump version in package.json and artifacthub-pkg.yml (version + archive-url), then:
+git add package.json artifacthub-pkg.yml
+git commit -m "chore: bump version to X.Y.Z"
+git tag vX.Y.Z
+git push origin main vX.Y.Z
 ```
 
-This triggers two CI pipelines:
-
-**Gitea Actions** (`.gitea/workflows/release.yaml`):
+This triggers the **Gitea Actions** release workflow (`.gitea/workflows/release.yaml`):
 1. Build the plugin in a `node:20` container
 2. Package a `.tar.gz` tarball
 3. Build and push a Docker image to `git.farh.net/farhoodliquor/headlamp-polaris-plugin:{tag}` and `:latest`
 4. Create a Gitea release with the tarball attached
+5. Create a GitHub release with the same tarball (for Artifact Hub)
+6. Update `artifacthub-pkg.yml` checksum on main and force-move the tag to match
 
-**GitHub Actions** (`.github/workflows/release.yml`):
-1. Build and package the plugin
-2. Create a GitHub release with the tarball attached (required for Artifact Hub)
-
-The Gitea repo push-mirrors to GitHub automatically, so both pipelines trigger from a single `git push`.
+A guard step prevents infinite loops: if the release tarball checksum already matches the metadata, the build is skipped.
 
 ### CI secrets
 
 | Secret | Where | Purpose |
 |---|---|---|
 | `REGISTRY_TOKEN` | Gitea | Personal access token with `package:write` scope for Docker image push |
+| `GH_PAT` | Gitea | GitHub personal access token for creating GitHub releases |
 
-The Gitea release uses the built-in `github.token`. The GitHub release uses the default `GITHUB_TOKEN` with `contents: write` permission.
-
-### Updating Artifact Hub
-
-When releasing a new version, update `artifacthub-pkg.yml`:
-- `version` field
-- `headlamp/plugin/archive-url` annotation (update the version in the download URL)
-- `headlamp/plugin/archive-checksum` annotation (SHA256 of the new tarball, printed by the CI build)

+# Headlamp Plugin Loading Issue - Root Cause and Fix
+
+## Problem
+Headlamp v0.39.0 was not loading plugins installed via the plugin manager. Plugins appeared in Settings → Plugins but:
+- No sidebar entries appeared
+- No plugin settings were available
+- Plugin JavaScript was not being executed in the browser
+
+## Root Cause
+When `config.watchPlugins: true` (the default), Headlamp treats catalog-managed plugins in `/headlamp/plugins/` as "development directory" plugins. This causes:
+- Backend serves plugin metadata correctly
+- Backend logs show "Treating catalog-installed plugin in development directory as user plugin"
+- **Frontend does NOT execute the plugin JavaScript**
+- Plugin registrations (`registerSidebarEntry`, `registerRoute`, etc.) never happen
+
+## Solution
+Set `config.watchPlugins: false` in the Headlamp HelmRelease values:
+
+```yaml
+spec:
+  values:
+    config:
+      watchPlugins: false
+    pluginsManager:
+      enabled: true
+      configContent: |
+        plugins:
+          - name: polaris
+            source: https://artifacthub.io/packages/headlamp/polaris/headlamp-polaris-plugin
+          # ... other plugins
+```
+
+## Why This Works
+With `watchPlugins: false`:
+- Headlamp no longer treats catalog-managed plugins as "development" plugins
+- Frontend properly loads and executes plugin JavaScript on startup
+- Plugin registrations happen correctly
+- All plugin features (sidebar, routes, settings, etc.) work as expected
+
+## Testing
+After applying this fix:
+1. Verify plugins are installed: `kubectl logs -n kube-system <headlamp-pod> -c headlamp-plugin`
+2. Verify watchPlugins is false: `kubectl logs -n kube-system <headlamp-pod> -c headlamp | grep "Watch Plugins"`
+3. Hard refresh browser (Cmd+Shift+R / Ctrl+Shift+F5) to clear cached JavaScript
+4. Verify plugin sidebar entries appear
+5. Verify plugin functionality works
+
+## Additional Notes
+- This appears to be a bug/limitation in Headlamp v0.39.0
+- The `watchPlugins` feature is intended for development scenarios where plugins are being actively modified
+- For production deployments with catalog-managed plugins, `watchPlugins: false` is the correct configuration
+- Once plugins are loaded, subsequent restarts or updates work correctly as long as `watchPlugins` remains false

+# E2E Smoke Tests
+
+Playwright-based smoke tests that validate the Polaris plugin against a live Headlamp deployment.
+
+## CI
+
+E2E tests run automatically in Gitea Actions on pushes to `main` and pull requests. The workflow (`.gitea/workflows/e2e.yaml`) uses Authentik OIDC for authentication via repo secrets.
+
+### Required Gitea secrets
+
+| Secret               | Description                                                    |
+| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `AUTHENTIK_USERNAME` | Authentik email or username for a CI user with Headlamp access |
+| `AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD` | Password for that user                                         |
+
+## Running Locally
+
+### Option 1: OIDC via Authentik (same as CI)
+
+```bash
+AUTHENTIK_USERNAME=you@example.com AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD=... npm run e2e
+```
+
+The default base URL is `https://headlamp.animaniacs.farh.net`. Override with `HEADLAMP_URL` if needed.
+
+### Option 2: K8s bearer token (port-forward)
+
+```bash
+kubectl port-forward -n kube-system svc/headlamp 4466:80
+export HEADLAMP_TOKEN=$(kubectl create token headlamp -n kube-system)
+HEADLAMP_URL=http://localhost:4466 npm run e2e
+```
+
+Or in headed mode (opens a browser window):
+
+```bash
+HEADLAMP_URL=http://localhost:4466 npm run e2e:headed
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable             | Required | Default                                | Description                             |
+| -------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
+| `HEADLAMP_URL`       | No       | `https://headlamp.animaniacs.farh.net` | Base URL of the Headlamp instance       |
+| `AUTHENTIK_USERNAME` | OIDC     | —                                      | Authentik email/username                |
+| `AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD` | OIDC     | —                                      | Authentik password                      |
+| `HEADLAMP_TOKEN`     | Token    | —                                      | Kubernetes bearer token (fallback auth) |
+
+Set either `AUTHENTIK_USERNAME` + `AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD` or `HEADLAMP_TOKEN`. OIDC takes priority if both are set.
+
+## What the Tests Validate
+
+- **Sidebar entry** — The Polaris sidebar item appears after login
+- **Overview page** — Cluster score and check distribution render correctly
+- **Namespaces page** — Table of namespaces loads with clickable links
+- **Namespace detail** — Clicking a namespace shows its score and resource table
+
+These are smoke tests against real cluster data. They verify the plugin loads and renders without errors, not specific data values.
