+name: artifacthub-headlamp
+description: Use when working with ArtifactHub metadata, releases, or publishing for Headlamp plugins. Covers artifacthub-repo.yml, artifacthub-pkg.yml, Headlamp-specific annotations, and the release-to-publish workflow.
+tools: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash
+model: sonnet
+---
+
+You are an expert in publishing Headlamp Kubernetes dashboard plugins to ArtifactHub. You understand exactly how ArtifactHub discovers and indexes Headlamp plugins, what metadata is required, and how the release workflow feeds into ArtifactHub listings.
+
+Before editing any metadata files, read the existing `artifacthub-repo.yml`, `artifacthub-pkg.yml`, and `package.json` to understand the current state.
+
+---
+
+## How ArtifactHub Works (Critical Mental Model)
+
+ArtifactHub is a **pull-based, read-only registry**. It periodically scrapes registered GitHub repositories for metadata. There is:
+
+- **NO push API** — you cannot push packages to ArtifactHub
+- **NO reconciliation trigger** — you cannot force ArtifactHub to re-scan
+- **NO upload endpoint** — tarballs are hosted on GitHub Releases, not ArtifactHub
+- **NO webhook integration** — ArtifactHub polls on its own schedule (~30 min)
+
+**The only interface is two YAML files committed to git.** ArtifactHub reads them, and that's it.
+
+---
+
+## Repository Registration
+
+### artifacthub-repo.yml (root of repo)
+
+This file registers the GitHub repository with ArtifactHub. Created once, rarely changed.
+
+```yaml
+# Artifact Hub repository metadata file
+# https://github.com/artifacthub/hub/blob/master/docs/metadata/artifacthub-repo.yml
+repositoryID: <uuid>   # Assigned by ArtifactHub when you add the repo via the web UI
+owners:
+  - name: <github-username-or-org>
+    email: <email>
+```
+
+**How to get the repositoryID:**
+1. Log into artifacthub.io
+2. Go to Control Panel → Repositories → Add
+3. Select repository kind: "Headlamp plugins"
+4. Provide the GitHub repo URL
+5. ArtifactHub generates the UUID — copy it into this file
+
+You do NOT generate this UUID yourself. It comes from ArtifactHub's web UI.
+
+---
+
+## Package Metadata
+
+### artifacthub-pkg.yml (root of repo)
+
+This is the primary metadata file that defines how the plugin appears on ArtifactHub. Updated with each release.
+
+```yaml
+version: "X.Y.Z"                              # MUST match package.json version
+name: <package-name>                           # npm package name from package.json
+displayName: <Human Readable Name>             # Shown on ArtifactHub listing
+createdAt: "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ"             # ISO 8601 — update each release

+  Multi-line description of what the plugin does.
+  Be specific about features and requirements.

+  headlamp/plugin/distro-compat: "<targets>"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Headlamp-Specific Annotations (Required)
+
+These annotations in `artifacthub-pkg.yml` are what make ArtifactHub treat the package as a Headlamp plugin:
+
+### headlamp/plugin/archive-url
+**Required.** Direct download URL to the plugin tarball on GitHub Releases.
+
+Format: `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/releases/download/v<VERSION>/<pkgname>-<VERSION>.tar.gz`
+
+- The tarball is built by `npx @kinvolk/headlamp-plugin build` and then `npx @kinvolk/headlamp-plugin package`
+- The `<pkgname>` comes from `package.json` `name` field
+- The tarball is uploaded as a GitHub Release asset — NOT to ArtifactHub
+
+### headlamp/plugin/archive-checksum
+**Recommended.** SHA256 checksum of the tarball.
+
+Format: `sha256:<hex-digest>`
+
+Generated via: `sha256sum <tarball> | awk '{print $1}'`
+
+Can be empty string if not yet computed (release workflow fills it in).
+
+### headlamp/plugin/version-compat
+**Required.** Minimum Headlamp version the plugin works with.
+
+Format: `>=X.Y.Z` (e.g., `>=0.20.0`, `>=0.26`)
+
+### headlamp/plugin/distro-compat
+**Required.** Comma-separated list of supported Headlamp deployment targets.
+
+Valid values:
+- `in-cluster` — Headlamp running inside a Kubernetes cluster
+- `web` — Web-based Headlamp deployment
+- `app` — Headlamp desktop application (Electron)
+- `desktop` — Alias for desktop app
+- `docker-desktop` — Docker Desktop Headlamp extension
+
+Example: `"in-cluster,web,app"`
+
+---
+
+## ArtifactHub Categories
+
+Valid `category` values for Headlamp plugins:
+- `security` — Secrets, RBAC, policy enforcement
+- `storage` — CSI drivers, persistent volumes, Ceph/Rook
+- `monitoring-logging` — Metrics, GPU monitoring, observability
+- `networking` — Load balancers, virtual IPs, ingress
+
+---
+
+## Optional Fields
+
+### containersImages
+For plugins associated with a specific container/operator:
+```yaml
+containersImages:
+  - name: <component-name>
+    image: docker.io/<org>/<image>:<tag>
+```
+
+### recommendations
+Link to related ArtifactHub packages:
+```yaml
+recommendations:
+  - url: https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/<repo>/<chart>
+```
+
+### install
+Custom installation instructions (markdown):
+```yaml
+install: |
+  ## Install via Headlamp Plugin Manager
+  ...
+```
+
+### logoPath
+Path to a logo image file in the repo (relative to root).
+
+---
+
+## The Release → ArtifactHub Pipeline
+
+This is the actual flow. There is NO other way to publish:
+
+```
+1. Developer triggers release workflow (workflow_dispatch with version)
+2. CI runs tests
+3. Workflow updates:
+   - package.json (npm version)
+   - artifacthub-pkg.yml (version, archive-url, checksum, createdAt, changes)
+4. Plugin is built: npx @kinvolk/headlamp-plugin build
+5. Plugin is packaged: creates <pkgname>-<version>.tar.gz
+6. SHA256 checksum is computed and written to artifacthub-pkg.yml
+7. Changes committed to main
+8. Git tag created: v<version>
+9. GitHub Release created with tarball attached
+10. ArtifactHub polls the repo (~30 min) and picks up the new metadata
+11. Plugin appears/updates on artifacthub.io
+```
+
+**Key points:**
+- Steps 1-9 happen in your GitHub Actions workflow
+- Step 10 is entirely controlled by ArtifactHub — you cannot trigger it
+- The tarball lives on GitHub Releases, not ArtifactHub
+- ArtifactHub only reads `artifacthub-pkg.yml` to discover the download URL
+
+---
+
+## Common Mistakes to Avoid
+
+1. **Trying to push/trigger ArtifactHub** — There is no API for this. Just commit metadata and wait.
+2. **Version mismatch** — `version` in `artifacthub-pkg.yml` MUST match `package.json`. The release workflow should update both.
+3. **Wrong archive-url** — Must point to the actual GitHub Release asset URL. Verify the tarball filename matches what the build produces.
+4. **Missing checksum** — While optional, missing checksums may cause warnings. The release workflow should compute and write it.
+5. **Forgetting createdAt** — Must be updated each release. ArtifactHub uses this for sorting.
+6. **Stale changes section** — The `changes` list should reflect the current version's changelog only, not cumulative history.
+7. **Assuming ArtifactHub hosts anything** — It's an index/catalog. All artifacts are hosted elsewhere (GitHub Releases).
+8. **Trying to generate repositoryID** — This UUID comes from ArtifactHub's web UI when you register the repo. Don't make one up.
+
+---
+
+## Tarball Structure
+
+The plugin tarball built by `@kinvolk/headlamp-plugin` contains:
+
+```
+<pkgname>/
+  main.js          # Bundled plugin code
+  package.json     # Plugin metadata
+```
+
+The `<pkgname>` directory inside the tarball matches the `name` field from `package.json`.
+
+---
+
+## Validating Metadata
+
+Before committing, check:
+1. `version` matches across `package.json` and `artifacthub-pkg.yml`
+2. `archive-url` version tag matches the `version` field
+3. `name` in `artifacthub-pkg.yml` matches `package.json` `name`
+4. `createdAt` is a valid ISO 8601 timestamp
+5. All required annotations are present
+6. `changes` entries use valid `kind` values: `added`, `changed`, `fixed`, `removed`

+
+First stable release. The plugin API (routes, sidebar entries, settings schema, and app bar action) is
+now frozen — no breaking changes without a new major version.
+
+### Security
+- Patched 8 of 9 npm audit vulnerabilities via `pnpm.overrides` (#92)
+
+### Added
+- **Dual-approval CI check**: PRs now require approval from both CTO and QA before merging (#98, #76)
+- **ExemptionManager test suite**: Full coverage of annotation-based exemption flows, exemption creation, and inline feedback (#82)
+- **RBAC preflight check**: `deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh` now verifies runner RBAC before attempting E2E deploy (#80)
+
+### Fixed
+- **E2E infrastructure overhaul**: Replaced Dockerfile.e2e with ConfigMap volume mount for plugin loading; tests now run in the `privilegedescalation-dev` namespace (#73, #89, #94)
+- **E2E token auth**: Workflow uses GitHub App token auth and handles the `/token` redirect correctly (#97)
+- **E2E HTTP readiness**: `deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh` waits for HTTP reachability after rollout before running tests (#104)
+- **E2E runner label**: Updated to `runners-privilegedescalation` for self-hosted ARC runners (#71)
+- **Direct devDependencies**: Added `typescript`, `eslint`, `prettier`, and `@headlamp-k8s/eslint-config` as explicit direct devDependencies to prevent phantom-dep failures in clean installs (#95, #102)
+
+### Changed
+- **pnpm version pinned**: `packageManager` field in `package.json` pins the pnpm version used in CI (#103)
+- **GitHub Actions SHA pinning**: Renovate `pinDigests` enabled to SHA-pin all GitHub Actions (#105)
+- **ArtifactHub metadata polish**: Improved `install` instructions and `changes` section formatting (#82)

-# CONTEXT.md - Headlamp Polaris Plugin
-
-**Purpose**: Comprehensive reverse prompt for AI assistants working on this project.
-
---
-
-## Project Overview
-
-The Headlamp Polaris Plugin surfaces [Fairwinds Polaris](https://www.fairwinds.com/polaris) audit results directly inside the [Headlamp](https://headlamp.dev) Kubernetes UI. It provides a read-only dashboard showing cluster-wide security, reliability, and efficiency scores derived from Polaris policy checks.
-
- **Stack**: React + TypeScript plugin for Headlamp (v0.26+)
- **Data Source**: Polaris dashboard API via Kubernetes service proxy (read-only)
- **Current Version**: v0.4.1
- **Key Constraint**: No direct Kubernetes resource access - all data fetched through service proxy
-
-## Architecture & Data Flow
-
-### Component Hierarchy
-
-```
-src/index.tsx                      # Entry point: registers routes, sidebar, settings
-├── PolarisDataContext.tsx         # Shared data fetch with auto-refresh
-├── components/
-│   ├── DashboardView.tsx          # Overview (score, checks, top issues)
-│   ├── NamespacesListView.tsx     # Namespace list with scores
-│   ├── NamespaceDetailView.tsx    # Per-namespace drill-down (drawer)
-│   ├── PolarisSettings.tsx        # Settings (refresh interval, URL, test)
-│   ├── AppBarScoreBadge.tsx       # Cluster score badge in top nav
-│   └── InlineAuditSection.tsx     # Injected into workload detail views
-└── api/
-    └── polaris.ts                 # Types, hooks, utilities
-```
-
-### Data Source
-
- **Service Proxy Path**: `/api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json`
- **Schema**: `AuditData` with `ClusterInfo`, `Results[]` containing nested `PodResult` and `ContainerResults`
- **Method**: `ApiProxy.request()` from Headlamp plugin SDK (handles K8s API auth automatically)
-
-### State Management
-
- **Pattern**: React Context (see `src/api/PolarisDataContext.tsx`)
- **Rationale**: ADR-001 - Prevents duplicate API calls when multiple components need same data
- **Auto-refresh**: User-configurable interval (1/5/10/30 min, default 5 min)
- **Storage**: Refresh interval and dashboard URL stored in `localStorage`
-
-### Score Computation
-
-```typescript
-// Formula: (pass / total) * 100, rounded to nearest integer
-function computeScore(counts: ResultCounts): number {
-  if (counts.total === 0) return 0;
-  return Math.round((counts.pass / counts.total) * 100);
-}
-```
-
-## Technology Constraints
-
-### ⚠️ CRITICAL: Headlamp Components Only
-
-**MUST** use `@kinvolk/headlamp-plugin/lib/CommonComponents`
-**NEVER** import from `@mui/material` or `@mui/icons-material`
-
-**Why**: Historical issue (v0.3.2) - MUI imports caused plugin load failures. Headlamp provides all needed components as re-exports.
-
-```typescript
-// ✅ Correct
-import { SectionBox, StatusLabel } from '@kinvolk/headlamp-plugin/lib/CommonComponents';
-
-// ❌ Wrong - will break plugin
-import { Box, Chip } from '@mui/material';
-```
-
-### Other Constraints
-
- **TypeScript Strictness**: No `any`, explicit types, strict mode enabled
- **Packaging**: `@kinvolk/headlamp-plugin` is peer dependency - don't bundle React/MUI
- **Theme Handling**: Use CSS variables (`--mui-palette-*`), not theme imports
- **Sidebar Limitation**: Headlamp only supports 2-level nesting (parent → children)
-
-## Component Patterns & Gotchas
-
-### Headlamp Component Issues
-
-1. **StatusLabel with empty status**
-   ```typescript
-   // ❌ Renders near-invisible (muted background)
-   <StatusLabel status="">{value}</StatusLabel>
-
-   // ✅ Use plain String() for neutral values
-   <span>{String(value)}</span>
-   ```
-
-2. **Link component crashes on plugin routes**
-   ```typescript
-   // ❌ Headlamp Link crashes on plugin-registered routes
-   import { Link } from '@kinvolk/headlamp-plugin/lib/CommonComponents';
-
-   // ✅ Use react-router-dom Link with Router.createRouteURL
-   import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
-   import { Router } from '@kinvolk/headlamp-plugin/lib';
-
-   <Link to={Router.createRouteURL('/polaris/namespaces')}>View</Link>
-   ```
-
-3. **Visual components that work well**
-   - `PercentageCircle` - Great for score display
-   - `PercentageBar` - Great for check distribution
-   - `SimpleTable` - Fast, clean tables
-   - `NameValueTable` - Key-value pairs
-   - `SectionBox` - Card containers with titles
-
-### Code Conventions
-
- **Functional Components**: Always use function components with hooks
- **Named Exports**: Prefer named exports over default exports
- **Props Interfaces**: Define as TypeScript interfaces, not inline types
- **Import Order**: React → third-party → Headlamp → local (auto-sorted by eslint)
-
-## RBAC & Security
-
-### Minimal Permission Required
-
-The plugin requires **only** this RBAC permission:
-
-| Verb | API Group | Resource | Resource Name | Namespace |
-|------|-----------|----------|---------------|-----------|
-| `get` | `""` (core) | `services/proxy` | `polaris-dashboard` | `polaris` |
-
-### Example Role
-
-```yaml
-apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
-kind: Role
-metadata:
-  name: polaris-proxy-reader
-  namespace: polaris
-rules:
-  - apiGroups: [""]
-    resources: ["services/proxy"]
-    resourceNames: ["polaris-dashboard"]
-    verbs: ["get"]
---
-apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
-kind: RoleBinding
-metadata:
-  name: headlamp-polaris-proxy
-  namespace: polaris
-subjects:
-  - kind: ServiceAccount
-    name: headlamp
-    namespace: kube-system
-roleRef:
-  kind: Role
-  name: polaris-proxy-reader
-  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
-```
-
-### Security Notes
-
- **Namespaced Role**: MUST be namespaced Role, NOT ClusterRole
- **ResourceNames Required**: Always specify `resourceNames: ["polaris-dashboard"]`
- **No Write Operations**: Plugin only performs GET, never create/update/delete
- **Token-Auth Mode**: When Headlamp uses user tokens, each user needs the RoleBinding
- **Network Policy**: If enforced, allow API server → `polaris-dashboard:80` ingress
- **Audit Logging**: Every proxy request logged as K8s API audit event
-
-## Development Workflow
-
-### Commands
-
-```bash
-# Install dependencies
-npm install
-
-# Start development mode (hot reload at localhost:4466)
-npm start
-
-# Build plugin
-npm run build
-
-# Create tarball for distribution
-npm run package
-
-# Type-check without emitting
-npm run tsc
-
-# Lint
-npm run lint
-
-# Run unit tests
-npm test
-
-# Run E2E tests (requires cluster access)
-npm run e2e
-
-# Format code
-npm run format
-
-# Check formatting (CI)
-npm run format:check
-```
-
-### Branching Strategy
-
- ✅ **ALWAYS use feature branches** for code changes (`feat/*`, `fix/*`, `docs/*`)
- ✅ **MAY push directly to main** for: documentation-only changes, version bump commits
- ❌ **NEVER push code changes directly to main**
-
-### Commit Convention
-
-Use Conventional Commits:
- `feat:` - New feature
- `fix:` - Bug fix
- `docs:` - Documentation only
- `chore:` - Maintenance (deps, config)
- `test:` - Test changes
- `ci:` - CI/CD changes
-
-### PR Process
-
-All PRs must pass:
-1. Build (`npm run build`)
-2. Lint (`npm run lint`)
-3. Type-check (`npm run tsc`)
-4. Unit tests (`npm test`)
-5. Format check (`npm run format:check`)
-
-**Before committing**: Always run `npx prettier --write src/`
-
-## Testing Strategy
-
-### Unit Tests (Vitest)
-
-```bash
-npm test              # Run once
-npm run test:watch    # Watch mode
-```
-
- **Framework**: Vitest with jsdom environment
- **Test files**: `*.test.ts`, `*.test.tsx` in `src/`
- **Setup**: `vitest.setup.ts` with `@testing-library/jest-dom`
- **Coverage**: Focus on meaningful tests, not just numbers
- **Test utilities**: `src/test-utils.tsx` provides test wrapper with context
-
-### E2E Tests (Playwright)
-
-```bash
-npm run e2e           # Headless
-npm run e2e:headed    # With browser UI
-```
-
- **Framework**: Playwright
- **Test files**: `e2e/*.spec.ts`
-  - `polaris.spec.ts` - Sidebar, overview, namespaces, detail drawer
-  - `settings.spec.ts` - Plugin settings page
-  - `appbar.spec.ts` - App bar score badge
- **Auth**: Supports both OIDC (Authentik) and token-based auth (see `e2e/auth.setup.ts`)
- **CI**: Runs on GitHub Actions with `k3s-animaniacs` runner
-
-### Local E2E Setup
-
-```bash
-# Token-based auth
-export HEADLAMP_TOKEN=$(kubectl create token headlamp -n kube-system --duration=24h)
-npm run e2e
-
-# OIDC auth (Authentik)
-export AUTHENTIK_USERNAME=your-username
-export AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD=your-password
-npm run e2e
-```
-
-## CI/CD & Release
-
-### CI Workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yaml`)
-
-Runs on push to main and all PRs:
-1. Checkout
-2. `npm ci`
-3. `npm run build`
-4. `npm run lint`
-5. `npm run tsc`
-6. `npm run format:check`
-7. `npm test`
-
-Runner: `local-ubuntu-latest`
-
-### E2E Workflow (`.github/workflows/e2e.yaml`)
-
-Runs on push, PR, and manual trigger:
-1. Checkout
-2. `npm ci`
-3. `npm run e2e`
-
-Runner: `k3s-animaniacs` (has cluster access)
-Requires: `HEADLAMP_URL`, `HEADLAMP_TOKEN` or `AUTHENTIK_USERNAME`/`AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD`
-
-### Release Workflow (`.github/workflows/release.yaml`)
-
-**Manual trigger** via workflow_dispatch with version input:
-
-```bash
-# Via GitHub UI or CLI
-gh workflow run release.yaml -f version=0.4.2
-```
-
-Steps:
-1. Validate version format (semver)
-2. Bump `package.json` + `artifacthub-pkg.yml`
-3. Build plugin
-4. Package tarball
-5. Compute SHA256 checksum
-6. Commit version bump
-7. Create git tag
-8. Create GitHub release
-9. Upload tarball to release
-
-**Guard**: Skips if checksum already matches (prevents infinite loop)
-
-**Post-release**: ArtifactHub pulls metadata every 30 min (no webhook, pull-based)
-
-### Version Bump Requirements
-
-**ALWAYS bump both files in the same commit**:
- `package.json` - `version` field
- `artifacthub-pkg.yml` - `version` field + `digest` (checksum) + `archive.url`
-
-## Known Issues & Workarounds
-
-### ⚠️ Headlamp v0.39.0 Known Issues
-
-**AutoSizer JavaScript Error**
- **Symptom**: Console shows `TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'io.AutoSizer')`
- **Impact**: Cosmetic error in Settings page, doesn't break functionality
- **Root Cause**: Headlamp core bug, not plugin-related
- **Workaround**: None needed, can be ignored
-
-**Plugin Loading (RESOLVED)**
- **Old Issue**: Previously thought `config.watchPlugins: false` was required
- **Resolution**: Plugins load correctly with default `watchPlugins: true`
- **Note**: If you see old docs mentioning `watchPlugins: false`, ignore them
-
-### Polaris Dashboard Behavior
-
-**Stale Audit Data**
- **Symptom**: Plugin shows old audit timestamp
- **Root Cause**: Polaris dashboard runs audit once at pod startup, then caches results
- **Does NOT**: Continuously re-audit in real-time
- **Workaround**: Restart Polaris pods for fresh data
-  ```bash
-  kubectl rollout restart deployment -n polaris polaris-dashboard
-  ```
- **Load Balancing**: Service balances across multiple pods - each may have different audit timestamps
- **Plugin Auto-Refresh**: Works correctly - just fetches whatever Polaris currently has cached
-
-### Skipped Count Limitation
-
-**What It Shows**:
- Only checks with `Severity: "ignore"` in Polaris API response
- Does NOT include annotation-based exemptions (`polaris.fairwinds.com/*-exempt`)
-
-**Why**:
- Polaris omits exempted checks from `results.json`
- Plugin has no access to raw K8s resources to compute exemptions
- By design: service proxy limitation
-
-**Workaround**:
- Link to native Polaris dashboard for full exemption count
- UI tooltip explains this limitation
-
-## Deployment Patterns
-
-### Plugin Manager (Recommended)
-
-Install via Headlamp UI (Settings → Plugins → Catalog) or Helm values:
-
-```yaml
-pluginsManager:
-  enabled: true
-  configContent: |
-    plugins:
-      - name: polaris
-        source: https://artifacthub.io/packages/headlamp/polaris/headlamp-polaris-plugin
-```
-
-### Sidecar Container (Alternative)
-
-```yaml
-spec:
-  containers:
-    - name: headlamp
-      # ... main container
-    - name: headlamp-plugin
-      image: node:lts-alpine
-      command:
-        - /bin/sh
-        - -c
-        - |
-          npx @headlamp-k8s/pluginctl@latest install \
-            --config /config/plugin.yml \
-            --folderName /headlamp/plugins \
-            --watch
-      volumeMounts:
-        - name: plugins-dir
-          mountPath: /headlamp/plugins
-        - name: plugin-config
-          mountPath: /config
-  volumes:
-    - name: plugins-dir
-      emptyDir: {}
-    - name: plugin-config
-      configMap:
-        name: headlamp-plugin-config
-```
-
-### Manual Tarball
-
-```bash
-# Download release
-wget https://github.com/cpfarhood/headlamp-polaris-plugin/releases/download/v0.4.1/headlamp-polaris-plugin-0.4.1.tgz
-
-# Extract to plugin directory
-tar -xzf headlamp-polaris-plugin-0.4.1.tgz -C /headlamp/plugins/
-
-# Restart Headlamp
-kubectl rollout restart deployment headlamp -n kube-system
-```

-```
-
-## Anti-Patterns (What NOT to Do)
-
- ❌ Import from `@mui/material` or `@mui/icons-material` → breaks plugin
- ❌ Use `any` type → strict TypeScript required
- ❌ Push code changes directly to main → always use feature branches
- ❌ Grant broader RBAC than `get services/proxy` → security risk
- ❌ Use ClusterRole instead of namespaced Role → violates least privilege
- ❌ Forget to run `npx prettier --write src/` → CI will fail
- ❌ Use inline styles without CSS variables → breaks dark mode
- ❌ Try to query K8s resources directly → plugin only has service proxy access
- ❌ Import Headlamp `Link` for plugin routes → use react-router-dom `Link` + `Router.createRouteURL()`
- ❌ Assume Polaris continuously re-audits → it only audits at pod startup
-
-## Quick Diagnosis Guide
-
-```
-Symptom: Plugin not in sidebar
-→ Check: Hard refresh browser (Cmd+Shift+R / Ctrl+Shift+R)
-→ Check: Plugin installed? kubectl get configmap headlamp-plugin-config -n kube-system
-
-Symptom: 403 Access Denied
-→ Check: RBAC binding exists? kubectl get role,rolebinding -n polaris
-→ Fix: Apply RBAC example from docs/deployment/rbac.md
-
-Symptom: 404 or 503
-→ Check: Polaris installed? kubectl get pods -n polaris
-→ Check: Service exists? kubectl get svc polaris-dashboard -n polaris
-
-Symptom: Stale audit data
-→ Fix: kubectl rollout restart deployment -n polaris polaris-dashboard
-→ Verify: Check AuditTime in UI matches current date
-
-Symptom: Settings page empty or broken
-→ Check: Plugin version ≥ v0.3.3?
-→ Fix: Upgrade plugin and hard refresh browser
-
-Symptom: CI prettier check fails
-→ Fix: npx prettier --write src/
-→ Commit: Include formatting fixes in your PR
-
-Symptom: Dark mode white backgrounds
-→ Check: Plugin version ≥ v0.3.5?
-→ Fix: Upgrade and hard refresh browser
-```
-
-## Historical Context
-
-### Why Service Proxy Instead of ConfigMaps?
-
-Early versions (< v0.0.10) incorrectly documented ConfigMap RBAC. The plugin **never** accessed ConfigMaps - it always used the service proxy. This was clarified in v0.0.10.
-
-### Why No MUI Imports?
-
-v0.3.2 removed direct MUI imports because they caused plugin load failures. Headlamp provides all needed MUI components as re-exports through `CommonComponents`.
-
-### Why React Context?
-
-ADR-001 documents the switch to React Context. Before v0.3.0, each component called `usePolarisData()` independently, causing duplicate API requests. Context ensures a single shared fetch.
-
-### Why No Continuous Polaris Audits?
-
-Polaris dashboard mode runs a one-time audit at pod startup and caches results. This is by design in Polaris itself. For continuous auditing, Polaris would need to be configured in webhook mode (admission controller), which is a different deployment pattern.

+# Installation Policy
+
+## Approved Installation Method
+
+**The ONLY approved method for installing this plugin is via [Artifact Hub](https://artifacthub.io/) using the Headlamp plugin installer.**
+
+No other installation method is acceptable. This includes but is not limited to:
+
+- Direct installation from GitHub release assets
+- Manual npm pack / tarball extraction
+- initContainer workarounds that bypass Artifact Hub
+- Direct file copy or sidecar injection
+
+## Enforcement
+
+All deployment configurations, CI/CD pipelines, and documentation MUST reference Artifact Hub as the sole plugin distribution channel. Any pull request that introduces an alternative installation method will be rejected.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Artifact Hub provides verified checksums, consistent versioning, and a standard discovery mechanism for the CNCF ecosystem. Bypassing it introduces security and integrity risks.

-# 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:**

-# 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

+# ADR-002: Service Proxy as Single Data Source
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-03-05
+**Deciders:** Plugin maintainers
+
+## Context
+
+The Polaris plugin needs audit data from the Polaris dashboard. Polaris dashboard exposes a `/results.json` endpoint containing pre-computed audit results for all workloads in the cluster.
+
+Several approaches were considered for obtaining this data:
+
+1. Query Kubernetes resources directly and re-implement Polaris audit logic
+2. Use the Polaris CLI as a sidecar container
+3. Use the Polaris dashboard's REST API via Kubernetes service proxy
+4. Embed Polaris as a Go/JS library
+
+The service proxy approach uses the Kubernetes API server's built-in service proxy capability to reach the Polaris dashboard at `/api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json`. This means the plugin receives pre-computed audit results without needing to understand Polaris internals.
+
+**Constraints:**
+
+- Headlamp plugins can make API calls via `ApiProxy.request()` (proxied through the Headlamp backend) or direct `fetch()` for external URLs
+- The Polaris dashboard service name, namespace, and port may vary across cluster setups
+- Some users may run Polaris externally (not in-cluster)
+
+**Requirements:**
+
+- Retrieve all audit data in a single API call
+- Support configurable endpoint URL for different cluster configurations
+- Support external Polaris instances via full HTTP/HTTPS URLs
+- Work through existing Kubernetes RBAC without additional configuration
+
+## Decision
+
+Use **`ApiProxy.request()`** to fetch from the Polaris dashboard service proxy as the single data source for all audit data.
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+- Default endpoint: `/api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json`
+- URL is configurable via plugin settings stored in `localStorage` (key: `polaris-plugin-dashboard-url`)
+- For full URLs starting with `http://` or `https://`, use browser `fetch()` directly to support external Polaris instances
+- `getPolarisApiPath()` in `polaris.ts` resolves the configured URL, with `isFullUrl()` determining the fetch strategy
+- Single fetch shared across all views via `PolarisDataProvider` (see ADR-001)
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- ✅ **Single API call gets all audit data** - One request to `/results.json` returns scores for every workload
+- ✅ **No need to understand Polaris internals** - Plugin receives pre-computed results, no audit logic duplication
+- ✅ **Works through existing K8s RBAC** - Service proxy uses standard Kubernetes RBAC (`get` on `services/proxy`)
+- ✅ **Configurable endpoint** - Users can customize namespace, service name, or point to an external instance
+- ✅ **Minimal plugin complexity** - No CRD watches, no custom controllers, no library dependencies
+
+### Negative
+
+- ❌ **Requires Polaris dashboard to be deployed and accessible** - Plugin has no data without the dashboard
+  - **Mitigated by:** Clear error messages guiding users to install Polaris (404/503 → install guidance)
+- ❌ **Single point of failure** - If the dashboard service is down, the plugin shows no data
+  - **Mitigated by:** Status-code-specific error messages (403 → RBAC guidance, 404/503 → deployment guidance)
+- ❌ **Dashboard must be running continuously** - Unlike CRD-based approaches where data persists
+  - **Mitigated by:** Polaris dashboard is typically deployed as a long-running service
+
+### Neutral
+
+- The Polaris dashboard is a lightweight Go service with minimal resource requirements
+- Service proxy is a standard Kubernetes pattern used by many tools (kubectl port-forward, dashboard proxying)
+- The configurable URL approach supports both in-cluster and external Polaris deployments
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Option 1: Query Polaris CRDs Directly
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- No dependency on Polaris dashboard being running
+- Data persists in CRDs even if dashboard restarts
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- Polaris audit logic is complex and would need to be duplicated in the plugin
+- Would require watching multiple CRD types
+- Plugin would need to be updated whenever Polaris changes its audit rules
+
+**Decision:** Rejected (would duplicate Polaris internals, maintenance burden)
+
+### Option 2: Use Polaris CLI as a Sidecar
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- CLI has full audit capability
+- Could run audits on-demand
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- Adds operational complexity (sidecar container management)
+- Not suitable for a browser-based plugin (CLI runs server-side)
+- Would require a separate backend service to bridge CLI output to the plugin
+
+**Decision:** Rejected (operational complexity, not suitable for plugin architecture)
+
+### Option 3: Embed Polaris as a Library
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- Full control over audit execution
+- No external service dependency
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- Polaris is a Go library, not available in JavaScript/TypeScript plugin runtime
+- Would massively increase bundle size
+- Would duplicate the entire Polaris engine
+
+**Decision:** Rejected (not available in plugin runtime, massive dependency)

+# ADR-003: Error Boundary as Class Component Exception
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-03-05
+**Deciders:** Plugin maintainers
+
+## Context
+
+The plugin follows a strict "functional components only" convention (see CLAUDE.md). However, React error boundaries require the `getDerivedStateFromError` and `componentDidCatch` lifecycle methods, which are only available on class components. As of React 18, there is no hooks-based error boundary API, and the React team has not announced a timeline for one.
+
+The plugin registers components at multiple Headlamp integration points:
+
+- Routes (dashboard, namespaces list)
+- Detail view sections (Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet, Job, CronJob)
+- App bar action (score badge)
+- Plugin settings page
+
+An unhandled error in any one of these registered components would crash the entire Headlamp UI, not just the plugin. This is because Headlamp renders plugin components inline within its own React tree.
+
+**Constraints:**
+
+- React does not support error boundaries via hooks or functional components
+- The `react-error-boundary` library is not available as a peer dependency in Headlamp plugins
+- Plugin errors must not crash the host Headlamp application
+
+**Requirements:**
+
+- Catch and contain errors in all plugin-registered components
+- Provide user-friendly error display with recovery option
+- Isolate failures per registration point (an error in the app bar badge should not affect the dashboard view)
+
+## Decision
+
+Define **`PolarisErrorBoundary`** as a class component directly in `index.tsx`. This is the sole exception to the functional-component-only convention.
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+- `PolarisErrorBoundary` is a React class component with `getDerivedStateFromError` and `componentDidCatch`
+- Every registered component (routes, detail sections, app bar action) is wrapped in this boundary
+- On error, displays a user-friendly fallback with an option to retry
+- Error details are logged to the console for debugging
+- The boundary is minimal (~30 lines) and co-located in `index.tsx` to minimize the convention violation
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- ✅ **Prevents plugin errors from crashing Headlamp** - Errors are caught and contained within the boundary
+- ✅ **User-friendly error display** - Shows a clear message with recovery option instead of a blank screen
+- ✅ **Isolated per registration point** - Each registered component has its own boundary instance
+- ✅ **No external dependencies** - Uses built-in React class component API
+- ✅ **Minimal implementation** - Small class component, easy to understand and maintain
+
+### Negative
+
+- ❌ **Breaks functional-only convention** - One class component in an otherwise functional codebase
+  - **Mitigated by:** Kept minimal and co-located in `index.tsx` with clear documentation of why
+- ❌ **Class component syntax less familiar to contributors** - Modern React developers may not be fluent in class components
+  - **Mitigated by:** The boundary is simple (no complex state, no lifecycle methods beyond error handling)
+
+### Neutral
+
+- This is a well-known React limitation acknowledged by the React team
+- Many React projects that otherwise use functional components make this same exception for error boundaries
+- The pattern is explicitly documented in the React documentation
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Option 1: No Error Boundary
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- No class component needed
+- Simpler code
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- Plugin errors would crash the entire Headlamp UI
+- Users would see a blank screen with no recovery option
+- Poor user experience and potential data loss in other Headlamp features
+
+**Decision:** Rejected (unacceptable risk of crashing host application)
+
+### Option 2: react-error-boundary Library
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- Provides a functional component API for error boundaries
+- Well-maintained, widely used library
+- Supports error recovery and reset
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- External dependency not available in Headlamp plugin runtime
+- Cannot add peer dependencies that Headlamp does not provide
+
+**Decision:** Rejected (dependency not available in plugin environment)
+
+### Option 3: Wait for React Hooks-Based Error Boundary API
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- Would maintain functional-only convention
+- Official React solution
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- No timeline from the React team for this feature
+- Plugin needs error boundaries now, not at some future date
+- May never be implemented (React team has not committed to this)
+
+**Decision:** Rejected (no timeline, cannot ship without error boundaries)

+# ADR-004: Browser localStorage for User Settings
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-03-05
+**Deciders:** Plugin maintainers
+
+## Context
+
+The plugin has two user-configurable settings:
+
+1. **Auto-refresh interval** (1-30 minutes, default 5 minutes) - how often to re-fetch Polaris audit data
+2. **Polaris dashboard URL** - endpoint for the Polaris dashboard service (supports custom namespaces/service names and external instances)
+
+These are per-user preferences, not cluster configuration. They should persist across browser sessions and page reloads.
+
+Several storage mechanisms are available:
+
+- Browser `localStorage` - simple key-value store, persistent, synchronous API
+- Headlamp `ConfigStore` API - backed by Redux, reactive, integrated with Headlamp's state management
+- React state only - in-memory, lost on page reload
+- URL query parameters - visible in URL, lost on navigation
+
+**Constraints:**
+
+- Settings need to be reactive: the `PolarisDataProvider` must detect changes made on the settings page
+- Headlamp provides `registerPluginSettings` which renders a settings component - the settings page and the data provider are separate component trees
+- Only two scalar values need to be stored
+
+**Requirements:**
+
+- Persist settings across browser sessions and page reloads
+- React to setting changes without requiring a full page reload
+- Simple implementation for two scalar values
+- Work with Headlamp's `registerPluginSettings` API
+
+## Decision
+
+Use **browser `localStorage`** directly for persisting plugin settings.
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+- Refresh interval stored at key `polaris-plugin-refresh-interval` (value in minutes as string)
+- Dashboard URL stored at key `polaris-plugin-dashboard-url` (URL string or empty for default)
+- `PolarisSettings` component (registered via `registerPluginSettings`) reads/writes these keys
+- `PolarisDataProvider` polls `localStorage` via `setInterval` every 1 second to detect setting changes
+- Helper functions in `polaris.ts` (`getRefreshInterval()`, `getPolarisApiPath()`) encapsulate localStorage access
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- ✅ **Simple and well-understood API** - `localStorage.getItem`/`setItem` is straightforward
+- ✅ **Persists across browser sessions** - Data survives page reloads, tab closes, browser restarts
+- ✅ **No dependency on Headlamp store internals** - Decoupled from Headlamp's Redux implementation
+- ✅ **Works with `registerPluginSettings`** - Settings page and data provider communicate via shared localStorage keys
+- ✅ **Minimal code** - No state management boilerplate for two simple values
+
+### Negative
+
+- ❌ **Not reactive by default** - localStorage has no built-in change notification within the same tab
+  - **Mitigated by:** 1-second polling interval in `PolarisDataProvider` to detect changes
+- ❌ **Settings are browser-local** - Not synced across devices or browsers
+  - **Mitigated by:** These are user preferences, browser-local storage is appropriate
+- ❌ **No type safety on stored values** - All values stored as strings
+  - **Mitigated by:** Helper functions with `parseInt` and default values handle type conversion
+
+### Neutral
+
+- localStorage has a 5-10 MB limit per origin, more than sufficient for two string values
+- The 1-second polling interval has negligible performance impact (reading two string keys)
+- The `storage` event could detect cross-tab changes but does not fire for same-tab writes
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Option 1: Headlamp ConfigStore API
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- Integrated with Headlamp's Redux store
+- Reactive (Redux state changes trigger re-renders)
+- Type-safe with TypeScript
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- Couples plugin to Headlamp's internal Redux store implementation
+- More complex API for two scalar values
+- ConfigStore API may change across Headlamp versions
+
+**Decision:** Not chosen (localStorage is simpler for two scalar values, avoids coupling to Headlamp's Redux internals)
+
+### Option 2: React State Only (No Persistence)
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- Simplest implementation
+- Fully reactive
+- No side effects
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- Settings lost on page reload - users must reconfigure every session
+- Poor user experience for frequently changed settings
+
+**Decision:** Rejected (settings must persist across page reloads)
+
+### Option 3: URL Query Parameters
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- Shareable via URL
+- No storage API needed
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- Lost on navigation to different routes
+- Clutters the URL
+- Not suitable for persistent settings
+
+**Decision:** Rejected (does not persist across navigation)

+# ADR-005: Annotation-Based Exemption Management
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-03-05
+**Deciders:** Plugin maintainers
+
+## Context
+
+Polaris allows exempting specific workloads from audit checks. When a workload is exempt, Polaris skips all audit checks for that resource. The exemption mechanism uses the annotation `polaris.fairwinds.com/exempt=true` on the workload resource.
+
+The plugin needs to let users manage these exemptions directly from the Headlamp UI. Several approaches were considered:
+
+1. Use Polaris's native annotation-based exemption mechanism
+2. Create a separate exemption ConfigMap
+3. Define a custom ExemptionPolicy CRD
+4. Read-only display with kubectl instructions
+
+**Constraints:**
+
+- Polaris only recognizes `polaris.fairwinds.com/exempt` annotations on workload resources
+- The plugin is otherwise read-only (this would be the only write operation)
+- Users need appropriate RBAC permissions to patch workload resources
+- Supported workload types: Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Jobs, CronJobs
+
+**Requirements:**
+
+- Allow users to toggle exemptions for workloads from the Headlamp UI
+- Use a mechanism that Polaris actually respects (exemptions must take effect on next scan)
+- Support all workload types that Polaris audits
+- Respect Kubernetes RBAC (only authorized users can manage exemptions)
+
+## Decision
+
+Use **Polaris's native annotation-based exemption mechanism**. The `ExemptionManager` component patches `polaris.fairwinds.com/exempt` annotations onto workload resources via `ApiProxy.request`.
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+- `ExemptionManager` component in `ExemptionManager.tsx` provides a toggle UI for each workload
+- Exemptions are applied via `ApiProxy.request` with `method: 'PATCH'` and `Content-Type: application/strategic-merge-patch+json`
+- Patch payload sets `metadata.annotations["polaris.fairwinds.com/exempt"]` to `"true"` or removes the annotation
+- This is the only write operation in the entire plugin
+- RBAC is enforced by Kubernetes - users without `patch` permission on the workload resource will receive a 403 error
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- ✅ **Uses Polaris's own exemption mechanism** - No custom storage or translation layer needed
+- ✅ **Exemptions visible in standard kubectl output** - `kubectl get deployment -o yaml` shows the annotation
+- ✅ **No additional CRDs or ConfigMaps** - No custom resources to manage or clean up
+- ✅ **Polaris automatically respects annotations** - Exemptions take effect on the next audit scan
+- ✅ **Standard Kubernetes pattern** - Annotations are the idiomatic way to attach metadata to resources
+
+### Negative
+
+- ❌ **Requires write RBAC on workload resources** - Users need `patch` permission on deployments, statefulsets, etc.
+  - **Mitigated by:** RBAC scoping - only users with patch permission can manage exemptions; UI shows clear error for 403
+- ❌ **Annotation changes not versioned or auditable** - Beyond standard Kubernetes resource history
+  - **Mitigated by:** Kubernetes audit logging captures annotation patches; resource `metadata.managedFields` tracks changes
+- ❌ **Only supports full-resource exemption** - Cannot exempt individual checks (Polaris limitation)
+  - **Mitigated by:** This matches Polaris's own annotation-level granularity
+
+### Neutral
+
+- Strategic merge patch is the standard Kubernetes patching strategy for adding/removing annotations
+- The annotation key (`polaris.fairwinds.com/exempt`) is defined by Polaris and unlikely to change
+- Exemption state is stored on the workload resource itself, so it moves with the resource if migrated
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Option 1: Separate Exemption ConfigMap
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- Centralizes all exemptions in one place
+- Does not require write access to workload resources
+- Easy to audit all exemptions at once
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- Polaris does not read exemptions from ConfigMaps - it only checks annotations
+- Would require a custom reconciliation controller to sync ConfigMap entries to annotations
+- Adds operational complexity
+
+**Decision:** Rejected (Polaris does not support ConfigMap-based exemptions)
+
+### Option 2: Custom ExemptionPolicy CRD
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- Dedicated resource type for exemption management
+- Could support per-check exemptions, time-based exemptions, etc.
+- Clean separation of concerns
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- Over-engineering for what is essentially an annotation toggle
+- Would require a custom controller to reconcile CRDs to annotations
+- Adds CRD installation as a prerequisite
+- Polaris still needs the annotation, so the CRD would be an indirection layer
+
+**Decision:** Rejected (over-engineering for annotation toggle, would require a controller)
+
+### Option 3: Read-Only Display with kubectl Instructions
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- No write operations in the plugin
+- No RBAC requirements beyond read access
+- Simpler implementation
+
+**Cons:**
+
+- Poor user experience - users must switch to terminal to manage exemptions
+- Defeats the purpose of a UI plugin
+- Error-prone (users may mistype annotation keys)
+
+**Decision:** Rejected (poor UX compared to in-UI toggle)

-# E2E Smoke Tests
-
-Playwright-based smoke tests that validate the Polaris plugin against a live Headlamp deployment.
-
-## CI
-
-E2E tests run automatically in GitHub Actions on pushes to `main` and pull requests. The workflow (`.github/workflows/e2e.yaml`) uses either Authentik OIDC or token-based authentication via repository secrets.
-
-### Required GitHub Secrets
-
-Configure these in GitHub repository settings (Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions):
-
-| Secret               | Required | Description                                                    |
-| -------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `HEADLAMP_URL`       | Optional | Headlamp instance URL (defaults to `https://headlamp.animaniacs.farh.net`) |
-| `AUTHENTIK_USERNAME` | OIDC     | Authentik email or username for a CI user with Headlamp access |
-| `AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD` | OIDC     | Password for that user                                         |
-| `HEADLAMP_TOKEN`     | Token    | Kubernetes service account token (alternative to OIDC)         |
-
-Set either `AUTHENTIK_USERNAME` + `AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD` **or** `HEADLAMP_TOKEN`. OIDC takes priority if both are set.
-
-## 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.
-
-## Test Coverage
-
-### Current Tests (`polaris.spec.ts`)
-
-1. **`sidebar contains Polaris entry`**
-   - Verifies Polaris appears in the navigation sidebar
-   - Ensures plugin successfully registered sidebar entry
-
-2. **`overview page renders cluster score`**
-   - Navigates to `/c/main/polaris`
-   - Checks for "Polaris — Overview" heading
-   - Verifies cluster score percentage is displayed
-   - Validates data fetching and rendering
-
-3. **`namespaces page renders table with namespace buttons`**
-   - Navigates to `/c/main/polaris/namespaces`
-   - Checks for "Polaris — Namespaces" heading
-   - Verifies table is visible with at least one row
-   - Ensures namespace buttons are clickable
-
-4. **`namespace detail drawer opens from table button`**
-   - Clicks first namespace button in table
-   - Verifies drawer opens with namespace name in heading
-   - Checks "Namespace Score" section is visible
-   - Confirms "Resources" table is displayed
-   - Validates URL hash is updated with namespace name
-
-5. **`namespace detail drawer closes with Escape key`**
-   - Opens namespace drawer
-   - Presses Escape key
-   - Verifies drawer closes
-   - Checks URL hash is cleared
-
-6. **`namespace detail drawer opens from URL hash`**
-   - Navigates directly to `/c/main/polaris/namespaces#<namespace>`
-   - Verifies drawer automatically opens
-   - Checks namespace details are displayed
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-### Cluster Requirements
-
-1. **Polaris Deployment**
-   ```bash
-   # Verify Polaris is running
-   kubectl -n polaris get pods
-   kubectl -n polaris get svc polaris-dashboard
-   ```
-
-2. **Polaris Audit Data**
-   ```bash
-   # Check if Polaris has generated audit results
-   kubectl get --raw /api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json | jq '.AuditTime'
-   ```
-
-3. **RBAC Permissions**
-   - Headlamp service account (or test user) needs `get` on `services/proxy` for `polaris-dashboard`
-   - See main README for RBAC setup
-
-### Local Setup
-
-```bash
-# 1. Install dependencies
-npm install
-npx playwright install chromium
-
-# 2. Create .env file (optional, for persistent config)
-cp .env.example .env
-
-# 3. Set environment variables
-export HEADLAMP_URL=https://your-headlamp-instance.com
-export HEADLAMP_TOKEN=$(kubectl create token headlamp -n kube-system)
-
-# 4. Run tests
-npm run e2e
-```
-
-## Debugging
-
-### Run in Headed Mode
-
-See the browser UI while tests run:
-
-```bash
-npm run e2e:headed
-```
-
-### Enable Debug Mode
-
-Step through tests with Playwright Inspector:
-
-```bash
-npx playwright test --debug
-```
-
-### Generate Trace
-
-Record full trace for failed tests:
-
-```bash
-npx playwright test --trace on
-npx playwright show-trace test-results/<test-name>/trace.zip
-```
-
-### Screenshot on Failure
-
-Tests automatically capture screenshots on failure in `test-results/`
-
-### Common Issues
-
-**Auth fails with "Sign In button not found":**
- Check HEADLAMP_URL is correct
- Verify Headlamp is accessible
- Ensure OIDC is configured if using Authentik
-
-**Polaris sidebar entry not found:**
- Plugin may not be installed: Check Settings → Plugins in Headlamp
- Plugin may have failed to load: Check browser console
- Clear browser cache and hard refresh
-
-**Cluster score not displayed:**
- Polaris may not have audit data yet
- Check Polaris is running: `kubectl -n polaris get pods`
- Verify service proxy: `kubectl get --raw /api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json`
-
-**Namespace table empty:**
- Polaris hasn't run audit yet (wait a few minutes)
- Check Polaris logs: `kubectl -n polaris logs -l app.kubernetes.io/name=polaris`
-
-## Writing New Tests
-
-### Example: Testing Plugin Settings
-
-```typescript
-test('plugin settings page shows Polaris configuration', async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto('/c/main/settings/plugins');
-
-  // Find and click Polaris plugin
-  await page.getByText('headlamp-polaris-plugin').click();
-
-  // Check settings are visible
-  await expect(page.getByText('Polaris Settings')).toBeVisible();
-  await expect(page.getByText('Refresh Interval')).toBeVisible();
-  await expect(page.getByText('Dashboard URL')).toBeVisible();
-});
-```
-
-### Example: Testing App Bar Badge
-
-```typescript
-test('app bar displays Polaris score badge', async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto('/c/main');
-
-  // Badge should be visible in app bar
-  const badge = page.getByRole('button', { name: /Polaris: \d+%/ });
-  await expect(badge).toBeVisible();
-
-  // Clicking should navigate to overview
-  await badge.click();
-  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/\/c\/main\/polaris$/);
-});
-```
-
-### Example: Testing Dark Mode
-
-```typescript
-test('plugin UI adapts to dark mode', async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto('/c/main/polaris');
-
-  // Toggle dark mode
-  await page.getByRole('button', { name: /theme/i }).click();
-
-  // Check background color changes
-  const body = page.locator('body');
-  await expect(body).toHaveCSS('background-color', 'rgb(18, 18, 18)');
-
-  // Plugin components should adapt
-  const sectionBox = page.locator('[class*="MuiPaper"]').first();
-  await expect(sectionBox).not.toHaveCSS('background-color', 'rgb(255, 255, 255)');
-});
-```
-
-## CI/CD Integration
-
-Tests run automatically in GitHub Actions on pushes to `main` and pull requests. See `.github/workflows/e2e.yaml` for workflow configuration.
-
-### Required Secrets
-
-Configure these in GitHub repository settings (Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions):
-
- `HEADLAMP_URL` (optional): Headlamp instance URL
- `AUTHENTIK_USERNAME` + `AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD` (for OIDC auth)
- OR `HEADLAMP_TOKEN` (for token-based auth)
-
-### Workflow Overview
-
-1. Checkout code
-2. Setup Node.js 20 with npm cache
-3. Install dependencies (`npm ci`)
-4. Install Playwright browsers (`chromium` only)
-5. Run auth setup (creates session in `e2e/.auth/state.json`)
-6. Run all E2E tests
-7. Upload artifacts on failure:
-   - `playwright-report/` - HTML test report
-   - `test-results/` - Screenshots, traces, videos
-
-### Manual Trigger
-
-You can manually trigger E2E tests from GitHub Actions:
-1. Go to Actions → E2E Tests
-2. Click "Run workflow"
-3. Select branch and run
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use semantic selectors**: `getByRole`, `getByText` over CSS selectors
-2. **Wait for visibility**: Use `await expect(...).toBeVisible()` instead of `waitForTimeout`
-3. **Keep tests independent**: Each test should work in isolation
-4. **Test user flows**: Complete journeys, not just page loads
-5. **Clean up state**: Close drawers/modals after tests
-6. **Use storage state**: Reuse auth across tests (already configured)
-7. **Parallelize carefully**: Currently disabled due to shared state
