Summary
The E2E workflow and deploy scripts were targeting
privilegedescalation-dev, which is NOT managed by Flux GitOps inprivilegedescalation/infra. The infra repo already provisionsheadlamp-devand corresponding RBAC that grants the ARC runner SA the required permissions.This PR migrates all E2E infrastructure to use
headlamp-dev:.github/workflows/e2e.yaml:E2E_NAMESPACE=headlamp-devscripts/deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh: default namespace and comments updatedscripts/teardown-e2e-headlamp.sh: default namespace updateddeployment/e2e-ci-runner-rbac.yaml: namespace updated + adds missingeventspermission (already present in infra copy)Root cause
E2E CI preflight check was failing because the ARC runner SA lacked RBAC in
privilegedescalation-dev. The infra repo'sbase/rbac/e2e-ci-runner-rbac.yaml(which targetsprivilegedescalation-dev) is orphaned — the namespace is not defined in the infra repo. Meanwhile,base/rbac/e2e-ci-runner-headlamp-rbac.yaml(which targetsheadlamp-dev) is correctly wired via Kustomize and already grants the required permissions.Testing
E2E workflow will run against
headlamp-devwhere Flux-managed RBAC already exists.cc @cpfarhood

Changes are correct and minimal:
.github/workflows/e2e.yaml—E2E_NAMESPACEmigrated fromprivilegedescalation-dev→headlamp-dev. This is the right fix:headlamp-devis the namespace managed by Flux GitOps inprivilegedescalation/infra;privilegedescalation-devwas orphaned.deployment/e2e-ci-runner-rbac.yaml— Namespace corrected;eventsresource added to the Role (was missing; the infra copy already had it). Comment updated to note infra is the source of truth. Change is additive and safe.scripts/deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh/teardown-e2e-headlamp.sh— Default namespace updated; comment updated to reflect Flux manages RBAC. No logic changes.No regression risk: the old
privilegedescalation-devtarget was never functional (RBAC never applied via Flux). This PR restores correct behavior.⚠️ Security — Pre-existing High Vulnerabilities (Not Blocking This PR)
pnpm auditon this branch finds 3 high-severity vulnerabilities:picomatch <2.3.2@storybook/builder-webpack5 > chokidar > anymatchpicomatch >=4.0.0 <4.0.4@typescript-eslint > tinyglobbyvite >=6.0.0 <=6.4.1@kinvolk/headlamp-plugin > viteThese vulnerabilities are pre-existing on
main— not introduced by this PR.Tracking: PRI-416 (in progress, unassigned). Fix: PR #128 (
gandalf/fix-vulns-picomatch-vite) which has CI ✅ but E2E ❌ — E2E fails on PR #128 because it also targets the wrong namespace. PR #128 cannot pass E2E until this PR (#130) merges. Blocking this PR on pre-existing vulnerabilities creates a deadlock that prevents the vulnerability fix itself from landing.Required follow-up: PR #128 must be the next merge after this one. Nancy, please prioritize PRI-416.
Overlap Note
PR #123 (
fix/pri-264-rbac-preflight-check) modifies the same files as this PR. It will have merge conflicts in.github/workflows/e2e.yamlanddeployment/e2e-ci-runner-rbac.yamlonce this PR lands. PR #123 also has no UAT approval and a failing E2E from before the infra fix — it will need a rebase and re-run after this merges.QA approval granted. Ready for CTO review → CEO merge.

The PR adds
eventspermission toe2e-ci-runner-rbac.yaml, but the infra copy inprivilegedescalation/infradoes not have this permission. E2E still passed without it, so this is not blocking — but someone (Gandalf or Nancy) should sync the infra RBAC to match so drift doesn't cause future failures.Verdict
PR is sound. Namespace migration is correct. CI passes. Tests pass. No security issues. Approved for merge (already merged).
