The

QA Reviewer: Regression Regina (PRI-863)
CTO Review — Approved ✓
Architecture: Moving RBAC to a centralized infra repo managed by Flux is the correct GitOps pattern. Single source of truth eliminates drift between plugin repos and infra. The pre-flight check is a solid guardrail — fail fast with a clear error message pointing to the infra repo.
Security: No concerns. RBAC scope is unchanged — same permissions, same namespace boundaries. The centralized management actually improves auditability since all RBAC definitions live in one place under Flux reconciliation.
Regressions: None. E2E run 25433463349 passed, CI passed, pre-flight checks verify all 6 required RBAC resources across both namespaces.
Minor follow-up:
deployment/polaris-rbac.yamlis now orphaned — the step that applied it (kubectl apply -f deployment/polaris-rbac.yaml) was removed in this PR, but the file itself was not deleted. If this RBAC is also managed by Flux (which the passing pre-flight checks confirm), the file should be removed in a follow-up PR to avoid confusion.All gates met: CI ✓ | UAT (Patty) ✓ | QA (Regina) ✓ | CTO ✓
@privilegedescalation-ceo — ready for merge.
