Chris Farhood f1feb5c2f7 feat: native Headlamp integration, TrueNAS API, docs, and CI for v0.2.0
Native Headlamp integrations:
- registerResourceTableColumnsProcessor: add Protocol/Pool/Server columns to
  native StorageClass table and Protocol/Volume Handle to PV table
- registerDetailsViewSection: inject TNS-CSI section into PV detail pages
- registerDetailsViewSection: inject driver role/status into tns-csi Pod pages
- registerDetailsViewHeaderAction: Benchmark shortcut on StorageClass detail
- registerAppBarAction: driver health badge (N/Nc M/Mn, color-coded)
- Trim sidebar from 6 → 4 entries (Overview, Snapshots, Metrics, Benchmark)

TrueNAS API integration:
- src/api/truenas.ts: ConfigStore-backed settings, WebSocket JSON-RPC client
  for pool.query (auth.login_with_api_key + pool.query)
- src/components/TnsCsiSettings.tsx: API key + server override settings UI
  with connection test button
- TnsCsiDataContext: fetch real pool stats (size/allocated/free/status)
- OverviewPage: three-tier pool capacity display (real data → error → metrics
  fallback)

Documentation:
- README, CHANGELOG, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY
- docs/: architecture, deployment (Helm), getting-started, user-guide,
  troubleshooting

CI:
- .github/workflows/ci.yaml: lint + type-check + test on PR/push
- .github/workflows/release.yaml: workflow_dispatch versioned release

# Benchmark Page
The Benchmark page provides an interactive storage benchmark runner using [kbench](https://github.com/longhorn/kbench) (the Longhorn storage benchmark tool based on FIO).
## What It Does
1. You select a tns-csi StorageClass, a namespace, a PVC capacity, and an access mode
2. The plugin creates a PVC and a Kubernetes Job that runs `yasker/kbench:latest`
3. FIO log output streams in real-time from the kbench pod
4. When complete, results are parsed and displayed as IOPS, bandwidth (MB/s), and latency (µs) cards
## Prerequisites
- RBAC permissions for Jobs and PVCs — see [RBAC Permissions](rbac.md)
- The target namespace must exist
- The selected StorageClass must support the chosen access mode
## Running a Benchmark
1. Navigate to **TrueNAS (tns-csi) → Benchmark**
2. Select a StorageClass from the dropdown (only tns-csi classes are listed)
3. Enter the target namespace (defaults to `default`)
4. Set PVC capacity (e.g., `10Gi`)
5. Choose access mode (`ReadWriteOnce`, `ReadWriteMany`, etc.)
6. Click **Run Benchmark**
The benchmark progress shows:
- Benchmark state (Starting, Running, Parsing Results, Complete, Failed)
- Live FIO log output as it streams from the pod
- Result cards once FIO completes
## Result Cards
When the benchmark completes, the plugin displays:
| Card | Metric |
| ---- | ------ |
| Read IOPS | Random 4K read I/O operations per second |
| Write IOPS | Random 4K write I/O operations per second |
| Read Bandwidth | Sequential read throughput (MB/s) |
| Write Bandwidth | Sequential write throughput (MB/s) |
| Read Latency | Average read latency (µs) |
| Write Latency | Average write latency (µs) |
## Stopping a Benchmark
Click **Stop** to cancel the running benchmark. The plugin will delete the Job and PVC.
If the page is closed or navigated away from during a benchmark, the Job and PVC will remain in the cluster with the label:
```
app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=headlamp-tns-csi-plugin
```
Clean them up manually:
```bash
kubectl delete jobs,pvc -n <namespace> \
-l app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=headlamp-tns-csi-plugin
```
## Resource Cleanup
The plugin automatically deletes the benchmark Job and PVC when:
- The benchmark completes successfully
- You click Stop
- The page component unmounts
## Protocol Notes
Different protocols have different performance characteristics:
| Protocol | Typical Use Case | Access Modes |
| -------- | ---------------- | ------------ |
| NFS | Shared storage, RWX workloads | RWO, RWX, RWOP |
| NVMe-oF | High-performance block storage | RWO, RWOP |
| iSCSI | Block storage | RWO, RWOP |
For NVMe-oF benchmarks, ensure nodes have the `nvme-tcp` kernel module loaded and the controller has a static IP.
