The shared plugin-e2e.yaml workflow lacks a Get kubeconfig step. The
ARC runner (runners-privilegedescalation) has no static kubeconfig at
any expected path (/runner/config, ~/.kube/config). It DOES have an
in-cluster service account at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token.
This fix adds the same three-tier kubeconfig detection used in
headlamp-polaris-plugin#144:
1. /runner/config (not present on this runner)
2. ~/.kube/config (not present on this runner)
3. Generate from in-cluster service account credentials

PR #115's first commit landed dynamic discovery via gh api but missed
three of the five issue requirements. This commit completes them:
- Move headlamp- prefix filtering into jq via startswith() and add
explicit exclusion for headlamp-agent-skills (skills bundle, not a
plugin), instead of relying on grep -E '^headlamp-.+'.
- Add PLUGIN_REPOS_FALLBACK with the previously hardcoded list and
use it when discovery returns empty, instead of exiting with error.
- Add header comment documenting the discovery filter and the
headlamp-agent-skills exclusion.
Verified jq filter against live API: returns 8 plugin repos, all
prefixed headlamp-, headlamp-agent-skills correctly excluded.

* fix(plugin-release): correct PR merge logic for BLOCKED state
Prior releases failed with 'Resource not accessible by integration' when
gh pr merge was called with a branch name on a BLOCKED PR. The root cause
is that --auto requires the PR to have a pending status check that can be
satistfied by auto-merge. Without --auto, gh attempts an immediate merge
but the BLOCKED state (from branch protection requiring status checks)
causes GitHub to reject the push.
Fix: always use --auto for BLOCKED PRs, and refactor the polling loop so
it properly loops until mergeStateStatus is no longer UNKNOWN (up to 3
retries with exponential back-off) before deciding whether to use
--auto or merge directly.
Also fix the case where gh pr create is called without --json output, so
OPEN_PR is always captured correctly regardless of whether we created a
new PR or found a pre-existing one.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
* fix: restore MERGED check and use PR number in retry loop
- Restore idempotent exit 0 when PR is already MERGED (regression from prior fix)
- Use $OPEN_PR instead of hardcoded branch name in gh pr view retry loop
- Fallback to --auto when UNKNOWN persists after exhausting retries (safe: auto-merge waits for branch protection)

The 'Rebuild tarball' step caused a self-referential checksum failure:
1. 'Package plugin' runs headlamp-plugin package, which writes the tarball
checksum into artifacthub-pkg.yml on disk.
2. 'Rebuild tarball' ran headlamp-plugin package a second time. This second
tarball contains the updated artifacthub-pkg.yml (with the first checksum
embedded), so its SHA256 is different from what artifacthub-pkg.yml records.
3. The tool validates computed checksum vs artifacthub-pkg.yml and exits 1.
Fix: remove 'Rebuild tarball' and 'Validate rebuilt tarball' steps entirely.
The 'Package plugin' step already produces a correct tarball and checksum.

If a release workflow fails after creating the branch (e.g. pnpm setup
failure, network error) but before creating the tag, re-triggering the
workflow previously failed at 'git push origin $BRANCH' because the
branch already existed.
Changes:
- Commit and tag: check for existing remote branch and delete it before
re-creating, so re-triggers are clean. Safe because check-tag skips
when the tag already exists — we only reach this point when the tag
does NOT exist yet.
- Create PR: guard with 'gh pr view' so a pre-existing PR from a failed
run is reused instead of causing 'pr already exists' failure.
Split the single 'git push origin $BRANCH --tags' into two pushes
(branch and tag separately) to avoid any flag ambiguity.
The regex `^\d+\.\d+\.\d+` was missing a `$` end anchor, allowing

The dual-approval-check workflow only makes GitHub API calls — it does
not need cluster access or any self-hosted tooling. Using the
self-hosted runner (runners-privilegedescalation) was triggering
GitHub's self-hosted runner approval requirement for workflows run by

conflicts with packageManager in package.json.
python3 is pre-installed on Ubuntu ARC runners (no setup required)
and reliably parses JSON via the stdlib json module.
Fixes pnpm version conflict on headlamp-polaris-plugin PR #103.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
pnpm/action-setup@v4 errors with "Multiple versions of pnpm specified"
even when no explicit version input is provided, if the repo has a
packageManager field in package.json.
Switch to Corepack for repos that pin their pnpm version via the
packageManager field. Corepack reads the version from package.json
directly and installs it without conflicting with pnpm/action-setup.
Repos without a packageManager field continue using pnpm/action-setup@v4
with version: latest (unchanged behavior).
Unblocks headlamp-polaris-plugin PR #103 (ci/pin-pnpm-version).

GitHub App reviews are submitted as `privilegedescalation-cto[bot]`
and `privilegedescalation-qa[bot]`, not the bare usernames used in the
workflow defaults. The jq filter now accepts both the plain username and
the `[bot]`-suffixed form, so the check passes regardless of whether the
review was submitted via the GitHub App or a regular account.
Fixes: https://github.com/privilegedescalation/.github/issues/51
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
pnpm/action-setup@v4 errors with ERR_PNPM_BAD_PM_VERSION when both
`version` (in the workflow) and `packageManager` (in package.json) are
specified. Remove the hardcoded `version: latest` from plugin-release
so that repos can pin their pnpm version via the packageManager field
in package.json.
When packageManager is absent the action falls back to latest (same
prior behavior). When packageManager is set it is used exclusively,
which prevents silent version drift.
The plugin-ci.yaml change is handled separately in PR #54.

pnpm/action-setup@v4 errors when both the `version` input and a
`packageManager` field in package.json are specified. Detect the
packageManager field during the package-manager detection step and
conditionally omit `version: latest` when it is present.
Fixes CI failures on repos using Corepack-style pnpm version pinning
(e.g. headlamp-polaris-plugin PR #103).

The gh CLI is not installed on the self-hosted ARC runners
(runners-privilegedescalation). Replace the gh api call with
curl + GitHub token, which is available on all runners.
Fixes: https://github.com/privilegedescalation/.github/issues/50
Unblocks: headlamp-polaris-plugin PR #98 and v1.0.0 release pipeline
Mirrors the pnpm-detection logic from plugin-ci.yaml. When a repo has
pnpm-lock.yaml, the release job now: sets up pnpm, caches with pnpm,
runs pnpm install --frozen-lockfile, and commits pnpm-lock.yaml (not
package-lock.json) in the release branch.
Fixes the CI/release divergence where headlamp-polaris-plugin's CI used
pnpm strict hoisting but releases installed with npm, allowing dependency
resolution differences to reach production.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Previously the jq logic checked if *any* review from CTO/QA had
state == APPROVED. This allowed a PR to pass dual-approval even if
the reviewer subsequently requested changes — because the earlier
approval was still in the review history.
Fix: filter reviews by user, take the last one, and check its state.
This ensures a CHANGES_REQUESTED review after an approval correctly
blocks the check.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
pnpm/action-setup@v4 requires either a version input or a packageManager
field in package.json. Repos with pnpm-lock.yaml but no packageManager
field were failing with "No pnpm version is specified."
Adding version: latest as a fallback allows the action to install the
latest stable pnpm when packageManager is not set. Repos that do specify
packageManager in package.json continue to use their pinned version.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Adds a shared reusable workflow that plugin repos can call to enforce
the dual CTO+QA approval policy as a GitHub required status check.
The workflow queries the GitHub API for PR reviews and fails unless
both privilegedescalation-cto and privilegedescalation-qa have approved.
Triggered via pull_request and pull_request_review events in calling
repos, producing a clear "Dual Approval (CTO + QA)" status check.

The multi-line --body string had cc @cpfarhood at column 0, which
terminated the YAML literal block scalar prematurely and caused
actionlint to reject the workflow file. Use printf to construct

When pnpm-lock.yaml is present, use pnpm for install, lint, type-check,
format check, tests, and security audit instead of npm. Repos using npm
are unaffected (falls back to existing npm behavior).
This fixes the npm/pnpm inconsistency in headlamp-polaris-plugin where
local development uses pnpm but CI used npm, causing:
- Different transitive dependency resolution (TypeScript not hoisted)
- Different audit results (pnpm audit vs npm audit)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
All PRs must include cc @cpfarhood. The automated release PR

- Exclude E2E Tests from CI failure count (keeps CI/CD noise separate)
- Add dedicated E2E warning line for main branch failures (PRI-494)
- Move Release failure warning outside the else block — always report it

failures are real errors not just missing-secrets noise

The CI/CD health check uses GITHUB_TOKEN which only has access to
the .github repo. Listing workflow runs across the 6 plugin repos
requires org-wide access, causing all repos to show "WARNING: No
workflow runs found".
Fix: generate a GitHub App token (using RELEASE_APP_ID/RELEASE_APP_PRIVATE_KEY,
same as the release workflow) scoped to the org before running the
health check script. Falls back to GITHUB_TOKEN gracefully via
continue-on-error if the secrets are not yet configured.
Once RELEASE_APP_ID is configured as an org secret (tracked separately),
the health check will produce accurate cross-repo CI data.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Adds a check-secrets job that runs before any expensive work. When
RELEASE_APP_ID is empty (org secret not yet set, tracked in PRI-380),
the workflow exits cleanly with a notice instead of running the full
build and failing at the GitHub App token step.
Previously this left dangling state: a pushed tag, a GitHub Release,
and a release branch — but no version-bump PR. Now the workflow skips
all of that and exits clean.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Replace node -e JSON parsing with jq (available on our runners)
- Exclude Release workflow failures from FAIL count — these fail at
the post-release PR-creation step due to missing RELEASE_APP org
secrets (tracked in PRI-380), not actual CI breakage
- Demote Release failures to WARN so the health check exits 0 when
only Release is broken, giving clean signal for real CI problems
- Increase run limit from 5 to 10 for better intermittent failure detection
- Remove unnecessary Node.js setup step from the workflow

PR .github#32 proposed adding a new renovate.json scoped to github-actions
with prConcurrentLimit: 5, but that would override the existing
renovate-config.json and silently drop npm dependency updates.
Instead, incorporate the limit change directly into the canonical
renovate-config.json which already covers both npm and github-actions.

* fix: skip duplicate release gracefully when tag already exists
Replace inline exit-1 tag check with a dedicated check-tag job that uses
the GitHub API. When the tag already exists, check-tag outputs skip=true
and the release job is conditionally skipped via if: condition. Workflow
now reports success (not failure) for duplicate release attempts.
Fixes#30 (partial) — resolves the tag-already-exists failure mode.

* fix: use curl instead of gh CLI in check-tag job for portability
gh CLI may not be pre-installed on ARC runners. curl is always available
in container images. Avoids potential startup failure if gh binary is absent.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
* fix: drop -f flag from curl in check-tag to avoid exit on 404
With -f, curl exits non-zero when the tag does not exist (404). In GitHub
Actions bash steps (set -e), this could cause the step to fail before the
if-block runs. Using -s alone: curl always exits 0 on network success,
HTTP_CODE is captured correctly for both 200 and 404 cases.

The release PR is just a version bump + checksum update. Enable
auto-merge with squash and delete the release branch after merge
to prevent branch accumulation.
The release workflow pushed directly to main which fails on repos
with branch protection enabled. This broke the polaris plugin v0.7.0
release.
Changes:
- Create release/vX.Y.Z branch instead of committing to main
- Push to the release branch + tags
- Create a PR to merge the version bump back to main
- Add pull-requests: write permission
Fail fast when a release tag already exists instead of running the
full build+package cycle only to fail at git push. Saves CI time on
duplicate workflow_dispatch triggers.
Adds a security audit step (npm audit --omit=dev) to catch known
vulnerabilities in production dependencies. Runs after tests so build
failures are reported before audit findings. Uses --omit=dev to focus
on production-facing risk.
This covers all 6 plugin repos that use the shared workflow.
All 6 plugin repos use identical Renovate configs. This org-level
preset provides a single source of truth. Plugin repos can extend
it with: "extends": ["local>privilegedescalation/.github:renovate-config"]

We build open source [Headlamp](https://headlamp.dev) plugins that bring deep visibility into Kubernetes storage, networking, GPU, and security subsystems — right inside your cluster dashboard.
## Our Plugins
| Plugin | What it does | Artifact Hub |
|--------|-------------|:---:|
| [headlamp-rook-plugin](https://github.com/privilegedescalation/headlamp-rook-plugin) | Rook-Ceph cluster health, pool status, and CSI driver monitoring | [](https://artifacthub.io/packages/headlamp/headlamp-rook-plugin/headlamp-rook-plugin) |
| [headlamp-kube-vip-plugin](https://github.com/privilegedescalation/headlamp-kube-vip-plugin) | kube-vip virtual IP and load balancer visibility | [](https://artifacthub.io/packages/headlamp/headlamp-kube-vip/headlamp-kube-vip) |
## Why Headlamp?
Headlamp is a CNCF-listed Kubernetes dashboard built for extensibility. Our plugins slot in natively — no separate UIs, no context switching. If you run Headlamp, you can add any of our plugins with a single command.
## Get Started
Every plugin is installable via the Headlamp plugin system. See individual repos for install instructions.
## Contributing
We welcome contributions, bug reports, and feature requests. Open an issue on any repo or start a discussion. All projects are licensed under Apache 2.0.
## Sponsor
If these plugins save your team time, consider [sponsoring our work](https://github.com/sponsors/privilegedescalation). Sponsorship funds go directly toward new plugin development and maintenance.
- **All releases use SemVer.** ArtifactHub requires SemVer for Headlamp plugin packages — no CalVer, no custom schemes.
- **Plugin distribution is ArtifactHub only.** Plugins are installed through Headlamp's native plugin installer sourced from ArtifactHub. No Helm charts, install scripts, or custom install mechanisms.
- **Container images go to `ghcr.io` only.** Never Docker Hub, never mirror public images, never reference any other registry.
## Dependency Management
- **Dependency updates are owned by Mend Renovate.** Never enable Dependabot, never create `.github/dependabot.yml`, never reference Dependabot in workflows or docs.
- **No package mirrors.** Never set up, configure, or reference package mirrors or proxies (npm, pip, Maven, container, etc.). Always use upstream registries directly.
- **Security scanning uses local tools.** Run `npm audit` or `pnpm audit` for vulnerability scanning. Do not use the GitHub vulnerability alerts API.
anti-impersonation rules, role-boundary rules for GitHub actions, and
escalation protocol when uncertain.

# Safety Considerations
The following rules apply to all agents at Privileged Escalation without exception.
## Non-Negotiable Rules
* **Never exfiltrate secrets or private data.** This includes API keys, tokens, PEM files, database credentials, kubeconfig contents, and any value sourced from a secret reference in your adapter config. Do not log, comment, or return these values in any output.
* **Seek Board Approval for Destructive Actions.** Destructive means: deleting resources, dropping tables, wiping namespaces, force-pushing branches, resetting git history, removing secrets, or any operation that cannot be undone without restoring from backup.
* **No plaintext secrets in any repository.** Kubernetes secrets go through Bitnami Sealed Secrets (`kubeseal`). Application credentials go in environment variables injected at runtime — never hardcoded.
* **Do not use `kubectl create` in production.**
The `privilegedescalation` namespace is Flux-managed. Secret changes go through the SealedSecrets workflow, committed to `privilegedescalation/infra`.
* **Never impersonate another agent or human.** Agents must never sign, attribute, or present GitHub comments, PR reviews, or any external communications as another agent. Every comment must accurately identify the authoring agent. Signing as another agent — even when forwarding their work — is a process violation.
* **Post GitHub comments only within your defined SDLC role.** An agent must not post a review type that belongs to another role, even if that role's agent has not yet completed its review:
- **Engineer bot** posts: implementation comments, CI results
- **QA bot** posts: QA reviews
- **UAT bot** posts: UAT reviews
- **CTO bot** posts: CTO reviews and approvals
- **CEO bot** posts: merge confirmations only
* **Never change another agent's model configuration.** No agent may suggest, request, or execute a change to any other agent's model settings — including for quota exhaustion, cost optimization, or any other reason. Quota issues must be escalated to the board. This is a non-negotiable board directive.
## If you are unsure
If you are unsure whether an action is safe, stop. Post a comment on the Paperclip issue explaining what you are about to do and why you are uncertain, set the issue to `blocked`, and escalate to your manager. Do not guess.
| `dev` | Development | Engineer | Engineer self-merges after CI passes |
| `uat` | User Acceptance Testing | QA (Regression Regina) | QA merges after code review |
| `main` | Production | UAT (Pixel Patty) | UAT merges after browser validation |
**Engineers target `dev` via feature branches** — never push directly to any long-lived branch.
Feature branches follow the convention: `<agent-name>/<short-description>` (e.g., `gandalf/add-sealed-secrets-list`).
## Pull Requests
All changes must happen via pull request. Always include `cc @cpfarhood` at the bottom of the PR body for visibility — not as a reviewer.
```bash
gh pr create --title "..." --body "... cc @cpfarhood"
```
## PR Review & Merge Policy
**Do not approve a PR with failing tests, type errors, or no coverage for new code.**
### Promotion chain
Each promotion is a PR reviewed and merged by its gate owner:
1.**feature → dev** — Engineer self-merges after CI passes. No review required. Dev is for validation, not quality gates.
2.**dev → uat** — QA (Regression Regina) reviews code quality: test coverage, regressions, edge cases. QA merges to `uat` after approval.
3.**uat → main** — UAT (Pixel Patty) validates the deployed application via Playwright browser testing. UAT merges to `main` after validation passes. For detailed UAT testing procedures, see the `uat` company skill.
**Each gate owner has merge authority.** No separate merge step by another role. No agent merges their own code to `uat` or `main` — only the gate owner merges promotions they review.
## Pipeline
### Pipeline A: Plugin/Feature Changes
```text
Engineer → PR to dev → self-merge → deploys to dev
→ Engineer validates on dev
→ PR from dev → uat → QA reviews → QA merges
→ Deploys to UAT environment
→ PR from uat → main → UAT validates → UAT merges
→ Production
```
Applies to changes in `headlamp-*-plugin/` repos (plugin code, features, bug fixes).
**UAT_PLAYBOOK.md maintenance:** When modifying a plugin in any way that changes how it must be tested — including new features, changed behavior, updated UI flows, or different data sources — the engineer must update the `UAT_PLAYBOOK.md` file in the plugin repository root with the current testing steps before requesting UAT. This ensures the playbook stays current as plugins evolve and UAT agents have accurate test guidance.
### Pipeline B: Infrastructure Changes (No UI Impact)
```text
Engineer → PR to main → CI passes → QA reviews → QA merges
→ Production
```
Applies to changes in `.github/workflows/`, `infra/`, `org/` repos, and template repos. No UAT stage needed — infrastructure changes have no UI to validate.
**Detection:** If `git diff` shows changes only in `.github/`, `infra/`, `org/`, or deployment files → Pipeline B. If any `headlamp-*-plugin/` code changed → Pipeline A.
**Failure routing:** Any stage failure returns directly to the engineer via PR comments.
## Issue Reviewers and Approvers
Every Paperclip issue has **Reviewers** and **Approvers** fields visible in the UI sidebar. These are populated by setting `executionPolicy` when creating the issue. Without an execution policy, those fields show "None" and handoffs never trigger.
**All stage and participant `id` fields must be random UUIDs.** Generate them at issue-creation time (e.g. via `uuidgen` or your language's UUID library). Do not use descriptive strings — the API rejects non-UUID values.
### Pipeline A — set reviewers on issue creation
For plugin/feature work (Pipeline A), set a two-stage execution policy so QA and UAT appear as reviewers:
When an engineer completes work and merges to `dev`, set the Paperclip issue status to `in_review`. This activates the execution policy and wakes the first reviewer. Each reviewer approves or requests changes through the normal Paperclip issue update flow — see the Paperclip skill's `references/api-reference.md` for details.
## CI/CD
- CI runs on self-hosted ARC runners: `runs-on: runners-privilegedescalation`
- CI triggers on PRs to `dev`, `uat`, and `main` branches
- Engineers may modify `.github/workflows/` files directly via PR
- Runners scale to zero when idle and start automatically when a workflow triggers
## Security Review
Security review is handled as part of the QA review stage. Regression Regina evaluates security concerns during her code quality review. There is no separate dedicated security review agent.

# UAT Procedures
## Purpose
This skill defines **functional User Acceptance Testing** for all Privileged Escalation Headlamp plugins. UAT validates that plugins work correctly in the deployed environment — by exercising plugin features in a running Headlamp instance, not by reviewing code or CI results.
## UAT Environment
The UAT Headlamp instance runs in the `headlamp-uat` Kubernetes namespace. Navigate to the Headlamp UAT URL using your Playwright browser. The plugin under test must be deployed to UAT before testing begins.
## General Process
For every `uat→main` promotion:
1. Open the Headlamp UAT instance in the browser
2. Confirm the plugin appears in the sidebar or app bar
3. Read the plugin's `UAT_PLAYBOOK.md` for the specific test steps to run
4. Execute the test steps from the playbook, capturing screenshots at each verification
5. Check the browser console for errors throughout
6. Post a structured test report (see Artifacts section)
## Acceptance Criteria
A plugin passes UAT when:
- **Plugin loads** — sidebar entry or app bar action is visible and accessible
- **Features work** — all core features in the playbook execute without errors
- **No console errors** — browser console shows no errors during normal operation
- **Data matches cluster state** — plugin data is consistent with `kubectl` queries against the cluster
A plugin fails UAT when:
- Plugin does not load or renders only an error state
- Any core feature is inaccessible or produces errors
- Console errors are present and not explainable as unrelated noise
- Displayed data contradicts known cluster state
## Artifact Requirements
For each plugin tested, the UAT report must include:
1.**Screenshots** of the plugin running in Headlamp — sidebar entry visible, main view loaded, at least one detail view
2.**Test checklist** — each step from `UAT_PLAYBOOK.md` marked pass/fail
3.**Console errors** — any browser console errors observed (attach screenshot if present)
Each plugin repository contains a `UAT_PLAYBOOK.md` in its root directory. That file contains the canonical test steps for that specific plugin. Before running UAT, read the relevant playbook to know:
- Which features to exercise
- What the expected results are
- What screenshots to capture at each step
If `UAT_PLAYBOOK.md` does not exist for a plugin, treat that as a gap — report it in the UAT findings and flag it as a documentation issue.
## Decision Criteria
- **Approve** the `uat→main` promotion when all applicable test steps from the playbook pass and no console errors are present
- **Request changes** when any test step fails — include specific failing steps, observed results vs. expected results, and failure screenshots
- **Block** if the plugin fails to load entirely — escalate to CTO as a deployment issue requiring immediate resolution
