e3mrah a8931db541 fix(ci): sync stale blueprint.yaml versions + soften push-mode pin-sync race (Closes #1849 ) (#1855 ) Two disjoint regressions stack-failed test-bootstrap-kit.yaml on every push to main: 1. manifest-validation — TestBootstrapKit_BlueprintCardsHaveRequiredFields asserts platform/<bp>/blueprint.yaml spec.version == chart/Chart.yaml version. Six blueprints had drifted: cilium (1.3.0->1.3.5), cert-manager (1.2.0->1.2.2), flux (1.2.0->1.2.2), openbao (1.2.14->1.2.16), keycloak (1.5.0->1.4.5 — blueprint led chart, sync to authoritative Chart.yaml), gitea (1.2.5->1.2.7). Chart.yaml is canonical (drives bootstrap-kit pin -> Sovereign install); blueprint.yaml gets resynced down/up to match. 2. pin-sync-audit on push — full-sweep audit races the blueprint-release auto-bump hook. Chart-bump merge commit has chart=N pin=N-1 drift until the auto-bump bot commits the pin update ~60s later; the bot push (GITHUB_TOKEN convention) does not retrigger this workflow, so the failure remains in run history. Fix: set continue-on-error: true on push/workflow_dispatch events (PR remains blocking via --changed-only). The full-sweep output still surfaces drift on the run summary; it just doesn't fail the overall run while the heal-in- ~60s window is open. Documented inline in the job header. Net effect: every push to main re-runs cleanly green. The 13 pre-existing drifts called out in the existing job comment will continue to heal as each lagging chart gets its next bump (auto-bump hook + this PR's manifest-validation alignment). Refs PRs #1666 #1687 #1695 #1698 #1706 #1707 (the manual collector PRs TBD-A6 eliminated for bootstrap-kit pins; this PR extends the convergence to blueprint.yaml versions which the test asserts but the auto-bump hook does not yet update).

cert-manager

TLS certificate automation. Per-host-cluster infrastructure (see docs/PLATFORM-TECH-STACK.md §3.3) — runs on every host cluster a Sovereign owns.

Status: Accepted | Updated: 2026-04-27

Overview

cert-manager provides automated TLS certificate management using Let's Encrypt with automatic renewal and Kubernetes-native integration.

Challenge Types

Challenge	Use Case	DNS Provider
HTTP-01	Public endpoints	Not required
DNS-01	Wildcards, internal	Cloudflare, Route53, etc.

Recommended: DNS-01 for wildcard certificates

Configuration

ClusterIssuer (Let's Encrypt)

apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
  name: letsencrypt-prod
spec:
  acme:
    server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    email: admin@<domain>
    privateKeySecretRef:
      name: letsencrypt-prod-key
    solvers:
      - dns01:
          cloudflare:
            apiTokenSecretRef:
              name: cloudflare-api-token
              key: api-token

Certificate

apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: Certificate
metadata:
  name: wildcard-cert
  namespace: cilium-gateway
spec:
  secretName: wildcard-tls
  issuerRef:
    name: letsencrypt-prod
    kind: ClusterIssuer
  dnsNames:
    - "*.<domain>"
    - "<domain>"

Gateway API Integration

cert-manager integrates with Cilium Gateway API:

apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Gateway
metadata:
  name: main-gateway
  namespace: cilium-gateway
spec:
  gatewayClassName: cilium
  listeners:
    - name: https
      protocol: HTTPS
      port: 443
      tls:
        mode: Terminate
        certificateRefs:
          - name: wildcard-tls

Renewal

Setting	Value
Renewal window	30 days before expiry
Check interval	24 hours
Retry interval	1 hour on failure

cert-manager automatically renews certificates before expiration.

Monitoring

Metric	Description
`certmanager_certificate_expiration_timestamp_seconds`	Certificate expiry time
`certmanager_certificate_ready_status`	Certificate readiness
`certmanager_http_acme_client_request_count`	ACME requests
