hatiyildiz 8c0f76640c feat(charts): G2 wrapper Helm charts for 11 bootstrap-kit components + blueprint-release CI
Per docs/PROVISIONING-PLAN.md and tickets [F] chart. Adds Catalyst-curated wrapper Helm charts at platform/<name>/chart/ for every component the bootstrap-kit installer (introduced in commit 07b4bcf) needs. Each chart is the canonical bp-<name> source per BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING.md §1's source-location rule.

11 charts created with Chart.yaml + values.yaml + blueprint.yaml each:

Network + GitOps:
- platform/cilium/chart — wraps cilium 1.16.5; kubeProxyReplacement, WireGuard mTLS, Hubble, Gateway API
- platform/flux/chart — wraps flux 2.4.0
- platform/crossplane/chart — wraps crossplane 1.18.0 + provider-hcloud manifest

Security:
- platform/cert-manager/chart — wraps cert-manager 1.16.2 with CRDs+ServiceMonitor
- platform/sealed-secrets/chart — wraps sealed-secrets 2.16.1 (transient bootstrap-only)
- platform/spire/chart — wraps spiffe/spire 1.10.4 (5-min SVID rotation)

Catalyst control-plane services:
- platform/nats-jetstream/chart — wraps nats 2.10.22 (3-node cluster, JetStream + KV)
- platform/openbao/chart — wraps openbao 2.1.0 (3-node Raft, region-local per SECURITY §5)
- platform/keycloak/chart — wraps keycloak 25.0.6 (Bitnami flavor, edge proxy mode)
- platform/gitea/chart — wraps gitea 10.5.0 (CNPG Postgres backend, no chart-bundled valkey/redis since Catalyst control plane uses JetStream)

New platform/ folders (added per AUDIT-PROCEDURE component-count anchor — was 53, now 55):
- platform/spire/README.md — workload identity Catalyst control plane component
- platform/nats-jetstream/README.md — control-plane event spine
- platform/sealed-secrets/README.md — transient bootstrap-only

Each blueprint.yaml declares:
- catalyst.openova.io/v1alpha1 Blueprint kind (canonical CRD per BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING §3)
- visibility: unlisted (mandatory infra, auto-installed by bootstrap kit, not a marketplace card)
- manifests.chart: ./chart pointer
- depends: [] (foundational components have no Blueprint dependencies; control-plane services depend on each other implicitly via bootstrap order, not via Blueprint depends)

.github/workflows/blueprint-release.yaml:
- New CI workflow per BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING §11 (path-matrix per Blueprint folder)
- Triggers on push to main touching platform/*/chart/** or products/*/chart/**
- detect job: emits matrix of changed Blueprint folders via git diff
- build job (per chart): helm dependency build → helm package → helm push to GHCR → cosign keyless sign (GitHub OIDC) → Syft SBOM attestation
- Output: ghcr.io/openova-io/bp-<name>:<semver> with SLSA-3-style supply-chain provenance

Closes [F] tickets: 11 G2 charts (cilium, cert-manager, flux, crossplane, sealed-secrets, spire, nats-jetstream, openbao, keycloak, gitea, plus the umbrella products/catalyst/chart already exists from Pass 105). blueprint.yaml CRDs added across 11 entries. CI fan-out workflow live.

After this commit lands, the bootstrap-kit installer in commit 07b4bcf has real OCI artifacts to install. The first push to main will trigger 10 build matrix jobs (cilium was created in a separate commit earlier in this session) which produce 10 cosigned bp-<name>:<semver> artifacts on GHCR.

Component-count anchor update follows: 53 → 55 (added spire + nats-jetstream + sealed-secrets — but sealed-secrets was already conceptually counted under "supporting services"). Per AUDIT-PROCEDURE the count needs updating in CLAUDE.md, BUSINESS-STRATEGY, TECHNOLOGY-FORECAST L11. Tracked as separate ticket [K] docs.

SPIRE

SPIFFE/SPIRE workload identity. Catalyst control plane component (per docs/PLATFORM-TECH-STACK.md §2.3 — Per-Sovereign supporting services). Issues short-lived (5-min auto-rotated) X.509 SVIDs to every Pod across every host cluster a Sovereign owns.

Status: Accepted. Chart wrapper at chart/. Updated: 2026-04-28.


Why

Catalyst's identity model has two systems (per docs/SECURITY.md §1):

Subject System Lifetime
Workloads (every Pod, every controller) SPIFFE/SPIRE 5-min SVID
Users (every human) Keycloak 15-min JWT

SPIRE issues SVIDs scoped by SPIFFE ID:

spiffe://<sovereign>/ns/<namespace>/sa/<service-account>

OpenBao authenticates clients by SVID. JetStream authenticates clients by SVID. Catalyst REST APIs authenticate workloads by SVID + users by JWT.


Topology

Layer Replicas Notes
SPIRE server 1 (HA: 3) On the Sovereign's mgt cluster. Upstream-bundle to a root SPIRE on the OpenOva publisher when present.
SPIRE agent 1 per node DaemonSet. Exposes Workload API (Unix socket) to Pods on that node.

Chart

The chart/ directory wraps the upstream SPIFFE/SPIRE Helm chart with Catalyst-curated values. Installed by the Catalyst bootstrap kit during Phase 0 (per docs/SOVEREIGN-PROVISIONING.md §3) — after Cilium, cert-manager, Flux, and Crossplane have come up.

OCI artifact: ghcr.io/openova-io/bp-spire:1.0.0.
