Purpose

Following the Flux tutorial against OpenChoreo v1.2.0 or later, the oc-demo-projects Kustomization never becomes ready and no Doclet Project or Components are created. Since v1.2.0, Project.spec.type is required and the doclet Project does not set it, so the API server rejects it (spec.type: Required value) and Flux fails the whole Kustomization. Even with the type set, components would not deploy, because the cell namespace for each environment is now owned by a ProjectReleaseBinding and the sample has none.

A second report in the same issue is WorkflowRuns hanging at clone-source. The source git secret volume is required, so when the per-run ExternalSecret cannot sync (for example, no git-token in OpenBao), the pod waits forever on FailedMount, although the step is written to support public repositories without a token.

Approach

  • Add a namespaced ProjectType named default under namespaces/default/platform/project-types/, based on the getting-started ClusterProjectType. It is namespaced so the sample does not depend on OpenChoreo default resources, which the tutorial asks users not to install.
  • Set spec.type on the doclet Project to reference it.
  • Add doclet ProjectReleaseBindings for development, staging and production.
  • Mark the source-git-credentials volume optional: true in the docker, buildpacks and react templates. The GitOps credentials volume stays required, since pushing and opening PRs always needs that token.
  • Flux README: state that main requires OpenChoreo v1.2.0 or later and point earlier versions to the release-v1.0 branch, note which repository URLs stay on sample-workloads, add Step 5 checks for the ProjectType, Kustomizations, Project, ProjectReleaseBindings and Components, and add a Step 6.6 troubleshooting section for stuck WorkflowRuns.

Fixes openchoreo/openchoreo#4564

Checklist

  • Tests added or updated (unit, integration, etc.)
  • Samples updated (if applicable)

Remarks

Verified on a local k3d install (OpenChoreo 1.3, control, data and workflow planes):

  • Server-side dry run accepts every manifest under projects/ and the new ProjectType. Before the change the Project was rejected.
  • The Project, all three ProjectReleaseBindings and the nats and postgres ReleaseBindings became Ready, and pods ran in development and staging.
  • With no git-token in OpenBao, the original template hung at clone-source on FailedMount. With this change, document-svc and frontend cloned, built and pushed their images.
  • A full document-svc run against a fork completed all steps and opened the release PR. Applying that PR's manifests deployed document-svc into the doclet development namespace with its ReleaseBinding Ready.

Flux itself was not installed during the test, so the manifests were applied with kubectl.

This overlaps with #46, which also sets spec.type (to ClusterProjectType/default). That type only exists when OpenChoreo default resources are installed, which the tutorial asks users to skip.

Compatibility: after this change main no longer works on OpenChoreo 1.0.x or 1.1.x, because the ProjectType and ProjectReleaseBinding kinds and Project.spec.type only exist from v1.2.0. Flux would fail oc-demo-platform on the unknown kind and skip every platform resource. Today's main is the same commit as release-v1.0 (3bc6da5), so the pre-change content stays available there. There is no release-v1.1 branch. Maintainers may want to cut one from 3bc6da5 before merging, to keep the branch-per-release convention.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Doclet project now uses a default ProjectType and has development, staging, and production ProjectReleaseBindings. Three workflow templates retry source clones and allow the source Git credential Secret to be absent. The Flux tutorial adds setup checks and troubleshooting guidance.

Changes

Doclet GitOps setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Project environment setup
namespaces/default/platform/project-types/default.yaml, namespaces/default/projects/doclet/project.yaml, namespaces/default/projects/doclet/release-bindings/*
Adds the default ProjectType with configurable namespace labels and annotations. Updates the Doclet project to use that type and adds ProjectReleaseBindings for development, staging, and production.
Source clone retries and credentials
platform-shared/cluster-workflow-templates/argo/docker-with-gitops-release-template.yaml, platform-shared/cluster-workflow-templates/argo/google-cloud-buildpacks-gitops-release-template.yaml, platform-shared/cluster-workflow-templates/argo/react-gitops-release-template.yaml
Adds up to five OnFailure retries with exponential backoff to each clone-source template. Marks the source Git credential volume optional in all three templates.
Tutorial setup and troubleshooting
flux/README.md
Documents the OpenChoreo version requirement, distinguishes GitOps and application source repository URLs, adds platform and project-resource checks, and provides WorkflowRun and token troubleshooting steps.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fba98

A narrow source-checkout retry failure remains for pinned commits; clean the workspace before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to fba98

The change adds project-to-environment provisioning and permits public-source workflows to start without a source Git secret while preserving the separate GitOps credential path. No direct privilege, IAM, service-account, or secret-authority expansion is visible in the changed provisioning manifests.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The changed behavior reaches all three sample environments through ProjectReleaseBindings and affects three shared release workflow templates, but no direct expansion of runtime identity or secret authority is visible in the changed provisioning declarations.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The workflow configuration separates public-source checkout from GitOps mutation: source credentials become optional, while the documented GitOps token remains required for pushing branches and opening pull requests.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Namespace isolation is configured through project/environment bindings, but the available scope does not demonstrate whether generated namespaces and any downstream namespace-scoped credentials are cleaned up or safely re-associated across deletion, rollback, or recovery.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Establish and verify the controller lifecycle contract for generated namespaces and their namespace-scoped credentials across binding deletion, replacement, pruning, rollback, and repeated reconciliation.

Explanation

Issue #4564 requires a documented Project and Component prerequisite, repository URL guidance, dependency checks, and clone/checkout troubleshooting. flux/README.md provides the URL distinction, resource verification, ClusterSecretStore and ExternalSecret checks, and OpenBao key checks. It does not instruct users to apply namespaces/default/projects/doclet/ before Step 6. Its troubleshooting section does not show how to inspect the WorkflowRun pod or pod logs, verify the synchronized Kubernetes Secret, or check External Secrets Operator health. The PR adds retry behavior and optional source credentials, but those changes do not provide the missing documentation.

Resolution

Update flux/README.md before Step 6. Add kubectl apply -f namespaces/default/projects/doclet/ and Project and Component checks. Add commands to inspect the WorkflowRun pod and its logs. Add a safe check for the workflow ExternalSecret and resulting Kubernetes Secret without exposing token values. Add an External Secrets Operator health check.

OpenBao CLI kv metadata get command semantics and kv get field/property output

💡 Result:

`bao kv metadata get` and `bao kv get` answer different questions:

- **`bao kv metadata get -mount=secret creds`** is KV v2–only. It reads the key’s metadata endpoint and displays key-level settings (such as `current_version`, `max_versions`, and `custom_metadata`) plus per-version status (`created_time`, `deletion_time`, `destroyed`). It **doesn’t return the secret’s data values**. A missing key is an error. ([openbao.org](https://openbao.org/docs/next/commands/kv/metadata/?utm_source=openai))
- **`bao kv get -mount=secret creds`** reads secret data—by default, the latest version—and in the default table output also shows that version’s metadata. `-version=N` selects a version. KV v1 has no version metadata. ([openbao.org](https://openbao.org/docs/next/commands/kv/get/?utm_source=openai))

For field/property output, `kv get` supports **`-field=NAME`**, e.g.:

```sh
bao kv get -mount=secret -field=password creds
```

This prints just the named **data field’s value**, without a trailing newline. It takes precedence over `-format`. The documented `kv metadata get` options include `-format`, but not `-field`; so `-field` is not documented as a way to extract a metadata property such as `current_version`. ([openbao.org](https://openbao.org/docs/next/commands/kv/get/?utm_source=openai))

For structured output from `kv get`, use `-format=json` or `-format=yaml`; for a metadata property, parse the structured output of `kv metadata get -format=json` rather than assuming `-field` selects metadata. The cited CLI docs are the **Development/`next`** docs, so check `bao kv ... -h` for exact options in your installed version. ([openbao.org](https://openbao.org/docs/next/commands/kv/metadata/?utm_source=openai))

Check the token fields, not only KV metadata.

bao kv metadata get checks KV metadata. It does not check the git-token data field required by the ExternalSecrets, so it can succeed while that field is absent.

Use bao kv get -field=git-token and discard its output:

Suggested fix
-kubectl exec -n openbao openbao-0 -- bao kv metadata get secret/git-token
-kubectl exec -n openbao openbao-0 -- bao kv metadata get secret/gitops-token
+kubectl exec -n openbao openbao-0 -- bao kv get -field=git-token secret/git-token >/dev/null

OpenChoreo Workflow spec resources runTemplate execution order ExternalSecret readiness

💡 Result:

In the current **v1.3.x** docs:

- `spec.resources[]` holds supporting Kubernetes objects such as `ExternalSecret`; each entry has an `id`, optional `includeWhen`, and a CEL-rendered `template`.
- OpenChoreo creates those resources in the workflow plane **before workflow execution begins**. The docs do **not** say it waits for an `ExternalSecret` to become `Ready` or for its target `Secret` to exist. ([openchoreo.dev](https://openchoreo.dev/docs/v1.0.x/reference/api/platform/workflow/))
- `spec.runTemplate` is rendered into an Argo `Workflow`. Its task order is defined by the Argo workflow itself—for example, sequential `steps` groups run in order; parallel tasks can be placed in the same group. ([openchoreo.dev](https://openchoreo.dev/docs/platform-engineer-guide/workflows/overview/))

**Implication:** “resource created before execution” establishes creation order, not readiness gating. If an Argo task consumes the synced Secret immediately, the cited OpenChoreo docs don’t guarantee it will wait for ESO synchronization. Add an explicit readiness/wait step or otherwise gate the consumer, and verify behavior against your deployed OpenChoreo version.

- 2: https://openchoreo.dev/docs/platform-engineer-guide/workflows/overview/

Gate clone-source on source Secret readiness.

All three parent workflows create the source ExternalSecret, but none waits for its target Secret or git-token. OpenChoreo creates resources before execution but does not guarantee ExternalSecret synchronization before the Argo Workflow starts. Each clone-source checks the token file once and then performs the clone. A private repository can therefore fail during synchronization.

Add a readiness wait or retry before clone-source in each workflow. Preserve the unauthenticated path for public repositories.

Use shell-safe placeholders in both commands.

The shell parses <workflowrun-name> as redirection syntax, not as a placeholder. Copying either command can fail before it queries the WorkflowRun or ExternalSecrets. Use a shell-safe variable or show a concrete name and tell readers to replace it.

Suggested fix
-kubectl get workflowrun <workflowrun-name> -o yaml
+kubectl get workflowrun "document-svc-manual-01" -o yaml # replace with your WorkflowRun name
-kubectl get externalsecret -A | grep <workflowrun-name>
+kubectl get externalsecret -A | grep "document-svc-manual-01" # replace with your WorkflowRun name

Update both kubectl examples in the WorkflowRun and ExternalSecrets
troubleshooting instructions to use a shell-safe concrete name or variable, and
tell readers to replace it with their WorkflowRun name; do not use angle-bracket
placeholders that the shell interprets as redirection.

Clean /mnt/vol/source before each clone-source attempt.

When COMMIT is set and git fetch --depth 1 origin "$COMMIT" fails after git clone succeeds, set -e exits without removing /mnt/vol/source. The OnFailure retry reuses the workflow workspace PVC, so the next git clone sees a non-empty destination and fails before it can retry the fetch. Apply this edit to all three templates.

Suggested fix
+            rm -rf /mnt/vol/source

Update the clone-source step in each of the three release templates to remove
any existing /mnt/vol/source contents before attempting the clone, so a failed
fetch cannot leave the workspace PVC blocking the OnFailure retry.
