# NVCA Operator Chart Release Workflow

Propagates Helm chart changes through the native monorepo paths:

| Component | Path | Purpose |
|-----------|------|---------|
| NVCA source | `src/compute-plane-services/nvca` | Operator and agent source plus source chart at `deployments/nvca-operator/` |
| Vendored chart | `deploy/helm/nvca-operator` | Vendors the source chart, applies self-managed defaults, publishes `helm-nvca-operator` |
| Self-managed stack | `deploy/stacks/self-managed` | Control-plane Helmfile deployment and environment defaults |

## Workflow

1. Make source changes in `src/compute-plane-services/nvca` when operator,
agent, or source chart behavior changes. Test them there.
2. Vendor from the monorepo source chart at
`src/compute-plane-services/nvca/deployments/nvca-operator/`.
3. Set the version inputs, either in the environment or in
`deploy/helm/nvca-operator/.env`:

```bash
NVCA_OPERATOR_VERSION=<operator-image-tag>
NVCA_VERSION=<agent-image-tag>
NVCA_SHARED_STORAGE_IMAGE_TAG=<shared-storage-tag>
NVCA_OTEL_COLLECTOR_IMAGE_TAG=<byoo-otel-collector-image-tag>
```

`NVCA_OTEL_COLLECTOR_IMAGE_TAG` is normally left alone: it moves on its own
when `byoo-otel-collector` releases, driven by `tools/chart-version-bumper`
against the vendored chart directly rather than through this source-first
flow. Set it explicitly only when vendoring by hand; otherwise pass the
value already committed in `deploy/helm/nvca-operator/nvca-operator/values.yaml`
(`otelCollector.imageTag`) so an unrelated vendor run does not revert it.

4. Vendor and validate from `deploy/helm/nvca-operator`:

```bash
make vendor-chart
make lint
make template
make validate
```

5. If the chart is tested against a local self-managed control plane, render
stack-aware values and install from this chart subtree:

```bash
make render-values-from-stack stack_repo=../../../deploy/stacks/self-managed stack_env=local
make install-from-stack stack_repo=../../../deploy/stacks/self-managed stack_env=local
```

Use `additional_values=override.yml` for one-off validation. Do not edit the
stack just to test this chart.

## CI and Release

Umbrella CI is declared in `tools/ci/subproject-validations.yaml` with
subproject id `nvca-operator`. Do not add a chart-local `.gitlab-ci.yml`.

Run the repository-wide Helm validation used by CI:

```bash
tools/ci/check-helm-charts
```

## Local Image Testing

When testing local images in k3d, build them from `src/compute-plane-services/nvca`
and import them into the test cluster. Keep tags explicit and match them in the
chart values:

```bash
export NVCA_OPERATOR_VERSION=dev-local
export NVCA_VERSION=dev-local

# Run from src/compute-plane-services/nvca.
docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.nvca-operator \
-t nvca-operator:$NVCA_OPERATOR_VERSION .
docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.nvca \
-t nvca:$NVCA_VERSION .
```

Use the Bazel image-load targets for local images.

The README says the legacy Dockerfile path is retired, and neither referenced Dockerfile is tracked. These commands can fail in a clean checkout. Load the Bazel images and retag them to preserve the dev-local chart values:

Use the local-dev safety guidance before creating or deleting k3d clusters.

## Gotchas

- `make vendor-chart` overwrites the vendored `nvca-operator/` chart.
- Chart release generation depends on Conventional Commit semantics at the
umbrella level. Use `feat` or `fix` when a chart release is required.
- Keep `image.*`, `nvcaImage.*`, `ngcConfig.*`, and `selfManaged.*` values in
sync with the stack and source image tags.
- Never commit service keys, kubeconfigs, rendered secrets, or local registry
credentials.

## Values Flow

Two install paths, and only one of them renders values from a stack.

```text
nvca-operator/values.yaml the chart's own defaults
-> make install values=<path> the values file, used directly

stack environment
-> scripts/render_values_from_stack_env.sh stack-aware generated values
-> make install-from-stack the generated values
src/compute-plane-services/nvca/deployments/nvca-operator/ source chart
-> scripts/ci_vendor_nvca_operator_chart applies self-managed defaults
-> nvca-operator/values.yaml vendored chart values
-> scripts/render_values_from_stack_env.sh stack-aware generated values
-> make install or make install-from-stack optional additional overrides
```

Either accepts `additional_values=<path>` for further overrides.

## Permanent Defaults

Edit `nvca-operator/values.yaml` directly. There is one chart and no vendoring
step, so that file is the source of truth.
For defaults that every self-managed deployment should receive, edit
`scripts/ci_vendor_nvca_operator_chart` and re-vendor:

Only defaults that suit every consumer belong there. Values tied to one
deployment are supplied by whoever installs the chart:
```bash
make vendor-chart
git diff nvca-operator/values.yaml
```

The vendoring script already applies defaults such as:

- the compute-plane stack sets them under
`deploy/stacks/nvcf-compute-plane/`, including `nameOverride`,
`fullnameOverride` and `selfManaged.nvcaVersion`
- an ngc-managed install passes `ngcConfig.serviceKey` and the `helmManaged.*`
values on the command line
- `ngcConfig.clusterSource = "self-managed"`
- `ngcConfig.serviceKey = "dummy-api-key"`
- `image.tag` remains empty so templates use the published chart version
- `selfManaged.nvcaVersion = "$NVCA_VERSION"`
- `generateImagePullSecret = false`
- `selfManaged.sharedStorage.imageTag = "$NVCA_SHARED_STORAGE_IMAGE_TAG"`
- `nameOverride = "nvca-operator"`

Fix the listed vendoring defaults so they match ci_vendor_nvca_operator_chart.

Two listed defaults are wrong:

  • The script sets .ngcConfig.clusterSource = "ngc-managed" (script Line 204), not "self-managed". The vendored values.yaml keeps clusterSource: ngc-managed.
  • The script does not set generateImagePullSecret. The vendored chart inherits true from the source chart. tests/image_pull_secret_defaults_test.sh asserts that the pull secret is generated by default.

An agent that follows this list will assume the wrong cluster source and pull-secret behavior.

📝 Proposed fix 
-- `ngcConfig.clusterSource = "self-managed"`
+- `ngcConfig.clusterSource = "ngc-managed"`
 - `ngcConfig.serviceKey = "dummy-api-key"`
 - `image.tag` remains empty so templates use the published chart version
 - `selfManaged.nvcaVersion = "$NVCA_VERSION"`
-- `generateImagePullSecret = false`
 - `selfManaged.sharedStorage.imageTag = "$NVCA_SHARED_STORAGE_IMAGE_TAG"`

`image.tag` ships empty so templates fall back to `appVersion`, which the
release stamps at packaging time.

Make check-vendor-chart detect untracked files.

git diff --exit-code -- . reports only changes to tracked files. Suppose a new file is added to the source chart, for example a new template, and the vendored copy is not committed. vendor-chart creates that file as untracked, and this check still reports "Chart is synced". The GitHub job catches this later through git status --porcelain. A local make check-vendor-chart run does not.

Update the check-vendor-chart target’s Git cleanliness check to detect untracked
files as well as tracked changes, using git status scoped to the chart
directory; report any detected untracked files before failing while preserving
the existing tracked-diff check.

## Chart Layout

`deploy/helm/nvca-operator/nvca-operator` is the only chart. Edit it directly.

It is published on two lanes from this one source. The NGC lane renames it to
`nvca-operator` and injects the control-plane endpoints that cannot live in a
public repository. The OCI lane publishes it as `helm-nvca-operator`, which the
compute-plane stack pins.

The chart ships neutral defaults: values that belong to a particular deployment
are supplied by whoever installs it, not shipped as published defaults.
This subtree intentionally keeps a release chart even though the NVCA source
tree also contains a source chart:

- `src/compute-plane-services/nvca/deployments/nvca-operator` is the source
chart kept next to the operator and agent code. Use it when chart behavior is
coupled to NVCA code changes.
- `deploy/helm/nvca-operator/nvca-operator` is the NVCF release chart for
self-managed deployments. `make vendor-chart` regenerates it from the source
chart and then applies the release-specific defaults, chart name
`helm-nvca-operator`, version metadata, self-managed placeholder endpoints,
image defaults, supplemental image metadata, and license headers.
- Keeping both charts avoids a release chart that must reach back into the NVCA
source tree at publish time, while still making behavior changes start beside
the code they ship with.

Do not edit the vendored chart copy in isolation for source chart behavior.
Make the source chart change first, run `make vendor-chart`, and commit the
resulting release chart diff.
