New `deploy/charts/buzz/` Helm chart targeting two profiles selected by values: - Production (default): external Postgres/Redis/Typesense/S3 via `secrets.existingSecret`, no chart-side autogeneration, GitOps-safe (ArgoCD / Flux), HA-capable (`replicaCount >= 2` with Redis + RWX git PVC). - Quickstart (`--set quickstart=true`): CloudPirates Postgres + Redis subcharts, chart-managed Secret via `lookup`, single replica, evaluation only. Hard `fail` guards in `_validate.tpl` reject misconfigurations at template time: - missing `relayUrl` - `replicaCount > 1` without Redis or RWX git PVC - missing/malformed `ownerPubkey` when `requireRelayMembership=true` - `ingress.enabled` and `httproute.enabled` both true - missing Postgres or Typesense source `values.schema.json` rejects malformed types / enums at `helm install` time, before templates render — layered defense with `_validate.tpl`. Env wiring matches the project's decided contract: - `RELAY_OWNER_PUBKEY` (no `BUZZ_` prefix; matches `config.rs`) - `BUZZ_AUTO_MIGRATE=true` default — relies on the relay's embedded sqlx migrations (#988) - `BUZZ_RELAY_PRIVATE_KEY` is stable across redeploys via `secrets.existingSecret` (production) or the `lookup` pattern with `resource-policy: keep` (quickstart) Includes: - `examples/argocd-app.yaml`, `examples/flux-helmrelease.yaml`, `examples/secret-sample.yaml` — canonical GitOps configurations - `tests/*.yaml` — `helm-unittest` suites covering validation, secret wiring, and networking - `ci/quickstart-values.yaml` for `ct install` (kind, gated) - `tests/fixtures/*` for render-only matrix in CI - `.github/workflows/helm-chart.yml`: `ct lint` + `helm-unittest` + render matrix per-PR; full `ct install` is `workflow_dispatch` gated, runs once `ghcr.io/block/buzz` is publicly published Out of scope for this PR (intentional, per Eva's dispatch): - OCI chart publish + cosign signing → follow-up - In-chart Typesense subchart → bring-your-own for v1 (see README "Honest limitations") - Minimal-mode (`BUZZ_PUBSUB=local` / pg search / filesystem media) → upstream relay work Co-authored-by: Tyler Longwell <tlongwell@squareup.com> Signed-off-by: Tyler Longwell <tlongwell@squareup.com>
Per @max's review on PR #990: if an operator sets migrate.autoMigrate=false, the chart does not run migrations. Readiness only proves DB reachability, not schema freshness, so a pod can come up healthy against an unmigrated schema and fail under load. - NOTES.txt: add Degradation warning conditional on .Values.migrate.autoMigrate - README.md: sharpen the upgrade section to put operator responsibility front and center Verified: helm install --dry-run with migrate.autoMigrate=false renders the warning; default (true) stays silent. helm lint clean.

1. Add examples/ingress-cert-manager.yaml — a two-document file containing both a chart values fragment (ingress block with cert-manager annotations for the Let's Encrypt HTTP-01 flow) and a cluster-scoped ClusterIssuer manifest applied with kubectl. Helm reads only the first document; the second is for cluster operators. Closes the rubric-4 'TLS by default' gap without making cert-manager a chart dependency. 2. NOTES.txt: warn when secrets.relayPrivateKey or secrets.gitHookHmacSecret are set inline. Both are labeled 'NOT recommended' in values.yaml comments; a render-time warning makes the operator see it. Includes pointer to examples/secret-sample.yaml for the canonical fix. Verified: helm install --dry-run renders the cert-manager annotations correctly; inline-secret warning fires for one or both keys with proper comma joining; default install stays silent on both. helm lint clean.

values.yaml: expand 9 flow-style mappings (livenessProbe/readinessProbe/
startupProbe httpGet, resources requests/limits, securityContext
seccompProfile, containerSecurityContext capabilities, postgresql and
redis primary.persistence) to block style. The chart-testing default
yamllint config (lintconf.yaml) flags any spaces inside flow braces;
empty {} and [] forms are kept where they're idiomatic (podAnnotations,
nodeSelector, etc.) since those don't have inner-brace spacing.
.github/workflows/helm-chart.yml: SHA-pin the five third-party action
refs flagged by zizmor (unpinned-uses) and Semgrep:
azure/setup-helm@v4 -> 1a275c3b... # v4.3.1 (x2)
helm/chart-testing-action@v2.7.0 -> 0d28d314... # v2.7.0 (x2)
helm/kind-action@v1.10.0 -> 0025e74a... # v1.10.0
Matches the pinning pattern Sami established in .github/workflows/
docker.yml. actions/checkout and actions/setup-python were not flagged
(zizmor allowlists first-party actions/* refs) so left as-is.
Verified locally: ct.yaml + helm dependency build + helm template
against ci/quickstart, tests/fixtures/ha, and tests/fixtures/
production-existing-secret all render clean. helm lint clean.

…n suite helm-unittest 0.8.2 runs `failedTemplate` asserts per-template in the suite's `templates:` list. With multiple templates listed and `fail` firing from only one (e.g. serviceaccount.yaml's `include buzz.validate`), the assertion sees "No failed document" for the other-template scope and the test fails despite the overall render failing. Two fixes: 1. Scope `validation_test.yaml` to `templates/deployment.yaml` only. That's the entry point with `include "buzz.validate"`, sufficient to exercise every guard. Side benefit: positive renders that asserted `hasDocuments: count: 2` had the wrong number anyway (production profile renders 5 docs, not 2). 2. New `render_test.yaml` covers positive renders with the full template list — needed because deployment.yaml's checksum annotation does `include (print $.Template.BasePath "/secret-chart.yaml")`, which only resolves if secret-chart.yaml is loaded by the suite. Asserts target specific fields with per-assert `template:` instead of fragile document counts. Also adjusts the "ownerPubkey is not 64 lowercase hex" test to match the schema-validation error pattern, since values.schema.json's regex runs before template rendering and is the actual gate. Local: `helm unittest` → 19/19 passing across 4 suites. Co-authored-by: Tyler Longwell <tlongwell@squareup.com> Signed-off-by: Tyler Longwell <tlongwell@squareup.com>
…Secret The quickstart profile composed DATABASE_URL/REDIS_URL in the chart-managed Secret with chart-generated passwords, but the CloudPirates postgres/redis subcharts each generated their *own* independent passwords and bound their Services at names the URLs didn't match. Result: a default `helm install --set quickstart=true` brought pg/redis up but the relay could never authenticate (password mismatch) or, for redis, never resolve the host (`-redis-master` Service does not exist in standalone mode). - Point postgresql.auth.existingSecret / redis.auth.existingSecret at the chart-managed Secret (`<fullname>-relay`) with matching key names, so the servers initialize with the exact password the relay's URL embeds — one source of truth instead of two diverging randoms. - Fix the composed REDIS_URL host: standalone CloudPirates redis renders `<release>-redis`, not `<release>-redis-master`. - Correct two no-op persistence paths (redis.master.* / postgresql.primary.*) to the keys CloudPirates actually reads (redis.persistence / postgresql.persistence); the prior nesting was silently ignored. - Add a regression test asserting DATABASE_URL/REDIS_URL resolve to the real subchart Service hosts and never `-redis-master`. Verified live on a kind/docker-desktop cluster against the published ghcr.io/block/buzz:0.1.0 image: pg+redis 1/1, relay logs "Postgres connected", psql/redis-cli with the chart-secret passwords succeed (select 1 / PONG). The relay still CrashLoops on absent schema (relation "events" does not exist) because :0.1.0 predates the auto-migration code (#988) — connectivity is fixed; schema bootstrap lands with #988 + a re-cut image.

randAlphaNum 64 emits letters g-z, which are neither hex nor bech32, so
nostr::Keys::parse rejects the autogenerated BUZZ_RELAY_PRIVATE_KEY and the
relay crashes at startup with "invalid BUZZ_RELAY_PRIVATE_KEY". Pipe through
sha256sum to produce exactly 64 lowercase hex chars — a valid secp256k1 secret
key. Add a unittest asserting the autogen key matches ^[0-9a-f]{64}$ so the
bug can't regress.

The quickstart profile now stands up MinIO and Typesense in-cluster
alongside the existing Postgres + Redis subcharts, so the relay starts
with zero external services and passes its A3 S3 conformance probe. The
production profile leaves minio.enabled/typesense.enabled off and points
s3.endpoint + typesense.url (or BUZZ_S3_* / TYPESENSE_URL via
existingSecret) at managed services.
- values.yaml: minio + typesense.enabled/image/persistence blocks; pinned
MinIO image tags (minio:RELEASE.2025-09-07T16-13-09Z,
mc:RELEASE.2025-08-13T08-35-41Z); corrected the misleading quickstart
flag comments (it is an intent marker, not a behavior switch).
- templates: quickstart-minio{,.init}.yaml + quickstart-typesense.yaml
Deployments with bucket-create Job, existingSecret-conflict guards.
- _validate.tpl: typesense guard now keys on .enabled; added symmetric
S3-source guard (relay hard-fails its S3 probe without storage).
- _helpers.tpl: buzz.relaySelectorLabels (selectorLabels + component:relay)
scopes the relay Deployment/Service/PDB so they no longer match the
bundled MinIO/Typesense pods.
- NOTES.txt + README: document the bundled quickstart and external prod.
- tests: 28/28 across 6 suites — bundled render, S3/TYPESENSE_URL
composition, S3-missing + minio-existingSecret guards, selector isolation.
