fix(bp-cert-manager-powerdns-webhook,bp-catalyst-platform): staging ClusterIssuer for QA Sovereigns (Fix #123, LE rate-limit bypass) (#1339)
Root cause (qa-loop iter-1 wedge, 2026-05-10):
Let's Encrypt production hit the 5-certs/168h rate limit on
*.omantel.biz (retry after 2026-05-11 22:08 UTC). Cilium-envoy
could not get a wildcard cert -> console.omantel.biz TLS handshake
failed -> iter-1 Test Executor could not run. Customer Sovereigns
are unaffected (one cert per registered domain in their lifetime),
but QA Sovereigns wipe + re-provision dozens of times in a session
and exhaust the production ceiling within hours.
Fix (target-state, NOT workaround):
- bp-cert-manager-powerdns-webhook 1.1.0 ships a SECOND ClusterIssuer
(letsencrypt-dns01-staging-powerdns) alongside the existing
production one. Same DNS-01 webhook config (same PowerDNS endpoint,
same API key) -> only the ACME directory URL + account key differ.
Both ClusterIssuers are real cert-manager resources; LE treats them
as wholly independent issuers so a rate-limit hit on production
does NOT block staging issuance.
- bp-catalyst-platform 1.4.136 adds wildcardCert.useStaging (bool,
default false). When true, sovereign-wildcard-certs.yaml renders
Certificate(s) with issuerRef.name pointing at the staging issuer
instead of production.
- bootstrap-kit slot 13 wires WILDCARD_CERT_USE_STAGING via envsubst,
same passthrough pattern as QA_FIXTURES_ENABLED.
- catalyst-api auto-stamps wildcard_cert_use_staging="true" on QA
Sovereigns (Request.QATestEnabled=true) so the per-Sovereign
overlay flips both QA fixtures + staging certs from one wizard
toggle.
- tofu var wildcard_cert_use_staging propagates through main.tf
into the cloudinit postBuild.substitute block on both primary +
secondary regions.
Result:
cilium-envoy on a fresh QA Sovereign gets a staging-signed wildcard
cert in <2min (no production rate limit). curl -sk + Playwright
(ignoreHTTPSErrors:true) accept the cert; iter-1 Executor can run
within minutes of provision. Customer Sovereigns (QATestEnabled=
false) keep getting real-trusted production certs.
Per docs/INVIOLABLE-PRINCIPLES.md #4 (never hardcode): every ACME URL
+ issuer name is values-overridable. Operators wiring a private
staging ACME (e.g. internal Smallstep CA) override via per-Sovereign
overlay without rebuilding any Blueprint. Staging is the documented
LE pattern (https://letsencrypt.org/docs/staging-environment/), not a
band-aid.
_None directly -- infrastructure fix; bypasses Let's Encrypt 5/168h rate limit on QA Sovereigns by using staging ACME endpoint, enabling iter-1 to run within minutes of fresh provision_

Two ClusterIssuers — production AND staging (Fix #123, LE rate-limit)
|
||||
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
|
||||
This template renders TWO ClusterIssuers when both are enabled:
|
||||
|
||||
- letsencrypt-dns01-prod-powerdns (production LE — real-trusted
|
||||
certs, 5/168h rate limit per
|
||||
registered domain)
|
||||
- letsencrypt-dns01-staging-powerdns (staging LE — separate generous
|
||||
rate limits, certs are NOT
|
||||
real-trusted but `curl -sk`
|
||||
accepts them; intended for QA
|
||||
Sovereigns and bring-up so the
|
||||
production rate limit is never
|
||||
tripped during iteration)
|
||||
|
||||
Both ClusterIssuers reuse the same DNS-01 webhook config (same PowerDNS
|
||||
endpoint, same API key) — the ONLY difference is the ACME directory URL
|
||||
each one points at. cert-manager treats them as wholly independent
|
||||
issuers (separate ACME account keys, separate registration), so a rate-
|
||||
limit hit on production does NOT block staging issuance.
|
||||
|
||||
The active issuer for a given Sovereign is selected by chart consumers
|
||||
(typically bp-catalyst-platform's wildcardCert.useStaging gate, which
|
||||
flips `wildcardCert.issuerName` to the staging issuer's name when the
|
||||
Sovereign is QA-flavoured) — this chart simply makes both available.
|
||||
|
||||
Per docs/INVIOLABLE-PRINCIPLES.md #4 (never hardcode), both ACME
|
||||
directory URLs are operator-overridable via clusterIssuer.acmeServer
|
||||
(production) and clusterIssuer.staging.acmeServer (staging). The
|
||||
staging default is the canonical Let's Encrypt staging endpoint
|
||||
(https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory). A future
|
||||
operator wiring a private ACME staging server overrides via the
|
||||
per-Sovereign overlay without rebuilding this Blueprint.
|
||||
|
||||
The staging variant is gated by clusterIssuer.staging.enabled (default
|
||||
true so every Sovereign has a staging fallback ready). Operators that
|
||||
want production-only on a customer Sovereign flip
|
||||
clusterIssuer.staging.enabled=false in the cluster overlay.

# created empty by the chart's lookup-existing-target idempotency
|

# path (lookup returns nil on a fresh install → token bytes are
|
||||
# empty), and the post-install mint Job that was supposed to
|
||||
# populate it ran AFTER the Deployments had already crashed and
|
||||
# accumulated exponential back-off windows. Helm's 15m install
|
||||
# timeout lapsed before the Pods could pick up the patched token,
|
||||
# triggering uninstall-remediation → reinstall → loop.
|
||||
# Root cause (iter-1 wedge, 2026-05-10):
|
||||
# Let's Encrypt production hit the 5-certs/168h rate limit on
|
||||
# `*.omantel.biz` (retry after 2026-05-11 22:08 UTC). Cilium-envoy
|
||||
# could not get a wildcard cert → console.omantel.biz TLS handshake
|
||||
# failed → iter-1 Test Executor could not run. Customer Sovereigns
|
||||
# are not affected (one cert per registered domain in their lifetime),
|
||||
# but QA Sovereigns wipe + re-provision dozens of times in a session
|
||||
# and exhaust the production ceiling within hours.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# This is the chicken-and-egg ordering hazard documented in
|
||||
# docs/INVIOLABLE-PRINCIPLES.md #1 (waterfall, not iterative MVP):
|
||||
# credential bootstrap MUST land before the consumers it serves.
|
||||
# Fix:
|
||||
# - bp-cert-manager-powerdns-webhook 1.1.0 now ships a SECOND
|
||||
# ClusterIssuer (letsencrypt-dns01-staging-powerdns) alongside the
|
||||
# production one. Same DNS-01 webhook config, separate ACME account,
|
||||
# separate ACME directory URL (canonical LE staging endpoint).
|
||||
# Production rate limit is wholly independent of staging.
|
||||
# - This chart adds `wildcardCert.useStaging` (bool, default false).
|
||||
# When true, sovereign-wildcard-certs.yaml renders Certificates
|
||||
# pointing at the staging issuer instead of production. The
|
||||
# bootstrap-kit slot for QA Sovereigns sets this to true via the
|
||||
# same envsubst seam (${WILDCARD_CERT_USE_STAGING:-false}) the
|
||||
# other QA-only knobs flow through.
|

# - cilium-envoy then gets a staging-signed wildcard cert in <2 min.
|
||||
# `curl -sk` and Playwright (ignoreHTTPSErrors:true) accept it;
|
||||
# iter-1 Executor can run within minutes of a fresh provision.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Fix (chart-side, no app-code change required):
|
||||
# Move the entire token-bootstrap flow (Secret, ServiceAccount,
|
||||
# Roles, RoleBinding, Job) from `helm.sh/hook: post-install,
|
||||
# post-upgrade` to `helm.sh/hook: pre-install,pre-upgrade`. The
|
||||
# Secret is created at hook-weight=5; the mint Job at hook-weight=
|
||||
# 10. Helm runs the entire pre-install hook chain to completion
|
||||
# BEFORE applying any regular release resource. Result: when the
|
||||
# catalog / organization-controller Deployments are applied, the
|
||||
# Secret already carries a real PAT, the kubelet mounts it as
|
||||
# CATALYST_GITEA_TOKEN, and the Pods start cleanly on first try.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Defensive alignment in services/catalog/deployment.yaml: add
|
||||
# `optional: true` to the secretKeyRef so the wiring matches the
|
||||
# existing api-deployment + organization-controller convention
|
||||
# (cosmetic — the Secret always exists in the pre-install path,
|
||||
# but `optional: true` keeps kubelet from blocking Pod start
|
||||
# should any future reordering regress this).
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Lookup contract preserved: on upgrades, `lookup` returns the
|
||||
# existing Secret with the populated token, the template re-emits
|
||||
# the same bytes, and the mint Job's runtime check (`EXISTING_TOKEN
|
||||
# != ""`) short-circuits with exit 0. helm.sh/resource-policy: keep
