fix(blueprints): align blueprint.yaml spec.version with Chart.yaml version (#817) (#819)
TestBootstrapKit_BlueprintCardsHaveRequiredFields was failing on main for
9 blueprints because their platform/<name>/chart/Chart.yaml version had
been bumped without a matching update to platform/<name>/blueprint.yaml
spec.version. The pre-existing failure forced 7 recent PRs to self-merge
with --admin, masking real CI failures.

Aligned spec.version to match Chart.yaml version on:

  cert-manager   1.1.1 -> 1.1.2
  flux           1.1.3 -> 1.1.4
  crossplane     1.1.3 -> 1.1.4
  sealed-secrets 1.1.1 -> 1.1.2
  spire          1.1.4 -> 1.1.7
  nats-jetstream 1.1.1 -> 1.1.2
  openbao        1.2.0  -> 1.2.14
  keycloak       1.3.1 -> 1.3.2
  gitea          1.2.1 -> 1.2.3

Verified locally:

  $ go test ./... -run TestBootstrapKit_BlueprintCardsHaveRequiredFields -count=1
  --- PASS: TestBootstrapKit_BlueprintCardsHaveRequiredFields (0.01s)
      ... all 10 sub-tests pass (cilium + the 9 above)

The existing test (tests/e2e/bootstrap-kit/main_test.go:145) is itself
the drift guardrail: it fails CI whenever Chart.yaml is bumped without a
matching blueprint.yaml bump. No additional script needed.

Closes #817 once verified on main.

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.
