Slice Z bundles three small flags surfaced during EPIC-1..6 implementation
into one PR; each is <50 LOC, none blocks shipping individually.
Z1 — K-Cont-2: surface status.lastLuaRecord after PDM commit
- Continuum reconciler's runSwitchover wraps PDMCommit so a successful
/v1/lua/commit patches Continuum.status.lastLuaRecord with the
records-array shape U-DR-1's LuaRecordView already parses (records[].body).
- status.lastLuaRecordAt stamped server-side (RFC3339); rollbacks
re-track to rolled-back records ("status reflects what PDM has").
- CRD extended: explicit status.lastLuaRecord (records[].{hostname,body,
ttl,primaryRegion}) + status.lastLuaRecordAt fields. Server-side
apply confirmed.
Z2 — EPIC-1 score aggregator → U-Fleet alerts count
- ComplianceHandler.SovereignAlertCount(clusterID) — len(violationsFor(
clusterID, "")) with nil-tolerant receiver. Returns the per-cluster
failing (resource, policy) pair count from the existing aggregator.
- summarizeSovereign() reads it instead of returning the alerts: 0
placeholder. h.compliance unwired → 0 (dashboard stays green when
the aggregator isn't wired).
Z3 — Gitea PR write seam for YamlEditor flux-managed branch
- gitea.Client.CreatePullRequest + findOpenPR: typed PullRequest shape,
409 race re-fetches existing PR (mirrors EnsureRepo pattern). Repo
404 → ErrRepoNotFound.
- gitea.Client.EnsureBranch promoted to GiteaBlueprintClient interface
(was already on Client).
- POST /api/v1/sovereigns/{id}/blueprints/edit-pr — body {org, path,
content, message, title}. Auth: applicationInstallCallerAuthorized
(tier-admin or higher), mirrors /publish. Branch name deterministic
per (path, content-hash) — same edit re-targets the same PR via 409
fallback. EnsureBranch + PutFile + CreatePullRequest against
<org>/shared-blueprints. 503 when Gitea unwired; 400 on bad input;
404 when repo missing.
- UI: editPRBlueprint in catalog.api.ts. YamlEditor's flux Apply
branch posts to /blueprints/edit-pr → renders prURL link
([data-testid=yaml-editor-pr-link]). Org slug derived from
catalyst.openova.io/organization label with namespace fallback.

OpenOva Catalyst
A self-sufficient Kubernetes-native platform. Published as signed OCI Blueprints. Deployable as your own Sovereign.
Catalyst is the open-source platform built by OpenOva. It turns any Kubernetes cluster into a Sovereign: a self-contained control plane that hosts Organizations, Environments, and Applications via GitOps + Crossplane, with a unified UI/Git/API for users.

docs/IMPLEMENTATION-STATUS.mdfor what exists today vs what is design.
The model in 60 seconds
OpenOva (the company) publishes Catalyst (the platform).
A deployed Catalyst is called a Sovereign.
A Sovereign has:
- Organizations (multi-tenancy unit)
- Environments (org-scoped, env-typed: prod/stg/uat/dev/poc)
- Applications (installed Blueprints)
- Blueprints (the App Store catalog — public + Org-private)
Users install Applications from Blueprints into Environments.
Blueprints can depend on Blueprints (arbitrary depth).
Each Environment is one Gitea repo + one or more vclusters.
Every state change is a Git commit.
Every UI surface reads from a single CQRS projection.
Same code runs in every Sovereign:
- openova (run by us; SaaS Organizations)
- omantel (run by Omantel; SME Organizations across Oman)
- bankdhofar (run by the bank; internal Organizations)
- your-company (run by you, on infrastructure you choose)
See docs/GLOSSARY.md for every term, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the full picture.

Each folder under platform/ and products/ is the source of one Blueprint, published from CI as a signed OCI artifact at ghcr.io/openova-io/bp-<name>:<semver> (the bp- prefix is added to the OCI artifact name; folder names stay short). Per-folder isolation is provided at the OCI artifact layer, not the Git repo layer — this is a monorepo with per-Blueprint fan-out, not a meta-repo of separate Git repositories. See docs/BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING.md §2 for the folder layout contract.
Today, the 12-component bootstrap kit (cilium, cert-manager, flux, crossplane, sealed-secrets, spire, nats-jetstream, openbao, keycloak, gitea, powerdns + the bp-catalyst-platform umbrella under
products/catalyst/) ships with fullchart/+blueprint.yamlperdocs/IMPLEMENTATION-STATUS.md§7, plusproducts/axon/and theexternal-dnsleaf chart. The remaining 45 platform components and thecortex / fabric / fingate / relayproduct folders are design-stage — README only — until each lands its Blueprint manifest, chart, Compositions, and CI fan-out.

| Multi-tenancy | vcluster (one per Organization per host cluster) |
| Identity (workloads) | SPIFFE/SPIRE (5-min rotating SVIDs, mTLS everywhere) |
| Identity (users) | Keycloak (per-Org for SME, per-Sovereign for corporate) |
| Secrets | OpenBao (Apache 2.0; independent Raft per region, no stretched cluster) + External Secrets Operator |

| DNS | PowerDNS authoritative per Sovereign zone + DNSSEC + lua-records (ifurlup, pickclosest); pool-domain-manager allocates pool subdomains and flips parent-zone NS via registrar adapters (Cloudflare / Namecheap / GoDaddy / OVH / Dynadot) — see docs/MULTI-REGION-DNS.md, docs/PLATFORM-POWERDNS.md |

Cloud providers
| Provider | Status |
|---|---|
| Hetzner Cloud | Available (most-tested path) |
| AWS / GCP / Azure | Crossplane providers available; full path coming |
| Oracle Cloud (OCI) | Crossplane provider available; full path coming |
| Huawei Cloud | Crossplane provider available; full path coming |
All providers reach Catalyst via the same Crossplane abstraction; Sovereign provisioning details per provider are in docs/SOVEREIGN-PROVISIONING.md.
Getting started
Try it (managed)
Visit marketplace.openova.io to install Applications on the openova Sovereign without any infrastructure setup. SaaS journey for SMEs and evaluations.
Run your own Sovereign
1. Provision via catalyst-provisioner.openova.io (managed bootstrap), OR
2. Self-host bp-catalyst-provisioner in your own infrastructure (air-gap path).
Then follow the procedure in docs/SOVEREIGN-PROVISIONING.md.
Build a Blueprint
See docs/BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING.md. A Blueprint is a folder under platform/<name>/ (or products/<name>/) in this monorepo containing blueprint.yaml + manifests (Helm chart or Kustomize base) + (optional) Crossplane Compositions. CI signs each folder's contents and publishes to OCI as ghcr.io/openova-io/bp-<name>:<semver>. Catalyst's blueprint-controller picks it up automatically. Org-private Blueprints follow the same shape inside per-Sovereign Gitea repos.
License
All Blueprints and the Catalyst control plane are open source. Each component carries its own upstream license (typically Apache 2.0, MPL 2.0, or BSD-3); see each component's LICENSE file.
OpenOva charges for support, managed operations, and expert services — never for access to code. See docs/BUSINESS-STRATEGY.md §10.
Contributing
PRs welcome. The contribution path for Blueprints (including Crossplane Compositions) is documented in docs/BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING.md §13. Issues and discussions on GitHub.
Cloud-native is the foundation. Catalyst is how you operate it.
