jcoffey-dev 05d166cfa9 Document real kind-cluster verification, closing every runbook gap
kind/kubectl/helm were installed without root and a real local cluster
ran the full two-tenant walkthrough end to end: both acme and globex
reached Tenant.status.phase: Active with real generated ClickHouse
credentials. Updates deploy/README.md's and deploy/helm/sentry/README.md's
verification-status framing from "not verified against a live cluster"
to what's actually true now, fixes both READMEs' helm install
--include-crds (a helm template-only flag, never valid for install),
documents the two chart bugs this run found (see the previous commit)
and the mandatory ingest TLS Secret step, and updates the threat model's
summary table and "No general multi-cluster orchestration" residual-risk
note accordingly. This closes the last remaining gap in
/docs/phase-4-runbook.md.

# deploy/helm/sentry
A Helm chart covering every `docker-compose.yml` service (Redpanda,
ClickHouse, Postgres, ingest, search, alerting, web) plus, when
`enterprise.enabled: true`: enterprise-auth, the `deploy/operator`
tenant-operator, and `Tenant` CRs from `values.tenants`. See
`/deploy/README.md` for what "multi-tenant-aware" does and doesn't mean
at this layer, and its verification-status section before trusting this
against a real cluster.
This chart never builds images -- push every image its `values.yaml`
references to a registry the cluster can pull from first, same division
of labor as `docker compose build` vs. `docker compose up`.
## `api` vs `enterprise-api`: one Deployment, chosen by `enterprise.enabled`
`templates/api.yaml` and `templates/enterprise-api.yaml` are mutually
exclusive, gated on opposite sides of the same `enterprise.enabled` flag
-- exactly one of them ever renders, both under the same
`{{ .Release.Name }}-api` Service name and port 8080. This is the fix
for what `/docs/security/threat-model.md` named as Phase 4's single
largest remaining gap once both storage engines' isolation mechanisms
were built: previously nothing forced or even flagged whether a
deployment ran the tenant-isolated binary. Now it's not a second knob to
remember -- the same flag that turns on RBAC/audit/SSO also swaps which
query binary actually serves `/query` and `/dashboards` traffic. Every
consumer (`alerting`'s `API_QUERY_URL`, `web`'s build args) needs zero
conditional logic of its own, since both variants answer on the same
name/port.
`enterprise-api` starts with an empty tenant set until
`-provision-tenant` has been run for at least one tenant (see
`/enterprise/README.md`) -- until then it's up and healthy, but every
`/query` request correctly fails closed with no tenant to route to.
## Startup ordering
`docker-compose.yml` uses `depends_on: condition: service_healthy` /
`service_completed_successfully` to sequence startup (e.g. `api` waits
for `clickhouse-migrate` to actually finish, not just for `clickhouse` to
be reachable). This chart approximates that more loosely:
- Migration Jobs (`clickhouse-migrate`, `metadata-migrate`,
`redpanda-provision`) are plain `Job` resources (not Helm hooks --
making the StatefulSets they depend on into hooks too, to get
ordering, would break `helm upgrade`/`helm uninstall`'s normal
ownership tracking of stateful resources, a worse tradeoff), with
`backoffLimit: 6` so they retry a few times if their dependency isn't
up yet.
- App Deployments get an `initContainer` that busy-waits for their
dependency's **TCP port**, not for a specific Job's completion (see
`templates/_helpers.tpl`'s `sentry.waitForTCP`) -- this covers "is
ClickHouse/Postgres/Redpanda up" but not "has the migration Job
actually finished."
- The gap that leaves (a pod starts before its migration has completed)
is covered by every Go service here already calling `os.Exit(1)` on a
failed startup DB ping (see e.g. `api/cmd/api/main.go`) --
Kubernetes' pod restart policy retries with backoff until the schema
is ready. This is a real, working, but *looser* guarantee than
docker-compose's explicit ordering -- documented here rather than
implied to be equivalent.
## Trying the two-tenant example
```sh
# Quote each --set value -- zsh globs an unquoted tenants[0] as a
# pattern and fails with "no matches found." Also note: no --include-crds
# here -- that's a helm template-only flag (install always installs
# crds/ by default); confirmed the hard way running this against a real
# kind cluster, see /docs/phase-4-runbook.md §7.
helm install sentry . \
--set enterprise.enabled=true \
--set tenantOperator.enabled=true \
--set 'tenants[0].name=acme' --set 'tenants[0].displayName=Acme Corp' \
--set 'tenants[1].name=globex' --set 'tenants[1].displayName=Globex Corporation'
kubectl get tenants
# expect: both Provisioning -- the Tenant CRs above are just a
# declarative request; nothing has actually provisioned ClickHouse for
# either yet (see below).
kubectl exec -it deploy/sentry-api -- /enterprise-api -provision-tenant=acme -display-name="Acme Corp"
kubectl exec -it deploy/sentry-api -- /enterprise-api -provision-tenant=globex -display-name="Globex Corporation"
kubectl get tenants
# expect: both Active now.
kubectl get secret sentry-tenant-acme-clickhouse sentry-tenant-globex-clickhouse
```
Before any of this: `ingest` needs a real mTLS cert Secret
(`--set ingest.tlsSecretName=...`, see `values.yaml`'s comment on it and
`/docs/phase-4-runbook.md` §7 for the exact `kubectl create secret`
invocation using `hack/dev-certs`) or it crash-loops on startup --
unconditional by design, no disable switch.
**Genuinely run against a real `kind` cluster, not just described**: see
`/docs/phase-4-runbook.md` §7 for the exact steps (image loading into
`kind`, the two chart bugs it found and fixed) and confirmation that
both tenants reached `status.phase: Active` with real credentials.
This proves Phase 4's "two tenants... with their own users, roles,
dashboards" exit criteria (`/CLAUDE.md`) end to end at the deployment-
topology layer: `-provision-tenant` (`enterprise/internal/
tenantprovision`) is what actually creates each tenant's ClickHouse
database/user/grant and marks it active in `rbacstore`; running inside
the `enterprise-api` Deployment's Pod means it automatically syncs that
real result into the `Tenant` CRD too (`enterprise/internal/tenantcrd`,
via the ServiceAccount/Role `tenantOperator.enabled` also grants that
Deployment) -- the credential Secret you see above has *real*
credentials, not a placeholder, and `Tenant.status.phase: Active` means
the same thing `rbacstore.tenants.status='active'` does, not two
different claims about two different systems. The `Tenant` CRD and
`-provision-tenant` used to be genuinely disconnected (a Secret existed
the moment the CR was created, with a password that authenticated
against nothing) -- see `/deploy/README.md`'s "lightweight unification"
section for the full history. OIDC/SAML login still needs a manual
`tenant_memberships` grant (`enterprise-auth -grant-membership-*` --
see `/docs/phase-4-runbook.md` §3a/§3b) before a human can actually
query as either tenant.
## `web`'s image needs rebuilding per environment
`web` is a static SvelteKit build (`adapter-static`) -- its three API
base URLs (`VITE_API_BASE_URL`/`VITE_ALERTING_API_BASE_URL`/
`VITE_ENTERPRISE_AUTH_BASE_URL`) are baked in at **image build time**
(`web/Dockerfile`'s build args), not read from the container's
environment at runtime. `values.yaml`'s `web.builtWithApiBaseURL` etc.
document what the image you point `web.image` at needs to have been
built with (an Ingress hostname, a LoadBalancer IP, etc.) -- this chart
has no Ingress resources and can't itself act on those values; rebuild
`web`'s image with the right build args for wherever this release is
actually reachable from a browser before pointing real users at it.
## Validating without a cluster
```sh
helm lint .
helm template sentry . --include-crds > /tmp/rendered.yaml
```
See `/deploy/README.md`'s verification section for what was checked
this way versus against a real cluster (now done -- see above).
