Why

The chart lived in its own colocated-deploy repo, publishing as helm-nvcf-api. Porting it here puts it on the same tag-driven release lane as the other charts under deploy/helm, so releases are cut from the monorepo instead of the external repo.

What changed

  • deploy/helm/cloud-functions/ - the chart, ported from that repo's main. The chart itself is unchanged: the inner nvcf-api/ directory is byte-identical to the source, and helm template renders identical manifests.
  • tools/ci/helm-validate-values/cloud-functions.yaml - CI-only values, matching the other charts. The chart leaves image.registry and image.repository empty on purpose and does not render without them.
  • tools/ci/github-release-subprojects.json - registers cloud-functions-helm.

The release entry is the part worth reviewing:

{
  "id": "cloud-functions-helm",
  "path": "deploy/helm/cloud-functions",
  "service_name": "helm-nvcf-api",
  "initial_version": "1.23.11"
}

service_name is the chart's own published name from Chart.yaml, not one derived from the service. A service-shaped name would publish into a new empty chart repository and strand the existing versions while the pipeline still reported success.

initial_version anchors at 1.23.11, the newest published version. The registry holds two series: three early manual pushes ending at 0.4.2 on the classic chart registry, and the CI-released OCI series up to 1.23.11, matching the source repo's newest tag. 1.23.11 was verified by pulling it from the OCI registry. The first release cut here computes 1.23.12 or 1.24.0.

Dropped on the way in, all repo-level files that do not belong in a chart directory: .gitlab-ci.yml, the license-header scripts, CODEOWNERS, SECURITY.md, .oss-allowlist, .security-triage.yaml, and debug-pod.yaml.

Two defects fixed in the wrapper: the Makefile's clean target used an undefined variable and expanded to rm -rf /*.tgz, and the chart test's shebang sat below the license header, so on Linux runners the script fell back to a shell that rejects set -o pipefail.

Plan Summary

One new chart directory and one new release registration. Nothing publishes until a deploy/helm/cloud-functions/v* tag exists, and that requires the companion config in the internal repo.

Usage

make -C deploy/helm/cloud-functions lint
make -C deploy/helm/cloud-functions template
make -C deploy/helm/cloud-functions test

Testing

helm lint passes and helm template renders 11 resources with the CI values, validated with kubeconform against Kubernetes 1.31.5. make test passes, and was verified to run under a POSIX shell after the shebang fix. The rendered manifests were diffed against the source repo's chart under the same values: identical.

Notes

appVersion stays 1.12.6, from the source repo's main. The previously published charts carry appVersion equal to the chart version because the old release job overwrote it. That drift is deliberate here: it keeps the chart identical to the source, and the pin can move in its own change.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to e73ce

The chart port currently permits installations without required image settings, can delete bootstrap credentials before initialization completes, may log sensitive authentication data, and can generate invalid Vault configuration; these issues could cause failed deployments or credential exposure, so the PR is not ready to merge until they are fixed or explicitly accepted.

The chart lived in its own colocated-deploy repo, where it published as
helm-nvcf-api with 3 versions, the newest 0.4.2. Bring it in and register
it for releases so the lineage continues here instead of restarting.

initial_version anchors at 0.4.2 so the first release cut here computes
0.4.3, and service_name is the chart's own published name rather than one
derived from the service. The release lane is cloud-functions-helm, paired
with the existing cloud-functions image lane the way cloud-tasks-helm and
notary-helm are.

Dropped on the way in: the repo's .gitlab-ci.yml, which released through a
GitLab component the monorepo does not use; its license-header scripts and
.license-header.txt, which duplicate the repo-level license tooling; and
CODEOWNERS, SECURITY.md, .oss-allowlist, .security-triage.yaml and
debug-pod.yaml, which are repo-level files that do not belong in a chart
directory.

The Makefile's lint and template targets now read the shared CI values at
tools/ci/helm-validate-values/cloud-functions.yaml, as the other charts do,
because the chart leaves the image registry and repository empty on purpose
and would not render without them. Its clean target used an undefined
charts_dir, so `make clean` expanded to `rm -rf /*.tgz`; it now removes
./bin like the other charts. .PHONY listed deploy and delete, which do not
exist, and omitted most targets that do.

The chart templates, values, and bootstrap script are unchanged.
The SPDX header sat above the shebang, so line 1 was a comment and
#!/usr/bin/env bash never applied. Executing the file returned ENOEXEC and
the calling shell fell back to /bin/sh. That is bash on macOS, which is why
`make test` passed locally, but it is dash on Linux runners, and dash
rejects `set -euo pipefail` with "Illegal option -o pipefail" on line 18.

Move the shebang to line 1 and keep the license header under it.
The port anchored initial_version at 0.4.2, read from the NGC classic
chart registry. That surface only holds the three manual pushes from
July 2025; the GitLab release component published every CI release since
as an OCI artifact, which that listing does not show. The colocated repo
has 70 release tags up to 1.23.11, and that version pulls from
oci://nvcr.io/0651155215864979/ncp-dev/helm-nvcf-api.

Anchoring below the published series would make the first monorepo
release compute 0.4.3 and insert it under 69 newer versions in the same
repository, with the pipeline reporting success. 1.23.11 continues the
real lineage, so the first release cut here computes 1.23.12 or 1.24.0.

Inline comments:
In `@deploy/helm/cloud-functions/Makefile`:
- Around line 20-22: Fix the install validation in the Makefile so
additional_values is explicitly validated before installation; remove or replace
the unconditional values assignment that makes the existing ifndef values guard
unreachable. Ensure make install stops when the required image override values
are absent, while allowing the intentionally empty api.image.registry,
api.image.repository, and matching account bootstrap image fields.

In `@deploy/helm/cloud-functions/nvcf-api/scripts/account-bootstrap.sh`:
- Around line 75-77: Update the DEBUG default in the bootstrap script to false
and remove or redact diagnostic logging of complete OpenBao and account API
responses, including the fallback paths and account-response handling near the
referenced logging blocks. Preserve only status codes and non-sensitive error
metadata; never emit tokens, credentials, or full response bodies.

In
`@deploy/helm/cloud-functions/nvcf-api/templates/account-bootstrap-secret.yaml`:
- Around line 24-27: Update the hook-delete-policy annotation for the bootstrap
Secret to remove hook-succeeded while retaining before-hook-creation, so the
Secret remains available to the account bootstrap Job and is replaced on the
next hook lifecycle.

In `@deploy/helm/cloud-functions/nvcf-api/templates/NOTES.txt`:
- Around line 4-5: Update the HTTP and gRPC port lookups in the NOTES template
to avoid relying on api.service.ports list positions; select each configured
port by its stable name, or use explicit HTTP and gRPC values, while preserving
the displayed port labels.

In `@deploy/helm/cloud-functions/nvcf-api/templates/service.yaml`:
- Line 19: Preserve the Service metadata name as the fixed contract “api” and
update the associated NOTES.txt guidance to advertise
api.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local. Document that only one release may be
deployed per namespace.

In
`@deploy/helm/cloud-functions/nvcf-api/vault-agent-templates/secrets.json.tmpl`:
- Around line 5-39: Update the secrets template to serialize every Vault-derived
scalar with toJSON without surrounding quotes, preserving valid JSON for escaped
values. Make the optional entries in the tokens and nats blocks emit commas only
between entries that are present, including when later secrets are absent.
Configure required-field rendering to fail on missing keys and explicitly enable
exit_on_retry_failure for persistent Vault errors. Add coverage for missing
optional entries and escaped values.
