Summary

Adds the update-kustomize-tag step to the Woodpecker pipeline so that successful builds on main automatically update the kustomize overlay image tag in pal-e-deployments, eliminating manual tag bumps.

Changes

.woodpecker.yaml -- added update-kustomize-tag step after build-and-push, before smoke-test. Uses the canonical script from pal-e-platform via wget+sh pattern. Targets pal-e-docs overlay. Depends on build-and-push, runs only on push to main.

Test Plan

YAML validated with python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.woodpecker.yaml'))"
Step uses correct overlay name (pal-e-docs)
Step uses internal cluster URL for script download
Step depends on build-and-push and gates on push to main
Merge and verify Woodpecker pipeline runs the step successfully

feat: add update-kustomize-tag Woodpecker step after build

ci/woodpecker/pr/woodpecker Pipeline failed

Details

581af63e12

Adds the reusable update-kustomize-tag step that downloads and runs
the canonical script from pal-e-platform to update the kustomize
overlay image tag in pal-e-deployments after a successful build.

Closes #220

Diff Summary

1 file changed, 17 additions, 0 deletions
Single new step added to .woodpecker.yaml

Findings

Step placement: Correctly inserted after build-and-push, before smoke-test. Logical ordering -- tag updates before smoke test waits for ArgoCD rollout.

Template compliance: Step matches the canonical template at pal-e-platform/scripts/woodpecker-update-tag-step.yaml exactly:

Image: alpine/git:latest
Environment: FORGEJO_TOKEN from secret, OVERLAY, IMAGE_TAG
Commands: wget+sh pattern with internal cluster URL
depends_on: build-and-push
when: event: push, branch: main

Overlay value: pal-e-docs matches the template mapping table (line 10 of template).

Security: Token injected via from_secret, not hardcoded. No secrets in diff.

YAML validity: Confirmed valid via python3 yaml.safe_load().

Issue reference: Closes #220 present in PR body.

Nits

None.

VERDICT: APPROVE

PR #221 Review

DOMAIN REVIEW

Tech stack: Woodpecker CI pipeline YAML, shell scripting (wget+sh pattern), kustomize/ArgoCD deployment automation.

What this PR does: Adds a single update-kustomize-tag step to .woodpecker.yaml that downloads the canonical update-kustomize-tag.sh script from pal-e-platform and runs it after build-and-push, targeting the pal-e-docs overlay in pal-e-deployments. The step runs only on push to main.

Correctness checks performed:

Overlay name pal-e-docs -- Verified. /home/ldraney/pal-e-deployments/overlays/pal-e-docs/prod/kustomization.yaml exists and has newTag entries. The overlay name matches the Harbor image repo (pal-e-docs/api in the build-and-push step). Correct.
Internal cluster URL -- http://forgejo-http.forgejo.svc.cluster.local:80 is the same internal URL used in the clone step. Correct.
Secret handling -- FORGEJO_TOKEN sourced via from_secret: forgejo_token, same secret already used in the clone step. No plaintext secrets. Correct.
IMAGE_TAG -- Uses ${CI_COMMIT_SHA}, matching the tags: ${CI_COMMIT_SHA} in build-and-push. Correct.
depends_on: build-and-push -- Ensures image is pushed to Harbor before attempting to update the kustomize overlay. Correct.
Canonical script -- Reviewed /home/ldraney/pal-e-platform/scripts/update-kustomize-tag.sh. It validates required env vars (FORGEJO_TOKEN, OVERLAY, IMAGE_TAG), clones pal-e-deployments, updates newTag via sed, commits with [skip ci], and pushes with retry logic. Well-structured.
Scope -- Single file changed, 17 lines added, 0 deleted. Tightly scoped to the issue.

BLOCKERS

1. smoke-test may race with update-kustomize-tag (missing depends_on)

The update-kustomize-tag step declares depends_on: [build-and-push], which switches Woodpecker into dependency-graph scheduling for steps with when conditions matching the same event. The smoke-test step has NO depends_on field.

In Woodpecker's dependency model, a step without depends_on has no declared predecessors -- meaning it could run as soon as the clone completes, potentially in parallel with update-kustomize-tag (or at least not guaranteed to run after it).

The smoke-test's purpose is to validate the ArgoCD rollout, which depends on the kustomize tag being updated first. If smoke-test runs before or concurrently with update-kustomize-tag, it would test the OLD deployment (the 30s sleep is a heuristic that assumed sequential execution).

Fix: Add depends_on: [update-kustomize-tag] to the smoke-test step to ensure the tag update commits to pal-e-deployments before smoke-test begins its ArgoCD wait.

Severity note: Calling this a BLOCKER because if smoke-test races ahead, it validates stale state. However, I acknowledge there is nuance: Woodpecker's actual behavior with mixed depends_on/no-depends_on steps may vary by version. If the team has verified that Woodpecker preserves definition order for steps without depends_on even when other steps use it, this could be downgraded to a nit. But the safe, explicit approach is to add the dependency.

NITS

alpine/git:latest tag -- Using :latest is mutable and could break unexpectedly. Consider pinning to a specific version (e.g., alpine/git:2.45.2) for reproducibility, consistent with the pinned versions used elsewhere in the pipeline (python:3.12-slim, pgvector/pgvector:pg17, woodpeckerci/plugin-kaniko:2.3.0).
No depends_on for smoke-test on main branch today either -- This is a pre-existing concern (smoke-test already lacked depends_on: [build-and-push] before this PR). The new step makes it more visible. Worth fixing while touching this area.

SOP COMPLIANCE

Branch named after issue (220-update-kustomize-tag references issue #220)
PR body has Summary, Changes, Test Plan, Related sections
Related section references parent rollout issue (pal-e-platform #206)
No secrets committed (token sourced from Woodpecker secret)
No unnecessary file changes (single file, tightly scoped)
Commit messages are descriptive (feat: add update-kustomize-tag Woodpecker step)
YAML validated per test plan

PROCESS OBSERVATIONS

Deployment Frequency: This PR is part of the rollout tracked in pal-e-platform #206 (9 repos). Completing this for pal-e-api eliminates manual tag bumps and directly improves deployment frequency for the core API.
Change Failure Risk: Low. The canonical script has retry logic and [skip ci] commit messages. The only risk is the smoke-test ordering issue noted above.
First consumer: This is the first repo adopting the update-kustomize-tag.sh script (no other .woodpecker.yaml files reference it yet). Getting the pattern right here sets the template for the remaining 8 repos.

VERDICT: NOT APPROVED

One blocker: the smoke-test step needs depends_on: [update-kustomize-tag] to guarantee it runs after the kustomize tag is updated. Without this, the smoke-test could validate stale state, defeating its purpose. Fix this dependency and the PR is ready to merge.

fix: add depends_on to smoke-test step so it waits for kustomize tag update

ci/woodpecker/pr/woodpecker Pipeline failed

Details

e7ebae19f7

Without this, smoke-test could run concurrently with update-kustomize-tag,
potentially testing the old deployment instead of the newly tagged image.
