feat(ci): open a pull request bumping stack pins when a chart releases - #1213
Merged
Conversation
Nine of the twenty-four chart versions pinned in the self-managed stack are behind what has been released. The edit is one line each, so the cost is not the work, it is remembering to do it. On release: published for a deploy/helm/<chart>/v* tag, this resolves the stack releases pinning that chart, rewrites their version, and opens or refreshes a pull request. The released tag carries the version, so there is no newest-version lookup and none of the ordering questions that come with one. Resolution uses only data already declared: the tag gives the chart path, tools/ci/github-release-subprojects.json maps that path to the published chart name, and the helmfile names the chart in one of three forms. The third form was the interesting one. Two releases set chart to a Go template with a default, and the default names the real chart, so those resolve rather than being guessed at or skipped. The failure this is built against is silence: a chart releases, nothing resolves to it, no pin moves, and the run goes green. That is how nvcf-unbound went unpublished. So the resolver enumerates every release in the stack, an unresolvable one is an error rather than a skipped iteration, and a bump refuses to run at all while any release is unreadable, since the one it cannot parse might be the one that pins this chart. Fourteen behavioral cases, and the suite was mutation tested to confirm it bites: skipping unresolved releases, bumping anyway on an unreadable stack, guessing a chart name instead of raising, and rewriting every version line rather than the target block are each caught by the case that names them. The last matters most, since two releases currently sit at the same version and a sloppy substitution would move the wrong one. The tests run in this workflow rather than somewhere it might not reach. Co-authored-by: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com>

- Around line 101-105: Update the workflow’s branch-handling sequence so the
target PR branch is fetched and checked out before the resolver performs audit
or mutation, ensuring existing bumps for the same chart are part of the working
tree. Remove reliance on applying a potentially conflicting stash after
checkout, and add a regression test covering an existing branch with an earlier
bump for the same pin.
- Around line 95-96: Update the workflow’s git identity configuration by
removing the private nvcf-release-bot name and service email, and use the
repository’s approved public automation identity or managed configuration
instead.
- Around line 134-140: Replace the gh pr view, gh pr edit, and gh pr create
calls in the workflow with gh api or an equivalent repository-controlled HTTP
client that supports custom headers, forwarding the W3C traceparent value on
every GitHub API request while preserving the existing pull-request lookup,
update, and creation behavior.
- Around line 55-58: Update the “Select the tag” and “Apply the bump” workflow
steps to pass tag values through the step env as TAG and read $TAG in Bash
instead of interpolating GitHub expressions into shell source. Validate TAG
against the expected chart-tag grammar before writing or using it, while
preserving the existing pull-request step’s safe env handling.
In `@tools/ci/stack-pin-resolver`:
- Around line 51-53: Update RELEASE_RE and the load_stack parsing flow to
recognize releases only at the releases-list indentation, excluding nested
entries such as set items. Expand VERSION_RE or its handling to accept quoted
versions and versions with trailing comments; when a version cannot be read,
mark the release unresolved rather than skipping it. Add fixtures covering
nested - name entries and quoted versions.
In `@tools/ci/test-stack-pin-resolver`:
- Around line 83-92: Update the chart-resolution assertions in the loop over
alpha, beta, and gamma so each release is matched against its exact expected
chart name, not merely the presence of “->”. Preserve the existing pass/fail
reporting while ensuring an incorrect chart mapping sets fail=1.

Two problems found while wiring the same shape for chart bumps. git diff --quiet was repo-wide while the commit that follows stages only deploy/stacks/self-managed/helmfile.d. Any unrelated modification in the workspace sets changed=true, and the commit then aborts with nothing staged. Checkout took the release event's default of the tagged commit, but the pull request targets the default branch, so pinning against the tag's tree would carry whatever the stack looked like then onto a branch cut from today's main.

tools/AGENTS.md asks for Go over Python for non-trivial repo tooling: structured parsing, file transforms, and logic that benefits from unit tests. Some CI environments here do not guarantee Python. This is all three, so it should not have been Python to begin with. The port is not mechanical in one place. The Python split helmfiles into release blocks with a single regex ending in a lookahead, "up to the next release or end of file", and Go's regexp engine has no lookahead. Blocks are now found line by line, which is closer to the file anyway: it also yields the line number of each pin, so the rewrite replaces one exact line rather than reconstructing a block around it, and refuses if that line is no longer a version pin when it goes to write. Behaviour is unchanged: the checked-in stack audits to the same 24 releases, 0 unresolved. tools/ci/stack-pin-resolver stays as the entrypoint. It builds the binary rather than using `go run`, for the repository root (`go run -C` leaves the process in the tool's own directory, where it can find neither the helmfiles nor the release metadata) and for the exit status, which `go run` does not propagate: it prints "exit status N" and exits 1. setup-go derives its version from tools/go-toolchain/go.mod, since tools/ci/check-go-version fails any workflow that pins a literal. Sixteen tests, mutation tested. Eleven mutants die, including an unresolved release that no longer fails the audit, a bump that proceeds past one, an unknown template form guessed at by convention, versionless blocks counted as pins, a rewrite keyed on the version value rather than the release, and a chart nobody pins reported as success.

Seven findings from review, each verified against the code first.
Resolver:
The version out of a release tag was written verbatim into a shipped
helmfile after matching only `.+`. Anyone who can push a tag chooses that
value, so a space, a quote or a path traversal would corrupt the file or
smuggle in an adjacent key. It is now validated as a plain version before
anything is written.
The version pin was matched at any indent, so a `version:` nested inside
a values block could be taken as the release's pin and rewritten while
the real pin stayed put. Matching is now restricted to the release's own
field indent.
A release-level `version:` that could not be parsed was skipped silently,
which drops a real pin. That is the failure this tool exists to prevent,
so it is now reported as unresolved. A quoted value is also recognised;
nothing in the stack is quoted today, but gaining quotes must not
silently remove a pin from every future bump.
Workflow:
The bump was applied on the default branch and then stashed across a
checkout of the pull request branch, with `stash pop || true`. Whenever
the branch already carried a bump for the same pin, that conflicts, and
the swallowed failure either drops the earlier bump or commits conflict
markers. The branch is now checked out before the bump runs, which also
makes the run idempotent: the resolver sees the current value and reports
"already <version>".
The release tag was expanded into the run: body through `${{ }}`, the
standard Actions injection shape for a value an outside contributor can
choose. It is passed through env.
Generated commits carried a fixed `Co-authored-by` trailer naming one
person, so every future automated bump would be attributed to them in
published history. Removed. The committer identity is now the standard
github-actions[bot] rather than a private service account.
`gh pr edit` fails against this repository with "Projects (classic) is
being deprecated ... (repository.pullRequest.projectCards)", so refreshing
an existing pull request would have failed on every run after the first.
Replaced with the REST endpoint, which has no such dependency.
Four new tests, mutation tested; each of the four resolver behaviours
above dies when removed. The nested-key fixture puts the nested version
before the release's own pin: ordered the other way the loop finds the
real pin first and the test passes with the indent check deleted, which
mutation testing caught.
Declined: forwarding W3C traceparent on gh API calls, as this job makes
three calls in a workflow that already has run-level tracing.

The version pattern made the quote optional at each end independently, so it accepted `version: "1.0.0` and `version: 1.0.0"`. Both are malformed YAML, and both were classified as resolved pins, which meant the rewrite replaced the line and quietly laundered the error away instead of stopping and reporting it. Bare, or quoted on both ends, and nothing else. Two tests cover the unmatched forms and assert nothing is written for them; a third covers the four accepted forms. Reverting the pattern kills both.

deploy/stacks/self-managed is itself a release subproject, and tools/ci/github-release feeds RELEASE_RULES to semantic-release where chore carries "release": false. release-tags.yml runs `github-release auto` on every push to main with auto tagging enabled and dry run off, so a generated commit of `chore(stack): pin <chart>` moved the pin on main without ever cutting a stack release. Nothing downstream would see it. Now `fix(stack):`, which cuts a patch release of the stack. Co-authored-by: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com>

Why
A chart release publishes a new version; nothing moves the self-managed stack's pin to it. That is done by hand today.
The failure mode is silence: a chart releases, nothing in the stack resolves to it, no pin moves, and the run goes green. A bumper that iterates only over what it understands reproduces that exactly.
What changed

The released tag carries the version, so there is no "newest version" lookup and no ordering question.
A helmfile names a chart three ways. The third is not resolvable by reading the file:
