feat(ci): bump chart versions when a service releases - #1222
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR adds a Go chart-version bumper and CI wrapper. The GitHub Actions workflow processes service releases, updates applicable Helm charts on a persistent branch, and creates or refreshes a pull request. Tests cover tag resolution, planning, writes, refusals, and repository charts. ChangesChart version bumping
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR can update the wrong container image when multiple images share version tags, leaving the released service unchanged, and its release workflow still permits a crafted tag to execute commands with repository write permissions. The remaining lint errors may also fail required checks, so the PR is not safe to merge until these issues are addressed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

A service release tag resolves to the charts that declare they deploy it,
and their appVersion and matching image tag move to the released version.
A chart states its version twice: appVersion in Chart.yaml, and an image
tag at a path that differs per chart. Measured across all 22 charts: 12
agree, 3 differ, 7 set no tag. The drift is real, not theoretical:
ratelimiter reads appVersion 1.0.0 against a tag of 1.15.2,
api-keys-colocated 0.0.4 against 1.5.0.
So agreement is the evidence, rather than declaring one field
authoritative and overwriting the other:
agree both move. The shared value identifies exactly which tag
lines belong to this service, so no per-chart path config is
needed and other images in the same values.yaml are untouched.
no tag appVersion moves alone.
differ nothing moves, the chart is reported, exit 3.
floating nothing moves. latest is not a pin.
A bumper that guesses which of two disagreeing fields to move will
eventually move the wrong one, and the result looks like a routine
version bump in review.
Exit 3 for a refusal, distinct from 1. A caller cannot tell the two apart
from stderr, because the failure path writes there too and an
unresolvable tag then reads exactly like a refused chart. After a refusal
the charts that could move did; after a failure nothing did.
Go rather than Python, per tools/AGENTS.md. Files are rewritten line by
line rather than through a YAML marshaller, which would discard comments,
key order, and quoting style across a whole file for one value.
tools/ci/chart-version-bumper builds the binary rather than using
`go run`: `go run` does not propagate exit status, printing "exit status
3" and exiting 1, which would collapse the refusal code into an ordinary
failure.
Fifteen tests, mutation tested. Ten mutants die, including bumping a
drifted chart anyway, accepting a floating tag, replacing every tag line
rather than only the one matching the old appVersion, aborting on a
refusal instead of applying the charts that could move, and resolving a
chart release tag as though it were a service.
Two survived the first pass and are now covered. The longest-path
tie-break was untested, because the case the test used (src/a against
src/a/b) cannot reach it: a tag of src/a/b/v2.0.0 does not start with
src/a/v, so only one candidate ever existed. Excluding charts when
resolving a tag was untested as well.

Drives chart-version-bumper from the release event, onto a fixed branch so several releases landing close together produce one pull request rather than a pile that conflict with each other. Four things the wiring has to get right, each found by running the step body locally under `bash -e`, which is how GitHub invokes it: The step runs with `set +e`. errexit is set at invocation, and `set -uo pipefail` does not clear it, so the shell aborted on the refusal exit the bumper is designed to return, discarding the charts it had already applied safely. It branches on the exit code, not on whether stderr is empty. The failure path writes there as well, so the emptiness test classified an unresolvable tag as a refused chart and reported it under the wrong name. Change detection is scoped to the paths the commit stages. Repo-wide, any unrelated modification in the workspace sets changed=true and the commit then aborts with nothing staged. Checkout takes the default branch rather than the release event's default of the tagged commit, since the pull request targets main and bumping the tag's tree would carry a stale chart onto a branch cut from today's main. setup-go derives its version from tools/go-toolchain/go.mod; tools/ci/check-go-version fails any workflow that pins a literal. Merging the pull request does not move the stack. A chart version reaches the stack only once the chart itself is released, and publishing that release is what triggers stack-pin-bump.yml. Cutting the chart release stays a human decision. Co-authored-by: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Balaji Ganesan <bganesan@nvidia.com>
Same four findings as the stack pin bump workflow, which shares this
shape.
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 chart, 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 bumper sees the current appVersion 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, as the refusal text already was.
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.
The step body was re-run locally under `bash -e` across a refusing
service, a clean one and an unowned tag; refusals still capture without
aborting, and a failure still stops the run.

The cascade stopped after its first hop. tools/ci/github-release feeds RELEASE_RULES to semantic-release, where chore carries "release": false, and release-tags.yml runs `github-release auto` on every push to main with NVCF_GITHUB_AUTO_TAGGING_ENABLED=true and NVCF_GITHUB_RELEASE_DRY_RUN=false. So a generated commit of `chore(charts): bump for <tag>` cuts no chart release. Publishing a chart release is exactly what triggers stack-pin-bump.yml, so the chart would carry the new appVersion on main while the stack never learned about it, and the run would look successful throughout. The generated commit and pull request title are now `fix(charts):`, which cuts a patch release of the chart and lets the second hop fire. A patch is the right size. The chart's own templates and values schema have not changed, only the application version it defaults to, which is the conventional reading of chart version against appVersion.

Three review findings.
A chart may ship several images, and only the tag equal to appVersion is
rewritten, so a sidecar pinned to latest is none of the released
service's business. Checking floating before agreement refused the whole
chart over an image it never touches, and the refusal turned the run red
and blocked a bump that was entirely safe. Agreement is now checked
first; floating still refuses when no tag agrees, because then one of
those tags is this service's image and none of them is rewritable.
Apply wrote Chart.yaml and then read values.yaml. A failed read left
appVersion moved with the image tag behind, which is exactly the drift
state the next run refuses: one partial write would poison the chart for
every future bump. Both files are read before the first write.
The release tag reached the "Select the tag" step through ${{ }}
interpolation rather than env, unlike every other step here. A tag is
chosen by whoever pushes it, so that is the standard Actions injection
shape.
Three tests, each mutation checked against a precise inversion of its
fix: reordering the floating check ahead of agreement kills only the new
floating-sidecar test, and reading values.yaml after the Chart.yaml write
kills only the new partial-write test. The step body was exercised
against five tag shapes including one carrying a shell metacharacter,
which is inert.
Declined: errcheck on the report-writing fmt.Fprintf calls. No golangci
config or errcheck run covers tools/, and a stdout write failure in a CLI
has nowhere to be reported; CI acts on the exit code.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Do not infer service image ownership from a matching tag.
PlanFor accepts a chart when any tag equals appVersion. Apply then rewrites every matching tag.
For example, a service image at 2.0.0, an unrelated sidecar at 1.0.0, appVersion: 1.0.0, and another sidecar at latest now returns ActionBoth. The tool moves appVersion and the unrelated 1.0.0 sidecar to the release version. It leaves the actual service image unchanged.
Add an explicit image selector to the deployment metadata, or refuse charts where the service image cannot be identified. Add a regression fixture for this tag combination.
As per coding guidelines, "Code changes must include tests."

Why
Closes the service-to-chart hop. A service releases and nothing moves the charts that ship it, so the version stays at the service tag and never reaches a chart, let alone the stack.
Stacked on #1215, which declares the
deploysedges this consumes.The problem it has to solve
A chart states its version twice:
appVersioninChart.yaml, and an image tag at a path that differs per chart. Measured across all 22 charts:Of the 11 charts the bumper can currently reach (non-empty
deploys): 7 agree, 1 differs (ratelimiter), 3 set no tag.Declaring one field authoritative means silently overwriting the other. So agreement is the evidence instead.
What changed
tools/chart-version-bumper(Go) plus.github/workflows/chart-version-bump.yml, onrelease: published, opening a PR on a fixedchore/chart-version-bumpsbranch.appVersionand tag agreevalues.yamlare untouched.appVersionmoves alonelatest)latestis not a pin.A bumper that guesses which of two disagreeing fields to move will eventually move the wrong one, and the result looks like a routine version bump in review.
Exit 3
A refusal exits 3, not 1. A caller cannot distinguish refusal from failure by looking at stderr, because the failure path writes there too and an unresolvable tag reads exactly like a refused chart. The distinction is load-bearing: after a refusal the charts that could move did; after a failure nothing did. The workflow branches on the code and still opens the PR for the charts that moved.
Testing
Against real charts:
15 tests, mutation tested; 10 mutants die:
deploysedge ignored, every chart matchesTwo mutants survived the first pass:
src/avssrc/a/b) cannot reach it:src/a/b/v2.0.0does not start withsrc/a/v, so only one candidate ever existed. Replaced withsrc/avssrc/a/v1, where both genuinely match.A third was a bad assertion, not a missing test: the floating-tag check matched the string
floating, which was also the fixture chart's name, so it passed on the chart id with the check deleted. The fixture is nowfloaterand the assertion is on the reason.Workflow bugs found by running the step body under

Needs explicitset +e.git diff --quietwas repo-wide while the commit stages onlydeploy/helm. Any unrelated modified file setschanged=true, then the commit aborts with nothing staged.main.Scope
Merging a generated PR does not move the stack. A chart version reaches the stack only once the chart itself is released, and publishing that release triggers #1213. Cutting the chart release stays a human decision.
Implementation notes
Go, not Python, per
tools/AGENTS.md. Files are rewritten line by line, not through a YAML marshaller, which would discard comments, key order, and quoting across a whole file for one value. A test asserts a comment, a trailing note, and a sibling key survive a write.tools/ci/chart-version-bumperbuilds the binary rather thango run, which does not propagate exit status (printsexit status 3, exits 1) and would collapse the refusal code.References

feat(ci): bump chart versions when a service releases
Co-authored-by: Balaji Ganesan bganesan@nvidia.com
What is and is not automatic
Merges are the only manual gate. Everything between them fires on its own:
The generated commit is
fix(charts):, notchore(charts):, and that is load-bearing.tools/ci/github-releasefeedsRELEASE_RULESto semantic-release, wherechorecarries"release": false, andrelease-tags.ymlrunsgithub-release autoon every push tomainwithNVCF_GITHUB_AUTO_TAGGING_ENABLED=trueandNVCF_GITHUB_RELEASE_DRY_RUN=false. Achorecommit cuts no chart release, and publishing a chart release is exactly what triggers the next hop, so the cascade would have stopped here with every run green.Coverage today
Not every service reaches a chart. Measured against the checked-in charts and metadata:
ratelimiter: appVersion 1.0.0 against image tag 1.15.2So releasing
ratelimiter, or any service behind one of the seven undeclared charts, still needs the manual edit. The workflow reports the gap rather than guessing at it: a refusal exits 3 and turns the run red with the chart named, and an undeclared edge is listed bychart-service-edge --audit.Both shrink without changing this code. A refusal ends when someone reconciles that chart's two version fields; an undeclared edge ends when someone adds the
deploysentry.--strictcan be wired into CI once the seven are declared.Known fragility, not introduced here
The nvcf-internal dispatcher that carries a published release onward uses a 12 hour lookback (
NVCF_GITHUB_RELEASE_DISPATCH_LOOKBACK, a project variable that overrides the24hin the job YAML). It reacts rather than reconciles, so a release published while the dispatcher is paused or broken for longer than that window is skipped permanently rather than retried.Summary by CodeRabbit
