chore(renovate): adopt the org preset and manage the chart version - #116
Conversation
Adds this repo to the org-wide Renovate rollout, and closes the gap that made the existing validation job weaker than it looks. The repo no longer matches the shape the shared preset was written for. `deployments/*/values.yaml` and the `preloading.images` lists it targets with a custom manager were deleted in #111 and #113 - preload images are derived from `appDefinitions.apps` in the chart now, and there are no chart sources here at all since 2.0.0. That manager, and the preset's `deployments/**` package rule, match nothing in this repo. Both are inert rather than wrong; raising it against EduIDE/.github separately. So the only versioned things left here are the actions in the workflows and `spec.platform.chartVersion` in each environment manifest. The second needs a custom manager: env.yaml is an eduide.dev/v1 Environment, so neither helmv3 nor helm-values can read it. Verified the regex matches exactly once per environment, 8 of 8, and does not touch values.yaml or _base.yaml. Production is separated from staging and test by path. Bumping chartVersion in a production environment is not a chore that happens to touch production - it is the documented release procedure, so it waits behind a Dependency Dashboard tick. Grouping it with the test environments would produce one PR that cannot be reverted for production without also reverting the environments it was meant to be proven on. Verified the two rules partition all eight manifests with none left over. Also installs helm in the validation job. test-deploy-logic.sh renders every environment against the published chart, but helm was never on the runner, so that section printed SKIP and the job went green having rendered nothing - the README's claim that CI "renders every environment" was not true. An unreachable chart is now a failure in CI and still a skip on a laptop. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01QLGHEpzx7D9NYHx4fCmHa9

Add GHCR authentication to the validation job.
ghcr.io/eduide/charts/eduide requires authentication. This job grants only contents: read and does not run helm registry login. Add packages: read and log in with ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} before helm show chart.

Check every environment's chart version.
test-deploy-logic.sh also renders every environment with the version read from environments/test1/env.yaml. Separate Renovate groups can produce divergent versions, so an environment can be validated against the wrong chart version. Pull and render each unique environment version, or enforce a single-version invariant.

What and why
Adds this repo to the org-wide Renovate rollout (shared preset: EduIDE/.github#4), and fixes the gap that made the existing validation job weaker than it looks.
The repo is not the shape the shared preset expects
The preset carries a custom manager aimed at
deployments/*/values.yamland thepreloading.imageslists in it, plus adeployments/**package rule. Neither matches anything here any more.deployments/andcharts/were deleted in #111 and #113; preload images are derived fromappDefinitions.appsin the chart, and AGENTS.md now says in as many words "do not list images to preload". There are no chart sources in this repo either - both charts live in EduIDE-Helm and are pulled fromoci://ghcr.io/eduide/charts.They are inert rather than wrong, so nothing here breaks. Worth cleaning up in EduIDE/.github separately; I have not touched that PR.
What is actually versioned here, and what manages it
Two things:
.github/workflows/*github-actionsmanager, alreadyspec.platform.chartVersioninenvironments/<name>/env.yamlThe second needs a custom manager because
env.yamlis aneduide.dev/v1 Environmentmanifest - not aChart.yaml, not a Helm values file - so neitherhelmv3norhelm-valuescan see it. Without it this repo's Renovate config would be decorative.eduide-clusteris passed toBootstrap clusteras a workflow input rather than written in a file, so nothing can bump it. Documented in AGENTS.md as a by-hand step.The production / staging split
This is the decision worth arguing about, so, explicitly:
tum-production,bonn,mannheim) sits behinddependencyDashboardApproval: truein its own group. Per the README, bumpingchartVersioninenvironments/tum-production/env.yamland opening a PR is the production release procedure. A Renovate PR against that file is therefore not a dependency update that happens to touch production - it is a production deploy sitting there waiting for someone to hit merge. It must not appear unasked.staging,e2e-test,test1,test2,test3) batch into a single PR on the normal Monday schedule.They are kept in separate groups rather than one, because a single PR moving all eight would mean production could not be reverted without also reverting the environments it is supposed to have been proven on first - and vice versa.
Grouping is by path, not by tier, because Renovate cannot read
metadata.tierout of the manifest. If a fourth production environment is added, its path needs adding to the first rule. That is a real maintenance edge and I would rather state it than hide it.Helm in the validation job
Validate environmentsalready runsscripts/test-deploy-logic.shon every PR, and that script renders all eight environments against the published chart. But helm was never installed on the runner, so that whole section printedSKIP chart ... not reachableand the job went green having rendered nothing. The README's claim that CI "renders every environment" was not true.Rather than add a second workflow that renders the same things again, this installs
azure/setup-helm@v4atv3.16.3- the version the deploy workflows already pin - and adds one step that fails if the chart cannot be pulled, so the skip cannot silently come back. The script keeps skipping on a laptop with no helm, which is why it was written that way.helm lint/helm templateovercharts/was not possible: there is nocharts/directory in this repo.Also moves the pinned
yqversion into aYQ_VERSIONenv var with a# renovate:annotation, so the preset'scustomManagers:githubActionsVersionspicks it up. It was the one other pinned version in the repo.How it was verified
Run locally against this branch:
renovate-config-validator --strict renovate.json(renovate 44.46.7) - passes. Confirmed it is doing real work by feeding it a deliberately bogus option in a scratch copy and watching it fail.2.0.0.values.yamland_base.yamlare correctly not matched bymanagerFilePatterns. A manager that matches nothing fails silently, so this was checked rather than assumed.matchFileNamesglobs, through minimatch:chart-prod-> 3 files (bonn,mannheim,tum-production),chart-test-> 5 files (e2e-test,staging,test1,test2,test3), zero manifests uncovered by either.scripts/test-deploy-logic.sh- ALL PASS, on helmv3.16.3specifically (the CI version), not just on whatever was already installed. All eight environments render againstoci://ghcr.io/eduide/charts/eduide:2.0.0. Anonymous pull from ghcr works, so the runner needs no credentials.scripts/check-agents-md.sh- passes.actionlint- clean. Note: the v1.7.7 download script installed 1.7.6, so that is the version that actually ran.yqdownload URL resolves (HTTP 200 on the${YQ_VERSION}form).Not verified: real grouping and scheduling behaviour. That needs
renovate --dry-run=full, which cannot resolvelocal>EduIDE/.github:renovate-configuntil EduIDE/.github#4 is onmain. Until then this config fails closed - a missing preset means no PRs, not wrong PRs.Deployment impact
This is that config change, and it is a change to how deployment config gets updated rather than to any deployed value. Nothing rendered changes:
chartVersionstays at2.0.0in all eight environments and no values file is touched.The one thing to be aware of: once the Renovate app is installed on the org, the
chart-testgroup will open PRs that bump the chart version for staging and all three test environments. Merging one is a real deploy of those environments on the next run. Production will not move without a Dependency Dashboard tick.versionbumped)Risk and rollback
Low, and mostly deferred. The Renovate app is not installed on the org yet, so
renovate.jsonis inert until it is - deliberately the last step of the rollout.The live risk is the workflow change, and it is the honest kind: CI does more now than it did yesterday, so it can newly go red. Specifically it will fail if ghcr is unreachable or the pinned chart version is gone. That is the point - the alternative is what we had, where the render coverage evaporated and nothing said so. If it turns out to be flaky in practice, the fix is dropping the reachability step and accepting the skip, not reverting the helm install.
A bad rule in
renovate.jsonshows up as noisy or missing PRs, never as something merged:automerge: falseeverywhere in the preset, and this repo has no automerge of its own.Rollback: revert the commit. Renovate stops raising PRs, the validation job goes back to skipping its renders.
