docs: correct the known gaps, and record two traps that cost time - #128
Conversation
The Known gaps table still said bootstrap passes no `gatewayClass` or
`envoyProxy`. It does now, and tum-production depends on it - that entry would
have sent the next person to create those by hand. Only `spec.loadBalancerIP`
remains inert.
Documents `spec.redirects`, which nothing described, and how to check one with
headers rather than a browser.
Adds a runbook for a certificate that sits unissued with no challenges
outstanding: a transient ACME finalize failure puts cert-manager into an hour of
backoff, and the fix is to clear it rather than to go looking at the config.
Two traps in AGENTS.md:
- a release tag is vX.Y.Z and the image is X.Y.Z, but an image-tag override is
used verbatim, so a caller passing the raw tag publishes v1.2.0. The
spelling that passes the tag-format check is the one that breaks the images.
- helm-diff must stay pinned. Its current release cannot be parsed by the
pinned helm, the plugin fails to load, and both preview steps end in
`|| true` - so every rendered diff was silently empty.

In `@docs/cluster-setup.md`:
- Around line 117-119: Update the stale bootstrap behavior statement in the
Gateway guide to reflect that bootstrap-cluster.yml supplies
spec.gatewayClass.create: true and a spec.envoyProxy pool name, so operators do
not need to create those resources manually. Align the wording with the
tum-production example and remove the contradictory manual-creation guidance.
- Around line 117-119: Update the sentence around spec.gatewayClass.create and
spec.envoyProxy to clarify that spec.envoyProxy names the EnvoyProxy resource,
while the MetalLB address pool is configured through
spec.envoyProxy.spec.provider.kubernetes.envoyService.annotations; do not
describe spec.envoyProxy as naming the pool.
- Around line 330-333: Add the text language identifier to the fenced
error-output block containing “Failed to finalize Order,” changing the fence to
use text while preserving its contents.
- Around line 343-344: Update the failed-retry guidance in the tum-production
bootstrap documentation to instruct operators to inspect Certificate,
CertificateRequest, Order, Challenge, ClusterIssuer, and cert-manager events or
logs before changing configuration, while preserving the transient-success
context.
In `@docs/envoy-gateway-setup.md`:
- Around line 153-154: Update the Bootstrap documentation’s ACME listener
statement to specify that the HTTP-01 :80 listener is created only when
ACME_HTTP is "true" and the role is not "webview"; clarify that clusters with
acmeHttp: false do not receive this listener.
- Around line 162-163: Update the redirect guidance in the documentation so it
recommends 301 for permanent hostname relocation and explains that 302
represents a temporary redirect rather than claiming it is never cached;
preserve the warning against using 302 for this migration.

Six findings from the review, all valid. envoy-gateway-setup.md still claimed bootstrap-cluster.yml passes neither the GatewayClass nor the EnvoyProxy block and that both must be created by hand. It passes both, and creating them by hand as well would have two owners fighting over the same names. The redirect section presented the ACME :80 listener as unconditional. Bootstrap only emits it when the cluster sets acmeHttp, so a cluster issuing certificates some other way has no such listener. The 302 rationale was wrong: a 302 is not categorically uncacheable. The reason to use 301 is that it means permanently moved, which is what lets clients update what they have stored. cluster-setup.md described spec.envoyProxy as naming the MetalLB pool. It names the EnvoyProxy; the pool sits in its nested provider config. The certificate runbook jumped straight to patching away the backoff. It now says to confirm the finalize 404 down the CertificateRequest/Order/Challenge chain first, notes that --subresource needs kubectl v1.24, and says what to do when the cleared retry also fails - the previous 'do not go looking' was too absolute. Pending challenges are also split by cause: an HTTP 404 means something answered but did not route the solver path, while a DNS or connection failure means nothing answered at all. Also typed six fenced blocks that markdownlint flagged as MD040. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019qeiQRFu8xAMRYWPdZewjG
The Known gaps table was wrong
It still said
bootstrap-cluster.ymlpasses nogatewayClassorenvoyProxy. It does now, andtum-productiondepends on it - that entry would have sent the next person to create those by hand on a cluster where the workflow already does it. Onlyspec.loadBalancerIPremains genuinely inert, and the row now says what replaced it.The "what does bootstrap do for you" table gains the two things it gained in #125: the GatewayClass and EnvoyProxy, and redirects.
spec.redirectswas undocumentedAdded to the Gateway page, with the check that matters - headers, not a browser:
and why 302 is the wrong choice even though it works: it is not cached, so the old hostname keeps taking traffic forever.
A certificate that will not issue
New section distinguishing a transient ACME finalize failure - which puts cert-manager into an hour of exponential backoff, and is cleared by patching the status - from challenges that stay pending, which is a real listener or DNS fault. Hit during the
tum-productionbootstrap; the first retry succeeded. Without this the instinct is to go looking at the configuration, where nothing is wrong.Two traps in AGENTS.md
