ACB Kubernetes Manifests Sync to declarative-config

Task Status: COMPLETE

Bead ID: bf-3lo Date: 2026-06-27 Author: jedarden

Summary

All ACB (AI Code Battle) Kubernetes manifests have been successfully synced to jedarden/declarative-config and ArgoCD is managing them.

Verification Results

✓ All ACB manifests present in declarative-config

Location: /home/coding/declarative-config/k8s/apexalgo-iad/acb-bots/

Manifest inventory (52 files):

• 1 Namespace (namespace.yml)
• 17 Deployments (bot-assassin, bot-defender, bot-farmer, bot-gatherer, bot-guardian, bot-hunter, bot-kamikaze, bot-nomad, bot-opportunist, bot-pacifist, bot-phalanx, bot-raider, bot-random, bot-rusher, bot-scout, bot-seeder, bot-swarm)
• 16 Services (one per bot except bot-seeder)
• 17 ExternalSecrets (16 bot secrets + 1 docker-hub-registry)
• 1 ServiceAccount (bot-seeder)
• 1 Role (bot-seeder)
• 1 RoleBinding (bot-seeder)
• 1 ConfigMap (bot-seeder-script)

✓ ArgoCD sync successful

Application: acb-bots-ns-apexalgo-iad Status:

• Sync: Synced ✓
• Phase: Succeeded ✓
• Message: "successfully synced (all tasks run)"

⚠ Pods not running (expected - due to dependencies)

Current pod status:

• 16 pods in Pending state (cluster capacity)
• 2 pods with ImagePullBackOff (missing image pull credentials)

ExternalSecret status:

• All 18 ExternalSecrets in SecretSyncedError state (OpenBao connectivity)

These issues are expected based on the bead's dependencies:

• bf-7i6 (cluster capacity): Not all nodes have capacity to schedule pods
• bf-2z2 (image pull): ExternalSecrets not syncing, so docker-hub-registry secret not available

✓ No drift between cluster and declarative-config

Git status: Clean (no uncommitted changes) Latest commit: d797177 - "fix(acb-bots): promote to top-level namespace dir + fix manifest issues"

Deployed resources match manifests:

• All 17 deployments deployed
• All 16 services deployed
• All RBAC resources deployed
• ConfigMap deployed
• Namespace exists with correct labels

Deployment Architecture

The ACB manifests are managed via the manifest-appset-apexalgo-iad ApplicationSet, which automatically creates an ArgoCD Application for each directory in k8s/apexalgo-iad/*. The acb-bots directory is picked up by this glob pattern.

ArgoCD Application details:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: acb-bots-ns-apexalgo-iad
  namespace: argocd
spec:
  source:
    repoURL: https://github.com/jedarden/declarative-config
    targetRevision: HEAD
    path: k8s/apexalgo-iad/acb-bots
  destination:
    server: https://hcp-99476ebb-4133-4a21-ac6a-6e2bdf6794c0.spot.rackspace.com
  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: true
      selfHeal: true
      allowEmpty: true

Next Steps

To achieve full ACB deployment:

1. Complete bf-7i6 (cluster capacity): Ensure apexalgo-iad nodes have sufficient resources to schedule all 17 bot pods
2. Complete bf-2z2 (image pull): Fix ExternalSecret synchronization so docker-hub-registry secret is available for image pulls
3. Build and push bot images: Some deployments reference placeholder SHA tags that need real images

Files Changed

No new manifests were added during this task - all ACB manifests were already present in declarative-config from prior work (commit d797177).

This bead confirms the sync is complete and documents the current state.
