BF-22VC5 Final Status - 2026-06-04

Task

Deploy P0: build acb-enrichment Docker image and re-enable deployment (apexalgo-iad)

Executive Summary: BLOCKED - Infrastructure

The acb-enrichment deployment is blocked by infrastructure issues on apexalgo-iad cluster. Code requirements are satisfied, but the Forgejo container registry is down due to resource constraints.

Code Requirements: ✅ COMPLETE

All code requirements from the task description are already satisfied:

Requirement	Status	Details
Enrichment source	✅	cmd/acb-enrichment/ exists with main.go, config.go, service.go
Dockerfile	✅	cmd/acb-enrichment/Dockerfile - multi-stage golang:1.25-alpine → alpine:3.19
Deployment manifest	✅	declarative-config/k8s/apexalgo-iad/ai-code-battle/acb-enrichment-deployment.yml
WorkflowTemplate	✅	acb-enrichment-build-workflowtemplate.yml exists in declarative-config

Current Deployment State

Manifest Status

• File: acb-enrichment-deployment.yml (NO .disabled file - already enabled)
• Image SHA: forgejo.ardenone.com/ai-code-battle/acb-enrichment:sha-97b4b0f
• Replicas: 1 (deployment is enabled, not disabled)

Runtime Status

Deployment: acb-enrichment
Ready: 0/1 replicas
Status: ImagePullBackOff
Image: forgejo.ardenone.com/ai-code-battle/acb-enrichment:sha-97b4b0f
Issue: Image doesn't exist in registry

Infrastructure Blocker: Forgejo Registry Down

All nodes: Ready
Node allocatable (example): CPU=3500m, Memory=29644764Ki

Note: Despite kubectl top nodes showing available CPU, 223 pending pods have already reserved resources in the scheduler's queue. The scheduler reports insufficient CPU because pending pods' requests are counted against available capacity.

Task Description vs Reality

Task Description	Actual State	Status
"placeholder SHA (sha256:placeholder)"	Real SHA sha-97b4b0f	✅ Already fixed
"deployment disabled (.disabled file)"	No .disabled file exists	✅ Already fixed
"need to trigger CI build"	CI template exists but can't run (registry down)	❌ Infrastructure
"rename .disabled file"	N/A - file never existed	✅ N/A
"update deployment manifest"	Already has real SHA	✅ Already done

Root Cause Analysis

1. Cluster Overprovisioning: 223 pending pods (169 from argo-workflows) are blocking new pod scheduling
2. Forgejo Registry Unavailable: Forgejo pods can't be scheduled, so container registry is down
3. Image Build Blocked: Can't build/push new images without registry access
4. Deployment Can't Start: acb-enrichment can't pull image because registry is down

Required Actions (Infrastructure Team)

Immediate (to restore registry)

1. Scale cluster - Add more worker nodes or increase node size
2. Cleanup old workflows - Delete completed/failed argo-workflows pods (169 pending)
3. Verify Forgejo scheduling - Ensure forgejo pods can be scheduled
4. Verify registry - Confirm curl https://forgejo.ardenone.com/v2/ returns healthy

After Registry Restoration

1. Trigger acb-enrichment-build workflow template via:

   kubectl --kubeconfig=/home/coding/.kube/iad-ci.kubeconfig create -f - <<EOF
   apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
   kind: Workflow
   metadata:
     generateName: acb-enrichment-build-manual-
     namespace: argo-workflows
   spec:
     workflowTemplateRef:
       name: acb-enrichment-build
   EOF
   

2. Wait for image build and push to registry
3. Verify image exists: curl https://forgejo.ardenone.com/v2/ai-code-battle/acb-enrichment/tags/list
4. Monitor deployment: kubectl get deployment acb-enrichment -n ai-code-battle

Alternative Path (if registry can't be restored soon)

If Forgejo registry restoration is delayed, consider:

1. Push image to external registry (Docker Hub, GHCR)
2. Update deployment manifest with external registry image
3. Migrate to external registry permanently
