BF-22VC5 Infrastructure Blocker Summary (2026-06-04)

Task

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

Current State

What Works

  • Enrichment service source exists at cmd/acb-enrichment/
  • Dockerfile is correct and well-structured multi-stage Go build
  • WorkflowTemplate acb-enrichment-build exists in declarative-config
  • Deployment manifest exists with placeholder SHA (sha256:placeholder)
  • Webhook endpoint https://webhooks-ci.ardenone.com is healthy
  • ai-code-battle repo is accessible and can be pushed to

What's Broken/Missing

  • iad-ci.kubeconfig does not exist at /home/coding/.kube/iad-ci.kubeconfig
  • No kubeconfigs exist for any cluster (checked ~/.kube/)
  • Docker Hub image ronaldraygun/acb-enrichment has 0 tags (doesn't exist)
  • Cannot access iad-ci cluster to submit workflows or check status
  • Cannot verify if previous webhook triggers actually ran workflows

Why This Blocks the Task

To complete the task, I need to:

  1. Submit acb-enrichment-build workflow to iad-ci → Requires kubeconfig
  2. Monitor build and get image SHA → Requires kubeconfig
  3. Update deployment manifest with real SHA → Blocked by #2
  4. Push to declarative-config → Can do, but pointless without #3

Without the kubeconfig, I cannot submit the workflow or debug why the webhook trigger isn't producing images.

What Needs to Happen

The user needs to:

  1. Log in to Rackspace Spot console (iad-ci is a Rackspace Spot cluster)
  2. Navigate to cluster settings for iad-ci
  3. Generate kubeconfig for ServiceAccount argocd-manager (cluster-admin)
  4. Save to /home/coding/.kube/iad-ci.kubeconfig
  5. Re-assign this bead

Once kubeconfig exists, the workflow can be submitted:

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

Option B: Verify Secret Exists

Maybe the workflow is failing due to missing docker-hub-registry secret. With kubeconfig, check:

kubectl --kubeconfig=/home/coding/.kube/iad-ci.kubeconfig get secret docker-hub-registry -n argo-workflows

Option C: Alternative Build Method

If kubeconfig cannot be obtained:

  • Build image locally with Docker/Podman (not available on this server)
  • Push to Docker Hub manually (requires Docker Hub credentials)
  • Update deployment manifest with resulting SHA

Infrastructure Context

The iad-ci cluster is a Rackspace Spot cluster in us-east-iad-1 that runs:

  • Argo Workflows for CI/CD (all GitHub Actions are disabled)
  • Argo Events for webhook triggers
  • Build templates for various services including acb-enrichment

The webhook at https://webhooks-ci.ardenone.com/ai-code-battle should trigger the acb-enrichment-build workflow on push, but without cluster access we can't verify if:

  • The sensor is running
  • The workflow is being triggered
  • The workflow is failing (and why)

Files Ready to Update

Once the image is built and pushed:

  • /home/coding/declarative-config/k8s/apexalgo-iad/ai-code-battle/acb-enrichment-deployment.yml
    • Line 40: Replace sha256:placeholder with actual digest

Bead Outcome

DO NOT CLOSE BEAD - This task cannot be completed without the iad-ci kubeconfig.

The bead should be released for retry once the kubeconfig is provided.
