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

Task

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

Status: CODE COMPLETE - INFRASTRUCTURE BLOCKED

Code Completion Status (ALL REQUIREMENTS MET ✅)

Verified Components

1. Enrichment source - Located at cmd/acb-enrichment/ with valid Go code
2. Dockerfile - Multi-stage Go build verified valid
   • Build stage: golang:1.25-alpine
   • Runtime stage: alpine:3.19
   • Non-root user (acb:1000)
3. Deployment manifest - manifests/acb-enrichment-deployment.yml
   • Image: forgejo.ardenone.com/ai-code-battle/acb-enrichment:sha-97b4b0f
   • Replicas: 1 (deployment IS enabled, not disabled)
4. WorkflowTemplate acb-enrichment-build - Exists in declarative-config at k8s/iad-ci/argo-workflows/
5. WorkflowTemplate acb-images-build - Includes enrichment build task (lines 162-174)

Commit History

• 97b4b0f - CI trigger for acb-images-build (enrichment)
• ce48ad2 - Added enrichment to acb-images-build workflow
• ca0093d - Synced enrichment manifest with SHA 97b4b0f

Infrastructure Blockers

1. Forgejo Registry Down (PRIMARY BLOCKER)

Location: apexalgo-iad cluster, forgejo namespace

Current Pod Status (2026-06-04):

forgejo-785c7dff4b-r5fbr          0/2     Pending   3h
forgejo-runner-6b4d65b6cf-6bsxn   0/2     Pending   70m
forgejo-runner-6b4d65b6cf-cp7sr   0/2     Pending   5h
forgejo-runner-6b4d65b6cf-ln76m   0/2     Pending   7h

Scheduler Failure:

0/3 nodes are available: 3 Insufficient cpu. preemption: 0/3 nodes are available

Registry Status:

curl https://forgejo.ardenone.com/v2/
→ "no available server"

Cluster Scope Issue:

• 254 pending pods across the cluster (systemic overprovisioning)
• Nodes show CPU availability but scheduler still fails (likely resource quota or other constraint)

2. Build Workflow Access (SECONDARY BLOCKER)

Issue: No iad-ci.kubeconfig available on this machine

Workarounds Attempted:

• Read-only proxy: 403 Forbidden (observer SA cannot create workflows)
• Direct kubeconfig: File doesn't exist at ~/.kube/iad-ci.kubeconfig
• ardenone-manager proxy: No workflow access found
• rs-manager proxy: No workflow access found

acb-enrichment Deployment Status

Current Pods on apexalgo-iad:

acb-enrichment-777748bdb7-9d2rf   0/1     ImagePullBackOff   27m
acb-enrichment-7d6d985488-jsxn9   0/1     Pending            5m

Reason: Image pull fails because Forgejo registry is down

Deployment Image: forgejo.ardenone.com/ai-code-battle/acb-enrichment:sha-97b4b0f

Required Actions (INFRASTRUCTURE TEAM)

1. Free CPU capacity on apexalgo-iad - Scale down workloads or add nodes
2. Restart Forgejo pods once CPU is available
3. Verify image sha-97b4b0f exists in registry (or rebuild if not)
4. Provide iad-ci kubeconfig for manual workflow submission access

Task Discrepancy Note

The task description mentions:

"acb-enrichment-deployment.yml was disabled because it had a placeholder SHA (sha256:placeholder)... rename acb-enrichment-deployment.yml.disabled back to acb-enrichment-deployment.yml"

Current State:

• No .disabled file found in declarative-config
• Deployment manifest IS enabled (replicas: 1)
• Image SHA is real (sha-97b4b0f), not placeholder

The task description appears to be outdated or from a previous state. The manifest was already fixed in commit ca0093d.

Retrospective

What worked

• Systematic investigation confirmed all code requirements are met
• Git history analysis showed build workflow was properly configured
• Both acb-enrichment-build and acb-images-build workflows exist

What didn't

• Infrastructure blocker (Forgejo registry down) prevents any deployment progress
• Missing iad-ci kubeconfig prevents manual workflow trigger
• Cluster overprovisioning (254 pending pods) is a systemic issue

Surprise

• Task description mentioned "placeholder SHA" and ".disabled" file, but these don't exist
• Current state shows manifest already enabled with real SHA
• Investigation notes from previous sessions already documented this situation

Reusable pattern

1. Verify infrastructure health before assuming code issues - The code was complete but infrastructure blocked progress
2. Check git history for recent fixes - The manifest SHA was already synced in previous commits
3. Document cluster-wide issues - 254 pending pods indicates systemic problem, not just Forgejo

Conclusion

CODE REQUIREMENTS: COMPLETE ✅ INFRASTRUCTURE: BLOCKED ❌

The development task requirements are met:

• Source code exists and is valid
• Dockerfile is correct
• Deployment manifest has real image SHA
• CI workflow is configured
• Deployment is enabled (replicas: 1)

Deployment requires infrastructure intervention to:

1. Resolve CPU overprovisioning on apexalgo-iad
2. Restore Forgejo registry operation
3. Trigger build or verify image exists

Bead NOT closed due to infrastructure blocker.
