…ter to lfx-platform Adds a new, independent charts/lfx-crds chart that installs the CloudNativePG operator and its CRDs, and a plain CloudNativePG Cluster custom-resource template in charts/lfx-platform (gated by cloudNativePG.enabled, default true) -- the shared, single-instance, local-development Postgres cluster per-service charts' "database" mode targets via a CloudNativePG Database CR. charts/lfx-crds is deliberately a second, standalone chart rather than a subchart dependency of lfx-platform: Helm can't install a chart dependency's CRDs and render a custom resource that depends on them in the same install/upgrade, so the operator has to land first, as its own chart. It is local-development only -- deployed environments never install it. Since this repo's existing release workflow assumed exactly one chart per tag (`yq '.name' charts/*/Chart.yaml`), also split release.yaml into a per-chart job pair: bare vX.Y.Z tags continue to release lfx-platform as before, and a new lfx-crds-vX.Y.Z tag prefix releases charts/lfx-crds independently. Also fixes the MegaLinter KUBERNETES_HELM config (which only accepts a single chart path) to additionally lint charts/lfx-crds via a pre-command, and documents the required lfx-crds-then-lfx-platform local install order in docs/platform-chart.md, the helm-local-stack skill, and the repo READMEs.

- Without
--wait, Helm can return before the CloudNativePG Deployment is ready. The chart installs fail-closed admission webhooks forCluster, so running the documented platform install immediately afterward can fail with an unavailable webhook. Wait for the operator release to become ready.

Hi @emsearcy — nicely structured change. Splitting the CRD/operator install into a standalone charts/lfx-crds chart is the right call given Helm's "can't install a dependency's CRDs and render a CR from them in one shot" constraint, and the release-workflow split (bare v* for platform, lfx-crds-v* for the new chart) is clean and well-commented. The template gating, values wiring, and cspell/mega-linter updates all check out.
One blocking gap: the new install order is documented in the files you touched, but the two canonical fresh-install guides still install lfx-platform without lfx-crds first, and cloudNativePG.enabled defaults to true — so a fresh bring-up following those guides renders a Cluster before its CRD exists and fails.
Issue count:
- 🔴 Blocking: 1 — canonical fresh-install docs (
charts/lfx-platform/README.md,docs/local-platform-getting-started.md) not updated for the requiredlfx-crds-first step. - 🟡 Minor: 2 —
docs/platform-chart.mdfresh-cluster block omitskubectl create namespace lfx; install order doesn't wait for operator/webhook readiness before the platform install. - ⚪ Nit: 1 —
kubeVersionfrom thecloudnative-pgdependency not propagated tocharts/lfx-crds/Chart.yaml. - ❔ Question: 1 —
cloudNativePG.enableddefaults totrueand relies onlfx-v2-argocdoverriding it tofalseper environment.
Blocking detail
charts/lfx-platform/README.md (install section) and docs/local-platform-getting-started.md (Bring-up flow) both run helm install -n lfx lfx-platform ... with no preceding lfx-crds install. Because charts/lfx-platform/values.yaml now defaults cloudNativePG.enabled: true, templates/cloudnativepg/cluster.yaml renders a postgresql.cnpg.io/v1 Cluster on a fresh cluster where that CRD doesn't yet exist → install fails. The README nav note and docs/platform-chart.md got the new order right, but these two step-by-step guides — the ones a new contributor actually follows — did not. Add the lfx-crds install (and readiness gate) to both, or point them at the docs/platform-chart.md install order.
Bot reconciliation
- Agree with CodeRabbit on the missing namespace step and the CRD/operator readiness race, and with Copilot on
kubeVersionpropagation and the readiness race. Folded into the inline comments above. - Copilot flagged
README.mdpresenting a stale canonical install flow; that nav note was updated in this PR to mentionlfx-crdsfirst. The actual unaddressed gap is one level down incharts/lfx-platform/README.mdanddocs/local-platform-getting-started.md, which is what I'm blocking on. - Agree with CodeRabbit that deployed environments must set
cloudNativePG.enabled: false; raised as a question since that contract is owned inlfx-v2-argocd.
No security or data-privacy surface in this change (Helm/docs/CI only, no application code).
🔴 Needs changes before approval
Address dealako's blocking finding and the minor/nit items raised by dealako and CodeRabbit: - Add the required lfx-crds install step (and cloudNativePG.enabled default caveat) to the two canonical fresh-install guides that were missing it: charts/lfx-platform/README.md and docs/local-platform-getting-started.md. Following those guides as written previously failed on a fresh cluster. - Add kubectl create namespace lfx to the fresh-cluster install block in docs/platform-chart.md, matching charts/lfx-crds/README.md and the helm-local-stack skill. - Use helm install --wait for lfx-crds everywhere it's documented, so the operator Deployment and its fail-closed admission webhooks are ready before the following lfx-platform install. - Narrow the Helm CRD explanation in charts/lfx-crds/README.md and docs/platform-chart.md: the pinned cloudnative-pg dependency defines its CRDs under templates/crds/, not the crds/ directory, so Helm's built-in CRD-first/wait handling does not apply here. - Propagate the cloudnative-pg dependency's kubeVersion constraint (>=1.29.0-0) to charts/lfx-crds/Chart.yaml so an unsupported cluster fails fast. cloudNativePG.enabled keeps its default of true: this is consistent with per-service subcharts defaulting their own postgres mode to CNPG "database", per discussion on the PR.

- The shared cluster is enabled by default, but the umbrella values do not configure any service to use it. In particular, the pinned
lfx-v2-newsletter-servicechart defaults todatabase.mode: externalanddatabase.cloudNativePG.clusterName: ""; itsDatabaseCR is rendered only indatabase/cluster+databasemode. Consequently, the documented fresh local install createslfx-postgresbut no service database, and newsletter still expects an external database.

Restructure the CloudNativePG-operator prerequisite note added in 336c8d2: rather than one shared code block with both an OCI and a from-source lfx-crds command (which a reader has to match against an install section they haven't reached yet), each of "Installing via the OCI registry" and "Installing from source" now inlines the matching lfx-crds command with a parallel "# First: ... / # Then: ..." two-step structure, mirroring the existing platform-chart install shape.

- The shared cluster is not wired to the pinned service chart that can consume it.
lfx-v2-newsletter-servicev0.1.13 defaults todatabase.mode: externalandcloudNativePG.clusterName: "", while the umbrella's newsletter values override neither setting. A default local install therefore renders noDatabaseCR and does not targetlfx-postgres, leaving the new cluster unused. Configure that subchart withdatabase.mode: databaseandcloudNativePG.clusterName: lfx-postgres(ideally deriving both names from one value).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Qualify the Kubernetes prerequisite for the enabled default.
The prerequisite at Lines 8-9 still says Kubernetes 1.19+, but this change documents cloudNativePG.enabled as true by default. The new charts/lfx-crds/Chart.yaml constraint requires Kubernetes 1.29 or newer. A default local installation on Kubernetes 1.19 through 1.28 will therefore fail.
Update the prerequisite to say 1.29+ for the default local installation, or state that Kubernetes 1.19+ applies only when cloudNativePG.enabled=false.

All prior-round findings resolved (blocking install-docs gap, namespace step, operator-readiness race, kubeVersion propagation) and the cloudNativePG.enabled default question was answered with a reasonable rationale. No new issues in the follow-up commits. See the summary comment for details.
Re-points OpenFGA at the shared, umbrella-provisioned CloudNativePG Cluster instead of its own bundled Bitnami postgresql subchart: - Disables openfga.postgresql (Bitnami) and renders a CloudNativePG Database custom resource via openfga.extraObjects instead of patching OpenFGA's own postgres values. - Builds OPENFGA_DATASTORE_URI in extraEnvVars from the CloudNativePG operator's generated <clusterName>-app secret (PGHOST/PGPORT/PGUSER/PGPASSWORD), rather than via datastore.uri/uriSecret/existingSecret, since splitting the connection across OPENFGA_DATASTORE_URI/USERNAME/PASSWORD hits a known regression in the `openfga migrate` CLI used by the migration initContainer (openfga/openfga#2493). - Removes the now-unused templates/openfga/db-secrets.yaml, which generated Bitnami-shaped secrets. Verified locally: helm install of charts/lfx-crds followed by charts/lfx-platform (openfga + traefik + fga-operator enabled) against an OrbStack cluster -- the CNPG Cluster reaches healthy, the Database CR applies, the migrate initContainer connects and runs migrations, and fga-operator successfully creates the store and writes the authorization model. Deployed environments are unaffected: lfx-v2-argocd's values/global/lfx-platform.yaml already fully overrides openfga.datastore and openfga.extraEnvVars (array values replace rather than merge), and a companion guard PR (linuxfoundation/lfx-v2-argocd#1450) adds an explicit openfga.extraObjects: [] override there too.

Thanks @emsearcy — this round adds the actual OpenFGA-to-CloudNativePG wiring (0c1f7fe4), and it's cleanly done. I traced the whole connection path and it holds together.
👏 Nice work
- The
extraObjects+extraEnvVarsintegration is the right call: rather than patching OpenFGA's bundled Bitnamipostgresql.*, you disable that subchart and render a CloudNativePGDatabaseCR against the shared cluster. I confirmed openfga0.2.62supports both keys (extraEnvVarsandextraObjectsare real value hooks, rendered viatoYamlin list order into both the migrate initContainer and the main container). - The
$(PGUSER)/$(PGPASSWORD)composition intoOPENFGA_DATASTORE_URIis correct:PGHOST/PGPORT/PGUSER/PGPASSWORDare declared beforeOPENFGA_DATASTORE_URIin the sameextraEnvVarslist, so Kubernetes dependent-env interpolation resolves them. - No env collision: because you removed
datastore.uriSecretand set neitheruri/uriSecret/existingSecret, the subchart helper (_helpers.tpl) emits noOPENFGA_DATASTORE_URIof its own — the one inextraEnvVarsis the sole definition. Nicely avoided a double-set. - The comments explaining the
openfga migrateregression (openfga/openfga#2493) and the "secret name must match<clusterName>-app" invariant are genuinely useful for the next reader, and thedocs/platform-chart.mdwriteup documents the deployed-env override contract (datastore/extraEnvVars/extraObjects→ external RDS). - Deleting the old
db-secrets.yaml(random-password generator +lookup) is the correct cleanup now that the operator owns credential generation via the-appsecret.
Revision status — all prior-round items remain resolved; this commit is purely additive (OpenFGA datastore repoint). Nothing regressed.

Security / privacy: No findings. Credentials come from the operator-generated lfx-postgres-app secret via secretKeyRef, not hardcoded. The URI expands the password into an env var at container runtime (same exposure profile as the template you deleted, and local-dev only). sslmode=disable carries over unchanged from the previous wiring and is fine for the in-cluster local dev path.

- The CodeRabbit and Copilot inline comments now showing on
0c1f7fe4are stale re-anchors of items already resolved last round (README install order,kubeVersion, namespace step,--wait) — each has your "Fixed" reply and, for CodeRabbit, a "thread resolved" ack. Nothing new actionable on the OpenFGA commit itself. - Copilot's "3 comments" on this review are the same carried-over README/kubeVersion notes, not new findings against the datastore change.

[nit] Hardcoded cluster/secret name is coupled to cloudNativePG.cluster.name but not derived from it
Issue: lfx-postgres here (and lfx-postgres-app in the extraEnvVars secretKeyRefs below) must stay in lockstep with cloudNativePG.cluster.name at line 159 and the operator's generated <clusterName>-app secret. Nothing enforces that; a rename of cloudNativePG.cluster.name silently breaks OpenFGA's DB wiring with no template error.
Proof: These are literal strings inside openfga.extraObjects/extraEnvVars, which Helm passes to the subchart verbatim — values files can't reference other values, so the coupling can't be templated away here.
Why it matters: Low. Local-dev only, and you've documented the "must match" constraint in the surrounding comments, which is the right mitigation given the Helm limitation. Flagging only so the coupling is a conscious, commented invariant (it already is).
Fix: None required. If this ever moves beyond local dev, consider generating these objects from a small template helper in this chart instead of the subchart escape hatch. Take-it-or-leave-it.
