suggestion — v0.7.0 is the platform version, but it is labelled as the operator's.

v0.7.0 is rossoctl/rossoctl, released 2026-08-17, and that release pins operator-chart 0.3.0 (charts/rossoctl/Chart.yaml at tag v0.7.0). The operator's own latest release is v0.3.1-alpha.1 — there is no operator v0.7.x.

What makes this worth fixing rather than shrugging at is that this PR mixes both schemes in the same edit: here and at line 585 it reads "the current operator (v0.7.0)", while the new note at line 125 says "Older docs (operator 0.2+)" — which is real operator numbering, matching the 0.2.x → 0.3.x chart series. Read together, those imply five operator releases that never happened, in a section whose whole job is telling the reader which version they are on.

Something like on rossoctl v0.7.0 (operator-chart 0.3.0) keeps both numbers straight and stays true as the platform moves.

workload identity** (federated into Keycloak by the `rossoctl-operator-client-bootstrap`
post-install job in the `keycloak` namespace), not an admin username/password Secret.

Scope the version claim to operator v0.7.0.

The phrase “current operator (v0.7.0)” can become incorrect when a later operator version is installed. Replace “current operator” with “operator v0.7.0” or state the supported-version boundary explicitly.

suggestion — "in either namespace" reaches a little past what a fresh quickstart shows.

Two places still expect the Secret:

  1. The operator's own injector, in the workload namespace. operator/internal/webhook/injector/namespace_config.go:34 still defines KeycloakAdminSecretName = "keycloak-admin-secret", and the comment at 87-89 explains why it is absent from NamespaceConfig: "the resolved container builder uses SecretKeyRef to reference the secret by name." A SecretKeyRef pointing at a missing Secret is not a benign NotFound — the pod fails to start with CreateContainerConfigError.
  2. This demo's own automation. .github/scripts/kind/91-run-authbridge-weather-e2e.sh:60-64 hard-fails preflight if the Secret is absent from rossoctl-system, then syncs it into team1 at 67-75 "for sidecar compatibility." .github/scripts/operator/36-fix-keycloak-admin.sh:123 creates it.

So the claim is right for the client-registration path on a fresh Helm install, which is what you measured — it is the unqualified "either namespace is expected" that could bite: someone debugging via the e2e script hits that preflight failure and this doc tells them to ignore it.

Scoping it ("on a Helm quickstart, the operator's client registration needs no admin Secret in either namespace") would keep the useful part. And the doc-versus-automation disagreement is worth a follow-up issue regardless: either those scripts are legacy and should be cleaned up, or the sidecar path is still real and the demo needs to say so.

registration by the per-workload client credentials the operator writes instead:

```bash
kubectl get secret keycloak-admin-secret -n rossoctl-system
# One Secret per registered workload:
kubectl get secret -n team1 | grep rossoctl-keycloak-client-credentials
# ...and/or watch the operator apply registrations:
kubectl logs -n rossoctl-system deployment/rossoctl-controller-manager \
| grep "client registration applied" | tail

Make the log command follow new entries.

The comment says “watch”, but kubectl logs without --follow prints existing output and exits. If registration runs after the command starts, users can miss the success entry. Add --follow --tail=50, or change the comment to “inspect existing logs.”

Proposed fix 
 kubectl logs -n rossoctl-system deployment/rossoctl-controller-manager \
+  --follow --tail=50 \
   | grep "client registration applied"

nit — stated as unconditional, but it is a runtime toggle (and carries the same version label as line 111).

ClientRegistrationReconciler has UseSpiffeAuth bool, documented as: "When true, the operator authenticates to Keycloak with its JWT-SVID and uses the Admin API with manage-clients role. When false, uses admin credentials." So "the operator authenticates via its SPIFFE workload identity" describes one of two configured modes rather than a property of the release.

The practical advice is unaffected — as noted in the review body, the non-SPIFFE branch reads keycloak-initial-admin, so there is still no keycloak-admin-secret to check either way. Hence a nit: a clause like "when SPIFFE auth is enabled (the default in the quickstart)" would make it precise without changing the conclusion.

**no** `keycloak-admin-secret` to check.

**Fix:**

```bash
# 1. Verify the keycloak-admin-secret exists (operator 0.2+ keeps it in rossoctl-system)
kubectl get secret keycloak-admin-secret -n rossoctl-system
# 1. Confirm the operator registered a client for the workload
kubectl get secret -n team1 | grep rossoctl-keycloak-client-credentials
kubectl logs -n rossoctl-system deployment/rossoctl-controller-manager \

Add a verification step for the federation job.

The cause names rossoctl-operator-client-bootstrap as a possible failure, but the fix checks only the workload Secret, controller logs, and realm. Add kubectl get job and kubectl logs commands for that job in the keycloak namespace, or link to the existing federation verification procedure.
