Fixes #344

Problem

charts/developer-portal-fe/templates/configmap.yaml hand-wrote config.yaml and only covered 7 fields of the Developer Portal config schema, with app.name pinned to a literal. Application name/description, email-and-password auth, generic OAuth providers, db.ssl / db.schema / db.pool and the rest of the schema were unreachable from Helm — the documented customization steps could not be applied to a Helm deployment at all.

Implementation

config.yaml is now rendered from a new developerPortal.config block, passed through verbatim, so any field the application's config schema accepts is settable without a chart release. Mirroring the schema as per-field .Values keys was rejected — it would drift every time the application adds a field.

The connection settings the chart owns are merged in last and always win over developerPortal.config:

Config path Source
portal.url .Values.portal.url
portal.token ${PORTAL_TOKEN} (Secret)
db.url ${DB_URL} (Secret)
auth.secret ${AUTH_SECRET} (Secret)
app.baseURL, app.trustedOrigins .Values.app.*

Credentials such as auth.genericOAuthProviders[].clientSecret stay out of the ConfigMap: the application substitutes ${VAR} / ${VAR:default} across every string value of config.yaml at startup, so the documented pattern is a placeholder in developerPortal.config plus the real value injected through developerPortal.extraEnvVars. The chart README documents the pass-through model, the chart-owned keys, and this secret-injection pattern.

The application is also bumped 0.5.7 → 0.14.0. The pinned 0.5.7 schema predates db.schema, auth.adminUserIds, auth.twoFactor, auth.genericOAuthProviders, auth.sso and the app.applicationDetail / app.apiHub / app.signUpConsentLabel group, so those fields would be reachable from values but dropped by the running application.

Behavior change

  • An untouched values.yaml renders a config.yaml that parses to exactly the same document as before (key order and quoting differ, since the body is now toYaml output). Setting portal.token / db.url / auth.secret under developerPortal.config has no effect — the Secret-backed placeholders win.
  • The application upgrade requires auth.secret to be at least 32 characters; a shorter secret now fails validation at startup. Rotating it signs existing users out. The chart README carries this as an upgrade note.
  • auth.socialProviders is the one config field to avoid on 0.14.0 — its schema is mis-declared upstream (z.object(z.any()), fixed after 0.14.0) and setting it makes config parsing throw. auth.genericOAuthProviders covers the same ground and is unaffected.

Testing

ct lint did not cover this chart, so it is added to the lint list along with ci/full-config-values.yaml, which exercises the whole config surface — a template change that breaks the pass-through now fails CI.

Verified locally:

  • default render parses to the same document as the pre-change chart;
  • a values file covering every field of the gap table in developer-portal-fe: expose the full Developer Portal config surface (app.name/desc, emailAndPassword, genericOAuthProviders, db.ssl, ...) #344 renders, and the renders validate against the application's own Zod config schema (apps/site/src/lib/config/schema.ts);
  • the default render and the ci/ render both load successfully in the real api7/api7-ee-developer-portal-fe:v0.14.0 image (preflight gets past config validation to the portal connection check), and a short auth.secret fails there with the documented message;
  • values set under developerPortal.config for portal.url / portal.token / db.url / auth.secret / app.baseURL / app.trustedOrigins do not reach the rendered ConfigMap;
  • helm lint, ct lint, and helm-docs (v1.13.1, the version CI checks against) all pass.

…ues block

The chart hand-wrote config.yaml and covered only 7 fields of the Developer
Portal config schema, with app.name pinned to a literal. Application name and
description, email-and-password auth, generic OAuth providers, db.ssl/schema/
pool and the rest were unreachable from Helm.

Render config.yaml from developerPortal.config instead, so any field the
application schema accepts is settable without a chart release. The connection
settings the chart owns — portal.url, the Secret-backed ${PORTAL_TOKEN} /
${DB_URL} / ${AUTH_SECRET} placeholders, app.baseURL and app.trustedOrigins —
are merged last and always win, so credentials cannot be moved into the
ConfigMap by setting them there and an untouched values.yaml renders the same
config as before.

Credentials belong in ${VAR} placeholders plus developerPortal.extraEnvVars;
the application substitutes them across every string value at startup. Both
are documented in the chart README.

Also add the chart to `ct lint` with a ci values file that exercises the whole
config surface, so a template change that breaks the pass-through fails CI.

Warning

Review limit reached

You’ve reached a temporary PR review limit under our Fair Usage Limits Policy.

Your recent review volume is higher than typical usage, so adaptive limits are currently applied.

Next review available in: 47 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan. You completed 62 included PR reviews in the past 7 days; at that activity level, included reviews refill at 1 review per hour.

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Developer Portal Helm chart now accepts a full application configuration, merges chart-owned connection settings with precedence, documents environment-variable secret injection, adds configuration examples, updates the chart version, and includes the chart in Helm linting.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration values and rendering
charts/developer-portal-fe/values.yaml, charts/developer-portal-fe/templates/configmap.yaml, charts/developer-portal-fe/ci/full-config-values.yaml
The chart renders .Values.developerPortal.config and overwrites chart-owned portal, database, authentication, and application connection settings. The complete fixture covers database, authentication, application, API Hub, TLS, and secret-backed environment settings.
Configuration documentation
charts/developer-portal-fe/README.md, charts/developer-portal-fe/README.md.gotmpl
The documentation describes installation, configuration precedence, ConfigMap rollouts, environment-variable substitution, startup behavior, and configuration examples.
Chart packaging and CI validation
charts/developer-portal-fe/Chart.yaml, charts/developer-portal-fe/README.md, charts/developer-portal-fe/.helmignore, .github/workflows/ci.yaml
The chart version changes to 0.2.0. The generated README and CI directory are excluded from packages. Helm lint now validates this chart.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 11a59

The chart now passes arbitrary application configuration through to runtime, but CI does not validate the rendered configuration against the application schema, so unsupported fields or types could reach deployment and cause startup failures. Merge should wait for schema validation in CI or explicit owner acceptance.

Please resolve all errors before merging. Addressing warnings is optional.

❌ Failed checks (1 error, 1 warning)

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Security Check ❌ Error Category 1 CRITICAL: configmap.yaml:23 serializes all developerPortal.config with toYaml, so plaintext OAuth clientSecret or TLS keys enter a ConfigMap without redaction or validation. Reject plaintext credential fields before serialization, or render credential fields only as Secret-backed environment placeholders and fail Helm rendering when a literal secret is supplied.
E2e Test Quality Review ⚠️ Warning The PR adds only Helm chart linting and a values fixture; CI does not deploy developer-portal-fe or exercise the frontend with Portal/DB dependencies, so required E2E coverage is absent. Add an E2E job that installs this chart with test dependencies, verifies startup and configuration behavior, and exercises a representative portal, authentication, and database flow.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the developer-portal-fe Helm chart to render the application’s config.yaml from a new pass-through values block (developerPortal.config), allowing the full Developer Portal config schema to be configured via Helm while keeping chart-owned connection settings (and Secret-backed placeholders) authoritative.

Changes:

  • Render config.yaml from developerPortal.config and merge chart-owned connection settings last so they always win.
  • Document the pass-through model and the ${ENV} + extraEnvVars secret-injection pattern in the chart README.
  • Add chart-testing coverage inputs and include this chart in CI linting.

charts/developer-portal-fe/README.md:132

  • The Values table description says developerPortal.config is rendered “verbatim” into config.yaml, but the template merges chart-owned connection settings afterwards (overriding some paths). This description should match the actual behavior.
| developerPortal.config | object | `{"app":{"name":"Developer Portal"}}` | Developer Portal application config, rendered verbatim into `config.yaml` |

Comment thread charts/developer-portal-fe/README.md Outdated
The chart pinned 0.5.7, whose config schema predates db.schema,
auth.adminUserIds, auth.twoFactor, auth.genericOAuthProviders, auth.sso and
the app.applicationDetail / app.apiHub / app.signUpConsentLabel group — those
fields are now reachable from values but the pinned image would drop them.

0.14.0 keeps the container contract unchanged (same port, entrypoint and
/app/apps/site/config.yaml search path), and brings one breaking change:
auth.secret must be at least 32 characters. Both it and the one config field
to avoid on this version (auth.socialProviders, whose upstream schema is
mis-declared and fails to parse) are documented in the chart README, and the
ci values file leaves that field out.
…er the config block

"Verbatim" read as "no key is touched", which is wrong — the chart-owned
connection settings are merged over developerPortal.config.
