Add guarded live Tekton adapter surface by mdheller · Pull Request #61 · SocioProphet/agentplane

mdheller · 2026-04-27T22:33:19Z

Program objective

Move the SourceOS delegated runner from guarded intent toward a safe live Tekton adapter surface without changing the default fail-closed posture.

Workstream advanced

agentplane_sourceos_image_production_lane

This PR adds explicit --execute-live behavior for Tekton observe/submit modes while keeping all external mutation guarded.

Files changed

scripts/run_sourceos_delegated.py
.github/workflows/ci.yml

Evidence produced

The runner now supports:

record-only: no external mutation; --execute-live is rejected.
tekton-observe: can observe an existing PipelineRun via guarded kubectl get when --execute-live is supplied.
tekton-submit: can execute a guarded kubectl apply path when all of these are present:
- --allow-side-effects
- --execute-live
- --pipeline-run-manifest
- --kubeconfig-ref
- --kubeconfig-env
- --tekton-service-account-ref
- --tekton-namespace

The runner writes live adapter evidence under artifacts/.../live-tekton/ and records a liveTekton section in sourceos-delegated-execution-request.json.

Current score change

Agentplane SourceOS image-production lane:

Before: 81%
After: 84%
Band: production-grade threshold

Risks reduced

Adds a live adapter path without permitting accidental mutation.
Keeps record-only as the default.
Keeps secret handling reference-only.
Captures stdout/stderr refs and command metadata as evidence.
CI validates fail-closed behavior with a fake kubectl, so no real cluster is touched.

Risks still open

This still needs real environment testing against the SociOS-Linux/socios Tekton substrate.
Real PipelineRun naming, status harvesting, and Katello content ref extraction should be promoted from environment/ref inputs into live observation logic.

Validation

CI now exercises:

unsafe record-only --execute-live rejection
missing live credential/binary rejection
fake live tekton-observe
fake live tekton-submit
live adapter evidence capture and mode gate assertions

Pull request overview

This PR introduces an explicitly gated “live Tekton adapter” path for the SourceOS delegated runner, allowing controlled kubectl get/apply execution only when --execute-live is provided, while preserving the default fail-closed posture for side effects.

Changes:

Add --execute-live support, validation, and evidence capture for live Tekton observe/submit paths.
Record live adapter results under artifacts/.../live-tekton/ and embed a liveTekton section in sourceos-delegated-execution-request.json.
Extend CI to assert fail-closed behavior and exercise the live adapter via a fake kubectl.

require_non_empty() builds its own "{name} is required" message, but here it’s being passed a full sentence (e.g. "--kubeconfig-ref is required for live Tekton modes"). This will produce awkward duplicated errors like "--kubeconfig-ref is required for live Tekton modes is required". Pass only the flag name (e.g. "--kubeconfig-ref") or change require_non_empty() to accept a full error message.

Suggested change

require_non_empty(args.kubeconfig_ref, "--kubeconfig-ref is required for live Tekton modes")

require_non_empty(args.kubeconfig_env, "--kubeconfig-env is required for live Tekton modes")

credential_env(args)

if args.mode == "tekton-observe":

require_non_empty(args.pipeline_run_name, "--pipeline-run-name is required for live tekton-observe")

require_non_empty(args.tekton_namespace, "--tekton-namespace is required for live tekton-observe")

if args.mode == "tekton-submit":

require_non_empty(args.pipeline_run_manifest, "--pipeline-run-manifest is required for live tekton-submit")

require_non_empty(args.kubeconfig_ref, "--kubeconfig-ref")

require_non_empty(args.kubeconfig_env, "--kubeconfig-env")

require_non_empty(args.pipeline_run_name, "--pipeline-run-name")

+        if not args.execute_live:
+            require_non_empty(args.pipeline_run_ref, "--pipeline-run-ref is required for tekton-observe mode")
        mode_gate["requirement"] = "observe_existing_pipeline_run"


Same issue with require_non_empty() usage: passing a full sentence as the name parameter will lead to duplicated error text ("... is required is required"). Use just "--pipeline-run-ref" (or adjust the helper to accept a custom message) so the user-facing error is clean.

+        observed_ref = args.pipeline_run_ref or f"tekton://pipelinerun/{args.tekton_namespace}/{Path(args.pipeline_run_manifest).stem}"
+


For live tekton-submit, the fallback pipelineRunRef is derived from Path(pipeline_run_manifest).stem, which isn’t guaranteed to match metadata.name inside the manifest (or the actual created object name). This can record an incorrect tektonPipelineRunRef in artifacts. Consider extracting the name/namespace from the manifest (parse YAML) and/or capturing the created resource name from kubectl apply output (-o name/-o json) instead of using the filename.

+        stdout = exc.stdout or "" if isinstance(exc.stdout, str) else ""
+        stderr = exc.stderr or "" if isinstance(exc.stderr, str) else ""


The TimeoutExpired stdout/stderr assignments rely on or + conditional-expression precedence, which is hard to read and easy to get wrong during future edits. Consider rewriting these lines with explicit parentheses or a small helper that safely normalizes exc.stdout/exc.stderr to strings.

Suggested change

stdout = exc.stdout or "" if isinstance(exc.stdout, str) else ""

stderr = exc.stderr or "" if isinstance(exc.stderr, str) else ""

stdout = exc.stdout if isinstance(exc.stdout, str) and exc.stdout else ""

stderr = exc.stderr if isinstance(exc.stderr, str) and exc.stderr else ""
