Summary

  • Control Plane: New ambient-control-plane Go service that watches the ambient-api-server via gRPC streams and reconciles desired state into Kubernetes (sessions → Jobs, projects → Namespaces/RoleBindings). Supports kube, local, and test modes.
  • Runner: gRPC-based AG-UI event streaming for the Python runner — GRPCSessionListener watches inbound session messages, GRPCMessageWriter pushes structured AG-UI events back, with full structured logging and observability.
  • Manifests: RBAC, gRPC Service/Route, kind/production overlays, and CI image build for the control plane.

184-192: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Harden shutdown so one cleanup failure does not block the rest.

At Line 187, if self._grpc_listener.stop() throws, self._session_manager.shutdown() and self._obs.finalize() are skipped. That can leave state unflushed during process termination.

Suggested fix
 async def shutdown(self) -> None:
     """Graceful shutdown: persist sessions, finalise tracing."""
-    if self._grpc_listener:
-        await self._grpc_listener.stop()
-    if self._session_manager:
-        await self._session_manager.shutdown()
-    if self._obs:
-        await self._obs.finalize()
+    if self._grpc_listener:
+        try:
+            await self._grpc_listener.stop()
+        except Exception:
+            logger.exception("ClaudeBridge: failed stopping gRPC listener")
+    if self._session_manager:
+        try:
+            await self._session_manager.shutdown()
+        except Exception:
+            logger.exception("ClaudeBridge: failed shutting down session manager")
+    if self._obs:
+        try:
+            await self._obs.finalize()
+        except Exception:
+            logger.exception("ClaudeBridge: failed finalizing observability")
     logger.info("ClaudeBridge: shutdown complete")

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/ambient-control-plane-tests.yml:
- Around line 1-3: Add an explicit permissions block to the "Control Plane Unit
Tests" workflow to grant least-privilege tokens; update the top-level workflow
(the job that begins under the "Control Plane Unit Tests" name and the existing
on: trigger) to include a permissions: section that only grants the scopes your
tests require (for example: permissions: contents: read and any other minimal
scopes such as packages: read or id-token: write if your jobs need them),
removing the default broad token privileges.

In `@components/ambient-control-plane/cmd/ambient-control-plane/main.go`:
- Around line 180-188: grpcCredentials currently calls loadServiceCAPool() which
re-reads the service CA file; instead accept or reuse the already-loaded cert
pool to avoid repeated file reads. Change grpcCredentials(useTLS bool) to
grpcCredentials(useTLS bool, pool *x509.CertPool) (or use a package-level
cachedPool set in main()), and when useTLS is true construct
credentials.NewTLS(&tls.Config{MinVersion: tls.VersionTLS12, RootCAs: pool}) so
callers (e.g., main) pass the pool loaded at startup from loadServiceCAPool;
update all grpcCredentials call sites accordingly.
- Around line 171-178: installServiceCAIntoDefaultTransport currently replaces
http.DefaultTransport with a brand-new http.Transport which discards proxy,
timeouts, keep-alive, and pooling; instead, obtain the existing transport by
type-asserting http.DefaultTransport to *http.Transport (fall back to
http.DefaultTransport.(*http.Transport) safely), clone it (use the Clone method
if available) or shallow-copy it, then set/ensure TLSClientConfig with
MinVersion tls.VersionTLS12 and RootCAs = pool and finally assign the modified
clone back to http.DefaultTransport so all original defaults (proxy, timeouts,
connection pooling) are preserved.

In `@components/ambient-control-plane/Dockerfile`:
- Line 17: The Dockerfile uses an unstable base image tag ("FROM
registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi-minimal:latest") which makes builds
non-reproducible; replace the ":latest" with an immutable version tag or digest
(e.g., the same pinned tag/digest style used by public-api, ambient-runner,
state-sync) so the FROM directive is deterministic and audited—update the
Dockerfile's FROM line to reference that specific tag or sha256 digest and
verify the image checksum matches the repository policy.

In `@components/ambient-control-plane/Dockerfile.simple`:
- Line 1: The Dockerfile.simple currently uses an unpinned base image
"registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi-minimal:latest"; replace that with a
specific released tag or an immutable digest (for example
"registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi-minimal:<RELEASE_TAG>" or
"registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi-minimal@sha256:<DIGEST>") and update the
build pipeline to inject/verify that tag or digest so rebuilds are deterministic
and do not drift across identical commits.

In `@components/ambient-control-plane/docs/api-surface.md`:
- Around line 136-145: The docs currently describe query params `search` (SQL
WHERE fragment) and `orderBy` (SQL ORDER BY fragment), which exposes a SQL
injection surface; update the API surface docs to remove raw SQL examples and
instead describe a structured `filters` parameter (e.g., JSON or repeated
key/value pairs with explicit operators) and a `sort` parameter that only
accepts an allow-listed set of sortable field names and directions (e.g.,
`field:asc|desc`), and document validation/tenant-scoping rules for these
parameters so callers cannot supply arbitrary SQL; reference the `search` and
`orderBy` entries and replace them with the new `filters` and `sort` parameter
descriptions and examples plus mention of server-side allow-listing and operator
constraints.

In `@components/ambient-control-plane/internal/informer/informer.go`:
- Line 105: The Run() startup currently calls initialSync() which writes ADDED
events into eventCh (buffered 256) before dispatchLoop() and watch handlers are
running, allowing dispatchBlocking() to deadlock and causing missed mutations;
fix by starting the dispatcher and wiring watch handlers (i.e., start
dispatchLoop() / its goroutine and any watch handler registration) before
calling initialSync(), and ensure watches are started with the snapshot's
resourceVersion (handoff) so watch requests resume from the snapshot; update
code paths referencing initialSync(), dispatchLoop(), dispatchBlocking(), and
eventCh to reflect this ordering change.

In `@components/ambient-control-plane/internal/reconciler/kube_reconciler.go`:
- Around line 210-240: ensureNamespaceExists currently skips calling
ensureImagePullAccess when a namespace already exists and
ensureImagePullAccess/create logic always uses the same RoleBinding name
(ambient-image-puller) in RunnerImageNamespace, so later namespaces never get
added as subjects; change ensureNamespaceExists to always call
ensureImagePullAccess(namespace) regardless of whether the namespace pre-exists,
and modify ensureImagePullAccess to reconcile (Get then Create/Update) the
RoleBinding in RunnerImageNamespace: ensure the RoleBinding's subjects include
the ServiceAccount (or namespace-scoped subject) for the passed namespace
instead of only attempting a Create and ignoring AlreadyExists; alternatively
make the RoleBinding name unique per target namespace (include the target
namespace in the RoleBinding name) so each session namespace is granted pull
access. Ensure these changes touch ensureNamespaceExists and
ensureImagePullAccess and the use of RunnerImageNamespace / ambient-image-puller
RoleBinding reconciliation.
- Around line 425-429: The runner currently unconditionally sets
AMBIENT_GRPC_CA_CERT_FILE, SSL_CERT_FILE, and REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE to
/etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/service-ca.crt even though the "service-ca"
ConfigMap key "openshift-service-ca.crt" is optional; modify the reconciler
logic in kube_reconciler.go so those env vars are only added when the service-ca
configmap/key is actually present or successfully mounted (i.e., check existence
of the ConfigMap/key before adding the volume/volumeMount and env vars),
otherwise omit the env vars (or leave them unset) to avoid pointing TLS clients
at a missing file; update the same conditional behavior where env vars are
currently set (references: the "service-ca" configMap entry and the
AMBIENT_GRPC_CA_CERT_FILE, SSL_CERT_FILE, REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE env var
assignments).

In
`@components/ambient-control-plane/internal/reconciler/project_settings_reconciler.go`:
- Around line 190-199: The mapRoleToClusterRole function currently maps any
unknown role to "ambient-project-view", which can silently grant unintended
access; change mapRoleToClusterRole to validate inputs and not silently
default—either return an error (e.g., change signature to (string) (string,
error)) or return an explicit sentinel like "" and log a warning when role is
unrecognized, and update callers to handle the error/sentinel (in functions that
call mapRoleToClusterRole) by rejecting the request or applying a safe fallback;
reference the mapRoleToClusterRole function name and adjust its callers to
surface logging (use existing logger) or propagate the error rather than
assuming view access.
- Around line 130-138: The loop that iterates over entries currently logs errors
from ensureGroupRoleBinding but returns nil, hiding failures; change this to
propagate errors by collecting failures and returning an aggregated error (or
return immediately on first failure if you prefer atomic behavior).
Specifically, in the method containing the for _, entry := range entries loop,
keep calling ensureGroupRoleBinding(ctx, namespace, entry.GroupName, entry.Role)
but on error append it to an error slice (or wrap it into a multi-error using
fmt.Errorf or an errors.Join-equivalent) and continue, then after the loop
return the combined error if any (while retaining the existing r.logger.Error()
calls for visibility); alternatively implement the early-return variant by
returning the first non-nil error from ensureGroupRoleBinding immediately.
- Around line 67-71: The namespace derived in ensureProjectSettings currently
uses strings.ToLower(ps.ProjectID) which doesn't remove invalid characters
(e.g., underscores) and will break Kubernetes API calls; replace that
construction with the existing sanitizer (call
sanitizeK8sName(strings.ToLower(ps.ProjectID))) used in project_reconciler.go so
the name is stripped/truncated to a valid k8s namespace, and make the same
change in namespaceForSession (shared.go) which kube_reconciler.go relies on so
all namespaces are normalized to the k8s-safe form.

In `@components/ambient-control-plane/internal/reconciler/stress_test.go`:
- Around line 344-347: The test currently calls t.Errorf inside goroutines
(where tallyReconciler.Reconcile is invoked), which causes data races; change
this by creating an errors channel (e.g., errs := make(chan string, N)) or a
slice protected by a mutex, have each goroutine send its formatted error string
(using index, err, etc.) to that channel instead of calling t.Errorf, close the
channel after wg.Wait() (or send to a buffered channel and then wg.Wait() then
close), and after wg.Wait() range over errs and call t.Errorf for each collected
message so all test failure reporting happens on the main test goroutine. Ensure
references to tallyReconciler.Reconcile(ctx, event) and the loop index are
preserved when building the error message.

In `@components/ambient-control-plane/internal/reconciler/tally_reconciler.go`:
- Around line 98-106: The deletion handler in SessionTallyReconciler
(handleSessionDeleted) decrements r.tally.TotalSessions unconditionally which
can drive TotalSessions negative for orphaned delete events; guard the decrement
by checking r.tally.TotalSessions > 0 before doing r.tally.TotalSessions-- (or
clamp to 0 if you prefer), leaving the existing SessionsByPhase logic as-is (it
already checks >0); update only the decrement for r.tally.TotalSessions to
prevent negative counts.

In `@components/ambient-control-plane/internal/reconciler/tally.go`:
- Around line 26-44: The TallyReconciler currently stores an unused sdk
*sdkclient.Client field and accepts it in NewTallyReconciler; remove the unused
field and constructor parameter to avoid confusion: delete the sdk field from
the TallyReconciler struct, change NewTallyReconciler to no longer accept the
sdk *sdkclient.Client parameter and adjust its return instantiation accordingly,
and update all call sites that invoke NewTallyReconciler to stop passing an
sdkclient.Client; if you intend to keep the field for future use, alternatively
mark it clearly with a comment and prefix it with an underscore (e.g., _sdk) so
linters and readers know it is intentionally unused.

In `@components/ambient-control-plane/Makefile`:
- Around line 11-13: The binary target fails on a clean checkout because the
parent directory for $(BINARY_NAME) (e.g., bin/) is removed elsewhere and the
binary target never recreates it; update the binary target (refer to target name
"binary" and variable "BINARY_NAME") to ensure the output directory exists
before running go build—create the parent directory (e.g., via mkdir -p on the
directory of $(BINARY_NAME)) as a prerequisite or as a pre-build step so go
build can write the output successfully.

In `@components/manifests/base/ambient-control-plane-service.yml`:
- Around line 17-46: The pod spec using serviceAccountName ambient-control-plane
must be hardened: add a pod-level securityContext and a container-level
securityContext for the container named ambient-control-plane that set
runAsNonRoot: true (and a non-root runAsUser), set allowPrivilegeEscalation:
false, readOnlyRootFilesystem: true, drop capabilities to ["ALL"], and set
seccompProfile: { type: RuntimeDefault }; ensure these fields are added
alongside the existing resources/env entries so the pod and container
securityContext blocks are present and correctly indented.

In `@components/manifests/base/core/ambient-api-server-service.yml`:
- Around line 81-82: The manifest currently points --https-cert-file and
--https-key-file at /secrets/tls/... which doesn't exist; update the flag values
to the mounted secret path (/etc/tls/tls.crt and /etc/tls/tls.key) wherever
these flags appear (the arg entries for --https-cert-file and --https-key-file
in the server container spec, including the duplicate occurrence later in the
args block) so the server loads the certificate pair from the actual tls-certs
mount.

In `@components/manifests/base/platform/ambient-api-server-db.yml`:
- Around line 61-62: The image field currently uses an unstable tag
("registry.redhat.io/rhel9/postgresql-16:latest"); update the image in this
manifest to a fixed, immutable reference (either a specific release tag or a
sha256 digest) and keep imagePullPolicy as needed—edit the image value in the
same resource where image and imagePullPolicy are defined to use a tested
release tag (e.g., postgresql-16:<version>) or the full digest (sha256:...) so
pod recreations are deterministic.

In `@components/manifests/base/rbac/control-plane-clusterrole.yaml`:
- Around line 21-27: The ClusterRole currently grants cluster-wide
create/update/patch/delete rights for namespace resources (apiGroups: [""],
resources: ["secrets","serviceaccounts","services","pods"]) and batch jobs
(apiGroups: ["batch"], resources: ["jobs"]); remove those dangerous verbs from
the ClusterRole and restrict it to only read verbs (["get","list","watch"]) for
those resources and only keep the minimal ability to bootstrap namespaces (e.g.,
allow "create" on the "namespaces" resource) so the control plane cannot act as
cluster-wide workload admin. Move all create/update/patch/delete permissions for
pods/jobs/services/secrets/serviceaccounts into a separate namespaced Role and
bind it with a RoleBinding only in the controller-owned namespaces your
controller manages. Update the entries referencing apiGroups: [""] resources:
["secrets","serviceaccounts","services","pods"] and apiGroups: ["batch"]
resources: ["jobs"] accordingly and add the namespaced Role/RoleBinding for
those create/delete operations.

In `@components/manifests/base/rbac/control-plane-sa.yaml`:
- Around line 7-14: Remove the static Secret manifest
`ambient-control-plane-token` and stop using `secretKeyRef:
ambient-control-plane-token` for `AMBIENT_API_TOKEN`; instead modify the
control-plane Pod/Deployment to mount a projected serviceAccountToken volume
(use a volume with projected.sources.serviceAccountToken, set the
`serviceAccountName` to `ambient-control-plane`, specify `expirationSeconds` and
an appropriate `audience`) and mount it into the container (e.g.
/var/run/secrets/tokens/ambient-control-plane-token); then update the container
to obtain `AMBIENT_API_TOKEN` from that mounted file (have the process read the
token file path at startup or wire a small wrapper/entrypoint to export it into
the env), ensuring you keep the `ambient-control-plane` ServiceAccount and
remove the `kubernetes.io/service-account-token` Secret manifest.

In `@components/manifests/base/rbac/kustomization.yaml`:
- Around line 20-21: The file components/manifests/base/rbac/kustomization.yaml
contains trailing blank lines causing YAML lint "too many blank lines"; open
kustomization.yaml and remove any extra empty lines at the end of the file so
the file ends immediately after the final YAML document/content (no blank
newline sequences), then save to ensure YAMLlint passes.

In `@components/manifests/deploy`:
- Around line 272-291: The script writes secrets to OAUTH_ENV_FILE and mutates
overlays/production in place without guaranteed cleanup; change it to create a
temporary working directory and temp oauth file (e.g., with mktemp and a WORKDIR
variable), set OAUTH_ENV_FILE to that temp path, copy overlays/production into
WORKDIR and run kustomize/edit/build against that copy, and install a trap 'rm
-rf "$WORKDIR" "$OAUTH_ENV_FILE"' on EXIT before any secret/file operations so
CLIENT_SECRET_VALUE and COOKIE_SECRET_VALUE are written outside the repo and
always removed on failure or exit; update any later references that expect
overlays/production or OAUTH_ENV_FILE to point to the temp copies.
- Around line 97-109: The fallback block prints the live OAuth client secret
(CLIENT_SECRET_VALUE) which leaks credentials; update the fallback instructions
inside the OAUTH_APPLY_RC error branch so it does not echo the real secret (used
for ambient-frontend) — replace the printed secret line with a safe placeholder
(e.g., "secret: <REDACTED>" or instructions to generate/set a secret) or omit
the secret line and note "set secret manually" so the real CLIENT_SECRET_VALUE
is never written to stdout or CI logs; ensure references to ambient-frontend and
frontend-oauth-config remain clear so an admin knows which resource to update.
- Around line 73-90: The oauth_setup currently warns when ROUTE_HOST is empty
but continues to create an OAuthClient with a broken redirectURI; change the
logic so oauth_setup (the block that checks ROUTE_HOST and then writes
/tmp/ambient-frontend-oauthclient.yaml) exits with a non-zero status if
ROUTE_HOST is empty instead of proceeding — i.e., after the empty check for
ROUTE_HOST, call echo to stderr and run exit 1 (or return a failure from the
enclosing function) so the redirectURIs line (-
https://${ROUTE_HOST}/oauth/callback) is only written when ROUTE_HOST is
non-empty.

In `@components/manifests/deploy-no-api-server.sh`:
- Around line 9-10: The script currently uses "set -e" but not pipefail, so
failures on the left side of pipelines (e.g., the pipeline feeding "oc apply")
can be ignored; enable pipefail before any pipelines by changing the top-level
settings (replace or augment the existing "set -e" with a form that enables
pipefail, e.g., add "set -o pipefail" or use "set -euo pipefail") so that
failures in the pipeline feeding "oc apply" will cause the script to exit.
- Around line 73-76: The script mutates the checked-in overlay by running
`kustomize edit set namespace "$NAMESPACE"` directly when `NAMESPACE` is not
"ambient-code"; change this to operate on a temporary copy of the overlay (or
save the original file and restore it with an EXIT trap) instead of editing the
repo in-place, i.e. copy the overlay directory or its kustomization.yaml to a
temp location, run `kustomize edit set namespace` against that temp copy, and
ensure you restore or remove the temp on any exit (use a trap 'EXIT' handler);
apply the same change for the other occurrence that edits the overlay (the block
around lines 135-140) so the checked-in kustomization.yaml is never left
modified after failures.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/kind/control-plane-env-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 11-12: The RUNNER_IMAGE environment value in the control-plane
overlay is using "localhost/vteam_claude_runner:latest" which doesn't match the
image name loaded into kind; update the RUNNER_IMAGE value to exactly
"vteam_claude_runner:latest" so it matches the image imported by
e2e/scripts/load-images.sh (change the entry named RUNNER_IMAGE in the manifest
patch used by the control plane).

In `@components/manifests/overlays/no-api-server/api-server-image-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 10-13: The patch currently uses mutable :latest tags for the main
container image and the initContainer named "migration" (the two image lines in
the diff); replace both occurrences with an immutable reference—preferably an
image digest (image@sha256:...) or a fixed version tag—to ensure reproducible
releases and safe rollbacks: locate the image fields for the primary container
(image: image-registry.../vteam_api_server:latest) and the initContainer entry
(name: migration, image: image-registry.../vteam_api_server:latest), obtain the
appropriate digest or pinned tag from your registry, and update both image
strings to use that immutable identifier.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/no-api-server/control-plane-image-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 9-10: The manifest uses a mutable image tag for the
ambient-control-plane container; replace the image value for the container named
"ambient-control-plane" (and the corresponding entry in kustomization.yaml
images section) so it points to an immutable reference (either a concrete
versioned tag or an image@sha256:<digest>) instead of ":latest", ensuring both
the patch (control-plane-image-patch.yaml) and the kustomization images mapping
use the same immutable reference for reproducible manifests.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/no-api-server/exclude-api-server-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 2-6: The orphaned JSON6902 patch file
exclude-api-server-patch.yaml is unused and invalid: it embeds a `target:`
inside the op payload and removes only `/spec/template/spec/containers/0` which
would produce an invalid PodSpec for the Deployment named ambient-api-server;
either delete exclude-api-server-patch.yaml from the overlay, or properly
convert it to a patchesJson6902 entry in kustomization.yaml by moving the target
(name: ambient-api-server, kind: Deployment) into the patchesJson6902 list and
change the operation to safely remove the entire containers array or otherwise
update a valid field (not `/spec/template/spec/containers/0`); remove the
illegal `target:` key from the patch file if you keep it and ensure the patch
path is valid for kustomize.

In
`@components/manifests/overlays/no-api-server/frontend-oauth-deployment-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 22-71: The oauth-proxy container is missing an explicit
securityContext; update the oauth-proxy container spec to add a securityContext
block (under the container named "oauth-proxy") that enforces least privilege:
set runAsNonRoot: true and runAsUser to a non-root uid, set
allowPrivilegeEscalation: false, drop all capabilities (capabilities: drop:
["ALL"]), set readOnlyRootFilesystem: true, ensure privileged: false, and add a
seccompProfile (type: RuntimeDefault) and appropriate fsGroup/runAsGroup if
needed for mounts; apply these fields to the oauth-proxy container definition to
harden the sidecar.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/no-api-server/frontend-oauth-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 12-15: The patch currently sets the oauth-proxy to HTTP-only by
leaving args entry `--https-address=` empty while still mounting TLS artifacts
and requesting a serving certificate; either remove the unused TLS plumbing
(drop the TLS `volumeMounts` entries, the TLS `volumes` block, and the Service
serving-cert annotation) or configure the proxy to use the mounted cert by
adding `--tls-cert-file=/etc/tls/private/tls.crt` and
`--tls-key-file=/etc/tls/private/tls.key` to the container `args` so the
oauth-proxy (image quay.io/openshift/origin-oauth-proxy:4.14) actually serves
HTTPS.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/no-api-server/github-app-secret.yaml`:
- Around line 11-14: Remove the PEM-shaped placeholder under the
GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY entry so the manifest does not contain a non-empty fake
private key; leave the value empty (or remove the block value) and rely on your
secret manager / deployment pipeline to inject the real RSA private key at
deploy time, updating the GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY field accordingly.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/no-api-server/kustomization.yaml`:
- Around line 10-19: The overlay kustomization currently includes ../../base
which brings in ambient-api-server-* resources but never references the
exclusion patch; update the kustomization.yaml to add the existing
exclude-api-server-patch.yaml to the patches (or
resources/patchesStrategicMerge) so the ambient-api-server-secrets.yml,
ambient-api-server-db.yml and ambient-api-server-service.yml are removed;
specifically modify the kustomization entry that lists resources (and/or
patchesStrategicMerge) to include exclude-api-server-patch.yaml so the API
server artifacts are actually excluded when building the no-api-server overlay.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/no-api-server/unleash-init-db-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 33-37: The psql commands used to check/create the unleash DB omit
an explicit target DB, so they connect to a DB named after the user and can fail
if that DB doesn't exist; update the two psql invocations in the init script
(the psql check line and the psql CREATE DATABASE line) to include an explicit
admin database with -d (for example -d postgres or -d "$PGDATABASE") so both the
existence check and CREATE DATABASE run against a known admin DB instead of the
connecting user's default.

In
`@components/manifests/overlays/production/ambient-api-server-jwt-args-patch.yaml`:
- Line 19: Enabling authz via the --enable-authz=true flag requires browsers to
send an Authorization header, but the CORS allowlist still only permits the
X-Ambient-Project header; update the CORS configuration that currently lists
X-Ambient-Project (line referencing that header) to also allow Authorization
(and the preflight Access-Control-Request-Headers if applicable) so preflight
requests succeed when --enable-authz=true is enabled. Ensure the Authorization
token header is included in the allowed headers list alongside X-Ambient-Project
and verify preflight handling respects it.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/production/api-server-image-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 10-13: The production overlay is using mutable :latest tags for
both the main container image and the migration initContainer; update the two
image fields (the image entry under the main container and the image entry under
initContainers -> name: migration) to use immutable image digests instead of
:latest (e.g., replace tag with `@sha256`:<digest>) so deployments are
deterministic and cannot drift; ensure both occurrences are updated and verify
the digest corresponds to the correct vteam_api_server build before committing.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/production/control-plane-env-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 15-16: The RUNNER_IMAGE environment variable in
control-plane-env-patch.yaml is pinned to the mutable :latest tag which can
introduce silent behavioral changes; update the RUNNER_IMAGE value to the
CI-produced immutable artifact (specific tag or digest) instead of ":latest" and
adjust your deployment pipeline to inject that CI tag/digest (e.g., via your
manifest templating step or kustomize/helm image substitution) so the control
plane always launches the tested runner image.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/production/control-plane-image-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 9-10: The production overlay currently pins the
ambient-control-plane container image to the mutable tag
"ambient_control_plane:latest"; update the image field for the
ambient-control-plane entry to use an immutable reference (preferably the image
digest e.g. `@sha256`:<digest>) or a fixed release tag instead of :latest so
deployments are reproducible and rollbacks/audits are reliable.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/_grpc_client.py`:
- Around line 122-125: The close() method currently closes and clears
self._channel but leaves the stale stub in self._session_messages; update
close() (method close) to also clear the session stub (set
self._session_messages to None or an appropriate sentinel) so subsequent
accesses to the session_messages property will not return a stub bound to the
closed channel; ensure you clear the same attribute name (_session_messages)
used when creating the stub so callers will either get a fresh stub or a clear
error.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/_session_messages_api.py`:
- Around line 193-202: The _decode_varint function currently reads bytes without
bounds checks and can raise IndexError on truncated/malformed input; update
_decode_varint to check pos < len(data) before each data[pos] access and if the
buffer is exhausted raise a clear exception (e.g., ValueError("truncated
varint")) instead of allowing IndexError, and also guard against overly long
varints by limiting shift (e.g., max 10 bytes for 64-bit) to prevent infinite
loops; make these changes inside the _decode_varint implementation to ensure
robust parsing.
- Around line 273-274: The parser currently silently breaks on unknown wire
types at the loop containing the "else: break" (in the message parsing routine
in ambient_runner/_session_messages_api.py); change this to log a warning and
skip the unknown field instead of breaking: inspect the wire type value and skip
bytes accordingly (wire type 0: read and discard a varint; 1: skip 8 bytes; 2:
read length as varint then skip that many bytes; 3/4: handle start/end group by
skipping until matching end-group or treat as unsupported with a safe break/skip
to avoid infinite loops; 5: skip 4 bytes). Use the existing logger used in this
module to emit a warning referencing the field tag/wire type, and ensure the
skip logic is implemented where the "else: break" currently sits so the parser
continues parsing remaining fields safely.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/app.py`:
- Around line 330-332: The gRPC branch currently calls
_push_initial_prompt_via_grpc(prompt, session_id) once and only logs failures;
restore the HTTP path's retry/backoff semantics by wrapping the gRPC push in the
same retry loop/backoff used for the HTTP initial-prompt path (retry transient
errors with the existing backoff strategy) and ensure the gRPC client is closed
in a finally block so resources are always released; update the branch guarded
by grpc_url to call the retried push (using the same error checks and backoff
variables) and close the gRPC client in finally to match the reliability of the
HTTP path.
- Around line 123-130: Wrap the awaiting of the gRPC listener readiness in
asyncio.wait_for to avoid indefinite blocking: replace the direct await
bridge._grpc_listener.ready.wait() call (after bridge._setup_platform()) with a
try/except using asyncio.wait_for(..., timeout=YOUR_TIMEOUT_SECONDS) and catch
asyncio.TimeoutError; on timeout, log a clear error including session_id (using
logger) and either fail fast by raising an exception or continue startup with a
fallback path — choose and implement the desired fallback behavior consistently.
Ensure asyncio is imported and keep references to bridge._setup_platform,
bridge._grpc_listener.ready.wait, session_id, and logger when adding the timeout
handling and logging.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/bridge.py`:
- Around line 230-248: The base inject_message method currently silently no-ops;
change it to emit a clear warning instead so dropped inbound messages are
visible: in the inject_message implementation (method inject_message in the
bridge base class) log a warning including the session_id and event_type (and
avoid logging full payload — log payload size or truncated preview) using the
class logger (self.logger.warning) or module logger if no instance logger
exists; if your bridge subclass supports explicit capability gating, check a
capability flag (e.g. supports_inbound_messages) and only log when the bridge
truly doesn't handle inbound messages to avoid noisy logs.

In
`@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/bridges/claude/grpc_transport.py`:
- Around line 132-133: The code currently calls asyncio.get_event_loop() to
obtain the loop (creating a local variable `loop`) inside the coroutine/context
in grpc_transport.py; replace that call with asyncio.get_running_loop() so the
coroutine uses the running event loop (leave the
ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=1) creation as-is), i.e. change
asyncio.get_event_loop() → asyncio.get_running_loop() where the `loop` variable
is set (ensure this change is applied where `loop` and `executor` are defined in
the gRPC transport logic).
- Around line 335-339: The call to the synchronous blocking gRPC method
self._grpc_client.session_messages.push(...) (used with self._session_id and
payload) is being invoked from an async context and can block the event loop;
change the invocation to run in a thread/executor (e.g., await
asyncio.to_thread(self._grpc_client.session_messages.push, self._session_id,
event_type="assistant", payload=payload) or use loop.run_in_executor) so the
unary RPC executes off the event loop and the async method remains non-blocking.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/endpoints/events.py`:
- Around line 158-184: Both endpoints define nearly identical async generator
logic in event_stream(); extract that loop into a shared helper (e.g., async def
_event_stream(queue, request, thread_id):) and have the existing event_stream
functions simply return or delegate to it. The helper should reuse
_event_type_str, _FILTER_TYPES, _CLOSE_TYPES, import and use EventEncoder the
same way, perform the same heartbeat timeout behavior, log encoder exceptions
via logger.warning, and ensure the finally block removes thread_id from
active_streams; then replace the duplicated bodies in the original event_stream
functions with calls to the new helper.
- Around line 89-93: The import and construction of EventEncoder are happening
inside the event loop (the lines with "from ag_ui.encoder import EventEncoder",
"encoder = EventEncoder(accept=\"text/event-stream\")" and
"encoder.encode(event)"); move the import statement to module-level or to the
top of the surrounding function and instantiate a single encoder
(EventEncoder(accept="text/event-stream")) once before the loop, then call
encoder.encode(event) inside the loop to avoid repeated import/creation
overhead.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/endpoints/run.py`:
- Around line 182-227: The variables inbound_queue and stop_watch and the helper
drain_inbound() are dead since the per-request watcher block (the run of
_watch_inbound_messages into inbound_queue and creation of watch_future) is
commented out; either remove inbound_queue, stop_watch, drain_inbound (and the
unused ThreadPoolExecutor/executor and event_count/grpc_pushed counters) to
eliminate dead code, or explicitly mark them with a TODO comment explaining they
are intentionally retained for a future re-enable and reference the watcher
logic (_watch_inbound_messages, watch_future) and bridge.inject_message so
reviewers know why they exist; ensure no unused variables remain after the
change.
- Around line 19-28: The module-level _grpc_client created via
AmbientGRPCClient.from_env() can go stale; change to lazy/reconnect behavior by
adding a helper (e.g., get_grpc_client()) that checks if _grpc_client is None or
unhealthy (use an availability/health check or catch channel errors) and if so
attempts to recreate it with AmbientGRPCClient.from_env(), assigning back to
_grpc_client; call this helper at the start of push() and watch() (or inline the
same logic) so each request will reinitialize or reconnect transparently before
attempting client.push() or client.watch(), and ensure failures still degrade
gracefully and log the recreated-attempt error.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/tests/test_bridge_claude.py`:
- Around line 53-88: Tests for ClaudeBridge gRPC setup are not invoking the real
_setup_platform, so they miss regressions; update the two tests
(test_setup_platform_starts_grpc_listener_when_url_set and
test_setup_platform_no_grpc_listener_without_url) to call the actual
ClaudeBridge._setup_platform coroutine instead of manually setting or inspecting
_grpc_listener: in the positive test, patch GRPCSessionListener with a MagicMock
class (mock_listener_cls), set the AMBIENT_GRPC_URL in the environment, await
bridge._setup_platform(), assert mock_listener_cls was instantiated/called and
bridge._grpc_listener is the returned instance; in the negative test, ensure
AMBIENT_GRPC_URL is absent, await bridge._setup_platform(), and assert
GRPCSessionListener was not instantiated and bridge._grpc_listener remains None
(or not set). Use the existing symbols ClaudeBridge, _setup_platform,
GRPCSessionListener, and _grpc_listener to locate and modify the tests.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/tests/test_events_endpoint.py`:
- Around line 66-80: The test_registers_queue_before_streaming currently never
attaches the prefilled q to active_streams and thus doesn't verify the
endpoint's registration; modify the test to wait for the bridge/endpoint to
create and register a queue under key "t-1" in active_streams (e.g., poll
active_streams for "t-1" after opening the stream via client.stream("GET",
"/events/t-1")), then assert that active_streams["t-1"] is a queue (or is not
None) and only then put the terminal event into that registered queue so the
test proves the endpoint registered the queue before streaming closed. Ensure
you reference the existing helpers _make_bridge, active_streams, and
client.stream in the updated logic.

In `@docs/internal/design/blackboard-api.md`:
- Around line 438-453: The CTE latest_checkins runs before applying the project
filter so the snapshot still scans global check-ins; fix by either pushing the
project restriction into the inner CTE (filter session_checkins by project_id)
or denormalizing project_id onto SessionCheckIn and adding a supporting index;
specifically update the query that references latest_checkins/session_checkins
so it includes WHERE project_id = ? inside the CTE or add project_id to the
SessionCheckIn model and create an index (e.g. on (project_id, agent_id,
created_at DESC)) to make the read O(agents) per project; ensure the join still
uses lc.agent_id = a.id and keep ORDER BY a.name.

In `@docs/internal/developer/agent-workflow.md`:
- Around line 122-125: Update the documentation so the namespace discovery
commands and the cleanup recipe use the same namespace naming contract: replace
hard-coded "session-*" in the "Session namespaces (runner pods land here)"
section with the actual project namespace pattern used elsewhere (e.g., the
provisioned project namespace "smoke-test" or the canonical namespace variable),
and update the kubectl examples (kubectl get namespaces | grep ...) and any
references in the cleanup recipe to reference that canonical namespace pattern
or variable instead of "session-*"; ensure the doc text clearly states the
single namespace contract name/variable to be used consistently across observe
and cleanup steps.

In `@e2e/scripts/load-images.sh`:
- Line 53: The post-load verification step currently filters images by the
pattern 'vteam_' and thus misses the newly added ambient_control_plane:latest;
update the verification command in load-images.sh (the post-load
verification/generation of the final check) to include ambient_control_plane by
using a combined pattern (e.g., extend the grep to grep -E
'vteam_|ambient_control_plane' or otherwise include both names) so that
ambient_control_plane:latest is validated alongside existing vteam_ images.

In `@REMOVE_CRDs.md`:
- Around line 52-54: The document currently mixes a rejected design with an
actionable Migration Plan; extract the superseded detailed migration plan and
8-week timeline (the content under the "## Migration Plan" and "### Phase 1:
Extend Control Plane with Kubernetes Resource Management" headings that follow
the paragraph stating the original design has critical flaws) and move it into a
new clearly labeled appendix titled "Rejected approach" (or delete the timeline
entirely), leaving only the recommended path in the main Migration Plan so
readers cannot mistake the rejected approach for approved guidance.
- Around line 462-470: The RBAC example is misleading because Kubernetes RBAC
cannot restrict list/watch/create by label selector; update the YAML and
accompanying text to remove the comment "Restricted by label selector in code"
and either remove the empty `resourceNames: []` line or replace it with a clear
note that RBAC decisions are evaluated by the API server and do not support
label-scoped restrictions, and then add guidance pointing readers to proper
alternatives (namespace isolation, dedicated service accounts per pod identity,
or admission policies such as CEL/webhooks) and reference the `rules`,
`apiGroups`, `resources`, `verbs`, and `resourceNames` symbols so reviewers can
locate the changed example.

In `@test-e2e-control-plane.sh`:
- Around line 21-22: TIMEOUT_SECONDS and CHECK_INTERVAL are declared but never
used; either remove these unused variables or update the polling loops that
perform waits to reference them instead of hard-coded values. Locate the polling
loops that currently use literal timeout/interval values (the loops that perform
repeated checks/waits), replace the hard-coded numbers with $TIMEOUT_SECONDS and
$CHECK_INTERVAL, and ensure the variables are defined/exported before the loops
so the shell references are valid. If removing, delete both TIMEOUT_SECONDS and
CHECK_INTERVAL declarations and any comments referencing them.
- Line 226: The final duration print uses start_time which was overwritten
during steps; introduce a persistent global start time (e.g., global_start_time)
set once at the very start of the script before any step resets, keep the
existing per-step start_time resets for step-level timing, and change the final
summary echo (the line that currently references start_time) to compute duration
using global_start_time so the printed total reflects the full test run.

---

Outside diff comments:
In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/bridges/claude/bridge.py`:
- Around line 184-192: The shutdown coroutine in ClaudeBridge currently awaits
self._grpc_listener.stop(), self._session_manager.shutdown(), and
self._obs.finalize() sequentially so an exception in one prevents the others
from running; update the shutdown method to call each cleanup
(self._grpc_listener.stop, self._session_manager.shutdown, self._obs.finalize)
in its own try/except block (or gather/await with return_exceptions=True) and
log any exceptions so a failure in one step does not skip the remaining cleanup
operations, and still log "ClaudeBridge: shutdown complete" after attempting all
three.

Don't make filtering and sorting raw SQL.

Documenting search as a WHERE fragment and orderBy as an ORDER BY fragment turns the API into a SQL injection surface and makes tenant scoping brittle. Use structured filters and an allow-listed set of sortable fields and directions instead.

The docs currently describe query params `search` (SQL WHERE fragment) and

the API surface docs to remove raw SQL examples and instead describe a

explicit operators) and a `sort` parameter that only accepts an allow-listed set
of sortable field names and directions (e.g., `field:asc|desc`), and document

arbitrary SQL; reference the `search` and `orderBy` entries and replace them

mention of server-side allow-listing and operator constraints.

The Blackboard snapshot endpoint returns the latest check-in for every agent in a project in a single query — no client-side joining required:

```sql
WITH latest_checkins AS (
SELECT DISTINCT ON (agent_id) *
FROM session_checkins
ORDER BY agent_id, created_at DESC
)
SELECT a.*, lc.*
FROM agents a
LEFT JOIN latest_checkins lc ON lc.agent_id = a.id
WHERE a.project_id = ?
ORDER BY a.name
```

`agent_id` is denormalized onto `SessionCheckIn` specifically to make this query O(agents) rather than O(sessions × checkins).

The snapshot query still scales with global check-in history.

latest_checkins is computed before the project filter, so one project's dashboard refresh can still walk latest rows for every agent in every project.

Align namespace discovery with the actual namespace model.

These commands hard-code session-* namespaces, but the same workflow later provisions the project namespace smoke-test and expects the runner there.

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

Does Kubernetes RBAC support restricting access by label selector, or using resourceNamesto scopelist, watch, or create permissions?

💡 Result:

No, Kubernetes RBAC does not support restricting access by label selector in Role or ClusterRole rules. RBAC rules use fields like apiGroups, resources, verbs, and resourceNames, but there is no field for label selectors in the PolicyRule spec. Requests with label selectors (like list/watch) are authorized based on the resource type and verbs, without considering the selector content for RBAC decisions. A separate feature, AuthorizeWithSelectors (stable in v1.34), passes label/field selectors to authorization webhooks, but this does not apply to built-in RBAC. Yes, RBAC supports using resourceNames to scope list and watch permissions (but not top-level create). When resourceNames is specified for list/watch, it restricts to requests using a fieldSelector=metadata.name matching one of the names (e.g., kubectl get pods --field-selector=metadata.name=my-pod). Top-level create cannot use resourceNames because the name is unknown at authorization time.

Citations:


This RBAC example describes guarantees Kubernetes does not provide.

The empty resourceNames: [] is unrestricted—Kubernetes RBAC cannot constrain list, watch, or create by label selector. The comment "restricted by label selector in code" is misleading because RBAC authorization decisions cannot be overridden by application-level filtering; they occur at the API server layer before code execution. If you need label-scoped access control, use namespace isolation, dedicated service accounts per pod identity, or admission policies (e.g., CEL or webhooks) instead.

Run() can block forever before the watches come up.

initialSync() enqueues ADDED events into eventCh, but dispatchLoop() is only started afterwards. Once the initial snapshot exceeds the 256-slot buffer, dispatchBlocking() blocks and the watch handlers are never wired. Because the watch requests also have no resume/resourceVersion handoff, this ordering leaves a startup window where mutations can be missed.

Image-pull access only works for the first session namespace.

ensureNamespaceExists() skips ensureImagePullAccess() whenever the namespace already exists, so retries never repair missing access. Even on first create, ensureImagePullAccess() always uses the same ambient-image-puller RoleBinding name in RunnerImageNamespace; after the first namespace, later reconciles hit AlreadyExists and keep the old subject set, so new session namespaces cannot pull the runner image.

Do not hard-wire an optional OpenShift CA file into every runner.

The service-ca ConfigMap is optional, but the runner still unconditionally exports AMBIENT_GRPC_CA_CERT_FILE, SSL_CERT_FILE, and REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE to /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/service-ca.crt. On clusters without openshift-service-ca.crt, TLS-enabled runners will point at a missing file and fail outbound HTTPS/gRPC before they can reach the API server/control plane.

Consider extracting shared streaming logic.

The event_stream() generator in both endpoints is nearly identical. Extracting to a shared helper would reduce duplication and maintenance burden.

Module-level gRPC client lacks reconnection handling.

The _grpc_client is initialized once at module import time and shared across all requests. If the gRPC channel becomes unhealthy during runtime, subsequent push() and watch() calls will fail until the process restarts. While failures are caught and logged with graceful degradation, consider lazy initialization per-request or adding a reconnection mechanism for improved resilience in long-running deployments.

Duration calculation uses wrong start time.

start_time is reset at line 87 (step 2) and again at line 119 (step 4), so the final duration on line 226 only reflects time since step 4, not the full test duration.

These GET /events/{thread_id} tests are feeding the wrong queue.

The endpoint creates a fresh queue on connect, so the local q in the registration test is unused and the preloaded queues in the filtering tests can be overwritten. That means these cases can pass or hang without proving registration, cleanup, or filtering on the live queue. Wait for active_streams[thread_id] to appear after opening the stream, then push the terminal event through that registered queue.

If UserHomeDir() fails and returns an empty string, localPath becomes "/.kube/config", which could unexpectedly exist on some systems. Consider logging or falling through to in-cluster config directly on error.

Generic methods assume namespaced resources.

GetResource and CreateResource always call .Namespace(namespace), which will not work correctly for cluster-scoped resources (e.g., Namespaces). The existing typed GetNamespace/CreateNamespace methods handle this correctly, but callers using the generic methods with cluster-scoped GVRs may encounter unexpected behavior.

The project targets Go 1.24.0, which includes the builtin min function introduced in Go 1.21. This local definition shadows it. Remove this function and use the builtin instead (e.g., sessionID[:min(len(sessionID), 40)] works directly with the builtin).

Use threading.Event instead of asyncio.Event for cross-thread signaling.

_watch_in_thread() runs in a ThreadPoolExecutor and calls stop_event.is_set() at line 109. However, stop_event is an asyncio.Event created in the async context and may be modified (.set()) from the event loop thread. asyncio.Event is not thread-safe—it assumes single-threaded access within an event loop. Replace with threading.Event for safe cross-thread coordination.

Guarantee a terminal push when bridge.run() aborts.

GRPCMessageWriter only persists output on RUN_FINISHED / RUN_ERROR events. If bridge.run() raises before emitting one of those, this path only logs and exits, so the session can be left without a durable terminal status. Add an exception-path write, guarded so it still emits at most once.

/wait should not unregister a queue it did not create.

This handler attaches to active_streams[thread_id], but its finally block removes that shared entry. If another SSE consumer or the producer still depends on the same registration, fan-out stops mid-turn and later events are dropped. Cleanup here should be limited to resources this endpoint owns.

The session-detection log check is flaky.

Using oc logs --tail=50 makes the result depend on log volume; the relevant line can fall out of the last 50 entries even when reconciliation succeeded. Capture a test-start timestamp and use --since-time, or rely on the created CR/status instead of a bounded log tail.

- Around line 40-60: The current _push_event function filters out everything
except MESSAGES_SNAPSHOT and RUN_FINISHED so RunErrorEvent never gets persisted
or pushed to gRPC consumers; modify _push_event to treat RUN_ERROR like the
other terminal events by allowing event_type_str == "RUN_ERROR" (persisting it
to the session stream), and ensure the exception path that builds a
RunErrorEvent pushes/persists that RUN_ERROR fallback to the gRPC stream (via
_push_event) before yielding it to SSE; update any related logic that builds the
fallback RunErrorEvent to call _push_event(session_id, run_error_event) prior to
returning/raising so CP-managed sessions receive a terminal gRPC event.
- Around line 173-189: Remove user prompt text from info-level logs: in the
logging around msg_count/last_role (using run_agent_input.thread_id and
run_agent_input.run_id) stop passing last_content_preview to logger.info and
only log high-level metadata (thread_id, run_id, msg_count, last_role). Move the
detailed prompt preview into a logger.debug call that redacts or summarizes
content (e.g., show "<redacted>" or content length) using the existing
last_content_preview variable. Do the same for per-event "[OUTBOUND SSE]"
tracing (make those debug-level and redact full prompt chunks) so prompt text is
not written to info logs and event traces are aggregated/redacted.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/tests/test_grpc_transport.py`:
- Around line 152-208: Both tests are not asserting the behaviors they claim: in
test_user_message_triggers_bridge_run you must verify that GRPCSessionListener
actually invoked bridge.run, and in test_invalid_json_payload_skipped_gracefully
you must prove the listener stayed alive after a bad payload. Fix by replacing
the dummy bridge.run with a coroutine that sets an asyncio.Event or increments a
counter (e.g., create an asyncio.Event named run_called and assign bridge.run to
an async function that sets run_called.set()), then await/run_called.wait() and
assert it was set in test_user_message_triggers_bridge_run; for
test_invalid_json_payload_skipped_gracefully send a subsequent valid message (or
set a follow-up event) and assert the listener still processes it (or that
listener.ready is still set and no exception occurred), using the same pattern
to detect bridge.run invocations on valid messages via GRPCSessionListener and
bridge.run.

In `@test-e2e-control-plane.sh`:
- Around line 149-164: The test currently masks failures and uses an outdated
request body for the session messages endpoint: update the POST to
/api/ambient/v1/sessions/${SESSION_ID}/messages (the curl call that sets
MESSAGE_RESPONSE) to send the current request shape required to trigger the gRPC
path, remove the trailing "|| true" so failures surface, and keep the existing
jq check for '.id' (which assigns MESSAGE_ID) so the test will fail if the API
doesn't return the expected message metadata.
- Around line 48-52: The test currently asserts on the legacy AgenticSession CR
(CR_NAME) in namespace "default"—replace those checks and cleanup that reference
AgenticSession with assertions against the new direct-control-plane outputs:
verify the created project namespace exists (check for the namespace name
produced by the test), verify the runner workload (the runner
Pod/Deployment/ReplicaSet created for the session) is present and Ready in that
project namespace, and verify the session status via the new session resource or
pod annotations/labels that indicate session success; update any delete/cleanup
steps to remove the project namespace and runner workload rather than deleting
AgenticSession, and remove all references to agenticsessions.vteam.ambient-code
and CR_NAME usage throughout (also apply same changes where AgenticSession
checks appear at the other ranges noted).

Duplicate comments:
In `@components/manifests/base/core/ambient-api-server-service.yml`:
- Around line 81-82: The container args for the API server currently point
--https-cert-file and --https-key-file at /secrets/tls/tls.crt and
/secrets/tls/tls.key which don't exist because the tls-certs secret is mounted
at /etc/tls; update the flags in the manifest (look for the --https-cert-file
and --https-key-file arguments in the pod spec and the duplicate occurrence
later) to reference /etc/tls/tls.crt and /etc/tls/tls.key so the server can find
the mounted TLS secret.

In `@components/manifests/deploy`:
- Around line 97-109: The fallback block that runs when OAUTH_APPLY_RC != 0
prints the live CLIENT_SECRET_VALUE to stdout (echo "secret:
${CLIENT_SECRET_VALUE}"), which can leak credentials; change the output to not
include the real secret—either omit the secret line or replace it with a
placeholder like "<REDACTED_CLIENT_SECRET>" and add a note to instruct admins to
provide the actual secret when applying the manifest; update the fallback echo
statements that reference CLIENT_SECRET_VALUE so they never interpolate the real
value.
- Around line 197-228: The deploy script writes oauth-secret.env and mutates
overlays/production but only cleans up on the happy path; add a safe
temp-file/dir flow and an EXIT trap at the top of the secrets subcommand (before
the first write/edit) to guarantee cleanup on any failure: create OAUTH_ENV_FILE
via mktemp (or a temp dir) instead of a repo-relative path, stage overlay edits
into a temporary copy and only move/apply them atomically on success, register a
trap handler that removes the temp oauth env file and restores or discards
overlay changes (e.g., rm -f "$OAUTH_ENV_FILE"; revert overlay temp copy) and
ensure oauth_setup and any oc/kustomize failures trigger exit so the trap runs;
update references to OAUTH_ENV_FILE and overlays/production and ensure final
cleanup still removes any temps and leaves the repo unmodified on error.
- Around line 73-90: The script currently only warns when ROUTE_HOST is empty
but still writes an OAuthClient with an invalid redirect URI; change the logic
after computing ROUTE_HOST so that if ROUTE_HOST is empty the script fails fast
(exit non-zero) instead of proceeding to create the OAuthClient; specifically,
update the branch that checks ROUTE_HOST (the ROUTE_HOST variable and the block
that echoes the warning and later writes /tmp/ambient-frontend-oauthclient.yaml)
to call exit 1 (or return a non-zero status) with a clear error message so the
OAuthClient creation step (writing redirectURIs: -
https://${ROUTE_HOST}/oauth/callback) is never executed when ROUTE_HOST is
blank.

In `@components/manifests/deploy-no-api-server.sh`:
- Around line 9-10: The script currently only uses "set -e", which doesn't catch
failures in piped commands used in the deploy pipelines; add pipefail to the
shell options so any failure in a pipeline aborts the script (e.g., change the
top options to "set -euo pipefail" or add "set -o pipefail" alongside the
existing "set -e"), ensuring this is set before the deploy pipeline commands
referenced in the script (the deploy pipeline invocations around the deploy
sections) so a failed left-hand command will cause the script to exit.
- Around line 73-76: The script currently runs kustomize edit set namespace
which mutates the checked-in overlay (kustomization.yaml) and can leave the repo
dirty on early exits; change this to operate on a temporary copy or restore on
exit by creating a temp directory or copying
overlays/no-api-server/kustomization.yaml to a temp file and running kustomize
against that, or add an EXIT trap that always reverts the change (e.g., capture
original file, run kustomize edit set namespace "$NAMESPACE" and on EXIT move
the original back); update both occurrences around the NAMESPACE logic and the
block at lines ~135-140 to use the same temp-copy-or-trap approach so the
working tree is never left mutated.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/kind-local/control-plane-env-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 15-16: The RUNNER_IMAGE value in the control plane overlay is
pointed at "localhost/vteam_claude_runner:latest" which doesn't match the image
preloaded by load-images.sh; update the RUNNER_IMAGE value used in the control
plane Jobs/patch (the RUNNER_IMAGE env var referenced in the overlay) to the
exact tag loaded by load-images.sh (e.g., "vteam_claude_runner:latest") so
kind/containerd will use the preloaded image instead of trying to pull from a
nonexistent local registry.

In
`@components/manifests/overlays/production/ambient-api-server-jwt-args-patch.yaml`:
- Line 19: The CORS settings currently set
`--cors-allowed-headers=X-Ambient-Project` will cause preflight failures when
`--enable-authz=true` allows browsers to send an Authorization header; update
the manifest entries that set `--cors-allowed-headers` to include
`Authorization` (e.g., `--cors-allowed-headers=X-Ambient-Project,Authorization`)
wherever `--enable-authz=true` is present so preflight requests succeed.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/production/control-plane-env-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 15-16: Update the RUNNER_IMAGE environment variable in the
control-plane env patch: replace the mutable "…:latest" tag with the CI-produced
immutable artifact (either the specific image tag or digest) so the control
plane uses the tested runner artifact; modify the value string for the
RUNNER_IMAGE entry in the manifest (the RUNNER_IMAGE env var in
production/control-plane-env-patch.yaml) to reference the exact tag or `@sha256`
digest emitted by your CI pipeline.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/production/control-plane-image-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 9-10: The image reference for the container named
"ambient-control-plane" uses the mutable ":latest" tag which breaks
reproducibility; update the image field for ambient-control-plane to an
immutable reference (either a release tag like vX.Y.Z or an image digest e.g.
`@sha256`:...) instead of ":latest", and ensure any deployment automation or
manifests that set this value (e.g., image:
image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/ambient-code/ambient_control_plane:latest)
are updated to substitute the pinned tag/digest so rollbacks and audits are
deterministic.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/_session_messages_api.py`:
- Around line 193-202: The _decode_varint function reads bytes without bounds
checking and can IndexError on truncated/malformed frames; update _decode_varint
to check pos < len(data) before each byte read, enforce a maximum varint length
(e.g., cap shifts/bytes to 10 for 64-bit varints) and raise a clear parsing
error (ValueError or a custom DecodeError) when data ends or the varint is
overly long; also propagate this change back to the protobuf generator so
generated code includes the same bounds/length guard and explicit error raising.
- Around line 77-84: The INFO log currently emits payload previews
(payload_preview) which may contain sensitive user prompts; change the
logger.info calls that include payload_preview to log only metadata (session_id,
event_type, payload_len) at INFO, move the preview output to logger.debug and
apply redaction (e.g., mask or truncate with "[REDACTED]" when sensitive) before
logging; update both occurrences that construct payload_preview and call
logger.info (the GRPC PUSH→ logging block and the similar block around the later
logger.info usage) so INFO contains no payload content and DEBUG contains a
redacted preview.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/bridge.py`:
- Around line 230-248: The base inject_message implementation currently silently
drops inbound messages; update the async method inject_message to emit a warning
instead of no-op by logging the session_id, event_type, and payload length
(payload_len = len(payload or "")) so misconfigured bridges are visible; use the
existing logger instance (or create/get one used in this module) and include a
clear message like "Dropping inbound session message" plus the three fields,
then return None as before.

In
`@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/bridges/claude/grpc_transport.py`:
- Around line 83-89: The watch worker uses an asyncio.Event (stop_event) across
ThreadPoolExecutor boundaries which is not thread-safe; change the stop signal
to a threading.Event: update the _watch_in_thread signature and any related
functions (e.g., where _watch_in_thread is invoked and the helpers around lines
referenced) to accept and check a threading.Event instead of asyncio.Event,
adjust type hints and imports (import threading), and ensure the creator/owner
on the event-loop side constructs a threading.Event and sets it from the loop
when canceling/reconnecting so cross-thread coordination uses threading.Event
semantics rather than asyncio.Event.
- Around line 310-339: The _write_message coroutine calls the blocking unary RPC
self._grpc_client.session_messages.push(...) directly, which can block the event
loop; change it to run the push call off the loop using the running event loop's
executor (e.g., asyncio.get_running_loop().run_in_executor or
loop.run_in_executor) so the blocking push executes in a threadpool, await the
future, and preserve existing logging and error handling; target the
_write_message method and the self._grpc_client.session_messages.push invocation
and ensure any exceptions from the push are caught/logged and do not block the
listener loop.
- Around line 236-257: When bridge.run() raises before emitting a terminal
event, we must emit a durable terminal RUN_ERROR event so GRPCMessageWriter
records session termination; in the except block construct a terminal error
event (type RUN_ERROR) containing the thread_id, self._session_id and the
exception details, then await writer.consume(error_event) (same API used inside
the loop) inside a guarded try/except so emitting the synthetic terminal event
never raises; reference GRPCMessageWriter behavior, bridge.run, writer.consume,
_session_id and thread_id when locating where to add this emission.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/endpoints/events.py`:
- Around line 61-63: When registering a per-thread queue in active_streams (the
assignment active_streams[thread_id] = queue), ensure cleanup only removes the
mapping if it still references the same queue: before calling
active_streams.pop(thread_id, None) in the event handler/cleanup paths, check
that active_streams.get(thread_id) is queue and only then pop; apply the same
guard to all occurrences around lines handling active_streams (e.g., the
branches near 61-63, 109-110 and the cleanup in the long-running handler
155-185) so a newer consumer isn't accidentally unregistered by an older
handler.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/endpoints/run.py`:
- Around line 28-37: AmbientGRPCClient.from_env() is called only at import time
and _grpc_client is never recreated, so transient failures make _push_event()
permanently no-op; change initialization to lazy/retry: in _push_event (or the
helper that sends messages) check if _grpc_client is None or its channel is
unhealthy and attempt to recreate it by calling AmbientGRPCClient.from_env()
inside a try/except, falling back to logging on failure but not permanently
disabling delivery; ensure you reference AmbientGRPCClient.from_env, the
module-level _grpc_client, and the _push_event call site and make the recreate
logic thread-safe (e.g., brief lock or atomic swap) to avoid races.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/tests/test_events_endpoint.py`:
- Around line 66-80: The test test_registers_queue_before_streaming never uses
the prefilled q or asserts the endpoint-created queue; change the flow so after
opening the stream with client.stream("GET", "/events/t-1") you wait until
active_streams contains the key "t-1" (poll with a short timeout), assert that
active_streams["t-1"] is a Queue, then put the terminal event
(make_run_finished()) into that registered queue
(active_streams["t-1"].put_nowait(...)) before calling resp.read() so the
response body is driven by the queue the endpoint actually registered.

In `@docs/internal/design/blackboard-api.md`:
- Around line 438-453: The CTE latest_checkins currently runs across all
session_checkins before applying WHERE a.project_id = ?, causing the snapshot to
scan global check-in history; fix by restricting the CTE to the project (e.g.,
filter session_checkins by project_id or join agents in the CTE) or
alternatively denormalize and index project_id on session_checkins so the
DISTINCT ON (agent_id) scan is limited to the project's rows; update the SQL
around latest_checkins and the session_checkins schema/index accordingly
(referencing latest_checkins, session_checkins, agent_id, and the outer WHERE on
a.project_id).

In `@docs/internal/developer/agent-workflow.md`:
- Around line 122-125: The workflow uses two different namespace patterns
(commands using "session-") while the end-to-end flow provisions runners into
the project namespace (e.g., "smoke-test"); update both occurrences (the session
namespace listings and the cleanup recipe) to use a single namespace
variable/pattern (for example PROJECT_NAMESPACE or the literal "smoke-test") and
change the kubectl commands to target that namespace (use -n $PROJECT_NAMESPACE
or grep for the same pattern) so all listings, session detection, and cleanup
consistently reference the same namespace.

In `@REMOVE_CRDs.md`:
- Around line 462-470: The RBAC snippet's use of resourceNames: [] together with
a comment claiming label-selector enforcement is misleading because Kubernetes
RBAC cannot restrict list/watch/create by label; update the rules block (the
rules: entry and its resources/verbs) to use a supported scope boundary
instead—for example restrict by namespace (move this rule into a
Role/RoleBinding scoped to the target namespace), or bind to per-workload
ServiceAccount (use subjects: - kind: ServiceAccount name: <svc>), or state that
admission policy (e.g., a validating/mutating AdmissionController) is required;
remove the misleading comment about label selectors and replace it with one of
these supported approaches and concrete identifiers (namespace name or
serviceAccount name) so readers see an enforceable boundary instead of
resourceNames: [] + label-selector claim.
- Around line 52-308: The document mixes a rejected design claim with a full
migration plan—separate the superseded approach from the recommended path by
moving the detailed Migration Plan (sections starting at "## Migration Plan"
including "Phase 1"/"Phase 2"/"Phase 3"/"Phase 4" and the implementation
timeline) into a clearly labeled appendix like "Appendix A: Deprecated Migration
Plan" or remove it entirely from the main flow; update the introduction around
the sentence that flags the original proposal (the paragraph referencing
"critical flaws" near the top) to point readers to the appendix for the old plan
and ensure the main document only contains the endorsed recommendation and
operational guidance.

Add resource requests and limits for the PostgreSQL container.

The container lacks resources.requests and resources.limits. Without these, the scheduler cannot make informed placement decisions, and the pod risks OOMKill or starvation under load.

- 104, The postgresql container in ambient-api-server-db.yml is missing
resources.requests and resources.limits; add a resources block under the
container named "postgresql" that defines both requests (minimum cpu/memory for
scheduling, e.g. cpu and memory) and limits (upper bounds to avoid OOMs/CPU
exhaustion) — set sensible values for your workload (e.g. requests: cpu/memory
and limits: cpu/memory) and ensure the keys are resources.requests and
resources.limits so the scheduler can place the pod and Kubernetes can enforce
resource caps.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Consider pinning to a specific image tag for production.

Using newTag: latest in production can lead to non-deterministic deployments. While CI may set specific tags at deploy time, the base overlay should ideally reference a release tag or digest for reproducibility.

- 83, The kustomization overlay currently pins the image with newName:
quay.io/ambient_code/ambient_control_plane and newTag: latest, which is unsafe
for production; change the image reference in this kustomization to a specific
release tag or digest instead of "latest" (e.g., replace newTag: latest with
newTag: <RELEASE_TAG> or use newDigest: sha256:<DIGEST>) so deployments are
deterministic; update the entry that references
quay.io/ambient_code/ambient_control_plane (the newName/newTag pair) and ensure
your CI or deployment pipeline injects the concrete tag/digest if you need to
keep the file generic.

Move synchronous gRPC call to thread pool executor.

client.session_messages.push(...) is a synchronous blocking call being invoked without await inside an async function. The gRPC client uses synchronous stubs (grpc.Channel with channel.unary_unary()), which will block the event loop.

Wrap the call in asyncio.get_event_loop().run_in_executor() to execute it in a thread pool, or refactor the function to be synchronous if it doesn't need to be async.

Never drop the terminal SSE event on QueueFull.

put_nowait() drops any event when the tap queue is full, including RUN_FINISHED / RUN_ERROR. If one of those is dropped, /events never sees a close signal and can hang until disconnect even though the turn already completed. Preserve terminal events, even if older non-terminal chunks have to be evicted first.

Failed runs never publish a terminal gRPC event.

Only MESSAGES_SNAPSHOT and RUN_FINISHED survive the filter, and the RunErrorEvent built in the exception path is yielded straight to SSE. For CP-managed sessions, a failed run can therefore leave gRPC consumers waiting forever for completion. Persist RUN_ERROR too and push the fallback error event before yielding it.

Dial back the new info-level run logging.

last_content_preview writes user prompt text to pod logs, and the per-event [OUTBOUND SSE] line runs for every AG-UI chunk. That leaks prompt data and can explode log volume on long generations. Keep high-level metadata at info, but move prompt previews and per-event traces to redacted debug logging or aggregate counters.

These filtering tests don't assert the behavior they name.

test_user_message_triggers_bridge_run never checks that bridge.run() was invoked, and test_invalid_json_payload_skipped_gracefully only sleeps without proving the listener stayed alive after the bad payload. Both can pass even if the listener drops the message path entirely.

This test still targets the legacy AgenticSession / operator flow.

It waits for an AgenticSession in default, checks operator-created state, deletes the CR in cleanup, and reports success based on that object. The PR’s control-plane path reconciles sessions directly into Kubernetes resources, so this will false-fail even when the new behavior works. Assert on the direct outputs instead: project namespace, runner workload, and session status.

Step 6 can pass without covering the new session-messages path.

This POST still sends {"content": ...} and masks failures with || true, then treats the absence of .id as expected. For this PR, /sessions/{id}/messages is the gRPC-triggering path; the test should use the current request shape and fail unless the API returns the expected message metadata.

- Around line 381-395: The code assigns self._grpc_listener before calling

In `@components/manifests/base/platform/ambient-api-server-db.yml`:
- Around line 57-104: Pin the container image instead of using `:latest` and add
resource requests/limits for the `postgresql` container to make scheduling
deterministic and prevent OOM/starvation: replace the `image:
registry.redhat.io/rhel9/postgresql-16:latest` value with a specific, immutable
registry tag (e.g., the exact minor/patch or digest) and add a `resources:`
block under the `containers:` entry for the container named `postgresql`
containing both `requests` (cpu/memory) and `limits` (cpu/memory) appropriate
for a small DB (e.g., nonzero CPU and memory request and a higher limit),
keeping existing securityContext fields (`runAsNonRoot`,
`allowPrivilegeEscalation`, `capabilities.drop`) intact.

In `@components/manifests/base/rbac/control-plane-clusterrole.yaml`:
- Around line 17-27: The ClusterRole currently grants cluster-wide mutating
verbs for namespaced resources (rolebindings, secrets, serviceaccounts,
services, pods, jobs) which is too permissive; update the ClusterRole
(control-plane-clusterrole) to limit its verbs for those resources to read-only
(e.g., get/list/watch) or remove those resource entries entirely, keeping
cluster-scoped permissions only for session CRs and namespace bootstrap
operations, and then create a separate namespaced Role (and corresponding
RoleBinding) that grants create/update/patch/delete for secrets,
serviceaccounts, services, pods, jobs and rolebindings only inside
controller-owned namespaces; ensure the new Role/RoleBinding targets the
controller serviceAccount used by the control-plane so write access is confined
to controller-managed namespaces.

In `@components/manifests/base/rbac/control-plane-sa.yaml`:
- Around line 7-14: The manifest is creating a long-lived Secret named
ambient-control-plane-token of type kubernetes.io/service-account-token for the
ambient-control-plane service account; remove that Secret and switch consumers
to use a projected serviceAccountToken volume (TokenRequest API) instead: ensure
a ServiceAccount named ambient-control-plane exists (or create it), delete the
Secret resource ambient-control-plane-token, and update any
Pod/DaemonSet/Deployment specs that consumed that Secret to mount a projected
volume with projected.serviceAccountToken (set audience and expirationSeconds as
needed) so tokens are short-lived and auto-rotated.

In `@components/manifests/deploy`:
- Around line 73-90: The script currently proceeds to generate
/tmp/ambient-frontend-oauthclient.yaml even when ROUTE_HOST is empty, producing
an invalid redirect URI; update the oauth setup logic around the ROUTE_HOST
variable so that if ROUTE_HOST is empty you print a clear error and exit
non-zero (e.g., use echo + exit 1) before creating the OAuthClient manifest (the
block that writes to /tmp/ambient-frontend-oauthclient.yaml and the redirectURIs
entry), ensuring you only write the redirectURIs when ROUTE_HOST is populated.
- Around line 97-109: The fallback block that runs when OAUTH_APPLY_RC is
non-zero currently echoes CLIENT_SECRET_VALUE which leaks the live OAuth client
secret; update the fallback so it does not print the secret (do not echo
CLIENT_SECRET_VALUE). Instead emit a placeholder or instruct the admin to
generate/set the secret (e.g., show "secret: <REDACTED>" or omit the secret
line) when printing the oc apply snippet for the ambient-frontend OAuthClient
and keep other fields like redirectURIs/ROUTE_HOST intact.
- Around line 197-227: The deploy script writes plaintext OAuth secrets
(OAUTH_ENV_FILE) and mutates overlays/production in-place but only cleans up on
the happy path; update the script to create secrets and any overlay edits in
temporary files/dirs (use mktemp for OAUTH_ENV_FILE and temp overlay copies),
register a cleanup function via trap 'cleanup' EXIT that removes temp files and
restores overlays/production (e.g., revert changes or operate on the temp
overlay), and ensure oauth_setup and the "secrets" subcommand operate against
those temp paths so any failure still triggers the EXIT trap to remove secrets
and undo overlay mutations.

In `@components/manifests/deploy-no-api-server.sh`:
- Around line 73-76: The script currently mutates the checked-in overlay by
running `kustomize edit set namespace "$NAMESPACE"` (when `NAMESPACE` !=
"ambient-code") and only resets it on the happy path, which can leave the repo
modified on failure; instead, make the deployment operate on a temporary copy or
ensure cleanup on any exit by using an EXIT trap: copy the
`overlays/no-api-server` overlay into a temp directory (or stash/restore the
original) before running `kustomize edit set namespace` and register a trap
handler (trap cleanup EXIT) that always removes the temp copy or restores the
original, so `kustomize edit` never mutates the checked-in files and cleanup
runs even on errors.
- Around line 9-10: The script currently only uses "set -e" which doesn't
protect the "kustomize build . | oc apply -f -" pipeline from failures in the
left-hand command; enable pipefail by updating the shell options (e.g., add "set
-o pipefail" or change the existing "set -e" to a combined safe set like "set
-euo pipefail") before the pipeline so that a failure in "kustomize build . | oc
apply -f -" causes the script to fail; ensure the change is placed near the
existing "set -e" declaration so the "kustomize build . | oc apply -f -"
invocation is covered.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/kind-local/kustomization.yaml`:
- Around line 52-55: The overlay references control-plane-env-patch.yaml which
uses inconsistent local image names (localhost/ambient_control_plane vs
localhost/vteam_claude_runner) causing ImagePullBackOff in kind; update the
manifest(s) so the Deployment named ambient-control-plane and the
control-plane-env-patch.yaml use the same local registry prefix and image
basenames end-to-end (e.g., change the image entries in
control-plane-env-patch.yaml to match localhost/ambient_control_plane or
retag/load both images with the identical localhost/... names before kind load),
and/or add a kustomize image transformer in kustomization.yaml that normalizes
the image name for ambient-control-plane and vteam_claude_runner so Docker/Kind
won’t attempt external pulls.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/kind/kustomization.yaml`:
- Around line 135-141: Remove the localhost remaps for the two production images
so the shared kind overlay uses the default quay.io images: delete the mapping
entries that set newName: localhost/vteam_api_server newTag: latest for name:
quay.io/ambient_code/vteam_api_server and the mapping that sets newName:
localhost/ambient_control_plane newTag: latest for name:
quay.io/ambient_code/ambient_control_plane; instead place those localhost remaps
only in the kind-local overlay so non-local kind runs keep the quay.io
production images.

In
`@components/manifests/overlays/production/ambient-api-server-jwt-args-patch.yaml`:
- Line 19: When --enable-authz=true is present, update the corresponding
--cors-allowed-headers flag(s) so the header list includes Authorization in
addition to X-Ambient-Project; find the entries that set --enable-authz and the
sibling --cors-allowed-headers (the flags named "--enable-authz" and
"--cors-allowed-headers" in this YAML) and add Authorization to the allowed
headers value for each occurrence so browser preflight requests with the Bearer
token are accepted.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/production/api-server-image-patch.yaml`:
- Line 10: The patch currently pins the API image to a mutable tag ("image:
.../vteam_api_server:latest"); update the production overlay so both the main
container and the migration initContainer use an immutable image digest instead
of :latest (replace "vteam_api_server:latest" with the corresponding sha256
digest for the built artifact), and ensure both container image fields reference
the exact same digest to guarantee identical binaries across deployments.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/production/control-plane-env-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 15-16: Replace the unpinned RUNNER_IMAGE value
("quay.io/ambient_code/vteam_claude_runner:latest") with the CI-produced
immutable reference (a specific tag or digest) so control-plane pods/jobs use
the tested artifact; update the RUNNER_IMAGE env var value to be injected from
CI (e.g., a pipeline variable like CI_RUNNER_IMAGE_TAG or an image@sha256
digest) and ensure any templating or kustomize substitution that sets
RUNNER_IMAGE is wired to the CI output.

In `@components/manifests/overlays/production/control-plane-image-patch.yaml`:
- Around line 9-10: The image for the container named "ambient-control-plane" is
pinned to the mutable tag ":latest", which undermines reproducible production
rollouts; change the image field for the "ambient-control-plane" container to an
immutable reference (preferably an image digest like
image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/ambient-code/ambient_control_plane@sha256:<digest>
or a specific versioned tag such as :vX.Y.Z) so deployments reference a fixed
artifact and enable reliable rollbacks and audits.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/_grpc_client.py`:
- Around line 122-125: The close() method currently closes and clears
self._channel but leaves the cached stub self._session_messages pointing at a
stub bound to the old channel; update close() to also clear the cached session
stub (set self._session_messages to None or equivalent) so subsequent uses
recreate a fresh stub tied to a new channel; reference the close() method and
the _session_messages attribute when making this change.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/_session_messages_api.py`:
- Around line 77-84: The logger currently emits message payload previews at INFO
(the payload_preview variable logged via logger.info alongside session_id,
event_type, payload_len), which exposes user content; change both the push and
watch code paths so the INFO-level log only includes metadata (session_id,
event_type, payload_len) and move the payload_preview/redacted content to a
DEBUG-level log (e.g., logger.debug) so previews are not shipped at info. Locate
the logger.info calls that reference payload_preview in _session_messages_api
(and the analogous watch path) and remove payload_preview from the info log,
adding a separate logger.debug that logs payload_preview when needed.
- Around line 193-202: The inline varint decoder _decode_varint must be
hardened: add bounds checks before reading data[pos], enforce a maximum varint
length (e.g., 10 bytes) and raise a clear exception (e.g., ValueError or custom
ParseError) on truncation or overflow instead of indexing out of range or
looping forever; similarly update the inline wire-type parsers in this file that
iterate fields to validate bounds before each read, to skip
unknown/forward-compatible wire types by using their
length-delimited/varint/fixed-size semantics rather than stopping parsing, and
to raise on truncated frames so the watch loop can handle errors safely. Ensure
the exception type is consistent (e.g., ParseError) and is used by the code
paths that consume _decode_varint so malformed/newer frames are detected and
handled instead of causing crashes or silent skips.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/app.py`:
- Around line 335-338: The gRPC branch currently calls
_push_initial_prompt_via_grpc(prompt, session_id) once while the HTTP branch
uses exponential retry/backoff; reinstate the same retry/backoff behavior for
the gRPC path by wrapping the call to _push_initial_prompt_via_grpc in the same
retry loop or helper used for the HTTP path (or extract a shared retry helper)
and ensure failures retry with exponential backoff and eventual logging/raise
semantics consistent with the HTTP flow; update the grpc_url branch where
_push_initial_prompt_via_grpc is invoked so transient control-plane/API blips
don't permanently drop the INITIAL_PROMPT.
- Around line 128-135: The startup currently awaits
bridge._grpc_listener.ready.wait() indefinitely; change this to a bounded wait
using asyncio.wait_for with a configurable timeout (e.g., GRPC_READY_TIMEOUT env
var) when called after bridge._setup_platform(), catch asyncio.TimeoutError, log
an error including session_id and the timeout value, and then fail startup
(raise/exit) so FastAPI doesn't hang; update the code paths in
ambient_runner.app where bridge._setup_platform() and
bridge._grpc_listener.ready.wait() are used to implement the timeout and error
handling.
- Around line 341-381: The async function _push_initial_prompt_via_grpc is
performing blocking gRPC I/O (client.session_messages.push and client.close) on
the event loop; move the synchronous push call into asyncio.to_thread(...) so it
runs off the loop and ensure the AmbientGRPCClient is closed in a finally block
(call client.close inside finally) to guarantee cleanup even on error; locate
AmbientGRPCClient.from_env(), client.session_messages.push(...), and
client.close() in _push_initial_prompt_via_grpc to implement these changes.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/bridge.py`:
- Around line 230-248: The base inject_message hook currently no-ops and
silently drops inbound messages; update inject_message to log a warning (e.g.
using self.logger or the module logger) that includes safe metadata—session_id,
event_type, and a harmless indicator of payload size/truncated length—but not
the full payload content—so bridges that don't override inject_message will emit
a visible warning; keep the method signature and behavior otherwise unchanged so
subclasses still override as needed.

In
`@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/bridges/claude/grpc_transport.py`:
- Around line 310-339: The synchronous call to
self._grpc_client.session_messages.push inside _write_message blocks the event
loop; move that RPC off the loop by calling it in a thread/executor (e.g. await
asyncio.to_thread(...) or await loop.run_in_executor(None, ...)) and await the
result so _write_message remains async-safe; use the same args
(self._session_id, event_type="assistant", payload=payload), wrap the call with
try/except to log failures, and reference _write_message and
session_messages.push when making the change.
- Around line 236-256: The current loop drops terminal events when
stream_queue.put_nowait() raises QueueFull and also fails to emit a terminal if
bridge.run() raises; modify the loop in grpc_transport.py around
self._bridge.run(input_data) so that when stream_queue exists you: (1) if the
event is a terminal type (RUN_FINISHED or RUN_ERROR) use await
stream_queue.put(event) (or otherwise block/retry) to guarantee it is enqueued
instead of dropping it, and for non-terminal events keep the non-blocking
behavior with a logged drop; and (2) in the except Exception exc: handler,
detect whether a terminal event was already enqueued for thread_id and if not
create and enqueue a synthetic RUN_ERROR terminal event (including error
details) and call writer.consume(...) for that synthetic event so
GRPCMessageWriter persists a final assistant record.
- Around line 83-89: The watcher function _watch_in_thread currently accepts an
asyncio.Event stop_event which is not thread-safe; change the stop signal to a
threading.Event (update the type hints and any callers that construct/pass
stop_event) so the ThreadPoolExecutor worker can safely check
stop_event.is_set() from the thread; keep using loop.call_soon_threadsafe(...)
for any cross-thread handoff into the asyncio loop (e.g., placing messages onto
msg_queue or scheduling callbacks). Also update the other watcher usages
referenced (the functions/blocks around the occurrences at lines ~131-140,
~170-171, ~186-187) to construct a threading.Event in the event-loop thread and
pass it into _watch_in_thread, and remove any await/asyncio-specific operations
on the stop flag inside the thread. Ensure all references to stop_event use
threading.Event methods (is_set/set/clear) and adjust type annotations
accordingly.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/endpoints/events.py`:
- Around line 61-63: The handlers currently unconditionally remove
active_streams[thread_id] in their finally blocks which can delete another
handler's queue; change the cleanup to be ownership-based by checking that
active_streams.get(thread_id) is the same queue object created in this handler
before popping it (e.g., if active_streams.get(thread_id) is queue:
active_streams.pop(thread_id, None)). Apply this pattern for all places where a
handler creates queue: asyncio.Queue and later removes active_streams[thread_id]
(including the blocks around active_streams assignment and finally cleanup).

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/ambient_runner/endpoints/run.py`:
- Around line 57-60: The _push_event function currently filters events to only
persist "MESSAGES_SNAPSHOT" and "RUN_FINISHED", causing RunErrorEvent/RUN_ERROR
to be sent to SSE clients but not written to the session stream; update the
event_type check(s) in _push_event (and the other occurrences around the same
logic) to also allow/persist "RUN_ERROR" (and any RunErrorEvent variants where
event_type may be an enum or string) so that terminal error events are written
to the session stream and CP-managed consumers receive a terminal gRPC event.
- Around line 173-189: The info-level logging currently includes prompt content
previews; change the logger.info that logs
msg_count/last_role/last_content_preview to log only metadata at info
(msg_count, last_role, run_id, thread_id) and move the last_content_preview to
logger.debug with redaction (e.g., replace actual content with "<redacted>" or
include only a safe length hash) so prompts are not written at info. Do the same
for the per-event streamer logging (the info call that emits each streamed
event): lower it to debug and ensure event payloads are redacted/hashed rather
than full content. Locate and update the logger.info calls referencing
msg_count, last_role, last_content_preview and the per-event logger that prints
streamed events.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/tests/test_bridge_claude.py`:
- Around line 53-88: The tests currently patch ClaudeBridge._setup_platform and
never exercise it; instead, remove the patch that mocks _setup_platform and
actually call await bridge._setup_platform() in both tests: in
test_setup_platform_starts_grpc_listener_when_url_set, set AMBIENT_GRPC_URL in
env, patch ambient_runner.bridges.claude.bridge.GRPCSessionListener to return a
MagicMock instance, then await bridge._setup_platform(), assert
bridge._grpc_listener is the mock instance and that GRPCSessionListener was
constructed/called as expected; in
test_setup_platform_no_grpc_listener_without_url, ensure AMBIENT_GRPC_URL is
absent from os.environ, await bridge._setup_platform(), and assert
bridge._grpc_listener is still None. Ensure you reference
ClaudeBridge._setup_platform, ClaudeBridge._grpc_listener and
GRPCSessionListener in the changes.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/tests/test_events_endpoint.py`:
- Around line 66-80: The test currently never checks that the endpoint
registered a queue because the prefilled local queue `q` is not attached to
`active_streams`; change the test in `test_registers_queue_before_streaming` to
assert registration after the client connects but before consuming the body:
after opening the stream with `client.stream("GET", "/events/t-1")` and
verifying `resp.status_code == 200`, assert that `active_streams` contains the
key "t-1" and that `active_streams["t-1"]` is an `asyncio.Queue` (or otherwise
has the expected behavior), then call `resp.read()` to finish the response; this
ensures the endpoint created and registered its own queue instead of relying on
the unused local `q`.

In `@components/runners/ambient-runner/tests/test_grpc_transport.py`:
- Around line 152-208: Both tests lack assertions proving the listener behavior:
in test_user_message_triggers_bridge_run you must verify
GRPCSessionListener._listen_loop actually invoked bridge.run by replacing
bridge.run with a spy/stub that sets an asyncio.Event or increments a counter
and awaiting that event after listener.ready; in
test_invalid_json_payload_skipped_gracefully you must send a subsequent valid
message (e.g., a second _make_session_message with a valid payload) and assert
the listener still processes it (use a stubbed bridge.run that records calls or
sets an Event) to prove the listener stayed alive after the bad payload; update
the tests to await those events/flags and assert expected call counts on
bridge.run.

In `@docs/internal/design/blackboard-api.md`:
- Around line 438-453: The CTE latest_checkins is computing DISTINCT
ON(agent_id) over all session_checkins, causing the query to scan global
history; move the project filter into the CTE (i.e., restrict session_checkins
with WHERE project_id = ?) so DISTINCT ON only considers checkins for the
requested project, and ensure the ORDER BY in the CTE still uses agent_id,
created_at DESC; alternatively, if project-scoped reads are required everywhere,
denormalize and add an index on project_id in the SessionCheckIn model/table to
avoid global scans.

In `@docs/internal/developer/agent-workflow.md`:
- Around line 122-125: The docs use hard-coded namespace pattern "session-*" in
the kubectl inspection/cleanup commands which conflicts with the canonical
project namespace used later (e.g., "smoke-test"); update those commands to
reference the same canonical project namespace variable/name used elsewhere in
the document (replace "session-*" with the project namespace variable or
"smoke-test") so kubectl get namespaces and kubectl get pods target the correct
namespace; apply the same replacement to the other occurrences noted (lines
≈358-362).

In `@REMOVE_CRDs.md`:
- Around line 461-470: The RBAC snippet incorrectly implies label-selector or
resourceNames-based scoping for verbs like create/list/watch is enforced by
Kubernetes; update the documentation and example to remove the misleading claim
and show a correct approach: either (a) remove the comment about "Restricted by
label selector" and clarify that resourceNames: [] does not restrict
list/watch/create, or (b) replace the example with a valid pattern (e.g.,
namespace/serviceAccount-scoped RoleBindings or mention using an
AdmissionController/OPA/Gatekeeper to enforce label-based restrictions).
Reference the RBAC fields in the diff such as rules, apiGroups, resources:
["pods"], verbs: ["get","list","watch","create","update","patch","delete"], and
resourceNames so reviewers can find and correct the misleading lines.
- Around line 7-8: The document currently flags the proposal as critically
flawed but still leaves the detailed four-phase migration plan and 8-week
timeline in the main body; move that superseded plan and timeline into a new
clearly labeled "Rejected approach" appendix (or remove the timeline entirely)
and replace the main body with the recommended, corrected guidance only; update
or add a brief note at the top referencing the relocated appendix so readers are
not misled by the outdated plan (search for the "four-phase migration plan",
"8-week timeline", and the sentence starting with "⚠️ CRITICAL" to find the
sections to move).

In `@test-e2e-control-plane.sh`:
- Around line 106-114: Replace the fragile tail-based log check that uses oc
logs deployment/ambient-control-plane -n ${NAMESPACE} --tail=50 | grep -q
"${SESSION_ID}" with a time-window or resource-based assertion: use oc logs ...
--since or --since-time with a timestamp window that covers when the session was
created (still grepping for ${SESSION_ID}), or better, assert on the reconciled
resource/status (e.g., query the controller-managed CR or its status via oc
get/<kind> -n ${NAMESPACE> -o jsonpath and check for ${SESSION_ID}) so success
isn't gated on the last 50 log lines.
- Around line 149-164: The test currently posts a simple {"content":...} and
silences transport failures with "|| true", so it can pass without exercising
the gRPC session-messages contract; update the curl payload in the
MESSAGE_RESPONSE/curl invocation to send the expected event structure (include
event_type and payload fields matching the
/api/ambient/v1/sessions/${SESSION_ID}/messages contract) and remove the "||
true" suppression so curl/oc failures propagate; then keep the existing jq check
on MESSAGE_RESPONSE (.id) and fail the script (non-zero exit or log error) when
the API returns an error or no id is present so the step breaks when the
contract is violated.
- Around line 48-52: The test currently validates the legacy AgenticSession CR
(agenticsessions.vteam.ambient-code) in the default namespace—delete/read/wait
logic around that CR should be replaced to assert on the new control-plane
behavior: instead of looking for AgenticSession CRs, wait for the created
project namespace and the runner workload (Job/Pod) readiness for the session;
update all occurrences that reference AgenticSession or
agenticsessions.vteam.ambient-code (including the blocks at lines referenced) to
check the project namespace existence and then poll the runner Job/Pod status
(ready/completed conditions) and perform cleanup by deleting the runner Job/Pod
and namespace rather than the AgenticSession CR.

Namespace name may contain invalid characters.

namespaceForProject only lowercases project.ID but does not sanitize characters. If project.ID contains underscores, dots, or other characters invalid for Kubernetes namespace names (must match [a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?), namespace creation will fail.

## Known Limitations

- **List-then-watch gap**: Resources created between initial sync and gRPC stream establishment may be missed until the next watch event.
- **`any` type in events**: `ResourceEvent.Object` uses `any`, requiring type assertions in reconcilers. Generics would be more robust.
- **In-memory cache only**: Cache is rebuilt on each restart from a full initial sync.
- **Write-back echo is timestamp-based**: Relies on `UpdatedAt` microsecond equality. A resource-version approach would be more robust.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

The bootstrap gap can permanently miss resources.

Treating the list-then-watch gap as a “known limitation” understates the impact: anything created after the initial list and before the watch is established may never reconcile unless it changes again. The control plane needs a resumable cursor/revision model, or a second diff pass before reporting ready.

gRPC watch before reporting the system as "ready"; make sure to reference the
initial sync and gRPC stream establishment points in the design text and
explicitly state that readiness is only reported after the second-diff or

reconciled.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

grpc_url is ignored after construction.

GRPCSessionListener stores and logs grpc_url, but start() always calls AmbientGRPCClient.from_env() and never passes self._grpc_url through. That lets config/tests believe one endpoint is in use while the listener actually connects to another. Either build the client from self._grpc_url or drop the parameter entirely.

Define the concurrent update rule for current_session_id.

Re-ignition is explicitly supported, so an older session can finish after a newer one starts. If completion blindly clears or rewrites current_session_id, the pointer can move backwards or go null while a newer run is active. Specify a compare-and-clear rule (clear only if current_session_id == completing_session_id) or make single-active-session an invariant.

Unresolved: Document the sessions collection endpoint or remove the CLI mapping.

The CLI mapping table (lines 256-257) advertises GET /sessions for both acpctl get sessions and watch mode (-w), but the API Reference section (lines 334-340) documents only item-scoped session routes (GET /sessions/{id}, DELETE /sessions/{id}, etc.). This leaves CLI and SDK implementers without a contract for the collection and watch operations.

Either add the missing endpoint documentation to the API Reference section (e.g., GET /api/ambient/v1/sessions with pagination, filtering, and watch/streaming semantics), or remove lines 256-257 from the CLI mapping table to align with the item-scoped session model.

Revoke removed or downgraded group access.

This reconcile path only ensures current RoleBindings exist. If group_access drops a group or changes admin to view, the old managed binding survives and the higher privilege remains active. Reconcile managed RoleBindings as desired state and delete/update extras on modify.

The control plane imports the shared gRPC contract from components/ambient-api-server/pkg/api/grpc/ambient/v1 (verified in watcher.go and informer.go).

MODE=local is advertised but not runnable.

The entrypoint only handles "kube" and "test", so configuring "local" exits via "unknown mode". That makes one of the documented operating modes unusable until a runLocalMode branch is wired here or the mode is removed from config/docs.

Mode validation doesn't allow the documented "local" mode.

The README explicitly documents that MODE supports "kube", "local", or "test", but the validation here only permits "kube" and "test". Add "local" to the switch case and update the error message on line 63 to include it.

64, The switch over cfg.Mode in config validation currently only accepts "kube"
and "test"; add "local" as an accepted case (i.e., include case "local":
alongside "kube" and "test") and update the error returned by fmt.Errorf to list
all three allowed modes ("kube", "local", "test") so the message and validation
align with the README.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Remove stale creator admin bindings on project updates.

This path is create-only. If ambient-code.io/created-by changes or is removed, the old managed RoleBinding remains and the previous subject keeps admin access. Reconcile managed creator bindings as desired state, not write-once state.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Label inconsistency: component: api should likely be component: grpc.

This route serves the gRPC endpoint, but uses component: api label. The production overlay's equivalent route uses component: grpc. This inconsistency may cause issues with label selectors or monitoring queries.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Consider adding insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy for explicit HTTP handling.

Similar to the production route, with termination: passthrough, HTTP requests won't be automatically handled. Adding insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy: None explicitly rejects insecure connections.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Missing insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy may allow plaintext HTTP traffic.

With termination: passthrough, the router forwards encrypted traffic directly to the backend. However, removing insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy: Redirect means HTTP requests on port 80 won't be automatically redirected to HTTPS, potentially allowing unencrypted access attempts.

Consider adding insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy: None to explicitly reject insecure connections:

Catch stream failures inside watch().

Unlike push(), this generator lacks exception handling for RPC setup and stream-iteration failures. A transient gRPC failure during stream = self._watch_rpc(...) or the for pb in stream: loop will propagate to the caller instead of ending the stream cleanly with a warning log.

## Summary

- **Control Plane**: New `ambient-control-plane` Go service that watches
the ambient-api-server via gRPC streams and reconciles desired state
into Kubernetes (sessions → Jobs, projects → Namespaces/RoleBindings).
Supports `kube`, `local`, and `test` modes.
- **Runner**: gRPC-based AG-UI event streaming for the Python runner —
`GRPCSessionListener` watches inbound session messages,
`GRPCMessageWriter` pushes structured AG-UI events back, with full
structured logging and observability.
- **Manifests**: RBAC, gRPC Service/Route, kind/production overlays, and
CI image build for the control plane.

## Components changed

 < /dev/null |  Component | Change |
|---|---|
| `components/ambient-control-plane/` | New Go service (informer,
reconciler, kubeclient, watcher) |
| `components/runners/ambient-runner/` | gRPC transport layer
(`grpc_transport.py`, `_grpc_client.py`, `_session_messages_api.py`) |
| `components/manifests/` | RBAC, gRPC route, kind overlay patches, CI

## Test plan

- [x] `go fmt`, `go vet`, `golangci-lint` — all clean
- [x] `go test ./...` — all packages pass
- [x] `ruff format` + `ruff check` — all clean
- [x] `python -m pytest tests/` — 70 tests pass (3 test files; 2
pre-existing hang unrelated to this PR)
- [x] Images built and loaded into running kind cluster
- [x] `deployment/ambient-control-plane` rolled out successfully
