Description

This PR adds comprehensive developer documentation for setting up and configuring HAB_AUTH_TOKEN for the Chef Infra Client 19 transition to the base-2025 channel in Chef Habitat SaaS Builder.

  • Created docs/dev/habitat-base-2025-setup.md with detailed setup instructions
  • Documented the process for obtaining a Chef License Key
  • Provided step-by-step instructions for generating HAB_AUTH_TOKEN
  • Included guidance for configuring GitHub fork repository secrets
  • Added timeline information for the base-2025 channel transition

Purpose

This documentation is essential for community contributors who maintain forks of the chef/chef repository, as the transition to base-2025 channel requires proper authentication setup for habitat builds, verify, and kitchen-tests to function correctly.

Documentation Includes

  • License key provisioning instructions
  • Habitat Builder profile configuration steps
  • GitHub repository secret setup guide
  • Timeline and migration information
  • Links to additional resources and support channels
