ci: publish the chart from the release tag, drop the helm_v* trigger - #51
Merged
Conversation
The chart now rides the operator's `v*` release tag instead of its own `helm_v*` tag: one tag ships the image, the signed CLI assets, the crate, the OS packages and the chart, so there is no second tag to remember and no window where a published chart's appVersion points at an image that was never built. Folding it into ci.yml replaces the standalone workflow's two guards with stronger ones that cost nothing: - the tag-vs-Chart.yaml version assertion is now `needs: version-consistency`, which already gates tag == workspace == Chart.yaml version + appVersion - the `docker manifest inspect zondax/kobe-operator:<appVersion>` probe is now `needs: publish`, i.e. the image was pushed in THIS run Tag-only (`if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/v')`) — a push to main must not re-publish an already-released chart version, since chart versions are immutable in the registry. Prerequisite for the first push is unchanged: `zondax/kobe` must exist on Docker Hub and be public, and DOCKERHUB_TOKEN needs rights to push it.

Summary
ci.ymlas apublish-chartjob on thev*release tag.github/workflows/publish-chart.ymland itshelm_v*triggerWhy
The chart is versioned with the operator as of #50 (
Chart.yamlversion:==appVersion:== workspace version, enforced by the version gate). A separatehelm_v*tag then buys nothing and costs a step everyone can forget — and forgetting it is exactly how you end up with a chart whoseappVersionpoints at an image that was never built.One tag now ships everything: image, signed CLI assets, crate, OS packages, chart.
What the fold-in buys
The standalone workflow's two guards become dependency edges, which are strictly stronger:
helm_v<x>==Chart.yaml version:needs: version-consistency— already gates tag == workspace ==version:+appVersion:docker manifest inspect zondax/kobe-operator:<appVersion>needs: publish— the image was pushed in this runKept tag-only (
if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/v')): a push to main must not try to re-publish an already-released chart version, since chart versions are immutable in the registry.Also worth noting: with the vendored
kobe-*.tgzgone from the tree (#45), thehelm push kobe-*.tgzglob is now unambiguous.Prerequisite (unchanged from #46)
zondax/kobedoes not exist on Docker Hub yet. The first push creates it private, andDOCKERHUB_TOKENneeds rights to create a repo underzondax. Create it public up front — a private chart repo fails closed for every consumer and surfaces as an auth error rather than a visibility one. Until that is done, this job is the one red square on an otherwise green release run; it does not block images, the GitHub release, crates.io, or the OS packages, which are independent jobs / a separaterelease: publishedcascade.Validation
