Run kagent 1.0 and Substrate on the platform cluster for the Agentic Engineer lane #5892

Closed

Description

@devantler

🤖 Generated by the Agentic Engineer (interactive Claude Code session)

Part of devantler-tech/monorepo#4866.

Goal

Run kagent 1.0 and its Substrate runtime on the platform cluster through Flux, idle and least-privilege, so the Agentic Engineer lane has a place to run.

Acceptance criteria

  • Substrate and kagent are installed from their OCI Helm charts through OCIRepository + HelmRelease, pinned to exact versions (kagent 1.0 is a release candidate today; pin the GA release once it ships).
  • The bundled sample agents and tool servers are off. Controller RBAC is namespace-scoped, and the credential provider may read only the lane's own namespace.
  • The gateway's interception CA is created declaratively, not by a manual kubectl-ate step.
  • Cilium network policies allow only the egress the lane needs (the model API and GitHub), and kagent's UI, if exposed at all, sits behind the platform's SSO.
  • Manifest validation, the policy suites and the Kubescape floor pass, with any exception justified as a ClusterSecurityException.
  • Verified live: the controller, Substrate and gateway are Ready, and a throwaway agent completes one turn on a test key with no GitHub access.

    Every criterion is met and verified on prod (2026-11-11).

    • Installed from OCI Helm charts, pinned exactly; GA once it shipped. Substrate runs its 1.0.0 charts. kagent runs 1.0.0, its first GA release, since chore(kagent): upgrade the control plane to 1.0.0 #6023 merged 03:38Z: kagent@1.0.0 and kagent-crds@1.0.0 report Ready, and the controller and UI both run :1.0.0 with no errors since the rollout. One documented exception: the control-plane chart comes through an OCI HelmRepository rather than an OCIRepository chartRef, because a chartRef appends build metadata (+<digest>) to the chart version, and this chart turns that into an invalid label and image tag (feat(kagent): deploy kagent 1.0 and its Substrate sandbox runtime #5903).
    • Bundled samples off; least-privilege RBAC. No default providers or tool servers are installed (providers: null, kagent-tools disabled). The controller's RBAC is Roles in kagent and agentic-engineer only.
    • Interception CA created declaratively by cert-manager (certificate-egress-mitm-ca.yaml), with no manual kubectl-ate step.
    • Egress limited; UI behind SSO. Cilium policies limit the lane's egress to the model, GitHub and its own store. The kagent UI sits behind the platform's SSO (feat(kagent): expose the kagent UI behind SSO #5958), and gRPC-web passes through the gateway (fix(gateway): pass gRPC-web through to the apps that serve it #5961).
    • Validation, policy suites and the Kubescape floor pass in CI on every lane PR.
    • Verified live. The controller, Substrate and the gateway are Ready. The canary run on 2026-11-09 completed a full turn on the lane's agent: it named its model, read the monorepo over Git and reported its tools.
