feat(vanity-gateway): import the vanity-gateway helm chart - #873
Conversation
The chart existed only as a published OCI artifact. No source tree for it was present in this repo or in any known upstream project, so the chart was recovered by unpacking helm-nvcf-vanity-gateway:0.1.0-nvcf-10204.1 and is imported here byte for byte, plus a .helmignore that packaging strips. Adds the usual chart subtree scaffolding (Makefile, README, AGENTS.md, values.local.yaml) and CI validation values, matching the shape of deploy/helm/encrypted-secret-store. No release lane is registered. The published version 0.1.0-nvcf-10204.1 is not a form the release tooling accepts, so the chart needs renumbering to a plain X.Y.Z before it can ship from here.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request adds the NVCF Vanity Gateway Helm chart. It defines configuration schemas, Kubernetes resources, deployment and packaging commands, and chart documentation. ChangesVanity Gateway Helm Chart
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The imported chart’s default values omit pod and container security controls, weakening runtime isolation, and its clean target deletes packaged artifacts without an explicit confirmation guard. These are bounded risks that warrant owner awareness or follow-up, but the supplied evidence does not indicate a release-blocking correctness or availability issue. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

The label was built as `printf "%s-%s" .Chart.Name .Chart.Version` with none of the `replace "+" "_" | trunc 63 | trimSuffix "-"` that the helm create scaffold applies and that every sibling chart in deploy/helm carries. helm and helmfile pass .Chart.Version as "0.1.0-nvcf-10204.1", so the label is valid and nothing fails there. Flux does not: helm-controller passes the OCI artifact revision, "0.1.0-nvcf-10204.1+14abb5bad4ee", and SemVer build metadata is illegal in a label value. Server-side apply then rejects every object in the release: ServiceAccount "vanity-gateway" is invalid: metadata.labels: Invalid value: "helm-nvcf-vanity-gateway-0.1.0-nvcf-10204.1+14abb5bad4ee": a valid label must be an empty string or consist of alphanumeric characters, '-', '_' or '.', and must start and end with an alphanumeric character Reproduced with a HelmRelease against helm-nvcf-vanity-gateway:0.1.0-nvcf-10204.1 pulled through an OCIRepository: InstallFailed on all five objects (ServiceAccount, both ConfigMaps, Service, Deployment). gateway-routes, llm-api-gateway, llm-request-router, nvct-api, grpc-proxy, rate-limiter and helm-reval all install cleanly under the same controller because they have the replace. Rendering the published chart with the version helm-controller supplies: before helm.sh/chart: "helm-nvcf-vanity-gateway-0.1.0-nvcf-10204.1+14abb5bad4ee" after helm.sh/chart: "helm-nvcf-vanity-gateway-0.1.0-nvcf-10204.1_14abb5bad4ee" All five objects then carry a valid label. `helm lint` is unchanged, still only the "icon is recommended" INFO. Note that neither `helm lint` nor `helm template` can catch this: both supply a version with no '+', so CI stays green either way. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
appVersion was 1.25.0-nvcf-10204.0, and image tag defaults to `default .Chart.AppVersion .Values.vanityGateway.image.tag`, so a chart install that does not override image.tag resolves to that tag. nvcr.io/0651155215864979/ncp-dev/nvcf-ai-api-gateway-service:1.25.0-nvcf-10204.0 is published arm64-only. Its OCI index carries linux/arm64 plus an unknown/unknown attestation entry and no linux/amd64 manifest, so on amd64 nodes the pull fails: Failed to pull image ".../nvcf-ai-api-gateway-service:1.25.0-nvcf-10204.0": no match for platform in manifest: not found -> ImagePullBackOff, Deployment never becomes available. Enumerated all 47 tags in that repository: 46 are linux/amd64 + linux/arm64. 1.25.0-nvcf-10204.0, the one this chart pinned, is the only arm64-only tag. That is consistent with it being a branch build pushed outside the normal lane; config/services/vanity-gateway.yaml builds //src/invocation-plane-services/vanity-gateway:image_index, which is multi-arch. Moves to 1.32.1, the current release (tag src/invocation-plane-services/vanity-gateway/v1.32.1, announced in #nv-nvcf-cicd on 2026-08-13), which is multi-arch. This also drops the nvcf-10204 build token from appVersion, which the PR description already flagged as needing to go before the chart can be released. `version` still carries it and still needs renumbering to a plain X.Y.Z before a release lane can be registered. Verified on a k3d cluster (amd64): with the arm64-only tag the pod sits in ImagePullBackOff; on a multi-arch tag it reaches 1/1 Running and serves /health 200 through the Gateway API HTTPRoute.

Why
helm-nvcf-vanity-gatewayis deployed today but has no source anywhere. Itexists only as a published OCI artifact with two tags. It is consumed as a
pinned chart dependency by the NVCF umbrella chart, so the deployed topology
depends on a chart nobody can read, review, or change. This recovers the source
and puts it under normal review.
What changed
Unpacked the newest published artifact,
helm-nvcf-vanity-gateway:0.1.0-nvcf-10204.1,and imported it at
deploy/helm/vanity-gateway/helm-nvcf-vanity-gateway. Thechart files are byte for byte identical to the artifact. The only added file
inside the chart is
.helmignore, whichhelm packagestrips and so could notbe recovered; it is copied from
ess-api.Around it, the standard chart subtree scaffolding, matching
deploy/helm/encrypted-secret-store:.gitignore,AGENTS.md,CLAUDE.md,Makefile(releasevanity-gateway, namespacenvcf, helm_dirhelm-nvcf-vanity-gateway),README.md, andvalues.local.yaml. Also addstools/ci/helm-validate-values/vanity-gateway.yaml, mirroringess.yaml.Diff between the two published tags, for the record.
0.1.0-nvcf-10204.0is notimported:
values.schema.jsonvanityGateway.shutdown, wiringterminationGracePeriodSeconds(330)and a preStop sleep hook (70s) into the deployment, so pods drain instead of
being cut off
config.secretsPathfrom a hardcoded agent-injected pathto empty
appVersion1.25.0 becomes 1.25.0-nvcf-10204.0Plan Summary
Renders 6 objects with the CI validation values: ServiceAccount, 2 ConfigMaps
(env and route mapping), Service, Deployment, ServiceMonitor. With chart
defaults alone it renders 5, since
serviceMonitor.enabledisfalse. Nothingis deployed by this PR.
Usage
cd deploy/helm/vanity-gateway make lint make templateTesting
helm lintpasses with only theicon is recommendedINFO.helm templaterenders the 6 objects above.
values.local.yamlrenders too, at replica countmake validatewas not run;kubeconformis not installed locally.The chart renders on defaults alone, but
vanityGateway.image.registryis emptyby default and produces an unqualified image reference, so the CI values set a
registry and repository. Note that
values.schema.jsonrequires a non-emptyimage.repository, so unlike the ESS chart,values.local.yamlcannot blank itout; it keeps the default repository and leaves only the registry empty.
Notes
No release lane is registered, deliberately.
0.1.0-nvcf-10204.1is not aversion the release tooling accepts (it wants
X.Y.Z,X.Y.Z-dev.N, orX.Y.Z-rc.N), soinitial_versioncannot be set from it. Nothing was added totools/ci/github-release-subprojects.jsonand no tag or Release was created.Recommendation: renumber
versionto0.2.0and setappVersionto the plainimage tag, then register the lane in a follow-up.
0.2.0rather than0.1.0because
0.1.0sorts below the two artifacts already published, which wouldmake the first released chart look older than what is deployed.
The chart version and appVersion still carry a
nvcf-10204build token. It iskept here so the imported files match the published artifact exactly, but it is
another reason to renumber before release.
OSS hygiene: scanned the unpacked chart and all added files for internal GitLab
hosts, artifact and vault endpoints, internal URLs and IPs, private tracker IDs,
and credential-shaped strings. Nothing found that cannot be published. The only
hits were Apache license URLs, the
nvcr.ioOCI host default copied verbatimfrom the existing ESS Makefile, the in-cluster DNS name
invocation.nvcf.svc.cluster.local, and the version strings above. Notably theolder artifact defaulted
secretsPathto an agent-injected secrets path; theimported version no longer does.
Provenance that could not be determined: which repo and pipeline built these two
artifacts. They are absent from
deploy/helm/, the archived GitLab umbrella, the*-colocated-deployrepos, and the archived gateway service repo (whose deployrepo is Kustomize, not Helm). There is no
config/chartsentry and no dispatchertag prefix for it. So the build lane that produced these tags is still unknown,
and until this chart has a release lane there is nothing keeping it in sync.
