Summary

Move all FORGE-specific bootstrap logic from inline YAML bash into a single bin/fournos_entrypoint script, implementing the Fournos execution-engine entrypoint contract (/opt/fournos/entrypoint).

This is the FORGE-side counterpart to the Fournos multi-engine decoupling work (openshift-psap/fournos#131).

Motivation

Previously, FORGE bootstrap bash (~170 lines total) was duplicated across three YAML files — two in the FORGE gitops repo and one in the Fournos repo. This coupling meant:

  • Only FORGE could run on Fournos
  • Changes to bootstrap logic required editing 3 files
  • Fournos had to ship FORGE-specific code

The new Fournos architecture defines a universal contract: every engine image provides /opt/fournos/entrypoint. Both the resolve Job and Tekton Tasks just call command: ["/opt/fournos/entrypoint"] — no engine-specific bash in YAML.

Changes

New: bin/fournos_entrypoint

The single source of truth for all FORGE bootstrap logic (~110 lines). Sequence:

  1. Validates required env vars (FJOB_NAME, FOURNOS_WORKLOAD_NAMESPACE, FOURNOS_STEP)
  2. Sets up artifact directories and logging
  3. Fetches the FournosJob spec via oc get fjob/...
  4. Sets up target-cluster kubeconfig or clusterless mode
  5. Exports all spec.env.* keys as environment variables
  6. Checks out the PR commit (PULL_PULL_SHA or PULL_NUMBER)
  7. Reads spec.executionEngine.forge.project
  8. Execs bin/run_ci "$FORGE_PROJECT" ci "$FOURNOS_STEP"

Modified: projects/core/image/Containerfile

  • Installs yq (used by the entrypoint to parse FournosJob YAML)
  • Creates /opt/fournos/entrypoint symlink → $APP_HOME/bin/fournos_entrypoint

Modified: fournos/gitops/base/workflows/task-forge-step.yaml

  • Removed ~80 lines of inline bash script: block
  • Added command: ["/opt/fournos/entrypoint"] and args: []
  • Added ARTIFACT_DIR env var pointing to the Tekton workspace path
  • Comments updated to reflect the entrypoint-based architecture

Modified: fournos/gitops/base/workflows/resolve-job.yaml

  • Removed ~50 lines of inline bash in args:
  • Added command: ["/opt/fournos/entrypoint"] and args: []
  • Comments updated: this is now a GitOps-managed variant, not the canonical template

Before → After

Location Before After
task-forge-step.yaml ~80 lines inline bash command: ["/opt/fournos/entrypoint"]
resolve-job.yaml ~50 lines inline bash command: ["/opt/fournos/entrypoint"]
bin/fournos_entrypoint did not exist ~110 lines (single source of truth)
Containerfile no yq, no symlink installs yq + creates /opt/fournos/entrypoint symlink

Net effect: ~130 lines of duplicated inline bash replaced by 1 canonical script + 2 one-liner invocations.

Made with Cursor

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor
    • CI workflow steps now run through a shared entrypoint instead of inline scripts. Job configuration, cluster selection, environment variables, and commit checkout continue to be handled during execution.
    • Forge project validation and CI execution remain part of the workflow, with output recorded in a step-specific log.

Move all FORGE-specific bootstrap logic (FournosJob fetch, env export,
PR checkout, kubeconfig setup, run_ci dispatch) from inline YAML bash
into a single bin/fournos_entrypoint script.

Both task-forge-step.yaml and resolve-job.yaml now simply invoke
command: ["/opt/fournos/entrypoint"] — no engine-specific bash in YAML.

The Containerfile installs yq and creates the /opt/fournos/entrypoint
symlink pointing to bin/fournos_entrypoint, satisfying the Fournos
execution-engine contract.

This is the FORGE-side counterpart to the Fournos multi-engine
decoupling work.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR moves the Forge bootstrap workflow into bin/fournos_entrypoint. The resolve-job and forge task templates call the shared entrypoint, and the core image installs yq and exposes the script at /opt/fournos/entrypoint.

Changes

Fournos Bootstrap

Layer / File(s) Summary
Entrypoint setup and job configuration
bin/fournos_entrypoint
The script validates required variables, sets defaults, creates a step-specific log, fetches the FournosJob before cluster selection, and sets cluster mode and environment variables from job configuration.
Checkout and CI launch
bin/fournos_entrypoint
The script checks out the requested commit when configured, validates the Forge project, and executes bin/run_ci with the project and step.
Image and workflow wiring
projects/core/image/Containerfile, fournos/gitops/base/workflows/resolve-job.yaml, fournos/gitops/base/workflows/task-forge-step.yaml
The image installs yq, makes the entrypoint executable, and exposes it at /opt/fournos/entrypoint. Both workflow templates invoke that path; the forge task sets ARTIFACT_DIR directly.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: kpouget

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 76363

Remove environment values from the log and make the yq download fail on HTTP errors before merging. Otherwise credentials may be exposed and a successfully built image may fail to start Forge jobs.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 76363

A shared bootstrap entrypoint now handles both Forge Tasks and the resolve-job template. The Forge Task behavior is substantially preserved, but the resolve path can now write all job environment values to logs and artifacts without demonstrated redaction.

Retained concerns

  • Low · security · observed: The changed resolve-job template delegates to the shared entrypoint, which logs each non-null FournosJob spec.env value after redirecting output to run.log. Unlike the prior Forge Task path, this expands the behavior to the resolve path; local consumers can also capture resolver pod logs and publish workspace artifacts, with no demonstrated redaction or cleanup control.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — If the changed resolve template is used by the production operator, every non-null spec.env value available to that job can enter resolver pod logs and artifact logs. The maximum retained scope is bounded by the job environments supplied to that path, but production template use and artifact retention are not established locally.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The retained sensitive-data-exposure condition is a data path from imported FournosJob environment values through an unconditional echo in the shared entrypoint to run.log and the pod log stream; resolver log collection and pipeline artifact export provide downstream persistence paths.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The entrypoint obtains the FournosJob specification from the cluster and converts spec.env values into process environment variables. The local repository guidance treats artifact directories and logs as public and prohibits recording sensitive values there; no equivalent redaction control appears on the changed log path.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Resolve Jobs set backoffLimit to zero, limiting Kubernetes retry attempts, but this does not prevent sensitive content from being written during the initial execution. The local code does not establish deletion, redaction, or retention behavior for resolver logs or exported artifacts after success, failure, or external retries.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define the shared entrypoint contract so that secret-bearing environment values are never echoed, and verify the production resolve template plus artifact and pod-log retention behavior before relying on the shared path for resolver execution.

two things about this file:

  • can you add a warning banner (in comment) telling that this file is used from the image, and not from the PR
  • can you define the script like this, because the git pull in the middle of the may modify the file. Define&call means that the function is executed from memory, while with the current way, the file is read line by line from the FS, so the git pull breaks everything 😅
main() {

Pin yq and fail on HTTP errors.

curl -L can save an HTTP error response as /usr/local/bin/yq, and chmod still allows the image build to succeed. The entrypoint then fails when it invokes yq.

The latest URL also makes the image contents depend on upstream changes. Pin a release. The proposed yq --version check validates execution, but it is not checksum verification. The repository does not establish a mandatory checksum policy, so do not describe this patch as adding integrity verification.

not directly to the main topic of this PR, but while at it, I'd like to clarify the env var usage:

  • ARTIFACT_BASE_DIR isn't a good name as it conflicts with env.BASE_ARTIFACT_DIR
    • in Forge, env.BASE_ARTIFACT_DIR is the original env.ARTIFACT_DIR
    • ARTIFACT_BASE_DIR should be FOURNOS_BASE_ARTIFACT_DIR or something like that (the /workspace dir)

I wonder if there isn't something missing to distinguish the resolve entrypoint from the task entrypoint,
is that something you took into account?

I don't think that's the right one, from what I can see, Forge is using the pip version. Same name, but incompatible 🙃
