Everything looks correct. Here's the full report.

**Status: DONE_WITH_CONCERNS**

**File written:** `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/iac-library/aws/compute/eks-cluster-applications/vector.tf` — 167 lines

---

**Investigation findings:**

**What `external_secrets.tf` exposes:**
The `module "external_secrets"` call in `eks-cluster-applications/external_secrets.tf` has **no outputs** whatsoever — the external-secrets internal-module's `outputs.tf` is completely empty (confirmed at `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/security/external-secrets/outputs.tf`). There is no `cluster_secret_store_name` output to reference.

**Choice for `external_secrets_cluster_store_name`:**
Option 3 from the task priority list — added a new top-level variable `var.vector_external_secrets_cluster_store_name` (string, required when vector enabled, validated same as other required vars). This matches the same pattern used in `application_deployment.tf` which receives `external_secrets_vault_secret_name` and `external_secrets_cluster_store_vault_path` as direct top-level vars rather than pulling them from module outputs. An inline comment with a `TODO` explains the situation and points to the correct future fix (add `cluster_secret_store_name` output to the external-secrets internal-module).

**`local.external_secrets_enabled` reference:**
It exists — defined in `external_secrets.tf` lines 4-10. Used directly in the validate guard: `local.vector_enabled && !local.external_secrets_enabled`.

**One deviation from spec:** `vector_enabled_cluster_types` uses `type = map(string)` instead of `map(bool)` to match the existing `otel_collector_enabled_cluster_types` convention in this repo (`map(string)` is used throughout this module even for boolean-valued maps).

---

**`terraform fmt -check`:** exit 0 — clean.

**`terraform init -backend=false` (gitlab ref):** Failed as expected — the `v1.0.0` tag on the vector gitlab repo does not exist yet (or the repo itself isn't accessible yet). Error: `fatal: Could not read from remote repository`.

**Temporary local-path validation:** Switched source to `../../../../internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector` (the correct relative path). `terraform init -backend=false` succeeded. `terraform validate` returned:

```
Error: missing provider provider["registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws"].super_certificate_zone
```

This is a **pre-existing error** confirmed by running validate on the unmodified repo (before `vector.tf` existed) — same error, same exit code 1. It's caused by the `aws.super_certificate_zone` aliased provider in `common.tf` which must be passed in from a root module; it cannot be satisfied in an isolated validate run. This is not introduced by `vector.tf`.

**Final source ref state:** Restored to `git@gitlab.infrastructure.immuta.io:infrastructure/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector.git?ref=v1.0.0` before reporting done.

---

**Action required for Sir Charles:**

1. Once you tag the vector internal-module `v1.0.0`, the `terraform init` will succeed and the validate error will reduce to only the pre-existing `super_certificate_zone` provider issue.
2. When callers of `eks-cluster-applications` set `vector_enabled = true`, they must also pass `vector_external_secrets_cluster_store_name = "<store-name>"`. The typical value will be whatever the external-secrets module creates (likely `"vault-cluster-store"` — needs verification against the external-secrets internal-module's `main.tf`).
3. Longer-term: add `output "cluster_secret_store_name"` to the external-secrets internal-module, then replace `var.vector_external_secrets_cluster_store_name` with `module.external_secrets[0].cluster_secret_store_name` in `vector.tf` and remove the variable. The TODO comment in the file calls this out.

Prompt:
You are implementing Task C1 of an implementation plan: create a new `vector.tf` in the `eks-cluster-applications` Terraform module that wires the new `vector` internal-module into the layer-3 consumer.

## Context

- Working directory: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/iac-library/aws/compute/eks-cluster-applications`
- Sibling pattern: `otel_collector.tf` in the same directory (already exists). Read it for conventions: locals derivation, module call shape, REQUIRED/OPTIONAL section headers, `_enabled_cluster_types` map pattern, validation block pattern.
- `common.tf` defines `local.cluster_type` and providers.
- `application_deployment.tf` shows the `data "external" "validate"` pattern used to enforce cross-module dependencies.
- The new vector internal-module lives at `git@gitlab.infrastructure.immuta.io:infrastructure/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector.git` and will be tagged `v1.0.0` after Sir Charles handles the git work. For now, the source ref should be the eventual `?ref=v1.0.0` even though the tag doesn't exist yet — `terraform validate` won't try to fetch the module without `terraform init`, and we run `init -backend=false` separately.
- The `external_secrets` module's outputs (read `external_secrets.tf` if present in this directory) — find the output that exposes the ClusterSecretStore name. If the external-secrets module doesn't expose one, the integration may need to use `var.external_secrets_vault_secret_name` or another existing variable. Read carefully and document any uncertainty in your report.

- [ ] **Step 1: Read `otel_collector.tf`** in the same directory (`/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/iac-library/aws/compute/eks-cluster-applications/otel_collector.tf`) for conventions to mirror.

- [ ] **Step 2: Read `external_secrets.tf`** (or whatever file declares the external-secrets module call) — find the actual output that exposes the ClusterSecretStore name. If the output doesn't exist, the `module.external_secrets[0].cluster_secret_store_name` reference will fail validate. In that case, you have three options, in priority order:
   1. **Best:** Add the output to the external-secrets internal-module — but that's out of scope for this task. Instead, find an existing variable in `eks-cluster-applications` that holds the ClusterSecretStore name (try `var.external_secrets_vault_secret_name` from `application_deployment.tf` — see if it's the same thing).
   2. Use a hardcoded string in `vector.tf` as a placeholder with a `TODO: replace with module output` comment.
   3. Pass it as a new top-level variable to `eks-cluster-applications`, e.g., `var.vector_external_secrets_cluster_store_name`.

   Pick whatever lets `terraform validate` pass cleanly. Document your choice clearly in the report.

- [ ] **Step 3: Read `application_deployment.tf`** to confirm the `data "external" "vector_validate"` pattern matches the existing style (e.g., does it use `local.external_secrets_enabled` directly or some other expression?).

- [ ] **Step 4: Write `vector.tf`** based on the snippet above, with adjustments from steps 1-3.

- [ ] **Step 5: Run `terraform fmt -check -recursive`** at the eks-cluster-applications directory root. Exit 0 expected.

- [ ] **Step 6: Run `terraform init -backend=false`** then `terraform validate`. Use `mise exec terraform@1.9.0 -- terraform <cmd>` if needed.

   Expected: validate succeeds.

   If `terraform init` tries to fetch the (not-yet-tagged) v1.0.0 vector module and fails with "Module not found", that's expected — the tag doesn't exist remotely. In that case, **temporarily** point `source` at a relative file path: `source = "../../../../../internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector"`. Run init/validate. If they pass, **switch the source back to the gitlab v1.0.0 ref** before reporting DONE — the local-path version is just for verification.

   Document this in your report — Sir Charles needs to know whether to switch the source ref later.

- [ ] **Step 7: Self-review.**

## Constraints

- **DO NOT run any git commands.**
- **DO NOT** push, tag, open MRs.
- **DO NOT** run `terraform apply`. Only `init -backend=false` and `validate`.
- **DO NOT** modify any other files in `eks-cluster-applications/` than `vector.tf` itself in this task. (`otel_collector.tf` edit is C2's job.)

Implement Vector with Flux for data redaction


C1 done. Two pre-existing concerns surfaced:
- external-secrets internal-module has no outputs — worked around by adding a new top-level variable `vector_external_secrets_cluster_store_name` (with a `TODO` to fix the upstream module later).
- `terraform validate` against the dir hits a pre-existing `aws.super_certificate_zone` provider error unrelated to our changes.

Source ref restored to `v1.0.0` after temporary local-path validation. Moving to C2 (edit `otel_collector.tf`).

Implement Task C2: edit otel_collector.tf

Prompt:
You are implementing Task C2 of an implementation plan: edit the existing `otel_collector.tf` in `eks-cluster-applications` to bump the otel-collector internal-module's source ref from `v1.0.7` to `v1.1.0`, pass the new `downstream_endpoint` argument, and add a `depends_on = [module.vector]` to ensure ordering.

## Context

- Working directory: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/iac-library/aws/compute/eks-cluster-applications`
- File to modify: `otel_collector.tf` (already exists; lines 13–28 are the `module "otel_collector"` block per the spec).
- Sibling: `vector.tf` (created in C1) defines `local.vector_enabled` and `local.vector_endpoint` — both are referenced from this file.
- The new otel-collector v1.1.0 doesn't actually exist as a remote git tag yet — Sir Charles will tag it later. `terraform validate` after this edit will fail to fetch the tag, but the syntax check itself should still work because terraform validate doesn't fetch remote modules without `terraform init` running first.

## Task Description (verbatim from plan)

### Task C2: Edit `otel_collector.tf` — bump ref + pass downstream_endpoint

**Files:**
- Modify: `otel_collector.tf`

- [ ] **Step 1: Open `otel_collector.tf` and find the `module "otel_collector"` block.** Bump the source ref:

```diff
-  source = "git@gitlab.infrastructure.immuta.io:infrastructure/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/otel-collector.git?ref=v1.0.7"
+  source = "git@gitlab.infrastructure.immuta.io:infrastructure/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/otel-collector.git?ref=v1.1.0"
```

NOTE: The pre-flight inventory in B1 found that the latest existing tag in the local clone was `v1.0.5`, not `v1.0.7`. Read the file's actual current ref before editing — it might say `v1.0.5`, `v1.0.6`, `v1.0.7`, or something else. Bump whatever's currently there to `v1.1.0`.

- [ ] **Step 2: Add `downstream_endpoint` argument** to the same module block, gated on `local.vector_enabled`:

```hcl
  downstream_endpoint = local.vector_enabled ? local.vector_endpoint : ""
```

Place it among the other module arguments — match the file's existing style for argument grouping.

- [ ] **Step 3: Add `depends_on = [module.vector]`** so OTel reconciles after Vector. The existing block may already have a `depends_on` (or may not). If yes, append to it. If no, add it.

```hcl
  depends_on = [
    module.vector,
  ]
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Run `terraform fmt -check -recursive`** at the eks-cluster-applications root. Exit 0 expected.

- [ ] **Step 5: Run `terraform init -backend=false`** then `terraform validate`. Use `mise exec terraform@1.9.0 -- terraform <cmd>` if needed.

   **Expected outcome:** `init -backend=false` will fail to fetch the v1.1.0 ref because that tag doesn't exist remotely yet. That's expected and acceptable — there is no way to validate against a not-yet-tagged ref without temporarily switching to a local path. Two acceptable approaches:

   a) Temporarily switch the otel-collector ref to a local path (`source = "../../../../internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/otel-collector"`) for the duration of validation, run init/validate, then switch back to `v1.1.0` before reporting DONE.

   b) Skip the validate step entirely and just confirm `terraform fmt -check` passes plus eyeball the diff for syntactic correctness.

   Approach (a) is more rigorous — prefer it. Make sure to switch the source ref BACK to `v1.1.0` before exiting.

   Note: the existing `aws.super_certificate_zone` provider alias error in this directory (called out in C1) is pre-existing and acceptable — it doesn't indicate a regression.

## Constraints

- **DO NOT run any git commands.**
- **DO NOT** push, tag, open MRs.
- **DO NOT** run `terraform apply`.
- **DO NOT** modify any other files in this task — only `otel_collector.tf`.

The file is correct. Here's the full report, Sir Charles:

---

**Status: DONE**

**Original ref → new ref:** `v1.0.7` → `v1.1.0`

**Three changes made to `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/iac-library/aws/compute/eks-cluster-applications/otel_collector.tf`:**

1. **Ref bump:** `?ref=v1.0.7` → `?ref=v1.1.0`
2. **`downstream_endpoint` argument added** (line 28): `downstream_endpoint = local.vector_enabled ? local.vector_endpoint : ""`
3. **`depends_on` block added** (lines 30–32): `depends_on = [module.vector,]` — the existing block had no prior `depends_on`, so a fresh one was added.

**`terraform fmt` result:** `terraform fmt -check otel_collector.tf` exits 0 (clean). The recursive check flags `sysdig_agent.tf` with exit 3 — that's pre-existing, not introduced here.

**Validate approach:** Attempted approach (a). `init -backend=false` failed because `vector.tf`'s remote ref (`vector.git?ref=v1.0.0`) is also inaccessible from this environment (same SSH/permissions issue as the otel-collector tag). Modifying `vector.tf` is out of scope for C2, so fell back to approach (b): `terraform fmt -check` passes on `otel_collector.tf` plus eyeball review of the diff confirms syntactically valid HCL.

**Final source ref state:** `v1.1.0` — the local path swap was fully reverted. The file is in its permanent intended state.

**Self-review findings:** The `downstream_endpoint` argument alignment uses two spaces of padding to line up with the column-aligned block above it (`image_tag_version       =`). Terraform fmt confirmed this is acceptable. The `depends_on` placement (after the regular arguments, before closing brace) matches the pattern used in `vector.tf` itself. No regressions introduced.

- Working directory: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/iac-library/aws/compute/eks-cluster-applications`
- Existing `README.md` is 326 lines — established structure already in place. Read it first to understand the existing organization (e.g., how it documents the `otel_collector_*`, `fluxcd_*`, `application_deployment_*`, etc. surfaces). Match that style.
- New `vector.tf` file (created in C1) introduces 12 new variables:
  - `vector_chart_version` (required when enabled)
  - `vector_image_tag` (required when enabled)
  - `vector_datadog_site` (required when enabled)
  - `vector_datadog_api_key_vault_path` (required when enabled)
  - `vector_external_secrets_cluster_store_name` (required when enabled — name of the ClusterSecretStore created by external-secrets module)
  - `vector_enabled_cluster_types` (map; defaults: mgmt/cps/saas=true, infra/dev=false)
  - `vector_enabled` (bool, nullable; default null)
  - `vector_image` (default `registry.ic-ops.net/cache-docker-hub/timberio/vector`)
  - `vector_replicas` (number, default 3)
  - `vector_audit_drop_patterns` (list of strings, defaults to the two Immuta audit patterns)
  - `vector_email_redaction_enabled` (bool, default true)
  - `vector_email_redaction_replacement` (string, default `[REDACTED-EMAIL]`)
  - `vector_additional_config` (any, default null — escape hatch)
- The data flow when `vector_enabled = true`:
  - `apps → otel-lb → otel-collector → vector → Datadog`
  - Vector applies VRL transforms: drops audit log lines and redacts email addresses across logs/traces/metrics.
- When `vector_enabled = false` (or unset): `apps → otel-lb → otel-collector → Datadog` (unchanged).

## Task Description

### Task C4: README updates in eks-cluster-applications

**Files:**
- Modify: `terraform/iac-library/aws/compute/eks-cluster-applications/README.md`

- [ ] **Step 1: Read the existing `README.md`** thoroughly. Note where other modules' variables are documented and what the section structure looks like.

- [ ] **Step 2: Add a `vector_*` section** in the appropriate place — likely alongside other in-cluster components like `otel_collector_*`, `external_secrets_*`, etc. The section should:

   - Briefly describe what Vector does (in-cluster aggregator that receives OTLP from the otel-collector and applies VRL transforms before shipping to Datadog).
   - Note the data-flow change: when `vector_enabled = true`, the otel-collector's terminal exporter routes through Vector instead of direct-to-Datadog. The Datadog API key moves from the otel-collector's secret reference to the Vector module's ExternalSecret.
   - Tabulate the 12 new variables (or document them in the same style as the existing variables in the README — list, table, or paragraph).
   - Cross-link to `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-design.md` (the design spec, located at `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-design.md`).

- [ ] **Step 3: Add a brief note** somewhere that explains how to enable Vector for a particular cluster:

   ```hcl
   vector_enabled                            = true
   vector_chart_version                      = "0.36.0"
   vector_image_tag                          = "0.40.0-distroless-libc"
   vector_datadog_site                       = "datadoghq.com"
   vector_datadog_api_key_vault_path         = "secret/data/datadog/api-key"
   vector_external_secrets_cluster_store_name = "vault-cluster-store"
   ```

- [ ] **Step 4: If the existing README mentions otel_collector behavior in a way that's now changed** (e.g., "otel-collector exports directly to Datadog"), update that text to reflect the new dual-mode behavior (direct vs. via-Vector).

- [ ] **Step 5: Self-review.** Don't break existing structure or formatting; keep additions concise and aligned with the README's existing voice.

## Constraints

- **DO NOT run any git commands.**
- **DO NOT** push, tag, open MRs.
- **DO NOT** modify any other files in this task — only `README.md` in this directory.

## Spec / plan references

- Spec: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-design.md`
- Plan: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-pipeline.md` Task C4

## Report Format

- **Status:** DONE | DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | BLOCKED | NEEDS_CONTEXT
- Lines added (and any modified) to README
- Variables documented (count)
- Whether existing otel-collector copy needed updating (and how)
- Self-review findings


All 13 variables are present in the inputs table. Everything checks out.

---

**Status: DONE**

**Summary of changes to `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/iac-library/aws/compute/eks-cluster-applications/README.md`:**

- **Lines added:** 71 lines (file grew from 326 to 397 lines)
- **Lines modified:** 1 (otel_collector module version bump)

**Specific changes:**

1. **New narrative section** (`## Vector (telemetry redaction aggregator)`) prepended before `## Requirements` (lines 1–55). Covers:
   - What Vector does and a link to the design spec at `../../../../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-design.md`
   - Dual-mode data-flow diagrams (with-Vector vs. without-Vector)
   - Note about the otel-collector exporter swap and API key ownership move
   - How-to-enable HCL snippet with all 6 required variables
   - External-secrets dependency callout
   - Summary variable table (13 rows)

2. **Module table** (Modules section): Added `module_vector` row (`v1.0.0`) in alphabetical position after `module_vault_sidecar_injector`.

3. **Module table** (Modules section): Updated `module_otel_collector` version from `v1.0.7` to `v1.1.0`.

4. **Inputs table**: Added 13 `vector_*` input rows in alphabetical order between `vault_sidecar_injector_version` and `vpc_id`.

**Variables documented:** 13 (the task brief said 12, but `vector_external_secrets_cluster_store_name` is a 13th variable present in `vector.tf` — it's documented in both the narrative table and the Inputs table).

**Existing otel-collector copy updated:** Yes — the Modules table version was bumped from `v1.0.7` to `v1.1.0`. The narrative section also explains the behavioral change (exporter swap from `datadog` to `otlp`, API key ownership moving to Vector). The `v1.0.7` mention that remains in the prose is intentional context ("v1.0.7 and earlier are not compatible with this mode").

**Self-review findings:** Structure and formatting matches the existing terraform-docs style. No existing sections were disrupted. The narrative section follows the pattern of being placed before the auto-generated terraform-docs block (which is the only sensible place since the rest is pure table rows). The `vector_enabled_cluster_types` map default in the Inputs table uses `map(string)` to match `otel_collector_enabled_cluster_types` (the actual type in `vector.tf` is also `map(string)`). The `vector_email_redaction_replacement` default is quoted as `"[REDACTED-EMAIL]"` so the brackets don't break the Markdown table.

Updated task #34 status


Implement Task C5: final cross-phase self-review

Prompt:
You are doing the final cross-phase self-review for an implementation that touched three Terraform repos. Verify the implementation matches the design spec on a sample of high-leverage checks.

This task is **read-only** — no file modifications, no git operations, no terraform apply.

## Spec to verify against

`/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-design.md`

## Three repos to review

1. **`vector` internal-module** (NEW): `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector/`
2. **`otel-collector` internal-module** (BUMPED, intended v1.0.5 → v1.1.0): `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/otel-collector/`
3. **`eks-cluster-applications` consumer**: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/iac-library/aws/compute/eks-cluster-applications/`

## Verification checklist

For each item, do a focused check by reading the relevant file(s). Report PASS / FAIL per item with evidence (file path + line range or quoted snippet).

### Checklist

- [ ] **C5.1: Day-1 audit-drop rules match the source-of-truth `rules.json`.**
  - Source: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/kubernetes/applications/datadog-processing-rules/{prod,staging}/rules.json` — both contain the same two `exclude_at_match` patterns.
  - Verify: `vector/variables.tf` `audit_drop_patterns` default contains exactly those two patterns with the correct escaping for HCL.

- [ ] **C5.2: Email regex matches across all three signals.**
  - Verify: `vector/templates/values.yaml.tpl` has the regex `[\w._%+\-]+@[\w.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}` in all three `redact_emails_*` transforms.

- [ ] **C5.3: `email_redaction_replacement` default is `[REDACTED-EMAIL]`.**
  - Verify: `vector/variables.tf` default is exactly `"[REDACTED-EMAIL]"`.

- [ ] **C5.4: OTel module v1.1.0 is backwards-compatible.**
  - Verify: in `otel-collector/otelconfig.tf`, when `var.downstream_endpoint == ""`, the rendered `exporters` map is `{"datadog/exporter" = {...}}` (matching the v1.0.5 baseline behavior). The conditional logic uses `_exporters_direct_json` / `_exporters_downstream_json` ternary pattern.

- [ ] **C5.5: `vector.tf` mirrors `otel_collector.tf` style.**
  - Verify: in `eks-cluster-applications/vector.tf`, the `_enabled` derivation pattern matches `otel_collector.tf`'s pattern (`var.X_enabled != null ? var.X_enabled : lookup(var.X_enabled_cluster_types, local.cluster_type, true)`).
  - Verify: `vector_enabled_cluster_types` has the same default-true cluster types as `otel_collector_enabled_cluster_types`: `mgmt = true, cps = true, saas = true, infra = false, dev = false`.

- [ ] **C5.6: `otel_collector.tf` has `depends_on = [module.vector]`.**
  - Verify: `eks-cluster-applications/otel_collector.tf` has the depends_on block.

- [ ] **C5.7: Reloader annotation `reloader.stakater.com/auto: "true"` is on the Vector helm release.**
  - Verify: `vector/templates/values.yaml.tpl` has `reloader.stakater.com/auto: "true"` under `podAnnotations`.

- [ ] **C5.8: All 4 VRL tests still pass.**
  - Run them:
    ```bash
    cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector
    ./tests/vrl/drop_audit/run.sh
    ./tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/run.sh
    ./tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/run.sh
    ./tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/run.sh
    ```
  - All four must print their respective `VRL OK` line and exit 0.

- [ ] **C5.9: `terraform fmt -check -recursive` passes** in:
  - `vector` module root
  - `otel-collector` module root (note: there may be PRE-EXISTING fmt issues in `sysdig_agent.tf` or other files in eks-cluster-applications — only fail this check if WE introduced new fmt errors, not if pre-existing ones are reported)

- [ ] **C5.10: `terraform validate` passes** in:
  - `vector` module root
  - `vector/examples/basic/`
  - `otel-collector` module root
  - `otel-collector/examples/downstream/`

  Use `mise exec terraform@1.9.0 -- terraform <cmd>` if needed.

  Note: `eks-cluster-applications/` validate is expected to fail with the pre-existing `aws.super_certificate_zone` provider alias error AND with an "Module not found" error for the not-yet-tagged `vector v1.0.0` and `otel-collector v1.1.0` refs. Both are environmental, not defects. **Do NOT validate against `eks-cluster-applications/`** — only the two internal-modules.

## Report Format

For each of the 10 checklist items: PASS / FAIL with evidence (file path + line numbers, or quoted snippet, or test stdout).

Then a final summary:

- **Overall status:** APPROVED FOR HANDOFF | ISSUES_FOUND | BLOCKED
- **Items requiring Sir Charles's git-side action** to actually ship (e.g., what tags to push, what branches to rebase, etc.). Be specific.
- **Any concerns** that came up during review that aren't yet captured.

Length: be terse but include evidence. Aim 600-1000 words.


All checks are in. Here is the full verification report, Sir Charles of St Cheese.

## Cross-Phase Self-Review — Results

### C5.1 — Day-1 audit-drop rules match `rules.json`
**PASS**

Both `prod/rules.json` and `staging/rules.json` are identical and contain exactly two patterns:
- `"Audit\\s-\\s.+"` → HCL escaped as `"Audit\\s-\\s.+"`
- `"\"level\":\"audit\""` → HCL escaped as `"\"level\":\"audit\""`

`vector/variables.tf` lines 51–54 default for `audit_drop_patterns`:
```hcl
default = [
  "Audit\\s-\\s.+",
  "\"level\":\"audit\"",
]
```
Exact match on both patterns and escaping.

---

### C5.2 — Email regex present in all three `redact_emails_*` transforms
**PASS**

`vector/templates/values.yaml.tpl` lines 80, 97, and 121 each contain:
```
email_re = r'[\w._%+\-]+@[\w.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}'
```
All three transforms (`redact_emails_logs`, `redact_emails_traces`, `redact_emails_metrics`) carry the correct regex.

---

### C5.3 — `email_redaction_replacement` default
**PASS**

`vector/variables.tf` line 66:
```hcl
default = "[REDACTED-EMAIL]"
```
Exact match.

---

### C5.4 — OTel v1.1.0 backwards-compatible; ternary JSON pattern
**PASS**

`otel-collector/otelconfig.tf` uses the `_exporters_direct_json` / `_exporters_downstream_json` ternary pattern (lines 114–121). When `var.downstream_endpoint == ""`, `jsondecode` produces `{"datadog/exporter" = {...}}` — the full key name is `datadog/exporter` (not `datadog`), which is accurate to the actual OTel contrib exporter name used in this config. The spec's example used `datadog/exporter` in the baseline table. The conditional logic is correct and the empty-endpoint path preserves the pre-existing exporter block.

Minor note: the spec (§3.1) says "v1.0.7 → v1.1.0" as the bump range, but the `otel_collector.tf` consumer ref is `?ref=v1.1.0`. No defect — the tag name is what matters at ship time.

---

### C5.5 — `vector.tf` mirrors `otel_collector.tf` `_enabled` derivation; cluster-type defaults match
**PASS**

`vector.tf` lines 5–8:
```hcl
vector_enabled = (
  var.vector_enabled != null
  ? var.vector_enabled
  : lookup(var.vector_enabled_cluster_types, local.cluster_type, true)
)
```
Identical structural pattern to `otel_collector.tf` lines 5–8.

`vector_enabled_cluster_types` default (lines 114–120): `mgmt=true, cps=true, saas=true, infra=false, dev=false`. Matches `otel_collector_enabled_cluster_types` default exactly.

---

### C5.6 — `otel_collector.tf` has `depends_on = [module.vector]`
**PASS**

`eks-cluster-applications/otel_collector.tf` lines 30–32:
```hcl
depends_on = [
  module.vector,
]
```

---

### C5.7 — Reloader annotation on Vector helm release
**PASS**

`vector/templates/values.yaml.tpl` lines 3–4:
```yaml
podAnnotations:
  reloader.stakater.com/auto: "true"
```
Present at the top level of the values template before `service:`.

---

### C5.8 — All 4 VRL tests pass
**PASS**

All four tests ran and exited 0:
```
drop_audit VRL OK
redact_emails_logs VRL OK
redact_emails_traces VRL OK
redact_emails_metrics VRL OK
```

---

### C5.9 — `terraform fmt -check -recursive` passes
**PASS**

Both `vector` module root and `otel-collector` module root exited 0. No formatting issues introduced.

---

### C5.10 — `terraform validate` passes in all four targets
**PASS**

All four targets validated cleanly (exit 0):
- `vector` module root
- `vector/examples/basic/`
- `otel-collector` module root
- `otel-collector/examples/downstream/`

---

## Summary

**Overall status: APPROVED FOR HANDOFF**

**Items requiring Sir Charles's git-side action to ship:**

1. **Tag `internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector` as `v1.0.0`** — the consumer in `eks-cluster-applications/vector.tf` references `?ref=v1.0.0`. Until this tag exists on the remote, a `terraform init` in `eks-cluster-applications/` will fail to fetch the module.
2. **Tag `internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/otel-collector` as `v1.1.0`** — the consumer references `?ref=v1.1.0`. Same applies.
3. These two tags are the only unblocked external actions. No branch rebases needed based on what's visible here.

**Concerns worth noting (not blocking handoff):**

- `vector_enabled_cluster_types` is typed `map(string)` (line 113 of `vector.tf`) but its defaults are booleans (`true`/`false`). Terraform coerces these silently — it works, but the type is semantically wrong and matches the same pre-existing wart in `otel_collector_enabled_cluster_types`. Not a new defect introduced here.
- The `data "external" "vector_validate"` block (lines 47–51 of `vector.tf`) is a non-standard validation pattern — the `program` field is set to an error string rather than an actual executable. This will error at plan time if the count condition fires (i.e., if someone sets `vector_enabled = true` with `external_secrets_enabled = false`), which achieves the guard intent, but it's brittle. Worth replacing with a proper `lifecycle { precondition }` block in a follow-up, though it doesn't block v1 ship.
- The spec (§3.1) mentioned version bump from `v1.0.5 → v1.1.0`; the actual tag being cut is from whatever HEAD of `otel-collector` currently is. Confirm the git history on that repo doesn't have an un-tagged intermediate `v1.0.5` or `v1.0.7` ref that consumers elsewhere depend on before tagging `v1.1.0`.

- [ ] **C5.7: Reloader annotation `reloader.stakater.com/auto: "true"` is on the Vector helm release.**
  - Verify: `vector/templates/values.yaml.tpl` has `reloader.stakater.com/auto: "true"` under `podAnnotations`.

- [ ] **C5.8: All 4 VRL tests still pass.**
  - Run them:
    ```bash
    cd /Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector
    ./tests/vrl/drop_audit/run.sh
    ./tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/run.sh
    ./tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/run.sh
    ./tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/run.sh
    ```
  - All four must print their respective `VRL OK` line and exit 0.

- [ ] **C5.9: `terraform fmt -check -recursive` passes** in:
  - `vector` module root
  - `otel-collector` module root (note: there may be PRE-EXISTING fmt issues in `sysdig_agent.tf` or other files in eks-cluster-applications — only fail this check if WE introduced new fmt errors, not if pre-existing ones are reported)

- [ ] **C5.10: `terraform validate` passes** in:
  - `vector` module root
  - `vector/examples/basic/`
  - `otel-collector` module root
  - `otel-collector/examples/downstream/`

  Use `mise exec terraform@1.9.0 -- terraform <cmd>` if needed.

  Note: `eks-cluster-applications/` validate is expected to fail with the pre-existing `aws.super_certificate_zone` provider alias error AND with an "Module not found" error for the not-yet-tagged `vector v1.0.0` and `otel-collector v1.1.0` refs. Both are environmental, not defects. **Do NOT validate against `eks-cluster-applications/`** — only the two internal-modules.

## Report Format

For each of the 10 checklist items: PASS / FAIL with evidence (file path + line numbers, or quoted snippet, or test stdout).

Then a final summary:

- **Overall status:** APPROVED FOR HANDOFF | ISSUES_FOUND | BLOCKED
- **Items requiring Sir Charles's git-side action** to actually ship (e.g., what tags to push, what branches to rebase, etc.). Be specific.
- **Any concerns** that came up during review that aren't yet captured.

Length: be terse but include evidence. Aim 600-1000 words.


## Implementation complete, Sir Charles of St Cheese.

All 10 cross-phase verification checks passed. Final state:

### What's done locally (no git ops, no deployments)

**Repo 1 — new `vector` module** (`/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector`):
- 5 root files, `templates/values.yaml.tpl`, `examples/basic/`, 4 VRL unit tests (all passing), `.gitlab-ci.yml`, README
- `terraform fmt` clean, `terraform validate` clean at module root + example
- Pipeline implements: drop_audit filter → redact_emails on all 3 signals → Datadog sinks
- Conditional gates on `email_redaction_enabled` (verified both render paths)
- HA blocks (PDB, topology spread, anti-affinity), opt-in ServiceMonitor, reloader annotation

**Repo 2 — `otel-collector` v1.0.5 → v1.1.0 changes** (`/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/otel-collector`):
- New `downstream_endpoint` variable (single — `downstream_protocol` removed as you instructed)
- `otelconfig.tf` rewritten with conditional `_exporters_direct_json` / `_exporters_downstream_json` ternary; pipeline exporter lists swap based on the same flag
- `main.tf` gates the ExternalSecret with `count` and `extraEnvsFrom` with conditional list
- New `examples/downstream/`, new `README.md`
- Both ad-hoc plan cases verified: backwards-compat preserved (Case A byte-identical) and forward-path clean (Case B)

**Repo 3 — `eks-cluster-applications` consumer changes** (`/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/iac-library/aws/compute/eks-cluster-applications`):
- New `vector.tf` with 13 `vector_*` variables, `_enabled_cluster_types` matching OTel's defaults, validation block
- `otel_collector.tf` ref bumped to `v1.1.0`, `downstream_endpoint` arg added, `depends_on = [module.vector]` added
- `README.md` expanded with Vector section, dual-mode data flow diagram, all 13 new variables documented

### Things that need YOUR action to ship

1. **Tag the new `vector` internal-module as `v1.0.0`** on its remote (you'll create the GitLab repo first if needed — the local git repo is initialized).
2. **Tag the `otel-collector` internal-module as `v1.1.0`** — note the perf-tuning entanglement on the `otel-batch-size` branch we discussed; you'll decide whether to bundle or re-cut.
3. **Open MRs** for all three repos.
4. **Pre-existing items I can't fix in scope:**
   - `external-secrets` internal-module has no outputs — I worked around with a top-level variable `vector_external_secrets_cluster_store_name`. Long-term: add `cluster_secret_store_name` output to that module and replace the variable.
   - `aws.super_certificate_zone` provider alias error in `eks-cluster-applications` validate is pre-existing.
   - `data "external" "vector_validate"` pattern is brittle (mirrors the existing pattern in `application_deployment.tf`) — a follow-up could replace with `lifecycle { precondition }`.

### What's deferred (Task C3)

Real-cluster `terraform plan` smoke test against a chosen cluster instance dir — needs the v1.0.0/v1.1.0 tags to exist remotely first. Spec §7.4 covers the rollout sequence.


afplay ~/.claude/sounds/mario/stop/stomp.wav 2>/dev/null || true


Goal: ship Vector + OTel redaction pipeline across three Terraform repos. Status: implementation complete locally, all VRL tests pass, terraform validate clean. Next action: tag vector v1.0.0 and otel-collector v1.1.0, then open MRs. (disable recaps in /config)

# Vector + OpenTelemetry Redaction Pipeline

## Summary

Designed and implemented a Vector-based redaction layer that sits between the existing OTel Collector and Datadog on EKS clusters. The new pipeline replicates today's Datadog Agent `exclude_at_match` audit-log filtering and adds email redaction across logs, traces, and metrics. Spanned three repos: a brand-new `vector` Terraform internal-module, a backwards-compatible bump of the `otel-collector` internal-module (v1.0.5 → v1.1.0), and consumer wiring in `eks-cluster-applications`.

## Context

**Existing telemetry shape:** `apps → otel-lb → otel-collector → Datadog`. OTel Collector is terraform-managed (helm provider). Cluster types `mgmt`/`cps`/`saas` have it on by default; `infra`/`dev` off.

**Existing redaction (being superseded):** `kubernetes/applications/datadog-processing-rules/{prod,staging}/rules.json` — both files identical, two `exclude_at_match` patterns dropping Immuta audit log lines. Datadog Agent processing rules format. `apm.json` empty.

**Sibling app deployment patterns:** Flux-based (license-manager, crow, saas-tenant-manager) use a 4-file pattern: `kustomization.yaml`, `oci-repo-bootstrap.yaml`, `oci-repo-services.yaml`, `flux-kustomization.yaml`. OCI artifacts at `registry.ic-ops.net/internal-tooling/...`.

**Key architectural constraint discovered:** The `otel-collector` internal-module builds helm values **inline via `yamlencode()`** in `otelconfig.tf` and `lbconfig.tf` — NOT via `templatefile()`. This invalidated the plan's "wrap in `%{ if ~}` directive" approach for Phase B; had to use HCL conditionals + `jsonencode/jsondecode` ternary trick (Terraform 1.9+ structural type-checks ternary branches at parse time).

**OTel two-tier deployment:** otel-collector-lb (Deployment) load-balances OTLP to otel-collector-processor (StatefulSet). Only the processor tier exports to Datadog. The LB tier is unaffected by Phase B changes.

**`datadog/connector` for trace-to-metrics:** OTel processor pipeline uses Datadog's APM connector to derive metrics from spans. Kept as-is when swapping exporters — connector is a local computation, not a network call. APM-derived metrics now flow through Vector (datadog_metrics sink) instead of direct, may have subtle DD UI differences. Documented as known limitation.

## Decisions

**1. Terraform-deployed Vector, NOT Flux-deployed.**

User initially said "use Flux" but pushed back when I asked for the deployment medium tradeoffs. Honest comparison: OTel itself is in Terraform; Vector is plumbing not an application; iteration speed for VRL rules wasn't expected to be high enough to justify Flux ceremony; co-locating telemetry components in Terraform keeps the wire diagram in one place.

**Saved as feedback memory** (`feedback_platform_components_use_terraform.md`): for `eks-cluster-applications` plumbing, default to TF/helm provider; Flux is for applications.

**2. Vector behind OTel (Approach A), not in front.**

Pipeline: `apps → otel-lb → otel-collector → vector → Datadog`. Vector receives OTLP, runs VRL transforms, ships via native Datadog sinks. Apps unchanged. OTel terminal exporter swaps from `datadog/exporter` to `otlp` pointing at Vector Service.

**3. Approach (a) on the otel-collector tag dilemma.**

Latest tag in local clone is `v1.0.5`, not `v1.0.7` (spec was wrong). Branch `otel-batch-size` has untagged perf commits ahead of v1.0.5. Decision: base off v1.0.5 for clean diff. Phase B commits ended up on top of `otel-batch-size` regardless — Sir Charles will rebase/cherry-pick for the actual MR.

**4. Skip git operations in this session entirely.**

User runs git himself. Subagents wrote code, ran tests, but didn't `git add`/`git commit`/`git push`. Initial commit attempts hit GPG signing's TTY requirement; pivoted to user-handled-git for all 27 tasks.

**5. Skip Helm values snapshot tests.**

User opted out after seeing the snapshot infrastructure proposal in Task A4. VRL unit tests (functional verification of redaction logic) kept and run real. Template renders verified via ad-hoc `terraform apply -auto-approve` against tempdirs (pure-function `templatefile()` evaluation, no resources).

**6. Removed `downstream_protocol` variable as dead code.**

Phase B's reviewer caught that I declared the variable, wrote a validation block, documented in README and example, but never wired it into the OTLP exporter config. User chose option (a): remove entirely. Documented "HTTP transport is future work" in the `downstream_endpoint` description.

**7. Vector 0.55 VRL idiom adjustments.**

`.path ?? "fallback"` rejected with E651 (path access is infallible). Replaced with `if is_string(.path) { string!(.path) } else { "" }`. For `map_values` lambdas, type narrowing required: `attrs, _err = object(.attributes)` then `map_values(object!(attrs)) -> |v| { if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), ...) } else { v } }`.

## Task State

**Completed (all 27 plan tasks):**
- **Phase A** (vector module v1.0.0): A1–A15 done. Module fully implemented at `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector/`. 4 VRL tests pass. `terraform fmt`/`validate` clean at module root and `examples/basic/`.
- **Phase B** (otel-collector v1.1.0 bump): B1–B7 done at `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/otel-collector/`. Conditional exporter swap, `extraEnvsFrom` gate, ExternalSecret count gate. `examples/downstream/` validates. README created (module had none).
- **Phase C** (eks-cluster-applications consumer): C1–C5 done. `vector.tf` created with 13 vector_* variables. `otel_collector.tf` ref bumped to v1.1.0, `downstream_endpoint` arg, `depends_on = [module.vector]`. README expanded with Vector section, dual-mode data-flow diagram, full inputs table.

**Skipped (intentional):**
- A11: Three-pattern snapshot test (snapshot opt-out).
- B2: Lock baseline snapshot for direct-Datadog mode (snapshot opt-out — backwards-compat verified by ad-hoc plan render instead).
- C3: terraform plan smoke against real cluster instance — deferred. Requires v1.0.0/v1.1.0 tags pushed remotely + cluster auth.

**Memory written:**
- `feedback_platform_components_use_terraform.md` + `MEMORY.md` index in `/Users/steve.briggs/.claude/projects/-Users-steve-briggs-projects-IAC/memory/`.

**Local artifacts written but not committed (Sir Charles handles git):**
- `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-design.md` (8-section design spec)
- `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-pipeline.md` (27-task implementation plan)
- All three repo edits listed above

## Open Questions

1. **`v1.0.5` vs the entangled `otel-batch-size` branch.** Phase B commits sit on top of perf-tuning commits (`send_batch_max_size = 100 → 75`, `file_storage` extension rename). Decision: bundle perf changes into v1.1.0 release notes, OR re-cut Phase B onto a fresh branch off v1.0.5? Sir Charles to decide before tagging.

2. **`external-secrets` internal-module has no outputs.** Worked around in `vector.tf` with new top-level variable `vector_external_secrets_cluster_store_name`. Long-term fix: add `output "cluster_secret_store_name"` to the external-secrets internal-module, then replace the variable. TODO comment present in `vector.tf`.

3. **ESO `v1` vs `v1beta1` apiVersion** for the ExternalSecret resource in the Vector module. Sibling otel-collector uses `v1`. Adopted `v1` — assumes ESO ≥ 0.9 in the cluster. If older, needs revert to `v1beta1`.

4. **Datadog API key Vault path origin.** Spec called this out as an open implementation question — likely re-use whatever existing variable feeds the OTel module today. To confirm when wiring into actual cluster instance dirs.

5. **Whether `service_monitor_enabled` is the right shipping path** for Vector self-metrics, or whether Datadog Agent's OpenMetrics check / OTel collector annotation-based scraping fits better. Currently opt-in via TF variable, default false.

6. **`data "external" "vector_validate"` is brittle** (mirrors `application_deployment.tf`'s pattern). The `program` field is set to an error string, not an actual executable — fires at plan time when the count condition triggers. Achieves the guard, but a `lifecycle { precondition }` block would be cleaner. Follow-up improvement.

## Next Steps

**Immediate (Sir Charles, git side):**

1. Decide branch strategy for `otel-collector` v1.1.0 — bundle perf or re-cut.
2. Create the GitLab repo `internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector` if it doesn't exist; push the local repo content.
3. Tag `vector v1.0.0` and `otel-collector v1.1.0`.
4. Open three MRs (vector new repo, otel-collector bump, eks-cluster-applications consumer).

**Once tags are remote:**

5. Run the deferred Task C3 — `terraform plan` against a chosen low-stakes cluster instance dir (e.g. a `dev`-type cluster). Confirm plan shows the new Vector resources and the otel-collector helm release re-render with OTLP exporter.

**Operational rollout (per spec §7.4):**

6. Sandbox/`dev` cluster integration test (full VRL path verification with audit-drop and email-redact UUID smoke tests).
7. One `mgmt` cluster soak (3-7 days, watch `vector_component_errors_total`, queue depth, Datadog ingestion deltas).
8. Remaining `mgmt` + all `cps` clusters.
9. `saas` clusters region-by-region.

**Operational follow-ups (post-rollout, not blocking ship):**

10. Wire Datadog monitors for the alert table in spec §6.3.
11. Author runbook for: Vector pod debug, queue-full triage, key rotation, rollback to direct-Datadog.
12. After Vector clean in prod for one quarter, decommission `kubernetes/applications/datadog-processing-rules/`.
13. Add `output "cluster_secret_store_name"` to external-secrets internal-module and replace the workaround variable.

**Plan-level future work (post-v1):**

14. Expand redaction patterns: SSN, credit cards, tokens, JWT, phone numbers — each as opt-in flag.
15. Field/attribute name allow-deny lists (`vector_drop_attributes`).
16. Service-level allow/deny via `route` transform on `service.name`.
17. Persistent `file_storage` queue on OTel if data-loss budget proves insufficient.
18. Runtime-driven rule sources if redaction surface keeps growing.

That's the helm provider v2-vs-v3 syntax difference biting back. The implementer who wrote `main.tf` had v3.1.1 resolved in their local env (where `set = [{...}]` list syntax is required) — but your `eks-cluster-applications` consumer is pulling helm provider v2.x, which uses the older `set { name = ..., value = ... }` block syntax. The two are mutually exclusive across major versions.

Fix is to revert to v2 block syntax in the vector module's `main.tf` since the consumer dictates the actual resolved version. Let me also tighten the `versions.tf` constraint to `~> 2.10` so this can't drift back to v3 silently.

Look for remaining v3-style helm syntax in our changes


---
/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector/versions.tf:5:    kubernetes = {
/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector/examples/basic/versions.tf:4:    kubernetes = { source = "hashicorp/kubernetes", version = ">= 2.20" }


Two changes applied:

1. **`vector/main.tf` lines 84–93**: reverted from `set = [{...}]` (helm v3 list) to `set { name = ..., value = ... }` (helm v2 block) — fixes the exact error you're seeing.
2. **`vector/examples/basic/versions.tf` line 14**: also fixed `kubernetes = { ... }` → `kubernetes { ... }` (block, no equals) for the same v2/v3 reason — would've bitten you when you `terraform validate` the example.

Grep confirms no other `set = [` instances anywhere in the three affected repos. Re-run `terraform init && terraform plan` from your `eks-cluster-applications` consumer (or wherever you hit this) and it should clear.

**Root cause for your records:** The implementer subagent for Task A12 had helm provider v3.1.1 resolved in its sandbox env (no lockfile, `>= 2.10` constraint allows v3), wrote v3 syntax. Your consumer pins helm to v2.x, which uses the older block form. The `>= 2.10` constraint in `vector/versions.tf` is intentionally loose — bumping it to a tighter pin (`~> 2.10`) would prevent this drift but at the cost of blocking future v3 callers. Up to you whether to tighten or leave loose; the syntax fix above is correct for v2 either way.


We built a Vector redaction layer between OTel and Datadog across three repos; just fixed a helm v2/v3 `set` syntax error in vector/main.tf. Next: re-run terraform init and plan from your eks-cluster-applications consumer to confirm it clears.

That's a VRL compile warning (not error — your pipeline still runs). Vector's saying the `object!(attrs)` wrapper is unnecessary because after the `is_object(attrs)` guard, `attrs` is already narrowed to an object type. The `!` adds an abort path that can never fire.

Same pattern is in all three `redact_emails_*` transforms. Fixing the template.
