## What Was Implemented

Task 1 of a 6-task Kustomize deployment for `churn-renewal-forecast` (Next.js + Prisma + pg-boss). Created bootstrap resources: Namespace, ServiceAccount, ExternalSecret (external-secrets.io), ConfigMap source, and bootstrap kustomization.yaml.

## Requirements / Plan

Create exactly:
- `namespace.yaml` — Namespace `churn-renewal-forecast` with `app.kubernetes.io/name` label
- `serviceaccount.yaml` — ServiceAccount in the namespace with matching label
- `secret.yaml` — ExternalSecret from ClusterSecretStore `vault` at `/internal/churn-renewal-forecast` with 6 keys (DATABASE_URL, CLERK_SECRET_KEY, FRONT_API_TOKEN, FRONT_API_TOKEN_2, PRODUCTBOARD_API_KEY, SLACK_BOT_TOKEN), refreshInterval 1h, creationPolicy Owner
- `app-config.env` — 11 non-sensitive env vars as a ConfigMap source
- `kustomization.yaml` — wires resources + configMapGenerator with disableNameSuffixHash: true

## Git Range to Review

**Base:** ec7464986cbabb1a3bbe05d0d8033b8d43e6e2c7
**Head:** 9a27b793130bf7b9c46a68632ff0e8bb0d8d37c2

```bash
git diff --stat ec7464986cbabb1a3bbe05d0d8033b8d43e6e2c7..9a27b793130bf7b9c46a68632ff0e8bb0d8d37c2
git diff ec7464986cbabb1a3bbe05d0d8033b8d43e6e2c7..9a27b793130bf7b9c46a68632ff0e8bb0d8d37c2
```

## Additional Checks

- Does each file have one clear responsibility?
- Are Kubernetes/Kustomize best practices followed?
- Is the ExternalSecret structure correct for external-secrets.io v1beta1?
- Are labels consistent and correct?
- Is there anything that would cause issues in a real cluster?

Automated behaviors ("from now on when X", "each time X", "whenever X", "before/after X") require hooks configured in settings.json - the harness executes these, not Claude, so memory/preferences cannot fulfill them. Also use for: permissions ("allow X", "add permission", "move permission to"), env vars ("set X=Y"), hook troubleshooting, or any changes to settings.json/settings.local.json files.

- fewer-permission-prompts: Scan your transcripts for common read-only Bash and MCP tool calls, then add a prioritized allowlist to project .claude/settings.json to reduce permission prompts.
- loop: Run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. /loop 5m /foo). Omit the interval to let the model self-pace. - When the user wants to set up a recurring task, poll for status, or run something repeatedly on an interval (e.g. "check the deploy every 5 minutes", "keep running /babysit-prs"). Do NOT invoke for one-off tasks.
- schedule: Create, update, list, or run scheduled remote agents (routines) that execute on a cron schedule. - When the user wants to schedule a recurring remote agent, set up automated tasks, create a cron job for Claude Code, or manage their scheduled agents/routines. Also use when the user wants a one-time scheduled run ("run this once at 3pm", "remind me to check X tomorrow").
- claude-api: Build, debug, and optimize Claude API / Anthropic SDK apps. Apps built with this skill should include prompt caching. Also handles migrating existing Claude API code between Claude model versions (4.5 → 4.6, 4.6 → 4.7, retired-model replacements).
TRIGGER when: code imports `anthropic`/`@anthropic-ai/sdk`; user asks for the Claude API, Anthropic SDK, or Managed Agents; user adds/modifies/tunes a Claude feature (caching, thinking, compaction, tool use, batch, files, citations, memory) or model (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku) in a file; questions about prompt caching / cache hit rate in an Anthropic SDK project.

Good - I have everything I need. Let me now do the full review.

---

Yo Sir Charles of St Cheese, your boy Claudebob Squarepants has reviewed these bootstrap resources, fr fr. Here's the full breakdown, no cap:

---

### Strengths

- **File responsibilities are clean.** One resource per file, each with a single clear concern. Bussin' structure, lowkey.
- **Label consistency is solid.** `app.kubernetes.io/name: churn-renewal-forecast` is applied uniformly across Namespace, ServiceAccount, and ExternalSecret. No drift.
- **ExternalSecret structure is correct** for external-secrets.io v1beta1. `secretStoreRef.kind: ClusterSecretStore`, `creationPolicy: Owner`, `refreshInterval: 1h`, and the `data[].remoteRef` shape with separate `key` + `property` fields are all proper.
- **All 6 secrets are present** as required: `DATABASE_URL`, `CLERK_SECRET_KEY`, `FRONT_API_TOKEN`, `FRONT_API_TOKEN_2`, `PRODUCTBOARD_API_KEY`, `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN`.
- **All 11 env vars are present** in `app-config.env`.
- **`disableNameSuffixHash: true`** is correctly scoped under `generatorOptions` — downstream consumers can reference the ConfigMap by its stable name without worrying about hash suffixes.
- **`automountServiceAccountToken`** is not explicitly set, which is fine for now (defaults to true, but not a problem until workload manifests exist).

---

### Issues

#### Critical (Must Fix)

**1. `NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_PRODUCTBOARD_WORKSPACE` are committed as `PLACEHOLDER` in a base ConfigMap.**

`app-config.env` lines 2–3:
```
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=PLACEHOLDER
NEXT_PUBLIC_PRODUCTBOARD_WORKSPACE=PLACEHOLDER
```

These are `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` values — they are baked into the Next.js client bundle at build time. A base ConfigMap with `PLACEHOLDER` values will silently produce a broken client build if any overlay forgets to patch them, and there is nothing in `kustomization.yaml` enforcing an overlay must override them. The `PLACEHOLDER` string will literally appear in the JS bundle.

**Fix options (pick one):**
- Move these two keys out of `app-config.env` entirely and into the ExternalSecret (they are not truly sensitive, but they are environment-specific). This is the cleaner approach.
- Or leave them in `app-config.env` but leave the values **empty** (`NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=`) and add a comment header in the file noting these must be patched per-overlay. An empty value at least fails loudly at Clerk init rather than silently sending `"PLACEHOLDER"` to Clerk's API.

Either way, `PLACEHOLDER` as a committed value in a base that will be applied to a real cluster is a trap.

---

**2. `SLACK_TEST_CHANNEL` is an empty string committed to the base ConfigMap.**

`app-config.env` line 4:
```
SLACK_TEST_CHANNEL=
```

An empty-string env var in a ConfigMap is valid YAML/Kustomize, but it signals this key belongs to a test/dev environment, not a production base. If this var is consumed by the Slack worker, an empty value at runtime likely means the worker silently skips sending or crashes depending on how the code handles it. This shouldn't live in `base/` — it's environment-specific config.

**Fix:** Move it to an overlay-specific `app-config.env` patch, or remove it from base and only define it in dev/test overlays.

---

#### Important (Should Fix)

**3. The Namespace resource is wired into a bootstrap-level `kustomization.yaml` that presumably gets applied by a higher-level overlay or ArgoCD app. The ServiceAccount hardcodes `namespace: churn-renewal-forecast` rather than relying on Kustomize namespace injection.**

This is not broken today, but it creates a constraint: if this base ever gets targeted at a different namespace (e.g., a staging overlay using `namespace: churn-renewal-forecast-staging`), Kustomize's `namespace:` transformer in the overlay will rewrite the ServiceAccount's namespace field correctly — but the hardcoded `namespace:` in the manifest will be the source of truth before transformation. For a true base, prefer **omitting** `namespace:` from resources and letting Kustomize's namespace field in each overlay set it. The Namespace resource itself is fine without a namespace (Namespaces are cluster-scoped), but all namespaced resources (ServiceAccount, ExternalSecret) should ideally not hardcode it in a `base/`.

If this deploy tree will only ever target one namespace and never be reused, this is lower severity — but it's an antipattern for a `base/` layer.

**Fix:** Remove `namespace:` from `serviceaccount.yaml` and `secret.yaml`. Add a `namespace: churn-renewal-forecast` field to `kustomization.yaml` so Kustomize injects it during apply. This is the idiomatic Kustomize approach.

---

**4. `generatorOptions.disableNameSuffixHash: true` is set globally, not scoped to the single ConfigMap.**

In `kustomization.yaml`:
```yaml
generatorOptions:
  disableNameSuffixHash: true
```

This is a file-level setting — it applies to every generator in this kustomization, including any generators added in future tasks (e.g., a Secret generator). If a future task adds a generator where the hash suffix is desirable (for cache-busting), this global setting will silently suppress it. The intent is clearly to disable the hash for `churn-renewal-forecast-config` specifically.

**Fix:** Kustomize v4.5+ supports per-generator options via the `options` field directly on each `configMapGenerator` entry:
```yaml
configMapGenerator:
  - name: churn-renewal-forecast-config
    envs:
      - app-config.env
    options:
      disableNameSuffixHash: true
```

Remove the top-level `generatorOptions` block. This scopes the intent correctly and is more resilient to future additions.

---

#### Minor (Nice to Have)

**5. Missing `app.kubernetes.io/part-of` and `app.kubernetes.io/managed-by` recommended labels.**

The Kubernetes well-known labels recommendation (k8s.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/common-labels/) suggests at minimum:
```yaml
app.kubernetes.io/name: churn-renewal-forecast
app.kubernetes.io/part-of: churn-renewal-forecast
app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: kustomize
```

Not required, but these improve observability in dashboards like Lens, k9s, and ArgoCD. Low-key worth adding to the Kustomize `commonLabels` block rather than per-file.

---

**6. No `newTag` or `commonAnnotations` for tracking the deploy revision.**

Since this is ArgoCD/GitOps territory (implied by the `base/` structure), adding a `commonAnnotations` block with something like:
```yaml
app.kubernetes.io/version: "0.0.1"
```
...at the kustomization level would give ArgoCD something to diff against when inspecting live vs. desired state. Truly minor, but it's a good habit in a base.

---

**7. No trailing newline validation concern — files look clean.**

All files have proper trailing newlines. Non-issue, just confirming.

---

**8. The ExternalSecret `target.name` matches the ExternalSecret `metadata.name`.**

This is valid and common, but worth documenting: the generated Kubernetes `Secret` will be named `churn-renewal-forecast`. If a future task creates a `Secret` resource manually with the same name in the same namespace, ESO will error due to ownership conflict. Keep this in mind for Task 2+.

---

### Assessment

**Ready to merge?** No — with fixes required on items 1 and 2.

**Reasoning:** The `PLACEHOLDER` values committed to the base ConfigMap (item 1) and the `SLACK_TEST_CHANNEL=` empty value (item 2) are traps that will either produce a silently broken client build or bleed dev-only config into all environments. Items 3 and 4 are valid Kustomize antipatterns that will cause friction in future tasks — fix them now while the base is small, before overlays build on top of them. The structural foundation (ExternalSecret shape, label consistency, file separation) is solid and hits different, ngl.
