* fix(sandbox): accept local connections natively on loopback-confined sockets

On kernels without SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV (RHEL 9 / RHCOS
5.14), the broker cannot safely write an accepted peer address into
workload memory, so accept/accept4 with a peer-address buffer failed with
EOPNOTSUPP. Static binaries and Go servers, which issue the raw syscall,
could not accept connections at all.

Move local acceptance into the kernel and replace per-accept inspection
with standing kernel confinement:

- Bind every broker-created TCP/UDP socket to the loopback device before
  injection and verify the binding. Accepted sockets inherit it, so they
  can neither receive routed ingress nor emit routed egress.
- Stop notifying accept/accept4 and remove the accept workers, the
  SIGUSR2 accept-interrupt monitor, and the 64-accept ceiling.
- Continue getpeername natively for every descriptor except relayed
  connections.
- Deny interface-selection socket options and MSG_FASTOPEN sends from
  scalar syscall arguments, so confinement does not depend on the
  capability state of the user namespace that owns the network namespace
  and covers unregistered descriptors.
- Drop loopback-interface ingress on the non-loopback TCP control
  listener before it listens, so a workload cannot reach it by
  reconnecting a natively accepted socket.
- Mark descriptors above stdio close-on-exec in every workload pre_exec
  path.
- Require an active confinement probe at qualification and carry it as
  required authenticated audit evidence.

Document OpenShift 4.19 as the minimum release: RHCOS kernels for 4.16
through 4.18 are built without Landlock.

Closes #4058

* fix(sandbox): close review gaps in native local accept confinement

- Reject a TCP boundary control listener on a loopback address,
  including IPv4-mapped loopback. Production drivers bind the
  unspecified address; a loopback listener would be reachable from
  workload sockets the broker does not track.
- Extend the confinement probe to IPv6 and prove that an accepted
  socket keeps its loopback binding after an AF_UNSPEC disconnect.
- Pin the accepted-peer contract with tests: a loopback-bound listener
  admits only clients in the sandbox network namespace, and workload
  sockets cannot bind a non-loopback source address.
- Correct the support matrix: accepted connections are bounded by
  per-process descriptor limits, the runtime PID limit, and the sandbox
  memory limit, not by a broker limit.

* refactor(sandbox): replace unsafe socket calls with socket2 and rustix

Socket confinement now uses socket2 for device binding and the ingress
filter, and rustix for interface lookup and AF_UNSPEC disconnect, so the
module contains no unsafe code. The control-listener filter is no longer
locked: no safe API exposes SO_LOCK_FILTER, and the listener descriptor
never leaves the trusted sandbox process, which marks every descriptor
above stdio close-on-exec before running workload code.

Tests added for native accept use rustix and socket2 instead of raw libc
calls. rustix issues accept4 and getpeername as raw syscalls, so the
direct-syscall test keeps its meaning. The close-on-exec sweep test runs
in a re-executed test process instead of a forked child.

The close_range(CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC) syscall in the pre_exec hook remains
the only unsafe added by this branch; neither rustix nor nix wraps it.

* fix(sandbox): allowlist workload socket families

The workload seccomp filter denied only AF_PACKET, AF_BLUETOOTH, and
AF_VSOCK, and the broker continued socket() for every non-INET family.
Several protocol families, including AF_RXRPC, AF_SMC, and AF_KCM, carry
traffic over kernel-owned sockets that the broker never creates and that
are not bound to loopback.

Allow only AF_UNIX, AF_NETLINK (still limited to NETLINK_ROUTE), and the
brokered AF_INET/AF_INET6 families, and restrict socketpair(2) to
AF_UNIX. Both decisions use the scalar domain argument. The broker
independently refuses non-INET families other than AF_UNIX and
AF_NETLINK with EAFNOSUPPORT.

* refactor(sandbox): remove legacy read-only mode

After native local accept, only two broker paths still wrote into
workload memory: getpeername on relayed connections and the per-message
lengths of a first sendmmsg to the DNS relay. Legacy mode existed only to
refuse those writes on kernels without WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV, and the
getpeername refusal broke CPython TLS on RHEL 9.

The broker now never writes workload memory:
- getpeername is no longer mediated and reports the kernel peer on every
  kernel; relayed connections report the loopback relay address.
- A first send to the DNS relay pins the broker's socket copy to the
  relay and continues the syscall, so the kernel performs the send and
  writes any per-message results.

Remove the listener mode, the task-memory write path and probe, and the
task_memory_write, cancellation, and task_memory_writes_disabled audit
evidence fields. WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV is still used when available and is
reported for diagnostics, but no mediation decision depends on it.

* refactor(sandbox): drop WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV and make handlers restart-safe

The broker no longer writes workload memory, so killable notification
waits only reduced how often a signal restarts a notified syscall. RHEL 9
kernels never had them, so the handlers must tolerate restarts anyway.
Install the listener without the flag on every kernel instead of
special-casing newer ones.

Handlers now check that the notification is still live immediately
before each side effect (bind, connect of the retained socket, listen,
and the first DNS send), and answer a restarted operation the broker
already completed as the kernel would: a repeated TCP connect returns
EISCONN, repeating the same UDP association succeeds, a repeat of a
completed bind succeeds, and a failed relay reports its errno.

* fix(sandbox): finish teardown only when every workload descendant has exited

Teardown waited only for registered process groups to disappear. A root
is unregistered once reaped, so a descendant that ignored SIGTERM could
outlive it while termination reported success and never sent SIGKILL,
violating the bounded-termination requirement.

The sandbox now becomes a child subreaper when it is not PID 1, so
orphaned descendants stay in its tree and are reaped. Termination waits
until no live descendant remains, and every scanned process is signalled
through a pidfd after confirming its start time, so a reused PID is never
signalled.

* fix(sandbox): keep a frozen workload from resuming itself

Freezing stops every workload process with SIGSTOP. tgkill and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo were not mediated, and mediated kill, rt_sigqueueinfo,
and tkill passed SIGCONT through, so a workload process that was not yet
stopped could resume the others while the supervisor recovered.

Mediate tgkill and rt_tgsigqueueinfo like tkill: refuse targets in the
sandbox thread group, report a thread outside the named group as
missing, and continue otherwise. The boundary marks the broker frozen
before stopping the workload and clears it after resuming; while frozen,
workload requests to send SIGCONT fail with EPERM.

* fix(sandbox): send mediated DNS datagrams from the broker socket

The native UDP send path re-ran the workload's own sendmsg, so
per-message ancillary data such as IP_PKTINFO rode along; only the
loopback destination contained a routing override.

The broker now reads the datagram and sends it from its retained,
relay-connected socket, which it builds without ancillary data, so a
per-message override cannot redirect the packet. It writes nothing back
into workload memory. A send carrying control data is refused with
EOPNOTSUPP rather than silently stripped.

* fix(sandbox): keep sandbox control variables out of the workload environment

The canonical process inherits the sandbox environment so the image's
own ENV reaches the workload, then removed only a denylist of credential
variables. Other variables in the reserved OPENSHELL_ namespace, such as
the serialized user environment and the log level, still reached the
workload.

Remove every inherited OPENSHELL_ variable before applying the declared
environment, and restore OPENSHELL_SANDBOX=1. The image's ordinary ENV
and declared variables are unaffected; declared variables cannot use the
reserved namespace.

* fix(sandbox): keep /proc read-only for GPU workloads

GPU mode granted read-write access to all of /proc so CUDA's cuInit could
write thread names to /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/comm.

Keep /proc read-only. Open mediation now serves a writable open of the
caller's own thread comm file: the broker opens it and injects the
descriptor, with no syscall continued. The kernel accepts a comm write
only from the target's own thread group, so a substituted path or reused
thread ID cannot rename another process's thread. Any other /proc write
is left to Landlock, which denies it.

* fix(sandbox): keep the broker socket for connected UDP DNS sockets

Sending DNS datagrams from the broker's socket required the broker to
keep its copy, but the connect paths to the relay and to loopback still
released it. glibc connects the resolver socket and then sends A and
AAAA together with sendmmsg, which is mediated, so resolution failed.

Release the copy on those connect paths only for TCP. Add a regression
test for connect followed by sendmmsg that fails fast rather than
hanging.

* fix(sandbox): keep slow loopback connects from stalling mediation

The loopback connect path held the registry lock while polling a TCP
connect for up to five seconds on the single notification dispatcher.
A workload connecting to a busy local listener stalled every other
mediated syscall, including opens and signals.

Connect a duplicate of the retained socket without holding the lock. A
nonblocking socket gets the native EINPROGRESS and the kernel completes
the handshake on the shared socket; a blocking socket waits on a bounded
worker thread.

* fix(sandbox): contain network broker handler panics

A panic in a notification handler unwound the single broker thread while
the health flag still read healthy, so every later blocked workload
syscall hung until the sandbox was killed.

Run each dispatch under catch_unwind: a panicking handler fails only that
syscall with EIO and the broker keeps mediating. If the broker thread
ever exits, mark it unhealthy so dependent operations fail closed instead
of blocking.

* fix(sandbox): reject ancillary data on DNS sends instead of broker-sending

Sending mediated DNS datagrams from the broker's own socket required
keeping a broker handle for each DNS socket's whole life, which regressed
real name resolution through reclaim and resource accounting that the
mock-based unit tests did not exercise.

Revert to continuing the kernel send, but refuse a send that carries
ancillary control data (msg_controllen != 0) at read time, so a
per-message routing override such as IP_PKTINFO cannot ride a mediated
DNS send. A loopback destination contains an override that races the
check. Full broker-side UDP mediation is left to a separate change with
deployment e2e.

* fix(sandbox): address review findings across the hardening changes

Fixes:
- The blocking local-connect worker no longer toggles O_NONBLOCK on the
  open file it shares with the workload; it waits with a plain connect.
- tgkill and rt_tgsigqueueinfo are notified only when they send SIGCONT,
  so ordinary thread signals such as Go preemption stay in the kernel.
  The frozen flag is re-read immediately before delivery.
- A shell redirect to the caller's own thread comm file works again;
  O_CREAT and O_TRUNC are no-ops there and O_EXCL returns EEXIST.
- The teardown scan is a linear walk and fails closed when /proc cannot
  be read.

Simplifications:
- Remove tests that need infrastructure outside the repo or prove
  nothing: the topology harness tests, the static-server benchmark, the
  direct-syscall accept test, the comm rename test without Landlock, a
  serde-default test, and the test-only panic hook in setsockopt.
- Drop the unused Failed connect outcome, the redundant read-back after
  binding to loopback, redundant OPENSHELL_SANDBOX settings, and stale or
  duplicated comments; reuse the reserved environment prefix constant.
- Tighten the support matrix and OpenShift wording.

* fix(cli): wait for input when piped exec stdin is nonblocking

Processes that inherit the same stdin share one open file description,
so any of them can make it nonblocking for all. `sandbox exec` then read
no input yet, got EAGAIN, and failed with "Resource temporarily
unavailable (os error 11)". Parallel e2e tests inherit the runner's
stdin, which made credential_gating fail intermittently.

The stdin reader now blocks in poll() until input or end of file arrives
instead of treating EAGAIN as fatal, and it leaves the shared descriptor's
flags alone. The e2e exec helper also stops inheriting the runner's
stdin, since its commands take no input.

Akram Ben Aissi 293fab75d4 fix(sandbox): support kernels < 5.19 via seccomp WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV fallback (#3420)
* fix(sandbox): fall back to plain seccomp listener when WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV is unavailable

SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV was added in Linux 5.19. On older
kernels (for example RHEL 9.x / 5.14 nodes such as RHCOS on OpenShift) the
flag is rejected with EINVAL, which made the capability-free sandbox fail to
start during the notification probe with "notification launcher disappeared".

Install the notification listener with WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV when the kernel
supports it and fall back to a plain NEW_LISTENER on EINVAL. The fallback
listener records wait_killable_recv = false: its notification receive is
uninterruptible, but the sandbox is otherwise fully functional.

* fix(sandbox): address review — legacy read-only listener mode + cancellation invariant

Follow-up to the PR review (GATOR-de00bfcc-01 / mrunalp): make the < 5.19
fallback cancellation-safe instead of racing broker writes.

- Record an explicit ListenerMode (Killable vs LegacyReadOnly); add
  writes_disabled()/mode() and emit the selected mode in qualification output
  (seccomp_listener_mode).
- Centralize task-memory output writes behind NotificationListener::
  write_task_output; in LegacyReadOnly mode getpeername, accept/accept4 with a
  non-null address, and sendmmsg length write-backs fail closed with EOPNOTSUPP.
  accept with a null address, socket/connect/bind/listen/sendto/sendmsg keep
  working (copied inputs, scalar responses, atomic ADDFD_SEND).
- Enforce the launch invariant `cancellation || task_memory_writes_disabled` in
  SandboxConfirmEvidence::validate() rather than dropping cancellation
  unconditionally; add task_memory_writes_disabled to SeccompEvidence.
- Add per-path fail-closed tests (write_task_output, write_socket_addr, a real
  plain listener installed on a modern kernel) and confirmation-invariant tests.
- Correct the flag-semantics comments and document both modes plus the reduced
  legacy syscall compatibility in architecture/sandbox.md.

Kernels without SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV (< 5.19, e.g. RHEL 9.x /
RHCOS 5.14) run the sandbox in a legacy read-only cancellation mode where the
broker fails closed with EOPNOTSUPP on the mediated operations that write results
back into workload memory (getpeername, accept/accept4 with a non-null address,
sendmmsg length write-backs). Document this observable behavior and its syscall
limitations in the public Fern docs: the support-matrix kernel requirements and

Brandon Squizzato cc780d4e17 feat(helm): add BackendTLSPolicy support (#2728)
* feat(helm): add optional BackendTLSPolicy for e2e TLS

Add grpcRoute.backendTLSPolicy values to optionally create a
BackendTLSPolicy resource that enables end-to-end TLS between the
Gateway proxy and the OpenShell gateway pod. The Gateway proxy
terminates client-facing TLS and re-encrypts when connecting to the
backend, validating the pod's certificate against a user-supplied CA
ConfigMap.

This removes the requirement to set server.disableTls=true when using
HTTPS at the Gateway listener. Supported on OpenShift 4.22+ and other
platforms with BackendTLSPolicy support in the Gateway API
implementation.

Update OpenShift and ingress documentation with e2e TLS instructions.

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizza@redhat.com>

* feat(helm,server): auto-create backend CA ConfigMap in certgen hook

Extend the generate-certs command with --backend-ca-configmap-name and
--backend-ca-source-secret flags. When BackendTLSPolicy is enabled, the
certgen pre-install hook creates the CA ConfigMap automatically:

- pkiInitJob mode (default): uses the CA from the generated PKI bundle.
  Fully automatic on first install.
- cert-manager mode: reads ca.crt from the server TLS Secret. On first
  install the Secret does not exist yet (cert-manager reconciles after
  templates are applied), so the ConfigMap is created on the first helm
  upgrade. Logs a warning on the initial skip.

The caCertificateConfigMapName value now defaults to <fullname>-backend-ca
when empty, so users only need to set backendTLSPolicy.enabled=true.

Update certgen RBAC to include configmaps get/create when the feature is
enabled. Add CLI arg parsing tests for the new flags.

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizza@redhat.com>

* refactor(helm): add server.tls.enableMtls flag for mTLS control

Replace automatic mTLS disabling based on BackendTLSPolicy with an
explicit server.tls.enableMtls flag that defaults to true. The user is
now responsible for setting this to false when using BackendTLSPolicy,
as ingress proxies cannot present client certificates to backends.

Updated:
- values.yaml: Added server.tls.enableMtls (default true)
- gateway-config.yaml: Check enableMtls instead of backendTLSPolicy
- _gateway-workload.tpl: Check enableMtls for client CA mount
- Tests: Updated to use enableMtls flag
- Docs: Added enableMtls=false to BackendTLSPolicy examples
- README: Document new flag and BackendTLSPolicy requirement

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizza@redhat.com>

* docs(helm): clarify cert-manager backend CA ConfigMap workflow

Update documentation to explain the two-step install process required
when using cert-manager with BackendTLSPolicy:

1. helm install - cert-manager issues the server certificate, but the
   certgen hook can't create the backend CA ConfigMap yet (cert-manager
   reconciles after templates are applied)
2. helm upgrade - certgen hook reads the CA from the cert-manager-issued
   certificate and creates the ConfigMap

Previously, the docs said "created on first upgrade" without explaining
why or that the feature won't work until then. The updated docs now:
- Explain the timing issue (cert-manager reconciles after chart install)
- Provide clear steps for the cert-manager workflow
- Note that pkiInitJob (default) creates it immediately on install
- Clarify that users must wait for the Certificate to be Ready before
  running the second upgrade

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizza@redhat.com>

* fix(docs): remove incorrect external hostname requirement for BackendTLSPolicy

BackendTLSPolicy validates the backend certificate against the service FQDN
(e.g., openshell.openshell.svc.cluster.local), not the external hostname.
The external hostname only needs to be on the Gateway listener certificate
for client-facing TLS.

The default certManager.serverDnsNames already includes all required service
FQDN variants, so no configuration is needed for BackendTLSPolicy to work.

Fixed incorrect documentation that claimed:
- "The server certificate SAN list must include the external hostname"
- Users need to "configure certManager.serverDnsNames with the external hostname"

Removed the unnecessary pkiInitJob.serverDnsNames override from the example
and clarified that:
- Gateway listener certificate needs the external hostname (for clients)
- Backend certificate needs the service FQDN (for Gateway proxy)
- The service FQDN is already in the defaults

* docs: clarify ACME with LetsEncrypt reference

- docs/kubernetes/openshift.mdx
- deploy/helm/openshell/values.yaml

- deploy/helm/openshell/ci/values-openshift-route-cert-manager.yaml

* docs(openshift): restructure end-to-end TLS options and clarify Gateway hostname

Reorganize the OpenShift production deployment documentation:

1. Changed main section from "Production Deployments" to "Options for
   end-to-end TLS" for better clarity

2. Renamed subsections for consistency and clarity:
   - "End-to-end TLS using Gateway API and BackendTLSPolicy (OpenShift 4.22+)"
   - "End-to-end TLS using pass-through Route (all OpenShift versions)"

3. Clarified that the Gateway hostname is typically a wildcard:
   "typically a wildcard like *.openshell-ingress-gw.example.com"

4. Removed the recommendation to copy the cluster's wildcard certificate
   from openshift-ingress namespace, as this is not a recommended
   security best practice

These changes make it clearer that users have two end-to-end TLS options
and help them understand the typical naming pattern for Gateway hostnames.

* feat(helm): eliminate two-stage install for BackendTLSPolicy with cert-manager

When using BackendTLSPolicy with cert-manager, the certgen hook now polls
for up to 90 seconds waiting for cert-manager to issue the TLS certificate
before creating the backend CA ConfigMap. This eliminates the need for a
second `helm upgrade` in most cases.

The hook polls every 2 seconds with progress logging every 10 seconds.
If cert-manager takes longer than 90 seconds, the hook times out gracefully
and logs a warning, preserving the fallback to manual ConfigMap creation
or a second upgrade.

The Job's activeDeadlineSeconds is 120s, so the 90s timeout leaves 30s
margin for ConfigMap creation and hook completion.

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizzato@nvidia.com>

* feat(helm): add configurable timeout for certgen hook

Add `pkiInitJob.timeoutSeconds` Helm value (default 120) to control how long
the certgen hook Job can run. When using cert-manager with BackendTLSPolicy,
the hook polls for (timeoutSeconds - 30) seconds to leave margin for ConfigMap
creation and cleanup.

This allows users to increase the timeout for environments where cert-manager
takes longer than 90 seconds to issue certificates, without requiring code
changes.

Example usage:
```yaml
pkiInitJob:
  timeoutSeconds: 180  # Hook polls for 150 seconds
```

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizzato@nvidia.com>

* docs(helm): document configurable certgen timeout

Update documentation to mention the pkiInitJob.timeoutSeconds value and
how it affects the cert-manager polling behavior when using BackendTLSPolicy.

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizzato@nvidia.com>

* feat(helm): add configurable failure behavior for certgen timeout

Add `pkiInitJob.failOnTimeout` Helm value (default false) to control whether
the certgen hook fails or succeeds when cert-manager does not issue a
certificate within the polling timeout.

When false (default), the hook succeeds with a warning and users can run
`helm upgrade` after cert-manager issues the certificate to create the
backend CA ConfigMap. This provides backwards-compatible behavior.

When true, the hook fails immediately if the timeout is reached, providing
clear feedback that BackendTLSPolicy is non-functional. This is useful for
strict validation requirements where incomplete installs should fail fast.

Example usage:
```yaml
pkiInitJob:
  timeoutSeconds: 180
  failOnTimeout: true  # Fail install if cert-manager takes >150s
```

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizzato@nvidia.com>

* feat(helm): change failOnTimeout default to true and add troubleshooting docs

Change `pkiInitJob.failOnTimeout` default from false to true to provide
immediate feedback when cert-manager does not issue certificates within
the polling timeout. This prevents silent failures where BackendTLSPolicy
is non-functional but the install appears to succeed.

Add comprehensive troubleshooting section to docs/kubernetes/ingress.mdx
documenting the specific error "TLS error: Secret is not supplied by SDS"
that occurs when the backend CA ConfigMap is missing, with step-by-step
resolution instructions.

Updated comments in values.yaml to clearly document the default behavior
and explain when administrators might see connectivity errors if they
override the default to failOnTimeout=false.

BREAKING CHANGE: pkiInitJob.failOnTimeout now defaults to true. Helm
installs will fail if cert-manager takes longer than (timeoutSeconds - 30)
seconds to issue certificates. To restore the old behavior of allowing
installs to succeed with a warning, set `pkiInitJob.failOnTimeout=false`.

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizzato@nvidia.com>

* fix(helm): make cert-manager resources pre-install hooks to fix ordering

Make Certificate and Issuer resources run as pre-install/pre-upgrade hooks
with weight -30, before the certgen hook (weight -20). This fixes the
chicken-and-egg problem where the certgen hook was waiting for Secrets
created by Certificates that hadn't been created yet.

**Hook ordering:**
1. Certificate and Issuer resources created (weight -30)
2. cert-manager issues certificates and creates Secrets
3. certgen hook runs (weight -20), finds Secrets, creates ConfigMap
4. Main resources (StatefulSet, Service, etc.) created

Previously, the certgen pre-install hook would run before any resources
were created, poll for a non-existent Secret, timeout, and fail. The
Certificate resources would never get created because Helm waits for
all pre-install hooks to succeed before creating main resources.

This fix allows single-stage installs to work reliably as long as
cert-manager can issue certificates within the polling timeout.

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizzato@nvidia.com>

* feat(helm): add validation to prevent enableMtls with BackendTLSPolicy

Add Helm chart validation that fails the install if both
server.tls.enableMtls=true and grpcRoute.backendTLSPolicy.enabled=true
are set, since this is an invalid configuration.

BackendTLSPolicy requires mTLS to be disabled because the Gateway proxy
cannot present client certificates to the backend. This validation provides
immediate, clear feedback at install time rather than allowing the
misconfiguration to be discovered through runtime errors.

Example error message:
```
Error: grpcRoute.backendTLSPolicy requires mTLS to be disabled because
the Gateway proxy cannot present client certificates to the backend;
set server.tls.enableMtls=false
```

Also updated documentation to mention this validation check.

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizzato@nvidia.com>

* docs(helm): clarify pkiInitJob.timeoutSeconds polling behavior

Improve documentation to clearly explain that pkiInitJob.timeoutSeconds
controls the Job deadline, but the actual polling timeout is
(timeoutSeconds - 30) to reserve 30 seconds for ConfigMap creation
and cleanup.

Added concrete example: "timeoutSeconds=180 allows 150 seconds of polling"
to make the relationship explicit and avoid confusion where users might
expect the hook to poll for the full timeout value.

Updated both values.yaml inline comments and ingress.mdx documentation
for consistency.

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizzato@nvidia.com>

* docs(openshift): remove outdated two-stage install instructions

Update OpenShift documentation to reflect that single-stage installs now
work with cert-manager and BackendTLSPolicy. The Certificate resources
run as pre-install hooks (weight -30) before certgen (weight -20),
allowing the hook to poll for and find the issued certificates.

Removed the outdated two-step process:
1. helm install (cert-manager issues cert, hook logs warning)
2. helm upgrade (hook creates ConfigMap)

Replaced with current single-stage behavior:
- Certificate resources created as pre-install hooks
- certgen hook polls for up to 90 seconds (configurable)
- Single helm install succeeds in most cases
- Fails fast by default if timeout reached

This brings openshift.mdx in line with the already-updated ingress.mdx
documentation.

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizzato@nvidia.com>

* fix(helm): make pkiInitJob.timeoutSeconds the actual polling duration

The timeout value now represents the actual polling time that users
experience when waiting for cert-manager to issue certificates.
The Job activeDeadlineSeconds is set to (timeoutSeconds + 30) to
allow buffer time for ConfigMap creation and cleanup.

Previously, the hook polled for (timeoutSeconds - 30) seconds, which
was confusing when users set timeoutSeconds=180 and only got 150
seconds of actual polling.

Updated documentation in values.yaml, ingress.mdx, and openshift.mdx
to reflect the clearer behavior.

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizza@nvidia.com>

* docs(helm): update values.yaml and README with correct polling duration

Updated the caCertificateConfigMapName description to reflect that the
hook polls for exactly pkiInitJob.timeoutSeconds seconds, not
(timeoutSeconds - 30) seconds.

Regenerated README.md with helm-docs.

* docs(kubernetes): add OIDC configuration to helm install and CLI examples

Updated all helm install and openshell gateway add examples in ingress.mdx

Examples now use concrete placeholder values:
- OIDC issuer: https://keycloak.example.com/realms/openshell
- OIDC audience: openshell-cli
- Hostname: gateway.example.com
- ClusterIssuer: letsencrypt-prod

This makes it clearer how to configure OIDC authentication, which is
required when using BackendTLSPolicy or HTTPS termination since the
Gateway proxy cannot present client certificates to the backend.

Signed-off-by: Brandon Squizzato <bsquizza@nvidia.com>

* docs(kubernetes): explicitly list OIDC client ID in gateway add examples

Added --oidc-client-id openshell-cli to all openshell gateway add
commands in ingress.mdx and openshift.mdx, making the default client

This improves clarity and helps users understand the complete OIDC
configuration needed for gateway registration.

* fix(helm): address PR review feedback for BackendTLSPolicy

- Read backend CA from the authoritative server Secret instead of the
  in-memory PKI bundle so enabling BackendTLSPolicy on an existing
  release uses the CA that actually signed the server certificate.
- Reconcile the backend CA ConfigMap on every hook run (compare and
  update) instead of skipping when it already exists, so CA rotations
  propagate automatically.
- Remove hook annotations from cert-manager Issuer/Certificate resources
  so they remain regular release objects managed by Helm lifecycle. Split
  the cert-manager backend CA ConfigMap creation into a separate
  post-install/post-upgrade hook Job that polls after cert-manager
  Certificate resources are applied.
- Update architecture/gateway.md, docs/reference/gateway-config.mdx,
  debug-openshell-cluster skill, and helm-dev-environment skill with
  BackendTLSPolicy, backend CA ConfigMap, enableMtls, and timeout

Jesse Jaggars c4b500a7de feat(helm): cert-manager external issuer + OpenShift passthrough Route (#2468)
* fix(core): trust public root CAs alongside the sandbox mTLS CA

The supervisor gRPC client only trusted the CA configured via
OPENSHELL_TLS_CA, since tonic ClientTlsConfig starts with an empty root
store unless with_native_roots()/with_webpki_roots() is also enabled.
Deployments where the gateway server certificate is issued by a public CA
(e.g. cert-manager against an ACME issuer) caused every supervisor
connection to fail the TLS handshake with "UnknownCA", since the sandbox
mTLS CA and the server cert issuer were no longer the same.

Enable both native and webpki roots in addition to the configured CA.
tonic root store is a union of all configured sources, so this does not
weaken verification for existing self-signed deployments. webpki-roots
(compiled in) is enabled alongside native-roots since the supervisor
binary may run in minimal sandbox images without a populated system CA
bundle.

Signed-off-by: Jesse Jaggars <jjaggars@redhat.com>

* feat(helm): support external cert-manager issuers and OpenShift Route passthrough

Add certManager.serverIssuerRef/clientIssuerRef so the gateway and mTLS
client certificates can be issued by a real Issuer/ClusterIssuer (e.g.
ACME) instead of only the chart built-in self-signed CA.

Add openshiftRoute template for exposing the gateway via a TLS
passthrough Route so the gateway keeps terminating its own TLS/mTLS.

The server Certificate excludes internal-only SANs (cluster-local,
localhost, loopback) when an external issuer is configured, since ACME
issuers reject those per CA/Browser Forum baseline requirements. A
template-time fail guard catches the misconfiguration at helm install
time rather than asynchronously at cert-manager issuance time.

Includes Helm unittest coverage for both issuerRef overrides and Route
rendering, plus a CI values overlay for lint coverage.

* fix(helm,core): address PR review feedback on cert-manager external issuer

Addresses all five blocking review items from #2468:

   image CA bundle is not operator-controlled. Keep .with_webpki_roots()
   (compiled-in, not user-controlled) alongside the configured CA.

2. Fail at render time when serverIssuerRef.name is set but
   clientCaFromServerTlsSecret is still true. Add negative Helm test.

3. Remove clientIssuerRef -- changing only clientIssuerRef breaks both
   directions because trust bundles are not modeled separately. Change
   serverIssuerRef.kind default from ClusterIssuer to Issuer.

4. Add server.oidc.issuer and server.oidc.audience to the documented
   OpenShift production Helm command. Add Access Control prerequisite.

5. Fail at render time when openshiftRoute.enabled and disableTls are

* feat(tls): SNI-based dual certificate for internal and external server TLS

Split the gateway server certificate into two: an internal cert issued by
the chart's own CA (for supervisor connections via cluster-local SANs) and
an external cert issued by an operator-configured Issuer such as ACME/Let's
Encrypt (for CLI and Route access via public SANs).

The gateway uses SNI-based certificate selection: connections whose SNI
hostname matches external_server_names receive the external cert; all
others (including those with no SNI) receive the internal cert.

Security improvement: remove .with_webpki_roots() from the supervisor
gRPC client so supervisors trust only the chart CA, closing a MITM vector
via publicly-trusted certificates in user-supplied container images.

Key changes:
- Add DualCertResolver with SNI-based cert selection and full test coverage
- Add external_cert_path, external_key_path, external_server_names to TlsConfig
- Validate partial external cert config (error on cert-without-key or vice versa)
- Validate empty external_server_names when external cert is configured
- Split cert-manager templates into internal + external Certificate resources
- Add Helm guards for misconfigured external issuer (empty serverDnsNames,
  internal-only SANs with external issuer, conflicting clientCaFromServerTlsSecret)
- Update gateway-config.mdx, managing-certificates.mdx, openshift.mdx docs
- Update debug-openshell-cluster skill for dual-cert troubleshooting

* fix(drivers): strip GATEWAY_TLS_SERVER_NAME in VM driver and correct comments

Add the same GATEWAY_TLS_SERVER_NAME environment stripping to the VM
compute driver that Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes drivers already
perform. Without this, a sandbox user on the VM driver could override
the TLS server name the supervisor verifies.

Fix stale comments in Docker and Podman drivers that referenced
'with WebPKI roots trusted' — WebPKI roots are explicitly not trusted
after the tls-webpki-roots removal.

Use tls-ring instead of bare channel for tonic in openshell-core so the
TLS API (ClientTlsConfig, Endpoint::tls_config) is available without
pulling in any root certificate store.

* fix(tls,helm): wildcard SNI matching and Route host validation

Add RFC 6125 single-level wildcard matching to DualCertResolver so
external_server_names entries like *.example.com correctly match SNI
hostnames like gw.example.com. Previously only exact matches worked,
silently falling back to the internal cert for wildcard configurations.

Add a Helm fail guard in route.yaml that rejects openshiftRoute.host
values not listed in certManager.serverDnsNames when an external issuer
is configured — catches cert/route hostname mismatches at install time
instead of at TLS connect time.

Quote the host field in route.yaml for robustness.

* fix(helm): address blocking review items — client-CA guard, wildcard Route, serverIssuerRef gate

1. Remove the obsolete guard rejecting serverIssuerRef + clientCaFromServerTlsSecret=true.
   The internal server certificate is always signed by the chart CA (the same
   CA that signs the client cert), so clientCaFromServerTlsSecret=true is
   correct — its filtered ca.crt is exactly the right trust anchor.  The old
   workaround (mounting openshell-ca-tls directly) unnecessarily exposed the
   CA private key to the gateway container.  Remove the client-CA overrides
   from docs, CI overlay, and production examples.

2. Route host validation now supports wildcard certificates per RFC 6125:
   single-level wildcards like *.example.com match gateway.example.com but
   not deep.sub.example.com.  Require an explicit openshiftRoute.host when
   an external issuer is configured — without one, OpenShift generates a
   hostname absent from serverDnsNames.

3. Reject serverIssuerRef.name when certManager.enabled is false — the
   external certificate, its Secret mount, and the gateway TLS config all
   require cert-manager to be enabled.

Validated on ROSA (dev.dyee.p3) with branch-built images:
- Fresh install with letsencrypt-prod ClusterIssuer
- SNI dual-cert: external hostname served Let's Encrypt cert
- Supervisor mTLS via internal cert path: ConnectSupervisor accepted
- Client CA volume: filtered ca.crt from internal server secret (no key)
- CLI connected via Route + OIDC

Helm tests: 81 pass across 7 suites.

Taylor Mutch 5f58cb018f fix(helm): create sandbox JWT secret when cert-manager is enabled (#1700)
* fix(helm): create sandbox JWT secret under cert-manager

The cert-manager install path (certManager.enabled=true,
pkiInitJob.enabled=false) left the gateway StatefulSet unable to start
because nothing created the openshell-jwt-keys Secret: cert-manager owns
TLS Secrets but does not mint the sandbox JWT signing key, and the
certgen hook only rendered when pkiInitJob.enabled was true.

Separate JWT signing-key provisioning from TLS PKI provisioning:

- certgen: add a --jwt-only mode that creates only the Opaque JWT
  signing Secret, for use when another controller owns TLS Secrets.
- certgen.yaml: render the hook when pkiInitJob.enabled OR
  certManager.enabled is true. cert-manager takes precedence and runs
  the hook with --jwt-only even if pkiInitJob.enabled remains true.
  Remove the mutual-exclusion failure between the two values.
- _helpers.tpl: add openshell.sandboxJwtSecretName, shared by the hook
  and the StatefulSet mount.
- Update values, README, docs, architecture, and the
  debug-openshell-cluster skill to reflect the new precedence; the
  documented cert-manager install no longer needs pkiInitJob.enabled=false.

Closes #1691

* fix(helm): honor cert-manager precedence for client CA volume

The client CA volume logic treated pkiInitJob.enabled as proof that
built-in PKI owns the client CA. With cert-manager precedence now
allowing certManager.enabled=true alongside the default
pkiInitJob.enabled=true, that assumption mounts the server TLS cert
secret as the client CA and ignores
certManager.clientCaFromServerTlsSecret=false, which can break mTLS or
trust the wrong CA.

Gate the pkiInitJob.enabled term with (not certManager.enabled) in all
three client CA conditions (volume mount, volume definition, and secret
selection) so cert-manager owns TLS when enabled. Add a Helm test suite
covering built-in PKI, cert-manager shared CA, the regression config
(cert-manager + clientCaFromServerTlsSecret=false + default pkiInitJob),
and the no-client-CA case.

Access Control) and rename the files to match. Update cross-references in
setup.mdx and the installation page.

* docs(nav): revert Reference to folder mode

The Reference section was switched to explicit section/contents to host
the nested Kubernetes subsection. With Kubernetes promoted to a top-level
folder, restore folder-mode auto-detection. Side effect: sandbox-compute-drivers
is picked up again, which was silently absent from the explicit list.

Constraints (disabled PKI init Job, plaintext TLS, cleared fsGroup
and runAsUser).
