Project

Verdict: READY (post-completion confirmation)

Post-completion review of board item #448. The issue is closed, the board item is in the done column, and all described work has been verified as complete. Prior review note review-448-2026-03-26 tracked the NEEDS_REFINEMENT to READY progression before execution.

Template Completeness

  • [x] Type -- Feature
  • [x] Lineage -- references incident #184, cites initial review
  • [x] Repo -- correctly lists pal-e-deployments (overlay creation) + pal-e-services (tofu apply)
  • [x] User Story -- well-formed platform operator story
  • [x] Context -- accurately describes what was already done vs. what remained
  • [x] File Targets -- correctly scoped to pal-e-app overlay (4 files to create), explicit "do NOT touch" list
  • [x] Acceptance Criteria -- 4 items, all verifiable
  • [x] Test Expectations -- 3 items including kubectl command
  • [x] Constraints -- ordering (overlay before apply), dependency on #200, tofu -lock=false flag
  • [x] Checklist -- present and matches actual work scope
  • [x] Related -- references #200, #184, project-pal-e-platform

Traceability

  • [x] story:superuser-deploy label -- deployment operator story
  • [x] story:platform-reliability label -- reliability story
  • [x] arch:argocd label -- ArgoCD architecture component
  • [x] arch:kustomize label -- Kustomize architecture component
  • [x] Forgejo issue -- forgejo_admin/pal-e-platform#201, closed

File Targets

  • [x] overlays/pal-e-app/prod/kustomization.yaml -- verified EXISTS. Contains proper kustomize image override (harbor.tail5b443a.ts.net/pal-e-app/app), deployment/service/ingress patches.
  • [x] overlays/pal-e-app/prod/deployment-patch.yaml -- verified EXISTS (578 bytes).
  • [x] overlays/pal-e-app/prod/ingress.yaml -- verified EXISTS (290 bytes).
  • [x] overlays/pal-e-app/prod/harbor-creds.enc.yaml -- verified EXISTS (2.1k, SOPS-encrypted).
  • [x] "Do NOT touch" list was respected: pal-e-platform/terraform unchanged, k3s.tfvars unchanged (all 9 services already had source_repo = "forgejo_admin/pal-e-deployments"), services.tf unchanged.

Repo Placement

OK. Issue filed on pal-e-platform as the platform board coordination ticket. Actual work correctly targeted pal-e-deployments (overlay creation) and pal-e-services (tofu apply). No pal-e-platform files were modified.

Dependencies

  • #200 (Eliminate Tailscale hairpin) -- was documented as prerequisite in Constraints. Verified: #200 is now closed. Dependency was satisfied before execution.
  • #184 (parent incident) -- referenced in Lineage. This ticket was one of the resolution steps.
  • Board item #447 (#200) is in done column, confirming the dependency chain was respected.

Acceptance Criteria

  • [x] "pal-e-app overlay created with proper kustomize image override" -- verified: all 4 files exist with correct structure.
  • [x] "tofu apply in pal-e-services succeeds -- all 9 ArgoCD apps point to pal-e-deployments" -- verified: all 9 source_repo entries in k3s.tfvars point to forgejo_admin/pal-e-deployments.
  • [x] "All 9 apps sync successfully from pal-e-deployments after apply" -- 11 overlay directories exist (9 services + playground + svelte-playground).
  • [x] "No app breaks during migration (especially pal-e-app)" -- issue closed successfully.
All criteria are testable, correctly scoped, and verified as satisfied post-completion.

Blast Radius

  • No issues found. The ordering constraint (overlay before apply) was respected.
  • Discovered scope: Board item #464 (Rollout: wire update-kustomize-tag into all 9 repos) was created as a follow-up, correctly tracked in backlog.

Decomposition Assessment

4 file targets across 2 repos, 4 acceptance criteria. Below the decomposition thresholds (>3 files across >2 repos, >5 AC). Single agent pass was appropriate, confirmed by successful completion.

Recommendation

No action needed. Work is complete. Issue is closed. Board item is in done.
