Subject: [PATCH 1/6] fix(manifests): replace broken NetworkPolicy with proper
 platform ingress rules
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The allow-from-runner-namespaces NP (#1553) uses podSelector: {} (all pods)
but only permits ingress from runner pods, blocking OpenShift router traffic
to the frontend and all other services. This caused outages on both Stage
and UAT clusters.

Replace with allow-platform-ingress that permits:
- OpenShift router ingress (policy-group.network.openshift.io/ingress label)
- Intra-namespace pod-to-pod traffic
- Runner pod ingress from any namespace (original intent of #1553)

Subject: [PATCH 2/6] feat(cli,sdk): credential name resolution + FindByName
 across all subcommands
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add resolveCredentialID helper to credential subcommand (get, update, delete,
token) enabling name-based lookups with ID fallback. Add FindByName to SDK
credential_extensions.go using TSL search. Fix apply to use FindByName for
upsert. Add platform-managed pod ingress rule to runner NetworkPolicy.

Subject: [PATCH 3/6] fix(runner,cp): credential token fetch uses correct path
 + project-scoped binding
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Runner: fix 404 by using global credential token path
(/api/ambient/v1/credentials/{id}/token) matching the API server route,
instead of the non-existent project-scoped path.

Control plane: resolveCredentialIDs now queries role bindings filtered by
scope=credential and project_id, so runners only receive credentials
explicitly bound to their project — not every credential in the system.

Also adds demo-credentials.sh replacing the stale demo-github.sh with a
spec-compliant credential lifecycle demo (create, bind, verify).

+#     .secrets/GITHUB_TOKEN   — a GitHub Personal Access Token (classic or fine-grained)
+#                               Create at: https://github.com/settings/tokens
+#                               Required scopes: repo (or fine-grained with Contents read)

+#                               Required scopes: read_api

+#                               Used with your Atlassian email for Basic auth

+#   Each file should contain the raw token string with no trailing newline.

 make coderabbit install non-fatal
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Test: update assertion to match the global credential token URL
(/api/ambient/v1/credentials/{id}/token) after removing the
project-scoped prefix.

Dockerfile: make CodeRabbit CLI install non-fatal so image builds
succeed when cli.coderabbit.ai is unavailable.

Subject: [PATCH 5/6] fix(manifests): restore permissive NetworkPolicy for Kind
 E2E overlay
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The base allow-platform-ingress NetworkPolicy uses OpenShift-specific
ingress labels that don't exist in Kind clusters. Add a Kind overlay
patch that restores the blanket allow-all ingress rule so that NodePort
traffic from the host can reach platform services during E2E tests.

 control-plane, and observability
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add pre-migration init container to create stub role_bindings table
  (workaround for GORM migration ordering: 2025* ALTER runs before 2026* CREATE)
- Add api-server security patch to allow runAsNonRoot: false (migration
  init container image runs as root)
- Add control-plane JSON patch replacing env array: removes OIDC auth
  (uses static token), switches to HTTP URLs for Kind
- Scale observability-dashboard to 0 (image not available in Kind)
