What this PR does

Backports become automatic. Fix merged to main with fix title, or security for fix that comes through security advisory, reaches release lines through batch that runs on Monday and Thursday, newest line first, nobody requests, labels or opens backports by hand. Batch runs for two newest lines with stable release (released-lines in policy block) and every line branched after them that has no stable release yet: with 1.6 and 1.7 released, release-1.8 created at v1.8.0-rc.1 joins them, and v1.8.0 drops 1.6. Line counts as released once vX.Y.Z tag without pre-release suffix exists on origin. Rules are in docs/release/backports.md, cmd/backport-batch applies them, .github/workflows/backport-batch.yaml runs it. Design is in cozystack/community#114, merge shape of each original in cozystack/community#119.

  • backport-batch run --line release-X.Y takes PRs merged to main since line branched (title and body read from merge commit) and skips what rules exclude: other types and deps, breaking changes, platform migrations, targetVersion, changed CRD documents, API changes that API review gate calls sizeable (batch runs internal/apigate itself whenever PR changes a file the gate parses: pkg/apiserver/apiserver.go, an ApplicationDefinition, or YAML under packages/ or internal/ naming CustomResourceDefinition or APIService), and on older line what next newer line doesn't carry yet. The rest goes onto backport-batch/<line>-<date> in merge order. PR merged to main with merge commit goes as its own commits picked with cherry-pick -x --signoff, so each keeps its author, message and sign-offs and gets sign-off of whoever runs the batch (with -m 1 author was whoever merged on main), merges of main into PR branch are left out, and merge commit joins them to the batch with original's merge message and Backported-from: trailer. Squash-merged PR goes as one pick. Conflict on any commit takes branch back to where it was before that original, it's listed with the commit that failed, run goes on. --push opens or updates draft PR, --continue carries on open batch PR as fast-forward only, PR body it didn't write is never rewritten. Same-day run over batch branch whose PR never got opened refuses and names run --line <line> --onto <head> --push, which continues it. Run or --defer that resets local batch branch over commits only it has prints git branch command that restores them.
  • run --defer <N> --reason <why> takes original out of open batch (usually the one failing CI is pinned on). It rebuilds branch replaying batch unit by unit without it, so merges and pushed conflict resolutions keep their shape, and only this rebuild pushes with --force-with-lease. Deferred original comes back in next batch.
  • Line carries something only if its own history shows it: picks whose -x line, the one git appends, names PR's merge commit or every commit of its own, or pick that changes nothing. Picked commits keep their messages and batch merge carries PR body, so text in them (-x lines, Backported-from:, Backport of #N) counts only on commits from before batch-only day in policy block, where it records old hand backports and batches. Otherwise text in a merged fix could mark another fix as already backported, and it would never reach the line. PR against line never counts. Open batch PR counts only from this repo and from author with write access or the batch's own bot (BACKPORT_BATCH_BOT, exact login, cozystack-ci[bot] when unset, so maintainer's run by hand continues scheduled batch instead of opening second one), and is read the same way. Actions bot isn't trusted anymore, any workflow token writes as it.
  • Any failed GitHub API or git call stops the run with message naming the call, no retries. Failed permission lookup used to count batch PR out as look-alike, so --continue opened second batch PR and notify posted second comment; now run, check, verify and notify exit 2 and write nothing.
  • Policy applies fully from release-1.7. release-1.6 takes only fixes merged from 2026-10-26, older ones need backport/include. Start days are in backport-policy block on the policy page, test keeps page and code in sync.
  • backport-batch check --cut replaces backport-audit as gate before patch cut and before every rc after the first, it also fails while a fix is only on open batch PR. Plain check, which scheduled run uses, lets those through. backport-batch fold checks conflict resolution in the same shape: merge on batch head whose second parent is straight line of picks of PR's own commits in order, each with its -x, only PR's files (one pick for squash). backport-batch verify holds every original on batch to that shape, clean picks included, and pr-labeler.yaml runs it on every push to batch PR: pull_request_target so it reaches release-*, tool built from main, batch head fetched as data, read-only token. Batch PR body says per original how many commits it brought and which picks differ from their commits. backport-batch notify reports batch that is still open from previous run and deferred conflicts in one comment on batch PR, edited in place, with BACKPORT_ALERT_TEAM mention.
  • hack/backport-batch-scheduled.sh is what the workflow runs and maintainer can run by hand (--dry-run changes nothing on GitHub): for each line newest first run --continue --push, check, notify. It pushes with BACKPORT_BATCH_TOKEN only and fails without it, never GITHUB_TOKEN, because its pushes don't start CI. Workflow runs it as cozystack-ci App: it mints token for this repo only with Contents and Pull requests write, passes it as BACKPORT_BATCH_TOKEN, commits as cozystack-ci[bot], and sets BACKPORT_BATCH_BOT so the tool trusts that bot's batch PR and comment. Job timeout is 30 minutes, under the token's hour.
  • App has no workflows permission, so workflow runs the script with --no-workflow-files: original that changes .github/workflows/ isn't picked and waits on batch PR for maintainer, listed with its workflow files in body and in notify comment. It's never a conflict. check warns about it while it waits and check --cut fails on it. Maintainer brings it over with own token by run --continue --push without the flag, or takes it out with --defer.
  • Deferred conflicts and failed batch CI wait for maintainer. notify keeps one comment on batch PR listing stalled batch, conflicts and workflow changes, mentioning BACKPORT_ALERT_TEAM (team or login) when it's set. Failed batch CI isn't in the comment, it shows on batch PR checks, and check --cut fails while batch is unmerged.
  • Two steps that need judgement (resolve conflict, pin failed CI on original and defer it) are written as runbooks in docs/release/backport-tasks/: inputs, the only allowed output, check it must pass before push, what never to do.
  • backport/include and backport/skip let maintainer override rules for single PR, they are new backport/ category in labels.yml. Skip wins over include, if open batch already picked it --defer takes it out.
  • Text written by other people (titles, release notes, reasons, file names) goes to batch PR body only inside code spans or release-note block, control, bidi and zero-width characters are dropped, file names in deferred block included, git args go after --end-of-options, no shell.
  • Removed: cmd/backport-audit, backport.yaml, kind/backport and kind/backport-previous labels with aliases and stale exemption, trailer-check exemption for bot branches. Commit trailers job exempts only backport-batch/* branches of this repo, changelog instructions read originals from batch commits. Exemption lives in main's pre-commit.yml, and batch PR runs its line's copy: release-1.7 has its own copy that exempts only old backport-<pr>-to-<branch> branches, release-1.6 has no such job. So on release-1.7 picked commit with bad trailer fails batch CI until line gets main's copy.
  • hack/close-manual-backport.sh runs from pr-labeler.yaml on opened and closes PR against release-* from outside contributor (association contributor, first-time contributor or none, permission read or none). Owners, members, collaborators, anyone with triage or more and bots are left alone. When GitHub's answer on author's permission can't be read, it closes nothing and fails the job naming the failed read. Maintainer keeps release-only fix by reopening it. Release-only PRs are occasional and opened by maintainers, for fix with no counterpart on main, or one that on main came inside another PR or was written for main; if its counterpart on main is a fix the batch would take, the batch skips it once picking it changes nothing on the line, otherwise maintainer labels it backport/skip.
  • docs/release.md is split into pages under docs/release/, PR template doesn't ask for kind/backport anymore. security type is added to commit format in docs/agents/contributing.md, PR template, Gemini review guide and labeler's list (labeler maps no kind/* to it, labels.yml has no fitting one).
  • SECURITY.md, docs/security/incident-response.md and GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md now say two latest minor releases are supported, same window the batch runs for, and link the backport policy for which fixes go there.

Dry runs without push, on 2026-11-06, with --no-workflow-files as the workflow runs it: lines gives release-1.7 and release-1.6. On release-1.7 batch picks 12 fixes, defers 3 conflicts (#4756, #4867, #5082), leaves #4888 and #4971 to a maintainer because they change workflows, and skips 49. On release-1.6 it picks #5088, defers 3 conflicts (#5071, #5086, #5087), leaves #5142 to a maintainer, and skips 590. verify passes both batches.

Setup after merge: no new secret. Batch runs as cozystack-ci App from existing COZYSTACK_CI_APP_ID and COZYSTACK_CI_PRIVATE_KEY, job fails when either is missing. App's installation already has Contents and Pull requests write on all org repos, and no Workflows is needed: PRs that change .github/workflows/ wait for maintainer, who brings them over with own token as "Changes to workflows" in docs/release/backports.md says. Today that's #4888 and #4971 on release-1.7 and #5142 on release-1.6. Set BACKPORT_ALERT_TEAM to a team or a login (for example cozystack/maintainers): unset, batch comment mentions nobody and nobody is notified. Once this PR is merged, Backport batch shape can be required check in the release lines ruleset (release-* excluding release-*.*.*), with "Do not require status checks on creation" on, because cut-prerelease.yaml creates release-X.Y by push. PR Auto-Label with both new jobs runs on pull_request_target, so it needs #5135 sorted before 2026-12-02. kind/backport* labels have to be deleted by hand, label sync doesn't delete.

Screenshots

Not a UI change.

Downstream repositories

cozystack/community contributors/README.md lists commit types, so it needs security too, it has no backport label text. Website has no backport label instructions, and its links to docs/release.md carry no anchor, the page stays as index. Trigger map lists commit convention change for cozystack/ccp: this adds security type, but not message format or trailer, and package-bump writes only chore(...) commits and restates the trailer, so nothing changes there.

Release note

feat(release): backports are automatic. Fixes merged to main with fix or security title reach release lines through a batch built by cmd/backport-batch every Monday and Thursday, by the rules in docs/release/backports.md. The batch runs for the two newest lines with a stable release and for a line in its rc window: the release-X.Y branch the first rc creates joins at once, and its vX.Y.0 drops the oldest line. Features, chores, docs, dependency bumps, breaking changes, migrations, CRDs and API changes that the API review gate calls sizeable wait for the next minor. The policy applies fully from release-1.7, release-1.6 takes only fixes merged from 2026-10-26. Each original reaches the line as its own commits under a merge commit, keeping their authors and sign-offs. Maintainers override the rules for single PR with backport/include and backport/skip labels and take an original out of a batch with backport-batch run --defer. backport-batch check replaces backport-audit as the gate before a patch release and before a later rc. The label-driven backport workflow and kind/backport labels are removed. Backport PR opened by hand against a release branch by author with read access or less is closed automatically. The scheduled batch runs as the cozystack-ci App and needs no secret of its own; a fix that changes .github/workflows waits on the batch pull request for a maintainer, since the App may not push workflow changes. Release documentation now lives in one page per topic under docs/release/.

Walkthrough

This pull request replaces individual label-triggered backports and the audit command with a policy-driven batch tool. It adds scheduled batch processing and validation, changes manual backport handling, and reorganizes release guidance into topic pages.

Changes: Backport batch automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Eligibility and policy
cmd/backport-batch/*, .github/labels.yml, docs/release/backports.md
The tool applies release-line policy, title and file rules, API checks, and backport/include and backport/skip overrides to select originals for batches.
Batch operations and validation
cmd/backport-batch/*
Commands assemble, publish, check, verify, defer, rebuild, and notify about batches. Batch tests cover selection, conflicts, pull-request body handling, and validation.
Workflow execution and manual backports
.github/workflows/backport-batch.yaml, .github/workflows/pr-labeler.yaml, hack/backport-batch-*, hack/close-manual-backport.*
The scheduled workflow runs batches for supported lines. Release-line batch pull requests receive shape verification. A workflow closes eligible manual pull requests opened against release branches.
Previous backport path and tooling
.github/workflows/backport.yaml, cmd/backport-audit/*, Makefile, .gitignore
The individual-backport workflow and audit command are removed. The Makefile test target and ignore rule now use backport-batch.

Release documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release index and references
docs/release.md, .github/workflows/*, hack/*, docs/agents/*
docs/release.md becomes an index of release topic pages. Changelog tooling and workflow references point to the corresponding topic pages.
Release procedures and backport tasks
docs/release/*.md, docs/release/backport-tasks/*, docs/release/backport-mechanics.md
The pages document release procedures, checks, backport tasks, CI failures, signatures, tags, changelogs, cleanup, and recorded release incidents.

Pull-request title checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Title review instructions and task
.github/instructions/pr-title.instructions.md, docs/release/backport-tasks/title-check.md, hack/copilot-instructions.bats
Repository instructions and a release task describe title checks against the pull-request diff. A contract test checks that their criteria match.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 296a8

Resolve the silent loss of merge-resolution content before merging: a batch can otherwise deliver an incomplete fix while reporting it as carried. Smaller CRD-selection and workflow-exclusion gaps also remain; unusually large waiting backlogs can prevent batch updates.

Minor follow-up Prune deleted release branches during fetch.

126-127: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Prune deleted release branches during fetch.

After a maintainer deletes a frozen release-X.Y on the remote, a clone that already fetched it keeps origin/release-X.Y. fetch() runs git fetch without --prune, and releaseLines() reads those local refs. lines can then list the deleted line, and batchLines and newerLine can use it.

Suggested fix
-	_, err = git("fetch", "--quiet", "--end-of-options", remote)
+	_, err = git("fetch", "--quiet", "--prune", "--end-of-options", remote)

Update the fetch operation used before release branch discovery to prune stale
remote-tracking refs, while preserving its existing remote and option handling.
This ensures releaseLines, and consequently batchLines, only use branches still
present on the remote.
Nitpick Make the cut assertion catch deferred `#5` when it is listed as missing.

175-178: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make the cut assertion catch deferred #5 when it is listed as missing.

The final check --cut assertion matches only #5 changes, which the waiting line prints. If deferred #5 moves to the missing list, stdout lists it as <url> <title> without that text, so the assertion still passes. Matching /pull/5 detects the missing line and the waiting line, because both print the URL followed by a space and the title. Deferral warnings go to stderr, so they do not match.

Suggested fix
-	if code, stdout, _ := f.exec(gh, "check", "--line", "release-1.1", "--cut"); strings.Contains(stdout, "#5 changes") {
-		t.Errorf("check --cut = %d, %q; a deferred #5 still stops the cut as waiting", code, stdout)
+	if code, stdout, _ := f.exec(gh, "check", "--line", "release-1.1", "--cut"); strings.Contains(stdout, "/pull/5 ") {

Bound the waiting entries, or stop oversized bodies before publish.

report.body collapses only skipped details and release notes. deferredBlock appends every waiting original with no count limit. When the body stays above bodyLimit, publish still sends it, and GitHub rejects it. The scheduled run then cannot update the batch.

Review comment at @cmd/backport-batch/body.go at line 390:
Update deferredBlock or the body-building flow around it so waiting entries
cannot make the generated report exceed bodyLimit; alternatively, stop oversized
bodies before publish. Ensure publish never sends a body above the limit, while
preserving the existing handling of other report sections.

Tree has 30 workflow files, so one waiting entry is about 2 KB at most. Body already drops the skipped lists and release notes first, to hit the limit we would need dozens of originals waiting at the same time. And even then gh pr edit fails and the run exits non-zero, same as for any other list in the body. Leaving it as is.

myasnikovdaniil Understood. You accept the rare oversized-body failure, which surfaces as a non-zero exit rather than silent truncation. I won’t press for a change.

Batch picks drop the content of a merge of main that resolved a conflict.

prCommits leaves out each merge in the pull request range. A merge of main into the branch can hold a conflict resolution that no pick contains. When the original's own commits pick cleanly, pickOriginal builds the batch merge from the picked tree only (commitMerge uses tip^{tree}). checkMerge and contained then accept the result, because they compare changed paths only. verify reports the original as ok, and check counts it as carried on the batch. The release line receives the original without the resolved content.

Defer an original when one of its excluded merges changes content beyond the automatic merge of its parents. The deferred reason should name that merge. This keeps the resolution out of the release line until someone reviews it.

Update the commit-processing flow in `shape.go` so originals are deferred when

beyond the automatic merge of its parents. Identify the merge and include it in
the deferral reason; do not treat clean picks of the original commits as
sufficient to carry that merge’s resolution into the batch.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Low value

Apply --no-workflow-files to the units that --defer replays.

The README says that an original changing .github/workflows/ is not picked when --no-workflow-files is set. Nothing in the --defer description exempts replayed units. run --defer accepts the flag, but rebuild returns before the ordinary loop that checks it (cmd/backport-batch/assemble.go:122-123). rebuild then picks each later unit again with replayUnit, which does not check .github/workflows/. With the flag set, a replayed unit that changes a workflow file can therefore enter the rebuilt branch.

When --no-workflow-files is set, check each replayed unit before rebuild switches the branch. Use u.picks for a merge unit and u.commit otherwise, and pass the commits to workflowFiles. If a unit returns files, stop with an error that names that unit's original and its files. Tell the operator to defer that original as well. Runs without the flag keep the current replay. Because the check runs before the branch switch, a stopped run leaves the existing branch unchanged.

docs/release.md had grown into one page that mixed the release model,
the CI pipeline, changelogs, signatures, nightlies and the fires seen
at release time. A reader looking for one of them read all of it, and
an edit to one part reflowed the rest. It now indexes one page per
topic under docs/release/.

The pages already describe how fixes reach a release line through the
backport batch, which the following commits add. Workflows, scripts
and tests that named docs/release.md now point at the page that holds
the text they mean.

Reviewed this with a focus on the git-flow design and the operational edges. The core is solid: the merge-with-own-commits shape, revert via git revert -m 1, the atomic per-original abort on conflict, DCO and author preservation, the pull_request_target jobs (none checks out the PR head, verify builds from main, forks are gated out), and close-manual-backport's live permission check all hold up. The selection rules and presence detection check out too: rule 6 reads the newer line's merged head, the apigate gate matches what it parses, and a live dry-run reproduced the exact deferred/waiting/picked sets with no fix dropped and nothing breaking picked.

The weak spots cluster in operational observability and a couple of hand-run footguns, not in the engine. Before this becomes the only gate for patch releases, these are worth closing.

[MAJOR] notify never reports a failed batch CI (cmd/backport-batch/notify.go:84-125). It builds its comment from stalled, deferred-conflicts and workflow-waiting only; it never reads check-run status. "A failed batch CI waits for a maintainer" is documented, but nothing surfaces it except the stalled message after 3 days, and only while the batch is still open.

[MAJOR] A transient permission lookup opens a second batch PR (cmd/backport-batch/github.go:237-240, 269-273). An error from permission() is returned the same as a genuine insufficient permission, so on a 5xx the batch PR drops out of found, --continue starts a new batch, and the next run jams on "more than one open batch pull request". This only bites a batch PR whose author is a person: the bot is trusted by exact login without an API call, so in practice it is after a maintainer's hand run. The same shape makes notify's comment() post a duplicate (notify.go:140). Making a failed lookup fatal, and skipping only a successfully-read insufficient permission, would fix both.

[MAJOR] BACKPORT_ALERT_TEAM unset leaves nobody alerted on a green run (hack/backport-batch-scheduled.sh:64-67). Plain check returns 0 on deferred conflicts, so a run with unresolved conflicts is green, and with the variable unset the notify comment mentions nobody. The variable is not validated anywhere, unlike the App secrets. At least emit a ::warning:: when it is empty.

[MEDIUM] A hand run silently resets a maintainer's local batch branch (cmd/backport-batch/assemble.go:155-158, cleanTree at 308-326). cleanTree checks tracked changes and in-progress operations but passes a clean tree with unpushed commits; git switch -C then resets the branch to the remote head, and an unpushed conflict resolution survives only in the reflog. CI is safe with its fresh checkout; this is a shared-checkout hand run. Refusing when the local branch has commits not on origin/<branch>, or running in a dedicated worktree, would close it.

[MEDIUM] The tool does not check that origin is the upstream repo (cmd/backport-batch/main.go:84-85). remote is hard-coded to origin while gh resolves the repo its own way, so a hand run with origin set to a fork builds from the fork and pushes there. A git remote get-url origin check against upstreamRepo would catch it.

[MEDIUM] A release-X.Y branch with no tags counts as an open rc window (cmd/backport-batch/lines.go:111-120). The code includes every line newer than the newest released one without checking for a vX.Y.0-rc.* tag, though the comment on line 107 says "whose rc window is open". An empty or hand-made branch then enters scope and, via rule 6, holds a real line until the phantom carries the fix.

[MEDIUM] failed-ci.md attribution is not enforced. fold and verify are real checks, but deferring the wrong originals to go green is not caught by anything mechanical: dropping more fixes only makes CI greener, so over-deferral is visible only in batch-PR review. The runbook's "never defer an original the failure does not reach" has no tool behind it, unlike the fold check it sits next to.

[MINOR] The batch PR body and title are rewritten on every run (assemble.go:471); a maintainer note outside the deferred fence is lost.
[MINOR] deferredBlock does not run clean() on file names (body.go:197-210); json.Marshal escapes <, >, & and controls but not bidi overrides like U+202E, so a crafted file name shows reordered in the machine-readable block. It cannot break the fence.
[MINOR] actingRE misses the GH-N closing form (body.go:58).
[MINOR] A crash between the push and createPull leaves an orphan batch branch (assemble.go:451-469); recoverable, but a same-day re-run then refuses the non-fast-forward.
[NIT] policy_test.go:202-206 only checks that rules 1-6 exist on the page, not their thresholds, so a change to the migration paths or the breaking-footer regex in code with the prose left alone would pass.

Two questions:

  1. Are the release-* lines write-protected so only the batch writes to them? The text-poisoning cutoff rests on that. h.appended, the git-appended -x line, is populated before the date check (history.go:241-247), so a commit placed on a line by hand and ending in a forged (cherry picked from commit <sha>) would mark another PR as present regardless of the cutoff. It needs write access to the line rather than a PR author, so branch protection is what closes it.

  2. Is check --cut passing on an unresolved deferred conflict intended? By the doc (check.go:24-30) a deferred conflict warns without failing even with --cut, so a patch or rc can be cut while a policy-taken fix is stuck in conflict on neither the line nor the batch. Did backport-audit fail in that case?

On the design itself, in cozystack/community#119: carrying each original as a merge with its own commits is the right call, and for a DCO-gated repo it is close to mandatory, since -m 1 of the merge takes the merger as author and drops contributors' sign-offs. Two small notes on that PR's text are over there.

Backports were asked for pull request by pull request with labels and
opened by a bot, so whether a fix reached a release line depended on
someone remembering to ask, and the lines drifted apart. The policy
page states the rules instead: a fix or security fix merged into main
goes to every line the batch runs for, unless it is breaking, touches
platform migrations or a CRD, or changes the API in a way the API
review gate calls sizeable. Two labels let a maintainer override the
rules for one pull request.

The task pages give a maintainer the steps for a deferred conflict and
for a failed batch CI. The backports route in AGENTS.md, the
contributing and changelog guides and the PR template point at the
policy, and the commit format lists the security type the policy
takes.

The rules need a tool that applies them the same way on every run and
shows what it did. backport-batch reads main's first-parent history,
judges each pull request by the policy block it reads from the page on
main, and picks what qualifies onto one batch branch per line. Each
original lands as its own commits under a merge that names it, so
authors and sign-offs survive and the line's own history shows what it
carries.

check is the gate before a cut. fold holds a hand resolution of a
conflict to the batch's shape, verify holds a whole batch to it, and
notify reports what waits on the batch for a maintainer.

Signed-off-by: Myasnikov Daniil <[email protected]>
The batch runs on Monday and Thursday from a script a maintainer can
also run by hand. It runs as the cozystack-ci App with a token for this
repository alone and Contents and Pull requests write, so its pushes
start CI on the batch and no person's token is involved. The App may
not push a workflow change, so such an original waits for a
maintainer.

pr-labeler holds every batch pull request to the batch's shape, with
the tool built from main and the head read as data. It also closes a
pull request into a release line opened by someone with read access
or none, since fixes reach the lines through the batch. The Commit
trailers check exempts a batch branch of this repository, whose picked
messages cannot be rewritten. Promotion now says how to bring its own
pipeline to a line through the batch.

The batch replaces the label-driven backport workflow and the audit
that gated a cut against it. The kind/backport labels, the stale
exemption for them, their contract tests and the audit's make target
go with them. labels.yml gains a backport/ category instead, with
backport/include and backport/skip, the overrides the batch reads off
a merged pull request.

The security policy promised three supported lines and said no rule
decides which of them a fix reaches. The backport batch runs for the
two newest lines with a stable release, by the rules on the backport
policy page, and the maintainers agreed to make that the support
window. SECURITY.md, the incident-response summary and the technical
review now name the two latest minor releases, say that the older one
drops out when a new minor ships, and send a reader to the backport
policy for which fixes reach them.

  • Permission lookup fixed, any failed GitHub API or git call now stops run, check, verify and notify with exit 2 and they write nothing. No retries, if API fails in one place it fails in others too.
  • notify doesn't list failed CI, docs said otherwise, fixed wording. Reading check runs I leave for later, notify runs right after push so CI on fresh head is still pending. Red CI shows on batch PR checks and check --cut fails while batch is unmerged.
  • BACKPORT_ALERT_TEAM will be set before first scheduled run, it takes a login too. ::warning:: on scheduled run reaches nobody, so not adding it.
  • On hand run run and --defer now print old tip and git branch command that restores it. Refusing would break repeated dry runs, they leave unpushed commits on that branch.
  • origin check not now, hand runs go in dedicated worktree as tool README says.
  • Tagless release-X.Y can't be made by hand, ruleset on release-* lets only cozystack-ci App create it and cut-prerelease creates branch right after pushing rc tag.
  • failed-ci attribution is on review, yes. Deferral is recorded with reason, check warns about it and next batch retries it, so over-deferral delays fix but doesn't lose it.
  • Body rewrite is intended, tool owns batch PR body and refuses body it didn't write. Notes go to comments.
  • deferredBlock file names fixed.
  • GH-N - closing keywords work only on PRs into default branch, and that text is inside fence anyway.
  • Orphan branch refusal now names run --line <line> --onto <head> --push.
  • policy_test I leave as is.

On questions:

  1. Yes, ruleset on release-* (without release-*.*.*): no direct push, force push or deletion, PR with 1 approval, merge commits only, only the App bypasses it. But batch isn't only writer, maintainers open occasional release-only PRs (docs now say when), so forged -x line needs PR author and approving reviewer.
  2. Intended. backport-audit did fail there, but I don't carry it over: conflict waits on batch PR in the open, next batch retries it, and resolving it before cut is maintainer's call.

Checked the pushed fixes against the code and the green checks. Every finding is either fixed or declined with a reason I'm fine with.

Verified in code:

  • the permission lookup now tells an API error apart from a read "insufficient permission", so a transient failure stops the run instead of opening a second batch PR (same for the duplicate notify comment);
  • deferredBlock runs clean() on file names;
  • the hand-run reset prints the recovery command, and the orphan-branch refusal names the --onto continuation.

The wider error-propagation refactor that came with those is covered: Unit & controller tests and pre-commit are green on the head, and the signature changes (isAncestor, lineTemplate, trustedAuthor) are consistent across call sites. No new gaps.

The two design calls are yours and I'm fine with them: check --cut warning rather than failing on an unresolved conflict, and a dedicated worktree instead of an origin check. One cosmetic leftover: the comment at lines.go:107 still says "whose rc window is open" while the code admits any line newer than the newest release. It's unreachable given the release-* ruleset, so the comment just overstates the code.

LGTM. (E2E (in-tree) still running, unrelated to the tool.)

## What this PR does

Backports to `release-1.7` from `main`, picked by the rules of the
[backport
policy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/docs/release/backports.md)
in merge order. A merged pull request comes as its own commits, picked
with `git cherry-pick -x` so each keeps its author, message and
sign-offs, and a merge commit that carries the original's merge message
with a `Backported-from:` trailer naming it; a squash-merged one comes
as one pick. `backport-batch verify` checks that shape. A pick listed as
changed differs from the commit it came from; `git range-diff
<merge>^1..<merge>^2 <batch merge>^1..<batch merge>^2` shows how. A
conflict or a failing check here is a [backport
task](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/docs/release/backport-tasks/README.md).

### Release note

```release-note
fix(backupstrategy-controller): the ClickHouse (Altinity) and RabbitMQ backup strategy Pods now run a dedicated `backup-http-client` image (alpine + curl + jq + ca-certificates, non-root, ~7 MB) instead of the 349 MB `platform-migrations` image. Air-gapped mirrors need the new `ghcr.io/cozystack/cozystack/backup-http-client` repository.

fix(e2e): a chainsaw assert in the e2e suites keeps polling through a transient API error such as an etcd leader change, instead of failing the suite long before its timeout.

fix(ci): use GITHUB_TOKEN to start the initial packages build when freezing a release line

fix(etcd): the tenant etcd alert etcdHighNumberOfFailedGRPCRequests now counts only the gRPC codes that the etcd mixin and the platform copy of the alert count, so the Canceled watch streams of a Kubernetes API server that stops no longer fire it on every etcd member.

fix(tcp-balancer): HAProxy now takes its fd and thread caps from the replica's memory and CPU limits instead of the node, so a t1.nano balancer is no longer OOMKilled on nodes with many CPUs. maxconn follows the memory limit at about 16 connections per MiB, 2035 on t1.nano, and the pods roll once on upgrade.

fix(kubernetes): the Proxmox cloud-controller-manager now runs v0.16.1, and the Proxmox CCM and CSI driver images are pinned by digest. The v0.15.0 tag referenced before was re-pushed upstream to a build that panics on start, which left every new Proxmox worker with the uninitialized taint.

fix(marketplace): a tapped repository is pinned to a digest instead of following a mutable tag, so moving the tag upstream no longer changes what runs in the cluster; connect accepts oci://...@sha256:... and an optional keyless cosign verify policy (anchored to an exact identity and preserved across re-connects), and with verify flags the CLI verifies the signature and pins the verified digest at tap time.

fix(dashboard): tenant name in the tenant list links to its detail page now (where Delete is), and top level tenants get their Edit button back.

fix(cilium): the IPAM migration hook no longer fails with "Argument list too long" on clusters with more than a few nodes, which blocked the cilium upgrade and every package that depends on networking.

fix(kubernetes): the OIDC bootstrap Job no longer fails to start for a tenant cluster with about 240 or more oidc.users, the bindings now come from a ConfigMap the Job mounts.

fix(clickhouse): a RestoreJob now restores the archive its Backup was taken as, not the newest one. New Backups record the archive name, Backups taken before this release are restored best effort from the newest archive stamped no later than their takenAt, with a warning in the restore pod log. A ClickHouse BackupJob created again under a name whose Backup still exists now fails instead of reporting that Backup as its result.

fix(backups): the backup controller now re-renders the Velero BSL, the default backup strategies and the platform bucket's credentials Secret when their S3 endpoint is stale, so after the platform bucket's BucketAccess is re-granted for a new publishing.host, backups move to the new endpoint without forcing releases by hand.

fix(securitygroups): a SecurityGroup with attachments and no rules no longer leaves an invalid CiliumNetworkPolicy behind; its backing policy is now accepted by Cilium and still allows or denies nothing.

fix(postgres): the init script renders the declared databases in a stable order, so an upgrade that leaves the databases unchanged no longer rewrites the init-script Secret.

fix(mariadb-operator): the MariaDB operator now uses the platform's networking.clusterDomain instead of a hard-coded cozy.local, so replication and User/Database/Grant reconciliation work on clusters with a non-default cluster domain.

fix(redis): an instance with `replicas: 1` now runs one Sentinel instead of three, without a Sentinel PodDisruptionBudget; on upgrade, the PDB the operator created earlier is deleted. Instances with two replicas or more are unchanged.

fix(lineage, kubernetes): the virt-launcher pods of Kubernetes worker nodes are now resolved to their Kubernetes application and marked as managed by Cozystack, so a SecurityGroup attached to a Kubernetes cluster now applies to its worker nodes, not only to its control plane.

fix(api): tenant quota admission now counts the parent pool's usage of extended resources and hugepages, so a child tenant can no longer get a share the parent has already used. After upgrading, updates to existing tenants may be rejected if their quota for these resources exceeds the parent's remaining budget. This includes updates that leave the quota unchanged.

fix(postgres): a Postgres BackupJob now fails as soon as its CloudNativePG Backup fails, with the recorded error, instead of after 30 minutes, and a BackupJob waiting on a CloudNativePG Backup reports a WaitingForCNPGBackup condition with the Backup's phase.

fix(postgres): databases now refuses the PostgreSQL system databases postgres, template0 and template1, and the init job never runs DROP DATABASE on them. A system database a previous version took over is handed back to the superuser on the next upgrade (event trigger removed, ownership and public schema restored, its <db>_admin and <db>_readonly roles dropped). A release that declares one of them must remove the entry before upgrading.

fix(mariadb): a MariaDB BackupJob or RestoreJob whose operator Job failed now ends Failed instead of Succeeded, and a failed backup no longer creates a Ready Backup without an archive. Backups created by failed runs before this fix are not removed; restoring from one can fail or select another dump from the shared prefix.

fix(kubernetes, monitoring): the vmagent of tenant Kubernetes clusters now writes to the tenant's vminsert and labels series with the owning tenant instead of `cozy-monitoring`. Previously no tenant cluster metric reached the tenant's Monitoring.

## What this PR does

Backports to `release-1.7` from `main`, picked by the rules of the
[backport
policy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/docs/release/backports.md)
in merge order. A merged pull request comes as its own commits, picked
with `git cherry-pick -x` so each keeps its author, message and
sign-offs, and a merge commit that carries the original's merge message
with a `Backported-from:` trailer naming it; a squash-merged one comes
as one pick. `backport-batch verify` checks that shape. A pick listed as
changed differs from the commit it came from; `git range-diff
<merge>^1..<merge>^2 <batch merge>^1..<batch merge>^2` shows how. A
conflict or a failing check here is a [backport
task](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/docs/release/backport-tasks/README.md).
