Split out of #7614 at maintainer request: that PR touches .claude/skills/** and .github/workflows/**, which are hard-stop paths on the contributor merge path. This PR carries only those three files so they can be reviewed in isolation; #7614 keeps the server and Helm-chart work and no longer touches either surface.

⚠️ Merge after #7614

helm-chart.yml renders the chart as #7614 leaves it. Two of its steps assert behaviour introduced there — that autoscaling without the PrometheusRule CRD fails to render, and that the operator-free path still renders. Against today's main those steps fail, because the chart has no scale-out or autoscaling yet. This ordering is real and I have not tried to paper over it: making the step tolerant of both old and new behaviour would turn it into an assertion that passes either way, which is worse than a stated dependency.

Until this lands, #7614 has no chart CI at all.

What's here

clear-caches.yml — the targets matched almost nothing. Measured against phase-rs/phase on 2026-08-22 via gh api --paginate /repos/phase-rs/phase/actions/caches: 796 caches, 8.1 GiB against a 10 GiB ceiling.

target pattern matched
rust rust- 0 — real prefix is v0-rust- (17, 3.48 GiB)
pnpm node-cache-Linux-pnpm- 0 — real key embeds -x64 (2, 0.22 GiB)
binaryen binaryen-version_ 1 — misses legacy binaryen-<ver>

788 caches / 8.01 GiB were unreachable by any target including all, dominated by sccache/ (725) and v0-rust- (17). "Clear rust caches" deleted nothing while the quota stayed full. Fixing the prefixes alone would have introduced a new silent failure: gh cache list --limit 100 caps a pass at 100 entries (measured), so a working rust target would delete 100 of 725 and report success. The delete step now re-lists until a pass finds nothing and stops early if a pass makes no progress. gh cache list also lost its || true, which made a failed list read as "no matching caches" and report success having deleted nothing.

helm-chart.yml — the chart had no CI. helm lint plus four renders: defaults; scale-out with metrics and autoscaling; the same values with the PrometheusRule CRD absent (must fail); and the operator-free path with an externally supplied recording rule (must render). The renders then assert the storage invariant — default stays a single-replica Deployment, scale-out gives every ordinal its own claim — because two processes on one games.db is destructive.

Forbidden-resource assertions are if grep -q X; then exit 1; fi, not ! grep -q X. A !-negated command is exempt from set -e, so the negated form never failed the step and every "must not contain" assertion was vacuous. Verified against bash directly:

$ cat t.sh
set -e
! grep -q 'kind: PodMonitor' has.yaml
echo "AFTER"
$ bash t.sh; echo "exit=$?"
AFTER            # step continued despite the forbidden resource being present
exit=0

Actions are pinned by commit SHA rather than mutable tag, and the checkout gets persist-credentials: false (the job only reads the tree). Worth a maintainer opinion: this makes it the only SHA-pinned workflow in the repo — .github/workflows/*.yml currently has 148 tag-pinned uses: lines and 0 SHA-pinned, and persist-credentials appears nowhere. Happy to switch to tag pins for consistency, or treat this as step one of a repo-wide change. Your call.

SKILL.md — four lines of env-var documentation. PHASE_MAX_CONNECTIONS, PHASE_MAX_GAMES, PHASE_METRICS_PORT, PHASE_REPLICA_ORDINAL are read by phase-server but were missing from the PHASE_* list. Documentation only — no instruction or agent-behaviour change. If this is acceptable back in #7614 I'll move it there and drop it here.

Verification

actionlint clean. Every step's shell logic executed against #7614's chart: scale-out render contains StatefulSet + HPA + PrometheusRule; the no-CRD render fails with an error naming the CRD; the external-rule render succeeds with zero PrometheusRule/PodMonitor; and the rewritten assertion form was confirmed to fire on a resource that is present.

Update (41f0b80): kept in step with #7614's per-kind monitor gating

#7614 now gates podmonitor.yaml per resource (monitoring.coreos.com/v1/PodMonitor
and .../ServiceMonitor tested separately) rather than by API group, because a
partial operator install otherwise renders a kind that is not installed and
fails at apply.

That made this workflow's --api-versions flags stale: passing only the group
form, the scale-out render produces zero PodMonitors — measured against
#7614's chart. The step asserted only StatefulSet, HPA and PrometheusRule, so it
would have gone green on a render that silently dropped both monitors.

Both kind forms are now passed and both are asserted, so the flags are
load-bearing rather than decorative. metrics.serviceMonitor.enabled is false
by default, so the render sets it to reach the second gate. Verified against
#7614's chart: with the old flags kind: PodMonitor count is 0 (the new
assertion fails); with the new flags PodMonitor, ServiceMonitor and
PrometheusRule are each present once.

This is maintenance to keep B consistent with A. The ordering coupling stated
above is unchanged: these steps still require #7614's chart to be merged first.

Update (498b468): cover both advertised scale-out schemes

#7614 now refuses scaleOut.scheme: http while the chart renders its own TLS
routes — the advertised ordinal URL becomes the client's CODE@host share
link, so http would name an address nothing serves. Nothing here exercised
that guard.

Three cases:

case expected
scheme=http, chart ingress on render fails, and the error names scaleOut.scheme
scheme=https, chart ingress on renders one entry route + one per ordinal (4 at replicaMax: 3)
scheme=http, ingress.enabled=false renders no IngressRoute, advertises http://phase-

The https case is what keeps the first honest: without it the step would pass on
a chart that rejected every scheme, not just the contradictory one.

Verified by running the step verbatim against #7614's chart — passes there, and
fails with expected http to be refused while the chart renders TLS routes when
run against the same chart at the commit before the guard landed.

Update (6ca194d): reject autoscaling with no monitor CRD

#7614 gained a guard for a hole its own per-kind monitor gating opened: a
cluster carrying monitoring.coreos.com/v1/PrometheusRule but neither monitor
CRD rendered the recording rule and the External-metric HPA with nothing
scraping the gauges they read. Nothing here caught it.

The must-fail case renders with exactly those capabilities. The control adds
only the PodMonitor kind and asserts PodMonitor, PrometheusRule and HPA all
render — without it the step would pass on a chart that refused autoscaling
outright rather than one that tracks the missing CRD.

Verified by running the step verbatim against #7614's chart: passes at
042faac29, and fails at c7bd28600 (the commit before the guard) with
expected the render to fail with no PodMonitor or ServiceMonitor CRD.

The red helm lint + template here is expected, and is the ordering coupling described in the PR body — not a defect in this PR.

helm lint passes. The failure is the next step: this workflow renders the chart as #7614 leaves it, and against today’s main the chart has no scaleOut, autoscaling, or PrometheusRule yet, so the scale-out render produces no StatefulSet/HPA/PrometheusRule and the assertions fail.

Every step of this workflow was executed by hand against #7614’s chart and passes there: the scale-out render contains StatefulSet + HPA + PrometheusRule, the no-CRD render fails with an error naming the CRD, and the operator-free render succeeds with zero PrometheusRule/PodMonitor.

This check should go green on its own once #7614 merges. I deliberately did not make the step tolerant of both old and new chart behaviour — an assertion that passes either way would be worse than a stated dependency.

Rebased onto current main (which now contains #7614) and classified every red
check. Head is aecc90b1d.

One check was red: helm lint + template. It failed at step 6 of 11, so
every later step was skipped and never reported. I ran all of them locally
against both chart states rather than inferring from the one failure.

step cause
helm template (scale-out + metrics + autoscaling) ordering coupling — asserted kind: StatefulSet, which only existed in #7614
helm template (scale-out, no operator CRDs) must fail real bug, fixed below
the four steps after it never ran; all pass now

The real bug. That step asserted the failure message contained the phrase
prometheus-operator CRDs. The message was reworded when the guard moved from
testing the API group to testing the PrometheusRule resource, and this
assertion silently stopped matching it. The render still failed for exactly the
right reason — the step would have failed on the grep, not on the behaviour.

It now matches monitoring.coreos.com/v1/PrometheusRule, tying the assertion to
the capability under test rather than to wording. Worth naming the class: this
is the same drift that produced the monitor-predicate blocker on #7614 — an
assertion and the thing it describes kept in two places. It stayed hidden here
only because an earlier step was already red.

Current state, all steps run against the rebased tree:

helm lint (default values)                                    exit=0
helm template (default values)                                exit=0
helm template (scale-out + metrics + autoscaling)             exit=0
helm template (scale-out, no operator CRDs) must fail         exit=0
helm template (scale-out, external recording rule, no CRDs)   exit=0
assert the storage invariants                                 exit=0
helm template (scale-out, advertised scheme)                  exit=0
helm template (autoscaling without a monitor CRD) must fail   exit=0

actionlint clean. Every other required check was already green on the previous
head — the red was confined to this job.

Staying in draft until CI confirms green on this head.

Out of draft, and correcting the last line of my previous comment: I said I'd
stay in draft until CI confirmed green, and I've been asked to open it now
instead.

That line is stale for a second reason — helm lint + template has since come
back green on this head (aecc90b1d), so the red the classification above
explains no longer exists. The rebase onto main (now carrying #7614) cleared
the ordering-coupling failure, and the stale-assertion fix cleared the real one.

Remaining checks are the Rust, frontend, WASM and card-data jobs, all of which
were already green on the previous head; this PR touches only
.github/workflows/ and a SKILL.md.

One actionable finding, verified against aecc90b1d and fixed in 8bc6e64.

Fixed — assert the default workload kind

Valid. The step's own comment says the default path must stay a single-replica
Deployment, but it only asserted replicas: 1. I built the exact shape the
finding names — a single-replica StatefulSet — and measured both assertions
against it:

render: Deployment=0  StatefulSet=1  'replicas: 1'=1
  grep -q 'replicas: 1'      exit=0   <- old check PASSES on the bad shape
  grep -q 'kind: Deployment' exit=1   <- new check CATCHES it

So the gap was real rather than theoretical, and the added line closes it.

I did not also add a negative kind: StatefulSet assertion on the default
render. It would only catch a chart rendering both workloads, which
scaleOut.enabled makes mutually exclusive — the realistic regression is the
default flipping kind, and kind: Deployment covers that.

Verification

actionlint clean. Every step re-extracted from the workflow and run against
the chart on main:

helm lint (default values)                                    exit=0
helm template (default values)                                exit=0
helm template (scale-out + metrics + autoscaling)             exit=0
helm template (scale-out, no operator CRDs) must fail         exit=0
helm template (scale-out, external recording rule, no CRDs)   exit=0
assert the storage invariants                                 exit=0
helm template (scale-out, advertised scheme)                  exit=0
helm template (autoscaling without a monitor CRD) must fail   exit=0

CI is green on the rebased head b9bb1db8b, including the job this PR adds.

The rebase changed nothing this PR owns. It replayed the eight commits onto current
main. The three files in scope are byte-identical across it:

git diff c1f0f81a4 b9bb1db8b -- \
  .github/workflows/helm-chart.yml \
  .github/workflows/clear-caches.yml \
  .claude/skills/project-reference/SKILL.md
# no output

The 62-file delta between those two heads is the newer main underneath, not PR content.

So the earlier CodeRabbit review still describes this head verbatim — it reported no
actionable comments, and its one prior finding (assert the workload kind, not just the
replica count, on the default render) remains fixed in the assert the storage invariants
step. The @coderabbitai re-review request above was declined for want of write access on
this repository; by the diff there was nothing new in these files for it to look at.

Checks on b9bb1db8b — all green: helm lint + template, Rust lint, the four Rust test
shards, card data, WASM, lobby worker, frontend, and the aggregate Rust gate. Draft pools
and Tauri are skipped by their own path conditions, and the Superagent supply-chain scan is
neutral, both as on every prior head.

Two targets matched nothing, and two whole families were unreachable by any
target including `all`. Measured against phase-rs/phase on 2026-08-22 via
`gh api --paginate /repos/phase-rs/phase/actions/caches` — 796 caches, 8.1 GiB
against a 10 GiB per-repo ceiling:

  target    pattern                   matched
  rust      rust-                     0        (real prefix is v0-rust-, 17, 3.48 GiB)
  pnpm      node-cache-Linux-pnpm-    0        (real key has -x64, 2, 0.22 GiB)
  binaryen  binaryen-version_         1        (misses legacy binaryen-<ver>, 1)

Uncovered by any target: 788 caches / 8.01 GiB, dominated by sccache/ (725,
3.52 GiB) and v0-rust- (17, 3.48 GiB), plus cardgen- (16). So "clear rust
caches" silently deleted nothing while the quota stayed full.

`actions-rust-lang/setup-rust-toolchain` prefixes its keys `v0-rust-`, and the
pnpm store key embeds the runner arch (`node-cache-Linux-x64-pnpm-…`); the
targets were off by exactly those prefixes. `gh cache list --key` is a prefix
match (verified: `--key binaryen-` returns both key shapes), so each target is
now the shortest prefix covering its family, `rust` covers both Rust families,
`pnpm` becomes `node`, and `cardgen` is added.

Correcting the prefixes alone would have introduced a new silent failure:
`gh cache list --limit 100` caps one pass at 100 entries (measured — `--key
sccache/ --limit 100` returns 100 while `--limit 1000` returns 755), so a
working `rust` target would delete 100 of 725 and report success. The delete
step now re-lists until a pass finds nothing, stops early if a pass makes no
progress (an undeletable key cannot spin forever), and reports a per-prefix
count. `timeout-minutes` goes 5 -> 30, since each delete is one API call.

Verified against a stubbed `gh` over a 744-key fixture: the old step deleted 0
with the old `rust` pattern and 117/742 with corrected prefixes, while the new
step deletes 742/742, leaves other families untouched, and terminates against
an undeletable key. actionlint clean.

The chart had no CI at all: a broken template or a values change that stops
rendering would only surface at `helm install` time, on somebody's cluster.

`helm lint` plus four renders, because the opt-in paths produce entirely
different workloads and a default-values render alone leaves most of the chart
untested: defaults, scale-out with metrics and autoscaling, the same values with
the PrometheusRule CRD absent (which must now FAIL, since hpa.yaml would
otherwise install an autoscaler whose only producer of `phase:wanted_replicas`
was silently skipped), and the operator-free path where the recording rule is
supplied externally (which must still render).

The renders then assert the chart's central storage invariant, since two
processes on one games.db is destructive: the default path stays a single-replica
Deployment, and scale-out gives every ordinal its own claim.

Forbidden-resource assertions are written `if grep -q X; then exit 1; fi` rather
than `! grep -q X`: a `!`-negated command is exempt from `set -e`, so the latter
never failed the step and the "must not contain" half of every no-CRD assertion
was vacuous. Verified against bash directly before rewriting.

Actions are pinned by commit SHA rather than mutable tag, and the checkout is
given `persist-credentials: false` — the job only reads the tree.

`PHASE_MAX_CONNECTIONS`, `PHASE_MAX_GAMES`, `PHASE_METRICS_PORT` and
`PHASE_REPLICA_ORDINAL` are read by phase-server but were not listed with the
other `PHASE_*` variables, so the reference an agent consults to answer "how do I
configure this server" did not mention them.

Documentation only: four lines in an env-var list, no change to any instruction
or agent behaviour.

The chart tests `APIVersions.Has` per resource, and a real cluster's discovery
populates both the group and the kind forms. Passing only the group renders no
monitors at all — measured against the chart this workflow targets, the
scale-out render produced zero PodMonitors — and the step's assertions covered
only StatefulSet, HPA and PrometheusRule, so it would have gone green on a
render that silently dropped them.

Both kinds are now passed and both are asserted. `serviceMonitor` is off by
default, so the render enables it to reach the second gate.

Assisted-by: ClaudeCode:claude-opus-5
The chart refuses `scaleOut.scheme: http` while it renders its own TLS routes,
because the advertised ordinal URL becomes the client's "CODE@host" share link
and would name an address nothing serves. Nothing here exercised that.

Three cases: http with the chart's ingress on must fail and the error must name
the knob; https must still render one entry route plus one per ordinal; and
http with ingress.enabled=false must render no route at all and advertise the
http prefix, because there the operator owns the edge.

The https case is the one that keeps the first honest — without it the step
would pass on a chart that rejected every scheme.

Assisted-by: ClaudeCode:claude-opus-5
The HPA reads `phase:wanted_replicas`, the PrometheusRule produces it, and the
rule reads gauges only a PodMonitor or ServiceMonitor scrapes. A partial
operator install can register the rule's CRD and neither monitor's, and nothing
here noticed: the chart rendered the rule and the HPA with no scrape target.

The must-fail case covers exactly those capabilities. The control adds only the
PodMonitor kind and asserts all three resources render, so the step tracks the
missing CRD rather than passing on a chart that refused autoscaling outright.

Assisted-by: ClaudeCode:claude-opus-5
The no-operator-CRD step matched the failure message on the phrase
"prometheus-operator CRDs". That message was reworded when the guard moved from
testing the API group to testing the PrometheusRule resource, and the assertion
silently stopped matching: the render still failed for the right reason, but the
step would have failed on the grep. It went unnoticed because an earlier step
was red, so this one never ran.

Matching on `monitoring.coreos.com/v1/PrometheusRule` ties the assertion to the
capability under test rather than to wording.

Assisted-by: ClaudeCode:claude-opus-5
The storage invariant exists to keep the default path a single-replica
Deployment, but it only checked `replicas: 1`. A default that became a
single-replica StatefulSet satisfies that string exactly, so the check would
have passed on the shape it is there to prevent — confirmed by rendering one:
`replicas: 1` matches, `kind: Deployment` does not.

Approved at current head 165eebd04720bd4f511004325fb100842d0eb6e2 under explicit maintainer authorization for the reviewed workflow and skill-path changes. Current CI, including Helm lint/template validation, is green; the prior request-for-changes is stale and the resolved workload-kind review finding remains covered.
