🤖 Generated by the Agentic Engineer — static review of this ownership-unverified draft at
6b5eee94e37a303f4f3bb0eba6d07c4c0970bc54; the branch was left untouched.
One security blocker remains in the new admission boundary.
…-vulnerability Resolves two conflicts: - k8s/bases/apps/github-config/role.yaml — main #3004 already enumerated every managed-resource kind explicitly, superseding this branch's split of the team group out of a resources: ["*"] wildcard. Takes main's version and keeps only the branch's explanatory comment, which now sits above main's team rule; the branch's own team rule was a byte-identical duplicate of it. - cluster-policies/kustomization.yaml — union of both new policy entries.
…m identity The policy matched kinds as Team.team.github.m.upbound.io — kubectl's resource.group shorthand, not Kyverno's group/version/Kind form that every other CRD policy here uses. Nothing matched it, so an Enforce policy would have deployed protecting nothing. Fixed to team.github.m.upbound.io/*/Team, with a version wildcard so a provider bump cannot silently un-protect it. Also closes the identity gap the review raised: the allow-list checked only metadata.name while the provider reconciles spec.forProvider.name, so a Team named platform could point at any GitHub team and the teamIdRef rules would still accept it. Binds forProvider/initProvider name to the object name, and blocks foreign crossplane.io/external-name adoption at creation. Adds kyverno test fixtures covering both, including the escalation itself.

…ions
The rule gated CREATE with a {{ request.operation }} precondition, but the
policy sets background: true and a background scan has no AdmissionReview to
read request.* from. Expressing the scope as a match operation keeps it
background-safe and simply does not select during a background scan.

…al-name rule Addresses the Codex review at 2b57d41. upjet merges initProvider into unset forProvider fields, so the reference rules inspecting only forProvider could be fronted: an approved forProvider teamIdRef alongside a foreign initProvider teamId, or permission: push alongside initProvider permission: admin. Both reference rules now apply every ID, selector, reference and permission constraint to initProvider as well. Removes teams-block-foreign-external-name-adoption. It looked like the natural counterpart to the identity binding but broke legitimate re-adoption: after a rebuild the existing GitHub team must be adopted by the numeric team ID the provider itself writes to that annotation, and accepting only the object name would make Crossplane try to create a team that already exists, so github-config could not recover its own teams. Constraining it safely needs a way to tell our teams' numeric identities from a foreign one plus the provider ServiceAccount excluded; folded into #3144 rather than shipped half-closed.

- Around line 158-160: Replace both exact-admin deny conditions in the relevant
policy rule with permission allow-list validation, permitting only the
explicitly approved permission values and rejecting maintain or custom roles.
Update the rule message to describe the allow-list requirement and add a fixture
covering a maintain grant being denied.
- Around line 19-28: Remove the policy-level validationFailureAction from the
policy spec and add failureAction: Enforce inside each validate rule in the
policy. Preserve policies.kyverno.io/minversion: 1.6.0 and ensure every
validation rule retains enforcement behavior.
In `@tests/restrict-github-team-management/resources.yaml`:
- Around line 50-61: Add two TeamMembership fixtures in
tests/restrict-github-team-management/resources.yaml: one using
forProvider.teamIdSelector and one using forProvider.teamIdRef.name set to
attacker-team. In tests/restrict-github-team-management/kyverno-test.yaml, add
result: fail rows for both fixtures under rule

Learning: When reviewing Kustomize/Helm YAML in this repo, keep the base vs provider overlay split: `k8s/bases/apps/**` and `k8s/bases/infrastructure/**` should contain each app’s full, environment-agnostic configuration (including base-level postRenderer Kustomize patches such as deployment strategy, topology spread, probes, and env injection). `k8s/providers/{docker,hetzner}/**` should only add small provider-specific deltas (e.g., `interval`, `persistence.size`) via patch files (like `k8s/providers/<provider>/apps/<app>/patches/helm-release-patch.yaml`). If configuration is identical across providers (e.g., OIDC/OAuth env vars where `${domain}` is resolved per cluster via envsubst), it belongs in the base and must not be duplicated into provider overlays.

Learning: In the devantler-tech/platform repository, Checkov CI scans source manifests with `--skip-framework kustomize` rather than rendered Kustomize overlays. To suppress a Checkov finding on a base manifest, place the appropriate `checkov.io/skip*` annotation directly in that base YAML file; an overlay patch will not suppress findings reported for the source file.

Learning: For Kubernetes manifests under k8s/bases/, keep workload-related Checkov exception annotations (checkov.io/skip*) in the base manifest when the checked condition is defined there and CI scans that source manifest directly. Do not move these annotations to overlays solely because the base is immutable; keeping them with the workload ensures the disposition applies consistently to every consumer of the base.

Addresses the CodeRabbit review at 5186097. The rule denied the exact value admin, but GitHub also offers maintain and organization-defined custom repository roles, so the guard failed open the moment the tenant selected any other privileged role. Replaced with an allow-list of pull/triage/push (empty being the provider default), applied to forProvider and initProvider alike — matching the allow-list style the rest of the policy already uses. Also covers three conditions no fixture exercised: teamIdSelector, a by-name reference to a non-allow-listed team, and the maintain grant above. The selector condition compares a JMESPath map literal against {}, which is exactly the kind of thing that silently stops matching.

Motivation
The github-config tenant applies a public OCI artifact using org-admin GitHub credentials, so a compromised or unintended artifact could add arbitrary users to our GitHub teams or hand out repository access. RBAC can limit which API groups the tenant touches, but it cannot say which teams — that needs an admission guard.
Description
Adds an admission policy that keeps team management inside the two CODEOWNERS teams: only those teams may be managed, membership and repository grants must go through them rather than a raw team ID, and repository
adminis blocked.Two problems found while finishing this PR, both fixed here:
Behaviour is pinned by new policy tests that run in CI, including one that reproduces the escalation itself.
