feat(postgresql): enforce lifecycle and backup contracts - #1987
The PostgreSQL chart adds shared annotations, S3 backup support through workload identity, and configurable PVC retention for standalone, primary, and replica StatefulSets. Backup pods gain configurable security contexts. StatefulSet ConfigMap checksums now hash ConfigMap data.
Changes: Common annotations
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Annotation values and precedence charts/postgresql/values.yaml, charts/postgresql/values.schema.json, charts/postgresql/templates/_helpers.tpl
The chart adds commonAnnotations and merges legacy, common, and resource-specific annotations in that order. Resource-specific values take precedence. The legacy annotations value is marked deprecated.
Resource annotations and tests charts/postgresql/templates/*, charts/postgresql/tests/common_annotations_test.yaml, charts/postgresql/README.md
Chart-owned resource templates render merged annotations. Tests check precedence and propagation, including that common annotations appear on the StatefulSet resource but not its pod template.
S3 backup workload identity
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Backup identity settings and validation charts/postgresql/values.yaml, charts/postgresql/values.schema.json, charts/postgresql/templates/_helpers.tpl, charts/postgresql/templates/externalsecret.yaml, charts/postgresql/templates/secret.yaml
Backup settings add a dedicated ServiceAccount, security contexts, an AWS region, and a Pod Identity toggle. Pod Identity requires a region and, when ServiceAccount creation is disabled, a ServiceAccount name. Backup Secret and ExternalSecret resources are not rendered for Pod Identity credentials.
CronJob identity and upload configuration charts/postgresql/templates/backup-serviceaccount.yaml, charts/postgresql/templates/backup-cronjob.yaml, charts/postgresql/templates/backup-configmap.yaml
When Pod Identity is enabled, the CronJob uses the backup ServiceAccount and supplies the region to the uploader. The upload script uses the S3 endpoint and a region-specific STS endpoint.
Backup validation, example, and guidance charts/postgresql/tests/backup_test.yaml, charts/postgresql/ci/backup-pod-identity.yaml, charts/postgresql/docs/backup-restore.md, charts/postgresql/README.md
Tests cover Pod Identity configuration, ServiceAccount annotations, security contexts, and missing configuration errors. The CI example and documentation describe workload identity and static-credential options.
StatefulSet PVC retention
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Retention settings and rendering charts/postgresql/values.yaml, charts/postgresql/values.schema.json, charts/postgresql/templates/_helpers.tpl, charts/postgresql/README.md, charts/postgresql/docs/backup-restore.md, charts/postgresql/DESIGN.md
Standalone, primary, and replica persistence gain whenDeleted and whenScaled settings. Empty values leave the retention policy unset. The documentation notes the Kubernetes 1.26 feature-gate requirement for Delete.
StatefulSet policies and validation charts/postgresql/templates/statefulset-primary.yaml, charts/postgresql/templates/statefulset-replicas.yaml, charts/postgresql/tests/statefulset_primary_test.yaml, charts/postgresql/tests/statefulset_replicas_test.yaml, charts/postgresql/ci/retention-policy.yaml
StatefulSets render configured retention policies. ConfigMap checksums now hash the ConfigMap data field. Tests and CI configuration cover default and explicit retention settings.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "feat(postgresql): enforce lifecycle and backup contracts" matches the main change set. The PR adds consistent annotation rendering and precedence, explicit StatefulSet PVC retention policies, a dedicated backup ServiceAccount with AWS workload identity, and related docs and tests, all in the PostgreSQL chart. The title is broad, but it names the chart and the two core areas (lifecycle and backup) that the objectives describe. It does not name annotations specifically, but the title does not need to cover every detail.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Direct linked issue #1988 has these coding objectives. The reviewed head (112a8dc) implements each one.
(1) Common annotation precedence [#1988]: postgresql.renderAnnotations in templates/_helpers.tpl merges legacy annotations, then commonAnnotations, then resource-specific annotations. Later values override earlier ones. Verified in the head file. Service, ServiceAccount, ConfigMap, Secret, ExternalSecret, PDB, NetworkPolicy, ServiceMonitor, and StatefulSet metadata use this helper. tests/common_annotations_test.yaml covers legacy < common, Service < common, ConfigMap, ServiceAccount, and StatefulSet metadata. It also asserts that the pod template does not receive common annotations.
(2) Explicit PVC retention for standalone, primary, and replica StatefulSets [#1988]: postgresql.persistenceRetentionPolicy renders persistentVolumeClaimRetentionPolicy in the three StatefulSet templates. Empty values are omitted. Retain and Delete are accepted. Other values fail rendering. The latest commit (fix(postgresql): reject typed retention values) addresses this validation. The validation helper body was not readable in the truncated file read, so this relies on the whole-PR summary. Unit tests cover the absent default and explicit whenDeleted/whenScaled values.
(3) Hardened backup pods and dedicated workload identity [#1988]: the backup ServiceAccount helper and template exist and are used when Pod Identity is enabled. The CronJob applies separate pod, database-container, and uploader security contexts. Tests assert allowPrivilegeEscalation false and dropped capabilities. Validation requires a region and a named ServiceAccount when Pod Identity is enabled without ServiceAccount creation. The ConfigMap sets STS and S3 endpoints for the pod-identity path.
(4) Upgrade-safe defaults and documentation [#1988]: retention defaults are empty, so Kubernetes defaults apply. The legacy annotations value remains a deprecated alias. README, DESIGN.md, and docs/backup-restore.md document the new settings and the Kubernetes 1.26 feature-gate requirement for Delete.
(5) Validation of the chart contract [#1988]: the diff adds CI scenarios (ci/backup-pod-identity.yaml, ci/retention-policy.yaml) and Helm unit tests. The author reports that make contract-check, make validate-chart, and 108 Helm unit tests passed. These results are author-reported. They were not reproduced in this review, and the test code was not executed.
Non-coding acceptance criterion: synchronization of documentation and playground behavior in helmforgedev/site (PR #871) is outside this repository. It is not a coding requirement for this review.
No unmet coding requirement is found in the reviewed evidence.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Each changed area maps to an objective of #1988:
_helpers.tpl annotation, backup ServiceAccount name, retention rendering and validation, and backup validation helpers: objectives (1), (2), and (3).
Annotation wiring in Service, ServiceAccount, ConfigMap, Secret, ExternalSecret, PDB, NetworkPolicy, ServiceMonitor, and headless Service templates: objective (1).
Checksum change in the primary and replica StatefulSets (hashing ConfigMap data instead of the full rendered ConfigMap): this keeps annotation-only changes from restarting pods. It supports objective (1) and the upgrade-safe intent of objective (4).
values.yaml, values.schema.json, README.md, DESIGN.md, and docs/backup-restore.md: objectives (2), (3), and (4).
Unit tests and CI values files: objectives (1), (2), (3), and (5).
The incremental diff since the previous reviewed head could not be read because changed blobs are missing from the checkout. This review therefore relies on the whole-PR summary for the latest commits. No change was found that lacks a connection to #1988.

Add tests for the other templates and for precedence with the legacy annotations value.
The suite lists templates/configmap.yaml but has no test for it. The PR also changes Secret, ExternalSecret, PDB, NetworkPolicy, headless Service, and ServiceMonitor annotations. No test covers them. The legacy annotations value, with its lowest precedence, has no test either.
Add at least one test for the ConfigMap. Add one test for the order annotations < commonAnnotations < resource-specific.

Validate the retention policy values at render time.
postgresql.persistenceRetentionPolicy writes $whenDeleted and $whenScaled without validation or quoting. The schema restricts them to "", Retain, or Delete. Users who run helm template --skip-schema-validation can still render invalid values. The API server then rejects the StatefulSet.
Use quote to render safe YAML. Optionally call fail for invalid values.

Addressed the additional review suggestions as well: retention values are now validated at template render time even when schema validation is skipped, and annotation tests cover ConfigMaps plus legacy < common < resource-specific precedence. The updated chart passes 108 Helm unit tests and the complete 34-layer validation gate.

Preserve the checksum across the upgrade
With unchanged values and ConfigMap data, the new hash input can still change checksum/config and restart the database pods. In standalone mode, this makes the database unavailable until its only pod is ready again.
Add an upgrade-compatible checksum transition in both StatefulSet templates that avoids this rollout while still excluding annotation-only changes.
