Two-Chart Contract

Chart classes

	soctalk-system	soctalk-tenant
Scope	One per MSSP install	One per end-customer
Target namespace	soctalk-system (fixed)	tenant-<slug> (created on install)
Installed by	MSSP cluster admin (helm install soctalk-system …)	SocTalk controller via Helm SDK (triggered by POST /api/mssp/tenants)
How often	Once per cluster lifetime; helm upgrade on version change	Per end-customer onboarding; helm upgrade on SOC stack version change
Value authorship	Hand-written by MSSP admin	Rendered by SocTalk from tenant config; never hand-edited
Validates via	values.schema.json	values.schema.json (SocTalk also validates pre-render)
Version source of truth	Chart.yaml semver	Chart.yaml semver

2. soctalk-system values schema (draft)

Simplified shape; full JSON Schema artifact lives in charts/soctalk-system/values.schema.json.

3. soctalk-tenant values schema (draft)

Matches the tenant config model SocTalk renders from DB. This is the contract SocTalk's controller renders against; values.schema.json validates it on both sides.

# Tenant identity

  id: <uuid>                  # tenant UUID
  slug: acme                  # DNS-safe, MSSP-unique

Compatibility matrix

SocTalk holds a compatibility matrix of which soctalk-tenant chart versions are supported by which soctalk-system version. Attempting to apply an out-of-range combination refuses.

Stored in SocTalk DB:

CREATE TABLE chart_compatibility (
  soctalk_system_version text NOT NULL,
  tenant_chart_version text NOT NULL,
  status text NOT NULL CHECK (status IN ('supported','deprecated','blocked')),
  notes text,
  PRIMARY KEY (soctalk_system_version, tenant_chart_version)
);

Populated at build time from a YAML spec in the repo:

# compatibility.yaml
- system: v1.0.0
  tenant:
    - version: v1.0.0
      status: supported
- system: v1.0.1
  tenant:
    - version: v1.0.0
      status: supported
    - version: v1.0.1
      status: supported
- system: v1.1.0
  tenant:
    - version: v1.0.0
      status: deprecated
      notes: "v1.0.x agents still work but upgrade recommended for FQDN egress changes"
    - version: v1.0.1
      status: supported
    - version: v1.1.0
      status: supported

Enforcement: SocTalk controller refuses helm upgrade with a blocked combo; warns on deprecated but allows; proceeds on supported.

Version pinning policy

SocTalk-authored images

Pinned by digest in soctalk-tenant/values.yaml:

adapter:
  image:
    repository: ghcr.io/gbrigandi/soctalk-adapter
    digest: sha256:abc123...

Upstream OSS chart subcharts (Wazuh / TheHive / Cortex)

Vendored under charts/soctalk-tenant/charts/ as directories, not fetched at install time. Chart.yaml lists them as local dependencies:

dependencies:
  - name: wazuh
    version: "0.3.2-soctalk-v1"
    repository: "file://./charts/wazuh"
  - name: thehive
    version: "5.2.0-soctalk-v1"
    repository: "file://./charts/thehive"
  - name: cortex
    version: "3.1.8-soctalk-v1"
    repository: "file://./charts/cortex"

Vendoring reasons (from chart-audit):

• Apply SocTalk patches without depending on upstream acceptance.
• Stable hash for supply-chain attestation (a future release cosign).
• Reproducible builds.

Render → apply flow

Controller-side flow when POST /api/mssp/tenants arrives:

1. Validate payload against tenant config JSON Schema.
2. Generate secrets (secret-placement §5): wazuh-bootstrap pw, thehive admin, cortex admin,
   cassandra pw, wazuh authd secret.
3. Write K8s Secrets in soctalk-system (per-tenant LLM, integration creds).
4. Write K8s Secrets in (to-be-created) tenant-<slug>: deferred until ns exists,
   deferred until step 6.
5. Insert Tenant row + TenantSecret references (state=pending).
6. Use SocTalk K8s ServiceAccount:
   a. Create Namespace tenant-<slug> with required labels.
   b. Create per-ns bootstrap Secrets (wazuh-bootstrap, thehive admin, etc.).
   c. helm install soctalk-tenant -n tenant-<slug> --values <rendered-values.yaml>
7. Transition state to provisioning.
8. Wait for all Helm-managed resources to be Ready (timeout 15 min pilot-prod, 30 min small-dev).
9. On adapter heartbeat arriving, transition state to active.
10. Emit TenantLifecycleEvent.

On failure at any step:

• Idempotent retry: the controller remembers which step completed (via TenantLifecycleEvent).
• If helm install fails, rollback via helm uninstall + kubectl delete ns.
• Tenant state remains pending with error details; MSSP operator can retry from UI.

On POST /api/mssp/tenants/:id:upgrade (a future release API; runbook):

1. Check compatibility matrix.
2. helm upgrade soctalk-tenant -n tenant-<slug> --values <new-values.yaml>
3. Wait for rollout; on failure, helm rollback.
4. Emit TenantLifecycleEvent.

On POST /api/mssp/tenants/:id:decommission:

1. Mark tenant decommissioning; grace period starts.
2. Document how to retrieve tenant data before teardown (backup/restore runbook).
3. After grace period: helm uninstall, kubectl delete ns.
4. Soft-delete Tenant row with deleted_at timestamp.
5. Retention window: keep row in DB for compliance period.
6. Hard delete after retention.

Chart publishing

Distribution

• (minimal): push as OCI artifacts to ghcr.io/gbrigandi/charts/soctalk-system and /charts/soctalk-tenant: Public, unauthenticated pulls.
• a future release: cosign-signed + SBOM attached.

Install guide uses:

helm install soctalk-system oci://ghcr.io/gbrigandi/charts/soctalk-system \
    --version v1.0.0 \
    --namespace soctalk-system --create-namespace \
    -f values.yaml

Versioning cadence

• soctalk-system version bumps on any API change, schema change, or feature addition.
• soctalk-tenant version bumps on any data plane subchart upgrade or tenant template change.
• Compatibility matrix entry added for every new combination; release notes document supported ranges.

Testing the contract

A later release and tests:

1. values.schema.json validation: helm lint + helm template with sample values: both charts.
2. Round-trip render: SocTalk renders a tenant config → values → apply → read back from K8s → compare. Assert no drift.
3. Subchart pinning: Chart.lock + digests match expectations; CI fails on drift.
4. Compatibility matrix enforcement: unit test for controller.can_upgrade(system=X, tenant=Y) across supported / deprecated / blocked combos.
5. Bundle signing smoke test (a future release): cosign verify on published chart.
