 ## 📖 Key Concepts
 
 ### App-of-Apps Pattern
-`_app-of-apps-{cluster}.yaml` is the root Application that manages all other Applications in `infra/`. Kustomize overlays in `infra/overlays/{cluster}/` render the base Applications with per-cluster patches (e.g., swapping value file paths). Supported clusters: `upc-dev`, `upc-prod`, `eks-dev`, `eks-prod`, `aks-dev`, `aks-prod`, `gke-dev`, `gke-prod`.
+`_app-of-apps-{cluster}.yaml` is the root Application that manages all other Applications in `infra/`. Each component in `infra/base/` lives in its own subdirectory (e.g., `infra/base/grafana/`). Overlays can either include **all** components (via `../../base`) or **cherry-pick** specific ones (via `../../base/grafana`, `../../base/prometheus`, etc.). Per-cluster patches swap Helm value file paths. Supported clusters: `upc-dev`, `upc-prod`, `eks-dev`, `eks-prod`, `aks-dev`, `aks-prod`, `gke-dev`, `gke-prod`.

 ### Understanding Secret Management
 
-**NEVER commit plain secrets to Git.** We use **Sealed Secrets** to encrypt secrets before committing.
+Secrets are managed via **HashiCorp Vault** and synced to Kubernetes by the **Vault Secrets Operator (VSO)**. See [Vault Secrets Operator Reference](vault-secrets-operator.md) for full details.
+
+**NEVER commit plain secret values to Git.** Only VaultStaticSecret CRD manifests are committed.
 
 ### Creating a New Secret
 
-#### Step 1: Create Plain Secret Locally
+#### Step 1: Write Secret to Vault
 
 ```bash
-cd ~/dev/k8s/launchpad
-
-# Create secret in private/ folder (Git-ignored)
-kubectl create secret generic myapp-credentials \
-  --from-literal=API_KEY=your-secret-key-here \
-  --from-literal=DB_PASSWORD=super-secret-password \
-  --dry-run=client -o yaml > private/myapp-credentials.yaml
+vault kv put kv/myapp/myapp-credentials \
+  API_KEY=your-secret-key-here \
+  DB_PASSWORD=super-secret-password
 ```
 
-**DO NOT commit this file!** It's in `private/` which is Git-ignored.
+#### Step 2: Create VaultStaticSecret CRD
 
-#### Step 2: Seal the Secret
+Create a YAML file (e.g., `apps/base/myapp/myapp-credentials-vault.yaml`):
 
-Seal your secret:
-
-```bash
-kubeseal --format=yaml \
-  --namespace=myapp \
-  < private/myapp-credentials.yaml \
-  > secrets/myapp-credentials-sealed.yaml
+```yaml
+apiVersion: secrets.hashicorp.com/v1beta1
+kind: VaultStaticSecret
+metadata:
+  name: myapp-credentials
+  namespace: myapp
+spec:
+  type: kv-v2
+  mount: kv
+  path: myapp/myapp-credentials
+  destination:
+    name: myapp-credentials
+    create: true
+  refreshAfter: 30s
+  vaultAuthRef: vault-auth
 ```
 
-#### Step 3: Commit Sealed Secret
+#### Step 3: Add VaultAuth (if new namespace)
+
+If this is a new namespace, also create a `vault-auth.yaml` with a ServiceAccount and VaultAuth CRD. See [VSO Reference](vault-secrets-operator.md#vaultauth) for template.
+
+#### Step 4: Commit and Push
 
 ```bash
-git add secrets/myapp-credentials-sealed.yaml
-git commit -m "Add myapp credentials (sealed)"
+git add apps/base/myapp/myapp-credentials-vault.yaml
+git commit -m "Add myapp credentials (VSO)"
 git push
 ```
 
-#### Step 4: Reference Secret in Application
+ArgoCD syncs the CRD, VSO creates the K8s Secret.
+
+#### Step 5: Reference Secret in Application
 
 Update your `helm-prod-values/myapp/values.yaml`:
 
 ```yaml
 app:
-  envSecretName: "myapp-credentials"  # References the SealedSecret
+  envSecretName: "myapp-credentials"  # VSO creates this K8s Secret
 ```
 
-Commit and push:
+### Updating / Rotating a Secret
+
+**No git commit needed** — just update in Vault:
+
 ```bash
-cd ~/dev/k8s/helm-prod-values
-git add myapp/values.yaml
-git commit -m "Reference myapp credentials"
-git push
+vault kv put kv/myapp/myapp-credentials \
+  API_KEY=new-key-here \
+  DB_PASSWORD=new-password
 ```
 
-### Updating a Secret
-
-To update an existing secret:
+VSO picks up changes within 30 seconds. Restart pods if they don't watch for secret updates:
 
 ```bash
-# 1. Create new version of secret
-kubectl create secret generic myapp-credentials \
-  --from-literal=API_KEY=new-key-here \
-  --from-literal=DB_PASSWORD=new-password \
-  --dry-run=client -o yaml > private/myapp-credentials.yaml
-
-# 2. Seal it
-kubeseal --format=yaml \
-  --namespace=myapp \
-  < private/myapp-credentials.yaml \
-  > secrets/myapp-credentials-sealed.yaml
-
-# 3. Commit sealed version
-git add secrets/myapp-credentials-sealed.yaml
-git commit -m "Update myapp credentials"
-git push
-
-# 4. Restart pods to pick up new secret
 kubectl rollout restart deployment myapp -n myapp
 ```
 
 ### Secret Best Practices
 
-✅ **DO**:
-- Store secrets in `private/` folder locally
-- Always seal secrets before committing
-- Delete plain secrets after sealing
-- Use meaningful secret names
+- Write secrets to Vault via UI or CLI — never commit values to Git
+- Use meaningful secret names matching the KV path convention: `kv/{namespace}/{secret-name}`
 - Document what each secret contains
-
-❌ **DON'T**:
-- Commit plain secrets to Git
-- Share secrets via Slack/email
-- Hard-code secrets in code
-- Use the same secret across multiple environments
-- Store secrets in Docker images
+- Use Vault's versioning for audit trail
 
 ### Where Secrets Are Stored

+
+Platform dashboard that auto-discovers deployed apps via Kubernetes service annotations.
+
+**Discovery mechanism**: Services annotated with `gethomepage.dev/enabled: "true"` appear in the dashboard. Apps not deployed = annotations absent = not shown. Fully dynamic per environment.
+

+| Service | Namespace | Group | Widget |

+| `grafana` | `monitoring` | Monitoring | `grafana` |
+| `karpor-server` | `karpor` | DevOps | none |
+
+**Adding a new app**: Annotate the app's Service in its Helm values:
+```yaml
+service:
+  annotations:
+    gethomepage.dev/enabled: "true"
+    gethomepage.dev/name: "My App"

+- Client secret injected from `microsoft-idp-credentials` Secret via `$(env:MS_IDP_CLIENT_SECRET)` syntax

+
+| Field | Location | Notes |
+|-------|----------|-------|
+| `tenant` | `config.tenant` | **Must be `tenant`, NOT `tenantId`** — wrong key silently falls back to `common` (multi-tenant) |
+| `storeToken` | Top-level IdP field | **NOT inside `config`** — enables broker token storage for KC broker API |
+| `defaultScope` | `config.defaultScope` | Space-separated: `openid email profile User.Read Mail.Send` |
+| `syncMode` | `config.syncMode` | `IMPORT` — imports user on first login |
+
+**Token Storage & Broker Access**:
+- `storeToken: true` persists the Entra access token in Keycloak
+- Realm role `default-roles-forte` includes composite `broker.read-token` — grants all realm users access to broker token API
+- Broker token retrievable via: `GET /realms/forte/broker/forte-entra/token`
+
+**Identity Provider Mappers**:
+- `forte-entra-email`: Hardcodes `emailVerified=true` for Entra-authenticated users (Entra guarantees email verification)
+
+**Required Secret** (`microsoft-idp-credentials`):
+```yaml

+# Vault Secrets Operator (VSO) Reference
+
+## Overview
+
+The platform uses HashiCorp Vault Secrets Operator (VSO) to sync secrets from Vault KV v2 to native Kubernetes Secrets. This replaces the previous SealedSecrets workflow.
+
+**Key benefit**: Secret values can be rotated via Vault UI/CLI without a git commit. Only new VaultStaticSecret CRDs need to be committed.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Vault (KV v2)                VSO                        K8s Secret
+kv/{namespace}/{name}  -->  VaultStaticSecret CRD  -->  Secret in namespace
+                            (polls every 30s)
+```
+
+- **Vault**: Standalone instance in `vault` namespace, KV v2 at `kv/`
+- **VSO**: Deployed in `vault-secrets-operator-system` namespace via ArgoCD
+- **Auth**: Kubernetes auth method — each namespace has its own ServiceAccount + VaultAuth CRD
+
+## KV Path Convention
+
+```
+kv/{namespace}/{secret-name}
+```
+
+Examples:
+- `kv/homepage/homepage-widget-credentials`
+- `kv/argocd/forte-helm-repo`
+- `kv/gitea/gitea-smtp-secret`
+- `kv/keycloak/keycloak-credentials`
+
+## Vault Policy Structure
+
+Each namespace gets a read-only policy:
+
+```hcl
+# Policy: ns-{namespace}
+path "kv/data/{namespace}/*" {
+  capabilities = ["read"]
+}
+path "kv/metadata/{namespace}/*" {
+  capabilities = ["read", "list"]
+}
+```
+
+## Kubernetes Auth Roles
+
+Each namespace has a bound ServiceAccount:
+
+```
+Role: ns-{namespace}
+  bound_service_account_names: vault-auth-{namespace}
+  bound_service_account_namespaces: {namespace}
+  policies: ns-{namespace}
+  audience: vault
+  ttl: 1h
+```
+
+## CRD Reference
+
+### VaultAuth
+
+Per-namespace auth binding. One per namespace.
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: secrets.hashicorp.com/v1beta1
+kind: VaultAuth
+metadata:
+  name: vault-auth
+  namespace: {namespace}
+spec:
+  method: kubernetes
+  mount: kubernetes
+  kubernetes:
+    role: ns-{namespace}
+    serviceAccount: vault-auth-{namespace}
+    audiences:
+    - vault
+```
+
+Each VaultAuth requires a corresponding ServiceAccount:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ServiceAccount
+metadata:
+  name: vault-auth-{namespace}
+  namespace: {namespace}
+```
+
+### VaultStaticSecret
+
+One per secret. Syncs a Vault KV path to a K8s Secret.
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: secrets.hashicorp.com/v1beta1
+kind: VaultStaticSecret
+metadata:
+  name: {secret-name}
+  namespace: {namespace}
+spec:
+  type: kv-v2
+  mount: kv
+  path: {namespace}/{secret-name}
+  destination:
+    name: {secret-name}        # K8s Secret name (must match what apps expect)
+    create: true
+    type: Opaque               # Optional, defaults to Opaque
+    labels:                    # Optional, for secrets that need labels
+      some-label: "value"
+  refreshAfter: 30s
+  vaultAuthRef: vault-auth
+```
+
+## Special Labels
+
+Some secrets require specific labels for correct operation:
+
+| Secret | Label | Purpose |
+|--------|-------|---------|
+| `renovate-env` | `allowedToBeCloned: "true"` | Kyverno secret-cloner policy |
+| `gitea-smtp-secret` | `allowedToBeCloned: "true"` | Kyverno secret-cloner policy |
+| `forte-helm-repo` | `argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: repository` | ArgoCD repository recognition |
+| `forte10x-repo-creds` | `argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: repository` | ArgoCD repository recognition |
+| `mcp10x-repo-creds` | `argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: repository` | ArgoCD repository recognition |
+
+These are set in `destination.labels` of the VaultStaticSecret CRD.
+
+## Namespaces & Secrets Map
+
+| Namespace | Secrets |
+|-----------|---------|
+| `homepage` | homepage-widget-credentials |
+| `renovate` | renovate-env |
+| `gitea` | gitea-credentials, gitea-backup-s3, gitea-smtp-secret, gitea-runner-token |
+| `keycloak` | keycloak-credentials, microsoft-idp-credentials (overlay) |
+| `argocd` | forte-helm-repo, forte10x-repo-creds, mcp10x-repo-creds, argocd-notifications-secret |
+| `mcp10x` | app-credentials |
+| `ts-mcp` | ts-mcp-secrets |
+| `argocd-mcp` | auth-oidc, argocd-mcp-credentials |
+| `dot-ai` | dot-ai-secrets |

+1. Write to Vault:
+   ```bash
+   vault kv put kv/{namespace}/{secret-name} key1=val1 key2=val2
+   ```
+
+2. Create VaultStaticSecret YAML (see template above)
+
+3. Add to kustomization.yaml in the appropriate directory
+
+4. Commit and push — ArgoCD syncs the CRD, VSO creates the K8s Secret
+
+### Rotate a secret value
+
+No git commit needed:
+```bash
+vault kv put kv/{namespace}/{secret-name} key1=new-val1 key2=new-val2
+```
+VSO picks up changes within 30 seconds.
+
+### Check sync status
+
+```bash
+# VaultAuth status
+kubectl get vaultauth -n {namespace}
+
+# VaultStaticSecret status
+kubectl get vaultstaticsecret -n {namespace}
+
+# Verify K8s Secret exists with correct keys
+kubectl get secret {name} -n {namespace} -o jsonpath='{.data}' | jq
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+1. **VaultAuth not authenticating**: Check ServiceAccount exists, Vault role matches SA name/namespace
+2. **VaultStaticSecret not syncing**: Check `kubectl describe vaultstaticsecret {name} -n {ns}` for events
+3. **Secret missing keys**: Verify Vault KV path has all expected keys: `vault kv get kv/{ns}/{name}`
+4. **Permission denied**: Verify Vault policy allows read on `kv/data/{ns}/*`
+
