| description | Upgrades Helm chart dependencies (PostgreSQL, Vault) in the Chainloop project, including vendorized charts, container images, and CI/CD workflows. Use when the user mentions upgrading Helm charts, Bitnami dependencies, PostgreSQL chart, or Vault chart. CRITICAL - Major version upgrades are FORBIDDEN and must be escalated. |
Upgrading Helm Chart Dependencies
This skill automates the upgrade process for Helm chart dependencies in the Chainloop project. Supports PostgreSQL and Vault (both Bitnami charts).
CRITICAL RESTRICTIONS
Version Upgrade Rules:
- Patch upgrades (1.2.3 → 1.2.4): ALLOWED
- Minor upgrades (1.2.x → 1.3.x): ALLOWED
- Major upgrades (1.x.x → 2.x.x): FORBIDDEN - STOP IMMEDIATELY
MANDATORY: If major version upgrade is detected, STOP the process and inform the user that manual review is required.
Upgrade Types
The skill supports two upgrade types:
- Specific Image Upgrade: Update container image to specific version (chart unchanged)
- Chart Minor Version Upgrade: Update chart to latest minor version (may include image updates)
IMPORTANT: Container images are ONLY updated as part of chart upgrades, never independently (unless Type 1).
Process
1. Identify Upgrade Type
Ask the user which type of upgrade they want:
- Type 1: Specific image version upgrade
- Type 2: Latest minor chart version upgrade
Also ask which chart: postgresql or vault
2. Pre-Upgrade Validation
Check current state:
cat deployment/chainloop/charts/<chart-name>/Chart.yaml | grep
deployment/chainloop/charts/<chart-name>/Chart.yaml | grep
