signing-service: Dockerfile, K8s manifests (agent-trust), image CI, secret convention
- Dockerfile: multi-stage (golang:1.23-alpine3.21 → distroless/static:nonroot),
  CGO off, trimpath, stripped, UID/GID 65532, read-only rootfs friendly.
- deploy/signing-service/: ServiceAccount, Deployment (2 replicas, probes,
  tight SecurityContext), ClusterIP Service on :8081, NetworkPolicy
  (ingress from agent-trust, DNS egress), example Secret, and README with
  the full dev + prod secret convention.
- .forgejo/workflows/build-images.yml: builds image on push + PR,
  pushes :<git-sha> + :main to harbor.basicstack.de on main pushes only.
  Clone pattern matches validate.yml (sha256 repo, manual git clone).
- README updates: service README gains Deployment section; repo README
  layout now mentions services/signing-service, services/transparency-log,
  deploy/, and the new workflow.

Scope matches DEV-605. OpenBao, OPA and Pocket-ID JWKS stay stubs and move
in their own follow-up subtasks; the prod secret shape is documented so
those subtasks can plug in without reshaping the Deployment.

# signing-service — deployment
Kubernetes manifests for the ADR-0005 signing-service in the `agent-trust`
namespace. The namespace itself is created by
[`deploy/trillian/00-namespace.yaml`](../trillian/00-namespace.yaml); this
directory assumes that file (or an equivalent) is already applied.
## Layout
```
deploy/signing-service/
├── 00-serviceaccount.yaml — ServiceAccount with projected SA token
├── 10-secret-dev.example.yaml — TEMPLATE for the dev-mode Secret
├── 20-deployment.yaml — Deployment (non-root, read-only rootfs, distroless)
├── 30-service.yaml — ClusterIP Service on :8081
├── 40-networkpolicy.yaml — ingress from agent-trust, DNS egress
└── README.md — this file
```
## Apply order
```bash
kubectl apply -f deploy/trillian/00-namespace.yaml # if not yet applied
kubectl apply -f deploy/signing-service/00-serviceaccount.yaml
# Create the dev Secret separately (see "Secret convention" below) — DO NOT
# commit the real values. The .example file is a template, not a secret.
kubectl apply -f deploy/signing-service/20-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/signing-service/30-service.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/signing-service/40-networkpolicy.yaml
```
Reach the service in-cluster at:
```
http://signing-service.agent-trust.svc.cluster.local:8081
```
Health check (also used by Deployment probes):
```
GET /healthz → 200 {"status":"ok"}
```
Sign endpoint (per ADR-0005):
```
POST /api/v1/sign/dsse
Authorization: Bearer <token from SIGNING_BEARERS>
```
## K8s secret convention
The signing-service never pulls secrets from the pod filesystem or a config
map. Every secret value is an **environment variable sourced from one
Kubernetes Secret** named `signing-service-<mode>`. This keeps the SealedSecret
rotation path uniform and lets the Deployment stay identical across modes.
### Dev mode (`-backend=memory`)
Secret: `signing-service-dev`
| Env key | Purpose |
| ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `SIGNING_BEARERS` | `-bearers` value, comma-separated `bearer=subject` pairs |
| `KEY_<SLUG>` | one entry per `key_ref`; value is a hex-encoded 64-byte Ed25519 private key |
Slug rule: upper-case the `key_ref`, then replace `/`, `-`, `.` with `_`. For
`trust-api/rate-change-signer-2026-q4` the env name is
`KEY_TRUST_API_RATE_CHANGE_SIGNER_2026_Q4`.
Mint a dev key:
```bash
cd services/signing-service
go run ./cmd/signing-service -gen-dev-key
# → prints 128 hex chars (64 bytes raw Ed25519 private key)
```
Create the Secret for the cluster (never commit the raw value):
```bash
BEARER_TOKEN="$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
HEX_KEY="$(cd services/signing-service && go run ./cmd/signing-service -gen-dev-key)"
kubectl create secret generic signing-service-dev \
-n agent-trust \
--from-literal="SIGNING_BEARERS=${BEARER_TOKEN}=agent-admin-api" \
--from-literal="KEY_TRUST_API_RATE_CHANGE_SIGNER_2026_Q4=${HEX_KEY}"
```
For the GitOps path, convert the above to a SealedSecret with `kubeseal`
and commit the sealed form under the same filename as the example:
```bash
kubectl create secret generic signing-service-dev -n agent-trust \
--from-literal="SIGNING_BEARERS=${BEARER_TOKEN}=agent-admin-api" \
--from-literal="KEY_TRUST_API_RATE_CHANGE_SIGNER_2026_Q4=${HEX_KEY}" \
--dry-run=client -o yaml | \
kubeseal --controller-namespace=sealed-secrets --format=yaml \
> deploy/signing-service/10-secret-dev.sealed.yaml
```
The `10-secret-dev.example.yaml` file is kept as the shape reference; the
real sealed form is `10-secret-dev.sealed.yaml` (not yet committed — ships
when the first real deployment lands).
### Prod mode (future, out of scope for DEV-605)
Secret: `signing-service-prod`
Planned env keys — kept here so future subtasks don't invent a new shape:
| Env key | Purpose | Subtask |
| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| `OPENBAO_ADDR` | OpenBao server URL (`https://openbao.agent-trust.svc:8200`) | OpenBao Transit signer |
| `OPENBAO_ROLE` | AppRole / Kubernetes auth role name for the signing-service pod | OpenBao Transit signer |
| `OPENBAO_TOKEN` (bootstrap) | optional bootstrap token; prefer SA-token-based login once wired | OpenBao Transit signer |
| `POCKET_ID_JWKS_URL` | `https://auth.basicstack.de/.well-known/jwks.json` | Pocket-ID JWKS validator |
| `POCKET_ID_ISSUER` | `https://auth.basicstack.de` | Pocket-ID JWKS validator |
| `POCKET_ID_AUDIENCE` | expected `aud` claim (e.g. `trust-api`) | Pocket-ID JWKS validator |
| `OPA_URL` | OPA sidecar / service URL (`http://opa.agent-trust.svc:8181`) | OPA policy evaluator |
The matching command-line flags (`-backend=openbao`, `-policy=opa`,
`-validator=pocket-id`) land with the respective subtasks. Until then the
Deployment stays on `-backend=memory` with the dev Secret above; switching
is a Deployment patch and a Secret swap — no manifest reshape.
## Verifying the deployment
```bash
# Pod comes up, probe says OK:
kubectl -n agent-trust rollout status deploy/signing-service
# In-cluster reachability from a throwaway pod:
kubectl -n agent-trust run curl --image=curlimages/curl:8 -it --rm --restart=Never -- \
curl -sS http://signing-service:8081/healthz
```
End-to-end sign check (adjust `BEARER_TOKEN` to the one you stored in the
Secret):
```bash
kubectl -n agent-trust run curl --image=curlimages/curl:8 -it --rm --restart=Never -- \
curl -sS -X POST http://signing-service:8081/api/v1/sign/dsse \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"key_ref":"trust-api/rate-change-signer-2026-q4",
"statement":{"_type":"https://in-toto.io/Statement/v1",
"subject":[{"name":"per_diem_rate/PDR-1","digest":{"sha256":"aaaa"}}],
"predicateType":"https://basicstack.de/attestations/rate_change/v1",
"predicate":{"change_kind":"create","rate_id":"PDR-1"}}}'
```
## Image
Images are built by `.forgejo/workflows/build-images.yml` on every push to
`main` and pushed to:
```
harbor.basicstack.de/basicstack/signing-service:<git-sha>
harbor.basicstack.de/basicstack/signing-service:main (floating)
```
The Deployment currently references `:dev`; a GitOps apply will pin it to a
`:<git-sha>` once the image build pipeline has produced one.
