[AgentIT] Scan replicas: source-repo patch for pulse-agent

AgentIT Scan: replicas for pulse-agent

Targeted findings

• replicas — single replica or no replica count defined -- no redundancy

Expected effect

Clears replicas by setting Deployment/Rollout replicas >= 2 in the app repo (delivery: source, evidence: workload_replicas). App-repo source patch.

Score lift expected in: security, observability, cicd, infrastructure, compliance, data_governance, ha_dr.

Finding-clear proof (post-merge)

After merge + Argo sync, re-Assess this app. AgentIT correlates target_findings on the delivery row — skills stay unapproved until those keys are gone (correlate_delivery_finding → resolved). If they remain, Ledger shows still-present and skills are rejected.

Validation

SSA dry-run (concrete YAML), clear-evidence simulation (contract evidence_kind), property checks for targeted findings, fleet HPA scaleTargetRef gate, and self-managed chart gate (#119) passed for this cluster.

Clear-evidence: replicas: replicas>=2 in deploy/deployment.yaml

Dry-run notes (non-blocking — AgentIT SA Forbidden or optional CRD missing; not treated as invalid manifests):

• cluster_config: pulse-agent-image-scan-task.yaml: Task/image-scan: Not Found
• cluster_config: pulse-agent-resourcequota.yaml: ResourceQuota/pulse-agent-quota: Forbidden
• cluster_config: pulse-agent-kyverno-require-labels.yaml: Policy (kyverno.io/v1) not found on cluster: No matches found for {'api_version': 'kyverno.io/v1', 'kind': 'Policy'}
• cluster pack skipped (validation): Autoscaling

Files

• deploy/deployment.yaml — Generated by skill workload-replicas — Deployment replicas: 2 (clears replicas finding)

LLM review concerns

Final LLM review flagged concerns (non-blocking — human gate remains merge). The Dockerfile patches pin the base image to 'ubi9/ubi-minimal:1' which is a floating major-version tag rather than a pinned digest or immutable tag, defeating the stated purpose of hardening/pinning. Additionally, the Deployment patch references 'pulse-agent:1' as the image tag, which is also a mutable/floating tag rather than a pinned digest.

• Base image tag 'ubi9/ubi-minimal:1' is not a pinned digest — still mutable and not truly hardened
• Container image 'pulse-agent:1' in Deployment is a floating tag, not a pinned SHA digest
• No Service manifest included to match the Deployment selector 'app.kubernetes.io/name: pulse-agent', leaving the workload potentially unreachable
• No resource requests/limits defined on the container in the Deployment patch
• SBOM workflow only runs on push/PR but has no upload or attestation step, limiting its supply-chain value

Deploy path

Argo deploys after merge; AgentIT does not auto-merge. Humans merge on GitHub — that is the only deploy path (no Direct Apply).

Generated by AgentIT Scan — skills are not marked approved until merge + evidence the finding cleared.

Closing: theater / wrong deploy path, same class as #5 — fabricates deploy/deployment.yaml, not pulse-agent's real Helm delivery surface (chart/templates/deployment.yaml + values.yaml's replicaCount).

Root cause fixed in AgentIT #205, merged to main: workload-replicas/workload-health-probes depended on a snapshot mechanism that's always empty by the time this generator runs, so it always fell back to a fabricated stand-in regardless of whether the app had a real chart. Fixed generator now reads the real repo tree (GitHub REST) and patches values.yaml's replicaCount directly when the chart templates replicas: via {{ .Values.replicaCount }} — never rewrites the template itself.

Do not merge this PR. Once the fix is deployed (Tekton build → promote) and pulse-agent is re-Scanned, expect a correct PR against chart/values.yaml instead.
