 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-10-08 11:48 CEST — fix(ci): remove kubernetes-deploy workflow that leaked secrets to logs
+
+- Deleted `.gitea/workflows/kubernetes-deploy.yaml`. It ran on every push to every branch, deployed nothing, and echoed the Vault login response, the Kanidm API token response and the OIDC token response to the job log.
+- Deployment is handled by `gitops-update.yaml`. Repo secrets `VAULT_ROLE_ID`, `VAULT_SECRET_ID` and `K8S_CA_CERT` are now unused.
+- Follow-up outside the repo: rotate the Vault AppRole secret and the Kanidm API token, and clear old job logs.
+
 ## 2026-10-08 11:34 CEST — fix(python): return months_to_show from /api/adults and /api/juniors
 
 - Go already returned `months_to_show` in the JSON API; Python only passed it to its HTML templates. Backported the key so the API contract matches and `make parity` reports 3/3 routes.

 **Tag resolution**: Uses the git tag name. For manual dispatch, uses the provided input.
 
-#### 2. Deploy to Kubernetes (`kubernetes-deploy.yaml`)
+#### 2. GitOps image update (`gitops-update.yaml`)
 
 **Triggers**:
-- Push to any branch
-- Manual dispatch
+- Completion of a successful "Build and Push" run
+- Manual dispatch (with `tag`, `dry_run` and `uh_cli_version` inputs)
 
 **Steps**:
-1. Checkout code
-2. Install kubectl
-3. Retrieve Kanidm token from HashiCorp Vault:
-   - Authenticate to Vault via AppRole (`VAULT_ROLE_ID` / `VAULT_SECRET_ID`)
-   - Fetch API token from `secret/data/gitea/gitea-ci`
-4. Exchange API token for K8s OIDC token via Kanidm:
-   - POST to `https://idm.home.hrajfrisbee.cz/oauth2/token`
-   - Token exchange using `urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange`
-5. Configure kubectl with the OIDC token
-6. Run `kubectl auth whoami` and `kubectl get ns` (deploy commands are commented out — WIP)
+1. Install `tea` and `uh-cli`
+2. Resolve the image tag of the Go image that was just built
+3. Open a PR in `kacerr/home-kubernetes` bumping the `fuj-management` Deployment (namespace `fuj`) to that image
+
+The cluster picks the change up once that PR is merged. CI does not talk to the cluster directly.
+
+> The earlier `kubernetes-deploy.yaml` workflow (Vault → Kanidm → `kubectl`) was removed on 2026-10-08. It never deployed anything and printed credentials to the job log.
 
 **Required secrets**:
 
 | Secret | Purpose |
 |--------|---------|
 | `REGISTRY_TOKEN` | Docker registry authentication |
-| `VAULT_ROLE_ID` | HashiCorp Vault AppRole role ID |
-| `VAULT_SECRET_ID` | HashiCorp Vault AppRole secret ID |
-| `K8S_CA_CERT` | Kubernetes cluster CA certificate |
+| `GITOPS_TOKEN` | Gitea token with write and PR access to `home-kubernetes` |
