Summary

Ready-to-switch package for approval-based image transfer using one workflow + GitHub Environments.

Code already in this PR

  • Updated .github/workflows/image-transfer.yml (TRANSFER_TARGET → Environment gate → derived destination org → DOCKER_TOKEN)
  • Docs: KT, handover, Environments how-to, single-workflow guide
  • Cutover checklist: release/docs/image-transfer-cutover-checklist.md
  • CODEOWNERS stub for images.txt (uncomment team when ready)

What still must be done in GitHub UI (before/at merge)

  1. Nominate operators vs approvers; grant Write vs Read
  2. Create Environments (transfer-dev2, transfer-qa, …) with required reviewers + Prevent self-review + secret DOCKER_TOKEN
  3. Branch protection so Write cannot merge alone
  4. Merge this PR
  5. Pilot Approve/Reject on transfer-dev2
  6. Remove old repo-level MOSIP*_DOCKER_TOKEN secrets

Do not merge the workflow until Environments + DOCKER_TOKEN exist, or the first run will fail / run ungated.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Image transfers now use one of seven predefined destinations and require approval through the matching GitHub Environment before proceeding.
    • Each destination uses its Environment-scoped Docker token for the transfer.
  • Documentation

    • Added guides and checklists covering setup, approvals, operator responsibilities, cutover, handover, verification, troubleshooting, and the existing transfer process.
    • Updated the transfer instructions and example to reflect destination selection and the approval flow.

Document how to hand over stage-to-stage image transfers from DevOps
to Dev and QA with least privilege, approvals, audit, and stage-scoped
workflows while keeping prod under Release/Security control.

Walkthrough

The image-transfer workflow now uses a required target choice to determine the destination organization and GitHub Environment. The Environment provides the transfer token after approval. New guides document configuration, transfer operations, rollout, and a separate WireGuard approval test.

Changes

Image transfer workflow and operations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Target selection and gated transfer
.github/workflows/image-transfer.yml, release/vidivi/README.md
The workflow replaces free-form destination and secret-name inputs with TRANSFER_TARGET. It maps each allowed target to a fixed organization and uses that target’s Environment and DOCKER_TOKEN. The README describes the inputs and approval flow.
Environment setup and approval controls
.github/CODEOWNERS, release/docs/github-environments-image-transfer.md, release/docs/image-transfer-approval-single-workflow.md, release/vidivi/README.md, release/docs/image-transfer-cutover-checklist.md
The guides document Environment setup, reviewers, secrets, access controls, and transfer approvals. The CODEOWNERS instructions and checklist describe ownership and branch-protection setup.
Transfer handover and rollout
release/docs/image-transfer-handover-plan.md, release/docs/image-transfer-kt.md, release/docs/image-transfer-cutover-checklist.md, release/docs/github-environments-image-transfer.md, release/vidivi/README.md
The guides describe transfer roles, procedures, examples, cutover checks, rollback, and troubleshooting. The checklist covers piloting the workflow and removing old Docker tokens.

WireGuard lifecycle approval guide

Layer / File(s) Summary
WireGuard approval gate and test
release/docs/wg-lifecycle-approval-test.md
The guide describes a fixed wg-lifecycle approval gate, a dry-run approval and rejection test, and troubleshooting. It distinguishes the gate from the target Environment for peer secrets.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 779d2

The new approval-based image-transfer workflow relies on a GitHub Actions configuration that is not supported for jobs that call a reusable workflow. As written, the transfer workflow cannot run, and the approval gate and scoped-token design the docs describe does not take effect. Some production targets also lack documented, protected Environments, and the registry host is not tied to the approved target. Rework the gate design and align the setup guides before merging.

step: keep branch-based runs available only for the dry-run pilot, then require
restricting deployments to the protected production branch before moving
ACTION_PAT or MOSIP_AWS_PEM to wg-lifecycle or setting DRY_RUN=false. Apply the
same sequencing wherever the guide repeats these steps.

Move the Environment gate into an executable job.

GitHub Actions does not allow environment on a job that calls a reusable workflow. This workflow cannot run as written, so it cannot meet the stated MOSIP release-approval requirement. A caller also cannot pass its Environment secret to the called workflow this way. Move the gate and DOCKER_TOKEN lookup into a runner job in mosip/kattu, or use another design that keeps approval and token use in the same gated job. Update the caller and reusable-workflow contracts together. (docs.github.com)

Caller-side change required if the called workflow owns the gate
-    environment: ${{ inputs.TRANSFER_TARGET }}
     uses: mosip/kattu/.github/workflows/image-transfer.yml@master
     with:
+      TRANSFER_TARGET: ${{ inputs.TRANSFER_TARGET }}
       DESTINATION_ORGANIZATION: ${{ needs.resolve-target.outputs.DESTINATION_ORGANIZATION }}
     secrets:
-      TOKEN: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_TOKEN }}

The called workflow must first accept TRANSFER_TARGET, gate its transfer job, and read that job’s Environment secret.

Bind the registry host to the approved transfer target.

The new mapping fixes DESTINATION_ORGANIZATION, but REGISTRY_TYPE and REGISTRY_URL remain independent inputs. After approval, an operator can select harbor or other and supply an arbitrary registry host. The called workflow sends the approved DOCKER_TOKEN to that host with docker login. Validate an approved registry type and host for each TRANSFER_TARGET before releasing the token. (github.com)

Example validation in `resolve-target`
           esac
+          # Populate every approved target/type/URL combination, including
+          # approved Harbor destinations, before enabling the transfer.
+          case "$TARGET:${{ inputs.REGISTRY_TYPE }}:${{ inputs.REGISTRY_URL }}" in

Update the setup steps to match the single-workflow contract.

These steps prescribe secrets such as MOSIPDEV2_DOCKER_TOKEN and an Environment named transfer-prod. The supplied workflow instead reads DOCKER_TOKEN and offers seven specific TRANSFER_TARGET values. The guide also tells operators to merge stage-specific workflow files that this change removes. Align these setup and resolver instructions with the seven target names and the DOCKER_TOKEN secret used by the workflow.

The caller-side Environment gate is not supported for this reusable-workflow job. The Image-transfer job in .github/workflows/image-transfer.yml uses uses; GitHub’s supported-keyword list excludes environment, and the caller cannot pass Environment secrets to the called workflow. The current design therefore does not provide the documented approval gate or token handoff. (docs.github.com)

Update the environment setup instructions near “Prevent self-review” to include
disabling “Allow administrators to bypass configured protection rules” when
every run must require approval, and adjust the subsequent step numbering.

Require a protected-branch rule before moving secrets.

The guide marks the master branch restriction as optional, then permits a branch-based run and later moves ACTION_PAT and MOSIP_AWS_PEM into wg-lifecycle. Without a branch restriction, a run from another branch can execute that branch’s workflow code and, after approval, access the Environment secrets. Restrict deployments to the protected production branch before moving the secrets or setting DRY_RUN=false. Keep branch-based runs available only for the dry-run pilot; enabling a master-only rule earlier blocks the documented branch test. GitHub matches deployment rules against the run’s GITHUB_REF and makes Environment secrets available after protection rules pass. (docs.github.com)

Review comment at @release/docs/wg-lifecycle-approval-test.md at line 41:
Update the deployment guidance around the “limit deployment branches” step: keep
branch-based runs available only for the dry-run pilot, then require restricting
deployments to the protected production branch before moving ACTION_PAT or
MOSIP_AWS_PEM to wg-lifecycle or setting DRY_RUN=false. Apply the same
sequencing wherever the guide repeats these steps.

Comment thread release/vidivi/README.md
Certain destination organizations (e.g., `mosipid`) are protected in the `mosip/kattu` reusable workflow. Transfers to protected organizations require **admin** access on the calling repository. This prevents accidental overwrites of production images by non-admin users.

> **Note:** This protection is enforced in the `mosip/kattu` reusable workflow, so it cannot be bypassed by modifying the caller workflow.
Certain destination organizations (e.g., `mosipid`) are also protected in the `mosip/kattu` reusable workflow (admin-only). That remains in addition to Environment approval.

State the access rule that the reusable workflow enforces.

The mosip/kattu check accepts both admin and maintain for protected organizations. The “admin-only” claim can give approvers the wrong access-control expectation. State both permitted roles, or change the reusable workflow if admin-only access is required. (github.com)

Use a Docker Hub username in the Docker Hub example.

The example retains a Harbor robot username but now selects the Docker Hub URL and registry type. The called workflow logs in to Docker Hub for dockerhub, so this example fails unless that username and the selected Environment token happen to be valid there. Use a Docker Hub username, or make the URL, type, and token a consistent Harbor example. (github.com)
