- Line 84: Update the “removing a tenant application affects only that tenant”
claim in the live-cluster enablement documentation to apply only to independent
application resources. Explicitly qualify or document the dependency and cascade
behavior for nested tenants and shared services such as etcd, ingress, and
monitoring, including parent namespace ownership effects.
- Line 93: Revise the Rollback section to avoid presenting generic HelmRelease
revision rollback as a complete procedure. Document component-specific rollback
behavior for the operator, Platform Package, CRDs, migrations, and stateful
charts, including that completed migrations are not reversed when restoring an
older chart; add a tested runbook or explicitly mark full-platform rollback as
unverified.
- Line 133: Update the security review text around the backlog reconciliation
figures to distinguish the total unattributed findings—131 of 825, approximately
16%—from the attribution defect that caused 95 Unknown-component findings due to
broken baseline normalization. Do not state or imply that the defect explains
all unattributed findings; preserve the surrounding pipeline defect summary and
report reference.
- Line 133: Align the Security Champion status across
GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md, SECURITY.md, and docs/security/self-assessment.md:
if `@tym83`’s assignment is effective, update the latter two documents to identify
the role as assigned; otherwise revise the review statement to qualify the
assignment without claiming triage lacks an owner. Ensure all published
governance statements consistently reflect the actual status.
- Line 24: Update the “Deployment model & constraints” section to scope
requirements by deployment path: state the three-server and x86_64 baseline for
the Talos/full-platform deployment, then separately document generic Linux and
BYOP support, including amd64 and arm64 architectures and k3s recommendations
for single-node or edge deployments. Remove the blanket claim that all
substrates require three servers and x86_64.

💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
Cozystack supports production-ready deployments on single-node edge environments for both amd64 and arm64 architectures [1]. While Talos Linux is the recommended operating system for production environments due to its security and operational advantages, Cozystack can be deployed on generic Kubernetes distributions (such as k3s, kubeadm, or RKE2) using the isp-full-generic bundle [1]. For single-node and edge deployments, k3s (v1.32+) is the specifically recommended Kubernetes distribution [1]. When deploying in these configurations, ensure that: 1. Architecture Compatibility: The platform natively supports both amd64 and arm64 [1]. 2. Kubernetes Configuration: Your Kubernetes distribution must be configured to exclude built-in networking, storage, and ingress components, as Cozystack manages these via Cilium/KubeOVN, LINSTOR, and NGINX respectively [1]. 3. CIDR Matching: The podCIDR and serviceCIDR in your Cozystack configuration must match your underlying Kubernetes cluster defaults (e.g., 10.42.0.0/16 and 10.43.0.0/16 for k3s) [1]. 4. API Endpoint: Single-node clusters require explicit configuration for the apiServerEndpoint to ensure connectivity [1]. The Cozystack platform is designed to maintain consistent operational behavior across these varied deployment environments, provided the underlying host system meets the requirements (Ubuntu 22.04+ or Debian 12+, kernel 5.x+ with systemd) [1].

Scope the hardware requirements by deployment path. The v1.6 generic-Kubernetes/BYOP guide supports amd64 and arm64, and recommends k3s for single-node and edge deployments. It describes Talos as recommended for new production deployments, but does not impose three servers or x86_64 on every substrate. State the three-server baseline separately for the Talos/full-platform path, then document the generic Linux and BYOP requirements independently: cozystack.io.

Scope the tenant-deletion availability claim.
The v1.6 tenant documentation states that nested tenants can inherit the parent tenant's etcd, ingress, and monitoring services. The tenant chart propagates those references to child workloads, and child namespaces have an owner reference to the parent namespace. Deleting a parent tenant or shared component can therefore disrupt child workloads. Limit “removing a tenant application affects only that tenant” to independent application resources, or document the tested dependency and cascade behavior. (cozystack.io)

💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In Cozystack, rollback strategies depend on the context of the component being managed [1]. The system defines three primary approaches for rolling back a Package, ordered from most to least recommended: 1. GitOps Rollback (Recommended): You should push the previous chart version to the OCI registry [1]. Flux will detect this change and automatically trigger an upgrade to the earlier version through the standard reconciliation flow [1]. 2. Controlled Rollback: Suspend the HelmRelease, execute a helm rollback, fix the chart version in the registry, and then resume the HelmRelease to allow Flux to reconcile with the correct chart [1]. 3. Emergency Rollback: If an immediate fix is required, you can run helm rollback directly and then use flux suspend helmrelease to prevent Flux from re-applying the newer, problematic version [1]. Note that this method bypasses GitOps and should be reserved for emergencies [1]. For data-specific rollbacks (e.g., application state), Cozystack supports RestoreJobs [2]. You can choose between in-place restoration (faster but destructive) or restoration to a freshly provisioned copy (safer for validation) by adjusting the targetApplicationRef [2]. When performing cluster-wide upgrades or maintenance, always ensure you have protected critical resources by annotating the cozy-system namespace and the cozystack-version ConfigMap with helm.sh/resource-policy=keep to prevent accidental deletion [3].

Document rollback as component-specific, not as a generic HelmRelease revision rollback. Generated Package HelmReleases retain five revisions, but this only configures history. The platform migration hook runs only when cozystack-version is lower than the target and does not reverse completed migrations. Restoring an older chart can therefore leave the cluster at a newer migration state. Add a tested runbook for the operator, Platform Package, CRDs, migrations, and stateful charts, or mark full-platform rollback as unverified.

| * **How the CVE-scanning pipeline works.** Discovery walks each repository for Go modules (`go.mod`, direct dependencies), base images from Dockerfile `FROM` directives, and container images referenced in `values.yaml` under `packages/apps/*`, `packages/system/*` and `packages/core/*`. Trivy then scans both the repository filesystem — which is where transitive Go dependencies and lock files are actually covered, since discovery itself reads only direct requirements — and every resolved container image, against NVD, vendor advisories and the GitHub Advisory Database. **A known limitation:** image references assembled at render time by the `cozy-lib.image` helper are not literal strings in `values.yaml` and are therefore invisible to values-file discovery, the same blind spot that led to disabling Renovate's `helm-values` manager. Those images are covered only insofar as they appear elsewhere; closing the gap requires resolving refs through the rendered chart rather than the values file. CRITICAL findings are scanned and reported every 6 hours; HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW are collected into a weekly report. Four filters run **before** an issue is created: findings with no upstream fix older than 365 days; dev and build-only dependencies (`golang:`/`node:`/`python:` images, `core/testing`, `hack/`, `e2e/`); CVEs already carrying a maintainer triage decision; and findings with no severity assigned in any database. As a result, every new **actionable** CVE becomes a tracked issue with severity labels, affected components, fix version and a triage checklist, while roughly 20–30% of raw output is suppressed as noise. Triage decisions are persisted, so a settled finding is not re-reported. | ||
| * **Public verifiability of the pipeline — an open problem.** The pipeline, its reports and its triage state live in `cozystack/security-scanner`, which returns 404 to anyone outside the organization, so **none of the above is currently checkable by a reviewer without privileged access.** The line that needs drawing is not per-repository but per-artifact, and it falls in a specific place: **severity-level aggregate counts are publishable; naming an individual finding that is not yet fixed is not**, because a CVE ID plus an affected package plus this project's public, version-pinned component list is enough to locate unpatched exposure in a running deployment. Against that test, the pipeline policy (`SECURITY_PIPELINE_POLICY.md`), the severity and SLA matrix (`SECURITY_TRIAGE_MATRIX.md`), the finding status model (`SECURITY_FINDING_STATUS_MODEL.md`) and the scanning scripts hold no finding data and are publishable as they stand — and they are the part that actually evidences the control. Monthly reports for every month the pipeline has run are now published in-tree at [`docs/security/reports/`](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/tree/main/docs/security/reports), with identifiers withheld unless the fix is merged and released and a generator guard that refuses to emit a file containing an unreleased one. They are accompanied by a [backlog reconciliation](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/docs/security/reports/reconciliation-2026-08.md) auditing every tracked finding against what the project actually shipped. That audit revised the disclosure rule in two directions that make it more open: findings with no upstream fix will be named with mitigation guidance, since there is nothing to wait for and an adopter needs to know when a mitigation is the only available control; and remediation is no longer attributed to individual months, because a count of still-open findings crossed with one month's publicly enumerable component bumps narrows the search for unpatched exposure more than a bare count does. What remains is publishing the pipeline's own policy documents and scanning scripts, which hold no finding data. `[maintainers: publish SECURITY_PIPELINE_POLICY.md, SECURITY_TRIAGE_MATRIX.md, SECURITY_FINDING_STATUS_MODEL.md and the scanning scripts, so the method is auditable independently of the numbers]` | ||
| * **Acting on SCA & timescale.** Two tracks with distinct **targets**. **Reported vulnerabilities** (Cozystack-specific code, packaging, defaults, integration logic) follow [SECURITY.md](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/SECURITY.md): acknowledgement ≤3 business days, initial triage ≤7 business days, remediation targets Critical ≈14 days, High ≈30 days, Medium ≈90 days, Low next release, under a coordinated-disclosure window of up to 90 days. **Scanner findings in bundled upstream components** are a separate track with a tighter triage clock: Critical triaged within 1 business day against a 7-day fix target, High within 3 business days / 30 days, Medium within 10 business days / 90 days, Low within 30 days best-effort. Triage follows an explicit decision tree (is the CVE in a shipped artifact rather than dev/test tooling; is the vulnerable path reachable in Cozystack's usage; has the distribution already backported the fix; is an upstream fix available) and resolves to one of `confirmed`, `false-positive`, `accepted-risk`, `in-progress` or `fixed`. Confirmed findings ship as a pinned-component version bump in the next Cozystack release, or as a patch release on a supported line when severity warrants it. **Attainment is uneven, and an audit of the pipeline's own output found its state misleading in both directions.** Detection keeps up. **Triage does not**: the backlog was decided in a single bulk pass rather than continuously, and the rotating role that owns the triage clock is defined but unassigned — that is the genuine unmet target. **Remediation, however, is happening and the tracker cannot see it**, because nothing writes back from the main repository and so no finding has ever been marked fixed. Reconciling every tracked finding against merged changes, release tags and the pipeline's own weekly scan reports establishes two things. First, a clear majority of confirmed findings relate to a component whose in-tree version now carries the fix, concentrated in a single remediation wave in June 2026 rather than a steady stream. Second, four component bumps are available upstream and not yet taken. The same audit found that **57% of the backlog was never applicable or cannot be assessed** — the largest block being findings against packages that contain no executable vulnerable code, chiefly kernel headers, since a container never provides a running kernel. Reachable exposure in a stock installation is estimated at 2–5% of the tracker. Seven defects were found in the pipeline itself, including deduplication by CVE identifier alone and a broken image-attribution step that left 16% of findings unattributable. Figures, method and defect list: [backlog reconciliation](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/docs/security/reports/reconciliation-2026-08.md). `[maintainers: fill the Security Champion role, close the write-back loop, and take the four bumps that are available upstream and not yet pulled in]` | ||

Confirmed findings ship as a pinned-component version bump in the next Cozystack release, or as a patch release on a supported line when severity warrants it. **Attainment is uneven, and an audit of the pipeline's own output found its state misleading in both directions.** Detection keeps up. **Triage now has an owner, and continuous attainment is what is left to demonstrate.** The backlog was decided in a single bulk pass rather than continuously, because the rotating role that owns the triage clock, though defined, was unassigned; that role has now been assigned to @tym83, who runs a weekly triage pass, so sustained continuous attainment of the triage SLAs is the remaining target rather than the vacancy itself. **Remediation, however, is happening and the tracker cannot see it**, because nothing writes back from the main repository and so no finding has ever been marked fixed. Reconciling every tracked finding against merged changes, release tags and the pipeline's own weekly scan reports establishes two things. First, a clear majority of confirmed findings relate to a component whose in-tree version now carries the fix, concentrated in a single remediation wave in June 2026 rather than a steady stream. Second, four component bumps are available upstream and not yet taken. The same audit found that **57% of the backlog was never applicable or cannot be assessed** — the largest block being findings against packages that contain no executable vulnerable code, chiefly kernel headers, since a container never provides a running kernel. Reachable exposure in a stock installation is estimated at 2–5% of the tracker. Seven defects were found in the pipeline itself, including deduplication by CVE identifier alone and a broken image-attribution step that left 16% of findings unattributable. Figures, method and defect list: [backlog reconciliation](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/docs/security/reports/reconciliation-2026-08.md). `[maintainers: close the write-back loop and take the four bumps that are available upstream and not yet pulled in]` |

Verdict
NOT LGTM
Most of this holds up. I checked the version pin, the removal of the isolated tenant field, the policy.cozystack.io/allow-to-* labels, the SBOM default, the no-compliance-attestation sentence and the install-path answers against the tree, and they are accurate. But a document heading to the TOC is judged on the claims that fail, and five do.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md:51, the citation offered as live tracking is closed - [MAJOR]
GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md:4, the pinning obligation is deleted in the PR whose title is to pin - [MAJOR]
GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md:10, the new header's taxonomy is refuted by the document it describes - [MINOR]
GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md:24, the Hetzner guide is for a different Hetzner product - [MINOR]
GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md:151, the CODEOWNERS gate names one person out of six
Notes
- Line 24 still describes four governance roles including Directors, with a vote per Director.
#4296removes that role fromGOVERNANCE.mdand does not touch this line; this diff does not either. One of the two PRs has to fix it. - Line 151 keeps the marker asking someone to surface the rotation cadence into
SECURITY.md.#4223does exactly that, so the marker retires itself once that lands. - The header states the Security Champion role is now held, and the only evidence in the tree is a commit in this PR by the person named.
#4223puts it inSECURITY.md, which is where an auditor would look; until then the claim rests on itself. Worth splitting out of an editorial PR.

[MAJOR] the citation offered as live tracking is closed
The added sentence says v1.0.0 API stabilization is tracked in #1251, sitting directly beside the claim that an API Stability Policy is still a roadmap item.
$ gh api repos/cozystack/cozystack/issues/1251 --jq "{state, state_reason, closed_at}"
{"closed_at":"2026-04-09T16:58:11Z","state":"closed","state_reason":"completed"}
The issue is titled "API stabilization and release v1.0.0" and its body is a short pre-1.0 checklist with nothing about alpha/beta/stable lanes or a deprecation window. Meanwhile the project ships v1.6.3 and the application API group is still v1alpha1. A reviewer following the single citation offered for "this is tracked" lands on a tracker marked completed for work that visibly has not happened.
Cite the roadmap entry that actually carries the item, or say plainly that nothing tracks it yet.

[MAJOR] the pinning obligation is deleted in the PR whose title is to pin
The header used to read: "repo links are on main and should be pinned to the submitted tag before final submission". This diff replaces it with "repo links are on main." and leaves every link untouched.
$ grep -oE "cozystack/cozystack/(blob|tree)/main/" GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md | wc -l
43
43 repository references still resolve against a branch that moves. The document pins its own version to a release while its evidence keeps drifting, so what a TOC reviewer opens at those links months from now is not what was submitted, and the one sentence that acknowledged the gap has been removed rather than acted on.
Either pin the links to the submitted tag, or keep the clause that says they still need pinning.
| - **Description:** Cozystack is a free, Apache-2.0 open-source platform and framework for building clouds. It turns a set of bare-metal servers into a system with a native Kubernetes REST API for spawning Kubernetes clusters, Databases-as-a-Service, virtual machines, load balancers, HTTP-caching and other services. It is a CNCF Sandbox project and a Certified Kubernetes distribution. | ||

Wherever repository evidence settles an answer, it has been written and verified against the tree; the remaining `[maintainers: …]` markers are of two kinds, and only the first kind blocks submission.

The items still marked `[maintainers: …]` fall into four kinds, none of which can be closed by editing this document: **measurements** — load/scale test results and tested maximums (nodes, tenants, VMs, PVs) with methodology, measured baseline resource overhead of the platform components, and the upgrade→downgrade→upgrade CI matrix and its results; **maintainer confirmations of runtime behavior** — whether platform upgrades trigger Talos node reboots, whether any core-component change requires a control-plane restart, CRD cleanup on full uninstall, and any explicit circuit-breaker usage; **a governance/publication step** — surfacing the security-response-team rotation and diversity policy into the public `SECURITY.md` (a rotating Security Champion role with a fixed term and handoff overlap is defined in the CVE-scanning pipeline's own governance document, which is unpublished; the role itself is now held by @tym83, so surfacing the cadence into `SECURITY.md` is the remaining step); and **organization actions** — closing the SCA write-back loop and publishing the CVE-scanning pipeline's policy documents and scanning scripts from the private `cozystack/security-scanner` repository so the method is auditable independently of the numbers. The aggregate security reporting itself is already published at [`docs/security/reports/`](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/tree/main/docs/security/reports). |

[MAJOR] the new header's taxonomy is refuted by the document it describes
The rewritten banner claims every remaining [maintainers: …] marker falls into exactly four kinds, and that none "can be closed by editing this document".
Lines 144 and 145 are still-open [maintainers: confirm] markers about third-party attribution notices. They are not measurements, not runtime-behaviour confirmations, not the one governance/publication step and not an organisation action, so they fit none of the four. They are also settleable from the tree, which is the other half of the claim, and the answer refutes the prose beside them:
$ ls NOTICE
ls: NOTICE: No such file or directory
Line 144 says notices are "retained in-file / in LICENSE/NOTICE", naming a file the repository does not have.
The header this PR replaces was honest about the same state: it said some editorial markers were still closable from the tree. The replacement asserts the opposite while leaving the markers in place.
Either close those two markers, or narrow the header's claim to what is true.
| * **Primary use case.** Turn bare-metal servers into a multi-tenant cloud exposing a Kubernetes-native REST API for self-service provisioning of tenant Kubernetes clusters, VMs, managed databases, load balancers and caching. | ||
| * **Additional use cases.** Private/hybrid cloud; managed-services platform for providers; dev/test environments; AI-ready GPU infrastructure; on-prem VMware/vSphere replacement. | ||
| * **Explicitly unsupported.** Cozystack is a **full distribution that owns the cluster and the nodes** (Talos-based) — it is not an add-on installed into an existing, externally-managed production Kubernetes cluster, is not a public-cloud managed-Kubernetes add-on, requires **a minimum of 3 servers**, and targets **x86_64** (no Windows nodes). Single-node/2-node production is discouraged. | ||
| * **Deployment model & constraints.** Cozystack is primarily deployed as a **full Talos-based distribution that owns the nodes** (the recommended path), but it is **not Talos-only**: it can also be installed on **generic Linux** (Ubuntu/Debian/RHEL/Rocky/openSUSE) via the Ansible collection, which bootstraps k3s, or onto an **existing / bring-your-own Kubernetes** cluster (the generic-Kubernetes install); provider-specific guides exist for Hetzner Cloud, Oracle Cloud (OCI) and Servers.com. Regardless of substrate it requires **a minimum of 3 servers**, targets **x86_64** (no Windows nodes), and single-node/2-node production is discouraged. |

[MINOR] the Hetzner guide is for a different Hetzner product
Both added mentions say "Hetzner Cloud" (also at line 56). The provider guide they point at covers Hetzner dedicated bare-metal servers on Robot: it requires servers deployed on Hetzner robot, uses vSwitch for private networking between nodes, and replaces Cozystack's default MetalLB with RobotLB driven by the Hetzner API token.
Hetzner Cloud is a separate product with a separate API. An adopter reading the deployment-model answer will plan for cloud VMs and find a guide for dedicated hardware, and a TOC reviewer checking the claim finds the same mismatch.
Say "Hetzner dedicated servers (Robot)".

[MINOR] the CODEOWNERS gate names one person out of six
The marker says the change "requires Andrei Kvapil (@kvaps) review as CODEOWNER", which reads as one named maintainer personally gating it. .github/CODEOWNERS:75 lists six owners for that path, so approval from any of the others satisfies the check just as well. As written it puts a dependency on a single person that the repository configuration does not impose.

Cozystack v1.6 Hetzner RobotLB hetzner-robotlb-credentials API token load balancer
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In Cozystack v1.6, RobotLB is the required load balancer component when deploying on Hetzner [1][2]. To enable RobotLB, you must replace the default MetalLB in your platform configuration by setting cozystack.metallb in disabledPackages and cozystack.hetzner-robotlb in enabledPackages [1][2]. RobotLB requires a Kubernetes Secret named hetzner-robotlb-credentials in the cozy-hetzner-robotlb namespace to authenticate with the Hetzner Cloud API [1][3]. This secret must contain the ROBOTLB_HCLOUD_TOKEN, which is a Read & Write API token generated from your Hetzner Cloud project [1][3][4]. Depending on your networking setup, the secret may require an additional field [1][3]: 1. If using a private network (vSwitch), include the ROBOTLB_DEFAULT_NETWORK field with your network name or ID [1][3]: kubectl create secret generic hetzner-robotlb-credentials \ --namespace=cozy-hetzner-robotlb \ --from-literal=ROBOTLB_HCLOUD_TOKEN="<your-token>" \ --from-literal=ROBOTLB_DEFAULT_NETWORK="<your-network-name>" 2. If using only public IPs (no vSwitch), omit the ROBOTLB_DEFAULT_NETWORK field [1][3]: kubectl create secret generic hetzner-robotlb-credentials \ --namespace=cozy-hetzner-robotlb \ --from-literal=ROBOTLB_HCLOUD_TOKEN="<your-token>" When using public IPs, RobotLB targets node ExternalIPs [1][3]. It is recommended to install local-ccm to ensure these addresses are automatically assigned to the nodes' status fields [1][3].

Qualify the provider API claim.
The Hetzner/Robot deployment enables RobotLB, which calls the Hetzner Cloud API and requires the ROBOTLB_HCLOUD_TOKEN in hetzner-robotlb-credentials. The unqualified “no external cloud-provider API calls” and “everything is on-prem” statements are therefore inaccurate. Scope them to the core platform or document the provider-specific API calls and credentials. (Cozystack Hetzner guide)

Verdict
NOT LGTM
Round 1 is fully closed: the #1251 citation is gone, the pinning clause is back, Hetzner reads Robot in both places, and the CODEOWNERS marker no longer names one person out of six. What blocks now is newer: one claim was rewritten to match a governance file that has not changed yet, and two markers went stale while this branch sat.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md:20, Governance description contradicts the GOVERNANCE.md it cites
- [MINOR]
GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md:151, The rotation marker asks for work that has already shipped
- [MINOR]
GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md:6, Bumping Date Updated re-dates a nightly-CI claim that has since changed
Caveats
- Sampled the rest of the diff's corrections against the tree and they hold: v1.6.3 as latest stable, the removed
isolatedtenant field, thepolicy.cozystack.io/allow-to-*labels, the SBOM statement, the compliance self-assessment wording. - The banner's closing sentence about attribution markers being resolved in place reads as intent rather than state;
:144-:145still carry[maintainers: confirm]and theNOTICEfile they name does not exist. Consistent with an open editorial item, but "are to be resolved in place" would say it plainly. - Commit
cc1160e2b's message is written to the review thread rather than to a future reader ofgit log.

The promotion path is defined in [CONTRIBUTOR_LADDER.md](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/CONTRIBUTOR_LADDER.md): **Community Participant → Contributor → Reviewer → Maintainer**, with concrete criteria (Reviewer: ≥15 PRs/yr, ≥20 reviews, ≥6 months, two sponsors from different employers; Maintainer: ≥6 months as Reviewer, ≥10 h/month). Promotions are done by pull request against the roster files in the repository root and `.github/`: [`.github/CODEOWNERS`](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/.github/CODEOWNERS) records the area-scoped Reviewer role and gates merges on the matching paths, and [`MAINTAINERS.md`](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/MAINTAINERS.md) carries three sections — Active Maintainers, Reviewers and Emeritus Maintainers — naming people, while `CODEOWNERS` is the authoritative path-to-Reviewer mapping. The two sets are deliberately different: a Reviewer owns a code area, a Maintainer is responsible for the whole project. |

[MAJOR] Governance description contradicts the GOVERNANCE.md it cites
This line now states three roles and one vote per Maintainer. GOVERNANCE.md on main still defines four roles and still gives Directors a vote; the removal lives in #4296, which is open.
$ sed -n 20p GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md | grep -o "three roles[^.]*\."
three roles — **Users, Contributors, Maintainers** — decide by consensus, falling back to a simple-majority vote (one vote per Maintainer).
$ gh api repos/cozystack/cozystack/contents/GOVERNANCE.md --jq .content | base64 -d | sed -n "58p;120p"
* **Directors:** Non-technical project leaders.
The voting process is a simple majority in which each maintainer and director receives one vote.
Last round this file was wrong in the opposite direction, which is why the two only agree as a pair: #4296 lands first, this one right after, and the CNCF snapshot is not filed between them. Worth saying so in both PR bodies so whoever merges does not split them.

[MINOR] The rotation marker asks for work that has already shipped
#4223 merged and SECURITY.md on main now carries the 6-month rotation, the one-week handoff overlap, the diversity statement and the current champion. This marker, and the banner at :10 calling the policy unpublished with surfacing it as the remaining step, are both stale as of that merge.

[MINOR] Bumping Date Updated re-dates a nightly-CI claim that has since changed
The diff moves Date Updated from 2026-08-10 to 2026-09-11. The paragraph at :86 is untouched and still reads that nightly "has failed every scheduled run since 2026-08-02" and that "Six of its last twenty-four scheduled runs passed".
$ gh run list --repo cozystack/cozystack --workflow nightly.yaml --event schedule --limit 24 --json conclusion --jq 'group_by(.conclusion)[] | "\(.[0].conclusion): \(length)"'
failure: 20
success: 4
$ gh run list --repo cozystack/cozystack --workflow nightly.yaml --event schedule --limit 40 --json conclusion,createdAt --jq '[.[] | select(.conclusion=="success")] | .[0:2][] | .createdAt'

2026-08-17T02:29:37Z
Both halves of the sentence are now wrong, and in the project's favour, which is the expensive kind of error in a document advertising how carefully it was checked. Any PR that moves the date should re-verify the time-anchored claims it re-dates.

| * **Enable/disable in a live cluster.** On the Talos and generic-Linux paths Cozystack is the distribution that owns the cluster, so "enablement" = installing the operator bundle on the management cluster; on the bring-your-own-Kubernetes path it is installed onto an existing cluster instead.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Fix the nightly-run date boundary.
The paragraph records a successful run on September 3, 2026, but then states that every scheduled run “since 2026-09-03” failed. Use “after 2026-09-03” or “since 2026-09-04” if the September 3 run should be included as the isolated pass.

Verdict
NOT LGTM
Round 2 is fully closed and I checked each one against live state rather than wording: #4296 landed first as asked, so the governance sentence is now true; the rotation marker is retired and SECURITY.md carries the policy; the nightly numbers match gh run list exactly. Two claims elsewhere in the document do not survive the same check, and both are the kind a CNCF reviewer runs into within a minute of opening cozystack.io.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md:41, The compliance answer denies material the project publishes on its own site
- [MAJOR]
GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md:26, One of the two case studies of production use is the project writing about its own dev tool
- [MAJOR]
GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md:4, Commit cc1160e addresses the review thread, and this repo merges without squashing
- [MINOR]
GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md:86, The refreshed CI sentence will expire the same way the old one did
[MAJOR] commit cc1160e2b, the message addresses the review thread, and this repository merges without squashing
docs/agents/contributing.md:90-92 lists review-iteration vocabulary in a commit body as something that "on its own makes a review NOT LGTM". The body of cc1160e2b opens "Addresses IvanHunters review on #4221" and closes "(also resolves the surviving-reference finding on #4296)". Squash and rebase are both disabled on this repository, so every commit reaches main verbatim.
This one is on me: the same commit was on the PR last round and I left it as an aside instead of applying the rule. Since the branch is going back for the two items above anyway, reword it in the same pass.
Caveats
- Checked against live state and correct: three roles in GOVERNANCE.md after #4296 merged at 10:07:46Z, the rotation and champion in SECURITY.md after #4223, and the nightly tally (23 failures and one pass in the last 24 scheduled runs, that pass on 2026-09-03).
:24now says "Regardless of substrate it requires a minimum of 3 servers", while the generic-install page states no such minimum and the same sentence goes on to call single-node production discouraged rather than impossible. Recommended minimum would be accurate.
| * **Identity & Access Management.** Kubernetes-native **RBAC** end-to-end; multi-tenancy via the `Tenant` resource with per-tenant namespaces, scoped RoleBindings, NetworkPolicies and quotas; each tenant Kubernetes cluster has a fully isolated API server (separate **Kamaji** control plane + dedicated etcd). Federated SSO via **Keycloak** (OIDC/SAML). Secrets integration via **External Secrets Operator** and **OpenBao** (PKI/dynamic secrets). | ||
| * **Sovereignty.** Fully self-hosted on the operator's own hardware; no dependency on any public cloud or external SaaS control plane — all data and control planes remain on-premises. This is a core design goal. | ||
| * **Compliance.** Apache-2.0; ships a Security Self-Assessment (see Security) and OpenSSF Best Practices + Scorecard.

Per the [self-assessment](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/docs/security/self-assessment.md), the project makes **no formal compliance attestation** against any framework (PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR); compliance-enabler reference architectures are roadmap items, not current claims. |

[MAJOR] The compliance answer denies material the project publishes on its own site
The sentence closes "compliance-enabler reference architectures are roadmap items, not current claims". cozystack.io publishes four requirement-by-requirement compliance mapping pages, linked from the top navigation of every page on the site.
$ for u in pci-dss gdpr cis-benchmark dora definitely-not-a-page; do printf "%-22s " "$u"; curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" "https://cozystack.io/compliance/$u/"; done
pci-dss 200
gdpr 200
cis-benchmark 200
dora 200
definitely-not-a-page 404
The control run rules out a soft-404. The first half of the sentence is accurate and docs/security/self-assessment.md:136 backs it: no formal attestation against any framework. The second half tells a CNCF reviewer the opposite of what the site's own Compliance menu shows, and the [maintainers: list any published compliance mappings] marker this text replaced asked for precisely these four links. Naming them as mappings, explicitly not attestations, answers the marker and keeps the honest half.
| * **Deployment model & constraints.** Cozystack is primarily deployed as a **full Talos-based distribution that owns the nodes** (the recommended path), but it is **not Talos-only**: it can also be installed on **generic Linux** (Ubuntu/Debian/RHEL/Rocky/openSUSE) via the Ansible collection, which bootstraps k3s, or onto an **existing / bring-your-own Kubernetes** cluster (the generic-Kubernetes install); provider-specific guides exist for Hetzner (dedicated servers on Robot), Oracle Cloud (OCI) and Servers.com. Regardless of substrate it requires **a minimum of 3 servers**, targets **x86_64** (no Windows nodes), and single-node/2-node production is discouraged. | ||
| * **Organizations that benefit.** Hosting/cloud providers, data centers, telcos, financial services, and any platform-engineering organization needing sovereign, self-hosted cloud infrastructure. | ||
| * **End-user research.** Public adopters are listed in [ADOPTERS.md](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/ADOPTERS.md). `[maintainers: link any published case studies / end-user survey results]` | ||
| * **End-user research.** Public adopters are listed in [ADOPTERS.md](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/blob/main/ADOPTERS.md). Published case studies of production use include [Protofire — operating Kubernetes with Cozystack](https://cozystack.io/blog/2025/09/protofire-experience-operating-kubernetes-with-cozystack/) and [Cozyhr — simplifying local development with Helm and Flux](https://cozystack.io/blog/2025/06/cozyhr-how-we-simplified-local-development-with-helm-and-flux/); see also the [case-study index](https://cozystack.io/article_types/case/) and the [CNCF Sandbox announcement](https://www.cncf.io/blog/2025/04/28/open-source-paas-cozystack-becomes-a-cncf-sandbox-project/). No formal end-user survey has been published. |

[MAJOR] One of the two case studies of production use is the project writing about its own dev tool
The line reads "Published case studies of production use include [Protofire ...] and [Cozyhr ...]". The Cozyhr post is the project's own write-up of tooling it built for its development loop:
$ curl -s "https://cozystack.io/blog/2025/06/cozyhr-how-we-simplified-local-development-with-helm-and-flux/" | sed -e 's/<[^>]*>//g' | head -1
Cozyhr: How We Simplified Local Development with Helm and Flux | Cozystack
"How We Simplified Local Development" is neither production use nor an end user. End-user evidence is the weakest part of most Sandbox submissions and therefore the part read hardest; a reviewer who opens the second link and finds a first-party post about a local dev helper will discount the first one too. Protofire plus ADOPTERS.md is the stronger answer because it is the true one.

[MAJOR] Commit cc1160e addresses the review thread, and this repo merges without squashing
docs/agents/contributing.md:90 says each item in that list "on its own makes a review NOT LGTM", and :92 names review-iteration vocabulary in a commit body. cc1160e2b's body opens "Addresses IvanHunters review on #4221" and ends "(also resolves the surviving-reference finding on #4296)".
It matters here because nothing strips it later:
$ gh api repos/cozystack/cozystack --jq '{squash: .allow_squash_merge, rebase: .allow_rebase_merge, merge: .allow_merge_commit}'
{"merge":true,"rebase":false,"squash":false}
Only merge commits are allowed, so every commit on the branch lands in main verbatim and this body becomes permanent history.
This one is my miss: the same commit was on the PR when I reviewed it last round and I mentioned it as an aside rather than applying the rule. Since the branch is going back for the two content items anyway, an interactive rebase rewording it in the same pass costs nothing. The six underlying fixes it describes are sound and stay as they are.

[MINOR] The refreshed CI sentence will expire the same way the old one did
"One of its last twenty-four scheduled runs passed, and every scheduled run since 2026-09-03 has failed" is exact today:
$ gh run list --repo cozystack/cozystack --workflow nightly.yaml --event schedule --limit 24 --json conclusion --jq 'group_by(.conclusion)[] | "\(.[0].conclusion): \(length)"'
failure: 23
success: 1
But "last twenty-four" is a sliding window and the single pass inside it is 2026-09-03. Once that run falls out, roughly late September, the sentence is false with nobody having touched the file, and the first green run falsifies the second half. This is the third revision of this same sentence and the second time it has gone stale by itself; anchoring it ("as of 2026-09-17, 1 of the last 24") ends the cycle.
Two smaller points in the same paragraph. "since 2026-09-03" reads as including that date, which is the one day that passed, so "after" is what is meant. And "flapping rather than simply broken" was written when six of twenty-four passed; with one pass and fourteen consecutive failures the paragraph's own numbers no longer support the characterisation.
Adds GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md answering the CNCF GTR template across Day 0/1/2: deployment model (OS-agnostic, not Talos-only; recommends >=3 servers), architecture, testing and CI health, governance and the contributor ladder, security response and the Security Champion rotation, and compliance mapping pages (guidance for adopters, explicitly not attestations). Repository links target main; doc links are pinned to the versioned /docs/v1.6/ tree. Signed-off-by: Timur Tukaev <[email protected]>

Do not describe all Day 2 operations as declarative-only.
This sentence says all subsequent configuration uses resource edits and not imperative steps. Line 92 requires imperative kubectl annotate and helm upgrade commands. Limit the claim to application configuration, or state that upgrade and recovery procedures still use imperative commands.

| * **Enable/disable in a live cluster.** Cozystack is the distribution rather than an add-on toggled inside a foreign cluster, so "enablement" = installing the operator bundle on the management cluster.

| * **Enable/disable in a live cluster.** On the Talos and generic-Linux paths Cozystack is the distribution that owns the cluster, so "enablement" = installing the operator bundle on the management cluster; on the bring-your-own-Kubernetes path it is installed onto an existing cluster instead. Individual bundles/components and each tenant application are enabled/removed independently (create/delete the corresponding resource); removing a tenant application affects only that tenant, with no downtime to unrelated workloads. `[maintainers: confirm whether any core component change requires control-plane restart]` | ||
| * **How enablement changes default cluster behavior.** Installing Cozystack sets the CNI (Cilium/Kube-OVN), default StorageClass (LINSTOR), ingress, cert-manager, and the aggregated API as cluster defaults for subsequently created workloads. Cozystack expects to own the cluster, so a clean install does not disturb pre-existing unrelated workloads. |

💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
Cozystack requires a clean Kubernetes environment where core components like CNI, ingress controllers, storage provisioners, and kube-proxy are disabled at the time of cluster creation [1]. Because Cozystack deploys its own specialized stack—including Cilium or Kube-OVN for networking, NGINX for ingress, and LINSTOR for storage—it is not designed to operate on top of pre-installed versions of these services [1]. Disabling these components is a prerequisite during the cluster initialization phase rather than a post-deployment modification [1]. For generic Kubernetes distributions, the official documentation specifies the following configurations: 1. K3s: Use installation flags to disable components, specifically setting --disable=traefik, --disable=local-storage, --disable-kube-proxy, and --flannel-backend=none, while setting the cluster-domain to cozy.local [1]. 2. RKE2: Configure the cluster using /etc/rancher/rke2/config.yaml by setting cni: none, disable-kube-proxy: true, and explicitly listing any bundled ingress or metrics components in the disable list [1]. 3. Kubeadm: Use a configuration file to set the DNS domain to cozy.local and KubeProxyConfiguration mode to none [1]. Initialize the cluster using the --skip-phases=addon/kube-proxy flag and ensure no default CNI plugin is installed [1]. If you are attempting to migrate an existing, fully-configured cluster to Cozystack, the documentation indicates that you must ensure these components are not running, which typically requires a fresh deployment rather than disabling them in a live environment [1].

Qualify the no-disturbance claim for existing clusters.
The generic Kubernetes installation requires CNI, ingress, storage provisioning, and kube-proxy to be absent or disabled before Cozystack installation. Cozystack then deploys replacements. Disabling or replacing these components on a populated cluster can change existing workloads' networking, storage, or ingress behavior. Limit the no-disturbance claim to a clean management cluster, and state that an existing populated cluster requires migration planning rather than an in-place installation.

The four mapping pages are named as mappings and explicitly not attestations, which is what the site actually publishes; Cozyhr is gone from the case studies and Protofire stands alone; the CI sentence is anchored to a date, says "after" rather than "since", and drops "flapping"; the server count reads as a recommendation. The history rewrite removed the commit body that addressed the review thread, and the branch now carries one commit with none of that vocabulary.
Notes
- The single commit is titled "add the General Technical Review" and its body opens "Adds GENERAL_TECHNICAL_REVIEW.md", but the file has been on
mainfor a while and this branch changes 28 lines and deletes 32. Squash is disabled here, so that message lands inmainverbatim and will tell a future reader the commit added a file it did not add. Worth a reword while the branch is still yours, not worth another round on its own.
What this PR does
Finalizes the editorial layer of the General Technical Review ahead of filing the point-in-time snapshot for Incubation Due Diligence (cncf/toc#1916, tracked in cozystack/community#75).
Resolves 13
[maintainers: …]markers whose answers are settled by repository or documentation evidence, corrects two inaccurate statements, pins the submission version, and assigns the previously-vacant Security Champion role. The DRAFT banner is rewritten so the remaining markers are grouped by why they stay open (measurement / maintainer confirmation / governance / organization action) instead of being mixed with editorial to-dos.Resolved with verified content: end-user case studies (Protofire, Cozyhr, CNCF announcement); compliance = no formal attestation (per self-assessment); API versioning = no stability policy yet, group is
v1alpha1, tracked in #1251; deprecation communication; rollback = no runbook published; FinOps = not implemented, roadmap; known-failure-modes troubleshooting links; SBOM off by default (#2937); component retirement = GOVERNANCE.md sourcing policy, no formal retirement workflow; SLOs = adopter-defined with exposed SLIs enumerated.Corrections:
ApplicationDefinitiontoday.Project Version pinned to v1.6.3 (latest stable, 2026-09-04); Date Updated 2026-09-11.
Also assigns the previously-vacant Security Champion role to Timur Tukaev (@tym83) (weekly triage pass), which the GTR flagged as the genuine unmet target in the SCA section; surfacing the rotation cadence into
SECURITY.mdis the remaining governance step (CODEOWNER review).What remains open is genuine DD work, unchanged otherwise: measurements (load/scale, baseline overhead, upgrade→downgrade CI matrix), maintainer confirmations (Talos reboot, control-plane restart, CRD cleanup, circuit breaker), the
SECURITY.mdrotation/diversity surfacing, and organization actions (publish the CVE-pipeline policy docs; close the SCA write-back loop).Downstream repositories
