Closes #11, closes #12. Both reproduced against a pristine 0.2.1 with helm v3.15.4 before touching anything; neither fix is specific to the reporting consumer.

#11global was closed, so the chart could not be a subchart

helm copies a parent chart's entire global map into every subchart's values and then validates them against that subchart's schema, both inside ToRenderValues and before a single template renders. A two-file parent chart carrying only its own global is enough:

$ helm template u parent          # parent/values.yaml: global: {myOrgTenant: acme}
Error: values don't meet the specifications of the schema(s) in the following chart(s):
authup:
- global: Additional property myOrgTenant is not allowed

It also fires on global.imagePullPolicy, bitnami's global.storageClass and global.compatibility.*, and on global.security.allowInsecureImages — which DESIGN.md itself tells operators to set. Every workaround was re-tested and fails: nulling the key in the subchart section leaves it as an additional property, nulling global outright trips the root required entry, and --skip-schema-validation does not exist before helm 3.16 (and would disable validation for the whole release tree). Of seven schema-shipping charts surveyed, none close global.

Fix is the # @schema additionalProperties: true opt-out the chart already uses elsewhere, which also drops global from the root required list. type: object is kept, so a scalar global still fails.

#12 — an HTTPRoute rule with no matches is a catch-all

Per the Gateway API a rule with unspecified matches defaults to a PathPrefix / match. Route hostnames are derived from the public URL's origin and authup.urlOrigin drops the path, so the chart's own documented sub-path topology emitted a route that quietly claimed the whole hostname:

# server.publicUrl: https://hub.example.com/auth ; server.route.enabled: true
hostnames: [hub.example.com]
rules:
  - backendRefs: [{name: release-authup-server, port: 3000}]

With both services on one shared host, the two routes tie on every precedence rule and the alphabetical tie-break sends /auth to the admin console. Nothing could correct it: both route objects were additionalProperties: false, and Gateway API has no annotation equivalent of the proxy-buffer-size workaround the chart documents for ingress-nginx (NGINX Gateway Fabric needs an ExtensionRef filter to a SnippetsFilter, a spec field).

route.matches and route.filters are raw Gateway API passthrough, tpl-rendered like every other list value. validations.yaml now fails the render when a route is enabled, the public URL carries a non-root path and matches is empty, quoting the match and the URLRewrite filter to set.

Two proposals from the issues were deliberately not implemented:

  • Auto-deriving a PathPrefix match from the publicUrl path. authup serves at / and expects the proxy to strip the prefix (server-core's html adapter: "The reverse proxy is expected to strip the prefix before the request reaches authup"). A derived match without a URLRewrite would replace a working catch-all with a 404 storm.
  • route.extraRules. Gateway API merges rules across HTTPRoutes attached to the same listener by match specificity, so a second route through the chart's existing tpl-rendered extraDeploy already covers it. Cheap additive follow-up if it is ever asked for.

Verification

  • make test: helm lint clean, all 6 ci/*-values.yaml render, values coverage OK (288 referenced paths).
  • make docs schema produces no drift.
  • Umbrella parent renders; global: null still renders; --set global=hello and --set server.replicaCountt=3 still fail; free-form maps (server.config.X, server.resources.limits.cpu) still open.
  • The full .agents/testing.md negative battery re-run — all cases still fail correctly, including the two new route cases (literal publicUrl and ingress-derived).
  • With no matches/filters set, the rendered output is byte-identical to master.
  • ct lint / ct install not run locally (ct not installed); CI covers them.

ci/default-values.yaml carries a stray global key as the #11 regression guard, so make template and the kind matrix both exercise it. A parent-chart fixture under charts/ was avoided on purpose: ct.yaml's chart-dirs: charts would make it a second linted, installed and published chart.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for custom Gateway API route matches and filters, including URL path rewriting.
    • Custom ingress rules are now appended to generated rules instead of replacing them.
    • Expanded chart configuration to support additional parent-chart global values.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added validation to prevent invalid sub-path routes without required match and rewrite settings.
    • Improved route handling for public URLs that include a path.
  • Documentation

    • Updated chart configuration guidance for routes, matches, filters, and custom ingress rules.

helm copies a parent chart's ENTIRE global map into every subchart's values
and then validates them against that subchart's own schema, both inside
ToRenderValues and before a single template renders. The generated schema
closed `global` with additionalProperties: false, so any umbrella chart that
set a global this chart does not declare could not render at all:

    $ helm template u parent          # parent values: global.myOrgTenant
    Error: values don't meet the specifications of the schema(s) in the
    following chart(s):
    authup:
    - global: Additional property myOrgTenant is not allowed

That fires for global.imagePullPolicy, bitnami's global.storageClass and
global.compatibility.*, and for global.security.allowInsecureImages, which
DESIGN.md itself tells operators to set. No values file can work around it:
nulling the key in the subchart section leaves it as an additional property,
and nulling `global` outright trips the root-level required entry instead.
`global` is the one node in a values tree a chart does not own.

The `# @Schema additionalProperties: true` opt-out also drops `global` from
the root required list, so `authup: {global: null}` stays legal for consumers
who want to block propagation. `type: object` is kept, so a scalar `global`
still fails, and the three globals the chart consumes keep their types. Typo
detection everywhere else is unaffected.

ci/default-values.yaml carries a stray global key as the regression guard:
`make template` and the kind matrix both render it.

Closes #11
server.route / adminConsole.route rendered a single rule that was nothing but
backendRefs. Per the Gateway API, a rule with no `matches` defaults to a
PathPrefix "/" match, so that rule matches every request on every hostname the
route attaches to. The route hostname is derived from the public URL's ORIGIN
and authup.urlOrigin drops the path, which made the chart's own documented
sub-path topology emit a silent catch-all:

    server.publicUrl: https://hub.example.com/auth
    server.route.enabled: true
    -> hostnames: [hub.example.com], rules: [{backendRefs: [...]}]

With both services on one shared host the two routes tie on every Gateway API
precedence rule and the alphabetical tie-break sends /auth to the admin
console. No value could correct it: the route objects were closed
(additionalProperties: false) with only enabled/hostnames/parentRefs/
annotations, and Gateway API has no annotation equivalent of the
proxy-buffer-size workaround the chart documents for ingress-nginx (NGINX
Gateway Fabric needs an ExtensionRef filter to a SnippetsFilter, a spec field).

`matches` and `filters` are raw Gateway API passthrough, tpl-rendered like
every other list value, so an umbrella can compose them from parent state.
Both default to [] and the rendered output without them is byte-identical to
before. This is the parity the Ingress renderer already had via extraPaths /
extraHosts / extraTls / extraRules.

validations.yaml now fails the render when a route is enabled, the public URL
carries a non-root path and `matches` is empty, quoting the match and the
URLRewrite filter to set. authup always serves at "/" and expects the proxy to
strip the prefix, so the chart cannot derive the match on its own: a
PathPrefix match without the rewrite would forward /auth/token to a server
that only serves /token. The guard reads the URL after derivation, so an
ingress-derived public URL is covered too.

Also corrects two doc strings: ingress.extraRules is appended after the
generated rules rather than overriding them, and route.hostnames notes that
only the host survives the derivation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The chart now accepts undeclared global keys and supports configurable HTTPRoute matches and filters. It validates sub-path routes without matches and updates related values documentation, regression guidance, and changelog entries.

Changes

Chart schema and route configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Values and schema contracts
charts/authup/values.yaml, charts/authup/values.schema.json, charts/authup/ci/default-values.yaml
The chart permits additional global keys. Server and admin console routes define matches and filters.
HTTPRoute rendering and validation
charts/authup/templates/_ingress.tpl, charts/authup/templates/validations.yaml
HTTPRoute rules render configured matches and filters. Sub-path routes fail validation when matches are not configured.
Regression coverage and documentation
.agents/*, charts/authup/README.md, charts/authup/Chart.yaml
Testing guidance covers sub-path routes and umbrella-chart global keys. Documentation and changelog entries describe the updated behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cadf9

The chart now accepts explicit HTTPRoute matches, but non-root public URLs can still be configured without the required prefix-stripping rewrite, causing requests to reach authup with an unsupported path and return 404s. Merge should wait for validation and regression coverage for this configuration.

Test the rewrite requirement, not only the match.

The positive commands add server.route.matches but no server.route.filters. Add the URLRewrite/ReplacePrefixMatch filter to the positive case, and add a negative case where matches exist but the required rewrite is absent.

✅ Action performed

Reviews paused.

The render guard only fires when route.matches is empty, so an operator who
sets matches from the start never sees the message that names the URLRewrite.
authup always serves at "/" and relies on something upstream stripping the
prefix, and getting that wrong 404s every request instead of failing the
render.

Left as a NOTE rather than a validation: the stripping may legitimately happen
outside this HTTPRoute (an edge proxy or ingress in front of the gateway, or
an implementation-specific filter such as an NGINX Gateway Fabric
SnippetsFilter), so requiring a URLRewrite filter here would fail renders that
are correct.

Drop the Hub-specific global.flameHub.authup.* knobs. authup 0.2.2 gained
server.route.matches/filters, so the subchart can render its own HTTPRoute
including the /auth prefix rewrite and the NGF SnippetsFilter reference, and
templates/authup/httproute.yaml is deleted.

Everything authup-related now lives under `authup:` in the upstream vocabulary
instead of being split across two namespaces. authup.server.publicUrl is the
single source of truth for the public address; it defaults to the shared Hub
hostname + /auth and this chart reads it back for the Hub UI.

server.route.enabled is a plain boolean the subchart cannot tpl-render, so
authup does not follow global.flameHub.gatewayApi.enabled - it is enabled per
environment. Reported upstream as authup/helm#13.

BREAKING CHANGE: global.flameHub.authup.* is gone. Gateway API routing for
authup moves to authup.server.route (enabled, hostnames, parentRefs, matches,
filters) and the public URL to authup.server.publicUrl.
