Helm Local Stack

Use when the user wants to bring up the local LFX platform stack, edit the OpenFGA authorization model and re-render permissions docs, update platform chart dependencies, or debug local stack install/sync issues. Fires on "bring up local LFX platform", "edit OpenFGA model", "update platform chart dependencies", "debug local stack".

File contents

helm-local-stack

Guided workflow for the shared LFX V2 platform Helm chart and its local stack. This repo owns charts/lfx-platform/, the OpenFGA model, and the cross-service chart conventions consumed from service-chart-patterns.md. Service-local charts live in each service repo; deployed env state lives in lfx-v2-argocd.

Common tasks

Task	See
First-time local bring-up	`docs/local-platform-getting-started.md`
Edit the OpenFGA model + re-render `PERMISSIONS.md`	`docs/platform-chart.md` + `.agents/skills/render-permissions/SKILL.md`
Update / bump platform subchart dependencies	`docs/platform-chart.md`
Debug `helm dependency update` failures	`docs/platform-chart.md` "Failure modes"
Reference cross-service chart conventions (HTTPRoute, RuleSet, NATS KV, ExternalSecret)	`docs/service-chart-patterns.md`

Workflow

Bring up locally:

kubectl create namespace lfx
helm dependency update charts/lfx-platform
cp charts/lfx-platform/values.local.example.yaml charts/lfx-platform/values.local.yaml
# fill in local secrets per chart README + 1Password "LFX V2" vault
helm install -n lfx lfx-platform ./charts/lfx-platform --values charts/lfx-platform/values.local.yaml

See charts/lfx-platform/README.md for the per-subchart secret-creation list (e.g. lfx-v2-voting-service requires its Secret to exist before install).

Edit the OpenFGA model:
- Edit charts/lfx-platform/templates/openfga/model.yaml.
- Update @fgadoc:jtbd annotations on changed/new relations.
- Run .agents/skills/render-permissions/SKILL.md to regenerate PERMISSIONS.md.
- If a relation rename or new relation affects a service, coordinate with the owning service repo's RuleSet and with lfx-v2-fga-sync / lfx-v2-query-service per platform-chart.md.
Update platform chart deps:
- Edit version constraints in charts/lfx-platform/Chart.yaml.
- Run helm dependency update charts/lfx-platform.
- Commit Chart.yaml and Chart.lock.
- Local install picks up automatically; deployed envs need a matching targetRevision: bump in lfx-v2-argocd.
Debug:
- helm template lfx-platform charts/lfx-platform --values charts/lfx-platform/values.local.yaml | less
- helm lint charts/lfx-platform
- For oci:// pull errors: helm registry login ghcr.io first.
- See platform-chart.md "Failure modes" for common pitfalls.

Boundaries

Do not embed service-local templates in charts/lfx-platform/ — those belong in the owning service repo's charts/<service>/.
Do not deploy environment overrides from here — that is lfx-v2-argocd.
For the cross-repo three-way split see /lfx-skills:lfx and its deployment routing reference.
