## What this PR does The operator-provided wildcard certificate (`publishing.certificates.wildcardSecretName`) currently serves the root tenant only: everything is same-namespace, so the root ingress controller and Gateway read the operator's TLS Secret directly. Child tenants run their own ingress controller / Gateway in their own namespace under a default-deny policy and cannot read that Secret across namespaces, so they fall back to per-host ACME. This propagates the operator wildcard to per-tenant termination points by replicating the Secret into each tenant namespace that owns one, keeping the root-MVP invariant intact: the wildcard is deliberately distributed to tenant namespaces, but no tenant RBAC is widened — every consumer reads only its own-namespace copy. A new controller in `cozystack-controller` does the replication with no extra operator input. It reads the same platform values channel the consumers read (`cozy-system/cozystack-values`): the wildcard Secret name from `_cluster.wildcard-secret-name` and the publishing namespace from `_cluster.expose-ingress`. It mirrors that Secret into every tenant namespace whose `namespace.cozystack.io/ingress` or `namespace.cozystack.io/gateway` label equals its own name — i.e. the namespace runs its own controller / Gateway. Because the source is derived from the same value that makes the consumers reference it, the replica is created whenever the consumers expect it — no manual labelling and no upgrade hazard where a child controller references a Secret that nothing creates. Replicas are refreshed on rotation and pruned when a namespace stops terminating TLS. Teardown of every replica happens on exactly one trigger: clearing `wildcardSecretName` (explicit disable). A source that is merely absent or mistyped, or a transiently-missing values channel, leaves existing replicas in place, so a brief gap, a delete+recreate rotation, or a misconfigured publishing namespace never drops tenant TLS. The platform controller's own ServiceAccount gains Secret writes; tenant RBAC is untouched. The controller does not cache every Secret in the cluster: the manager's Secret informer is scoped to managed replicas and the values channel only, and the operator source / foreign collisions are read through the uncached APIReader. The source is not watched (its name is dynamic), so an in-place rotation is picked up by a bounded periodic resync while the publishing tenant serves the source with no lag. On the consumer side, each tenant ingress controller now sets `--default-ssl-certificate` to the wildcard Secret in its own namespace (`.Release.Namespace/<name>`), so a child tenant serves the replica instead of minting per-host ACME. The Gateway path already renders `certMode: existingSecret` with a same-namespace `wildcardSecretRef` for every tenant, so it consumes the replica with no chart change. ### Why not clustersecret-operator The issue proposed the shipped `clustersecret-operator`. It materializes inline template data into selected namespaces; it cannot mirror an existing source Secret, and it is not installed in any default bundle. Driving it would mean embedding the certificate and private key as literal data in a cluster-scoped object rendered from a Helm `lookup` — that broadcasts key material the design keeps off any shared channel, and a `lookup` is invisible to the Flux helm-controller digest so it would not re-render on rotation. Its namespace selector also cannot express "the namespace whose owner label equals its own name", so it would over-replicate the key into every tenant namespace. A small dedicated reconciler targets exactly the termination namespaces and keeps the key off the values channel. ### Coverage caveat Replication delivers the certificate bytes, not SAN coverage: a single `*.<root-host>` does not match `*.<child-apex>`. Operators serving child-tenant subdomains supply a certificate whose SANs cover those apexes; the docs spell this out. The replica carries the wildcard private key into each terminating tenant namespace — the same exposure as the per-host ACME Secret it replaces, now shared across tenants. ### Tests - Go fake-client tests for the reconciler: termination-only replication (ingress-owning and gateway-owning namespaces only, never inheriting ones, never over the source), copy markers, rotation, prune on namespace demotion, the non-destructive source-deletion contract, replica self-heal after out-of-band deletion, the publishing-namespace self-replication guard, disable-via-config teardown, source rename, foreign-Secret collision safety (no overwrite, no requeue, does not block siblings), transient-error requeue, non-TLS source ignored, absent-channel keeps replicas, publishing-namespace mismatch keeps and requeues, the cache-scope pin, the enqueue-wiring map, an `ownsTerminationPoint` table, and the active-only requeue contract. - helm-unittest for the ingress `default-ssl-certificate` wiring (including a child-tenant controller pointing at its own-namespace replica) and for the cozystack-controller ClusterRole's new Secret-write rule. ### Screenshots N/A — no UI changes. ### Release note ```release-note feat(platform): the operator-provided wildcard TLS certificate (`publishing.certificates.wildcardSecretName`) is now served by per-tenant ingress controllers and Gateways automatically — the platform controller replicates it into each tenant namespace that terminates TLS, with no extra operator input and no cross-namespace Secret read ``` Closes #2820 Part of #2811 <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit ## Release Notes * **New Features** * Wildcard TLS Secret now replicates from the platform to tenant namespaces that terminate TLS via their own ingress controller or Gateway, including child-tenant scenarios. * **Documentation** * Clarified configuration, timing, and SAN matching requirements for wildcard replication. * Updated gateway and ingress-nginx default certificate documentation for replica mirroring behavior. * **Bug Fixes** * Improved handling for missing/invalid source secrets (no unnecessary pruning) and safe collision behavior. * **Tests** * Added comprehensive reconciliation/replication test coverage. * Added Helm unittest target for the controller chart. * **Chores** * Updated controller RBAC to support wildcard TLS Secret replication. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
