Conformance review against the design proposals surfaced that a short-name tap ignored the index entry's recorded version: resolveTapTarget returned the bare ociRef, so 'cozypkg tap <name>' pulled :latest while the CI gate had validated and cosign-verified <ociRef>:<version>. The gate signed one tag and the cluster pulled another, breaking both the versioning model (#18) and the signature chain (#23). Resolve the short name to <ociRef>:<version> when a version is recorded. Also harden the publication gate: run 'cozypkg validate --helm-lint' (with helm installed in the workflow) so charts are linted as the design specifies, and add a CODEOWNERS so every index entry requires maintainer review.

Cozystack community package index (template)
This directory is a template for the standalone cozystack/packages-index repository. Copy its contents into that repository's root (moving github-workflows/validate.yaml to .github/workflows/validate.yaml) to stand up the community index and its publication gate.
The index is metadata only: it records where community packages live and who owns them. Artifacts stay in ordinary OCI registries; nothing is hosted here.
Layout
entries/<name>.yaml # one metadata-only entry per package
scripts/validate-entry.sh # offline gate: cozypkg validate + mandatory cosign
github-workflows/validate.yaml # CI that runs the gate on every entry change
Entry format
Each file under entries/ is a single record (see entries/example.foo.yaml):
name: foo.bar
ociRef: oci://ghcr.io/foo/bar
version: v1.2.3
description: A SQL database operator
maintainer: Foo <foo@example.com>
homepage: https://example.com/foo
tags:
- database
- sql
signing:
identity: https://github.com/foo/bar/.github/workflows/release.yaml@refs/heads/main
issuer: https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com
Two-lane merge policy
Following krew-index, submissions take one of two lanes:
- Owner version bump. A change that only updates an existing entry's
versionor description, leavingociRefandsigninguntouched, auto-merges once the new artifact validates and is signed by the entry's recorded cosign identity. This keeps the routine "new release of a listed package" path fast. - New entry, or a change to
ociRef,maintainer, orsigning. These are the security-relevant edits and require maintainer review before merge.
Cosign verification is mandatory on the gate for both lanes: the trust anchor is the recorded signing identity, so a bump fails if the new artifact is not signed by the originally approved identity.
Trust model
Signature verification happens here, at publication time, not at tap time. cozypkg tap and the dashboard connect flow validate an artifact's structure but do not verify its cosign signature: a cluster that taps a listed repository trusts that this index already verified it. The verification points are this CI gate (which pins each release to the entry's recorded identity) and, optionally, Flux OCIRepository verification at pull time. Tapping a third-party repository runs its charts in the management cluster, so operators should tap only sources they trust or that appear in a curated index like this one.
