+ ## Standard workflows — c8Run
66
+
67
+ c8Run is a single binary distribution of Camunda 8 built from the `camunda/camunda` monorepo. It starts all components (Zeebe, Operate, Tasklist, etc.) on `localhost` for local development and CI testing. **There is no live cluster after the nightly completes** — no Teleport, no `kubectl`, no Helm.
68
+
69
+ The monorepo is checked out at `{{.WorkspacePath}}/camunda-{version}/` (e.g. `camunda-8.10/` for `c8Run-8.10`), at the matching `stable/{version}` branch.
70
+
71
+ 1. **Triage a failing c8Run nightly run.**
72
+ - Read the failing tests from `/tmp/test_specs.json` (pre-written by the dispatch workflow).
73
+ - Download artifacts — see `## C8Run Nightly Fix Agent` in `AGENTS.md` for exact patterns:
74
+ - `json-report*` — Playwright JSON report with error messages and stack traces
75
+ - `Playwright Report*` — screenshots and traces per test
76
+ - Determine whether the failure is a **test issue** (selector drift, timing, missing wait) or a **product issue** (component behaves differently than the test expects).
77
+
78
+ 2. **Diagnose a test issue.**
79
+ - Read the full spec file at `{{.WorkspacePath}}/c8-cross-component-e2e-tests/<file>`.
80
+ - Read the page objects and fixtures it imports (under `pages/c8Run-8.x/` and `fixtures/c8Run-8.x.ts`).
81
+ - Check sibling version directories (`c8Run-8.7`, `c8Run-8.8`, `c8Run-8.9`) — the same fix often applies to multiple versions.
82
+ - Common patterns: startup race on `localhost:8080`, MCP server readiness (8.9+), selector drift after a product UI change, navigation timeout.
83
+
84
+ 3. **Diagnose a product issue via monorepo source.**
85
+ - The c8Run binary is built from `{{.WorkspacePath}}/camunda-{version}/c8run/`. Read `c8run/start.sh`, `c8run/package.sh`, and the Go source under `c8run/cmd/` and `c8run/internal/` to understand startup and packaging behavior.
86
+ - Cross-reference `c8run/e2e_tests/tests/` — the c8Run team's own Playwright smoke tests — to understand what baseline behavior is expected from the binary.
87
+ - Read `qa/c8-orchestration-cluster-e2e-test-suite/` for deeper Zeebe/Operate integration test context.
88
+ - If the root cause is clearly a product bug (not a test bug), document the finding in the PR body and write `{"prs": []}` — do not open a test-code PR for a product bug.
89
+ - If there is a valid test-side workaround (e.g., retry a flaky assertion that product will eventually fix), apply it.
90
+
91
+ 4. **Ship a c8Run fix.**
92
+ - Fix in `c8-cross-component-e2e-tests/` only (no Helm, no chart changes).
93
+ - Branch: `fix/c8run-nightly-{version}-<short-slug>`.
94
+ - Commit: `fix(c8run-nightly): <description>` or `fix(c8run-nightly): <description> (c8Run-8.x, c8Run-8.y)` for multi-version.
95
+ - Run lint before committing: `npx prettier --write <files> && npx eslint <files> --ext .ts`.
96
+ - If the fix also applies to SM test files (shared page objects), open a separate SM fix PR and cross-link both.

  ## Validation
56
99
 
57
100
  A change is considered done only when all of the following hold:
58
101
 
59
- - **Local unit/lint gate passes** in any repo touched: `make helm.lint chartPath=...` and `make go.test chartPath=...` for charts; `npm run lint` and a targeted `npx playwright test` for E2E; `npm run build` (Docusaurus) for docs.
60
- - **Targeted reproduction passes**: the previously failing test or scenario succeeds locally against a freshly-deployed namespace, with a Playwright trace captured and reviewed if the fix touched UI flows.
61
- - **Nightly matrix re-run is green** for the affected chart version(s). For wider blast-radius changes (shared templates, `_helpers.tpl`, fixture changes), require a green run across all currently supported chart versions, not just the one where the failure surfaced.
62
- - **Cross-repo links are wired**: Helm PR, E2E PR, and (if applicable) docs PR each reference the others; the originating nightly run URL is in the PR description so the next on-call can audit the trail.
102
+ - **Lint gate passes**: `npm run lint` in `c8-cross-component-e2e-tests/`; `make helm.lint chartPath=...` and `make go.test chartPath=...` for chart changes; `npm run build` (Docusaurus) for docs.
103
+ - **Nightly re-run is green**: for SM, trigger `test-chart-version-nightly.yaml` for the affected version(s); for c8Run, trigger the matching c8Run nightly workflow.
104
+ - **Cross-repo links are wired**: all PRs reference each other and include the originating nightly run URL.
63
105
 
64
106
  ## Conventions
65
107
 
66
- - **Branching**: feature branches off `main` in each repo. Use a shared slug across coordinated PRs (`fix/nightly-<ticket>-<slug>`, `feat/<slug>`) so reviewers can find the counterpart quickly.
67
- - **Commits and PR titles**: Conventional Commits (`fix:`, `feat:`, `chore:`, `test:`, `docs:`) — required by the Helm repo, applied uniformly here for consistency. Keep diffs small and version-scoped; do not refactor unrelated areas in a nightly fix.
68
- - **Version awareness**: chart layout differs across versions (e.g. 8.8+ uses unified `templates/orchestration/`, 8.7 and earlier do not). Always inspect the target version's templates before editing. E2E tests follow the same split via `MINOR_VERSION` and `tests/SM-8.x/` directories.
69
- - **Goldens**: regenerate with `make` targets only; hand-edits are rejected on review.
70
- - **Credentials and environment**: nightly clusters live under `*.ci.distro.ultrawombat.com`; never commit `.env` files. Generate them on demand with `scripts/render-e2e-env.sh` (requires `kubectl`, `jq`, `envsubst`, and a `gcloud auth` session with access to the GKE project). The `c8e2e` runner image lives at `registry.camunda.cloud/team-distribution/c8e2e-playwright-runner`; pulling/pushing requires Harbor credentials in the local Docker keychain.
71
- - **Toolchain**: Helm repo pins versions in `.tool-versions` (asdf-managed): Go 1.26.1, Helm 3.20.1, kubectl 1.27.16, kind 0.31.0, yq 4.52.5, jq 1.8.1, bats 1.11.0. E2E repo uses Node per `.nvmrc` and Playwright ^1.49.0. Match these locally to avoid divergence from CI.
72
- - **Docs hygiene**: when editing `camunda-docs/`, follow `howtos/documentation-guidelines.md` and run `npm run build` locally; respect Vale rules (`.vale.ini`).
108
+ - **Branching**: `fix/nightly-{version}-<slug>` for SM; `fix/c8run-nightly-{version}-<slug>` for c8Run. Feature branches off `main`.
109
+ - **Commits and PR titles**: Conventional Commits. `fix(nightly):` for SM; `fix(c8run-nightly):` for c8Run.
110
+ - **Version awareness**: SM chart layout differs across versions (8.8+ uses unified `templates/orchestration/`). E2E tests follow the same split via `tests/SM-8.x/` and `tests/c8Run-8.x/`.
111
+ - **No skipping**: NEVER use `test.skip()` or `test.fixme()`. Write `{"prs":[]}` and stop if no fix is possible.
112
+ - **Goldens** (SM only): regenerate with `make` targets only; hand-edits are rejected on review.
113
+ - **c8Run — no cluster after nightly**: the binary ran locally on the CI runner and is gone. Never attempt `kubectl`, Teleport, or cluster credential steps for c8Run failures.
114
+ - **Credentials** (SM only): nightly clusters live under `*.ci.distro.ultrawombat.com`; never commit `.env` files. Generate on demand with `scripts/render-e2e-env.sh`.
115
+ - **Toolchain**: Helm repo — Go 1.26.1, Helm 3.20.1 (see `.tool-versions`). E2E repo — Node per `.nvmrc`, Playwright ^1.49.0. camunda monorepo — Java 21, Maven wrapper `./mvnw`.

+ - **`{{.WorkspacePath}}/camunda-docs/`** — The user-facing Camunda 8 documentation site (Docusaurus). Use it to confirm intended product behavior, locate version-specific upgrade notes, and update guidance when a component default changes. No agent-instruction file is present; treat `howtos/` and the versioned docs trees (`docs/`, `versioned_docs/`) as the source of truth.
17
+ - **`{{.WorkspacePath}}/camunda-{version}/`** *(c8Run only, e.g. `camunda-8.10/`)* — Full checkout of the `camunda/camunda` monorepo at `stable/{version}`. Two sub-trees are especially relevant for c8Run triage:
18
+ - **`c8run/`** — the c8Run distribution builder: Go source (`cmd/`, `internal/`), `start.sh`, `package.sh`, `configuration/`. Read this when a failure points to startup, packaging, or binary behavior rather than test code.
19
+ - **`c8run/e2e_tests/`** — c8Run-specific Playwright smoke tests (`tests/operate_login.spec.ts`, `tests/tasklist_login.spec.ts`). Cross-reference here to understand what the c8Run team considers baseline expected behavior.
20
+ - **`qa/c8-orchestration-cluster-e2e-test-suite/`** — Orchestration-layer (Zeebe/Operate) integration tests. Use for deeper component-behavior context when a failure traces to the process engine.
21
+ Fixes to component source follow the `camunda/camunda` contribution workflow and must be cross-linked to any E2E test PRs.

+ ## Standard workflows — c8Run
66
+
67
+ c8Run is a single binary distribution of Camunda 8 built from the `camunda/camunda` monorepo. It starts all components (Zeebe, Operate, Tasklist, etc.) on `localhost` for local development and CI testing. **There is no live cluster after the nightly completes** — no Teleport, no `kubectl`, no Helm.
68
+
69
+ The monorepo is checked out at `{{.WorkspacePath}}/camunda-{version}/` (e.g. `camunda-8.10/` for `c8Run-8.10`), at the matching `stable/{version}` branch.

71
+ 1. **Triage a failing c8Run nightly run.**
72
+ - Read the failing tests from `/tmp/test_specs.json` (pre-written by the dispatch workflow).
73
+ - Download artifacts — see `## C8Run Nightly Fix Agent` in `AGENTS.md` for exact patterns:
74
+ - `json-report*` — Playwright JSON report with error messages and stack traces
75
+ - `Playwright Report*` — screenshots and traces per test
76
+ - Determine whether the failure is a **test issue** (selector drift, timing, missing wait) or a **product issue** (component behaves differently than the test expects).
77
+
78
+ 2. **Diagnose a test issue.**
79
+ - Read the full spec file at `{{.WorkspacePath}}/c8-cross-component-e2e-tests/<file>`.
80

81
+ - Check sibling version directories (`c8Run-8.7`, `c8Run-8.8`, `c8Run-8.9`) — the same fix often applies to multiple versions.

83

85

86
+ - Cross-reference `c8run/e2e_tests/tests/` — the c8Run team's own Playwright smoke tests — to understand what baseline behavior is expected from the binary.
87
+ - Read `qa/c8-orchestration-cluster-e2e-test-suite/` for deeper Zeebe/Operate integration test context.
88
+ - If the root cause is clearly a product bug (not a test bug), document the finding in the PR body and write `{"prs": []}` — do not open a test-code PR for a product bug.

+ - Commit: `fix(c8run-nightly): <description>` or `fix(c8run-nightly): <description> (c8Run-8.x, c8Run-8.y)` for multi-version.
95
+ - Run lint before committing: `npx prettier --write <files> && npx eslint <files> --ext .ts`.

  A change is considered done only when all of the following hold:
58
101
 
59
- - **Local unit/lint gate passes** in any repo touched: `make helm.lint chartPath=...` and `make go.test chartPath=...` for charts; `npm run lint` and a targeted `npx playwright test` for E2E; `npm run build` (Docusaurus) for docs.
60
- - **Targeted reproduction passes**: the previously failing test or scenario succeeds locally against a freshly-deployed namespace, with a Playwright trace captured and reviewed if the fix touched UI flows.
61
- - **Nightly matrix re-run is green** for the affected chart version(s). For wider blast-radius changes (shared templates, `_helpers.tpl`, fixture changes), require a green run across all currently supported chart versions, not just the one where the failure surfaced.
62
- - **Cross-repo links are wired**: Helm PR, E2E PR, and (if applicable) docs PR each reference the others; the originating nightly run URL is in the PR description so the next on-call can audit the trail.
102
+ - **Lint gate passes**: `npm run lint` in `c8-cross-component-e2e-tests/`; `make helm.lint chartPath=...` and `make go.test chartPath=...` for chart changes; `npm run build` (Docusaurus) for docs.
103
+ - **Nightly re-run is green**: for SM, trigger `test-chart-version-nightly.yaml` for the affected version(s); for c8Run, trigger the matching c8Run nightly workflow.
104
+ - **Cross-repo links are wired**: all PRs reference each other and include the originating nightly run URL.

  ## Conventions
65
107
 
66
- - **Branching**: feature branches off `main` in each repo. Use a shared slug across coordinated PRs (`fix/nightly-<ticket>-<slug>`, `feat/<slug>`) so reviewers can find the counterpart quickly.
67
- - **Commits and PR titles**: Conventional Commits (`fix:`, `feat:`, `chore:`, `test:`, `docs:`) — required by the Helm repo, applied uniformly here for consistency. Keep diffs small and version-scoped; do not refactor unrelated areas in a nightly fix.
68
- - **Version awareness**: chart layout differs across versions (e.g. 8.8+ uses unified `templates/orchestration/`, 8.7 and earlier do not). Always inspect the target version's templates before editing. E2E tests follow the same split via `MINOR_VERSION` and `tests/SM-8.x/` directories.
69
- - **Goldens**: regenerate with `make` targets only; hand-edits are rejected on review.
70
- - **Credentials and environment**: nightly clusters live under `*.ci.distro.ultrawombat.com`; never commit `.env` files. Generate them on demand with `scripts/render-e2e-env.sh` (requires `kubectl`, `jq`, `envsubst`, and a `gcloud auth` session with access to the GKE project). The `c8e2e` runner image lives at `registry.camunda.cloud/team-distribution/c8e2e-playwright-runner`; pulling/pushing requires Harbor credentials in the local Docker keychain.
71
- - **Toolchain**: Helm repo pins versions in `.tool-versions` (asdf-managed): Go 1.26.1, Helm 3.20.1, kubectl 1.27.16, kind 0.31.0, yq 4.52.5, jq 1.8.1, bats 1.11.0. E2E repo uses Node per `.nvmrc` and Playwright ^1.49.0. Match these locally to avoid divergence from CI.
72
- - **Docs hygiene**: when editing `camunda-docs/`, follow `howtos/documentation-guidelines.md` and run `npm run build` locally; respect Vale rules (`.vale.ini`).
108
+ - **Branching**: `fix/nightly-{version}-<slug>` for SM; `fix/c8run-nightly-{version}-<slug>` for c8Run. Feature branches off `main`.
109
+ - **Commits and PR titles**: Conventional Commits. `fix(nightly):` for SM; `fix(c8run-nightly):` for c8Run.
110
+ - **Version awareness**: SM chart layout differs across versions (8.8+ uses unified `templates/orchestration/`). E2E tests follow the same split via `tests/SM-8.x/` and `tests/c8Run-8.x/`.
111
+ - **No skipping**: NEVER use `test.skip()` or `test.fixme()`. Write `{"prs":[]}` and stop if no fix is possible.
112
+ - **Goldens** (SM only): regenerate with `make` targets only; hand-edits are rejected on review.
113
+ - **c8Run — no cluster after nightly**: the binary ran locally on the CI runner and is gone. Never attempt `kubectl`, Teleport, or cluster credential steps for c8Run failures.
114
+ - **Credentials** (SM only): nightly clusters live under `*.ci.distro.ultrawombat.com`; never commit `.env` files. Generate on demand with `scripts/render-e2e-env.sh`.
115
+ - **Toolchain**: Helm repo — Go 1.26.1, Helm 3.20.1 (see `.tool-versions`). E2E repo — Node per `.nvmrc`, Playwright ^1.49.0. camunda monorepo — Java 21, Maven wrapper `./mvnw`.
