An incident triaged before issue filing existed, or while its repository was unmapped, is deduped on every later tick and so never reaches the service's tracker even though the job is still red. soteria and metis sat in exactly that state: broken, escalated, and permanently unable to file. The backfill reuses the classification the original diagnosis recorded, so the existing dedupe applies unchanged - one open issue per job and classification, refiled only if it is closed while the job still fails. Filing under a guessed label would miss the open issue and duplicate it, which is what the dedupe exists to prevent, so an incident with no recorded classification is skipped rather than guessed at.

ariadne
Ariadne is the Atlas admin and account automation service.
It sits behind the portal and handles the jobs that are annoying or risky to do by hand: approving access, syncing account state, rotating service passwords, cleaning stale Kubernetes work, checking platform health, and keeping a few service integrations lined up.
How it works
Ariadne is a FastAPI service with a small scheduler. It talks to Keycloak, Vault, Mailu, Nextcloud, Wger, Firefly, Jenkins, Metis, Kubernetes, and a few Atlas-specific services through focused adapters under ariadne/services/.
The API is split between admin routes, account self-service routes, internal event hooks, and Prometheus metrics. Background jobs store run history in the Ariadne database so failures can be inspected later instead of vanishing into logs.
The following are notes for future Brad.
Bring-up dependencies
Ariadne needs:
- Kubernetes API, service DNS, and Ariadne's service account/RBAC
- the Ariadne database, plus the portal database if portal/account sync is enabled
- Vault or the Kubernetes secrets that Vault normally feeds it
- Keycloak/OIDC, because auth and profile sync assume it exists
- ingress/proxy plumbing if humans are going to use it through the portal
- the services for whatever jobs are enabled: Mailu, Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Wger, Firefly, Jenkins, Metis, OpenSearch, and the comms/game-mode pieces
It can start before every integration is perfect, but the matching scheduled jobs will fail or no-op until their service is actually alive. In a total bring-up, wait for storage, Flux, Postgres, Vault, Keycloak, and ingress first. Afterwards Ariadne becomes useful glue.
Useful routes:
GET /healthGET /metricsGET /api/admin/cluster/statePOST /api/admin/access/requests/{username}/approvePOST /api/account/mailu/rotatePOST /api/account/wger/resetPOST /api/account/firefly/resetPOST /events
Development
python -m pytest
ruff check .
Most runtime behavior is configured through environment variables in ariadne/settings.py. Service-specific logic is in the small adapter modules; ariadne/app.py is focused on request flow and task orchestration.
