A build whose agent never started is a distinct failure from one that lost a connection mid-run: retrying can work, but when the pool is already full of stuck pods the retry queues behind them and fails identically. Clearing first is what makes the retry worth making. The clear is Ariadne's existing scheduled pod cleanup, which only removes pods that have already succeeded or failed, so nothing running is touched. This is the failure behind lesavka's open issue and behind two stalled demo runs tonight. Critically, all three remediations are now described in the triage prompt. They were wired in Ariadne but absent from what Hermes is told, so Hermes could never have requested them - the allowlist would have advertised capability that could not fire. A test now asserts every allowlisted action id appears in the prompt, so the two cannot drift apart again. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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.
