Zuul
- debugging the Next Problem which has to do with `tls-server-name` not getting into the job's kubeconfig
- Upstream fix https://review.opendev.org/c/zuul/zuul/+/990380
- However, no idea if it will be merged and when a new Zuul release will happen, so looking into hacking the WMCS Zuul k8s hostname into the certificate SANs (longer term fix to avoid having to use `tls-server-name` in the first place)
- However, no idea if my Magnum hack will work :(
Phorge
- Upstream merge ready for testing in devtools, plan to deploy on 2026-06-09. It'll be awesome.
- Wrote upstream code to allow configuring API tokens to have read-only access only
CI reliability
- Quibble Gnu TLS error retry hack deployed
