Operations Workflows

Use this when touching logs, shell exec, debug containers, port-forward, node drain/maintenance, session lifecycle, operation cancellation, permission-gated actions, or related tests.

Core Contracts

Read:

1. AGENTS.md
2. backend/AGENTS.md
3. frontend/AGENTS.md
4. docs/workflows/logs/overview.md
5. docs/workflows/shell-debug.md
6. docs/architecture/permissions.md
7. docs/architecture/multi-cluster.md
8. docs/architecture/auth.md when cluster auth or recovery is involved
9. docs/workflows/operation-lifecycle.md when touching live operation registry, cleanup, or status behavior

Backend Entry Points

• backend/operations_coordinator.go
• backend/runtime_operations.go
• backend/refresh/containerlogsstream
• backend/resources/pods/logs.go
• backend/resources/nodes/logs.go
• backend/app_log_service_commands.go
• backend/shell_sessions.go
• backend/resources/pods/debug.go
• backend/portforward*.go
• backend/nodemaintenance
• backend/refresh/snapshot/node_maintenance.go
• backend/refresh/snapshot/service.go
• cluster lifecycle cleanup orchestrated by WorkspaceCoordinator and ApplicationLifecycle in backend/cluster_runtime_clients.go, backend/workspace_kubeconfigs.go, and backend/application_lifecycle.go

Frontend Entry Points

• frontend/src/modules/object-panel/components/ObjectPanel/Logs
• frontend/src/modules/object-panel/components/ObjectPanel/NodeLogs
• frontend/src/modules/object-panel/components/ObjectPanel/Shell
• frontend/src/modules/port-forward
• frontend/src/core/refresh/orchestrator.ts
• frontend/src/ui/status/SessionsStatus.tsx
• frontend/src/ui/layout/ClusterTabs.tsx
• frontend/src/shared/components/modals/DrainNodeModal.tsx
• shared drain/maintenance components
• settings or modals that configure these workflows

Checklist

• Requests and events carry clusterId and full target identity.
• Runtime operation entries that target Kubernetes objects carry clusterId, group, version, kind, and concrete namespace/name where applicable.
• Permission checks and capability reasons are visible in the UI.
• Streams, sessions, and long-running operations clean up on close, disconnect, cluster removal, auth failure, and app shutdown.
• Cancellation/stop paths are idempotent.
• Frontend cluster-tab close delegates to KubeconfigContext's unified selection transition; backend selection cleanup handles removed-cluster runtime operations instead of per-workflow cleanup in UI surfaces.
• Shell backlog, port-forward details, and drain history remain owned by their workflow stores; the runtime registry only owns global presence and cleanup.
• Sessions status renders shell sessions and port forwards only; active drains may appear in cluster-close warnings but not as Sessions panel detail rows.
• object-maintenance keeps aggregate and node-specific scopes active concurrently so node drain indicators and an open drain modal do not reset each other.
• object-maintenance remains uncached and singleflight-bypassed in the backend snapshot service because it represents live app-managed drain state.
• Drain progress and history render in DrainNodeModal; keep the active or most recent drain attempt visible after a drain starts or completes.
• Frontend state resets on cluster/namespace/object changes.
• Logs preserve transport-specific behavior documented in the logs docs.
• Tests cover lifecycle, permission-denied, and cleanup behavior.

Validation

Use focused checks while iterating:

mise exec -- go test ./backend ./backend/resources/pods ./backend/resources/nodes ./backend/nodemaintenance
mise exec -- go test ./backend/refresh/snapshot
mise exec -- npm run typecheck --prefix frontend
mise exec -- npm run test --prefix frontend -- Logs Shell port-forward drain orchestrator

Then follow the root final validation gate.
