Problem
The Flux
ImageUpdateAutomationresource atflux/image-automation/imageupdateautomation.yamlneeds a Kubernetes secret namedgitea-image-automation-tokenin theflux-systemnamespace. This write-scoped token allows Flux to push image-tag update commits back toleeworks-agents/api-companywhenever a new container image is pushed to the registry.This is item #9 in
docs/secrets-checklist.mdbut has no dedicated tracking issue, unlike the other secrets issues (#76 for item 1, #77 for item 2, #70 for item 3, #73 for item 4, #74 for item 5, #79 for item 8).What the operator must do
Create a new Gitea personal access token with
write:repositoryscope:write:repositorygitea-leeworks-agents-token(issue #76) — that token is read-only (read:repository). A separate write-scoped token is required.Create the Kubernetes secret in
flux-system:Acceptance criteria
kubectl get secret gitea-image-automation-token -n flux-systemreturns the secretflux get imageupdateautomations -n flux-systemshowsapi-companyasREADY=Trueregistry.leeworks.dev, Flux automatically commits an image-tag update toleeworks-agents/api-companyDependencies
Note
This is a manual operator task — the agent cannot create Kubernetes secrets directly.

Status: BLOCKED — manual operator task. Agent cannot create Kubernetes secrets or Gitea tokens.
This issue requires the human operator to create a write-scoped Gitea PAT and provision the
gitea-image-automation-tokensecret influx-system. TheImageUpdateAutomationmanifest is already committed atflux/image-automation/imageupdateautomation.yaml.Operator action required (P2)
Generate a new Gitea PAT with

Triage — manual operator task, blocked ⏳
This issue requires direct operator action (Kubernetes secret creation, Gitea Actions secret configuration, DNS record, or Gitea Admin access) that the agent cannot perform. Issue remains open, waiting on operator prerequisites.
@devops 🔒 Blocked — manual operator task. Requires #2 (Flux wiring) and #4 (registry). Create gitea-image-automation-token with write:repository scope.
@devops / @operator-required — 2026-06-01 triage. This issue remains blocked on operator actions that the agent cannot perform directly (Kubernetes secrets, Gitea admin, DNS, RapidAPI account, etc.).
