Feat: AIAC Event Broker + Keycloak SPI listener (phase 2, PR 2)

[oblinder]

Summary

Follow-up to #752 in the series toward #646 (AIAC phase 2 — platform
integration). This PR lands the Event Broker consumer and the Keycloak
SPI event-listener — the plumbing for event-driven onboarding — as
implemented-but-inactive code. Nothing is wired live yet: the NATS broker
and the Keycloak SPI listener are both opt-in deployments, so with the default
manifests no events are produced or consumed. A later PR completes the live
Keycloak → Event Broker → AIAC Agent integration.

Stacked on #752 — do not merge first. #752 must merge before this one.
Its base is upstream main (the aiac-phase2-opa head branch lives on the
fork and can't serve as a PR base here), so until #752 lands this PR's diff
overlaps with it. Once #752 merges, this branch rebases onto main and the
diff collapses to just the changes below.

What's in this PR (delta on top of #752)

Event Broker — NATS JetStream consumer

• aiac/src/aiac/agent/eventbus/consumer.py + stream.py: a durable
  aiac-agent-consumer queue-group consumer that mirrors the Controller's
  /apply/* HTTP routes — on each message it runs the same use-case handler +
  compute_and_apply sequence and awaits completion before acking.
• Hardened connection handling: initial-connect retries with exponential
  backoff (broker down at boot is waited out, not crashed), indefinite
  reconnect, sync handlers offloaded via asyncio.to_thread under a lock to
  keep processing serial without blocking the loop.
• DLQ semantics: on the 5th unacked delivery (max_deliver=5) the consumer
  republishes to aiac.apply.dlq and terminates the message (JetStream
  WorkQueue has no native dead-letter routing).
• aiac/src/aiac/agent/init/wait_and_provision.py: init-time provisioning helper.
• aiac/k8s/event-broker-deployment.yaml: NATS deployment (opt-in;
  imagePullPolicy: Never, side-loaded like the other AIAC manifests).

Keycloak SPI event-listener (Java) — Keycloak integration code, not yet wired

• aiac/keycloak-spi/: a Keycloak EventListenerProviderFactory SPI that maps
  Keycloak events → the minimal {id} subject payload and best-effort-publishes
  to NATS (AiacEventListenerProvider, SubjectMapper, Dockerfile, Makefile,
  pom.xml, README) + SubjectMapperTest.
• Installed into Keycloak only when you choose to build/deploy it — inert until then.

Docs & specs

• aiac/docs/specs/components/keycloak-spi-listener.md — new component PRD
  (issue feat: Allow route based TARGET_AUDIENCE configuration #69): event→subject mapping, minimal payload, best-effort publish
  semantics, config, build/deploy, test seam.
• event-broker.md, aiac-agent.md, PRD.md — DLQ corrected to
  consumer-republish, shipped consumer modules named, section wiring.
• aiac/CLAUDE.md — external-reference update: the upstream dev guide moved
  from Kagenti to the Rosso Developer Guide
  (rossoctl/rossoctl/blob/main/docs/dev-guide.md).

Tests

• aiac/test/agent/eventbus/ + aiac/test/agent/init/: dispatch routing,
  await-before-ack ordering, clean lifespan cancellation, connect-failure
  backoff, dotted-role subject routing.

Testing

• .venv/bin/pytest test/ -m "not integration" → 492 passed (includes the
  new eventbus/init tests). Integration tests deselected (need a live cluster).
• pre-commit run --files <delta> → all hooks pass on the changed files.

Pre-PR / dev-guide notes

• Feature-flag gating: the Rosso Dev Guide asks for new features to be
  disabled by default. This feature is disabled by deployment — the consumer
  code runs in the Controller lifespan but has nothing to consume until the
  (opt-in) NATS broker and Keycloak SPI listener are deployed, which the default
  manifests do not do. The follow-up integration PR will wire it live.
• DCO check (red — please disregard): the DCO check reports failure, but
  not because of a missing/invalid sign-off — every commit is properly
  signed. Its own summary says it "could not be evaluated because the complete
  pull request commit list could not be retrieved" (GitHub returned 250 commits
  from the REST API and the GraphQL fallback did not complete). This PR's range
  is ~378 commits only because it's stacked on the unmerged Feat: AIAC OPA plugin integration + live enforcement (phase 2, PR 1) #752 and carries
  its full history. Once Feat: AIAC OPA plugin integration + live enforcement (phase 2, PR 1) #752 merges and this rebases onto main, the count
  drops well under the 250-commit limit and DCO evaluates cleanly. No history
  rewrite is needed.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to 21bd3

The PR adds an opt-in NATS and Keycloak event path, but events can still be lost, duplicated, misrouted, or silently stop processing during broker failures, slow work, or pod replacement; the documented deployment can also fail because of an image-tag mismatch and lacks required runtime safeguards. The PR is unsafe to merge until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Event Broker + Keycloak SPI lands cleanly on top of #752 — NATS consumer, stream setup, init container, Java SPI, and Keycloak dep bumps all look solid. CI passes, 40 commits all signed. Two findings:

Findings:

1. [nit] event-broker-deployment.yaml: NATS image uses nats:latest — consistent with the other AIAC images that use imagePullPolicy: Never (local Kind side-load), but latest with IfNotPresent means a stale cached image is silently reused on restarts. Pin to a specific version (e.g. nats:2.10-alpine) so upgrades are explicit.

2. [nit] aiac/keycloak-spi/target/ committed to source tree — target/classes/META-INF/services/org.keycloak.events.EventListenerProviderFactory is a Maven build artifact (generated output). It should be excluded via .gitignore so it isn't stale in the repo after a rebuild. The target/ directory is conventionally gitignored for Maven projects.

[clawgenti]

[nit] nats:latest with imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent means a cached stale image is reused silently after the first pull. Pin to a specific version (e.g. nats:2.10-alpine) — matches the practice of explicit versioning used elsewhere in the AIAC manifests.

[oblinder]

Good catch — pinned to `nats:2.14-alpine` (current stable 2.x, alpine variant to match the smaller-image practice) in `010215ff`, and updated the `event-broker.md` runtime spec to match. Went minor-pinned rather than a full patch pin so it still picks up 2.14.x security patches.

[clawgenti]

[nit] This file is a Maven build artifact (target/ output). It should be listed in aiac/keycloak-spi/.gitignore (or the root .gitignore) rather than committed — it will go stale as soon as anyone rebuilds, and target/ contents are conventionally excluded from VCS for Maven projects.

[oblinder]

Agreed — the whole `aiac/keycloak-spi/target/` tree is now untracked (`git rm --cached`) and a `aiac/keycloak-spi/.gitignore` with `target/` was added in `010215ff` so it stays out of VCS. These artifacts had also gone stale after the Keycloak dep changes, so this removes that trap too.

Line 68 confirms that ack() occurs, but it does not confirm that it occurs after compute_and_apply(). Record the call order and assert ["apply", "ack"]. This protects the required completion-before-acknowledgement contract.

Inline comments:
In `@aiac/k8s/aiac-deployment-guide.md`:
- Around line 198-205: Update the port-forward verification steps around the
kubectl port-forward and nats pub commands to wait until localhost:4222 accepts
connections, while also detecting and failing if the background port-forward
exits. Only publish the test event after readiness is confirmed.
- Line 46: Align the documented NATS image references in the deployment guide
with the manifest’s nats:2.14-alpine tag, including the image-loading commands
and the stock-image statement. Ensure every guide reference uses the same tag as
event-broker-deployment.yaml.
- Around line 190-191: Update the tunnel cleanup in the deployment guide to
track each background port-forward process ID when it is created, then terminate
only those recorded processes instead of using the broad pkill command. Preserve
cleanup for all tunnels started by this guide without affecting unrelated
port-forward sessions.
- Around line 152-153: Update the Agent startup documentation around the
aiac-init deployment step to match the actual readiness gate: either add the
Policy Model Store health check and corresponding test to aiac-init, or remove
Policy Model Store from the documented startup dependencies. Keep the guide
consistent with the implemented checks for NATS, AIAC_PDP_CONFIG_URL, and
AIAC_PDP_POLICY_URL.

In `@aiac/k8s/event-broker-deployment.yaml`:
- Around line 16-29: Update the Pod template containing the nats container to
add the required Pod-level securityContext with runAsNonRoot true, runAsUser
10001, and seccompProfile type RuntimeDefault; add container-level controls
preventing privilege escalation, using a read-only root filesystem, and dropping
capabilities, plus mount a writable emptyDir volume at /tmp.
- Around line 17-29: Add readiness and liveness probes plus CPU and memory
requests and limits to the nats container in the Event Broker deployment.
Configure the probes to check NATS health and ensure the resource configuration
includes all four required fields, while preserving the existing container
arguments, ports, and volume mounts.
- Around line 24-29: Replace the emptyDir volume in the JetStream data volume
used by the event-broker deployment with a PersistentVolumeClaim-backed volume,
defining or referencing a claim with appropriate persistent storage and
preserving the existing /data/jetstream mount. Use a StatefulSet only if
required by the selected storage topology.

In `@aiac/keycloak-spi/Dockerfile`:
- Around line 19-22: Create the aiac user with UID 10001 in the final image,
ensure /opt/keycloak is readable by that user, and set USER 10001 before the
existing CMD in the Dockerfile.

In
`@aiac/keycloak-spi/src/main/java/io/aiac/keycloak/events/AiacEventListenerProviderFactory.java`:
- Around line 48-56: Update AiacEventListenerProviderFactory.postInit and the
provider connection access path to retry NATS connection establishment after an
initial failure, using bounded background retries or retry-on-use. Ensure
successful recovery updates the shared natsConnection so subsequently created or
existing providers use the current connection instead of permanently dropping
events.

In `@aiac/keycloak-spi/src/main/java/io/aiac/keycloak/events/SubjectMapper.java`:
- Around line 40-44: Update SubjectMapper and the corresponding provider
payload-generation and Agent consumer flows to apply one reversible encoding for
role identifiers, preserving dotted names and escaping reserved NATS subject
characters as a single token; decode the same representation before deriving or
using the entity ID. Add coverage for dotted role names and reserved subject
characters, while keeping non-role subject behavior unchanged.

In `@aiac/pyproject.toml`:
- Around line 21-28: Remove the versioned pytest entry from the base project
dependencies and keep pytest>=9.1.1 only in the test optional dependency list.
Regenerate or update the lockfile so pytest is no longer included in aiac’s base
dependencies while remaining available through the test extra.

In `@aiac/src/aiac/agent/controller/requirements.txt`:
- Line 11: Update the httpx dependency declaration in requirements.txt from an
unpinned version to exactly httpx==0.28.1, matching the repository lock
resolution.

In `@aiac/src/aiac/agent/eventbus/consumer.py`:
- Around line 111-116: Update the consumer lifecycle around
asyncio.create_task(consumer.start()) to supervise startup failures with retry
and backoff, so failures in nats.connect(), ensure_stream(), or js.subscribe()
do not permanently disable event processing. During shutdown, cancel the active
task and await its completion before calling consumer.stop(), while preserving
the existing health behavior.
- Around line 92-94: Update the MAX_DELIVER branch in the consumer message
handler to publish DLQ_SUBJECT through the JetStream client and await its
successful PubAck before calling msg.term(). Add coverage for a failed DLQ
publish that verifies msg.term() is not invoked.
- Around line 72-89: Update Consumer._dispatch to prevent JetStream redelivery
during synchronous policy execution by running _handle and compute_and_apply in
a bounded worker and periodically calling msg.in_progress(), or by configuring
ConsumerConfig.ack_wait to cover the full retry budget. Add a slow-handler test
verifying no redelivery occurs before msg.ack().

In `@aiac/src/aiac/agent/eventbus/stream.py`:
- Around line 57-60: Update the BadRequestError handling around add_stream() so
only _STREAM_CONFIG_MISMATCH_ERR_CODE is treated as an existing-stream case and
suppressed; re-raise all other BadRequestError instances instead of logging them
as already existing. Adjust the affected test in test_stream.py to assert
propagation for unexpected error codes.

Wait for the NATS port-forward before publishing.

The guide starts kubectl port-forward in the background and immediately proceeds to nats pub. The publish can run before local port 4222 is ready, which makes the verification flaky. Wait for localhost:4222 to accept connections and fail if the port-forward exits.

NATS JetStream consumer AckWait default 30 seconds explicit acknowledgement msg.in_progress semantics nats-py

💡 Result:

In NATS JetStream, the AckWait setting defines the duration the server waits for an acknowledgment (explicit or otherwise) before it considers a delivered message failed and triggers a redelivery [1][2][3]. The default AckWait value is 30 seconds [1][3][4]. Regarding your specific questions: 1. Explicit Acknowledgement: When a consumer is configured with AckPolicy.EXPLICIT, the server requires an acknowledgment for every delivered message [1]. If this acknowledgment is not received within the AckWait window, the message is redelivered [1][3]. 2. In-Progress Semantics (nats-py): The in_progress method in nats-py sends a "+WPI" (Work Progress Indicator) acknowledgment to the server [5][6]. This signal informs the JetStream server that the consumer is still actively processing the message, effectively resetting the AckWait timer for that specific message [7]. Unlike standard acknowledgments, in_progress can be called multiple times for a single message to extend the processing window for long-running tasks [5][6]. 3. Best Practice: Because in_progress is a "fire-and-forget" signal and could theoretically be lost in transit, it is recommended to call it periodically—typically at intervals less than half of your configured AckWait (e.g., every 3 seconds for a 10-second AckWait) to ensure the server remains informed of your progress [7][8]. Top results: [1][3][7][5]

Keep JetStream acknowledgements alive during policy execution.

_handle and compute_and_apply run synchronously in the event-loop callback. The onboarding path allows 120-second LLM requests, but ack_wait is not configured, so JetStream uses its 30-second default. The message can be redelivered before processing finishes.

Run the sequence in a bounded worker and periodically call msg.in_progress(), or configure ack_wait for the full retry budget. Add a slow-handler test that checks for no redelivery before msg.ack().

nats-py 2.15.0 Client.publish JetStreamContext.publish PubAck source

💡 Result:

In nats-py 2.15.0, the JetStreamContext.publish() method is an asynchronous operation that publishes a message to JetStream and waits for an acknowledgment from the NATS server [1]. It returns a PubAck object [2][1]. The PubAck is a dataclass defined in nats.js.api [2]. Key details include: - Purpose: It serves as confirmation that the message was stored by the JetStream server [3]. - Attributes: It contains information such as the stream name and the sequence number (seq) of the stored message [2]. - Behavior: Unlike Client.publish(), which is a fire-and-forget core NATS publish that returns None [4][1], JetStreamContext.publish() delegates to the underlying request-reply mechanism to ensure the message has been successfully persisted [5]. If the publish fails (e.g., due to a timeout or no responders), it will raise an exception [3]. For applications requiring higher throughput, JetStreamContext.publish_async() is often used, which returns an asyncio.Future instead of awaiting the PubAck immediately [6].

Publish the DLQ message through JetStream before terminating the source message.

self._nc.publish() does not return a JetStream PubAck, so msg.term() can run without confirmation that aiac.apply.dlq was persisted. Use await self._nc.jetstream().publish(DLQ_SUBJECT, msg.data) and terminate only after it succeeds. Add a test that makes the DLQ publish fail and asserts that msg.term() is not called.

nats.py documentation connect initial connection retry allow_reconnect max_reconnect_attempts nats.connect

💡 Result:

In the nats.py library, the nats.connect method is used to establish a connection to a NATS server [1][2]. The connection process includes built-in support for retries and reconnection [3]. Key parameters for controlling connection behavior include: allow_reconnect: A boolean option that defaults to True [1][4]. When enabled, the client will attempt to reconnect if the connection to the NATS server is lost [3]. If set to False, the client will fail on the first error or disconnection [3][4]. max_reconnect_attempts: An integer option that defaults to 60 [1][4]. This defines the maximum number of attempts the client will make to reconnect to a specific server before giving up [3][5]. Once a server exceeds this limit, it is removed from the connection pool [5]. If the client exhausts all servers in the pool, the connection closes and an error is raised [3][5]. Setting this value to -1 enables unlimited retries [3][4]. Important Note: Be aware that there are multiple versions of the library. Some newer implementations have introduced parameter changes (e.g., renaming max_reconnect_attempts to reconnect_max_attempts and changing the default value to 10) [6]. Always verify the version of nats.py being used in your project to ensure compatibility with these parameters [6]. Additional connection options include: reconnect_time_wait: Controls the duration to wait (in seconds) between reconnect attempts [1][7]. connect_timeout: Sets the timeout (in seconds) for the initial connection attempt [1][4].

Unlike some other clients, nats.py's connect call handles retries internally; it cycles through the provided server pool until it successfully connects or exhausts all reconnection attempts per server [5][6]. If allow_reconnect is set to False (default is True), the call will fail on the first error [5][6]. If max_reconnect_attempts is set to -1, the client will attempt to connect indefinitely [5][6]. Reconnection Behavior: The client is designed to be resilient, automatically attempting to reconnect if the connection to the current server is lost [7]. 1. Reconnection Logic: Upon detecting a disconnect, if allow_reconnect is enabled, the client enters a RECONNECTING status and spawns an asynchronous task (_attempt_reconnect) to manage the process [1][2]. 2. Server Pool: The client maintains a pool of servers [1][2]. During reconnection, it can iterate through this pool to find an available server [1][2]. A recent update added support for a reconnect_to_server_handler that allows custom logic for selecting the next server to dial during reconnection [5][8][6]. 3. Reconnect Budget: The client tracks reconnection attempts per server, not per total outage [5][6]. When a successful connection is established with a server, its individual reconnect counter is reset to zero [6][2]. 4. Configuration: Key options include: - max_reconnect_attempts: Defaults to 60. Limits how many times the client will try to reconnect to a specific server before dropping it from the pool [5][6][4]. Setting this to -1 allows for unlimited retries [5][6]. - reconnect_time_wait: The interval in seconds to wait between reconnection attempts [4]. - allow_reconnect: A boolean enabling or disabling the automatic reconnection logic [5][6][4]. The library ensures that upon a successful reconnection, subscriptions are automatically re-established [7], requiring no manual intervention from the application programmer [7].

Supervise consumer startup failures.

If consumer.start() raises during nats.connect(), ensure_stream(), or js.subscribe(), the task terminates and no consumer starts again. /health still returns 200, so event processing can remain inactive while the pod is ready. Add retry with backoff, and cancel and await the task during shutdown before consumer.stop().

nats-py 2.15.0 JetStreamContext add_stream BadRequestError err_code 10058 implementation

💡 Result:

The error code 10058 (JSStreamNameExistErr) in NATS JetStream signifies that a stream with the specified name already exists but has a different configuration than the one provided in your add_stream call [1][2][3]. In NATS, the add_stream operation is designed to be idempotent [1]. This means that if you call add_stream for a stream that already exists, the operation will only succeed if the existing stream's configuration matches the new request exactly [1]. If the configuration differs—such as a change in subjects, storage type, or retention policy—the NATS server returns a BadRequestError with the error code 10058 [1][2][3]. When using nats-py 2.15.0, this error is surfaced to the client as a BadRequestError (a subclass of APIError) [4]. To resolve this, you have two primary options: 1. Match the configuration: Ensure that the StreamConfig provided in your add_stream call matches the existing stream's configuration exactly [1]. 2. Update the stream: If you intend to change the stream's configuration, use the update_stream method instead of add_stream [5]. You can verify the current configuration of the existing stream by using the stream_info method in the nats-py JetStream context before attempting to add or update it [5].

Propagate unexpected stream-provisioning errors.

If add_stream() raises BadRequestError with an error code other than 10058, re-raise it instead of logging "stream already exists". Only an identical stream configuration is idempotent; other errors can indicate invalid settings or subject conflicts. Update aiac/test/agent/eventbus/test_stream.py lines 42–46 to expect propagation.

This PR lands the NATS JetStream event consumer, Keycloak SPI listener, and aiac-init init container — all as implemented-but-inactive code gated behind the Event Broker deployment.

• routes.py now has a duplicate /health endpoint (lines 29–35 and the existing one at line ~38 in context). The new handler is unreachable; remove one.
• lifespan backgrounds the consumer.start() task but cancels it at shutdown without awaiting task.cancel() — a CancelledError may surface in logs on clean shutdown; consider task.cancel(); await asyncio.gather(task, return_exceptions=True).
• event-broker-deployment.yaml uses emptyDir for JetStream storage — state is lost on pod restart. Fine for dev but should be noted; a PVC is needed for production durability.

Duplicate /health endpoint — this definition at line 29 is shadowed by (or shadows) an existing @app.get("/health") visible in the diff context at line 38. One of these is unreachable; the duplicate should be removed.

[clawgenti]

task.cancel() schedules cancellation but the finally block does not await it, so _dispatch may still be mid-execution when consumer.stop() drains the subscription. Consider task.cancel(); await asyncio.gather(task, return_exceptions=True) before await consumer.stop() to ensure clean shutdown.

[clawgenti]

emptyDir is ephemeral — JetStream state (the aiac-events stream and any unprocessed messages) is lost on pod restart or eviction. The aiac-init container will recreate the stream, but in-flight messages are gone. This is acceptable for dev; a comment noting a PVC is needed for production would help reviewers.
