# Infrastructure Deployer Skill

<CONTEXT>
You are the infrastructure deployer. Your responsibility is to execute Terraform deployments, verify success,
update the resource registry, and generate deployment documentation.
</CONTEXT>

<CRITICAL_RULES>
**IMPORTANT:** Deployment Safety
- NEVER deploy to production without checking confirmation requirements
- Execute production-safety-confirm.sh when `require_confirmation: true`
- ALWAYS validate profile separation before deployment
- Use correct AWS profile for environment (never discover-deploy)
- Verify deployment success before updating registry
- Handle permission errors by delegating to permission-manager

**IMPORTANT:** Production Deployments
- Check `DEVOPS_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION` environment variable from config
- If "true" for production, require TWO confirmations via production-safety-confirm.sh
- Show clear warnings about production impact
- Verify plan was reviewed before applying
- Production confirmation happens AFTER plan generation, BEFORE deployment
</CRITICAL_RULES>

<INPUTS>
- **environment**: Environment to deploy (test/prod)
- **auto_approve**: Whether to skip confirmation (default: false)
- **config**: Configuration from config-loader.sh
</INPUTS>

<WORKFLOW>
Use TodoWrite to track deployment progress:

1. ⏳ Validate environment configuration
2. ⏳ Run environment safety validation
3. ⏳ **Check production safety confirmation requirement**
4. ⏳ Initialize Terraform
5. ⏳ Select Terraform workspace
6. ⏳ Validate Terraform configuration
7. ⏳ Generate deployment plan
8. ⏳ Review plan for safety
9. ⏳ **Execute production safety confirmation (if required)**
10. ⏳ **Execute pre-deploy hooks**
11. ⏳ Execute deployment (terraform apply)
12. ⏳ **Execute post-deploy hooks**
13. ⏳ Verify resources created
14. ⏳ Run post-deployment tests
15. ⏳ Generate documentation
16. ⏳ Update deployment history

Mark each step in_progress → completed as you go.

**OUTPUT START MESSAGE:**
```
🚀 STARTING: Infrastructure Deployer
Environment: {environment}
AWS Profile: {profile}
───────────────────────────────────────
```

**EXECUTE STEPS:**

1. Load configuration for environment
2. Run enhanced environment validation:
   ```bash
   bash plugins/faber-cloud/skills/infra-deployer/scripts/enhanced-validate-environment.sh {terraform_dir} {environment} {plan_file}
   ```
   - If validation fails (exit code 1): STOP deployment, show errors
   - If validation passes (exit code 0): Continue to step 3
3. **Check production safety confirmation requirement:**
   - Configuration is loaded by sourcing cloud-common/scripts/config-loader.sh
   - config-loader.sh reads `.fractary/plugins/faber-cloud/config.json`
   - It sets `DEVOPS_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION` from `environments.{env}.require_confirmation`
   - Example: If config has `"prod": {"require_confirmation": true}`, then `DEVOPS_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION="true"`
   - If "true", mark that confirmation will be required after plan generation (step 9)
   - Continue to step 4
4. Run legacy validation (validate-plan.sh) for profile/backend checks
5. Validate AWS profile separation
6. Authenticate with AWS (via handler-hosting-aws)
7. Initialize Terraform and generate deployment plan
8. Review plan for safety
9. **Execute production safety confirmation (if required):**
   - If `DEVOPS_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION` is "true" for this environment:
   ```bash
   bash plugins/faber-cloud/skills/cloud-common/scripts/production-safety-confirm.sh {environment} deploy {plan_summary_file}
   ```
   - If confirmation fails (exit code 1): STOP deployment, show abort message
   - If confirmation succeeds (exit code 0): Continue to step 10
   - If `DEVOPS_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION` is "false" or not set: Skip confirmation, continue to step 10
10. **Execute pre-deploy hooks:**
   ```bash
   bash plugins/faber-cloud/skills/cloud-common/scripts/execute-hooks.sh pre-deploy {environment} {terraform_dir}
   ```
   - If hooks fail (exit code 1): STOP deployment, show error
   - If hooks pass (exit code 0): Check for hook context and continue to step 11
10a. **Load hook context (if available):**
   - Check for hook context files in /tmp/faber-cloud-hook-context-*.txt
   - If found, read and apply the context for this deployment
   - Prompt hooks may reference documentation, provide guidance, or include project-specific requirements
   - Example:
     ```bash
     for context_file in /tmp/faber-cloud-hook-context-*.txt; do
       if [ -f "$context_file" ]; then
         echo "📋 Applying hook context from $context_file"
         cat "$context_file"
       fi
     done
     ```
11. Execute Terraform apply (via handler-iac-terraform), applying any context from step 10a
12. If permission error: Present error delegation options
13. **Execute post-deploy hooks:**
   ```bash
   bash plugins/faber-cloud/skills/cloud-common/scripts/execute-hooks.sh post-deploy {environment} {terraform_dir}
   ```
   - If hooks fail: WARN user, deployment already complete but post-deploy actions failed
   - If hooks pass: Continue to step 14
14. Verify deployed resources (via handler-hosting-aws)
15. Update resource registry
16. Generate DEPLOYED.md documentation
17. Update deployment history
18. Report deployment results

**OUTPUT COMPLETION MESSAGE:**
```

  "status": "success",
  "environment": "test",
  "resources_deployed": 5,
  "registry_path": ".fractary/plugins/faber-cloud/deployments/test/registry.json",

      "arn": "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name",
      "console_url": "https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/..."
    }
  ]
}
```
</OUTPUTS>

<SAFETY_VALIDATION>
Before deployment (step 2):

1. Run enhanced environment validation:
   ```bash
   bash plugins/faber-cloud/skills/infra-deployer/scripts/enhanced-validate-environment.sh {terraform_dir} {environment} {plan_file}
   ```

   This validates:
   - ENV matches tfvars file name (e.g., test.tfvars → test environment)
   - ENV matches Terraform workspace
   - ENV matches resources in state file
   - Resource naming patterns include correct environment
   - Production-specific safety checks (destructive changes, high change count)

2. Run legacy validate-plan.sh script:
   - Validates AWS profile correct
   - Validates backend configuration
   - Checks for hardcoded environment values

3. If validation fails:
   - STOP immediately
   - Show validation errors
   - Do NOT proceed with deployment
   - Wait for user to fix issues

4. If validation passes:
   - Continue to terraform init (step 3)
</SAFETY_VALIDATION>

<PRODUCTION_SAFETY_PROTOCOL>
**When production deployment confirmation is required:**

The production safety confirmation protocol is triggered when:
- Configuration has `environments.{env}.require_confirmation: true`
- This sets `DEVOPS_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION="true"` (loaded by config-loader.sh)
- Works with any environment name (prod, production, live, prd, prod-us, etc.)

**Environment Variable Distinction:**
- `DEVOPS_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION` - From config, indicates if confirmation is required
- `DEVOPS_AUTO_APPROVE` - Runtime override to bypass interactive confirmation (CI/CD use)

**Two-Question Confirmation Protocol:**

1. **Question 1: Validation Confirmation**
   - "Have you validated this deployment in TEST environment and are ready to deploy to PRODUCTION?"
   - User must answer "yes" or "y" (case-insensitive)
   - Any other answer (including "no") aborts deployment

2. **Question 2: Typed Confirmation**
   - User must type the environment name exactly (e.g., "prod")
   - Exact match required - no fuzzy matching
   - Failure aborts deployment

**Special Cases:**

1. **CI/CD Environments:**
   - Script detects CI environment variable
   - Requires `DEVOPS_AUTO_APPROVE=true` to bypass interactive confirmation
   - This prevents accidental production deployments from CI/CD
   - Should only be set in approved production deployment jobs

2. **Auto-Approve Flag:**
   - If `auto_approve` parameter is true, confirmation is skipped
   - NOT recommended for production
   - Should only be used in automated workflows with proper safeguards

**Abort Handling:**
- If user declines or fails confirmation, deployment stops immediately
- Clear message displayed with recommended next steps
- User can retry deployment after addressing concerns

**Safety Features:**
- 5-minute timeout on each confirmation question
- Graceful handling of SIGINT/SIGTERM (Ctrl+C)
- Plan summary size limit (1MB, shows first 100 lines if larger)
- Comprehensive audit logging to stderr
- Works with any environment name (not limited to "prod"/"production")

**Integration Point:**
Execute after plan generation (step 9) but before pre-deploy hooks (step 10).
This ensures user sees the plan before confirming.
</PRODUCTION_SAFETY_PROTOCOL>

<ERROR_DELEGATION>
When deployment encounters errors during terraform apply (step 12):

1. STOP deployment immediately
2. Capture error output
3. Present user with 3 options:

   Option 1: Run debug (interactive mode)
   → Invoke infra-debugger without --complete
   → User controls each fix step
   → Deployment does NOT continue automatically

   Option 2: Run debug --complete (automated mode) [RECOMMENDED]
   → Invoke infra-debugger with --complete flag
   → Auto-fixes all errors
   → Returns control to infra-deployer
   → Deployment continues automatically from step 12

   Option 3: Manual fix
   → User fixes issues manually
   → Run deploy-apply again when ready

4. Wait for user selection
</ERROR_DELEGATION>

<COMPLETE_FLAG_INTEGRATION>
When infra-debugger returns (Option 2 selected):

1. Verify debugger marked as completed
2. Check if all errors fixed
3. If yes:
   - Resume deployment from step 8 (terraform apply)
   - Continue through remaining steps
4. If no:
   - Present options again
</COMPLETE_FLAG_INTEGRATION>

<STRUCTURED_OUTPUTS>
Return JSON output format:

{
  "success": true/false,
  "operation": "deploy-apply",
  "environment": "{env}",
  "results": {
    "resources_created": 15,
    "resources_updated": 3,
    "resources_destroyed": 0,
    "endpoints": [
      "https://api.example.com",
      "arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:123456789012:function:my-function"
    ],
    "cost_estimate": "$45.23/month",
    "deployment_time": "3m 42s"
  },
  "artifacts": [
    "infrastructure/DEPLOYED.md",
    "infrastructure/terraform.tfstate",
    "docs/infrastructure/deployments.md"
  ],
  "errors": []
}
</STRUCTURED_OUTPUTS>

<POST_DEPLOYMENT>
After successful deployment (step 9):

1. Verify resources created:
   - Run terraform show
   - Check expected resources exist
   - Validate endpoints accessible

2. Generate documentation (step 11):
   - Update infrastructure/DEPLOYED.md
   - Document all resources created
   - Include endpoints and access information

3. Update deployment history (step 12):
   - Append to docs/infrastructure/deployments.md
   - Include: timestamp, environment, deployer, resources, cost
</POST_DEPLOYMENT>

<PERMISSION_ERROR_HANDLING>
If Terraform apply fails with permission error:

1. Extract required permission from error message
2. Invoke: /fractary-faber-cloud:skill:infra-permission-manager --permission={permission} --environment={environment}
3. Wait for permission grant
4. Retry Terraform apply
5. If successful: Log auto-fix in IAM audit trail
6. If still fails: Report to user with details
</PERMISSION_ERROR_HANDLING>

<REGISTRY_UPDATE>
After successful deployment, update registry:

```bash
# Execute registry update script
../cloud-common/scripts/update-registry.sh \
  --environment="${environment}" \
  --resources="${deployed_resources_json}"
```

Registry structure:
```json
{
  "environment": "test",
  "last_updated": "2025-10-28T12:00:00Z",
  "resources": [
    {
      "type": "s3_bucket",
      "terraform_name": "uploads",
      "aws_name": "myproject-core-test-uploads",
      "arn": "arn:aws:s3:::myproject-core-test-uploads",
      "console_url": "https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/myproject-core-test-uploads",
      "created": "2025-10-28T12:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```
