Polycrate CLI 0.29.1 released: Ansible Upgrade and Secrets Registry Merge

With version 0.29.1, Polycrate receives an important maintenance release with an Ansible upgrade for kubernetes.core compatibility.

Python & Ansible Upgrade

Upgrade from Python 3.11 to 3.12 and Ansible 10.7.0 to 13.2.0 to access modern Ansible modules.

Background: The take_ownership parameter for kubernetes.core.helm was added in version 6.1.0. This allows the takeover of existing Kubernetes resources during Helm upgrades.

# Now supported:
- name: Install with Helm
  kubernetes.core.helm:
    name: my-release
    chart_ref: oci://registry/chart
    take_ownership: true  # NEW in kubernetes.core 6.1.0+

Secrets Registry Merge

The registry stanza from secrets.poly is now correctly merged into the workspace configuration.

Problem: Previously, registry credentials in secrets.poly were ignored.

Solution: Public settings in workspace.poly are combined with encrypted credentials from secrets.poly:

# workspace.poly (public)
registry:
  endpoint: "cargo.ayedo.cloud"

# secrets.poly (encrypted)
registry:
  username: "robot+my-user"
  password: "super-secret-token"

Migration

No migration required.

• Existing workspaces continue to function unchanged
• Container image needs to be repulled
• secrets.poly files with registry stanza are now processed correctly
