+# Deploy Current Branch Action
+
+This GitHub composite action builds a Docker image from the current branch commit and deploys it to a KubeVela cluster for development testing.
+
+## What it does
+
+- Generates a unique image tag from the latest commit hash
+- Builds and loads the Docker image into a KinD cluster
+- Applies KubeVela CRDs for upgrade safety
+- Upgrades the KubeVela Helm release to use the local development image
+- Verifies deployment status and the running image version
+
+## Usage
+
+```yaml
+- name: Deploy Current Branch
+  uses: ./path/to/this/action
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Docker, Helm, kubectl, and KinD must be available in your runner environment
+- Kubernetes cluster access
+- `charts/vela-core/crds` directory with CRDs
+- Valid Helm chart at `charts/vela-core`
+
+## Steps performed
+
+1. **Generate commit hash for image tag**
+2. **Build & load Docker image into KinD**
+3. **Pre-apply chart CRDs**
+4. **Upgrade KubeVela using local image**
+5. **Verify deployment and image version**

+# Setup Kind Cluster Action
+
+A GitHub Action that sets up a Kubernetes testing environment using Kind (Kubernetes in Docker) for E2E testing.
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Input | Description | Required | Default |
+|-------|-------------|----------|---------|
+| `k8s-version` | Kubernetes version for the kind cluster | No | `v1.31.9` |
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```yaml
+name: E2E Tests
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      
+      - uses: actions/setup-go@v5
+        with:
+          go-version: '1.21'
+      
+      - name: Setup Kind Cluster
+        uses: ./.github/actions/setup-kind-cluster
+        with:
+          k8s-version: 'v1.31.9'
+      
+      - name: Run tests
+        run: |
+          kubectl cluster-info
+          make test-e2e
+```
+
+## What it does
+
+1. **Installs Kind CLI** - Downloads Kind v0.29.0 using Go
+2. **Cleans up** - Removes any existing Kind clusters
+3. **Creates cluster** - Spins up Kubernetes v1.31.9 cluster
+4. **Sets up environment** - Configures KUBECONFIG for kubectl access
+5. **Loads images** - Builds and loads Docker images using `make image-load`

-                       4. The fields are both imprecise and overly precise.  Kind is not a precise mapping to a URL. This can produce ambiguity

-                          and the version of the actual struct is irrelevant.
-                       5. We cannot easily change it.  Because this type is embedded in many locations, updates to this type
-                          will affect numerous schemas.  Don't make new APIs embed an underspecified API type they do not control.

+
+SECURITY RECOMMENDATION: Both authentication and definition validation are disabled.
+   If KubeVela is running with cluster-admin or other high-level permissions,
+   consider enabling one or both security features:
+
+   1. Authentication with impersonation (recommended for multi-tenant environments):
+      --set authentication.enabled=true 
+      --set authentication.withUser=true
+      This makes KubeVela impersonate the requesting user, applying their RBAC permissions.
+      Note: Both flags must be enabled for user impersonation to work.
+
+   2. Definition permission validation (lightweight RBAC for definitions):
+      --set authorization.definitionValidationEnabled=true
+      This ensures users can only reference definitions they have access to.
+
+   Using both features together provides defense in depth.
+   Without these protections, users can leverage KubeVela's permissions to deploy
+   resources beyond their intended access level.

+# KubeVela Webhook Debugging Guide
+
+This guide explains how to debug KubeVela webhook validation locally, particularly for the feature that validates ComponentDefinitions, TraitDefinitions, and PolicyDefinitions to ensure they don't reference non-existent CRDs.
+
+## Overview
+
+The webhook validation feature checks that CUE templates in definitions only reference Kubernetes resources that exist on the cluster. This prevents runtime errors when non-existent CRDs are referenced.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker Desktop or similar container runtime
+- k3d for local Kubernetes clusters
+- VS Code with Go extension
+- kubectl configured
+- openssl for certificate generation
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# 1. Complete setup (cluster + CRDs + webhook)
+make webhook-debug-setup
+
+# 2. Start VS Code debugger
+# Press F5 and select "Debug Webhook Validation"
+```
+
+## Detailed Setup Steps
+
+### 1. Environment Setup
+
+```bash
+# Create k3d cluster
+make k3d-create
+
+# Install KubeVela CRDs
+make manifests
+kubectl apply -f charts/vela-core/crds/
+```
+
+### 2. Webhook Certificate Setup
+
+The webhook requires TLS certificates with proper Subject Alternative Names (SANs) for IP addresses.
+
+```bash
+# Generate certificates and create Kubernetes secret
+make webhook-setup
+```
+
+This creates:
+- CA certificate and key
+- Server certificate with IP SANs (127.0.0.1, Docker internal IP, local machine IP)
+- Kubernetes Secret `webhook-server-cert` in `vela-system` namespace
+- ValidatingWebhookConfiguration pointing to local debugger
+
+### 3. Start Debugger in VS Code
+
+#### VS Code Launch Configuration
+
+If you're using VSCode add this configuration to `.vscode/launch.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+    "version": "0.2.0",
+    "configurations": [
+        {
+            "name": "Debug Webhook Validation",
+            "type": "go",
+            "request": "launch",
+            "mode": "debug",
+            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/cmd/core",
+            "args": [
+                "--log-debug=true",
+                "--metrics-addr=:8080",
+                "--enable-leader-election=false",
+                "--use-webhook=true",
+                "--webhook-port=9445",
+                "--webhook-cert-dir=${workspaceFolder}/k8s-webhook-server/serving-certs"
+            ],
+            "env": {
+                "KUBECONFIG": "${env:HOME}/.kube/config",
+                "POD_NAMESPACE": "vela-system"
+            },
+            "showLog": false,
+            "console": "integratedTerminal"
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+#### Set Breakpoints
+
+Recommended breakpoint locations:
+- `pkg/webhook/core.oam.dev/v1beta1/componentdefinition/validating_handler.go` - ComponentDefinition handler
+- `pkg/webhook/core.oam.dev/v1beta1/traitdefinition/validating_handler.go` - TraitDefinition handler
+- `pkg/webhook/core.oam.dev/v1beta1/policydefinition/validating_handler.go` - PolicyDefinition handler
+- `pkg/webhook/core.oam.dev/v1beta1/workflowstepdefinition/workflowstep_validating_handler.go` - WorkflowDefinition handler
+
+#### Launch Debugger
+
+1. Open VS Code
+2. Press `F5` or go to Run → Start Debugging
+3. Select **"Debug Webhook Validation"** configuration
+4. Wait for webhook server to start (look for message about port 9445)
+
+The debugger configuration includes:
+- `--use-webhook=true` - Enables webhook server
+- `--webhook-port=9445` - Port for webhook server
+- `--webhook-cert-dir` - Path to certificates
+- `POD_NAMESPACE=vela-system` - Required for finding the secret
+
+## Make Targets Reference
+
+| Target | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `make webhook-help` | Show webhook debugging help |
+| `make webhook-debug-setup` | Complete setup (cluster + CRDs + webhook) |
+| `make k3d-create` | Create k3d cluster |
+| `make k3d-delete` | Delete k3d cluster |
+| `make webhook-setup` | Setup certificates and webhook configuration |
+| `make webhook-clean` | Clean up webhook environment |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Refused Error
+
+If you get "connection refused" errors:
+1. Ensure the debugger is running in VS Code
+2. Check that port 9445 is not blocked by firewall
+3. Verify the webhook server started (check VS Code console)
+
+### TLS Certificate Errors
+
+If you get certificate validation errors:
+1. Regenerate certificates: `make webhook-setup`
+2. Restart the debugger
+3. Ensure IP addresses in certificates match your setup
+
+### Webhook Not Triggering
+
+If the webhook doesn't trigger:
+1. Check ValidatingWebhookConfiguration: `kubectl get validatingwebhookconfiguration`
+2. Verify the webhook URL matches your debugger's IP
+3. Check namespace is correct (vela-system)
+
+### Secret Not Found
+
+If you see "Wait webhook secret" messages:
+1. Ensure the secret exists: `kubectl get secret webhook-server-cert -n vela-system`
+2. Recreate if needed: `make webhook-setup`
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Certificate Generation**: Creates TLS certificates with proper SANs for local IPs
+2. **Secret Creation**: Stores certificates in Kubernetes secret
+3. **Webhook Configuration**: Creates ValidatingWebhookConfiguration pointing to local debugger
+4. **Debugger Startup**: VS Code starts the webhook server on port 9445
+5. **Validation**: When definitions are applied, Kubernetes calls the webhook
+6. **Debugging**: Breakpoints allow stepping through validation logic
+
+## Files and Components
+
+- **Script**: `hack/debug-webhook-setup.sh` - Main setup script
+- **Makefile**: `makefiles/develop.mk` - Make targets for debugging
+- **VS Code Config**: `.vscode/launch.json` - Debugger configuration
+- **Test Files**: `test/webhook-*.yaml` - Test manifests
+- **Validation Logic**: `pkg/webhook/utils/utils.go` - Core validation implementation
+- **Handlers**: `pkg/webhook/core.oam.dev/v1beta1/*/validating_handler.go` - Resource handlers
+
+## Clean Up
+
+```bash
+# Clean up webhook setup
+make webhook-clean
+
+# Delete k3d cluster
+make k3d-delete
+```
+
+## Tips
+
+1. **Always start the debugger before testing** - The webhook configuration points to your local machine
+2. **Use breakpoints wisely** - Too many breakpoints can cause timeouts
+3. **Check logs** - VS Code Debug Console shows detailed logs
+4. **Test both valid and invalid cases** - Ensures validation works correctly
+5. **Keep certificates updated** - Regenerate if IPs change
