Added a guided workflow for creating execution-environment definitions, with validation for names, base images, and supported publishing options.
The workflow combines collection and package requirements, generates build configuration and a README, and supports publishing through GitHub or GitLab.
Added repository checks and publishing details, including pull-request or merge-request information for existing repositories.
Execution environments are registered in the catalog, with cleanup results reported during handoff.

Walkthrough
The changes add execution-environment scaffolder actions, input validation, configuration generation, and template and README output. The workflow supports GitHub and GitLab publishing, catalog registration, and execution-environment lifecycle cleanup.
Changes
Execution Environment Scaffolder
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Lifecycle and input contracts workspaces/aap/plugins/backstage-rhaap-common/*, workspaces/portal-scaffolder/plugins/portal-scaffolder-backend-module/src/actions/schemas/*
The common package exports the execution-environment lifecycle service contract. The input schema and tests define accepted fields and validation rules.
The action transforms collection sources, merges package inputs, builds registry and server configuration, and groups build steps. Tests cover these configuration paths.
Create scaffold and hand off catalog data workspaces/portal-scaffolder/plugins/portal-scaffolder-backend-module/src/actions/createEEDefinition.ts, workspaces/portal-scaffolder/plugins/portal-scaffolder-backend-module/src/actions/createEEDefinition.test.ts
The action downloads and distributes scaffold files, patches workflow and Ansible configuration, and attempts lifecycle cleanup before SCM or catalog handoff. Tests cover file handling and handoff outcomes.
Generate template and README workspaces/portal-scaffolder/plugins/portal-scaffolder-backend-module/src/actions/templates/*, workspaces/portal-scaffolder/plugins/portal-scaffolder-backend-module/src/actions/createEEDefinition.test.ts
The generated template defines form inputs, publishing and build steps, and conditional output links. The README generator formats execution-environment details and usage instructions.
The new tests would fail as written, and generated execution environments always disable certificate checks when downloading collections. Fix the test assertions and decide how to scope the certificate workaround before merging. The repository-name validation and README issues are small follow-ups.

Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description explains the execution-environment actions, lifecycle-service integration, runtime behavior, related issue, and validation coverage. It does not use every template heading and does not include an explicit type-of-change or checklist section, but the required context is mostly present.
Full details: No-Hardcoded-Secrets
Explanation
No hardcoded secret was introduced. The non-test code passes runtime credentials, references ${{ secrets.USER_OAUTH_TOKEN }}, and generates token environment-variable placeholders; it contains no literal API key, password, private key, credential value, or URL with embedded credentials. The service-token, plugin-token, and test-token values occur only in Jest mock setup and are clearly fixture values covered by the exception. No qualifying long base64 string was found.
Full details: No-Weak-Crypto
Explanation
No weak-crypto condition is introduced. The only cryptographic API is Node randomBytes(2) in prepareForPublish.ts:4,142-144, used to create a branch-name suffix, not to protect or compare a secret. The changed files contain no MD5, SHA-1, DES, 3DES, RC4, Blowfish, or ECB usage, no custom crypto implementation, and no non-constant-time secret or token comparison.
Full details: No-Injection-Vectors
Explanation
No listed injection vector is introduced. The changed production code has no SQL concatenation, eval/exec, pickle.loads, yaml.load, os.system, shell=True, or dangerouslySetInnerHTML. Its two executeShellCommand calls use constant tar/rm commands and the constant ee-scaffold.tar argument. Template generation uses js-yamldump, not unsafe YAML loading.
Full details: Container-Privileges
Explanation
No explicit container-privilege failure is introduced. The reviewed diff adds TypeScript, tests, package exports, and generated Backstage template/catalog YAML. It adds no container or Kubernetes manifest with privileged, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation, or root runtime settings.
Full details: Ai-Attribution
Explanation
No AI coding tool is named in the PR description or the three commit messages. Parsed commit trailers are empty, and the patch contains no AI attribution or AI-tool trailer. Therefore, no attribution trailer is required and no prohibited AI Co-Authored-By trailer is present.
Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs
Explanation
High security risk: the new EE action writes raw user-controlled and environment-derived values to logs. createEEDefinition.ts:125 logs the base image, and lines 155-178 serialize collections, Python requirements, system packages, and arbitrary build commands. These values can contain private registry or SCM hostnames, customer data, embedded package credentials, or secrets in build commands. prepareForPublish.ts:134-166 also logs repository URLs and names, including enterprise SCM hostnames. The PR introduces these logging paths; no redaction is applied.
Resolution
Remove raw-value logging, especially the serialized input arrays and base image. Do not log build commands, requirement strings, collection URLs, repository names, or generated URLs. If diagnostics are required, log only fixed event names and non-sensitive identifiers after explicit redaction. Add tests that provide secret-like values and assert that logger calls do not contain them.
Full details: Docstring Coverage
Explanation
Docstring coverage is 58.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 24 functions across 10 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)
Resolution
Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Fix the assertions that check for messages the action never produces.
These assertions fail against the current handler:
Line 427-429: The test expects logger.warn to contain 'returned 500'.
The mock lifecycle throws HTTP 500.
The handler logs best-effort EE cleanup for "test-ee" failed: HTTP 500.
The text returned 500 never appears.
Line 431-434: The test expects eeCleanupWarning to contain 'HTTP 500'.
The catch block at createEEDefinition.ts Line 358-361 always outputs the fixed text Failed to replace existing EE "test-ee". Creation continues; ....
Line 501-503: The test expects logger.info to contain 'no existing EE catalog entity'.
No code path in createEEDefinition.ts logs this text when cleanup returns mode: 'noop'.
backstage-cli package test therefore fails. The PR says these tests must pass before merge, so this blocks it. Make the assertions match what the action actually does. Alternatively, add the missing noop info log to the handler.
expect(ctx.output).toHaveBeenCalledWith('eeCleanupStatus', 'noop');
- expect(logger.info).toHaveBeenCalledWith(- expect.stringContaining('no existing EE catalog entity'),- );

Galaxy certificate checks stay disabled when registryTlsVerify is true.
patchAnsibleCfgGalaxyIgnoreCerts runs whenever ansibleConfigContent is set. It always writes ignore_certs = true under [galaxy]. No TLS input gates this write. registryTlsVerify defaults to true, so the default configuration also disables Galaxy certificate validation.
Impact: The [galaxy] ignore_certs setting turns off certificate validation for ansible-galaxy. During the EE build, Galaxy and Private Automation Hub downloads are then unverified. An attacker on the network path can serve altered collections, and those collections run in the built EE image. This is a supply-chain integrity risk.
Do not gate this patch on registryTlsVerify. That flag sets registry_tls_verify for the container registry. It does not describe the Galaxy server. Gating on it would also remove the workaround in the default case, which can break Galaxy downloads from a self-signed PAH. Add a Galaxy-specific TLS input that defaults to verify. Apply the patch only when that input disables verification. Update patches ansible.cfg with ignore_certs when present to set the new input.

Validate repositoryOwner and repositoryName before building generatedRepoUrl.
Risk severity: low. Impact: the repository that was checked and the repository that gets published can differ.
repositoryExists checks the raw repositoryOwner/repositoryName pair.
Line 133 then puts both values into the query string without encoding.
Later steps (publish:github, publish:gitlab:merge-request, github:actions:dispatch, gitlab:pipeline:trigger) parse generatedRepoUrl with query-parameter semantics.
Example: if repositoryName is x&owner=other-org, the URL contains two owner parameters. The parser can resolve owner=other-org, so the publish step targets a repository the existence check never saw. The user's own token still limits access, but the existence check no longer matches the real target.
Fix: validate both inputs against an allow-list at this boundary and reject anything else. Encode the values as well. This aligns with the path instruction "Validate at trust boundaries with allow-lists, not deny-lists" and "anchor regexes (^$)".
Move the validation before the createClient call so that invalid input never reaches the SCM API.

Do not print podman commands when the PAH registry host cannot be resolved.
When PAH is selected and pahBaseUrl is empty or invalid, return an empty registry host. Use registryHost when building imageRef. This prevents the README from printing an invalid podman login Private Automation Hub (PAH) command.
Suggested fix
- if (reg.startsWith('Private Automation Hub') && base) {+ if (reg.startsWith(PAH_SOURCE_PREFIX)) {+ if (!base) return '';
try {
return new URL(base).host;
} catch {
