PLAN-003: Migrate Scripts to New Secrets Paths
IMPLEMENTATION RULES: Before implementing this plan, read and follow:
- WORKFLOW.md - The implementation process
- PLANS.md - Plan structure and best practices
Status: Complete
Goal: Update all scripts in the repo that reference topsecret/ or secrets/ to use the new .uis.secrets/ paths, while maintaining backwards compatibility.
Last Updated: 2026-01-23
Branch: feature/secrets-migration
Prerequisites: PLAN-001 ✓ and PLAN-002 ✓ complete
Related: INVESTIGATE-secrets-consolidation.md
Note: PLAN-002 created paths.sh with base path detection functions. This plan extends that with backwards-compatible path resolution and deprecation warnings for topsecret/ paths.
Context: Contributor vs User
We are contributors - we update scripts in the repo to use new path conventions.
At runtime, these scripts run inside the container and access:
/mnt/urbalurbadisk/.uis.secrets/(user's secrets, mounted)/mnt/urbalurbadisk/.uis.extend/(user's config, mounted)/mnt/urbalurbadisk/topsecret/(old path, mounted for backwards compat)
The scripts we update need to:
- Prefer new paths when available
- Fall back to old paths for backwards compatibility
- Warn users when old paths are detected
Overview
The investigation identified 24 scripts that reference the old paths:
cloud-init (1):
cloud-init/create-cloud-init.sh
hosts (8):
hosts/azure-aks/02-azure-aks-setup.shhosts/azure-microk8s/01-azure-vm-create-redcross-v2.shhosts/azure-microk8s/02-azure-ansible-inventory-v2.shhosts/raspberry-microk8s/install-raspberry.shhosts/install-azure-aks.shhosts/install-azure-microk8s-v2.shhosts/install-multipass-microk8s.shhosts/install-rancher-kubernetes.sh
topsecret (3) - to be deprecated:
topsecret/update-kubernetes-secrets-rancher.shtopsecret/kubeconf-copy2local.shtopsecret/copy-secrets2host.sh
networking (4):

.uis.secrets/) ✓ - Scripts fall back to old paths (
topsecret/) with warning ✓ - Deprecated scripts show clear migration messages ✓
- Unit tests pass for path resolution (63 tests) ✓
- Backwards-compat tests pass (52 tests) ✓
- Kubeconfig merge playbook updated ✓
- No functionality broken during transition ✓
Files Created/Modified
Phase 1 (Complete):
provision-host/uis/lib/paths.sh✓ Extended (not uis-paths.sh - reused existing library)provision-host/uis/tests/unit/test-paths.sh✓ Extended (63 tests)
Future Phases:
topsecret/DEPRECATED.md(Phase 7)
Files to Modify
- All 24 scripts listed in Overview
ansible/playbooks/04-merge-kubeconf.yml
Testing Strategy
For each script:
- Test with new paths only (fresh setup)
- Test with old paths only (legacy setup)
- Test with both (migration in progress)
Use mock folders in test environment to simulate both scenarios.
