RBAC-aware startup skips resources the current user cannot access\n- **Full resource coverage** — pods, deployments, statefulsets, daemonsets, jobs, cronjobs, HPAs, PDBs, services, ingresses, network policies, configmaps, secrets, RBAC, storage, and more\n- **Log streaming** — real-time log tailing with multi-container support and search\n- **Exec into containers** — full PTY terminal sessions directly in the app\n- **Port forwarding** — one-click port-forward with live status, auto port detection, and clickable local URLs\n- **Helm management** — list releases, inspect values, view history, rollback\n- **Network topology** — force-directed graph of pod-to-service relationships\n- **Security scan** — per-pod security posture analysis (privileged containers, missing resource limits, host namespace access)\n- **TLS dashboard** — cluster-wide certificate inventory with expiry tracking\n- **GitOps panel** — Argo CD / Flux resource overview\n- **Service mesh support** — Istio, Traefik v2/v3, NGINX Inc, NGINX Community — auto-detected per cluster\n- **Events \u0026 metrics** — filterable event list and pod/node metrics (requires metrics-server)\n- **Built-in terminal** — tabbed PTY terminal with kubectl pre-configured\n- **MCP server** — expose your cluster as tools for AI assistants via `podscape-mcp`\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\nDownload the latest release for your platform from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/codingprotocols/podscape/releases/latest):\n\n| Platform | Format |\n|----------|--------|\n| macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel) | Universal DMG |\n| Windows | NSIS installer |\n| Linux | AppImage, `.deb` |\n\n**macOS note:** The app is signed and notarized.

It ships as a pre-built binary for macOS, Windows, and Linux alongside the app on every **[GitHub Release](https://github.com/codingprotocols/podscape/releases/latest)**.\n\n```bash\n# Register with Claude Code (using a pre-built binary)\nclaude mcp add --transport stdio podscape -- /path/to/podscape-mcp-darwin-arm64\n\n# Or build from source\ncd go-core \u0026\u0026 go build ./cmd/podscape-mcp/\nclaude mcp add --transport stdio podscape -- ./go-core/podscape-mcp\n```\n\nSee [go-core/cmd/podscape-mcp/README.md](go-core/cmd/podscape-mcp/README.md) for full setup and tool reference.\n\n---\n\n## Architecture\n\nPodscape is a three-process Electron app with a Go sidecar:\n\n```\nRenderer (React/TS)\n  ├─ HTTP → Go Sidecar (127.0.0.1:5050)   — all k8s + Helm operations\n  └─ IPC  → Main Process (Node.js)         — terminal, file dialogs, port-forward, log streaming\n```\n\n| Layer | Stack |\n|-------|-------|\n| Renderer | React 18, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Zustand, xterm.js, Monaco Editor, Recharts |\n| Main process | Electron, node-pty |\n| Go sidecar | `podscape-core` — HTTP server, shared informer cache, RBAC probe |\n| MCP server | `podscape-mcp` — standalone MCP server |\n\n---\n\n## Project structure\n\n```\npodscape-electron/\n├── src/\n│   ├── main/          # Electron main process (sidecar, IPC handlers, terminal)\n│   ├── preload/       # Context bridge — exposes window.kubectl, window.helm, etc.\n│   └── renderer/      # React app (components, store, routing)\n├── go-core/\n│   ├── cmd/\n│   │   ├── podscape-core/   # HTTP sidecar binary\n│   │   └── podscape-mcp/    # MCP server binary\n│   └── internal/\n│       ├── client/          # Shared k8s client initialisation\n│       ├── handlers/        # HTTP route handlers\n│       ├── informers/       # Shared informer cache\n│       ├── ops/             # Write operations (scale, delete, apply, rollout)\n│       ├── logs/            # Log streaming\n│       ├── helm/            # Helm SDK wrapper\n│       ├── rbac/            # RBAC probe\n│       ├── store/           # Global sidecar state\n│       └── portforward/     # Port-forward manager\n├── resources/         # Icons, splash screen\n├── scripts/           # Build helpers (notarize, icon generation)\n└── CHANGELOG.md\n```\n\n---\n\n## Distribution\n\nReleases are triggered by pushing a `v*` tag. GitHub Actions builds for macOS (arm64 + x64), Windows, and Linux in parallel and publishes to GitHub Releases.\n\n```bash\ngit tag v2.3.0 \u0026\u0026 git push origin v2.3.0\n```\n\n### macOS signing + notarization\n\nSet these repository secrets before releasing:\n\n| Secret | Description |\n|--------|-------------|\n| `CSC_LINK` | Base64-encoded `.p12` Developer ID certificate |\n| `CSC_KEY_PASSWORD` | `.p12` password |\n| `APPLE_ID` | Apple ID email |\n| `APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD` | App-specific password from appleid.apple.com |\n| `APPLE_TEAM_ID` | 10-character Apple Team ID |\n| `GH_TOKEN` | GitHub PAT with `repo` scope |\n\n---\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome.
