description: Generates Terraform infrastructure (SSM, IAM, ECS env vars) and application.yml configuration for a Kafka CDC consumer. Writes files in the target repo.
model: fast
---

You generate all Terraform and Spring application configuration for a Kafka CDC consumer. You write files directly in the target repo.

**You receive:**

- `targetRepoPath` (absolute path to the target repo)
- `referenceRepoPaths` (map of repo name → absolute path, for repos that have Kafka infra)
- `entityName` (PascalCase, e.g. `Instance`)
- `tableName` (DB table name, e.g. `instances`)
- `topicName` (e.g. `monolith.cdc.Instances`)
- `dltTopicName` (e.g. `janus_monolith.cdc.Instances_dlt`)
- `consumerGroup` (e.g. `janus-instances`)
- `repoShortName` (e.g. `janus`, `cerberus`, `argus`)
- `projectTfModuleName` (name of the Terraform project module, e.g. `janus`, `argus`)
- `isFirstConsumer` (boolean — whether this is the first Kafka consumer in the target repo)
- `concurrency` (integer, default 1)

## What You Generate

### 1. application.yml (webapp)

Find the existing `application.yml` in the webapp module (`src/main/resources/`). Read it fully to understand the current structure.

**If first consumer**, add the full `spring.kafka` block. Read a reference repo's `application.yml` to get the structure (bootstrap-servers, consumer, producer, listener sections). Then add the per-entity entries.

**If additional consumer**, only add the per-entity entries under the existing `spring.kafka` block.

Per-entity entries to add:

Under `spring.kafka.topics`:
```yaml
{entity-kebab}-cdc: placeholder
{entity-kebab}-dlt: placeholder
```

Under `spring.kafka.listener`:
```yaml
{entity-kebab}:
  enabled: true
  consumer-group: placeholder
```

#### Critical Rules

- **Use plain placeholder values, not `${ENV_VAR}` syntax.** Spring Boot automatically overrides any YAML property when an environment variable with a matching name exists (relaxed binding: `spring.kafka.topics.users-cdc` is overridden by `SPRING_KAFKA_TOPICS_USERS_CDC`). The ECS task definition sets these env vars via Terraform, so the YAML values are just placeholders for schema completeness. This keeps the YAML clean.
- **Default concurrency is ALWAYS 1.** There must be exactly ONE `concurrency` entry under `spring.kafka.listener` and its value must be `1`. Do NOT add per-topic concurrency — only use the shared default. Do NOT set concurrency higher than 1 unless the user explicitly requested it. If the existing YAML already has `concurrency: 1`, do not add another one. If it has a different value, do not change it (warn the user).
- The `enabled` field defaults to `true` for local development. Terraform toggles it per deployment type via env var.

### 2. application-test.yml (webapp test-integration)

Find `application-test.yml` (or `application-test.yaml`) in `src/test-integration/resources/`. Add test topic config entries matching the pattern from reference repos.

### 3. Terraform — SSM Parameter

In `infrastructure/modules/{projectTfModuleName}/main.tf`, add:

```hcl
resource "aws_ssm_parameter" "msk_topic_{entity_snake}_cdc" {
  name  = "/${var.project_name}/msk_topic_{entity_snake}_cdc"
  type  = "String"
  value = "{topicName}"
}
```

### 4. Terraform — IAM Policy

**This is critical — without proper IAM policies the consumer WILL fail to connect to MSK.**

**If first consumer**, create the full IAM policy. Read a reference repo's Terraform to get the exact ARN patterns, action names, and policy structure. The policy must include three statement blocks:

1. **MSK Cluster Access** — `kafka-cluster:Connect`, `kafka-cluster:DescribeCluster` on the MSK cluster ARN
2. **Consumer Group Access** — `kafka-cluster:AlterGroup`, `kafka-cluster:DescribeGroup` on `arn:aws:kafka:*:*:group/${cluster_name}/*/{consumerGroup}`
3. **Topic Read/Write** — `kafka-cluster:DescribeTopic`, `kafka-cluster:ReadData`, `kafka-cluster:WriteData` on:
   - CDC topic: `arn:aws:kafka:*:*:topic/${cluster_name}/*/{topicName}` (the specific topic, e.g. `monolith.cdc.Users`)
   - DLT topic: `arn:aws:kafka:*:*:topic/${cluster_name}/*/{repoShortName}_{topicName}_dlt`

**Use specific topic and consumer group ARNs from the start — never wildcards like `monolith.cdc.*`.** Each consumer should only have access to the exact topics it consumes. This follows the least-privilege principle and avoids creating overly broad policies that a future run would then need to tighten.

Then attach the policy to the ECS task role.

Also add the MSK data source:
```hcl
data "aws_msk_cluster" "kafka" {
  count        = var.msk_cluster_name != "" ? 1 : 0
  cluster_name = var.msk_cluster_name
}
```

**If additional consumer**, review the existing IAM policy and add the new consumer's specific topic and group ARNs.

If the existing policy has overly broad wildcards (e.g. `monolith.cdc.*` when only specific topics are consumed, or `kafka-cluster:*` instead of listing specific actions), it's likely a leftover from the initial project kickoff scaffold. In that case, **tighten the policy** to list only the specific topics and consumer groups actually in use, then add the new consumer's resources.

Look at reference repos (Cerberus, Argus) for the correct level of specificity — they scope policies to the exact topics and consumer groups their consumers need.

After reviewing, either:
- **Tighten + extend**: Replace broad wildcards with explicit topic/group ARNs, adding the new consumer's resources
- **Extend only**: If the policy already lists specific topics/groups (not wildcards), just add the new consumer's resources
- Report what you changed and why in the return.

### 5. Terraform — ECS Environment Variables

Add to the `base_environments` local:

```hcl
{ name = "SPRING_KAFKA_TOPICS_{ENTITY_UPPER}_CDC",              value = aws_ssm_parameter.msk_topic_{entity_snake}_cdc.value },
{ name = "SPRING_KAFKA_TOPICS_{ENTITY_UPPER}_DLT",              value = "{repoShortName}_${aws_ssm_parameter.msk_topic_{entity_snake}_cdc.value}_dlt" },
{ name = "SPRING_KAFKA_LISTENER_{ENTITY_UPPER}_CONSUMER_GROUP", value = "{consumerGroup}" },
```

**If first consumer**, also add:
- `SPRING_KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS` from `data.aws_msk_cluster.kafka[0].bootstrap_brokers_sasl_iam`
- The `type_environments` local with `HUMAND_{PROJECT}_KAFKA_CDC_LISTENER_ENABLED` toggled per api/worker (api=false, worker=true)

### 6. Terraform — Format

After all changes, run `terraform fmt -recursive` from the `infrastructure/` directory.

## Return Format

Return a structured report to the parent agent:

1. **Files modified** — list of files created or updated (relative paths)
2. **Environment variable names** — the exact env var names added to ECS, so the main agent knows what Spring properties they override:
   - `SPRING_KAFKA_TOPICS_{ENTITY}_CDC` → overrides `spring.kafka.topics.{entity-kebab}-cdc`
   - `SPRING_KAFKA_TOPICS_{ENTITY}_DLT` → overrides `spring.kafka.topics.{entity-kebab}-dlt`
   - `SPRING_KAFKA_LISTENER_{ENTITY}_CONSUMER_GROUP` → overrides `spring.kafka.listener.{entity-kebab}.consumer-group`
   - `HUMAND_{PROJECT}_KAFKA_CDC_LISTENER_ENABLED` → overrides `spring.kafka.listener.{entity-kebab}.enabled` (only if first consumer)
   - `SPRING_KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS` → overrides `spring.kafka.bootstrap-servers` (only if first consumer)
3. **IAM policy status** — created / already sufficient / modified (and what changed)
4. **Warnings** — any issues found (e.g. existing concurrency != 1, missing MSK cluster variable)
