Let RABBITMQ_USERNAME/PASSWORD env vars override the config file

Every heppy config bundles two unrelated things in one JSON file: the EPP registry login and the RabbitMQ broker credentials. In Kubernetes that whole file becomes one Secret, so the broker password ends up duplicated into every worker's config at seal time - and there was no way to change the broker's password without resealing every worker to match, which is exactly what caused ahnames-epp-rabbitmq to drift out of sync with several workers' baked-in RabbitMQ.password on ahnames/gitops's beta.

connection_parameters() now checks RABBITMQ_USERNAME/PASSWORD first, falling back to the config file's RabbitMQ.username/password unchanged when unset. A deployment can inject these from the same secret the broker itself reads, so the two can never drift again - no resealing needed when the broker password rotates.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • RabbitMQ connections can now use credentials supplied through environment variables.
    • Environment-provided credentials take precedence over configured values.
    • Username-only environment configuration is supported.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved credential handling when environment variables and configuration values are combined.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for credential precedence, fallback behavior, and username-only configuration.

Walkthrough

RabbitMQ connection parameters now use environment credentials before configuration values. Tests cover environment precedence, configuration fallback, and username-only overrides.

RabbitMQ credentials

Layer / File(s) Summary
Credential resolution and validation
heppy/RabbitMQ.py, tests/test_RabbitMQ.py
connection_parameters resolves RABBITMQ_USERNAME and RABBITMQ_PASSWORD before configuration values. Credentials are added when a username is available. Tests cover precedence, fallback, and username-only overrides.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 68e47

Explicitly set empty RabbitMQ credential variables currently fall back to the bundled config values instead of acting as overrides, which can cause workers to use unexpected credentials. Merge should wait until this behavior is corrected or explicitly accepted.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Treat defined empty environment variables as overrides. The implementation uses or, which falls back to config credentials for empty environment values. The tests do not detect this behavior.

  • heppy/RabbitMQ.py#L105-L112: use key-presence or os.environ.get(name, fallback) so only unset variables use config fallback.
  • tests/test_RabbitMQ.py#L36-L65: add empty username and password cases that verify no config fallback occurs.
