fix(api): correct grammar in CRD doc comments - #525

Conversation
The doc comments on the v1beta1 types are the source text for three
generated surfaces: the CRD `description:` fields under config/crd/bases,
the same fields in the Helm CRD chart, and the configuration reference in
docs/. They also reach the public docs site, which copies that reference
in as deploy/self-hosted/config/api-reference.mdx.
A prose audit of the docs site traced 58 grammar and spelling defects back
here. Because codegen fans each comment out across every module, a handful of
lines in shared.go account for most of the occurrences:
- shared.go:239 "Info can contain any additional like reconciliation errors"
is missing its noun, and lands on all 20 module status blocks.
- shared.go:33/:37/:38 and :272 ("Allow to enable…", "Version allow to
override…") repeat 12, 12 and 10 times respectively.
The rest are one-offs of the same few patterns: "allow to <verb>" for
"enables/lets" (18 sites), "Actually," used for "currently" or "in practice"
(3), "following its needs / following scopes / following the Key" for
"as needed / according to" (3), subject-verb agreement ("Disabled indicate",
"A disabled stack disable everything", "Auth represent", "no backup are
performed"), "than" for "that" (3), and a French space before the colon (7).
Two are outright typos rather than grammar:
- authclient_types.go:46 read "Scopes allow to five some scope to the
client" — five/give.
- settings_types.go:145 read "elligible".
Two more were wrong about the code rather than merely awkward:
- authclient_types.go:43 documented PostLogoutRedirectUris as "RedirectUris",
a copy-paste from the field above, so the generated CRD described the wrong
field.
- connectivity_types.go:32 carried "the module allowing to install…" copied
from ledger_types.go, which is how this pattern keeps reaching new modules
and why it is worth fixing at the source.
Unclosed parentheses in stack_types.go:73 and resourcereference_types.go:45
are closed.
Generated artifacts are regenerated in the same commit, so `just pre-commit`
is a no-op: config/crd/bases (26 files), helm/crds/templates/crds (26), and
the configuration reference. The diff there is entirely `description:` text —
no type, required, properties, enum or default changed, and the settings
catalog is unaffected because it does not read doc comments.
Confidence: high — comments and generated text only, no behaviour.
Scope-risk: low — zero schema change; CRD descriptions are not part of any
API contract, and `kubectl explain` output improves.

Review caught a defect introduced by the previous commit. The original read "Public indicate whether a client is confidential or not", which already named the wrong polarity for a field called Public; dropping "or not" turned a vague sentence into a wrong assertion, so the generated CRD and reference said public: true meant a confidential client. Describe the field by its own name instead. Public: true is a public client — one that cannot hold a secret; false (the default) is confidential. Constraint: Public is not read anywhere in the operator; it is passed through to the auth service, so polarity comes from the field name, the kubebuilder default of false, and standard OAuth2 semantics.

Inline comments:
In `@api/formance.com/v1beta1/authclient_types.go`:
- Around line 46-47: Update the comment for the Scopes field to describe that it
lists the scopes granted to the client, using the wording requested by the
review.
In `@api/formance.com/v1beta1/broker_types.go`:
- Line 27: Update the Mode comment in the broker types definition to use the
official uppercase “NATS” spelling instead of “nats”, then regenerate the
reference documentation.
- Around line 42-44: Update the mode list comment in the relevant broker type to
use non-emphasis list markers instead of “* ”, then regenerate the generated
documentation so the rendered table no longer triggers MD037.
In `@api/formance.com/v1beta1/database_types.go`:
- Line 48: Correct the PostgreSQL URI format in the source comment for the
postgres module settings to include the colon between username and password and
make the credential segment optional as specified; then regenerate the derived
artifacts from this source change.
In `@api/formance.com/v1beta1/gateway_types.go`:
- Line 49: Update the comment near the TLS ingress configuration to capitalize
“TLS” consistently with the field name and surrounding API terminology.
In `@api/formance.com/v1beta1/groupversion_info.go`:
- Around line 19-23: Update the package description near the module resource
documentation to use “Each module can create multiple resources as needed.”,
then regenerate the documentation.
In `@api/formance.com/v1beta1/resourcereference_types.go`:
- Around line 44-49: Update the ResourceReference documentation comment to
remove the speculative namespace guidance and explicitly state that externally
created secrets must be labeled with formance.com/stack for the reconciler to
discover them across namespaces.
In `@api/formance.com/v1beta1/settings_types.go`:
- Around line 138-145: Update the source comment near the AWS role annotation
and JSON logging setting to capitalize “ARN” and “JSON” consistently, then
regenerate the reference documentation using the project’s standard generation
process.
- Around line 33-35: Update the GoDoc sentences for the Settings resource near
its declaration to use “The Settings resource …” instead of starting with the
plural kind name, including both the primary description and the corresponding
description around the additional occurrence.
- Around line 29-30: The Value field comment is incomplete and refers to Key
ambiguously; update the comment to state that the required format depends on the
key, using the exact field description requested.
In `@api/formance.com/v1beta1/stack_types.go`:
- Around line 26-27: Update the comment for the version field in the relevant
stack type so the phrase reads “Docker tag” with Docker capitalized, preserving
the existing wording and generated API documentation behavior.
- Around line 42-44: Update the `Disabled` documentation comment to state that
disabling stops the stack’s modules while retaining the namespace and `Database`
resources, removing the contradictory “disables everything” wording.
In `@docs/09-Configuration` reference/02-Custom Resource Definitions.md:
- Around line 387-391: Update the source comment describing the Auth module to
use “OIDC-compliant” as the compound adjective, then regenerate the
configuration reference document so the generated description reflects the
corrected wording.
- Around line 2239-2241: Verify the operator’s PostgreSQL URI parser and
standardize the documented format across both sites: update
docs/09-Configuration reference/02-Custom Resource Definitions.md lines
2239-2241 to use the correct credential separator, and update
api/formance.com/v1beta1/settings_types.go lines 54-56 to include the required
database path or accurately document host-only support. Keep the Database
template and Settings example consistent with the parser-validated format.
- Line 2237: Update the Database introduction to split the comma-spliced
sentence into two sentences: one describing Database as a concrete PostgreSQL
server database, and another stating that modules requiring a database create
it.

Review findings on #525, verified against source and applied. Three were wrong about the code, not just the prose: - database_types.go:48 documented the postgres setting URI as `postgresql://[<username>@<password>]@<host>/<db-name>`. The separator between user and password is `:`, not `@`: databases/env.go:26-30 reads the credentials through url.URL.User.Username()/Password(), which is stock net/url userinfo parsing, and env.go:50 builds the DSN as `postgresql://%s:%s@%s:%s`. The documented form parses as a single username with no password. - The same line documented a `/<db-name>` path. The operator never reads it: databases/init.go:113 sets Status.Database from core.GetObjectName(stack, service), and POSTGRES_NO_DATABASE_URI is built host:port only. Dropped the path and said where the name comes from, which also settles the inconsistency with the Settings example (host:port, no path). - database_types.go:27 claimed the database is named `<stack-name><service>`. core.GetObjectName is `fmt.Sprintf("%s-%s", ...)`, so it is `<stack-name>-<service>`. Not raised in review; found while checking the above. One logical contradiction, in text this PR had touched: - stack_types.go:43 said a disabled stack "disables everything" immediately before saying it keeps the namespace and Database resources. Now "disables its modules". The rest are wording and product casing: Scopes described by what it holds rather than repeating the field name, `nats` -> `NATS` (both sites), `tls` -> `TLS`, `docker tag` -> `Docker tag`, `role arn` -> `role ARN`, `as json` -> `as JSON`, `OIDC compliant` -> `OIDC-compliant`, "as it needs" -> "as needed", the Database intro split at its comma splice, and Value given a complete opening sentence. The Mode list markers move from `*` to `-` because godoc only recognises `-` as a list marker in doc comments; `*` renders as a literal asterisk. Generated artifacts regenerated; the chain is idempotent. Confidence: high — comments and generated text only. Scope-risk: low — no schema change.

Go over the .go files, and repair the descriptions a little more thoroughly. Although the grammar is now correct, many of the sentences still lack polish and dont' really explain things well enough. Stick to technical language, avoid dramatic prose.

The Database and Settings comments mixed `uri` and `URI` in running prose. Capitalize the acronym everywhere it is prose; the lowercase `uri` inside setting keys (`postgres.<module-name>.uri`) and YAML samples is literal and stays as is.
`formance.example.com` put the product name in front of the user's own domain, which reads oddly for a self-hosted deployment. Use `stack.example.com`: still under the RFC 2606 reserved domain, so it can never resolve, and it names what is being served rather than who ships it.
The package comment opened with a bare "It lets you configure...", where "it" could be read as the package, the API group or the operator. Name the subject instead. The Ledger and Connectivity comments said the resource "installs an instance", which describes the operator's job rather than the resource's. Say what the resource declares and what creating it causes.
The opening line defined the resource in terms of itself ("a resource used
to refer to resources") and only named the concrete kinds a paragraph later.
Lead with what it gives you and two concrete examples, fold the "Why?"
fragment into a full sentence, and drop the now-redundant sentence listing
the kinds.
Also fixes "the ResourceReconciler owner": the owner is the resource that
created the ResourceReference (a Database, for example). There is no
ResourceReconciler type -- `WithResourceReconciler` in internal/core is a
generic reconciler helper, not the owner.
