Problem: The AIService and AIService tenant operator subscription installPlanApproval fields were hardcoded as "Automatic" in the GitOps templates. This prevented users from controlling whether operator updates require manual approval or install automatically.

Requirement: Add support for configurable AIService and AIService tenant install plan approval parameters in the CLI flow, including shell functions, generated templates, and pipeline/task parameter pass-through.

Why these changes are needed:

Deployment flows need to carry install plan approval values from CLI into generated configuration

AIService and AIService tenant operator upgrade behavior must be configurable per environment

Default value "Automatic" is needed for backward compatibility

Generated Tekton and GitOps configuration must include these values so they reach the final Kubernetes subscription setup


What was changed:

This PR adds AIService and AIService tenant install plan approval support across CLI shell functions, generated GitOps templates, generated Tekton pipeline/task templates, and repository validation metadata.

Changes made:

File 1: image/cli/mascli/functions/gitops_aiservice

Added --aiservice-install-plan-approval to the CLI help output

Added default value handling:

export AISERVICE_INSTALL_PLAN_APPROVAL=${AISERVICE_INSTALL_PLAN_APPROVAL:-"Automatic"}

Added argument parsing:

--aiservice-install-plan-approval) export AISERVICE_INSTALL_PLAN_APPROVAL=$1 && shift ;;

Added the value to CLI summary output:

echo_reset_dim "AIService Install Plan Approval ........ ${COLOR_MAGENTA}${AISERVICE_INSTALL_PLAN_APPROVAL}"

File 2: image/cli/mascli/functions/gitops_aiservice_tenant

Added --aiservice-tenant-install-plan-approval to the CLI help output

Added default value handling:

export AISERVICE_TENANT_INSTALL_PLAN_APPROVAL=${AISERVICE_TENANT_INSTALL_PLAN_APPROVAL:-"Automatic"}

Added argument parsing:

--aiservice-tenant-install-plan-approval) export AISERVICE_TENANT_INSTALL_PLAN_APPROVAL=$1 && shift ;;

Added the tenant value to CLI summary output:

echo_reset_dim "AIService Tenant Install Plan Approval . ${COLOR_MAGENTA}${AISERVICE_TENANT_INSTALL_PLAN_APPROVAL}"

File 3: image/cli/mascli/templates/gitops/appset-configs/cluster/instance/ibm-aiservice.yaml.j2

Added template rendering for AIService install plan approval:

aiservice_install_plan_approval: "{{ AISERVICE_INSTALL_PLAN_APPROVAL }}"

File 4: image/cli/mascli/templates/gitops/appset-configs/cluster/instance/ibm-aiservice-tenant.yaml.j2

Added template rendering for AIService tenant install plan approval:

aiservice_tenant_install_plan_approval: "{{ AISERVICE_TENANT_INSTALL_PLAN_APPROVAL }}"

File 5: tekton/src/pipelines/gitops/gitops-aiservice-pipeline.yml.j2

Added pipeline parameter definition for AIService install plan approval with default value:

- name: aiservice_install_plan_approval type: string default: "Automatic"

Added parameter pass-through to the downstream task

- name: aiservice_install_plan_approval value: $(params.aiservice_install_plan_approval)

File 6: tekton/src/pipelines/gitops/gitops-aiservice-tenant-pipeline.yml.j2

Added pipeline parameter definition for AIService tenant install plan approval with default value:

- name: aiservice_tenant_install_plan_approval type: string default: "Automatic"

Added parameter pass-through to the downstream task

- name: aiservice_tenant_install_plan_approval value: $(params.aiservice_tenant_install_plan_approval)

File 7: tekton/src/tasks/gitops/gitops-aiservice.yml.j2

Added task parameter definition for AIService install plan approval with default value:

- name: aiservice_install_plan_approval type: string default: "Automatic"

Added environment variable mapping:

- name: AISERVICE_INSTALL_PLAN_APPROVAL value: $(params.aiservice_install_plan_approval)

File 8: tekton/src/tasks/gitops/gitops-aiservice-tenant.yml.j2

Added task parameter definition for AIService tenant install plan approval with default value:

- name: aiservice_tenant_install_plan_approval type: string default: "Automatic"

Added environment variable mapping:

- name: AISERVICE_TENANT_INSTALL_PLAN_APPROVAL value: $(params.aiservice_tenant_install_plan_approval)

File 9: .secrets.baseline

Updated generated baseline metadata and line references as part of repository validation


Impact:

✅ CLI accepts --aiservice-install-plan-approval

✅ CLI accepts --aiservice-tenant-install-plan-approval

✅ Generated GitOps templates include install plan approval values for AIService and AIService tenant

✅ Generated Tekton pipeline/task templates carry these parameters through the workflow

✅ Default value "Automatic" ensures backward compatibility

✅ Enables configurable operator upgrade behavior per environment

Testing performed:

CLI Testing:

✅ Validated argument parsing in AIService shell functions

✅ Validated argument parsing in AIService tenant shell functions

✅ Verified default values are applied correctly

✅ Confirmed values are shown in CLI summary output

Template Verification:

✅ Verified generated GitOps templates include AIService and AIService tenant install plan approval values

✅ Verified generated Tekton pipeline and task templates include the new parameters and mappings

Validation Results:

✅ Parameters are accepted and propagated correctly

✅ Templates render expected values

✅ Repository validation updated .secrets.baseline

Please cleanup the commented lines, resolve the conflicts.
Also you need to update gitops_aiservice pipeline and task changes here as well (changes done in saas-tekton)

Please see comments.

Also I would expect that the aiservice-tenant would have the same setting as I thought was was now a subscription itself? I don't think it would make sense to have the aiservice as manual and the aiservice-tenant has automatic
