Sub-1 of epic #825 (Multi-domain Sovereign). Backend-only per the SCOPE CORRECTION on issue #826: the wizard stays single-FQDN, multi- domain capability is a Day-2 admin-console action (#829, already merged with an in-memory stub waiting on this PR's persistence layer). What this PR adds: - provisioner.ParentDomain struct (Name, Role, RegistrarKind, RegistrarCredsRef, AddedAt) with role constants ParentDomainRolePrimary | ParentDomainRoleSMEPool. Wire shape matches the handler-layer ParentDomain in handler/parent_domains.go (#829), so the handler's swap from in-memory store → Deployment.parentDomains[] is a one-line change in a follow-up PR. - Request.ParentDomains []ParentDomain field. Backward-compatible: when the slice is empty, Validate() synthesises a single primary entry from SovereignPoolDomain (or SovereignFQDN) so legacy single-FQDN payloads + on-disk records read cleanly. The next Save() round-trips the array form — transparent migration with no one-shot script. - validateParentDomains: enforces "exactly one primary", role enum, FQDN regex (RFC 1035, mirrors wizard isValidDomain), duplicate- name dedupe, lowercase normalisation in place. - ProvisionParentDomain / ProvisionParentDomains: the per-domain abstraction the issue's DoD calls out as "reusable function ready for #829". Day-2 add-domain calls this with the same step list (registrar-flip → powerdns-zone-create → cert-manager-cert) the Day-1 path uses; idempotent, stops on first error, emits per-step SSE events for the admin panel. - Request.PrimaryParentDomain() / SMEPoolParentDomains() lookup helpers so the catalyst-api handler + SME signup wizard read the primary / sme-pool subset without re-iterating at every call site. - writeTfvars emits parent_domains as a JSON array (never null) so a future OpenTofu module's `for pd in var.parent_domains` validator accepts the input — same nil-trap fix the regions slice already carries. - store.RedactedRequest + ToProvisionerRequest round-trip the slice verbatim. Fields are non-secret (RegistrarCredsRef points at a SealedSecret name; plaintext registrar credentials never live on the deployment record). - store.crdStore mirrors the slice into the ProvisioningState CRD spec so admin tooling reading via the K8s API sees the live pool. What this PR does NOT touch (explicit scope): - products/catalyst/bootstrap/ui/src/pages/wizard/** — wizard UI stays single-FQDN per the issue's SCOPE CORRECTION. - products/catalyst/bootstrap/api/internal/handler/parent_domains.go — the #829-merged Day-2 admin handler keeps its in-memory store; a one-line follow-up PR swaps to Deployment.parentDomains[]. Inviolable Principle #4: defaultRegistrarKindFromEnv reads CATALYST_DEFAULT_REGISTRAR_KIND so operators on registrars other than Dynadot override the synthesis path without code changes. No TLD or count is hardcoded. Tests: - 14 new unit tests across two new files (parent_domains_test.go in provisioner + store packages). Cover: synthesis from SovereignFQDN + SovereignPoolDomain, "exactly one primary" invariant (rejects 2 + 0), unknown role, empty role, malformed FQDN, duplicate names, uppercase normalisation, lookup helpers, step-runner ordering + first-error halt, slice-flavour multi-domain iteration, JSON round-trip through Redact + Save + LoadAll, empty-slice omitempty, legacy on-disk record loads cleanly + migration synthesises primary on Validate. - Pre-existing Harbor-token + AuthHandover-signer-nil failures persist on origin/main; this PR introduces no new failures.

OpenOva Catalyst
A self-sufficient Kubernetes-native platform. Published as signed OCI Blueprints. Deployable as your own Sovereign.
Catalyst is the open-source platform built by OpenOva. It turns any Kubernetes cluster into a Sovereign: a self-contained control plane that hosts Organizations, Environments, and Applications via GitOps + Crossplane, with a unified UI/Git/API for users.

docs/IMPLEMENTATION-STATUS.mdfor what exists today vs what is design.
The model in 60 seconds
OpenOva (the company) publishes Catalyst (the platform).
A deployed Catalyst is called a Sovereign.
A Sovereign has:
- Organizations (multi-tenancy unit)
- Environments (org-scoped, env-typed: prod/stg/uat/dev/poc)
- Applications (installed Blueprints)
- Blueprints (the App Store catalog — public + Org-private)
Users install Applications from Blueprints into Environments.
Blueprints can depend on Blueprints (arbitrary depth).
Each Environment is one Gitea repo + one or more vclusters.
Every state change is a Git commit.
Every UI surface reads from a single CQRS projection.
Same code runs in every Sovereign:
- openova (run by us; SaaS Organizations)
- omantel (run by Omantel; SME Organizations across Oman)
- bankdhofar (run by the bank; internal Organizations)
- your-company (run by you, on infrastructure you choose)
See docs/GLOSSARY.md for every term, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the full picture.

Each folder under platform/ and products/ is the source of one Blueprint, published from CI as a signed OCI artifact at ghcr.io/openova-io/bp-<name>:<semver> (the bp- prefix is added to the OCI artifact name; folder names stay short). Per-folder isolation is provided at the OCI artifact layer, not the Git repo layer — this is a monorepo with per-Blueprint fan-out, not a meta-repo of separate Git repositories. See docs/BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING.md §2 for the folder layout contract.
Today, the 12-component bootstrap kit (cilium, cert-manager, flux, crossplane, sealed-secrets, spire, nats-jetstream, openbao, keycloak, gitea, powerdns + the bp-catalyst-platform umbrella under
products/catalyst/) ships with fullchart/+blueprint.yamlperdocs/IMPLEMENTATION-STATUS.md§7, plusproducts/axon/and theexternal-dnsleaf chart. The remaining 45 platform components and thecortex / fabric / fingate / relayproduct folders are design-stage — README only — until each lands its Blueprint manifest, chart, Compositions, and CI fan-out.

Cloud providers
| Provider | Status |
|---|---|
| Hetzner Cloud | Available (most-tested path) |
| AWS / GCP / Azure | Crossplane providers available; full path coming |
| Oracle Cloud (OCI) | Crossplane provider available; full path coming |
| Huawei Cloud | Crossplane provider available; full path coming |
All providers reach Catalyst via the same Crossplane abstraction; Sovereign provisioning details per provider are in docs/SOVEREIGN-PROVISIONING.md.
Getting started
Try it (managed)
Visit marketplace.openova.io to install Applications on the openova Sovereign without any infrastructure setup. SaaS journey for SMEs and evaluations.
Run your own Sovereign
1. Provision via catalyst-provisioner.openova.io (managed bootstrap), OR
2. Self-host bp-catalyst-provisioner in your own infrastructure (air-gap path).
Then follow the procedure in docs/SOVEREIGN-PROVISIONING.md.
Build a Blueprint
See docs/BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING.md. A Blueprint is a folder under platform/<name>/ (or products/<name>/) in this monorepo containing blueprint.yaml + manifests (Helm chart or Kustomize base) + (optional) Crossplane Compositions. CI signs each folder's contents and publishes to OCI as ghcr.io/openova-io/bp-<name>:<semver>. Catalyst's blueprint-controller picks it up automatically. Org-private Blueprints follow the same shape inside per-Sovereign Gitea repos.
License
All Blueprints and the Catalyst control plane are open source. Each component carries its own upstream license (typically Apache 2.0, MPL 2.0, or BSD-3); see each component's LICENSE file.
OpenOva charges for support, managed operations, and expert services — never for access to code. See docs/BUSINESS-STRATEGY.md §10.
Contributing
PRs welcome. The contribution path for Blueprints (including Crossplane Compositions) is documented in docs/BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING.md §13. Issues and discussions on GitHub.
Cloud-native is the foundation. Catalyst is how you operate it.
