Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added compatibility checks for selected unmanaged custom resources before installing or updating revisions.
    • Installation now waits for required resources to be admitted and confirmed compatible.
    • Added permissions and lifecycle handling for compatibility requirements.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevents incompatible revisions from replacing the currently active revision.
    • Reports errors when configured unmanaged resources are missing or cannot be converted.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for compatibility gating, filtering, failure handling, and successful installation scenarios.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for writing synchronous and asynchronous Kubernetes tests.

Constructs a CompatibilityRequirement from an unmanaged CRD for the
compatibility phase. additionalVersions deferred to a separate PR.
Unmanaged CRDs are replaced with CompatibilityRequirements in a
compatibility phase prepended before all component phases. Boxcutter
gates on Admitted+Compatible probes before proceeding.
Tests verify probes gate on Admitted+Compatible, blocking behavior,
and previous revision preservation while blocked.

Walkthrough

The installer now converts configured unmanaged CRDs into CompatibilityRequirement resources. Revision reconciliation waits for admitted and compatible conditions before proceeding. Boxcutter handles conversion errors, and the installer receives the required permissions and test coverage.

Changes

Installer compatibility gating

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compatibility requirement conversion
pkg/controllers/installer/compatibility.go, pkg/controllers/installer/compatibility_test.go
CRDs convert into CompatibilityRequirement objects with embedded YAML, storage-only selection, validation actions, and namespace selectors. Tests verify the generated fields.
Boxcutter compatibility phase
pkg/controllers/installer/boxcutter.go, pkg/controllers/installer/boxcutter_test.go
Boxcutter identifies configured unmanaged CRDs, creates a leading compatibility phase, removes the original CRDs, aggregates generated objects, and reports missing or conversion errors.
Reconciliation and status gating
manifests/..., pkg/controllers/installer/installer_controller.go, pkg/controllers/installer/revision_reconciler.go, pkg/controllers/installer/probes.go, pkg/controllers/installer/helpers_test.go, pkg/controllers/installer/installer_controller_test.go
The controller propagates unmanaged CRDs, probes require Admitted=True and Compatible=True, and reconciliation tests cover waiting, blocking, and preserving the previous revision. The ClusterRole grants full lifecycle permissions.

Test standards guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Kubernetes testing patterns
.claude/skills/test-standards/SKILL.md
The guidance adds Ginkgo, Gomega, Komega, resource cleanup, resource builder, and compound assertion examples. It removes the CLAUDE.md pattern-reference bullet.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 1a243

The installer can miss a later compatibility status transition and can generate an invalid Kubernetes resource name, causing compatibility processing to stall or resource creation to fail and leaving revisions incomplete. These concrete correctness risks should be fixed before merge.

- Around line 128-135: Update the Kubernetes Eventually examples in the
test-standards guidance, including the Komega assertions and update-status
example, to add explicit WithTimeout and WithPolling calls. Use the repository’s
existing timeout and polling constants rather than Gomega defaults, and apply
the same bounded configuration to the examples at the other referenced

regression test covering separate status updates where Admitted becomes true
first and Compatible later changes from false to true.

controller-runtime v0.24.1 envtest/komega UpdateStatus package API

💡 Result:

In controller-runtime v0.24.1, the komega package (located at sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/envtest/komega) provides utilities to simplify testing Kubernetes controllers by integrating with the Gomega matcher library [1][2][3]. The UpdateStatus function in this package is designed to assist with testing status subresource updates [4][5]. Its primary purpose is to return a function that fetches a resource, applies a provided update function to it, and then commits the changes to the status subresource [5]. Usage Pattern The function is intended to be used with Gomega's Eventually or Expect assertions [4][5]. The general signature and usage pattern is as follows: func UpdateStatus(obj client.Object, f func, opts...client.SubResourceUpdateOption) func error Example usage: deployment:= appsv1.Deployment{... } gomega.Eventually(k.UpdateStatus(&deployment, func { deployment.Status.AvailableReplicas = 1 })).Should(gomega.Succeed) Notes - Implementation: When called, it fetches the current state of the object using the internal client, executes the provided modification function (f), and then calls the client's status update operation [5]. - Evolution: The documentation and examples for UpdateStatus have been refined over time to correct minor inaccuracies, such as ensuring they correctly reference UpdateStatus instead of Update and using the correct Gomega assertions (e.g., Should instead of To, and Succeed) [4][6][7][8]. - Purpose: By returning a function that can be evaluated by Gomega, it simplifies the retry logic often required when waiting for reconciliation loops to process status changes in an envtest environment [2][3][5].

Kubernetes API object metadata.name maximum length DNS subdomain 253 characters official documentation

💡 Result:

Yes, the official Kubernetes documentation and source code confirm that for most resource types, the metadata.name field must be a valid DNS subdomain as defined in RFC 1123, which has a maximum length of 253 characters [1][2][3]. Specifically, the constraints for a metadata.name (DNS subdomain) are: - It must contain no more than 253 characters [1][3]. - It must consist of lowercase alphanumeric characters, '-' (hyphen), or '.' (dot) [1][3]. - It must start and end with an alphanumeric character [1][3]. While the total name length is capped at 253 characters, Kubernetes resources that follow this DNS-1123 subdomain format are also composed of one or more DNS labels separated by dots, where each individual label has a maximum length of 63 characters [4]. Official validation logic in the Kubernetes codebase explicitly enforces the 253-character limit [3][5][6].

Citations:


Keep generated CompatibilityRequirement names within Kubernetes’ 253-character limit.

A maximum-length CRD name plus the ccapio- prefix creates a 260-character metadata.name. Kubernetes rejects the CompatibilityRequirement, so the revision cannot complete the compatibility phase. Generate a deterministic bounded name with a stable hash suffix and add a maximum-length boundary test.

Evaluate every probe for CompatibilityRequirement updates.

Both selectors use the same GroupKind. probeSucceededPredicate returns the first matching selector. After Admitted=True, a later Compatible=False to Compatible=True update checks only the already-true Admitted probe. The controller does not reconcile, so the compatibility phase can wait indefinitely.

Scan all matching selectors and return true when any probe transitions to true. Add a regression test that updates Admitted and Compatible in separate status updates.

and return true when any matching probe transitions to true. Add a regression
test covering separate status updates where Admitted becomes true first and
Compatible later changes from false to true.

I would have missed this. Feels like an opportunity for future subtle bugs, too. My preference would be to update probeSucceededPredicate instead to handle multiple probes for the same GVK.

@mdbooth, agreed. The predicate should support multiple probes for one GroupKind.

  • Update probeSucceededPredicate to evaluate every matching GroupKindSelector.
  • Add a focused regression test for separate Admitted and Compatible status updates.

    		Prober:    &probing.ConditionProbe{Type: "Compatible", Status: "True"},
    	}
    }

    These two probes share the same GroupKind while evaluating different conditions. This is relevant to probeSucceededPredicate, whose current lookup returns the first matching probe.

    func probeSucceededPredicate(probes ...*probing.GroupKindSelector) predicate.Predicate {
    	checkProbe := func(obj client.Object, fn func(p *probing.GroupKindSelector) bool) bool {
    		gk := obj.GetObjectKind().GroupVersionKind().GroupKind()
    		for _, p := range probes {
    			if p.GroupKind == gk {
    				return fn(p)
    			}
    		}
    
    		return false
    	}
    
    	return predicate.Funcs{
    		CreateFunc: func(e event.CreateEvent) bool {
    			return checkProbe(e.Object, func(p *probing.GroupKindSelector) bool {
    				return p.Probe(e.Object).Status == probing.StatusTrue
    			})
    		},
    		UpdateFunc: func(e event.UpdateEvent) bool {
    			return checkProbe(e.ObjectNew, func(p *probing.GroupKindSelector) bool {
    				return p.Probe(e.ObjectOld).Status != probing.StatusTrue &&
    					p.Probe(e.ObjectNew).Status == probing.StatusTrue
    			})
    		},
    		DeleteFunc:  func(event.DeleteEvent) bool { return false },
    		GenericFunc: func(event.GenericEvent) bool { return false },
    	}
    }

    The helper matches an object’s GroupKind against the provided probes and invokes the callback for only the first matching probe. Create events succeed when that probe is already true; update events succeed only on a transition to true. Unmatched objects and delete or generic events return false.

There are a couple of major things to address here, but despite that I think this is mostly there in terms of the work required.

I don't want to get hung up on my comments about the test-standards skill in this PR so lets handle that separately. I'm personally happy to approve this PR with or without the skill changes, and with or without my comments addressed.

The missing piece is an E2E. I'm happy to discuss whether we should add that in this PR or separately. My preference is this PR, otherwise we need to verify manually.

I think the E2E has to be disruptive. Also, because we disallow removing unmanagedCRDs it's only for ephemeral test clusters. That's not great, tbh. I'd like to see us:

  • Mark a core CRD (e.g. Cluster) as unmanaged
  • Fail to modify it in an incompatible way
  • Successfully modify it in a compatible way

@JoelSpeed interested in your thoughts on irreversible e2e tests.

FWIW I've been treating AfterEach as an anti-pattern generally. Prefer DeferCleanup where possible, which is almost always. DeferCleanup should run as soon as possible after the action which requires cleanup to avoid having to consider error paths, etc.

Nice set of additional rules, just one note about AfterEach.

However, I don't get the benefit of this because I don't use Claude. I would still very much like to see this moved somewhere it can be referenced:

  • By tools other than Claude
  • By agents not using this skill

I would like to see all of this moved somewhere else which is referenced by AGENTS.md. The skill can retain its front-matter etc and also require the agent to immediately read the reference file when the skill fires. AGENTS.md can use the same front-matter when referencing the doc, tbh.

I was going to say this isn't correct because we might not emit the object. However, on reflection I do think this is correct in a way which isn't obvious and therefore probably needs a comment:

IIRC (but lets at least get a bot to check):

  • collectObjects of a CRD results in the CRD being added to relatedObjects
  • a CRD in relatedObjects causes must-gather to fetch all objects of that kind

We want to must-gather to collect all objects for our CRDs, even if we don't manage them.

HOWEVER, thinking about that even further, that coupling is nasty. We could comment it here, but I think the cleaner solution in code would be to:

  • Only ever call collectObjects(obj) for objects which are actually omitted
  • Teach the relatedObjects collector that CompatibilityRequirements should be handled like CRDs

I think this has a much lower chance of a future innocuous cleanup breaking relatedObjects.

This is my preference, but otherwise this should have a comment and a warning label attached.

We MUST remove this check. It is not only legitimate to have an unmangedCRD entry for a CRD which isn't present, it's a documented use case1 when preparing to update to a version which managed a CRD that previously didn't.

i.e. Version X+1 installs Foo, version X does not. I am running version X and have my own Foo. I don't want to deal with a conflict error on upgrade.

  • While still running version X, add Foo to unmanaged CRDS <-- this would break
  • Upgrade to version X+1 never attempts to manage Foo, no errors

As mentioned before I'm intending to expand the things that go here, e.g. adding the managed label, proxy env, adoption annotation, etc, etc. As mentioned above, I also think it's cleaner and safer to only call collectObjects once for objects which we will actually emit. Therefore, I think I'd restructure this a bit something like:

  for component in Components
    var allTransformed

    for object in component.Objects
      transformed := object
      if isCRD(object)
        ... transformed = CRD compat
        ... add managed label until this transformation is moved below
     
      ... insert other tranformations here ...
      collectObject(transformed)

      allTransformed += transformed

    for obj in allTransformed
      if isCompat
        ...
      else if isCRD
        ...
      else
        ...

This isn't correct. A revision's unmanagedCRDs are specified on the revision itself. It is the responsibility of the revision controller to add them to the revision and create a new revision if they change. Different revisions can therefore have different unmanagedCRDs, depending on when they were created.

As mentioned elsewhere, this doesn't live here. It lives in RenderedRevision. We populate it from the APIRevision during conversion, and it comes directly from the specific API revision which is being converted, not from the spec.

If the revision controller isn't currently populating that we'll need to update the revision controller.

Also, because we disallow removing unmanagedCRDs it's only for ephemeral test clusters.

Do we actually prevent a user from deleting the entire resource? What happens if you oc delete clusterapi cluster? (is that the right resource?)

That's an interesting idea. I don't think so, but I can think of at least 1 way that it would break: the boxcutter revision number would reset, but existing resources would be tagged with a higher revision so wouldn't be updated. With some careful surgery it might be possible to fudge something, though. I'm thinking:

  • Patch CVO to unmanage capi-installer
  • Scale capi-installer to zero so revision controller doesn't stomp on us
  • Delete CAPI config
  • Create new CAPI object with status containing the most recent revision, but empty unmanagedCRDs in spec
  • Patch CVO to manage capi-installer again
  • Manually scale capi-installer to its previous value (to avoid waiting 10 minutes for CVO to do it)
  • Wait for CAPI config to create a new revision and become stable

That's moderately nasty, but it would allow us to run an e2e.
