"Validate the RC" is step 5 of the release process and a checkbox on the pre-release checklist, but nothing said what validating meant, so it was whatever the person cutting the release thought to try. This writes down the suite that has been run by hand over the last few releases' worth of work, as 22 cases across five parts: package lifecycle, failure handling and retention, host effects, upgrade from the previous release, and lifecycle controls. Each case states what it proves and what to expect, because a checklist nobody understands gets pencil-whipped. Three things here are not reachable from CI, which is why the suite exists rather than growing chainsaw further: - Flows a user drives rather than a fixture: unparking a failed package by editing it, pausing mid-roll, changing a ConfigMap while its stage runs, deleting a node under a running package. - Host effects. Automated tests run the agentless package image, which sleeps and exits, so they prove the operator scheduled work and not that a package changed a host. Part 3 uses the real agent and asserts on the node through the debugger pod the operator-agent suite already provides. The setup note about AGENT_IMAGE is the load-bearing part: get it wrong and every case in that part passes while proving nothing. - Upgrade from the previous release, which by definition cannot be tested from a single commit. Known limitations are listed so a validator confirms them instead of re-filing them, and the sign-off table gives the checklist something to point at.

Running the suite end to end on main caught this: the setup section told you to start the operator with the real agent, but Parts 1, 2 and 5 use the agentless package fixture, which ships no agent config. Every case in those parts failed on FileNotFoundError: .../config.json before the first assertion. The two fixture families need different AGENT_IMAGE values and the operator has to be restarted between Part 3 and the rest, which the setup did not say. Replaces the single AGENT_IMAGE line with a per-part table and names both failure modes, because they look nothing alike: the real agent against an agentless package fails loudly, while agentless against a shellscript package passes having executed nothing -- the one that silently invalidates Part 3.

Ran the whole suite against
|
| Part | Cases | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — lifecycle | L1–L6 | 6/6 pass |
| 2 — failure handling | F1–F6 (+F1b, F5b) | 8/8 pass |
| 3 — host effects | H1–H5 (+H5b) | 6/6 pass |
| 4 — upgrade from previous release | U1–U3 (+U2b) | 4/4 pass |
| 5 — lifecycle controls | C1–C2 | 2/2 pass |
Selected evidence rather than a wall of it:
- L1
jobDL=ABSENT podDL=3600 bo=3 pc=1/1 repl=Failed, 2 pods retained,ttl=3600,
state-recorded=true, logs readable after completion, CLI agrees. - L5
maxCordonedAtOnce=1across the whole two-node rollout, one interrupt Job per node. - F1
failed=4 ttl=86400 BackoffLimitExceeded, exactly 2 archive pods, no churn over 45s, and
both unpark paths cleared the terminal Job. - F3
OutOfcpu, no container statuses, nevererroring, then swept and recreated. - F4 eviction
code 201,status.failedstayed empty — no budget spent. - F6 orphan swept at t+4s with
reason='node no longer exists', CR still reachedcomplete. - H1
/etc/nw-smoke-a1=helloon the node; H2 host line orderapply,config,post-interrupt;
H3 after TTL collected all Jobs and pods, 8 host log files and the host change survived. - H4 4 apply executions for 4 attempts with the
Idempotence.Disabledmarker — the documented
semantics, confirmed rather than assumed. - U1 upgrade from the previous release created 0 Jobs and 0 package pods; U3 rollback
succeeded in 108s with CRDs intact and node state byte-identical to the pre-upgrade snapshot;
U2 held for 8 cycles naming the in-flight CR without creating a single Job, and released once
that CR was removed.
One fix the run forced, pushed as 62459d10
The suite as first written did not run. Setup said to start the operator with the real agent, but
Parts 1, 2 and 5 use the agentless fixture, which ships no agent config — L1 and L2 failed on
FileNotFoundError: .../config.json before reaching an assertion.
AGENT_IMAGE is not one setting for the whole run. The setup section now carries a per-part table and
an explicit restart between Part 3 and the rest, and names both failure modes, since they look nothing
alike:
- real agent +
agentlesspackage → every stage fails loudly on the missingconfig.json; agentless+shellscriptpackage → stages pass having executed nothing, which is the one that
silently invalidates Part 3.
That is exactly the class of defect a suite is supposed to surface on its first real run, and it is
the second time this specific trap has cost a run — which is why it is now the most prominent thing
in the setup section.

Running the suite end to end surfaced a set of operational facts that are not product behaviour but cost an hour each if rediscovered. Folding them in so the second run is cheaper than the first: - Batch the operator restarts. Four cases need non-default settings and a restart is a minute each, so the order they are grouped in matters. - F6 is destructive and now says so: it deletes a node, and the only way back is a cluster rebuild, so it goes last in its part. - Verify kubectl apply succeeded before entering a wait loop. The webhook is not serving the instant 'helm --wait' returns, and a rejected apply plus a wait loop burns the loop's whole timeout on an object that was never created. - Wait on the right signal: package work is in init containers, so a pod never reaches Running; CR .status lags an edit by a beat; and an interrupt-in-flight case needs the CR confirmed in_progress first, or the fixture is a different case wearing the same name. - Read logs from every replica. A chart install runs two with leader election and 'logs deploy/<name>' picks one, so a hold or sweep line looks absent when it fired on the other pod. - Budget the wall clock for Part 4: rebuild + install + baseline + upgrade runs several minutes before the first assertion. Also: a second worker's selector label has to be cleared between cases or later single-node cases silently run twice; the agent treats a script it cannot find as success, so a typo'd filename and an absent step look identical; H5's full-wipe CR has to use shellscript like the rest of Part 3; and the sign-off table now records which operator settings each part ran under, since that is the first question when a result is disputed.

Two review findings, both real. F4 gave the eviction as 'kubectl create --raw .../eviction -f -' with no request body. The -f - reads stdin, so following it literally hangs rather than evicting anything -- the exact class of defect this document cannot afford, since a validator who hits it concludes the product is broken. It now carries the full command with a policy/v1 Eviction body and states that a successful call returns 201. Verified by running the block verbatim against a live attempt. Setup claimed a kind cluster covers everything 'except Part 4's scale caveats'. Part 4 is the upgrade section and has no scale requirement -- the scale caveat belongs to 'Not covered here'. What Part 4 actually needs is the previous release's chart and a cluster rebuilt between its cases, which is what it now says. Signed-off-by: Alex Yuskauskas <ayuskauskas@nvidia.com>

- F4's block was not valid shell: 'POD=<a running attempt>' is a redirect, so pasting it errored before kubectl ran. It now derives POD from the cluster and quotes NAMESPACE, and was verified by extracting the block from this file and executing it (bash -n clean, call returned 201). - The reset table's L5 row described the hazard instead of instructing: it now says to remove the second worker's selector label, since leaving it on makes later single-node cases run across two nodes. - H2 could pass without running every step, because the agent treats a script it cannot find as success. The case now says its own assertion is the guard -- a step that did not run leaves no line -- and to check the line count, not just the order. - F5 named the TTL env vars but not how to set them on a chart install; both paths are now given. - Release process step 5 said to bump to -rc.2 and 'repeat until clean', which on a second repeat reuses an existing tag. It now says to take the next RC each time and gives the full tag form. Signed-off-by: Alex Yuskauskas <ayuskauskas@nvidia.com>
The first draft claimed CI could not reach three things and then listed 22 cases, most of which chainsaw already asserts. One of the three claims was flatly wrong: 'upgrade from the previous release cannot be tested from one commit' sits next to make migration-test, whose README says it upgrades from the last pre-rename operator and proves state is adopted without re-running packages. helm/helm-upgrade-rollback-test covers the rollback mechanism, and k8s-tests/migration/skyhook-hold.yaml covers the in-flight hold. Checking case by case, roughly fourteen of the twenty-two had real coverage. A release checklist that re-does automated work by hand is worse than no checklist: it costs a day and trains people to skim. So this now opens by telling the releaser to run make test and make migration-test, lists what those cover so it is not re-tested, and keeps eight cases that are genuinely uncovered or covered only as a shape where the behaviour over time is the point: - kubelet-refused attempts (OutOfcpu appears nowhere in k8s-tests) - disruption casualties (DisruptionTarget appears nowhere) - a node deleted mid-run (cleanup-pods is orphaned pods after a state reset, a different path) - re-execution semantics (Idempotence appears nowhere, and this is the fact package authors most need) - TTL collection by outcome, where only the value is asserted today - disable-after-pause, where pause and resume are covered but the interaction is not - a stage timeout firing, where only its presence is asserted - node state across a rollback, which the helm test cannot show because it never drives a package Three of those four hard gaps were found by running the suite by hand, which is the argument for keeping a manual pass at all.

Rescoped: 22 cases → 8, after checking what CI already covers (
|
| # | Case | Why it stays |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | kubelet-refused attempts | OutOfcpu appears nowhere in k8s-tests/ |
| 2 | disruption casualties | DisruptionTarget appears nowhere |
| 3 | node deleted mid-run | cleanup-pods sweeps orphaned pods after a state reset — a different path |
| 4 | re-execution semantics | Idempotence appears nowhere, and it is the fact package authors most need |
| 5 | TTL collection by outcome | failure-nodewright asserts the TTL value; nothing shows the cluster acting on it |
| 6 | disable must not resume | pause-suspends-jobs covers pause and resume, not the interaction |
| 7 | stage timeout fires | simple-nodewright asserts stageTimeout is set, not that it fires |
| 8 | node state survives rollback | the helm test never drives a package, so it cannot speak to state |
Cases 1–4 are outright gaps; 5–8 are covered as a shape where the thing worth checking is behaviour
over time — which chainsaw is bad at and a human watching a cluster is good at.
Three of those four hard gaps were found by running the suite by hand, which is the honest argument
for keeping a manual pass at all. Net: -221/+146 lines, 196 total, and every referenced test path,
make target and cross-link verified to resolve.
…n operator changes Auditing the manual release checklist against the suites showed most of it was already covered. Four of the remaining gaps were automatable, so they are tests rather than a document telling someone to do it by hand. New chainsaw tests, all in the core pool: - stage-timeout: a package asks for 600s and is allowed 20s, so a pod reporting DeadlineExceeded proves the deadline fired without the test measuring wall-clock. Also asserts the Job carries no whole-stage deadline, which #402 removed and nothing guarded. - kubelet-refused: package pods carry spec.nodeName, so kubelet admission is the only gate; asking for more CPU than the node has makes every attempt refused with no container statuses at all. Asserts the package never goes erroring -- blaming it would park a stage that never ran a line of script when the node is what needs attention. - disruption-casualty: evicts a running attempt through the eviction subresource so DisruptionTarget is actually set, then asserts the retry budget is untouched and a replacement runs. A plain delete does not set the condition, which is why this needs the raw subresource call. pause-suspends-jobs gains the disable interaction: pause, then add disable and remove pause in one edit. The Job must stay suspended. Pause and resume were covered; the transition between the two annotations was not, and it is where a resume can slip through. All three poll to an outcome rather than a fixed duration -- the first drafts held for a flat 2-3 minutes each, which the pools cannot afford. kubelet-refused tracks the highest status.failed seen instead of waiting for backoffLimit+1, because the operator sweeps a fully-refused Job and recreates it, resetting the counter; the sweep is correct and would have made the test flaky. Separately, operator-ci gains an operator-agent row. agent-ci runs that suite when the agent changes, but nothing ran it when the operator changed -- and the operator is what builds the pod the agent runs in: its args, mounts, copy dir and config.json. Every other suite uses the agentless image, which never reads any of that, so a break in the contract could reach a release unnoticed. AGENT_IMAGE is read from chart/values.yaml so bumping the agent cannot leave the row testing an older one. The manual document drops from eight cases to four.

The suite shells out to operator/bin/nodewright to reset state from a prior run, but the target never built it. agent-ci gets away with this because its job runs 'make build-cli' as a separate line first; the new operator-agent row in operator-ci calls the target directly and hit exit 127. Only reap_old_logs surfaced it. The other three swallow the missing binary with '2>/dev/null || true' -- reasonable, since reset legitimately fails when there is no prior state, but it means a genuinely absent CLI is invisible in three tests out of four. Declared as a prerequisite rather than fixed in the workflow so a local 'make operator-agent-tests' works from a clean tree too, matching how e2e-tests declares build-cli.

* ci(operator): exclude generated deepcopy from reported coverage zz_generated.deepcopy.go is ~916 statements at 49.8%, about a quarter of all uncovered code in the repo. It is controller-gen output and nobody should hand-write a test for DeepCopyInto, but nothing filtered it, so it cost roughly 4 points of the headline number and buried the coverage of code people write. The legacy api/v1alpha1 copy sits near 29% purely because that CRD is read-only. Adds COVERAGE_EXCLUDE to operator/Makefile as the single definition, applied by a new filter-coverage target. merge-coverage now calls it, so per-suite artifacts are filtered at the source, and the upload-coverage job calls it again on the combined profile so a suite that starts uploading a raw profile cannot quietly reintroduce the generated files. This has to happen before upload: Coveralls has no exclusion mechanism for Go profiles. There is no .coveralls.yml key for it and coverallsapp/github-action has no such input, so it counts whatever profile it is handed. Verified against the merged profile from the run on #493: 5619 blocks in, 480 excluded, 78.7% -> 82.4%. Drive-by: the .PHONY line above merge-coverage read "merage-coverage", so the target was never actually declared phony. Fixed, and both targets now carry ## help text so they show up in make help. Reported coverage steps up once when this merges. That is a measurement change, not new testing. Signed-off-by: Alex Yuskauskas <ayuskauskas@nvidia.com> * ci(operator): refuse a coverage exclusion that would empty the profile COVERAGE_EXCLUDE is overridable, and every way a bad value can go wrong ended in the same place: an empty cover.out replacing a good one and reporting 0% to Coveralls, with nothing in the log blaming the pattern. - an empty value makes `grep -v -E ''` match every line (exit 1) - a pattern broad enough to match everything does the same (exit 1) - an invalid ERE truncates the redirect target *before* grep reports the error (exit 2), so the output is already destroyed by the time it fails `|| true` hid all three and mv installed the wreckage. filter-coverage now treats an empty value as "report the unfiltered profile", and refuses on any grep exit above 1 *or* an empty result whatever the exit status, leaving cover.out untouched. The empty-result check matters on its own: exit 1 is not safe to accept, since it is exactly what a too-broad pattern returns. Verified against the real merged profile for all five paths: normal (480 of 5619 blocks excluded), empty value, match-everything, invalid ERE, and no profile present. The two failure cases leave cover.out at its original 5619 lines and fail merge-coverage rather than letting a broken profile reach the upload step.

…dation doc Review found each of the three new tests, and the added pause-suspends-jobs step, already asserted by a named unit test on main: - kubelet-refused -> job_controller_test.go "attempts the kubelet refused to admit are not the package's failure" (and the two kubelet-refused-every-attempt cases in swap_test.go) - stage-timeout -> job_builder_test.go "sets no Job-level deadline, so a second clock can never disagree with the per-attempt one", plus the whole stage-bounds block; the erroring reaction is swap_test.go "records erroring from a per-attempt deadline whose container never started" - disruption-casualty -> job_builder_test.go "uses restartPolicy Never and ignores DisruptionTarget disruptions" and the casualty case in job_controller_test.go - pause + disable -> swap_test.go "does not resume a disabled Skyhook's suspended Jobs" What each added on top was that a real kubelet or Job controller produces the shape the unit fixtures assume -- upstream behaviour, not ours, and not worth four pool entries. release-validation.md goes with them: most of what it listed is automatable, and a document that hand-mirrors the test tree has nothing keeping it true. The release-process.md edits referenced it, so they revert too. Leaves the operator-agent CI row, which nothing in the review disputed. Signed-off-by: Alex Yuskauskas <ayuskauskas@nvidia.com>

What
operator-agentis the only suite that runs the real agent rather than theagentlesspackage image, so it is the only one that proves a package's scripts actually run on the host.
agent-ci.yamlruns it when the agent changes. Nothing ran it when the operator changed —even though the operator is what builds the pod the agent runs in: its args, mounts, copy dir and
config.json. Every other suite usesagentless, which reads none of that, so a break in thecontract could reach a release unnoticed.
This adds an
operator-agentrow tooperator-ci.yaml, plus the two things needed to make ittrustworthy.
AGENT_IMAGEcomes fromchart/values.yamlThe suite refuses to run without an explicit
AGENT_IMAGE, because the Makefile's global defaultis
agentless— which would pass every case while executing nothing. The row resolves the imagefrom
chart/values.yaml(controllerManager.manager.agent.{repository,tag}) rather than pinning aversion in the workflow, so bumping the agent in one place cannot leave this row testing an older
one, and it tests the agent version users actually pair the operator with. The step fails loudly if
either value is missing rather than falling through to a default.
It uses
operator/bin/yq, not the runner's:install-depspins the version and the binaries arealready restored from cache at that point in the job.
operator-agent-testsnow depends onbuild-cliThe suite shells out to
bin/nodewrightto reset prior state, the same reasone2e-testsdeclaresit. Three of the four tests hide a missing binary behind
|| true, so without this onlyreap_old_logsfails — and it fails as exit 127, which points at nothing.Cost
One extra matrix row on operator changes, with its own kind cluster (
setup-kind-cluster operator-agent-tests) on the primary k8s version only.Scope
This started as a larger change: three new chainsaw tests, a fourth extended, and a
release-validation.mdmanual pass. Review established that each test was already asserted by anamed unit test on
main—kubelet-refusedby "attempts the kubelet refused to admit are not thepackage's failure",
stage-timeoutby "sets no Job-level deadline, so a second clock can neverdisagree with the per-attempt one",
disruption-casualtyby "uses restartPolicy Never and ignoresDisruptionTarget disruptions", and the pause/disable step by "does not resume a disabled Skyhook's
suspended Jobs". What each added on top was that a real kubelet or Job controller produces the
shape those fixtures assume: upstream behaviour, not ours.
Those are dropped, and
release-validation.mdwith them — most of what it listed is automatable,and a document that hand-mirrors the test tree has nothing keeping it true. The follow-ups worth
filing from that audit, roughly cheapest first: node-state survival across
helm rollback(add tohelm-upgrade-rollback-test, which already rolls back but never drives a CR); non-idempotent stepsre-running once per retry attempt (belongs in
k8s-tests/operator-agent/, newly gated by this PR);a fake
rebootearly inPATHon kind nodes so theREBOOTinterrupt path can be asserted at all;Node deletion mid-run; and TTL collection by outcome.
