What this PR does

select-e2e.sh had three selection outcomes: full suite, a scoped set, or nothing. This adds a fourth, the broad tier: every suite except kubernetes-latest and kubernetes-previous. Three path classes move into it from full_suite_pattern, the root go.mod/go.sum, the root Makefile, and hack/*.mk.

Those two suites are 68 of the 131 minutes of Chainsaw time on a green run. Because the root module sits in full_suite_pattern, the commonest pull request shape in this repository, a renovate bump, ran two full tenant Kubernetes bring-ups to validate a dependency change. One renovate branch accumulated 41 such runs.

Fail-closed is not what changes here. Every path is still classified, every escalation is still mandatory, and an unclassified path still reaches the full suite. Only the destination of one class of escalation moves.

Why these three paths, and not more

What those two suites uniquely assert is node join, kubelet version against versions.yaml, StorageClass propagation, NFS RWX and the ouroboros DNS hairpin. Everything else they exercise is covered by the app suites.

The ^ anchor already restricted the go.mod entry to the root module, which feeds cozystack-api and cozystack-controller, and a break there fails every suite rather than only these two. The image modules that do sit in the tenant path, kubevirt-csi-driver, token-proxy and kubeovn-webhook, carry their own go.mod under packages/ and are classified by the graph, so they are untouched. packages/core/, the Go trees and hack/*.sh stay on the full suite.

Widening the list later is a real decision rather than bookkeeping: each entry asserts that no change to those paths can reach the five things above.

What it costs

Nothing on either pull request lane runs the full suite without the opt-in e2e/full label, so a root go.mod bump that genuinely breaks tenant bring-up would be caught by nightly, after the merge. That is a reduction in pre-merge coverage for this path class, not a deferral, and it is worth stating plainly.

What bounds it: both withheld suites currently FAIL, including inside runs that are green overall (run 33372552453). Their node-join deadline stopped blocking merges in ad62a8d, so the 68 minutes were already buying a result nobody could merge on. e2e/full remains one label away whenever a reviewer wants the whole thing.

One accepted loss, since selection is per directory: kubernetes-sc-fallback-default, the second Test document in hack/e2e-chainsaw/kubernetes-latest/, is cheap and currently green, and it goes with them on this path class. It asserts a chart-level StorageClass fallback, and nothing in broad_suite_pattern touches a chart, so any change that could actually break it still escalates to the full suite through packages/ or the Go trees.

Three properties, all pinned by tests

Two were found by testing the first version and one by an independent review of it.

The tier must never SUBTRACT what the graph walk selected on its own account. A diff that edits the kubernetes chart and bumps go.mod has a path that genuinely needs the tenant suites, and the first version took them away again. It resolves after final_apps and unions with it.

A broad path selects no suite of its own, so trigger_any stays 0 for a diff that is nothing but a go.sum bump, and the "nothing to run" exit reported an empty selection. Both lanes read that as "skip Chainsaw" and then post the required status green, which is the #3392 shape.

Resolving the tier ahead of the unresolved-suite backstop let an unrelated go.mod bump in the same diff swallow that per-path escalation and its mandatory stderr line. That is the merge-before-escalate shape #3330 removed from the graph walk. The tier now resolves last, and the backstop is gated on trigger_any so a diff of only broad paths does not trip it.

Two tests that pinned the old destination for go.mod and hack/*.mk are updated rather than deleted. Eight cover the new outcome, including all three properties above, the stderr reason line, and that heavy_suites names suites that exist. Without that last one, renaming a suite makes the tier silently equal the full suite while every other test stays green.

Release note

test(e2e): the E2E test selector no longer runs the tenant-Kubernetes suites for changes to the root go.mod/go.sum, the root Makefile or hack/*.mk, which cannot reach what those suites uniquely assert. Add the `e2e/full` label to run the whole suite on such a pull request.

Changes

Broad E2E selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Broad tier definition
hack/select-e2e.sh, docs/agents/e2e-testing.md, .github/workflows/e2e-fork.yaml
The selector defines broad-tier paths and withholds only kubernetes-previous. Documentation describes four selection outcomes and the e2e/full label.
Selection resolution
hack/select-e2e.sh
Broad paths set a dedicated trigger. Full-suite and unresolved-suite escalation take precedence. Graph-selected suites remain included.
Selection behavior validation
hack/select-e2e_test.bats
Tests validate broad-only selection, escalation precedence, nested module matching, unknown suite handling, and the withheld suite configuration.

NOT LGTM. Three things this diff introduced need a fix; the selector logic itself holds up.

Business context: cut Chainsaw wall-time by withholding the two tenant-Kubernetes suites from build-input changes that cannot reach what those suites uniquely assert.

The failure this class of change makes invisible is a path that should pull the tenant suites and no longer does, so that is what I went looking for. I ran the selector over the kubernetes chart with its values, schema, versions files and image modules, plus kamaji, kubevirt, kube-ovn, capi-providers, linstor, the platform chart, cozy-lib and the API types. All of them still select kubernetes-latest. Mutating the new tier goes red where it should too: ordering against the full-suite check, ordering against the unresolved-suite backstop, the explicit-union, the trigger_broad guard on the empty exit, the stderr reason, and the heavy_suites contents.

Blockers

B1: the escape hatch names a label that does not exist

hack/select-e2e.sh:143 and :151 offer e2e/full as the way to get the full suite back. Both lanes read full-e2e: pull-requests.yaml:983, pull-requests.yaml:1018, e2e-fork.yaml:325. docs/agents/e2e-testing.md:97 already spells it that way, and grep -rn 'e2e/full' over the tree hits nothing but these two new lines. That paragraph declares a real reduction in pre-merge coverage and offers one mitigation, so the mitigation has to work as written.

B2: two comments still say these path classes escalate to the full suite

Line 112 drops go.mod/go.sum, Makefile and hack/*.mk from full_suite_pattern. The comment at hack/select-e2e.sh:81 still lists all three as members of it. git blame puts those lines at ae4e9e55c, so they were correct at the merge base and this diff made them wrong. The same sentence sits in .github/workflows/e2e-fork.yaml:641: "shared build inputs and the e2e harness escalate to the full suite". Both long bullets in docs/agents/e2e-testing.md got updated, these two were missed.

B3: the ^ on broad_suite_pattern carries the tenant-path argument and nothing pins it

Lines 130-133 say the image modules that sit in the tenant path carry their own go.mod under packages/ and get classified by the graph, so this entry cannot touch them. That holds only because of the ^ at hack/select-e2e.sh:156. I deleted it and re-ran the file: all 57 tests stay green, and packages/apps/kubernetes/images/kubevirt-csi-driver/go.mod moves from kubernetes-latest kubernetes-oidc-customconfig kubernetes-oidc-system kubernetes-previous to the 19-suite broad tier with both tenant suites withheld. Step 3a runs before the graph lookup at step 5, so the unanchored pattern takes the path before the graph ever sees it, and the stderr line reads the same either way. Every other load-bearing property in this change got a pin. One test asserting that path selects the kubernetes suites closes it.

Non-blocking

hack/select-e2e_test.bats:393, "heavy_suites names suites that exist on disk", never reads heavy_suites. It restates the two names in the test file and checks the directories exist. Its comment says a heavy_suites rename would otherwise pass unnoticed. I checked that, and a typo there goes red on tests 18, 19, 20 and 22. The directory check is worth keeping, but the title and the comment describe a different test.

hack/select-e2e.sh:155 says "the four things above" over a list of five. The PR body says five.

Worth coordinating with #4020 before either merges. It deletes both OIDC suite directories and remaps kubernetes-application to exactly the two names in heavy_suites. By text the merge is clean, neither branch touches the other's lines, but I simulated it: after both, a root go.mod change selects no suite that instantiates the tenant Kubernetes chart at all, where today the broad tier still runs the two render-side OIDC ones. Neither side's tests catch it.

full-e2e is not declared in .github/labels.yml even though both lanes gate on it. Predates this branch, not for this PR to fix.

NOT LGTM, unchanged. One addition to the #4020 point, now that I have measured the document overlap rather than assumed it.

Both branches rewrite the same line of docs/agents/e2e-testing.md, the "Every path is classified, and an unclassified one escalates" bullet, line 91 on main. The two edits do not collide in meaning: this branch turns "three selection outcomes" into four and names the broad tier, while #4020 rewrites the same sentence to drop the 60 files and "the three it filters out" counts in favour of count-free wording. Git conflicts on the line rather than merging quietly, so the hazard is the resolution rather than the merge. Taking either side whole drops the other half, and taking #4020's leaves the document saying three outcomes over a selector that has four.

Nothing else changes in the earlier review.

NOT LGTM, unchanged. Correction to B1: it changes the fix, not the finding.

e2e/full is introduced by #4005. That branch declares it at .github/labels.yml:336 with aliases: ['full-e2e'], and carries the consumers with it: git grep -c e2e/full on its head gives 26 matching lines in pull-requests.yaml, 5 in e2e-fork.yaml, 2 in promote-rc.yaml, 4 in docs/agents/e2e-testing.md and 7 in hack/promote-gate-contract.bats. On that same head full-e2e has zero matches in pull-requests.yaml, e2e-fork.yaml and docs/agents/e2e-testing.md, so the alias renames the existing label and the old name stops existing once #4005 merges.

The measurement in B1 stands. On origin/main today both lanes read full-e2e, and e2e/full appears nowhere in the tree except the two new comment lines in this branch. What was wrong is the conclusion I drew from it. Lines 143 and 151 are correct after #4005 and wrong before it, so editing them back to full-e2e is the wrong fix, because that is the name which goes away.

B1 stays a blocker with a different shape. Two branches carry a mutual dependency that neither declares and nothing enforces. Either #4005 merges first, or this PR body says it depends on it.

Route root module files, the root Makefile, and top-level make helpers to
a broad Chainsaw tier that retains kubernetes-latest and withholds only
kubernetes-previous. Full-suite paths and graph-selected suites still
win when the same diff needs broader coverage.

Pin the root-only anchor, mixed-path unions, fail-closed behavior, and
the configured withheld suite with tests that run through both Bats and
the dash-based CI runner.
