What this PR does

make update in packages/system/kubevirt-cdi began with rm -rf templates and then refetched one file, cdi-cr.yaml. Nothing in that directory is purely vendored. Two of the three manifests, the upload-proxy Ingress and TLSRoute from the Gateway API work, are ours and no fetch recreates them, so the next CDI bump would have dropped upload-proxy exposure from the chart and still exited 0. The third is cdi-cr.yaml itself, which despite its name carries Helm templating, the ExpandDisks gate, a toleration and the two RBAC documents that preauthorize cloning from cozy-public; the fetch overwrites it, and removing the wipe does not change that.

That recipe now opens with mkdir -p templates and deletes nothing, which is where packages/system/kubevirt-operator landed at the last KubeVirt bump. The wipe bought nothing there anyway: wget -O truncates the file it writes.

kubevirt-cdi-operator has the same recipe shape, and the same edit there would be a regression rather than a fix. It applies two patches, and since #3920 moved them to -p4 they resolve, so a hunk upstream has moved out from under leaves templates/cdi-operator.yaml.rej; its awk -i inplace step leaves templates/cdi-operator.yaml.gawk.XXXXXX if gawk dies abnormally. Helm renders every file under templates/, and I reproduced both: the reject fails the package with a YAML parse error, and the gawk temp renders a duplicate object at exit 0. The wipe is what takes both, so removing it for symmetry would trade a latent loss for a live one, and the quieter of the two is the one that survives.

Deleting the wipe there wants the recipe restructured to transform outside templates/ and move the result in once, which is what kubevirt-operator does today and what its own comment gives this exact reason for. That is a larger change than this one and belongs on its own; #4383 makes it. Meanwhile the scan below covers the package: I added a first-party file to its templates/ and the guard reported it, so the day that package grows one, this fails rather than the file being lost.

hack/package-update-templates.bats guards this across the tree rather than in these two packages. It scans every package Makefile and fails when a recipe that clears its own templates/ leaves behind a tracked file it never names. Put the removal back into kubevirt-cdi and it goes red naming both upload-proxy files. A file counts as named only outside the Makefile's own NAME and NAMESPACE, however the assignment is written. The match is on the variable name rather than on a list of spellings: the tree already carries three of them, export NAME=, the bare NAME=, and NAME := in packages/core/testing, and the hole is identical in each. Without that, a package called foo-bar satisfies the check for its own templates/bar.yaml through its identity alone. Nothing the scan reaches is exempted that way as the tree stands, so the exclusion is there for the first package that would be: rename the asset in kubevirt-cdi-operator's recipe and put the removal back, and the guard reports the orphaned template only with the exclusion in place. The two variables are matched by name rather than by a [A-Z_]+= shape, because a shape that broad is one unspaced assignment away from swallowing a variable that does name templates, which is how etcd-operator-crds names all five of its CRDs. A control test runs the same helpers over a fixture broken the same way, over one whose name swallows a template stem, then over that fixture rewritten to spell the removal with a trailing slash, to take one file instead of the directory, and to drop the removal entirely. Both cases pass under hack/cozytest.sh hack/package-update-templates.bats.

Two limits, both written into the file's header. The check fires on the consequence rather than the shape, so rm -rf templates in a package that does refetch everything stays green, which is what keeps kubevirt-cdi-operator green for as long as its recipe wipes. And it only looks at a recipe clearing its own directory: cert-manager clears ../cert-manager-crds/templates/* across the package boundary, which needs the removal's target resolved rather than the wiping package's own, so that directory is unguarded. The other packages that clear their own templates/ refetch all of it and are untouched here.

Two more limits the header names. The scan reads the text of each package's own update: recipe, so a removal made elsewhere is out of range: in a prerequisite target, behind an include, or behind a recursive make. capi-operator, clustersecret-operator, openbao and reloader write update: clean <name>-update and take both recipes from hack/package.mk, which removes nothing under templates/ today. And the glob stops at packages/*/*/Makefile. The package Makefiles off that depth are the group aggregators such as packages/system/Makefile and the vendored kamaji subcharts, and none of them declares update.

One behaviour of the matcher worth naming, and deliberately not changed here. wipe_command evaluates /^update:/ ahead of its terminator, so a second update: in the same Makefile re-arms the scan instead of ending it, and what that means depends on what sits between the two: adjacent or separated by a blank line, both recipes are read; separated by another target, only the first is. The direction that matters is a false positive rather than a miss. A Makefile whose first update: clears templates/ and whose second does not would be reported by this scan, while make runs only the second, so the package fails over a recipe that never executes. No package in the tree defines update: twice today.

Three more notes, all non-blocking and none acted on. The header says what the scan leaves uncovered is a recipe clearing someone else's templates/; that is the uncovered set for deletion, and kubevirt-cdi is green under the scan while still losing cdi-cr.yaml's content to the in-place wget -O on every run, which the Makefile comment records but the header does not. The identity strip has a false-positive direction the header does not argue: a wiping package writing templates/$(NAME).yaml would be reported even though the recipe writes it, which no package does today. And the fixture stages .gitkeep with git add --all, so a developer whose global excludes list that name would get a red for environment rather than defect; --force would remove the dependency.

The stem match is generous, and the helper's comment now names the two live shapes. A sibling name: templates/crds.yaml next to the existing templates/crds-experimental.yaml on gateway-api-crds. A mention from an unrelated context: templates/sidecar.yaml on objectstorage-controller, whose Makefile says sidecar across its image targets while its recipe clears templates/ and writes only templates/controller.yaml. I fed both to the helper and both come back exempted; a stem the Makefile never mentions is still reported.

The duplicate test: target in this Makefile is #4157 and stays there. It sits outside the hunks this diff touches, so removing it here would be reaching past what this change is about.

One more note, not a defect. Where the comment points at kubevirt-operator as the shape that closes the transient-file class, packages/system/kubevirt/Makefile is the closer analogue for the cdi-cr.yaml half specifically: its update downloads nothing and re-applies the parameterization onto a hand-maintained CR with a per-marker self-check. And the failure message offers a third option, staging into a tmpdir the way etcd-operator-crds does, in a parenthetical that reads as a gloss on the option before it.

What this PR does not fix, and what does. make update here still overwrites templates/cdi-cr.yaml, which the Makefile comment says plainly. A wholesale overwrite is loud: upstream's object carries neither podResourceRequirements nor cloneStrategyOverride, and tests/importer-resources_test.yaml and tests/clone_strategy_test.yaml pin both, so helm unittest goes red. The silent case is a partial hand reconciliation that keeps those two and drops something else, because nothing here pins the ExpandDisks gate, the CriticalAddonsOnly toleration, the uploadProxyURL override or the two RBAC documents that preauthorize tenant cloning from cozy-public. #4107, stacked on this branch, stops update writing the file at all and adds tests/local_templates_test.yaml, which pins those.

One limit the header does not name, left alone here. The comment strip is anchored to the start of a line, so a trailing comment on a recipe line survives into the searched text and counts as naming the file it mentions. I confirmed it by feeding wget ... -O templates/cdi-cr.yaml # local-extra.yaml is written by hand through the filter. Nothing in the tree is written that way, and the header only claims comment lines are dropped, which is what it does. sed 's/#.*//' in place of the grep -v closes it if it ever matters.

Closes #4028.

Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map in docs/agents/contributing.md against the diff. Two entries come close: the website's "developer tooling (the package Makefiles)" line, and ccp's "move or rename anything under hack/". Neither fires. make update still behaves as the website's development page describes, nothing under hack/ moved or was renamed, and the two files ccp's skills key on (hack/package.mk, hack/common-envs.mk) are untouched.

Verdict

LGTM with non-blocking notes

The deletion was real and the fix is the right shape. git ls-files -- packages/system/kubevirt-cdi/templates returns cdi-cr.yaml, cdi-uploadproxy-ingress.yaml and cdi-uploadproxy-tlsroute.yaml, and only the first is written by the recipe, so rm -rf templates at the merge base really did take the other two. Reverting your fix and re-running the suite names both files and exits 1, so the new test is not vacuous. Nothing cluster-facing moves: render-diff between the merge base and head reports zero regressions across three corners for both packages.

Pinning the consequence rather than the text of rm -rf was the right call, and the test's enumeration cannot go stale, since it walks the git index rather than a pinned list.

Findings

  • [MINOR] hack/package-update-templates.bats:81, two accepted spellings have no isolating fixture and the scan has no floor on recognising a wiping recipe
  • [MINOR] packages/system/kubevirt-cdi-operator/Makefile:12, patch -p1 cannot resolve here, and #3920 edits this same recipe

Still open

Two more blind spots in the same guard. The floor proposed in the first finding closes neither, which is why they sit here and not inside it.

wipe_command reads only the tab-indented lines directly under update:, so a wipe reached through a prerequisite is invisible. That indirection is already in the tree: five packages declare update: clean <name>-update (packages/system/openbao/Makefile:13, plus capi-operator, clustersecret-operator, reloader, and packages/extra/ingress/Makefile:5), with the recipes living in hack/package.mk. Not live today: clean: at hack/package.mk:32 removes only charts/. Widen it to templates/ some day and the guard goes quiet while the deletion carries on. The wipers floor will not save you, because other packages still match and the counter stays above zero.

The scan glob packages/*/*/Makefile at line 128 only reaches depth four, and the tree already has chart Makefiles below it (packages/system/kamaji/charts/kamaji/Makefile, .../kamaji-crds/Makefile). Neither has an update target today, so this one is latent too. What it costs is the header's claim that a package growing its first first-party manifest under a wiping recipe gets caught by the commit that adds it: down there, it does not. examined -eq 0 is no help, same reason.

Left unverified

I did not get a full green make bats-unit-tests. It ran 756 tests green and stopped at hack/nightly-mirror_test.bats, case "the host rewrite reaches a host that is the whole scalar value". That case fails identically in a worktree at the merge base, so it is not this change, but the suites after it were not exercised. The new file itself is dash-clean: hack/cozytest.sh is #!/bin/sh, which is dash on the runner and bash locally, so I re-ran it under /bin/dash and both tests stayed green.

Recommended follow-ups

Cover the cross-package removal, so cert-manager clearing ../cert-manager-crds/templates/* is guarded before someone puts a hand-written manifest in that directory. Nothing is lost there today, since the following mv and cp put back every one of the seven tracked files, but it needs the removal's target path resolved instead of the wiping package's own.

Findings not anchored to changed lines

These reference code outside this PR's diff (unchanged files, or lines outside a hunk), so GitHub cannot render them inline.

[MINOR] packages/system/kubevirt-cdi-operator/Makefile:12 patch -p1 cannot resolve here, and #3920 edits this same recipe

From the package directory -p1 leaves system/kubevirt-cdi-operator/templates/cdi-operator.yaml, which is not there, so this recipe exits non-zero before it finishes:

$ patch --dry-run --no-backup-if-mismatch -p1 < patches/startupProbe.diff
File to patch:
No file found--skip this patch? [y]
1 out of 1 hunks ignored
exit=1

$ patch --dry-run --no-backup-if-mismatch -p4 < patches/startupProbe.diff
patching file 'templates/cdi-operator.yaml'
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [y]
exit=0

The reversed-patch prompt is just the tracked file already carrying the hunk; the point is that -p4 finds the file and -p1 does not. packages/system/multus/Makefile:20 already uses -p4 for a diff rooted the same way.

Do not fix it here, though. #3920 already changes this line to -p4 and adds a second patch ... tolerations.diff beside it, and it rewrites the same update: recipe you are rewriting. At its head that recipe still opens with rm -rf templates / mkdir templates, the two lines this PR replaces with mkdir -p templates. So the two branches edit one hunk in opposite directions and will conflict. Whoever merges second decides the outcome, and the careless resolutions are both bad: taking #3920's side puts rm -rf templates back into a recipe this PR just made safe, and taking this PR's side drops the -p4 fix and the tolerations patch. Worth agreeing an order and having the later branch rebase rather than resolving it in the merge box.

[MINOR] two accepted spellings have no isolating fixture and the scan has no floor on recognising a wiping recipe

The scan's entire reach is decided by this regex, and the control test isolates three of the five things it accepts. Per-term mutation over the shipped suite (review-helper mutate, 7 reversions, each in its own checkout, test hack/cozytest.sh hack/package-update-templates.bats):

GAPS: 2   answered: 7 of 7
  M1 drop -fr/-r spellings from wipe regex         GAP: the suite stayed green without the fix
  M4 drop ; and & from terminator class            GAP: the suite stayed green without the fix
  M2 drop optional ./ prefix                       covered: the suite went red
  M3 drop trailing-slash and /* glob acceptance    covered: the suite went red
  M5 drop comment stripping                        covered: the suite went red
  M6 drop empty-stem (dotfile) guard               covered: the suite went red
  M7 read working tree instead of the git index    covered: the suite went red

M4 is the one with a live subject. Running wipe_command over the tree at head, six recipes clear their own templates/: etcd-operator-crds, gateway-api-crds, kubevirt-instancetypes, multus, objectstorage-controller, vsnap-crd. etcd-operator-crds is in that list only through the ; terminator (rm -rf templates; mkdir templates; \), and nothing turns red if ; ever leaves the class.

The file already carries two floors against reporting success having measured nothing: examined -eq 0 at line 143 and the git ls-files -- packages probe at line 150. The third is missing, and it is the one both gaps produce: [ -n "$(wipe_command "$mk")" ] || continue skips every package, the loop finishes, and the test passes having inspected no templates/ at all. The trailing || true here is what makes that outcome silent instead of loud, so the shape is the same whether the matcher was narrowed deliberately or awk/grep failed on a Makefile.

Two additions close it: a fixture per remaining spelling in the control test (rm -fr templates, rm -r templates, rm -rf templates;) beside the ./, trailing-slash and /* cases already there, and a wipers counter in the scan with a [ "$wipers" -ge 1 ] floor next to the two existing ones.

What would change my mind: if the spelling set is meant as a closed hand-audited list rather than a detector, the floor alone carries it and the extra fixtures are noise.

Both closed at 3d5f0f7. Re-ran your two mutations against the current file: dropping -fr/-r, and dropping ;/&, each turn the control red now. M4 was worth more than its count suggests. etcd-operator-crds writes rm -rf templates; mkdir templates; \ and qualifies through the ; branch alone, so that branch is what keeps it in the scanned set.

Fix works and I checked it on main: make update in packages/system/kubevirt-cdi leaves templates/ with one file, both upload-proxy manifests gone, exit 0. At c582cc5 both survive. Re-adding the wipe turns the bats case red, so it pins behaviour and not just the current text.

Blocking on three small edits to the guard, all inline. None of them needs anything exotic to reach. One is a tidy-up of the regex it sits on, one is adding a blank line for readability, and the third is writing a comment where the removal used to be, which is about the most likely edit this recipe will ever get.

Two lines for the header's uncovered-cases paragraph while you are in there, neither blocking. It names the cross-package case but not the include-indirection one, which your PR body does state. And the generosity sentence should name the sibling-stem shape concretely: "an unrelated reason" reads as a remote accident, when the likely trigger is adding templates/crds.yaml next to an existing templates/crds-experimental.yaml. That passes green on gateway-api-crds today. I would not touch the match itself, there is no clean fix and you disclosed the principle correctly. The include path is fine as code by the way, neither clean: nor %-update: in hack/package.mk goes near templates/, so there is nothing there to catch.

One thing to take out of the body. The closing paragraph says kubevirt-cdi-operator ends its recipe with patch -p1 and needs its own change. Both lines are -p4 at HEAD and at the merge base, #3920 already moved them, so that paragraph sends someone after a defect that is not there. Worst case they "restore" -p4 back to -p1 and break the recipe for real.

Merge order as well. Nothing wrong with this branch, but #4107 carries 26dbb1b1f, an older revision of this same commit, and github reports it mergeable against main on its own. Land this one first, then rebase #4107 onto c582cc537 and the stale commit drops out. The gap between the two is narrower than the body suggests: a wholesale overwrite of cdi-cr.yaml turns helm unittest red, so the fully silent case needs a partial hand-reconciliation rather than any bump at all.

Sharpest of the three. wipe_command has no comment filter and unnamed_templates in this same file does, and that disagreement between the two helpers is the bug. A tab-indented comment inside the recipe gets counted as a wipe. Ran it:

update:
	mkdir -p templates
	# deliberately no rm -rf templates here: the upload-proxy files are ours

That fails packages/system/kubevirt-cdi and names both upload-proxy files, the two this PR exists to save. And a comment in exactly that spot is the most likely edit this recipe will ever get, since the whole change is "the removal is gone, here is why". No subjects in the tree today. Fix mirrors what the other helper already does:

r && /^\t[[:space:]]*@?#/ { next }
r && /^\t/ { print; next }

plus a fixture. Don't read the punctuation as partial cover: rm -rf templates here fires, rm -rf templates: does not, only because : is missing from the terminator class. That is English prose, not a defence.

Reproduced with your recipe before changing anything: it fires and names both upload-proxy files. Fixed the disagreement between the two helpers rather than the symptom, so wipe_command reads a recipe the way make does and passes over tab-indented comments, blank lines and comment lines alike. Fixture uses your wording. Removing the comment skip turns the control red.

A blank line inside a recipe is ignored by make and the recipe keeps running, but r { exit } stops the scan on it, so rm -rf templates after a blank line is invisible to the guard. Either make the scan carry on past a blank and add a fixture for it, or keep the header disclosure and say on the thread you are keeping it deliberately. Either answer unblocks. Worth knowing the existing thread marks this one addressed and it is not addressed at HEAD, so anyone skimming reads it as done.

Took the fix. It shares a cause with the comment case, both being about what ends a recipe, and disclosing one half of a shared cause reads as a choice when it is a gap. Treating a blank line as the recipe's end now turns the control red. The CodeRabbit thread did mark this addressed when it was not; I said so there.

Drop those two branches and the suite stays green, but etcd-operator-crds falls out of the scanned set and 8 wipers become 7, because it qualifies only through ;. One rm -rf templates; fixture on case 2 closes it. IvanHunters was right about this, though the wipers >= 1 floor doesn't close it, 7 passes that too.

Fixture added. Confirmed the mechanism first: etcd-operator-crds matches only through ;, and dropping that branch leaves seven wipers, all green, so a floor on the count would not have caught it.

The update recipe in kubevirt-cdi opened with `rm -rf templates` and
then refetched one upstream manifest. The directory keeps two more
files -- the upload-proxy Ingress and TLSRoute -- that are written by
hand and never refetched, so the next CDI bump would drop upload-proxy
exposure from the chart while `make update` still exited 0. The clean
slate bought nothing either way: wget -O truncates the file it writes.

The recipe now creates the directory with `mkdir -p` and leaves the
rest of it alone, which is what kubevirt-operator moved to when it was
last bumped.

kubevirt-cdi-operator keeps its wipe. The same change there would be
for symmetry rather than for a loss, and it is not free: both its
patch calls resolve, so a hunk upstream has moved out from under
leaves templates/cdi-operator.yaml.rej, and gawk's inplace edit leaves
templates/cdi-operator.yaml.gawk.XXXXXX if it dies abnormally. Helm
renders every file under templates/, so the first fails the package
loudly and the second renders a duplicate object at exit 0. The wipe
is what takes both. Removing it wants that recipe restructured to
transform outside templates/ the way kubevirt-operator now does, which
is its own change. Until then the scan below is what watches that
package, with the limit the scan already documents: it reports a
tracked template whose stem the Makefile never mentions, so a name
that collides with something already written there, templates/
tolerations.yaml against the patches/tolerations.diff line, is
exempted. It catches the loss it was written for, not every loss.

The bats case scans every package Makefile rather than a pinned list,
so a first-party template added under a recipe that clears templates/
fails the commit that adds it instead of vanishing at the next bump.
A package's own NAME and NAMESPACE do not count as naming a file,
because a package called foo-bar would otherwise vouch for its
templates/bar.yaml with nothing writing it. A removal reaching into
another package is outside the scan's range, and the header records
the case in the tree that this leaves uncovered.

myasnikovdaniil Rebased onto current main. The header now names the removals the scan cannot see: one in a prerequisite target, behind an include or behind a recursive make, plus the packages/*/*/ depth limit. The generosity comment names both shapes, crds.yaml next to crds-experimental.yaml on gateway-api-crds and sidecar.yaml on objectstorage-controller. I fed both to the helper and both come back exempted, while a stem the Makefile never mentions is still reported.

The -p1 paragraph was already out of the body. The paragraph about what stays green now says what you measured: a wholesale overwrite goes red on the two existing suites, and only a partial hand reconciliation is silent.

Verdict

LGTM with non-blocking notes

Nothing rendered moves. The base-to-head delta under packages/system/kubevirt-cdi/ is the Makefile alone, helm unittest is 9/9, and no workflow runs make update. Everything below is about the new guard's own reach.

Two corrections to my earlier round, both against me. The patch -p1 note on kubevirt-cdi-operator was wrong: lines 13-14 are -p4 at this head, at the merge base, and on main today, and both patches dry-run clean under -p4. Anyone acting on that note would have "restored" a working recipe into a broken one. The wipers-floor half of my other note is closed too, and by a better mechanism than the counter I asked for: blank the matcher and the first @test reddens before the tree scan runs, so the suite can't pass having measured nothing.

The three guard edits blocking since 10 Sep reproduce as closed. Drop the tab-indented-comment skip and the suite reddens ("the matcher read a '#' comment inside the recipe as a removal"). Drop the blank-line skip, same ("the matcher stopped at a blank line and missed the removal after it"). The ; terminator has its own fixture now.

Findings

  • [MINOR] hack/package-update-templates.bats:117, the whitespace terminator is the one branch with no fixture
  • [NIT] hack/package-update-templates.bats:111, the target-line gate has blind spots the header never enumerates

Caveats

  • [NIT] The release note says "the CDI packages", and one of the two still deletes. kubevirt-cdi-operator keeps rm -rf templates deliberately, for the reason the body argues and #4383 tracks. Singular, or naming kubevirt-cdi, reads truer.
  • A package whose spelling drifts outside the matcher leaves the scanned set with no signal: rewrite the multus removal as rm -rf "templates" and the matched set goes from 8 to 7 with both tests green. I'm not asking for a fix. A floor on the matched count passes at 7 as happily as at 8, and pinning the number turns the scan into the pinned list the header argues against.
  • Upgrade and fresh install are both untouched: the only file differing under packages/system/kubevirt-cdi/ between base and head is the Makefile, nothing under templates/, values.yaml or Chart.yaml.
  • The guard fires on the commit that adds a first-party file under a wiping recipe, not on the make update that deletes one. Prevention, not detection.
  • The stem match is a mention, not a write. templates/crds.yaml on gateway-api-crds and templates/sidecar.yaml on objectstorage-controller would both be exempted.
  • make update still rewrites templates/cdi-cr.yaml, as the new comment says. Loud today, because two pinned fields redden the suite. The ExpandDisks gate, the toleration, uploadProxyURL and the two RBAC documents stay unpinned until #4107.

r && /^[[:space:]]*$/ { next }
r && /^[[:space:]]*#/ { next }

[MINOR] the whitespace terminator is the one branch with no fixture

Every other term of the match is pinned by a case. This one is not, and the file's own position on -fr and -r is that a branch with no live subject still gets one: nothing in the tree writes rm -rf templates && mkdir today either. A fixture spelling the removal that way closes it.

Narrow the terminator class and the suite stays green:

$ perl -pi -e 's/\(\[\[:space:\]\]\|;\|\$\)/(;|\$)/' hack/package-update-templates.bats
$ grep -n "grep -E 'rm" hack/package-update-templates.bats
117:        grep -E 'rm[[:space:]]+-(rf|fr|r)[[:space:]]+(\./)?templates(/\*?)?(;|$)' || true
$ hack/cozytest.sh hack/package-update-templates.bats
╰[00:01] ✅ Test OK: the scan reports a template file that a wiping recipe does not name
╰[00:06] ✅ Test OK: no package update recipe clears templates/ over a file it never refetches
$ git checkout -- hack/package-update-templates.bats

# recipe, this reads whichever ones are adjacent. Nothing in the tree writes
# one.

[NIT] the target-line gate has blind spots the header never enumerates

The header enumerates the command spellings the match cannot see, and closes that list with an instruction to extend it in the same edit as the pattern. The awk gate above it is a second dimension with its own two holes and no such note. next discards the target line, so the legal one-line form update: ; rm -rf templates is never searched, and update :, also legal, never arms the scan at all. Nothing in the tree writes either shape today, which is why this is a NIT: one header sentence covers it, matching a ; tail on the target line covers it properly. The third fixture is the control, so the two zeros mean the shape was missed and not that the pipeline is broken.

$ printf 'update: ; rm -rf templates\n' > /tmp/mk-a
$ printf 'update :\n\trm -rf templates\n' > /tmp/mk-b
$ printf 'update:\n\trm -rf templates\n' > /tmp/mk-c
$ for f in /tmp/mk-a /tmp/mk-b /tmp/mk-c; do awk '/^update:/ { r = 1; next } r && /^\t/ { print; next } r { exit }' "$f" | grep -cE 'rm[[:space:]]+-(rf|fr|r)[[:space:]]+(\./)?templates'; done

…stop update overwriting it (#4107)

## What this PR does

`packages/system/kubevirt-cdi` resolved its CDI version at run time from
GitHub's `releases/latest` redirect and wrote the result straight over
`templates/cdi-cr.yaml`. That file is not vendored. Upstream ships a
bare CDI object; ours adds Helm templating for `cloneStrategyOverride`,
`uploadProxyURL` and the worker-pod `podResourceRequirements`, the
`ExpandDisks` feature gate, a `CriticalAddonsOnly` toleration, and the
two RBAC documents that let a tenant clone from the golden-image
namespace. I diffed the two at v1.66.1 to write that list, so it is
complete as of that release rather than only hedged: upstream ships 283
bytes with one feature gate, two nodeSelectors and an `imagePullPolicy`,
and we are a strict superset of it. Every entry arrived by hand, so
`wget -O templates/cdi-cr.yaml` was not refreshing a vendored file, it
was overwriting a first-party one. Same loss as the `rm -rf templates`
that #4097 removes, arriving through the fetch instead of the wipe.

`update` now pins the release the object is reconciled against, and
fetches it only to confirm the bytes still hash to a digest I measured.
Nothing is written under `templates/`. At the next CDI bump whose asset
differs, that check fails, which is the point: upstream moving its own
defaults is when the local copy needs a human to reconcile it, not an
overwrite. The download is kept on a mismatch, since reconciling one
starts by reading it.

`RELEASE` is `v1.66.1`, which is the release `kubevirt-cdi-operator`
vendors, so the pin and the deployed version agree. What the platform
deploys is decided by that package, and it can move to another release
without this file changing, so this line is pointed at it by hand.
`update` then checks the two agree: it compares `RELEASE` with the
`cdi-operator` image tag that package vendors and fails naming both
versions when they differ, because otherwise its closing line would
report a release the platform may no longer run. That is a check and not
a derivation, so `RELEASE` stays a pin a human moves.

Upstream publishes no checksum for the asset, so the pin comes from a
download rather than from a published file:
`a497f90de608c1df26f9ee4095289373f17132d74a2042ca03e00c17c964f8a7`. It
catches an asset that moved under a tag that should be immutable. It is
not authenticity verification, and the comment beside it says so.

The digest command is chosen when `update` expands it, `sha256sum` when
it is on PATH and `shasum -a 256` otherwise. Which one ran here is worth
stating, because the usual claim about macOS is out of date: this
machine picked `sha256sum`, and that binary is `/sbin/sha256sum`, a
native Darwin one rather than GNU coreutils. It reports `sha256sum
(Darwin) 1.0` and prints the same `<digest> <path>` format.

The package already had a `test:` target, from `0418577f5`, so what it
gains here is the `.PHONY` line that commit did not add.
`hack/package.mk` declares only the nine targets it defines itself, so
without it a file or directory named `test` or `update` beside the
Makefile makes make consider that target up to date and skip the recipe
in silence. The new suite pins the `ExpandDisks` gate, the toleration,
`podResourceRequirements`, the `uploadProxyURL` override and the clone
RBAC, and renders the upload-proxy Ingress and TLSRoute, each under the
`gateway-enabled` value that selects it. The clone-strategy override is
pinned by `tests/clone_strategy_test.yaml`, which is already on `main`.

One consequence of the pin move is a claim rather than a number, so it
gets its own line. Upstream carried `WebhookPvcRendering` from v1.63.0
through v1.65.0 and dropped it by v1.66.0; the local object never
carried it, so the divergence ran both ways across those three releases
and one way since. The comment says to re-derive the delta at each bump
instead of trusting it, because that was a fact about a span of releases
and not about CDI.

`packages/system/kubevirt-cdi/Makefile` carried two identical `test:`
targets, one from `0418577f5` and one appended by a later merge, so make
printed `overriding commands for target 'test'` on every invocation in
the package. The second sat inside the span this recipe rewrites, so it
goes with the rewrite rather than being re-authored into it. The comment
kept above it is the reason a reader should not add another. Closes
#4157.

### Scope

An earlier revision also pinned and tested `kubevirt-cdi-operator`.
#3920 has since landed the two real bugs in that recipe, the patch strip
level and `patches/tolerations.diff`, so that half is dropped here
rather than merged twice. Pinning and testing the operator package is
#4190.

Named improvements left alone, so they read as choices.

- The two upload-proxy tests each render their route under the
`gateway-enabled` value that selects it and neither asserts the other is
absent; the templates already settle that with `ne "true"` and `eq
"true"` on the same variable, and `tests/standalone_render_test.yaml`
already asserts each route absent under the values that select the
other. So the package does cover it; these two cases just do not, and a
third copy would not add anything.
- The CDI object carries no version string for a rendered-output
assertion, so `RELEASE` is checked by `make update` rather than by `make
test`.
- Neither route case pins the backend service port, 443 in both
templates; that is outside what the suite claims.
- The template-loss guard still counts `cdi-cr.yaml` as named, because
the download line in `update` mentions the stem, so re-adding a wipe
here would have it report two files instead of three; the guard's header
already says a mention is not proof of a write, and the case needs a
wipe this recipe no longer has.
- The suite pins the local additions by design, and most of the
upstream-derived half is pinned by nothing: `imagePullPolicy` and the
two `nodeSelector` blocks have no assertion anywhere under `tests/`.
`HonorWaitForFirstConsumer` is the exception and only as a side effect:
`featureGates` is pinned whole, so that gate rides along with
`ExpandDisks`. The rest are maintained by the same hand reconciliation
the pin forces whenever the upstream asset changes, so a carry-over that
drops one of them is green. Three asserts would close what is left.
- One more, remote enough to name rather than code around: if the digest
tool is missing entirely, `$$actual` comes out empty, the comparison
against `CR_SHA256` fails, and the error text diagnoses a moved asset
when the real cause is a machine with neither `sha256sum` nor `shasum`.
Busybox ships the first and macOS ships the second, so nobody has hit
it. Closing it means an executable line, which would then owe mutation
coverage of its own, and that is disproportionate to a case with no
known instance. The mechanism is written here so the next reader does
not have to re-derive it from an error message that points the wrong
way.
- Separately, the per-package `.PHONY` gap this Makefile's own line
argues against is not specific to this package: most package Makefiles
do not declare their own `test:` or `update:` phony, and #4214 tracks
that.
- A key that does not exist yet is not held either: every item in the
delta is pinned whole, but a NEW key appearing at `spec` or
`spec.config` level passes unnoticed, and such a key can change
behaviour rather than sit inert. I confirmed it on a copy extracted from
this commit, appending `spec.config.filesystemOverhead.global: "0.99"`
and getting a green suite. That is the shape to recognise at the next
bump: not a changed value, which is caught, but a new sibling key beside
the ones we pin.
- And `spec.config.podResourceRequirements` is now pinned whole here and
by four leaves in `tests/importer-resources_test.yaml`: the whole-map
form is the stronger one and the leaves are a subset of it, so changing
the default takes two edits and the second failure reads as a surprise
until you know why both exist.
- If the operator's image reference ever gains a digest
(`:v1.66.1@sha256:...`), `${deployed##*:}` takes the digest's hex
instead of the tag, and `update` fails with a loud false mismatch rather
than passing silently.
- Deriving `RELEASE` with `$(shell ...)` from the sibling manifest was
suggested and declined on merits: a derived value is not a pin, the
point is that a human chooses which CDI release this object is
reconciled against, and computing it from whatever the neighbour last
vendored hides that choice from the diff.

The operator comparison lives in `update` and not in `test:`, even
though `kubevirt-operator` ties its own manifest to the tree from
`test:`. A mismatch calls for a hand reconciliation, and `update` is the
recipe that asks for one; it is also where the success line that would
otherwise name the wrong release is printed. I checked it on a copy
extracted from this commit. With the operator's image tag moved to
v1.67.0, `make update` exits 2 and names both versions. With the tags
equal it passes. With the check's `exit 1` removed, the moved tag passes
again, so the red comes from the check.

Worth knowing when reading the mismatch path: `kubevirt-operator`
deletes its download on a hash mismatch and this package keeps it. That
is deliberate here, since reconciling a moved asset starts by reading
it, but the two packages do read oppositely and neither file says so.

### Base and ordering

This stacks on #4097 and should land after it. Both edit
`packages/system/kubevirt-cdi/Makefile`, and this change builds directly
on that one's edit to the same recipe, so it is based on the head of
`fix/cdi-update-keeps-local-templates` rather than on `main`. GitHub
computes mergeability against the PR's base branch, which here is that
stack branch and not `main`. Both branches are rebased onto current
`main`, which has not touched these paths since the previous merge-base.


### Screenshots

No UI changes.

### Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map against the diff. Two entries come close and
neither fires.

The website triggers on developer tooling and package Makefiles, but
`content/en/docs/next/development.md` documents `make update` only as
"Update Helm chart and versions from the upstream source", which still
holds, and its worked example is cilium, which this does not touch. Its
`make test` line refers to the e2e sandbox in `packages/core/testing`,
not per-package unit tests.

`ccp` triggers on `hack/` layout and on what a make target does, and
nothing under `hack/` is touched. Its `package-bump` skill already
assumes a package's `update` recipe hardcodes the upstream version
instead of resolving it at run time, and names cilium, kafka-operator,
opensearch-operator and postgres-operator as examples. `kubevirt-cdi`
was one of those counterexamples and now is not. Pinning
`kubevirt-cdi-operator` the same way is #4190 and out of scope here. The
skill handles vendored Helm charts, in-repo image builds and version
enums, and a raw manifest download is none of those. Everything else in
the map needs an app, a schema, an installer value, a variant or a
release asset.

### Release note

```release-note
fix(cdi): `make update` in kubevirt-cdi no longer overwrites the hand-maintained CDI object. It pins the CDI release that object is reconciled against instead of resolving GitHub's releases/latest at run time, and verifies the fetched asset against a pinned sha256 without writing under templates/.

kubevirt-cdi: make update deletes the first-party uploadproxy templates it never refetches
