feat(kubernetes): boot tenant worker disks from a shared golden Talos image (CDI clone) - #4171

NOT LGTM. Three blockers: two are text the repo already has a rule for, one is a guard in new code that misses the transition it exists to catch. I could not break the clone path itself.

Business context: every tenant worker VM streams the same Talos raw image from the Image Factory over HTTP, once per worker. This adds an opt-in catalog holding one golden per (schematicID, version) in cozy-public, and a per-pool osImage selector that boots a worker from a CDI storage-layer clone of it.

On CI first, since it is not yours. The only failing job in run 34346366626 is Unit & controller tests, and it is the flake tracked as #4178. The log has hack/check-rd-presets.sh: line 39: printf: write error: Broken pipe immediately followed by FAIL: packages/system/rabbitmq-rd/cozyrds/rabbitmq.yaml resourcesPreset enum missing: s1.xlarge, and s1.xlarge is in that file. This branch touches neither rabbitmq-rd nor the script. E2E (in-tree) reports SKIPPED because it gates on that job, so the red E2E Tests is a cascade and not a suite result. Worth stating plainly: no end-to-end suite has run against this branch. I reviewed the charts and the unit suites instead, green here on e0b99c19: 127 kubernetes-nodes cases, 14 catalog cases, 8 bats cases, render snapshot unchanged.

Blockers

B1: Commit messages are review-round bookkeeping

File: commits 465a7267, d1a4a26d, 7a293ca7, fd019a77, f6bf0d49

Issue: docs/agents/contributing.md:90 makes review-iteration vocabulary a blocker on its own. Four subjects are built out of it: close IvanHunters' fourth review round, close two findings from the branch review, close five findings from the cross-check, close the review findings on the worker image source. A fifth body opens Second review pass, all four are prose that describes something the code beside it does not do. One of them names a reviewer.

Evidence: subjects and body lines quoted verbatim from gh api repos/cozystack/cozystack/pulls/4171/commits at head e0b99c19. contributing.md:90 lists "review-iteration or planning vocabulary" among the things decided by the text alone.

Impact: git log outlives this thread. close IvanHunters' fourth review round tells a reader in a year that a review happened, not what changed, and the round numbering means nothing once the branch is squashed.

Fix: squash each round commit into the one it corrects and reword to the change at rest. The material is already written: fd019a77 explains the md0 / md0-gpu prefix collision, bf055e99 explains why a cloned pool has to read its class from its own PVC. Those are the messages. The round numbering around them is what goes.

B2: Shipped comments carry the review thread that produced them

File: packages/apps/kubernetes-nodes/templates/nodegroup.yaml:149, :235, :273, :302; packages/system/kubernetes-worker-image/templates/dv.yaml:8, :21, :45; packages/extra/computeplane/templates/cluster.yaml:210, plus sites in _helpers.tpl, the five new test suites and hack/check-worker-image-catalog-defaults.bats

Issue: contributing.md:92 blocks a comment whose content is the review thread or a ticket. This branch adds 22 such lines across 12 files: Reviewed as [MINOR] on cozystack/cozystack#3294, Reviewed as [MAJOR] ..., [NIT] ..., Raised across two review rounds on ..., the cross-check on cozystack/cozystack#3294.

Evidence: git diff origin/main...e0b99c19 | grep -c '^+.*cozystack/cozystack#3294' gives 22, and grep -rl over packages/ and hack/ gives 12 files.

Impact: the severity tags come from a thread on a PR that is closed and was never merged. A reader of the template cannot resolve [MAJOR] against anything, and the tag outlives the reason the comment is worth keeping.

Fix: drop the citation sentence, keep the rest. Almost all of these comments state a real constraint just before the citation. dv.yaml:39-47 explains why a DataVolume spec cannot be patched in place, which is the whole value of that comment; the #3294 clause adds nothing a later reader can use. The #3231 references in the same files are issues and stay legible.

B3: The catalog immutability guard misses the one class transition it can hit

File: packages/system/kubernetes-worker-image/templates/dv.yaml:56

Issue: {{- if and $liveStorageClass (ne $liveStorageClass ($storageClass | toString)) }} skips the comparison whenever the live golden declares no storageClassName. A golden this chart created with storageClass: "" is exactly that object, because line 38 resolves the class and the DataVolume renders it under {{- with $storageClass }}. Set an explicit class afterwards and the guard stays quiet, Helm patches spec.storage.storageClassName onto the existing DataVolume, and the API server rejects it. That is the opaque failure this guard exists to turn into a message.

Evidence: Go templates treat "" as falsy, so and short-circuits before the inequality runs. The suite pins the behaviour rather than missing it: tests/dv_test.yaml:232 renders default values (storageClass: replicated) against a live golden with no storageClassName and asserts success. The other two comparisons are not exposed this way, since source.http.url and spec.storage.resources.requests.storage are rendered unconditionally and are never absent on a chart-created golden. The pool side already assumes classless goldens exist: nodegroup.yaml:213-227 falls back to the bound PVC precisely because a golden that declares no class is a real state.

Impact: the catalog HelmRelease fails on the next upgrade with an API-server rejection instead of the message at dv.yaml:58, and stays failed until someone works out that reverting the value is the way back.

Fix: compare when either side is non-empty instead of gating on the live value. The presence terms exist to stop a false drift on a golden whose spec is silent, per 1721917e. That argument holds for the URL and the size, which this chart always writes. For the class the silence is a value this chart itself produces. Inverting dv_test.yaml:232 plus one explicit-to-empty case would pin both directions.

Non-blocking

1. packages/apps/kubernetes-nodes/templates/talos-reconcile-job.yaml:387: {{- $talosVersion := $.Values.talos.version }} is dead now. Line 463 sets the Job context from $grpVersion and nothing else reads the variable.
2. A Talos default bump has an ordering window on a builtin pool that pins no version. The pool resolves talos-worker-<schematic>-<new version> from the new chart default, the catalog has not created that golden yet, and the absence guard fails the render because $poolCloned is false, since the existing disks annotate the old golden. It recovers on its own, app HelmReleases run RetryOnFailure with no remediation cap, but the pool cannot provision until the catalog catches up and values.yaml does not say so where someone planning an upgrade would look.
3. osImage.builtin.schematicID and .version are free-text with no x-cozystack-options source, so the dashboard cannot offer the catalog entries that are the only valid values. imageProvider in pkg/registry/core/option/providers.go:336 filters on the vm-default-images- prefix, so the goldens are invisible to it by construction.

myasnikovdaniil NOT LGTM, but the three blockers from my last review are all closed. I checked each one by breaking the fix and watching a named test go red. Two new ones take their place: the frozen-StorageClass guard passes on a pool whose next worker disk will take the cross-class copy that guard exists to prevent, and the PR body lands in git log verbatim carrying the vocabulary the commits were just cleaned of.

An existing pool that does not adopt osImage sees nothing. I rendered the chart at cd91627c and at 71a1c5ec with the same values and diffed the object sets: byte-identical, with the KubevirtMachineTemplate named kubernetes-myk8s-md0-a6ac3e on both sides, and the stored render snapshot untouched by this PR and still matching at head. Nothing re-images.

One thing does change for every pool, including one that never touches osImage. A pool carrying talos.version: v1.13, talos.schematicID: AbC123 or talos.imageFactoryURL: "" renders at base and hard-fails at head. None of those ever produced a working image, an empty factory URL renders a schemeless /image/... at base, so this is failing earlier rather than a regression. But such a pool's HelmRelease flips to InstallFailed on upgrade, and that belongs in the upgrade section of the description rather than only in the live-cluster notes.

Blockers

B1: the frozen-class guard passes while the pool's next disk takes the copy it prevents

File: packages/apps/kubernetes-nodes/templates/nodegroup.yaml:240 with :356

Issue: for a pool at storageClass: "" that has already cloned, line 240 substitutes the class of an existing bound PVC for the pool side of the comparison, so replicated is compared against the golden's replicated and the guard passes. Line 356 renders storageClassName only under {{- with .group.storageClass | default $.Values.storageClass }}. With both empty the disk template omits the field, so the next worker binds on whatever the cluster default is today. The guard reads the old class and the disk gets the new one.

Evidence: I added two assertions to tests/worker_image_frozen_storageclass_test.yaml, ran them, and reverted. On renders a cloned pool at empty storageClass after the cluster default moved, notExists on dataVolumeTemplates[0].spec.storage.storageClassName passes. That fixture is deliberately mid-swap, with the default on fast-nvme while the golden and the pool's disks sit on replicated. As a positive control the same path on prefers the pool's declared class over its own cloned disk's PVC equals local, so the assertion discriminates instead of passing on an absent document.

Impact: CDI takes the storage-layer path only when source and target share a class, so the pool's next worker gets a host-assisted copy over the pod network. That is the transfer osImage.builtin exists to remove, it happens silently, and values.schema.json documents storageClass: "" as supported. Your comment at :237 rejects gating on $poolCloned because it "would spare the same pool and then let its next worker take the host-assisted copy in silence". The PVC substitution has that same effect.

Fix: compare the pool side against the class the next disk will actually bind on, or render the resolved class into the disk template so the disk keeps the frozen one. The second closes the drift as well as the guard, at the cost of changing the KMT hash for pools sitting at an empty class, which is one roll those pools would take.

B2: the PR body becomes the merge commit message and carries review-round vocabulary

File: PR body

Issue: this repository allows only merge commits, with merge_commit_title: PR_TITLE and merge_commit_message: PR_BODY, so the description lands in git log word for word. docs/agents/contributing.md makes review-iteration or planning vocabulary in a commit message blocking on the text alone. The whole "Where this PR came from" section is that, and so are Chart and API half is byte-for-byte what #3294 got approved, Carried over from #3294 and not re-run, which was the fix in that round, and This is those 12 commits replayed onto main with ghcr commit dropped. One line names a reviewer.

Evidence: gh api repos/cozystack/cozystack --jq '{allow_merge_commit, merge_commit_message}' returns true and PR_BODY. None of the last 25 merge commits on main carries any of this vocabulary, and their bodies run to about a hundred lines each, so the norm is not an artifact of short descriptions.

Impact: permanent, and unfixable after merge, in the history of every clone.

Fix: rewrite the body to describe the change at rest, the way the commit message already does. I scoped this to the commits last time and you closed it there: the commit is single, signed off, with one Assisted-by: LLM and no model name or session link. This is the same rule at the other place the text lands.

Closed from my last review

The catalog guard now compares the class unconditionally. Restoring the presence gate reddens exactly one case, rejects setting a class on an existing golden that declares none, and inverting ne to eq reddens five by name, so both directions are pinned rather than asserted. All 22 review-thread citations are gone from the diff, and the matches left in the tree sit only in files this PR does not touch. A private cluster name went with them. The dead $talosVersion is gone and the Talos-bump ordering window is documented in the catalog's values.yaml.

Isolation holds, and this PR does not widen it. It adds no RBAC at all: no file matching rbac|role appears in the diff and packages/system/kubevirt-cdi/ is untouched. The cross-namespace clone rides the pre-existing cdi-clone-dv RoleBinding in cozy-public, and the only other binding into that namespace is read-only, so a tenant cannot create, update or delete a DataVolume or PVC there. One tenant cannot alter the source another clones from. schematicID and version are tenant-supplied and do steer a lookup in cozy-public, but the literal talos-worker- prefix plus the two patterns bound it to objects the operator created. I could not get a path separator or a leading dot through either one. ComputePlane drops osImage by allowlist at cluster.yaml:211.

Non-blocking

1. In tests/worker_image_two_default_classes_test.yaml, the case names the active default in the mismatch message never reaches the diagnostic it is named for. It asserts requested golden DataVolume ... not found, because talos-worker-elsewhere-v1.0.0 is absent and the render stops at the missing-golden guard. Inverting that guard turns this case red, which is how I found it. The behaviour it claims is genuinely pinned, by the sibling case above it: making the resolver concatenate both defaults reddens resolves an empty pool storageClass to the most recently created default and nothing else. So the name overstates the assertion rather than leaving a hole. The bot raised this one and it is still open.
2. osImage.builtin.schematicID and .version still carry no x-cozystack-options, so the dashboard cannot offer the catalog entries that are the only valid values.

CI

pre-commit, Unit & controller tests, Commit trailers, CodeQL and every build job are green on 71a1c5ec, run 35703080496, attempt 1. E2E Tests is red and I pulled the report myself: 56 cases, one failure, redis-2-backup-roundtrip, on ($error == null) and contains($stderr, 'To-copy restore verified'). That is the known defect in the test itself, where the helper sends stderr to /dev/null and the verify step reads once with no guard, so a read that never reached a master looks the same as a missing key. Nothing else failed, and both kubernetes-latest and kubernetes-previous passed. It is not attributable to this PR and it is not why the verdict is what it is.

Locally on 71a1c5ec: 127 kubernetes-nodes cases with 12 snapshots, 16 catalog cases, 190 platform cases, 5 catalog-drift bats, 3 heredoc bats, and go build plus go vet clean on the API module. I did not run the full make unit-tests.

myasnikovdaniil NOT LGTM, but only on text now. The data-path blocker is closed, and a pool that does not use osImage sees no change on upgrade. What is left is one clause in a test comment and two sentences that would be false once they land in git log. An amend and a body edit fix all of it, no code change needed.

The base did not move: 71a1c5ec and 4fd8e7ba both sit on cd91627c. The rework is only in packages/apps/kubernetes-nodes: the nodegroup template, two test files, and the storageClass description in values, schema, README, types.go and the CRD.

Closed: the guard and the disk now read one class

The pool's class is resolved once, into $cloneWorkerSC, and both the cross-class guard and the disk template read it. I checked this on your own fixture in worker_image_frozen_storageclass_test.yaml. There the pool is at storageClass: "", its disk's PVC is bound on replicated, and the default has moved to fast-nvme. The KMT now carries storageClassName: replicated.

Then I reverted nodegroup.yaml:384 to the old with .group.storageClass | default $.Values.storageClass and predicted three reds before running: the two builtin-disk cases in that file, and resolves an empty pool storageClass to the most recently created default in the two-defaults file. Exactly those three went red, 126 passed. A second mutation that skips the PVC read makes only renders a cloned pool at empty storageClass after the cluster default moved error, on the cross-class message. So the frozen read and the rendering are pinned separately.

For existing pools, I rendered the chart from origin/main and from this head, with storageClass: "" and with replicated, and diffed the object sets. It is 18 objects on each side, none differ, and the KMT names match (kubernetes-myk8s-md0-e51816 and kubernetes-myk8s-md0-2d362e). The HTTP path still omits the field when both levels are empty, and leaves storageClassName out on the HTTP path at an empty storageClass pins that. A builtin pool at an empty class does get a new KMT hash from this change, but no builtin pool exists before this PR, so nothing rolls on upgrade.

Closed: review vocabulary in the PR body

The "Where this PR came from" section and the round and #3294 references are gone.

Blockers

B1: a test comment records the test's own history

File: packages/apps/kubernetes-nodes/tests/worker_image_two_default_classes_test.yaml:107

Issue: the comment ends with "and was named for a message it never reaches". That clause is about what the test used to be called. docs/agents/contributing.md lists a comment that logs a change as blocking by itself. The rename is right, only the clause has to go.

Fix: drop the clause. The sentence before it already says what the case holds.

Two new comments use the same past tense: the one above the new assert at worker_image_frozen_storageclass_test.yaml:190 ("Leaving the field out here passed the guard and then bound the next disk on fast-nvme") and nodegroup.yaml:184 ("the two disagreeing is how a pool ... passed the comparison"). Those read as the reason, so they don't block. Present tense says the same without the history, something like "omitting the field lets the next disk bind on ...".

B2: two statements that would be false in git log

File: commit 4fd8e7ba and the PR body

Issue:

1. The commit body opens by saying the per-worker Factory fetch is "where the kubernetes-* e2e node-join flake (#3231) comes from". #3231 is about MachineDeployment.replicas hardcoded to 2 and OIDC e2e churning worker DRBD, a different mechanism. Your own PR body says the node-join stall from #3513 tracks the host kvm_amd vgif flag rather than registry egress. I missed this sentence last time.
2. The Testing section of the body says "E2E Tests is red on one case, redis-2-backup-roundtrip". On this head E2E Tests is green. The body becomes the merge commit message, so that line would be wrong from the moment it lands.

Fix: drop the causal clause and the issue number from the commit's first paragraph. The fanout argument stands without them. In the body, replace the E2E paragraph with what ran on the final head.

A smaller one in the same section: "Reverting worker disk to omit its resolved class reddens two cases". I get three, the third is in the two-defaults file.

Non-blocking

1. A builtin pool at storageClass: "" that moves to another golden after the default moved is refused. $poolDiskName is set only from disks annotated with the current golden. So a pool switching from talos-worker-aaa-v1.13.6 to talos-worker-fresh-v1.13.6 in the frozen-class fixture finds no disk, resolves to fast-nvme, and fails against a golden on replicated, even though its existing disks and both goldens are on replicated. I reproduced it by adding that case to the fixture. It fails loudly, but the way out the message offers puts new workers on fast-nvme next to old ones on replicated. Matching the pool's own disk by the pool annotation alone would keep the class the pool already has.
2. CodeRabbit asks for cdi.kubevirt.io/storage.deleteAfterCompletion: "false" on the worker disk. That doesn't apply here. The platform ships CDI v1.66.1, the vendored CRD describes dataVolumeTTLSeconds as "Deprecated: Removed in v1.62", and cdi-cr.yaml sets no TTL. Even with GC, losing the worker DataVolumes makes the pool resolve to today's default, and the guard then refuses loudly instead of drifting.
3. Still open from last time: osImage.builtin.schematicID and .version have no x-cozystack-options.

CI

Everything is green on 4fd8e7ba. Run 35831830568, attempt 1, created 07:27:47Z, carries Unit & controller tests and E2E (in-tree), and E2E Tests reported success at 10:13Z. pre-commit and Codegen Drift Check are green too. Locally: 129 kubernetes-nodes cases with 12 snapshots, 16 catalog, 190 platform, 12 computeplane, and 8 bats in the two guard files, all passing.

myasnikovdaniil Only prose was left, so I finished it on your branch myself. The two-defaults test comment lost its history clause, the commit message lost the #3231 clause, and the body now has the right E2E result and case count. Code is the same as in 4fd8e7b, and the kubernetes-nodes suite passes on the new commit, 129 tests and 12 snapshots. I added my sign-off to the commit.
