Description

A round of upgrades, plus the fix for the lint failure on the 0.52.0 release PR (#414).

The lint failure was not Dependabot

#410 (prometheus/common) was green on every check. The red Lint is on release PR #414, from lint-metric-names:

gitopsreverser_git_queue_drops_total
    CHANGELOG.md:13:* **git:** gitopsreverser_git_queue_drops_total is no longer emitted; ...

release-please copies each BREAKING CHANGE footer into CHANGELOG.md verbatim, and the footer of the git_queue_drops_total → git_queue_refusals_total rename (#413) names the old metric. The changelog is history, so hack/metricnames.sh now leaves it out, the same way it already leaves out docs/UPGRADING.md. Verified against #414's actual CHANGELOG.md: metric names OK: 54 referenced, all registered. #414 needs a rebase or re-run after this merges.

Go modules

Module From To
go.opentelemetry.io/otel (+ metric, sdk/metric) v1.46.0 v1.47.0
go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus v0.68.0 v0.69.0
sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime v0.25.1 v0.25.2
sigs.k8s.io/kustomize/api, kyaml v0.21.1 v0.21.2
github.com/go-git/go-git/v6 v6.0.0-alpha.5 v6.0.0-beta.1
github.com/go-git/go-billy/v6 v6.0.0-alpha.2 v6.0.0-beta.1

go-git beta.1 is the one to watch. Unit tests cannot reach every v6 behavior: they missed the known_hosts and gpgSign environment reads, and only e2e caught those. So the e2e legs are what prove this bump. Relevant upstream changes:

  • dumb-HTTP transport removed (we only speak smart HTTP and SSH)
  • ref names hardened
  • receive-pack rejects refs to missing objects
  • git-style boolean config parsing

kustomize api v0.21.2 made two changes we had copied:

  • Invalid image-name regex. It no longer panics on an images: entry whose name is not a valid regular expression; the name now matches nothing. We still refuse such a folder before the build: Flux's kustomize-controller v1.9.6 pins api v0.21.1, so the folder fails to build in production anyway. TestBuild_PanicBecomesAnError lost its only panic source with the upstream fix, so it now drives the recover net with a filesystem that panics on read.
  • Digest suffix. The image-name pattern now takes any OCI digest algorithm, not only sha256. imageNamePattern mirrors upstream, so it follows; the dye matcher now matches e.g. @sha512: digests the way kustomize does.

Kubernetes 1.37 end-to-end

k3s now has a stable 1.37 (v1.37.1+k3s1 is the latest channel). #337 held e2e on 1.36 only for lack of one. The e2e cluster moves to rancher/k3s:v1.37.1-k3s1, and the README states a single version again. Recorded measurements against 1.36 (mutation-lab corpus, docs/facts) keep their numbers.

Devcontainer tooling

kubectl v1.37.1, kustomize 5.8.2, golangci-lint v2.14.0, flux 2.9.6, flux-operator 0.61.0, task v3.54.0, markdownlint-cli2 0.23.3, vale 3.24.0, trivy 0.75.0, setup-envtest v0.25.2. setup-envtest has to match controller-runtime, and lint-toolchain-pins enforces it. Everything else that has a pin was already current: Go 1.27.1, helm, k3d, kubebuilder, actionlint, hadolint, valkey, cosign, oras, controller-gen, ginkgo, goimports, scc.

e2e: one agent, workloads off the restarting server

On 1.37.1 the first CI run lost 3 legs at bring-up. The audit webhook setup restarts the k3d server container, and CI ran single-node, so every pod came back at once on the restarted node. The manager sometimes came up with cluster DNS dead (lookup valkey.valkey-e2e.svc.cluster.local: i/o timeout) and never went Ready: 4 of 7 restarts on 1.37.1, one recorded case on 1.36.4. Re-runs passed for full-core and full-manager, so it is intermittent. The investigation is in docs/ci/k3s-1.37-dns-after-node-restart.md.

e2e clusters now run one server and one agent, local and CI, with the server tainted node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane:NoSchedule. The manager, Valkey and Gitea ride through the restart on the agent; only the control plane bounces. A full local prepare-e2e on 1.37.1 put every workload on the agent, CoreDNS included, and the manager kept running through the restart with 0 restarts. The local default drops from 3 agents to 1. The failure dump also gains nodes, kube-system pods, CoreDNS logs and an nslookup from the manager's node.

A flake fixed on the way

TestWindowTimers_ContinuousActivityStopsAtTheTargetsMaxDuration (new in #413) raced a 20ms maxDuration against the write that opened the window. The deadline is stamped before the waiting CommitRequests are read, and under a loaded task test that took over 20ms. It failed once in the full suite and passed 20/20 alone. The test now rewinds the deadline instead of sleeping past it.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Test coverage improvement

Testing

  • task fmt, task generate, task manifests, task vet: clean
  • task lint passes, run with golangci-lint v2.14.0, vale 3.24.0 and markdownlint-cli2 0.23.3 installed locally, so it matches the image this PR builds
  • task test passes
  • task test-e2e: not run locally; the CI legs carry it (go-git beta.1 and k3s 1.37 are what they prove)

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updates

    • Kubernetes 1.37 is now used for end-to-end testing, alongside API-level testing.
    • End-to-end test clusters use an updated Kubernetes image and default to one worker node. When a worker is configured, workloads stay off the control-plane node.
    • The documented Flux end-to-end version and several tools and supporting components have been updated.
    • End-to-end tests are organized into separate functional and quickstart test groups.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Image references with digest algorithms beyond sha256 are now recognized during manifest analysis.

release-please copies each BREAKING CHANGE footer into CHANGELOG.md verbatim,
and the footer of the git_queue_drops_total -> git_queue_refusals_total rename
names the old metric. So the 0.52.0 release PR failed lint-metric-names on a
line nobody on main wrote. The changelog is history, the same as UPGRADING.md,
which was already exempt for exactly this reason.

…eta.1

- go.opentelemetry.io/otel v1.46.0 -> v1.47.0 (exporters/prometheus v0.69.0)
- sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime v0.25.1 -> v0.25.2
- sigs.k8s.io/kustomize/api, kyaml v0.21.1 -> v0.21.2
- github.com/go-git/go-git/v6, go-billy/v6 alpha.5/alpha.2 -> beta.1

kustomize api v0.21.2 stops panicking on an images: entry whose name is not a
valid regular expression; it now treats the name as matching nothing. It also
widens the digest suffix of the image-name pattern from sha256 to the OCI
digest grammar. imageNamePattern mirrors that pattern, so it follows.

The pre-build refusal of an invalid image name stays. Flux's
kustomize-controller (v1.9.6) still pins api v0.21.1, so the folder fails to
build in production, and an entry that silently matches nothing is never
what its author meant. TestBuild_PanicBecomesAnError lost its only panic
source with the upstream fix. It now drives the net with a filesystem that
panics on read, which no longer depends on a kustomize bug staying unfixed.

TestWindowTimers_ContinuousActivityStopsAtTheTargetsMaxDuration opened a
window with a 20ms maxDuration and asserted it was still open after the first
write. The deadline is stamped when the window opens, before the waiting
CommitRequests are read. Under a loaded `task test` run that step took longer
than 20ms, so the window closed on its first write and the assertion failed
(seen once locally; 20/20 green in isolation). The test now opens with an
hour, checks the window took it, and moves maxAt into the past before the
second write.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
k3s now ships a stable 1.37 (v1.37.1+k3s1 is the `latest` channel), so the
e2e cluster moves off 1.36 and both test levels run on 1.37. The README
states one version again, and test/e2e/cluster/README.md stops naming the
v1.36.1 image it had drifted from. Recorded measurements against 1.36 (the
mutation-lab corpus, docs/facts) keep their numbers, because there the
number is the observation.

Devcontainer tools: kubectl v1.37.1, kustomize 5.8.2, golangci-lint v2.14.0,
flux 2.9.6, flux-operator 0.61.0, task v3.54.0, markdownlint-cli2 0.23.3,
vale 3.24.0, trivy 0.75.0, and setup-envtest v0.25.2 to match
controller-runtime (lint-toolchain-pins). golangci-lint 2.14.0, vale 3.24.0
and markdownlint-cli2 0.23.3 were run against the tree before the bump and
report nothing new.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change updates the Kubernetes end-to-end cluster setup and CI lanes, adds DNS diagnostics for a webhook-related node restart, and updates manifest image matching, tool and dependency versions, and supporting tests and documentation.

Changes

Kubernetes end-to-end cluster setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cluster defaults and scheduling
test/e2e/cluster/start-cluster.sh, test/e2e/cluster/README.md
The default k3s image changes to 1.37.1. Clusters default to one agent, and the server receives a NoSchedule taint when agents are present. The README documents these settings and the single-node option.
CI test lanes and cluster configuration
.github/workflows/ci.yml, README.md
The CI workflow adds a separate image-refresh lane and removes explicit agent-count settings from the listed lanes and containers. The README states that API-level and end-to-end tests use Kubernetes 1.37.
Webhook restart DNS diagnostics
hack/e2e/inject-webhook-tls.sh, docs/ci/k3s-1.37-dns-after-node-restart.md
On manager rollout failure, the script gathers cluster and DNS diagnostics before returning failure. The report records observed failures, local test outcomes, and the documented mitigation and diagnostics.

Manifest image matching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Digest matching and panic handling
internal/manifestanalyzer/kustomize_render.go, internal/manifestanalyzer/kustomize_render_hostile_test.go
The image-name pattern accepts additional digest algorithm names. Comments describe Kustomize behavior across versions, and the panic-recovery test triggers panic conversion through a filesystem panic during build.

Tooling and supporting updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Development tools and dependencies
.devcontainer/Dockerfile, go.mod, docs/bi-directional.md
Pinned development tools and Go dependencies are updated. The setup-envtest and documented Flux e2e versions also change.
Metric scanning and timer test
hack/metricnames.sh, internal/git/commit_window_timers_test.go
The metric scan excludes CHANGELOG.md and targets docs/UPGRADING.md. The timer test checks the window duration and moves its deadline into the past before the next write.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5944c

The report’s outdated cluster descriptions may lead readers to reproduce a different setup than the one currently used. This is a localized documentation issue; merging is possible with owner awareness.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5944c

The assessed changes are confined to end-to-end test infrastructure. No expansion of production access or weakening of audit readiness checks was identified. Cluster reuse and runtime recovery remain only partially validated.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The assessed changes affect the E2E cluster and its Docker-backed runner environment. Docker socket access, host networking, and privileged host-limit adjustment already existed; the inspected changes do not add production callers, credentials, or additional execution privileges.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — K3D_AGENT_COUNT remains an existing operator-controlled environment setting, while CI removes explicit forwarding of that setting. Cluster creation uses an argument array, and the new conditional argument imposes a scheduling constraint rather than granting Kubernetes authority.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Audit-enabled rollout still stops on failed API recovery, certificate readiness, manager rollout, or audit warmup. The best-effort DNS diagnostics preserve that failure outcome. Provisioning interruption and concurrent starts remain nontransactional inherited limitations, with explicit cleanup available.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Validate the intended image, topology, and server taint when reusing a cluster before relying on restart isolation for audit-bootstrap testing. This would strengthen configuration provenance and failure containment, rather than remedy a verified security vulnerability.

…g server

The audit webhook setup restarts the k3d server container so kube-apiserver
loads the final webhook config. CI ran every leg single-node, so that
restart brought every pod back at once on a freshly restarted node, and
the manager sometimes came up with cluster DNS dead ("lookup
valkey.valkey-e2e.svc.cluster.local: i/o timeout"). It then stayed 0/1
until the rollout timed out and zero specs ran. On k3s 1.37.1 that hit 4
of 7 restarts; on 1.36.4 it had been seen once.

e2e clusters now run one server and one agent, local and CI alike, with
the server tainted node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane:NoSchedule. The
manager, Valkey and Gitea run on the agent and ride through the restart
untouched; only the control plane bounces. k3s's own add-ons (CoreDNS,
metrics-server, local-path) tolerate the taint. Checked with a full local
prepare-e2e on 1.37.1: every workload landed on the agent, CoreDNS
included, and the manager pod kept running through the restart (0
restarts) and went straight to audit warm-up.

The local default drops from three agents to one. The three dated from
spreading CPU-heavy pods, but all k3d nodes share the host CPU, so they
bought memory use and startup time rather than capacity. CI drops its
per-leg `k3d_agent_count: "0"` and takes the script default. K3D_AGENT_COUNT=0
still builds a single-node cluster, untainted, since a tainted lone node
would schedule nothing.

When the manager does not recover, the failure dump now also shows nodes,
kube-system pods, CoreDNS logs, and an nslookup from a fresh pod on the
manager's node. That separates CoreDNS being down from pod networking
being broken. The probe runs in kube-system because the manager's namespace
enforces the restricted PodSecurity profile.

docs/ci/k3s-1.37-dns-after-node-restart.md records the investigation.

The report's summary still described CI as single-node in the present
tense. It now says that was the state before the fix, and records the
first run after it: all four legs that restart the server recovered,
source-cluster included, with no DNS timeouts.
