Description

Implement OPRUN-4739 by introducing required, immutable ClusterObjectSet.spec.group as the identity of a revision sequence. Revision lookup and handoff use the group regardless of controller owner references, including for ownerless revisions. For example, two revisions in the same group can hand off workload objects even with different owners; revisions in different groups remain subject to collision protection even when they share an owner.

ClusterExtension remains the parent API in this intermediate step. Generated and Helm-migrated COS use the CE name as their group and retain CE controller owner references for cascading garbage collection. This implements the group behavior described in OPRUN-4781; introducing COD and its adoption/ownership-conflict behavior (OPRUN-4783) remains future work.

  • Require a group of 1–52 characters: start with a lowercase letter, contain lowercase letters, digits or hyphens, and end with a letter or digit. Add the Group printer column and update API examples and generated artifacts.
  • Use group-based lookup for siblings, predecessors, revision numbering, status, migration lookup, catalog-unavailable fallback, and retention. Register the cache index in both managers and expose a shared ListForGroup helper accepting a group string.
  • Route COS events to the CE named by spec.group. Use the shared SSA manager cos-group/<group> across revisions while retaining the OLM metadata prefix.
  • Enable API-server selection with kubectl get clusterobjectsets --field-selector spec.group=<group>.
  • Cover mixed-owner and ownerless handoffs, workload UID preservation through archival, cross-group collisions, pruning isolation, and uninstall cleanup.

This changes the experimental COS API: new objects must supply spec.group. Backfill of existing stored COS objects is outside this PR's scope.

Validation

  • make verify: passed after the final refactor.
  • make test-unit: all 50 tested packages passed after the final refactor, with race detection and coverage.
  • make lint: 0 issues after the final refactor.
  • make lint-api-diff BASELINE_BRANCH=origin/main: no new issues after the API changes.
  • Experimental E2E: 18 scenarios / 207 steps passed on a freshly recreated KIND cluster with standalone object-controller. These covered the initial four-commit group implementation, including handoff, collisions, pruning, direct-COS lifecycle, and CE install/upgrade/uninstall. E2E was not rerun for the subsequent field-selector addition or helper refactor; API-server field selection is covered by an uncached envtest regression test.

Six DCO-signed commits separate API/documentation, generated artifacts, implementation, E2E coverage, API-server field selection, and the ListForGroup refactor.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • ClusterObjectSets now require a group identifier to organize related revisions independently of controller ownership. Groups are immutable and available for filtering and display.
    • Revisions in the same group can hand off managed resources while preserving their identity; different groups remain protected from resource conflicts.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Revision discovery and retention now use group membership, so ownership changes do not disrupt revision tracking or pruning.

📝 Walkthrough

ClusterObjectSet gains a required, immutable spec.group field. Object and operator controllers use the group to find related revisions and set server-side apply ownership. CRD schemas, apply configurations, documentation, and tests are updated to reflect group-scoped revision behavior.

Changes: ClusterObjectSet group scoping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define the ClusterObjectSet group contract
api/v1/*, applyconfigurations/api/v1/*, applyconfigurations/internal/internal.go, helm/olmv1/base/object-controller/crd/experimental/*, manifests/experimental*.yaml, docs/draft/concepts/*
The API and CRD schemas add required, immutable spec.group with format validation and field selection. Apply configurations and examples include the field. Documentation describes group-based revision sequences and ownership.
Scope object-controller revisions by group
internal/object-controller/controllers/*, cmd/object-controller/main.go, test/indexes.go
The object controller indexes and lists revisions by group. The revision engine uses cos-group/<group> as the apply field manager. Tests configure indexes and cover group lookup, revision selection, and apply ownership.
Create and reconcile extension-group revisions
internal/operator-controller/applier/boxcutter.go, internal/operator-controller/controllers/*, internal/operator-controller/revisions/*, cmd/operator-controller/main.go
Boxcutter assigns the ClusterExtension name as the group and uses group-scoped revision listing. Operator-controller setup separates Boxcutter and Helm watches, and revision-state lookup uses the shared group-listing helper.
Verify group behavior in end-to-end scenarios
test/e2e/features/*, test/e2e/steps/*
End-to-end scenarios cover group assignment, same-group handoff, cross-group collision protection, pruning, apply managers, ownership, and removal of referenced Secrets.

Good catch! The linter anyway (make api-lint-diff) enforces it for required fields:
api/v1/clusterobjectset_types.go:51:2:kubeapilinter:requiredfields: field ClusterObjectSetSpec.Group should have the omitempty tag.
Seems it is deliberate for RequiredFields in kube-api-linter to cope with serialization: serializing without omitempty would serialize and empty group with an empty string (which also violates the validation rule of at least 1 char).

Weird. Seeing "omitempty" on a required field is non-sensical to me. The field is required, therefore it simply is not possible for it to be empty, at which point "omitempty" is a distraction. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the nuance that doc is trying to explain.

I don't think it technically matters since that'll never actually come into play with the field being required and between 1 and 52 chars long.

What is your perspective of this linter rule? Does it make sense to you, or should we set to Ignore?

Use the new field selector and fix the stale comment.

The comment on Line 87 says spec.group is not selectable through kubectl. This PR adds .spec.group to selectableFields, so the comment is now incorrect. The helper lists every ClusterObjectSet in the cluster and filters them on the client. Use --field-selector spec.group=<group>. This change also gives the new selectable field e2e coverage.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Map the ClusterExtension name to a valid group before you assign it.

WithGroup(ext.Name) copies the ClusterExtension name into spec.group with no change. A ClusterExtension name is a DNS-1123 subdomain. It can be up to 253 characters long, it can start with a digit (for example 3scale-operator), and it can contain dots. The spec.group CEL rule ^[a-z]([a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?$ and MaxLength=52 reject all of these names. For such a ClusterExtension, the API server rejects every COS apply, so install and Helm migration fail on every reconcile.

An earlier review thread said a sanitizing/hashing transformation was added. This code does not contain it. Either restore that function and use it at every group site, or make the group rule accept every valid ClusterExtension name. The group sites are:

  • generation (Line 238)
  • Migrate (Line 285)
  • Apply (Line 469)
  • GetRevisionStates

If you hash the name, clusterExtensionRequestsForClusterObjectSet can no longer get the ClusterExtension name back from spec.group. In that case, map events through the owner reference or a label instead.

Nit: this this into the table specs so that it is not implicit? Also, these tests will start to fail when we intro the name validation on COS, so consider changing the ObjectMeta.Name to be the name we'll expect if that's not part of what we're testing here.

cos := &unstructured.Unstructured{Object: map[string]any{
"apiVersion": GroupVersion.String(),
"kind": ClusterObjectSetKind,
"metadata": map[string]any{"generateName": "spec-validation-"},

Oh, generateName may be something we need to think about specifically since we'll require a specific name format. Not sure what format kubernetes uses for the suffix, but to be safe we may want to look into the possibility of explicitly rejecting use of generate name.

This indexing setup makes sense, right? Because object-controller will need to know about specific COSs and index into them.

I think I would expect that the operator-controller main.go would not have these indexes since it will interact only with COD?

Is this the first file directly in the test directory? If so, I'd suggest we find a different place for it. It appears this is only used in internal/object-controller, so maybe internal/object-controller/testutil/indexes.go?

This looks like it is setting up some mutable global state, and then running multiple test cases that mutate that state? I'd suggest moving the shared setup into the t.Run call back, so that it is never shared between test cases.

Is there some reason we need to do the Get/Update steps? Seems like we could have each test case directly create a brand new fake client injected with that test case's configured previous/current refs.

Are owner refs relevant to this test case? If not, drop these? If so, perhaps we need specific archival test cases that prove all the various ownerref combos have the expected behavior?

Not sure if it's just me, but I'm having a hard time separating the wheat from the chaff in this test. I can't really tell what behavior we're asserting here. Perhaps refactor this to separate setup / scenario / assertions?

But also, this looks like a lot of setup. Is this a unit test or an integration test or...? My spidey sense is going off on this.

Is this changing the test scenario somehow? I see revisionWithoutOwnerLabel is new in this PR, but I don't see any changes related to defaultDesiredRevision? Does defaultDesiredRevision no longer work for some reason?

If I understand this test assertion correctly, it is saying that we expect the CE reconciler to delete old revisions no matter their controller owners so that the total remaining set has no more than 5?

CE should definitely NOT delete COD or COS that it does not own.

This sounds more like a separate explicit test case, right? But it's structured right now as something we assert in every single other test case.
