Adds a CronJob-style `EtcdDefragPolicy` so the operator drives recurring defragmentation itself, instead of relying on an external CronJob to create `EtcdDefrag` objects (the follow-up flagged as "planned" in the EtcdDefrag docs). The policy reconciler stamps out `EtcdDefrag` runs on a five-field cron schedule (evaluated in UTC; a CRON_TZ prefix is honoured). Each stamped run is owned by the policy (cascades on delete) and labelled with the policy name, and carries the policy's `rule` and `ttlSecondsAfterFinished` — the run then follows all of EtcdDefrag's existing safety rules (per-cluster serialization, health gate, followers-before-leader), so the policy only triggers runs and never defragments directly. Spec: `schedule`, `clusterRef`, `rule`, `ttlSecondsAfterFinished`, `suspend`, `concurrencyPolicy` (Forbid default / Allow), `startingDeadlineSeconds`, and `historyLimit`. Status: `lastScheduleTime` (anchors the next tick so one is never acted on twice), `lastSuccessfulTime`, `active`, and an `Active` condition carrying Suspended / InvalidSchedule reasons. A long backlog after downtime is collapsed into a single run rather than replayed. Adds the API type + generated CRD/deepcopy/RBAC, the controller (wired in main.go, watches its owned EtcdDefrags), robfig/cron/v3, unit + controller tests (schedule parsing/next-tick math, stamp-when-due, not-due, suspend, invalid schedule, Forbid/Allow concurrency, history GC), and docs. Stacked on the EtcdDefrag controller PR. Refs #221. Assisted-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Andrey Kolkov <androndo@gmail.com>
The controller skips a tick older than StartingDeadlineSeconds — emitting MissedSchedule and consuming the tick without stamping a run — but the case was untested. Add a missed-deadline case (tick past the window: no run, tick still consumed) and a within-deadline mirror (run stamped normally).

Design is right and I'd take the kind. Two blocking bugs, two more worth fixing in the same round, the rest small.
Verified before reviewing: make manifests generate produces no drift, so zz_generated.deepcopy.go and both CRDs match the types. go test ./controllers/ passes. RBAC is tight — no create/delete on etcddefragpolicies (correct, no finalizer), nothing cluster-scoped.
Also worth stating up front, since it's the failure mode this pattern is famous for: there is no missed-tick stampede. nextSchedule returns only the single most recent tick, never a backlog, so every branch stamps at most one run per reconcile. And the deterministic <policy>-<tick> name plus IsAlreadyExists makes a re-reconcile of the same tick a no-op — in every branch except the one in finding 1.
The kind is warranted, but docs/etcd-defrag.md makes the wrong case for it
The existing "Why in the operator (not a bare CronJob)" section argues for EtcdDefrag: one member at a time, followers before the leader, defer on a degraded cluster. That argument does not carry EtcdDefragPolicy, because the CronJob this displaces doesn't call etcdctl — it calls kubectl create -f etcddefrag.yaml. Every guarantee in that section holds identically whether the CR is created by the operator or by a CronJob. As the doc stands, a reader lands on the policy section having just read a justification that doesn't apply to it.
The argument that does carry, and is enough on its own:
- A CronJob's
concurrencyPolicygoverns overlapping Jobs.kubectl createexits in milliseconds; the defrag it requested runs for minutes. So a CronJob structurally cannot express "skip tonight, last night's sweep is still going" — the Job it would forbid exited long ago.EtcdDefragPolicygates onEtcdDefrag.status.phase, which is the thing actually still running. - A Job cannot own the CR it created, so the CronJob route leaks
EtcdDefragobjects indefinitely.historyLimitplus the owner-ref cascade close that. - Cost per namespace. The CronJob route needs a ServiceAccount, a Role granting
createonetcddefrags, a RoleBinding, and a pinned kubectl image to keep patched — and that Role is exactly the privilege you'd rather not hand a tenant.
Worth a few lines in the doc. The API is also a deliberate subset of CronJob rather than a clone — one historyLimit instead of successful/failed pairs, no Replace concurrency — which is the right instinct and worth saying so.
Blocking
1. The catch-up collapse defeats startingDeadlineSeconds — the longer the outage, the weaker the guard
controllers/etcddefragpolicy_controller.go:254-256
Past defragPolicyMaxCatchup missed ticks the loop bails with last = now and returns now as the due tick. The deadline check at :124 is now.Sub(tick), which is then always zero, so the deadline can never fire. Both branches, same policy (*/5 * * * *, startingDeadlineSeconds: 60):
outage 4h ( 48 ticks): due=04:00:00 age=2m30s -> 150s > 60s -> skipped (correct)
outage 12h (144 ticks): due=12:02:30 age=0s -> deadline ignored -> stamped
An operator down over a weekend comes back and immediately starts a defrag the deadline was configured to suppress. Inverted: short outages honour the deadline, long ones don't.
Two consequences from the same line. The returned tick is not a cron boundary (12:02:30), so lastScheduleTime records a time the schedule never named. And the run name becomes <policy>-<wall-clock-second>, so the idempotency argument in the comment at :152-153 does not hold here — with concurrencyPolicy: Allow, a status-write conflict at :161 after a successful Create requeues, re-reconciles a second later, computes a different name, and stamps a second run for the same logical tick.
Separately, the constant's comment at :40-43 says it stops a backlog "replaying every slot", but nothing ever replays slots — nextSchedule only ever returns the latest one. maxCatchup is purely a loop-iteration bound, and the comment should say that. Upstream's CronJob controller surfaces this case as an error telling the user to check the clock or set a deadline, rather than fabricating now; that seems like the right shape.
2. Timezone handling is broken as shipped, and wants a different shape
Dockerfile:34, controllers/etcddefragpolicy_controller.go:231-237, api/v1alpha2/etcddefragpolicy_types.go:47-50
Two problems here, and only one of them stays fixable after this kind ships.
It does not work. robfig/cron resolves a CRON_TZ= prefix through time.LoadLocation. The manager ships on gcr.io/distroless/static:nonroot, which carries no /usr/share/zoneinfo, and nothing in the tree imports _ "time/tzdata". CRON_TZ=UTC works only because Go special-cases UTC and Local — which is why the tests pass and why this parses fine on a dev box. In the container, CRON_TZ=Europe/Moscow 0 3 * * * fails LoadLocation and the policy parks permanently on Active: False / InvalidSchedule. Every documented non-UTC schedule is broken as shipped. import _ "time/tzdata" in main.go costs about 450KB of binary and is required no matter what happens to the API below — a timezone field resolves through the same LoadLocation and fails the same way without it.
The prefix is the wrong interface. Encoding the zone inside the cron string means the parser has to sniff for it — :233 uses strings.Contains(spec, "TZ="), so a TZ= anywhere in the string suppresses the UTC default — the zone is invisible to kubectl get -o custom-columns, and it cannot be validated apart from the expression. CronJob solved this with a dedicated spec.timeZone; this should too.
Once there is a timezone, both fields want one struct — which also converges with Plan in cozystack/cozystack, whose spec.schedule is already a struct ({type, cron}):
spec:
schedule:
cron: "0 3 * * *"
timezone: Europe/Moscow # optional, UTC when absentCRON_TZ then becomes an implementation detail rather than user-facing syntax: validate the zone with time.LoadLocation so a bad one gets its own condition message, compose "CRON_TZ=" + tz + " " + cron for the parser, and reject a TZ=/CRON_TZ= prefix inside cron so there is exactly one way to express it. The docs example and the Schedule printer column need the same update.
This is the one item in this review with a real deadline. schedule is a required string today; string-to-struct is a breaking change, and an unreleased kind is the last moment it is free.
Worth the same round
3. Ownership is inferred from a label alone
controllers/etcddefragpolicy_controller.go:75-76, consumed at :88 and :134
The run list matches on LabelDefragPolicy only, with no metav1.IsControlledBy check. If someone copies a stamped run's YAML to re-trigger a defrag by hand and keeps the label, that object counts as active — so every tick is silently skipped under the Forbid default — and once finished it becomes a deletion candidate in gcHistory at :188. The operator deletes an object it doesn't own. Same hazard for a policy deleted and recreated under the same name while old runs are still being collected.
Plan in cozystack/cozystack handles this by putting spec.planRef on the run alongside the ownerRef, which is a stronger link than a label. Adding a spec field to the already-merged EtcdDefrag is a bigger change; filtering the listed items on IsControlledBy gets the same safety for one line.
4. A rejected Create leaves the policy reporting Active: True
api/v1alpha2/etcddefragpolicy_types.go:42-45, controllers/etcddefragpolicy_controller.go:148-151
EtcdDefragSpec carries XValidation: size(self.clusterRef.name) != 0. EtcdDefragPolicySpec has no equivalent, and the generated CRD gives clusterRef.name a default: "" with no required. So clusterRef: {} is admitted at the policy and only rejected when the stamped EtcdDefrag hits the CEL rule. The reconciler returns that error, the workqueue backs off forever, and the policy still reports Active: True / Scheduled — a healthy-looking policy that never runs, with the reason only in operator logs.
Same silent shape for a policy name over 63 characters, since LabelDefragPolicy: pol.Name at :176 then exceeds the label-value cap, and over ~242 where the -<unix> suffix pushes metadata.name past 253. Upstream caps CronJob names at 52 for exactly this reason.
Two cheap fixes: add the clusterRef.name CEL rule for parity with EtcdDefrag — note api/v1alpha2/cel_validation_test.go and validation_envtest_test.go have no references to the new kind, so this is untested territory — and set the Active condition to False with the API error before returning at :148-151.
Smaller
5. Suspend/resume doesn't match its own documentation. api/v1alpha2/etcddefragpolicy_types.go:52-53 and the docs both say missed ticks are not backfilled on resume. The suspend branch at :93-96 returns before touching lastScheduleTime, so on resume the anchor is still pre-suspension and the latest missed tick gets stamped unless startingDeadlineSeconds catches it. This matches upstream CronJob, so it isn't wrong — but the docs claim the opposite. Advancing lastScheduleTime in the suspend branch is the smallest fix and is consistent with that field's own doc, which already says it records ticks "stamped or deliberately skipped".
6. The parser accepts more than the documented grammar. :236 uses cron.ParseStandard, which enables descriptors (applies equally to schedule.cron under finding 2's shape) — @every 1s and @hourly both parse, while the API doc, the CRD description and the user docs all say five-field. The Forbid default contains the damage. Constraining the parser to cron.Minute|Hour|Dom|Month|Dow makes the docs true.
7. No conflict retry on status writes. Six r.Status().Update call sites, none wrapped, where controllers/etcddefrag_controller.go:712 uses retry.RetryOnConflict. Mostly harmless given the deterministic name, but it's an inconsistency with the sibling controller.
8. +kubebuilder:default=Forbid on ConcurrencyPolicy. concurrencyPolicy() at :272 defaults in code, so kubectl explain and get -o yaml never show the effective default. Add the marker, keep the helper.
9. Take minute granularity in the run name. :173 uses tick.Unix(); Plan in cozystack/cozystack uses scheduledFor.Unix()/60 (internal/backupcontroller/factory/backupjob.go). Cron's finest standard granularity is one minute, so second precision buys nothing — and it's what lets finding 1's collapse branch produce two names for one tick. Worth converging on anyway: the two controllers already share the two-kind split, robfig/cron/v3, SetControllerReference, and the <schedule>-<tick> + AlreadyExists idempotency trick.
10. Cascade delete aborts an in-flight run without disarming NOSPACE. EtcdDefrag has no finalizer, and maybeDisarm runs only from finalize/failRun. Deleting a policy mid-sweep cascades to a Running run that has already reclaimed space but never disarms the alarm, leaving the cluster read-only. Pre-existing — kubectl delete etcddefrag does the same — but the policy makes it reachable from kubectl delete etcddefragpolicy, which reads as far more innocuous. A docs sentence now (suspend first, or --cascade=orphan); a finalizer on EtcdDefrag is the real fix and a fair follow-up.
11. Test gaps. The suite is solid on the happy paths, and the _MissedDeadline / _WithinDeadline pair is genuinely good. But TestNextSchedule's collapse case asserts due == now, which codifies finding 1 rather than catching it. Nothing covers the collapse-times-deadline interaction, suspend then resume, the AlreadyExists path, un-owned labelled runs, or CRON_TZ.
Keep the conditional trigger on the roadmap
The PR removes the sentence that announced a condition-driven companion to schedule, and doesn't replace it. That reads as a decision that cron is the finished design, which isn't this PR's call to make.
The gap is real: spec.rule decides which members a run touches, evaluated live during the sweep at controllers/etcddefrag_controller.go:222. What decides whether to start a run at all is, today, a clock. A policy carrying rule without schedule — stamping a run when observed fragmentation crosses the threshold, HPA-style — is a different feature, not a redundant one, and it's currently blocked on the capacity metrics tracked in #357: backend sizes exist only inside EtcdDefrag.status.members[] after a run, EtcdMember.status has no size field, and there are no continuously-scraped gauges. Nothing observes fragmentation between runs.
Please restore a scoped version of the note — that a condition-triggered mode is contemplated once #357 lands, and schedule is required until then. Whether it eventually earns its keep is a separate question; dropping the note silently answers it by default.
Making schedule optional later is a compatible relaxation, so that part carries no deadline — unlike the string-to-struct change in finding 2, which does. The question worth writing down now is whether the two modes would be exclusive or combinable ("nightly, or sooner if fragmentation trips"), since that decides sibling fields versus a mode discriminator. If it's ever built, it'll also want a cooldown — Forbid blocks overlap while a run is active, but a stale signal right after a successful defrag will re-trip the threshold immediately.
Bottom line
Findings 1 and 2 block: one is a correctness bug in precisely the branch meant to guard the scenario it breaks, the other is a documented feature that cannot work in the image we ship, carrying an API-shape change that only stays free until this kind is released. 3 and 4 are a few lines each and belong in the same round. Everything else is comfortable as follow-up, except the docs corrections in 5, which are a sentence apiece.
Address review on the EtcdDefragPolicy kind:
- Schedule becomes a {cron, timezone} struct instead of a string with a
CRON_TZ= prefix, so the zone is a first-class, validated field visible to
kubectl. Embed time/tzdata in main.go — the distroless image carries no
zoneinfo, so any named zone would otherwise fail LoadLocation at runtime.
- Bound the catch-up walk by startingDeadlineSeconds: a tick older than the
deadline is never returned, so a long outage no longer collapses to a
fabricated wall-clock tick that defeats the deadline and destabilizes the
run name. A backlog past the walk bound with no deadline parks the policy on
a TooManyMissedTicks condition rather than guessing.
- Filter listed runs by ownerRef, not the label alone, so a hand-copied run
cannot count as active or be deleted by history GC.
- Add the clusterRef CEL rule for parity with EtcdDefrag, and surface a
rejected Create on the Active condition instead of only in logs.
- Constrain the parser to five fields (no descriptors), default
concurrencyPolicy in the schema, and key the run name on the tick's minute.

Bounding the catch-up walk by StartingDeadlineSeconds left it unbounded when no deadline is set: a policy more than defragPolicyMaxCatchup ticks behind returned errTooManyMissed on every pass, and because nothing advanced status.lastScheduleTime the backlog only grew. An hourly policy suspended four days, or any policy created while the operator was down long enough, parked on TooManyMissedTicks until someone edited the spec — a scheduler whose job is to eventually run, permanently not running. Give the no-deadline case a floor derived from the schedule itself, so the walk is bounded either way and a far-behind policy resumes at its most recent tick. Sampling consecutive intervals covers irregular schedules like "0 9,17 * * *", where measuring a single interval would take the short gap and drop a tick that is merely late. Folding the deadline into the cutoff also swallowed the skip: a dropped tick left the policy reading Scheduled with no event and no status trace of the run that never happened. Capture the anchor before the cutoff and emit MissedSchedule for the tick it drops, naming how late it was and whether the deadline or the period floor dropped it.

Everything raised in the previous round is addressed, and two of the fixes are better than what was asked for — folding the starting deadline into a cutoff on the catch-up anchor enforces the deadline and bounds the walk in one move, and the timezone rework covers the parts that are easy to miss: the embedded zone database the distroless base needs, validating the zone separately from the expression, and a CEL rule keeping the two from being spelled two ways.
I pushed one commit rather than sending it back for another round, since both issues fell out of the same otherwise-correct change.
A policy far enough behind could not recover. The catch-up walk was bounded by startingDeadlineSeconds, which leaves it unbounded when no deadline is set. A policy more than defragPolicyMaxCatchup ticks behind returned errTooManyMissed on every pass, and since nothing advanced status.lastScheduleTime, the backlog only grew — the condition never cleared on its own. Reachable from ordinary operations: an hourly policy suspended about four days, a */5 policy created while the operator was down nine hours, or any policy whose first reconcile came late enough, since earliest falls back to creationTimestamp when lastScheduleTime is nil. Only a spec edit cleared it.
The fix gives the no-deadline case a floor derived from the schedule itself, so the walk is bounded either way and a far-behind policy resumes at its most recent tick. It samples consecutive intervals rather than measuring one, because 0 9,17 * * * has an 8h gap and a 16h gap and taking the short one would drop a tick that is merely late.
This does reverse the TooManyMissedTicks posture, so TestDefragPolicy_TooManyMissedTicks became TestDefragPolicy_FarBehindResumes. Worth disagreeing with if you want to: stopping and making a human look is defensible when a large gap might mean a clock jump. My reasoning for resuming is that a parked policy keeps not-defragmenting while a condition nobody watches explains why, and a suspend/resume cycle shouldn't need a spec edit to recover. The event below keeps the signal without blocking on it.
A skipped tick left no trace. Moving the deadline into the cutoff meant a dropped tick was simply never found: no event, no status change, and the policy still reading Active: True / Scheduled. Anyone asking why the 01:00 run didn't happen had nothing to look at, and it was inconsistent with the Forbid path, which does emit and does advance the anchor. The commit captures the anchor before the cutoff and emits MissedSchedule for the tick it drops, naming how late it was and whether the deadline or the period floor dropped it.
Since the deadline path deliberately does not advance lastScheduleTime, that field's doc comment no longer matched and is corrected; the CRD description came from make manifests.
Verified on the merged result: go build ./..., go test ./controllers/ ./api/..., and make manifests generate with no drift. Two new tests cover the resume path (including that a second pass doesn't stamp again) and that a deadline-skipped tick reports itself.
One leftover, not worth a round: a comment in TestNextSchedule refers to "the guard that finding 1 was about", which will outlive the review it points at. Fold it into the next touch of that file.
Approving with my own commit on the branch — flagging that plainly so it isn't mistaken for an independent review of it. The rest of the PR is androndo's and I reviewed it as such.
The policy name becomes a label value on every stamped EtcdDefrag, and the controller selects its own runs by that label. Label values cap at 63 characters, so a longer policy name made the controller's own selector unparseable: the List at the top of Reconcile failed before any condition was set, leaving the policy backing off with nothing in its status to say why. Cap the name at 52, which also leaves room for the "-<tick>" suffix on the stamped run and matches what CronJob caps its own names to for the same reason. StartingDeadlineSeconds accepted any non-negative int64 but is multiplied out to a time.Duration, which overflows past ~292 years. A value one second past that wrapped to a negative window and pushed the catch-up cutoff into the future, so no tick was ever due and the policy reported Scheduled while silently never running. Cap it at ten years; anything near that already means "no deadline". Both are enforced at admission, covered by CEL tests against a real apiserver.

Re-approving: the earlier approval was dismissed automatically by the push of 72cd27a, which addresses the two remaining automated-review findings.
72cd27a caps the policy name at 52 characters and bounds startingDeadlineSeconds at ten years. Both are admission-time rules with CEL coverage against a real apiserver. The name cap is the one that mattered: the policy name becomes a label value on every stamped run, and past 63 characters the controller's own label selector stops parsing, so Reconcile failed on its first List with nothing in the policy's status to explain why.
The third finding, on status-write reconcile loops, is answered in the thread rather than changed — setCondition already preserves LastTransitionTime across unchanged statuses, so the steady-state object is byte-identical and the apiserver skips the write.
Verified on the current head: go build ./..., the full go test ./... with envtest assets, and make manifests generate with no drift.
Same disclosure as before — commits 1f5c114 and 72cd27a on this branch are mine, so this approval covers androndo's work rather than standing as an independent review of those two.

Adds a CronJob-style
EtcdDefragPolicyso the operator drives recurring defragmentation itself, instead of relying on an externalCronJob/GitOps cron to createEtcdDefragobjects. This is the follow-up flagged as planned in theEtcdDefragdocs.Stacked on #361 (the
EtcdDefragcontroller) — base isfeat/defrag-and-capacity-metrics. The diff here is the policy kind + its controller; the runs it stamps are theEtcdDefragfrom #361. Merge #361 first; GitHub will retarget this tomain.What it does
Reconciles an
EtcdDefragPolicyas a scheduler that stamps outEtcdDefragruns on a cron cadence:CRON_TZ=<zone>prefix is honoured). On each due tick it creates oneEtcdDefrag, owned by the policy (cascades on delete) and labelled with the policy name.ruleandttlSecondsAfterFinished, then follows all of feat(defrag): EtcdDefrag controller #361's safety rules — per-cluster serialization, the health gate (incl. NOSPACE handling), followers-before-leader. The policy only triggers; it never defragments directly.concurrencyPolicy—Forbid(default: skip a tick while a stamped run is still active) orAllow(stamp anyway;EtcdDefrag's own serialization queues it).suspendpauses stamping (missed ticks are not backfilled);startingDeadlineSecondsskips a tick already older than the deadline (e.g. after downtime) rather than starting it late;historyLimittrims retained finished runs (the oldest go first), complementing per-run TTL.status.lastScheduleTimeanchors the next tick (so a tick is never acted on twice);status.lastSuccessfulTimerecords the lastComplete;status.activelists in-flight runs; anActivecondition carriesSuspended/InvalidSchedulereasons.Adds the API type + generated CRD/deepcopy/RBAC; the controller (wired in
