What

Implements the HyperFleetConfig reconcile loop (epic HYPERFLEET-1403, Phase 1). The
single bundle controller now resolves spec.bundle to a component set and
server-side-applies each component's operands, owned by the CR. The API is the
first (and, in Phase 1, only) component, living in the shared tier of every bundle.

1406 delivered the CRD schema; this PR delivers the behavior that acts on it.

Why

Epic 1403 collapses HyperFleet's install surface (Helm + AdapterConfig +
SentinelConfig + broker) down to one operator + one CR. A partner applies a single
cluster-scoped HyperFleetConfig named cluster; the operator turns that intent into
a running HyperFleet API. This story builds the machinery — one controller that fans
out to component packages (never new controllers), so later work is "add a package +
a bundle-definition entry."

How it works

Level-based, idempotent reconcile:

  1. Get the CR — not-found returns cleanly (owner-ref GC handles deletion; no finalizer).
  2. bundle.Resolve(spec.bundle, cfg) → ordered component set (shared tier [API]).
  3. For each component: Render(ctx, cr) (pure: CR → desired objects) → apply.Objects
    (SSA upsert).
  4. Each operand gets a controller:true owner reference, powering both GC and the
    Owns() watches — so out-of-band drift self-heals and CR deletion cascades.

Operands (all in the operator's own namespace, via the downward API): Deployment,
Service, ServiceAccount, ConfigMap, Role, RoleBinding
.

Changes

New packages

  • internal/bundle/bundle.goComponent contract (Name/Render/Conditions),
    data-driven bundle definition, and Resolve().
  • internal/component/api/{api.go,render.go} — the API component: pure builders
    translated from the source-of-truth Helm chart, with TypeMeta set for SSA.
  • internal/apply/apply.go — SSA helper: SetControllerReference +
    client.Patch(client.Apply, FieldOwner("hyperfleet-operator"), ForceOwnership).

Rewired

  • internal/controller/hyperfleetconfig_controller.go — real Reconcile;
    SetupWithManager now Owns() all six operand kinds; RBAC markers for operands.
  • cmd/main.go — reads POD_NAMESPACE and RELATED_IMAGE_HYPERFLEET_API, passes them
    to the reconciler.
  • config/manager/manager.yaml — adds those env vars (namespace via fieldRef).
  • config/rbac/role.yaml — regenerated by make manifests from the new markers.

Tests

  • internal/component/api/api_test.go — pure render assertions (operand set, GVK,
    labels, ports/probes, empty Role, image fallback, hardened SecurityContext).
  • internal/controller/hyperfleetconfig_controller_test.go — envtest specs: full
    operand set, owner references, drift self-heal, idempotency (resourceVersion
    unchanged), deletion path.

Notable decisions

  • One controller, component packages. Adding a component later is one bundle entry +
    one package — never a new controller.
  • SSA with typed objects. Sole-manager operands; ForceOwnership reclaims fields a
    human kubectl edit grabbed → drift self-heals. TypeMeta set explicitly (SSA needs GVK).
  • Empty Role, rendered anyway. The API talks only to Postgres, never the k8s API, so
    the Role carries no rules — but we render Role/RoleBinding to satisfy the RBAC operand
    and pre-wire the pattern.
  • No delete on operands. Cleanup is owner-ref GC (run by kube-controller-manager),
    so the operator needs no delete permission.
  • Hardening: automountServiceAccountToken: false, readOnlyRootFilesystem: true,
    drop-ALL caps, runAsNonRoot, seccomp RuntimeDefault, imagePullPolicy: Always.

Out of scope (deferred by design)

  • CR-field → API config mapping + content-hash rollout → 1408 (operand is
    structurally complete but not yet functionally configured).
  • status.conditions / observedGeneration1409 (Conditions method exists,
    unwired).
  • secretRef operator-namespace enforcement + Degraded-on-missing → 1512
    (TODO marker left at the enforcement site).

Testing

GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.26.0 make manifests generate   # only role.yaml drift
GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.26.0 make lint                  # 0 issues
GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.26.0 make test                  # unit + envtest pass

envtest note: apiserver+etcd only — no GC controller and no running manager. GC is
verified structurally (owner-ref assertions) and self-heal by re-invoking
Reconcile; real cascade + watch-driven wake-ups are covered by the kind e2e.

Reviewer notes

  • config/manager/manager.yaml pins the API image to
    quay.io/openshift-hyperfleet/hyperfleet-api:latest as a placeholder — OLM injects the
    digest-pinned value via RELATED_IMAGE_HYPERFLEET_API. A real digest can't be pinned
    pre-Feature-Freeze without breaking make deploy.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automated deployment of the HyperFleet API component, including its service, configuration, security settings, and health checks.
    • Added support for selecting API images through configuration, with a reliable default image.
    • Added bundle-based component provisioning in the operator’s configured namespace.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Reconciliation now restores managed resources if they are deleted or modified.
    • Resources are automatically cleaned up when their configuration is removed.
    • Repeated reconciliations produce consistent results without unnecessary changes.

Walkthrough

The change adds a HyperFleet API component that renders six Kubernetes operands. A bundle resolver orders components, and a server-side-apply helper manages ownership and updates. The controller reconciles configured bundles, watches owned resources, recreates deleted operands, and handles missing custom resources. Manager configuration now supplies the operator namespace and API image. RBAC grants access to the managed resources. Envtest and component tests cover rendering, ownership, idempotency, and self-healing.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 1e4a0

This PR adds reconciliation that creates API operands and expands deployment permissions. The current configuration permits cluster-wide workload writes, mutable API images, and silent namespace fallback, creating material security and deployment risks; merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Add one error-path spec.

The four specs cover happy paths only: create, self-heal, idempotency, and absent custom resource. The reconciler wraps failures as apply component %q: %w, and no spec exercises that path. Add a spec that points the reconciler at a namespace that does not exist, then assert Reconcile returns an error that names the component. This covers the wrapping contract cheaply in envtest.

Suggested spec
It("returns a wrapped error when the operand namespace is absent", func() {
	r := &HyperFleetConfigReconciler{
		Client:            k8sClient,
		Scheme:            k8sClient.Scheme(),
		OperatorNamespace: "does-not-exist",
		APIImage:          apiImage,
	}
	_, err := r.Reconcile(ctx, ctrl.Request{NamespacedName: typeNamespacedName})
	Expect(err).To(MatchError(ContainSubstring("apply component")))
})

Construct an apply-specific payload instead of applying the full typed object. controller-runtime v0.21.0 implements client.Apply through Patch and json.Marshal(obj); it has no typed Client.Apply(runtime.ApplyConfiguration, ...) API. This can send fields such as metadata.creationTimestamp: null and status: {}. Use generated apply configurations converted to unstructured.Unstructured, or strip fields that the operator does not intend to own. Test API-default preservation and managed-field pruning when a rendered field is removed.

Do not fall back to a hardcoded namespace when running in-cluster.

POD_NAMESPACE is optional here. If the downward-API entry is dropped or renamed in a deployment overlay, the operator silently targets hyperfleet-operator-system. The ClusterRole grants operand write verbs cluster-wide, so the operator then creates the API Deployment, Service, Role, and RoleBinding in a namespace it does not run in. That is a misconfiguration that no runtime error reports.

Gate the fallback on running outside a cluster. Read the service-account namespace file first, and exit non-zero if the process runs in-cluster with no namespace resolved. The hardcoded value is also duplicated in internal/controller/hyperfleetconfig_controller_test.go at Line 68; move it to a shared constant.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Scope operand permissions to the operator namespace.

These rules live in a ClusterRole, so the manager can create and patch ServiceAccounts, Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Roles, and RoleBindings in every namespace. The operator only writes operands in OperatorNamespace. Cluster-wide write on ServiceAccounts plus Deployments is a privilege escalation path (CWE-269): a compromised manager can run a workload under any service account in any namespace.

Generate a namespaced Role for the operand resources instead. Keep only hyperfleetconfigs in the ClusterRole, because the custom resource is cluster-scoped. The +kubebuilder:rbac markers in internal/controller/hyperfleetconfig_controller.go at Lines 58-60 are the source of these rules; add namespace=system there so controller-gen emits a Role.

Require a digest-pinned API image in every configuration path. The compiled fallback is :latest, the checked-in manager manifest also uses a mutable tag, and RELATED_IMAGE_HYPERFLEET_API is accepted without validation. If the related-image value is absent or changed, replacement pods can run an image that changes outside a reviewed repository change, amplified by imagePullPolicy: Always. Pin the manifest and fallback to an approved digest, and fail startup when the in-cluster value is empty or not digest-pinned.
