Description

Splits the overloaded ClusterObjectSet (COS) Ready=False reason ValidationFailure into two reasons that distinguish a retryable obstruction from a spec-edit-required error, so the ClusterExtension can map them to the correct Progressing semantics.

Today ValidationFailure is set by six code paths with two different behaviors:

  • five requeue on a 10s timer and self-heal (missing/mutable/changed referenced Secret; revision/phase preflight dry-run rejections such as an immutable field, a conflicting object, or RBAC/dependency CRDs not yet propagated)
  • one (configValidationError: an invalid revision spec) does not requeue and needs a spec edit

Because they share a single reason, progressingFromReady can't tell them apart, so it must pick one mapping for both — which is wrong for the other.

Changes

  • API (api/v1, experimental): replace ClusterObjectSetReasonValidationFailure with ClusterObjectSetReasonPreconditionsNotMet and ClusterObjectSetReasonInvalidSpecification; update the Ready condition doc comment.
  • COS controller: route the six sites — five retryable → PreconditionsNotMet, the configValidationError site → InvalidSpecification.
  • CE reconstruction (common_controller.go): PreconditionsNotMet → Progressing=True/Retrying; InvalidSpecification → Progressing=False/Blocked; determineFailureReason flags both as Installed=Failed (unchanged behavior for the install condition).
  • Condition messages: each reason now carries a curated, action-oriented message (what failed + how to resolve) instead of a raw Go error string; the raw error is logged at V(1). These messages also surface on the ClusterExtension Progressing condition.
  • Tests/docs/generated: unit tests (clusterobjectset_controller_test.go, *_internal_test.go, resolve_ref_test.go, common_controller_test.go), the revision.feature mutable/changed-Secret scenarios, the concept + large-bundle docs, and regenerated CRD/manifests/API reference.

Scope

Experimental API only; go-apidiff / crd-diff will flag the replaced reason constant.

Context

This is the proper fix for the overload called out in review on #3012 (where ValidationFailure was temporarily mapped to Retrying as a stopgap). #3012 is rebased on top of this so it drops the stopgap and keeps only the RetryableError removal.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • ClusterObjectSet failures now distinguish retryable unmet preconditions from invalid specifications, which remain blocked until corrected.
    • Referenced Secret issues and rejected preflight checks are reported as retryable precondition failures. Invalid configuration requires a specification change.
  • Documentation
    • Updated condition descriptions to clarify failure reasons and recovery behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

ClusterObjectSet Ready conditions now distinguish retryable unmet preconditions from invalid specifications. The object controller reports the corresponding reasons, and the operator controller maps them to separate progression states.

Changes: ClusterObjectSet Ready reason classification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define and report condition reasons
api/v1/clusterobjectset_types.go, internal/object-controller/controllers/clusterobjectset_controller.go, internal/object-controller/controllers/*_test.go, applyconfigurations/api/v1/clusterobjectsetstatus.go, docs/draft/concepts/*, helm/olmv1/.../olm.operatorframework.io_clusterobjectsets.yaml, manifests/experimental*.yaml, test/e2e/features/revision.feature
The API and object controller replace ValidationFailure with PreconditionsNotMet for retryable precondition failures and InvalidSpecification for invalid specifications. Tests and condition documentation reflect the new reasons.
Map reasons to operator status
internal/operator-controller/controllers/common_controller.go, internal/operator-controller/controllers/common_controller_test.go
Both reasons map to Failed. InvalidSpecification maps to Blocked, while PreconditionsNotMet maps to Retrying. Tests cover both mappings.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 01975

This change splits the ClusterObjectSet validation failure reason into a retryable reason and a spec-edit-required reason, and maps them to distinct operator statuses. The docs now describe the cases the controller actually reports, so no merge-blocking risk remains.

Replace the overloaded ValidationFailure reason with two reasons that
distinguish a retryable obstruction from a spec-edit-required error:

  - PreconditionsNotMet: a pre-apply precondition is not yet satisfied
    (a missing/mutable/changed referenced Secret, or a preflight dry-run
    rejected by an immutable field, a conflicting object, or RBAC /
    dependency CRDs not yet propagated). The reconciler requeues on a
    timer and the revision recovers once the precondition is met.
  - InvalidSpecification: the revision spec is invalid (a malformed
    revision/phase object or progression probe). The reconciler does not
    requeue; a spec change is required.

ClusterExtension reconstruction maps PreconditionsNotMet to
Progressing=True/Retrying and InvalidSpecification to
Progressing=False/Blocked, so a recoverable obstruction and a
spec-edit-required error are no longer conflated under one reason.

Each reason carries a curated, action-oriented condition message (what
failed and how to resolve it); the raw error is logged at V(1). These
messages also surface on the ClusterExtension Progressing condition.

Experimental API only.
