Description

Follow-ups to two review comments on #3012 (merged), both on the ClusterObjectSet reconcile.

1. Initialize Ready=Unknown/Pending when absent (#3012 r4288557616)

Previously, if an early transient error returned before the first evaluation, a freshly created revision was left with no Ready condition (consumers read absent as Unknown only by convention). Now the controller initializes Ready=Unknown/Pending so an active revision always reports an explicit condition.

  • Applied in the outer Reconcile after reconcile() returns, so it runs after any in-reconcile metadata patches (e.g. the finalizer patch) that refresh the object and would otherwise discard an in-memory status.
  • Only set when Ready is absent, so it never overwrites a previously observed state (no flapping).
  • Skipped for revisions being deleted or archived (they should not report Pending).
  • Adds the Pending reason.

2. Tighten buildBoxcutterPhases error classification (#3012 r4288531770)

The catch-all after the typed-error checks treats any remaining error as transient (requeue + leave Ready). Audit showed every current deterministic failure is already classified as configValidationError/referencedContentError — except computePhaseDigest's json.Marshal failure. This:

  • Classifies that failure as configValidationError → InvalidSpecification, so no deterministic error can reach the transient fallthrough.
  • Documents the invariant at the fallthrough: anything reaching it is a transient infrastructure error; new deterministic failure modes must be wrapped in a typed error so they're reported rather than retried forever. (Keeps the idiomatic controller-runtime "retryable-by-default, explicitly-terminal" model rather than inverting to an explicit TransientError match.)

Scope

Experimental API only. Updates the CRD doc-string, concept doc, regenerated CRD/manifests/applyconfiguration, and unit tests (including the no-overwrite and archived-skip invariants). make lint-api-diff passes with no new issues.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • ClusterObjectSet revisions now show a Ready status of Unknown with reason Pending while they await their first evaluation.
    • Temporary reconciliation errors preserve the existing Ready status and are retried. Archived revisions do not receive the pending status.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified when the initial Ready status is set and how it behaves during retries.

…errors

Follow-ups to review comments on operator-framework#3012:

- Initialize the Ready condition to Unknown/Pending when it is absent, so a
  freshly created active revision always reports an explicit Ready rather than
  leaving it absent when an early transient error returns before the first
  evaluation. Done in the outer Reconcile (after any in-reconcile metadata
  patches that refresh the object), only when Ready is absent (so it never
  overwrites an observed state), and skipped for deleting or archived revisions.
  Adds the Pending reason.
- Classify computePhaseDigest's json.Marshal failure as configValidationError
  (InvalidSpecification) so no deterministic failure reaches the transient
  fallthrough, and document the invariant that anything reaching the
  buildBoxcutterPhases fallthrough is a transient infrastructure error.

Updates the CRD doc-string, concept doc, generated CRD/manifests/applyconfig,
and unit tests.

📝 Walkthrough

The controller now initializes eligible ClusterObjectSet revisions to Ready Unknown/Pending when no Ready condition exists. Transient errors leave existing Ready conditions unchanged. API and CRD documentation describe the initial state.

Changes: ClusterObjectSet Ready condition

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ready Pending initialization and reconciliation handling
api/v1/clusterobjectset_types.go, applyconfigurations/api/v1/clusterobjectsetstatus.go, internal/object-controller/controllers/clusterobjectset_controller.go, internal/object-controller/controllers/clusterobjectset_controller_test.go, docs/draft/concepts/clusterobjectsets.md, helm/olmv1/base/object-controller/crd/experimental/olm.operatorframework.io_clusterobjectsets.yaml, manifests/experimental.yaml, manifests/experimental-e2e.yaml
The API adds the Pending reason. The controller initializes Ready to Unknown/Pending for eligible revisions without a Ready condition, preserves existing conditions during transient errors, and classifies phase-digest marshaling failures as configuration validation errors. Tests cover transient errors and initialization for fresh, previously Ready, and archived revisions. Documentation describes the initial condition state.

Consumers could incorrectly assume every revision has a Ready condition. Narrow the documentation before relying on that guarantee; this does not otherwise block merging.

A transient internal error (e.g. an API read failure) leaves the `Ready` condition unchanged and is retried with backoff; it is not reported as a distinct reason, so on a first reconcile the condition may remain absent (`Unknown`).
On a revision's first reconciliation the `Ready` condition is initialized to `Unknown`/`Pending`, so it is always present. A transient internal error (e.g. an API read failure) leaves the `Ready` condition unchanged and is retried with backoff; it is not reported as a distinct reason (while the revision is still `Pending`, it stays `Unknown`/`Pending`).

Limit the Ready guarantee to eligible revisions.

An archived revision can finish its first reconciliation without a Ready condition when sibling listing fails. The controller also skips Pending initialization during deletion. Replace “it is always present” with a guarantee limited to active, non-deleting revisions after a successful status write. Consumers must still handle an absent condition before that write.
