ci(agent): run the operator-agent suite against the Go agent too - #605
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The operator-agent chainsaw suite is the operator-side contract for agent behaviour -- log format, flag file paths, history shape, interrupt idempotence, log retention, dont_write_logs. Unit tests cannot catch drift in any of them, so the suite is the parity safety net for the Python-to-Go cutover (#221). Run it against the agent-go image in agent-go-ci.yaml, mirroring agent-ci.yaml's existing operator-agent-tests job. The scenarios are shared rather than forked: a scenario is behaviour the operator depends on, not something each agent implementation gets its own copy of. Which agent a PR exercises follows the paths it touches -- agent/** runs Python, agent/go/** runs Go, and a change to k8s-tests/operator-agent/** runs both, since it edits the shared contract. Package pods are created with ImagePullPolicy: PullAlways (job_builder.go), so the image has to be pullable rather than kind-loaded. agent-go-ci therefore gains the push and create-manifest steps agent-ci already has. Signing and provenance attestation are deliberately not copied: those are gated on refs/tags/agent/ and agent-go has no release tags yet. Add a shared dump-operator-agent-diagnostics action wired into both jobs. It dumps agent pod logs plus the on-node /etc/skyhook and /var/log/skyhook trees through the privileged debugger pod setup.sh already creates. A parity failure is only actionable if both sides are diagnosed from the same evidence. Does not flip the operator default to the Go image; that is #222.

…he operator-agent suite The suite is the parity contract for the Python-to-Go cutover, but it only exercised apply, config and interrupt. Three of the surfaces the Go agent reimplements had no end-to-end coverage on either agent: - uninstall / uninstall-check ran nowhere, despite being the one transition the cutover cannot walk back: a package uninstalled by a divergent agent leaves host state no later stage repairs. The new scenario also pins the post- uninstall flag sweep (Python remove_flags, Go removeStepFlags) and the "uninstalled" sentinel in the history ledger, neither of which was asserted. - post-interrupt / post-interrupt-check were scheduled by the interrupt scenario but ran as no-ops, since it supplies no post_interrupt script. They now execute real agent code. - check_results and <stage>_ALL_CHECKED were asserted nowhere. check_results records "<step path> <True|False>" with Python's capitalised bool repr, which the Go agent hardcodes rather than formatting a Go bool; nothing caught a regression to lowercase. Scenarios are added rather than existing ones edited: they are the operator-side contract and both agents run them unchanged. upgrade / upgrade-check remain uncovered. The shellscript package these scenarios use declares no upgrade mode in any published version (1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.1.1), and its 1.1.0 tag ships a config.json declaring version 1.0.0, so a version-bump test would assert on a package packaging bug rather than on agent parity. Covering upgrade needs a package that supports it. Refs #221 Signed-off-by: Riley Rice <rrice@nvidia.com>
Review feedback on #605. ci-gate omitted create-manifest and operator-agent-go-tests from needs:, which follows the sibling gates' convention of listing only jobs that always run. That convention is right when a conditionally-skipped job is incidental to the merge decision, but it is wrong here: excluding a job does not just stop a skip from failing the gate, it stops the job from affecting the gate at all, including when it genuinely fails. operator-agent-go-tests is the parity check this workflow exists for, so the gate was gating on nothing -- a red Go suite still produced a green ci-gate. Both jobs are now in needs:, with their expected state asserted in both directions: success when PUSH_TO_REGISTRY is true, skipped when it is false. Asserting the skip rather than tolerating it means a run that should have happened and silently did not also fails the gate. Verified against simulated needs payloads for all eight combinations of the two jobs, PUSH_TO_REGISTRY, and an unrelated failing job. Also pin docker/login-action to a commit SHA. Two of the three jobs using it hold packages: write and pass GITHUB_TOKEN, so a moved tag there could act on repository packages. This file already pins checkout, upload-artifact and setup-buildx-action by SHA; agent-ci.yaml's unpinned tag was copied without re-examining it.

Review: are the new tests strong enough?
I read the three new scenarios against both agent implementations and pulled ghcr.io/nvidia/skyhook-packages/shellscript:1.1.1 to check the contract they assume. Good news on the premise: that image's config.json really does declare uninstall, uninstall-check, post-interrupt and post-interrupt-check modes (and no upgrade, confirming the doc note), so all three scenarios will execute real agent code. The gaps they close (uninstall, post-interrupt, check-summary artifacts) were genuinely uncovered.
Two structural problems mean several of the new assertions cannot fail the test, and one supporting piece points at the wrong directory. Details inline; summarizing here.
Must fix
- No
set -e, so most assertions are non-gating. Chainsaw runsscript.contentassh -c <content>and injects nothing (pkg/engine/operations/script/operation.go), so only the last command's exit status decides the step.interrupt/anddont_write_logs/in this same suite addset -efor exactly this reason. - That combines with the vacuous inverted check to make
check_results/assert nothing.check_node.shwithinvert=truepasses whengrepfinds no match, andcat <missing file>produces no output, so the single gating command in that test passes whencheck_resultsdoes not exist at all. - The diagnostics action dumps the wrong state directory. The operator sets
SKYHOOK_ROOT_DIR=<CopyDirRoot>/<name>(operator/internal/controller/skyhook_controller.go:2939, default/var/lib/skyhook)./etc/skyhookis the standalone default and is empty under this suite, so the dump misses exactly the flags/history state these new tests fail on. - Exec-timeout math on the failure path.
exec: 90swith two 60-retrycheck_node.shcalls in one script op means a failing first call is killed beforecheck_node.shprints itsData:/Check:lines, which are its only useful output.
Missing scenarios (follow-up is fine, but worth naming)
- The failure half of the check contract is untested, and it is where the two agents actually differ. Go removes
<stage>_ALL_CHECKEDat the start of every check stage before rerunning (agent/go/internal/agent/steps.go:76-86); Python only ever writes it, never removes it (controller.py:460), so a stale flag survives a later failing run. Python also has alen(results) != len(step_data)early-return branch with no Go counterpart. A scenario withapply_check.shexiting 1, assertingcheck_resultscontainsshellscript_run.sh True,apply-check_ALL_CHECKEDabsent, and the nodeerroring, is the highest-value addition to this PR. The current happy-path tests are structurally incapable of seeing that divergence. - Idempotence. The per-step flag under
flags/<pkg>/<version>/is what makes a rerun skip a completed step. This PR now depends on flag removal; the paired "flags present implies skip" behavior still has no coverage. - Serialization parity of the history ledger. Python's
json.dumpemits"current-version": "uninstalled"(with a space), Go'sencoding/jsonemits no space; Python timestamps end+00:00, Go's endZ; Go truncates the ledger athistoryEntryLimit = 100, Python does not. Nothing in the suite sees any of that.
Nits
- The PR body lists "interrupt idempotence" as covered by the suite.
interrupt/only asserts thatno_op.completeexists, not that a second interrupt is skipped viaSKYHOOK_RESOURCE_ID. check_results/andpost_interrupt/leave their steps unnamed whileuninstall/names them; named steps give better failure output.- The new
operator-agent-go-testsjob uses floating action tags (actions/checkout@v7,setup-go@v7,cache/restore@v6) and omitspersist-credentials: false, unlike every other checkout in that file. It is a faithful copy ofagent-ci.yaml's job, so this propagates an existing inconsistency rather than introducing one, but zizmor/checkov will likely flag it.
Review feedback on #605. The check_results scenario asserted nothing. Chainsaw runs script.content as `sh -c` with no `set -e`, so only the last command's exit status reaches the test, and that last command was an inverted check -- which passes when the file is absent, because `cat` on a missing file produces no output. An agent writing none of check_results, apply-check_ALL_CHECKED or config-check_ALL_CHECKED turned the scenario green. `set -e` now gates every assertion block in the three new scenarios, matching interrupt/ and dont_write_logs/. The diagnostics action dumped a directory that does not exist under the operator. /etc/skyhook is the agent's standalone SKYHOOK_ROOT_DIR default, but the operator overrides it to <CopyDirRoot>/<skyhook-name> == /var/lib/skyhook/ <name> (skyhook_controller.go getAgentConfigEnvVars). That is where flags, check_results, *_ALL_CHECKED, history and interrupts/flags live, so the action collected none of the state these scenarios fail on. Also from review: - Assert each stage's script actually ran. shellscript_run.sh prints "Could not find file ..." and exits 0 on a missing configmap key, so a typo leaves a stage a silent no-op that still produces check_results and *_ALL_CHECKED. All three scenarios now grep the stage's own output and invert-grep that message. - Drop the check_results assertion from post_interrupt. Every stage of this package writes identical content and each check stage overwrites the file, so it passed on the copy apply-check left behind whether or not post-interrupt-check ran. Only the _ALL_CHECKED name attributes a stage. - Cut retry budgets from 60 to 10 where assert.yaml has already waited for complete. Two 60-retry polls in one script op exceed the 90s exec timeout and the op is killed before check_node.sh prints its diagnostic. - Match the history ledger on the current-version key rather than the bare word, which also appears in the history[] entry. Kept whitespace-agnostic because Python's json.dump emits a space after the colon and Go's encoding/json does not. - Assert the operator converged via an emptied nodeState. Every other assertion after the uninstall trigger reads the node filesystem, so an operator that ran the uninstall and then wedged still passed. It also keeps the finalizer's delete-time uninstall off the cleanup critical path, with cleanup/delete timeouts raised past chainsaw's 15s default for the same reason. - Use update: rather than apply: for the trigger, matching the existing uninstall scenarios. Refs #221 Signed-off-by: Riley Rice <rrice@nvidia.com>
The "Could not find file" guard added in the previous commit did its job on its first run and failed both agents identically, on uninstall/ and post_interrupt/. The message was real: shellscript_run.sh prints it and exits 0 for a missing configmap key, and both scenarios only supplied scripts for the stages they were about, so apply-check, config and config-check were silent no-ops. The guard greps the whole log directory, so it saw them. Supplying a script for every stage the package actually traverses fixes the false positive and makes those stages execute rather than no-op. uninstall/ declares no interrupt, so post-interrupt never runs there and needs no script; post_interrupt/ gets the four install-path scripts alongside its own. Both agents failed on exactly the same two scenarios and passed the same five, which is the parity signal working as intended -- the defect was in the test, not in either agent. Also stop the diagnostics action dumping cluster-infrastructure namespaces. On the first real failure it caught, the chainsaw error was buried under thousands of kube-system reflector lines; a dump nobody can read is the same as no dump.

Re-reviewed through 8fa9bdd. All nine threads from the last round are addressed, and I've resolved them.
b20f3ac also fixes the post_interrupt/ and uninstall/ failures, and those were my fault: I suggested extending the Could not find file guard to both scenarios without checking that their CRs left out the install-path scripts. Stubbing every stage the package runs is the better fix of the two, because those stages now actually execute instead of doing nothing. Both operator-agent jobs are green, and it's a good sign that both agents failed the same two scenarios and passed the same five.
Three small items inline. None of them blocks merging.
Move the nodeState '{}' assert to directly after the uninstall trigger so
it does the waiting, then cut the filesystem polls from 60 retries to 10.
Two 60-retry check_node.sh loops in one script op ran past the 90s exec
timeout on the failure path, killing the op before its Data:/Check:
diagnostic printed. The flag-absence and history reads no longer race
uninstall-check either.
Note on the "Could not find file" guard in post_interrupt/ and uninstall/
that it only sees the 5 retained shellscript_run.sh logs, so with six
stages the apply log has already been rotated away before it runs.
Pin the four tag-referenced actions in operator-agent-go-tests to commit
SHAs like the rest of the workflow, and set persist-credentials: false on
its checkout to match the other jobs.

Chainsaw runs script.content as `sh -c` with no `set -e`, so only the last command's exit status reaches the test and every check_node.sh call above it is decorative. Three blocks in the pre-existing scenarios had this: - simple/: five assertions -- log content twice, the START flag, the step flag path and the history file -- of which only the final `ls .../history` gated. The log-content and flag-path checks, the ones that would notice a format drift between the two agents, could not fail the test. - reap_old_logs/: the seed block's `^7$` count and the survivor block's `^5$` count plus `newest` content check; one of three gated. interrupt/, dont_write_logs/ and the scenarios added in #605 and #673 already set it. This is the remainder. The cleanup blocks (`rm -rf ... || true`) are intentionally non-gating and are unchanged.

Description
Closes #221.
Runs the
k8s-tests/operator-agent/chainsaw suite against theagent-goimage, alongside the existing Python runs. This suite is the operator-side contract for agent behaviour — log format, flag file paths, history file shape, interrupt idempotence, log retention,dont_write_logs— and unit tests cannot catch drift in any of it. It is the parity safety net that has to be green before #222 deletes the Python source.Opened as a draft deliberately. The CI wiring is complete and statically verified, but the suite has not yet been run against the Go image, so the parity bugs #221 anticipates are still unknown. The first CI run on this PR is what surfaces them, and per the issue those fixes land here rather than by amending #213–#219.
Which agent runs, by paths changed
The scenarios are shared, never forked — a scenario is behaviour the operator depends on, not something each implementation gets its own copy of. Each workflow owns one image, so the paths a PR touches decide which agents are exercised:
agent-ci.yaml(Python)agent-go-ci.yaml(Go)agent/**excludingagent/go/**agent/go/**k8s-tests/operator-agent/**A change to the shared scenarios runs both, because it edits the contract itself. Previously
k8s-tests/operator-agent/**triggered only the Python workflow.Why
agent-go-ci.yamlgained push + manifest jobsPackage pods are created with
ImagePullPolicy: PullAlways(operator/internal/controller/job_builder.go:330,350,361), sokind loading a locally built image does not work — the kubelet always tries to pull. Making it work would require an operator change, which #221 explicitly puts out of scope. The image therefore has to be genuinely pullable, which is what the issue'sneeds: create-manifestassumed;agent-go-ci.yamlpreviously built with--loadand never pushed.These mirror
agent-ci.yamljob-for-job:compute-metadatagainsagent-image-tag/tags,build-agent-gopushes platform tags,create-manifestassembles the multi-arch manifest, andoperator-agent-go-testsis the Python job line-for-line withAGENT_IMAGEpointed atagent-go.Deviations from
agent-ci.yaml, and whyTwo, both intentional and commented at the call site:
build-agent-gobuilds with--load, then tags and pushes, rather than--pushdirectly. The job has a--versionsmoke test from [FEA]:agent-goDockerfile and container CI #220 that needs the image present locally, and buildx rejects--loadtogether with--push. Dropping the smoke test to match Python exactly would have been a regression. The same platform tags land in GHCR either way.agent-ci.yaml'screate-manifestare gated onstartsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/agent/'), andagent-gohas no release tags yet. Adding release machinery for an unreleased image would be speculative; it belongs with whatever PR first releasesagent-go.ci-gate'sneeds:deliberately excludescreate-manifestandoperator-agent-go-tests— both skip on fork PRs, and including a conditionally-skipped job is the "skipped == green" pitfall documented inoperator-ci.yaml.Failure diagnostics
New
.github/actions/dump-operator-agent-diagnostics, wired into both the Python and Go jobs. On failure it dumps agent pod logs (including previous containers, since the failing stage has usually exited) and the on-node/etc/skyhookand/var/log/skyhooktrees, read through the privileged debugger podk8s-tests/operator-agent/setup.shalready creates. A parity failure is only actionable if both sides are diagnosed from the same evidence. Every command is|| true-guarded so the diagnostics cannot replace the real chainsaw failure with one of their own.Out of scope
operator/Makefileand the chart are untouched.Checklist
