Summary

celld v0.3.0 shipped as one squashed commit with no changelog, so this re-verifies every row of docs/celld-behaviors.md against the v0.3.0 source and adapts the operator to what changed since v0.2.0.

celld change Operator adaptation
Azure Blob (az://) is a qualified backend (F7) bucket.name accepts az://; new bucket.storageAccount → AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME; new credentialsFrom.azureClientID wires AKS workload identity (SA annotation + pod label). CEL rules reject az:// without an account and an endpoint on gs:///az:// — both fail celld at startup.
Default durability bucket → fleet (two follower disks ack a write before the bucket upload lands) New spec.durability; soft hostname topologySpreadConstraints so a leader and its followers don't share a host (new F13).
v0.2.1→v0.3.0 is rolling-safe; v0.3→v0.2 can lose acknowledged writes unless every node sealed its log on shutdown (F8) breakingBoundaries is directional, reports the upstream reason, and checks every boundary a multi-hop jump crosses (0.1→0.3 was previously unguarded). The downgrade needs Recreate, which surfaces the hazard while draining.
Memory model split (threshold on cell-held memory, 95% RSS cap, reasons memory/rss-hard, /state reports both numbers) (F10) 80%-of-limit setting stays correct; new celld_rss_bytes/celld_in_use_bytes metrics.
Self-fence exits 3 and requires a restarting supervisor (new F12) Documented the kubelet contract; new celld_container_restarts/celld_self_fenced metrics.
--trust-forwarded-headers New spec.trustForwardedHeaders.
Startup storage probe + celld diagnose; put_cas_contract removed upstream (new F14) README store qualification now uses celld diagnose.
D1 route, cron cells, manifest features gate Wire-format notes, SECURITY.md nuance, README note on deploying 0.3-feature apps onto 0.2 fleets.

Also: appVersion: auto on a non-S3 bucket now reports DeployTrackingReady: UnsupportedStore; image pins bumped to v0.3.0; dist/chart's CRD template regenerated from config/crd/bases (it had drifted already — nothing in the Makefile syncs it).

Operational note

Upgrading the operator rolls every fleet once: the new topology spread changes the pod template hash, so each fleet goes through one gated rollout on the first reconcile.

Test plan

  • make test — envtest suite (10 specs, incl. new: Azure rendering + identity wiring, CEL rejections, UnsupportedStore, v0.3→v0.2 refusal and Recreate path) and unit tests (directional/multi-hop boundary table)
  • make lint — 0 issues
  • helm lint ./dist/chart and helm template render the resynced CRD
  • CI e2e on kind

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Azure Blob Storage support with workload identity configuration.
    • Added fleet- or bucket-level durability settings.
    • Added optional forwarded-header trust.
    • Added memory, restart, and self-fencing metrics.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved bucket validation and automatic deployment tracking behavior.
    • Added safer handling and clearer warnings for incompatible rolling upgrades and downgrades.
  • Documentation
    • Expanded configuration, deployment, security, storage, and upgrade guidance.
    • Updated examples for the latest release and Azure settings.

Re-verify the behaviors index against celld v0.3.0 and adapt the operator
to what changed since v0.2.0.

- Azure Blob Storage is a qualified backend: accept az:// buckets, add
  bucket.storageAccount (AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME) and
  credentialsFrom.azureClientID (AKS workload identity); CEL rules refuse
  an az:// bucket without an account and an endpoint on gs:// or az://.
- Default durability moved from bucket to fleet: add spec.durability and a
  soft hostname topology spread, since an acknowledged write now lives on
  follower disks until the bucket upload lands.
- v0.2.1 -> v0.3.0 is rolling-safe but the downgrade can lose acknowledged
  writes: breakingBoundaries is directional, reports the upstream reason,
  and checks every boundary a multi-hop jump crosses.
- Memory model: the threshold applies to cell-held memory under a 95% RSS
  cap; export celld_rss_bytes / celld_in_use_bytes from the new /state
  fields, plus celld_container_restarts / celld_self_fenced for the
  documented supervisor contract (exit code 3).
- spec.trustForwardedHeaders wires CELLD_TRUST_FORWARDED_HEADERS.
- appVersion auto on a non-S3 bucket reports UnsupportedStore.
- Docs: F-table now F1-F14 (self-fence, fleet durability, storage probe),
  README store qualification uses celld diagnose (put_cas_contract was
  removed upstream), image pins bumped to v0.3.0, chart CRD resynced.

Upgrading the operator rolls every fleet once: the topology spread
changes the pod template hash.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The WorkerApp API and CRD now support Azure Blob Storage, durability modes, and forwarded-header trust. The controller wires these settings into fleets, exports memory and self-fencing metrics, and enforces directional celld rolling-safety boundaries. Documentation and tests cover the new behavior.

Changes

WorkerApp v0.3 integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
WorkerApp API and CRD contracts
api/v1alpha1/workerapp_types.go, config/crd/bases/..., config/samples/..., README.md
The API and CRD add Azure bucket fields, durability modes, forwarded-header trust, and validation. Examples document the new settings.
Storage and fleet pod wiring
internal/controller/deploytracker.go, internal/controller/fleet_resources.go, internal/controller/workerapp_controller_test.go, README.md
The controller restricts automatic deploy tracking to S3 and wires Azure credentials, storage accounts, durability, forwarded-header trust, and topology spreading into fleet resources. Tests cover Azure configuration and invalid bucket specifications.
Fleet state and autoscaling metrics
internal/controller/fleetstate.go, README.md
The fleet poller exports celld memory, restart, and self-fencing metrics. It parses activation state and memory fields from /state.
Directional rollout safety
internal/controller/rollout.go, internal/controller/rollout_test.go, internal/controller/workerapp_controller_test.go, README.md
The controller detects directional version boundaries, reports hazard reasons, blocks unsafe rolling changes, and requires Recreate for unsafe transitions. Tests cover upgrades, downgrades, skipped boundaries, and malformed tags.
Behavior, security, and qualification documentation
docs/celld-behaviors.md, SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md
Documentation covers F1–F14 behavior, wire formats, Azure identity support, storage qualification, deployment tracking limits, and internal listener access rules.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 364d0

The change is otherwise mergeable, but Azure identity settings should be restricted to Azure buckets before merge to avoid attaching Azure workload identity to non-Azure workloads; the topology-spreading documentation also needs a minor wording correction.

In `@api/v1alpha1/workerapp_types.go`:
- Around line 104-109: Update the StorageAccount validation markers on the
StorageAccount field to require 3–24 characters matching ^[a-z0-9]+$, replacing
the current maximum of 64. Regenerate or update the corresponding schema in
config/crd/bases/celld-operator.io_workerapps.yaml at lines 165-182 and
dist/chart/templates/crd/celld-operator.io_workerapps.yaml so all CRD copies
enforce the same constraints.

In `@docs/celld-behaviors.md`:
- Line 22: Update the Kubernetes restart behavior description in the F12
documentation so it does not claim CrashLoopBackOff inherently enforces the
lease delay; either specify an explicit supervisor delay of at least
CELLD_TTL_MS or qualify the claim with the required kubelet backoff
configuration, including cases where CELLD_TTL_MS exceeds the default delay.

In `@internal/controller/rollout.go`:
- Around line 106-124: Update minorOf to remove any image digest suffix before
locating the tag separator, so tag-and-digest references such as
v0.3.0@sha256... parse correctly. Preserve existing validation and minorVersion
behavior, and add a regression case covering a tag-and-digest image reference.

In `@SECURITY.md`:
- Around line 31-33: Update the security documentation sentence describing
NetworkPolicy and AuthorizationPolicy so it states that cell activation,
eviction, and shutdown rights are available only to callers that pass the
effective policy set, or when both policy controls are removed; avoid implying
that weakening either single layer alone grants access.

72-80: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject azureClientID for non-Azure buckets.

AzureClientID is documented as az://-only, but the CRD accepts it with s3:// and gs:// buckets. The downstream pod builder enables azure.workload.identity/use whenever this field is set, without checking the bucket scheme. On AKS, a non-Azure fleet can therefore receive Azure identity token material.

Add validation that requires azureClientID to be absent unless the bucket name starts with az://. Also keep the controller-side scheme check as defense in depth, and regenerate the CRD.

| F10 | No rebalancing on node join; placement is traffic-driven. Pressure shedding has two ceilings (`logic/pressure.rs` `PressureConfig::from_limits`): the threshold `CELLD_MAX_RSS_MB` (default 80% of what the process may use, which celld reads from the cgroup limit in `machine.rs` `total_memory_bytes` before `/proc/meminfo`) applies to the memory the **cells hold** (`in_use_bytes` = RSS minus allocator retention, the only memory shedding can return); an absolute cap at 95% of the limit applies to the process **RSS**. Each latch releases at 80% of its own ceiling; `/state` reports the reason (`memory` or `rss-hard`) and both numbers; `0` disables both. | `CELLD_MAX_RSS_MB` is set to 80% of the container limit — under the cap, so shedding keeps its recovery property, and visible in the pod spec. `celld_rss_bytes` and `celld_in_use_bytes` are exported; autoscaling scales up early (new capacity absorbs slowly) and treats shedding as the hard out-of-capacity trigger. |
| F11 | `celld deploy` = esbuild + `wrangler.jsonc`/`.json` with a strict key allowlist (v0.3.0 adds `triggers.crons` and `d1_databases`); unknown keys fail loudly. `--dry-run` bundles without writing. | CI-validated deploys; the operator never touches the build. |
| F12 | Self-fencing: a node whose lease lapses, or whose core actor or replication process dies, logs a `SELF-FENCE:` line and exits with code **3**. The state is terminal, and upstream **requires** a supervisor that restarts the process without an attempt limit and waits at least one lease lifetime (`CELLD_TTL_MS`, default 10 s) between attempts. | Kubernetes restarts the container without a limit, but CrashLoopBackOff is sufficient only when the effective kubelet delay before each retry is at least `CELLD_TTL_MS`. The default 10 s initial delay covers the default lease lifetime; a larger `CELLD_TTL_MS` requires a correspondingly longer kubelet backoff or an explicit supervisor delay. The operator exports `celld_container_restarts` and `celld_self_fenced` (last exit code 3) so a fence loop is visible rather than silent. |
| F13 | Fleet durability (`CELLD_DURABILITY`, default `fleet` since v0.3.0; `bucket` is the pre-0.3 behavior): a write is acknowledged when **two follower nodes** hold it on local disk (write-all, ack-all) or the bucket upload proves it, whichever first; the bucket remains the tiering target. A follower failure degrades the leader to bucket proofs until it re-recruits; a takeover of a dead leader recovers from at least one reachable sealed follower before it restores. A one-node fleet behaves as `bucket`. | `spec.durability` pins the proof; a soft hostname topology spread keeps a leader and its followers off one host, since until the upload lands an acknowledged write exists only on their emptyDirs; the per-pod `CELLD_WATCH` emptyDir is otherwise unchanged (its loss is the node-failure case upstream designs for). |

Describe hostname spreading as a preference, not a guarantee.

The generated pod template uses kubernetes.io/hostname with WhenUnsatisfiable: corev1.ScheduleAnyway, so Kubernetes may co-locate the pods. Change “keeps a leader and its followers off one host” to “attempts to spread a leader and its followers across hosts but does not guarantee separation.”
