Description

spec.progressionProbes is part of the immutable content of a ClusterObjectSet revision, but — unlike spec.phases and spec.collisionProtection — it carried no immutability constraint. A populated probes list could therefore be changed in place after creation, which breaks the "a revision is an immutable snapshot" contract (and would let a server-side-apply diff silently mutate an existing revision rather than roll a new one).

This applies the same immutability rule already used by spec.phases:

// +kubebuilder:validation:XValidation:rule="self == oldSelf || oldSelf.size() == 0", message="progressionProbes is immutable"

Semantics (matching spec.phases): a revision may be created without probes and have them set once, but once set they cannot be modified.

Changes

  • Add the immutability XValidation rule (and a doc note) to ClusterObjectSetSpec.ProgressionProbes.
  • Add CRD validation test cases to TestClusterObjectSetImmutability: "progressionProbes may be initially unset" (allowed) and "progressionProbes are immutable once set" (rejected).
  • Regenerate apply configurations, the experimental CRD, and the experimental manifests.

Testing

  • go test ./api/v1/ -run TestClusterObjectSetImmutability — new and existing cases pass (envtest).
  • make lint-api-diff — no new issues.
  • golangci-lint / go vet / gofmt clean; make generate manifests crd-ref-docs produce no further diff.

Note: ClusterObjectSet is an experimental, experimental-channel-only CRD, so this is not covered by the standard crd-diff compatibility gate.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • ClusterObjectSet.spec.progressionProbes can now be populated when initially unset.
    • Once configured, progression probes cannot be modified, including when explicitly set to an empty list.
    • Invalid updates are rejected consistently by the resource schema.
  • Documentation

    • Added documentation clarifying the immutability rules for progression probes.

progressionProbes is part of the immutable content of a ClusterObjectSet
revision, but — unlike spec.phases and spec.collisionProtection — it carried no
immutability constraint, so a populated probes list could be changed in place
after creation. Add the same immutability rule used by spec.phases: a revision
may be created without probes and have them set once, but once set they cannot be
modified.

Add CRD validation test cases and regenerate the CRD, apply configurations, and
experimental manifests.

📝 Walkthrough

The API and CRD schemas now document and validate immutability for ClusterObjectSet.spec.progressionProbes. Validation permits updates while the previous list is empty and rejects changes after it is populated. Tests cover initial population and rejection of later changes.

Changes: Progression probe immutability

Layer / File(s) Summary
API validation and tests
api/v1/clusterobjectset_types.go, api/v1/clusterobjectset_types_test.go, applyconfigurations/api/v1/clusterobjectsetspec.go
The Go API adds validation that permits changes when the previous list is empty. Tests cover initial population and reject later changes. Apply configuration documentation describes the field as part of immutable revision content.
CRD schema validation
helm/olmv1/base/object-controller/crd/experimental/olm.operatorframework.io_clusterobjectsets.yaml, manifests/experimental-e2e.yaml, manifests/experimental.yaml
The CRD schemas document progressionProbes as immutable once set, including when empty. Their validation permits changes when the previous list is empty and otherwise requires the list to remain unchanged.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: tmshort, fgiudici

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to cae91

The new immutability rule on progressionProbes can be bypassed by removing the field in an update. The field is experimental-channel only and the gap matches existing phases behavior, so this is low risk; it is worth closing before or soon after merge.

Add a test case for removing progressionProbes.

The new cases cover only adding and changing probes. They do not cover clearing a populated list (cos.Spec.ProgressionProbes = nil). That update likely succeeds under the current field-level rule, so a case here would expose the gap.

🌐 Web query:

Kubernetes CustomResourceDefinition CEL field-level validation rule omitted field oldSelf transition rule semantics

💡 Result:

**If the field itself is omitted in the new object, a rule attached to that field that references `oldSelf` is skipped.** Transition rules normally run only on updates when both the old and new values exist; that includes skipping when an optional field is unset or removed. ([kubernetes.io](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/extend-kubernetes/custom-resources/custom-resource-definitions/?utm_source=openai))

So a field-level rule like `self == oldSelf` does **not** by itself prevent an optional field from being removed. To forbid removal after it was set, put a rule on the **parent object**, where both parent values remain available, for example:

```cel
!has(oldSelf.field) || has(self.field)
```

This allows the field to be initially absent, but rejects removing it once it existed. ([kubernetes.io](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/extend-kubernetes/custom-resources/custom-resource-definitions/?utm_source=openai))

For a rule that must also run when `oldSelf` cannot be correlated, `optionalOldSelf: true` changes `oldSelf` to an optional value and makes the rule evaluate unconditionally; handle absence with `oldSelf.hasValue()` before accessing its value. ([kubernetes.io](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/extend-kubernetes/custom-resources/custom-resource-definitions/?utm_source=openai))

Enforce immutability at the spec level.

The field-level CEL rule is skipped when an optional field is omitted from the new object. An update can therefore remove existing progressionProbes. MinItems=1 also makes the documented “even if empty” case invalid for progressionProbes.

Apply the same correction to phases, which has the same removal gap. Add tests that set each field and then clear it. Regenerate the CRDs, manifests, and apply configurations.
