🌐 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.

Review comment at @api/v1/clusterobjectset_types.go around lines 134 - 137:
Move immutability validation for phases and progressionProbes from field-level
CEL rules to ClusterObjectSetSpec-level rules that require each field to remain
present and equal to oldSelf once previously set, including empty values. Remove
the obsolete field annotations and update comments, add tests covering setting
then clearing both fields, and regenerate the CRDs, manifests, and apply
configurations.
