Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • ClusterObjectSet status records when each phase first reaches Complete with an optional completedAt timestamp. The timestamp remains available and cannot be changed once set.
    • Reconciliation repairs drift in completed phases and reports read-only status for phases still in progress.
  • Improvements
    • Existing observed phases can update eligible status fields, while phase names and digests remain fixed and phases cannot be added or removed after initialization.
    • Revision processing provides consistent progress, validation, and teardown results.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a completion timestamp to observed phases and updates the rules for changing observed phase entries. It also introduces a three-tier revision engine and connects it to the operator controller.

Changes

Observed phase revision processing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Observed phase completion contract
api/v1/..., internal/object-controller/controllers/clusterobjectset_controller.go, applyconfigurations/..., manifests/..., helm/...
ObservedPhase gains an optional CompletedAt timestamp. The controller records one timestamp for complete phases that do not already have one. The API and CRD validations allow updates to existing phase entries while preventing changes to their names and digests, additions or removals after initialization, and changes to a timestamp once set. Apply configuration and generated schemas include completedAt.
Three-tier revision engine
internal/object-controller/revision/...
The revision package defines Engine and EngineFactory and constructs ThreeTierEngine with Boxcutter options. The engine reconciles gated work, completed-phase drift, and remaining phases in paused read-only mode. It aggregates phase results and reports read-only teardown state.
Controller integration and generated interfaces
cmd/operator-controller/main.go, internal/object-controller/controllers/clusterobjectset_controller_test.go, internal/testutil/mock/...
The operator setup uses the revision package factory. Controller tests and generated mocks use the renamed engine interfaces and the New factory method.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to edb1b

The new three-tier revision engine can apply objects from a later phase before an earlier phase is ready, which breaks the phase ordering the rollout relies on. Errors from paused (read-only) phases are also dropped, so failed reconciliations are not retried. Both should be fixed before merging.

Use a value type with omitzero.

CompletedAt is an optional struct field. Declare it as metav1.Time with json:"completedAt,omitzero".

As per coding guidelines: “Do not use pointers for optional struct fields; use value types with omitzero.”

Permit the completion timestamp transition in CRD validation.

The observedPhases validation permits changes only while the list is empty. After the first entry exists, setting CompletedAt makes self != oldSelf, so the API server rejects the status update. Keep name, digest, and an existing completion timestamp immutable, but permit the transition from an unset completedAt to a set value. Regenerate the API artifacts.

Return read-only reconciliation errors.

When a paused phase returns pErr, the loop stops, but Reconcile returns only driftErr. If no drift error occurred, the function returns a partial result with a nil error. The controller therefore cannot use its error retry path for that failure.

Store the read-only error and return it with the aggregated result.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep phases that never completed out of the drift tier.

splitPhases adds a phase to drift when that phase is not completed but sawCompleted is true. Drift phases run through e.phase.Reconcile without types.WithPaused{}, so the engine creates and updates their objects.

Example: gated = [A], where A is not yet complete. B has completedAt set, and C does not. The result is drift = [B, C], so the engine applies the objects of C while A is still not ready. This breaks the order in which phases roll out. It also contradicts the doc comment on New, which limits drift work to "previously completed phases".

Add only completed phases to drift. Put the first non-completed phase and every phase after it into readOnly.

Proposed fix
 	var drift, readOnly []types.Phase
-	sawCompleted := false
 	for _, phase := range rev.GetPhases() {
 		if _, inGated := gatedPhaseNames[phase.GetName()]; inGated {
 			continue
 		}
-		isCompleted := completedPhases[phase.GetName()]
-		if !isCompleted && !sawCompleted {
+		if !completedPhases[phase.GetName()] {
 			readOnly = append(readOnly, phase)
 			readOnly = append(readOnly, phasesAfter(rev, gatedPhaseNames, phase.GetName())...)
 			return drift, readOnly
 		}
-		sawCompleted = true
 		drift = append(drift, phase)
