Production rollouts could race KEDA, advance on incomplete runtime state, and report an expected deployment as though it were observed. Fleet mode also used ephemeral local logs without hard placement constraints. This PR addresses the remaining findings from the production audit together, following merged cleanup PR #4.

  • Default to bucket durability; add retained PVCs, required host/optional zone separation, resource budgets and restricted pod security.
  • Acknowledge KEDA pause before fleet changes, persist rollout settling and recreate progress, require a complete live pod census, and block unsafe downgrades.
  • Publish atomic, bounded metrics snapshots and gate scaling on complete fresh data. Validate runtime responses and observe per-pod deployment convergence, with an optional InPlace policy.
  • Require explicit bounded deployment-tracking credentials, enforce image/identity/endpoint policies, validate API invariants and immutable storage/bucket identity, and support namespace-scoped operation.
  • Remove obsolete routes/annotations/conditions, observe Gateway readiness, and stop rewriting pruned retry fields.
  • Fix chart TLS and image selection, synchronize generated schemas/RBAC, pin build dependencies, and add vulnerability scanning and isolated WorkerApp lifecycle tests.

Upgrade impact: existing fleet-mode apps without PVCs require a maintenance migration; custom identities/images/endpoints need allowlists; auto tracking needs a dedicated read-only S3 Secret. See docs/production.md for migration and operation, and docs/production-audit.md for the finding-to-fix mapping.

Validation: make lint-fix (0 issues), make test (unit/envtest and chart rendering), controller/CAS race tests, generated chart synchronization and Helm lint, isolated Kind e2e (3 tests), govulncheck module scan (no findings), and Trivy operator-image scan (zero HIGH/CRITICAL OS/Go findings after gRPC v1.83.2).

The Kind lifecycle test uses a deterministic runtime fixture and verifies pod rollout plus PVC persistence. Real celld recovery under host/zone loss, external identities, CNI/mesh enforcement, live KEDA/Prometheus and production capacity still need qualification on the target platform.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds WorkerApp validation, storage and deployment tracking fields, hardened fleet observation, coordinated rollouts, ingress status handling, production tests, pinned build inputs, security scans, and isolated Helm and Kind workflows.

Changes

WorkerApp production lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
WorkerApp API and generated resources
PROJECT, api/v1alpha1/*, config/crd/*
The WorkerApp contract adds storage, scheduling, deployment tracking, deployment policy, cluster domain, resource limits, and deployment status.
Validation and runtime configuration
cmd/main.go, internal/controller/validation.go, internal/controller/deploytracker.go, internal/controller/workerapp_controller.go
The manager accepts namespace, image, identity, bucket endpoint, and route retry settings. Reconciliation validates specifications and trust settings. Deployment tracking requires an explicit Secret and bounded responses.
Fleet resources and state observation
internal/controller/fleet_resources.go, internal/controller/fleetstate.go, config/rbac/*, config/prometheus/*
Fleet resources support retained PVCs, scheduling, hardened pod settings, configurable domains, bucket durability, startup probes, and complete-fleet autoscaling gates. State polling validates responses and publishes immutable metric snapshots.
Rollout, ingress, and status reconciliation
internal/controller/rollout.go, internal/controller/workerapp_controller.go
Rollouts pause autoscaling, wait for StatefulSet observation and fleet completeness, enforce deployment convergence, and wait for old pods to terminate during recreate operations.
Validation, E2E, and delivery controls
.github/workflows/*, Makefile, Dockerfile, test/*, hack/sync-chart.py, go.mod, README.md, docs/*
Tests cover controller, chart, and WorkerApp lifecycle behavior. Workflows, images, dependencies, Helm tooling, and generated chart resources use pinned or synchronized inputs. Documentation describes production configuration and rollout rules.

Assert that the trigger list is not empty.

If buildScaledObject returns no triggers, the loop body never runs and the test passes without checking any query. Add a length assertion so a regression that drops triggers fails this test.

Document KEDA v2.12.0 as the minimum supported version.

KEDA introduced autoscaling.keda.sh/paused and the Paused=True condition in v2.12.0. pauseScaling depends on this condition before it checks HPA removal. Older KEDA versions can leave rollouts waiting for KEDA pause acknowledgement.

Inline comments:
In `@api/v1alpha1/workerapp_types.go`:
- Line 340: Update the clusterDomain validation around the kubebuilder Pattern
in api/v1alpha1/workerapp_types.go to enforce DNS-1123 subdomains, including
63-character maximum per-label and 253-character maximum total length, while
rejecting empty or hyphen-adjacent labels. Regenerate
config/crd/bases/celld-operator.io_workerapps.yaml so the CRD schema reflects
the same validation; apply the change at both listed sites.

In `@internal/controller/fleetstate.go`:
- Around line 192-199: Update FleetSweep around errgroup.WithContext and the
per-pod group.Go callback so one unavailable pod does not cancel Fetch
operations for other pods; preserve per-pod errors or missing results instead of
sharing errgroup cancellation, while keeping observeFleet’s all-or-nothing
completeness check and sweep’s existing state-count validation.

In `@internal/controller/rollout.go`:
- Around line 554-556: Update the error condition in the enabled-autoscaling
branch around the ScaledObject read to treat meta.IsNoMatchError(err) like
apierrors.IsNotFound(err), allowing execution to continue into the existing HPA
scan. Preserve returning other errors and do not return true immediately, so
residual HPA detection and ensureScaledObject can report KEDAUnavailable.

In `@internal/controller/workerapp_controller.go`:
- Around line 159-171: In the validateApp failure branch of the controller
reconciliation flow, remove stale IngressReady, AutoscalingReady, and
DeployTrackingReady conditions before updating status. Preserve the existing
SpecValid, Available, Phase, and RolledOutAppVersion updates and status
persistence behavior.
- Around line 430-434: Update the retry reconciliation flow around retryDropped
and ensureObject so an enabled HTTPRouteRetries configuration with the
retry-requested annotation and Retry == nil clears the stale annotation latch
and schedules a bounded recheck when retry support may have changed. Preserve
existing Retry removal behavior when retries are disabled or retryDropped is
active, and use the controller’s existing annotation-update and requeue
mechanisms.

In `@Makefile`:
- Around line 280-282: The install-helm target must require Helm v3.19.0 rather
than accepting any executable. Update the Helm bootstrap to verify the installed
helm version, download the installer from the pinned v3.19.0 reference, validate
the downloaded script against a pinned checksum before execution, and then
verify helm version again after installation.

In `@test/chart/chart_test.go`:
- Around line 92-94: Update the disabled-mode assertion in the test around mode
and joined to verify the exact --metrics-bind-address=0 argument rather than
using strings.Contains, so values such as 0.0.0.0:8443 do not satisfy the check.

294-295: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Require an image tag or handle untagged image references.

When IMG=registry.example/controller, both expansions return the full reference. The chart then renders registry.example/controller:registry.example/controller, which is invalid. Tagged references with registry ports, such as registry.example:5000/controller:v1, are parsed correctly.

Reject an IMG value without an explicit tag:

Proposed fix
 	task_image="$(IMG)"; $(HELM) upgrade --install $(HELM_RELEASE) $(HELM_CHART_DIR) \
 		--namespace $(HELM_NAMESPACE) \
 		--create-namespace \
+		$(if $(findstring :,$(notdir $(IMG))),,$(error IMG must include an explicit image tag)) \
 		--set controllerManager.container.image.repository="$${task_image%:*}" \
