📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds ADR-020 for per-invocation isolation of snapshot and validation runs. The design defines shared run IDs, run-scoped resource names and labels, Job-UID-based pod selection, UID-preconditioned cleanup, resource classifications, configuration and policy updates, rejected alternatives, and implementation and test deliverables. Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds design documentation only, so it does not change running systems directly. However, the ADR still contains conflicting collision guidance and unresolved resource ownership, identity-matching, run-ID, and success-contract details; implementing it as written could permit destructive overwrites, leaked staging resources, or incorrect pod association. Merge should wait until the design text is reconciled. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

In `@docs/design/021-snapshot-agent-run-isolation.md`:
- Around line 112-113: Update the deletion invariant in the snapshot isolation
design documentation to scope it to normal run cleanup, explicitly identifying
legacy unlabeled aicr-node-reader pair deletion by tools/cleanup as a migration
exception and documenting its exact safety guards.
- Around line 204-207: Update the compatibility claims in the design document to
acknowledge the documented behavior changes: duplicate pinned RunID values may
return ErrCodeInternal, and bare ServiceAccount adoption behavior changes.
Replace the assertion that no new failure modes or error codes are introduced
with accurate migration and error-handling behavior.
- Around line 10-16: Update the collision-guarantee statement to apply only to
run-owned Kubernetes objects; clarify that Namespace and delivered output
ConfigMap objects remain shared and are not assigned run-specific names.
- Around line 143-151: Update GetSnapshot to retain the staging ConfigMap UID
and add it to Cleanup’s deletion record before deleting the ConfigMap. Delete it
with metav1.DeleteOptions containing a UID precondition, and ignore UID
mismatches as already replaced resources not owned by this run.
- Around line 257-263: Generate a single validation run ID before snapshot
collection in the aicr validate flow, then propagate it through
AgentConfig.RunID and WithValidationRunID into runValidation. Remove or bypass
the later ID generation in runValidation so agent collection, naming, labels,
logs, selectors, and cleanup all use the same ID.
- Around line 133-139: Update findPodName and findOrWatchPodName to require a
controller=true ownerReference with kind Job and the recorded Job UID, while
retaining the existing label filters and tie-breakers. Add tests covering forged
labels and mismatched owner UIDs, and enforce adversarial namespace isolation
through RBAC or admission controls rather than relying on ownerReferences alone.
- Around line 59-68: Define AgentConfig.RunID so an empty value generates a run
ID, while any non-empty value must match the 32-character YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-16
lowercase hex format and be rejected before resource creation otherwise. Update
GenerateRunID to format its timestamp in UTC, preserving the shared run-ID
generation flow.

The documented run ID contains 16 hexadecimal characters, which equals 8 bytes. Line 98 incorrectly describes a 16-byte random collision. Use “16-hex-character suffix collision” or change the run-ID format and all length calculations together.

- Around line 223-225: The unconditional success guarantee in the invocation
compatibility statement conflicts with the documented duplicate RunID rejection.
Qualify it to apply only to generated, non-colliding IDs with valid prefixes, or
explicitly list duplicate injected RunIDs and other documented rejection cases
as exceptions.

| **Why the staging ConfigMap prefix is `aicr-agent-snapshot-`, not `aicr-snapshot-`.** | ||

Clarify the collision semantics in this section. Retain the unconditional same-namespace statement for aicr validate, since both components receive the same namespace, but explicitly distinguish legacy validator behavior that may overwrite from the proposed behavior, which must fail when an object already exists. As written, the conflicting guidance can lead implementers to preserve destructive updates.

Summary
Adds ADR-021, recording the design for isolating concurrent snapshot agent runs: every run generates a run ID, user-supplied resource names become prefixes, and every object falls into one of three lifecycle classes.
Motivation / Context
Client.CollectSnapshotdocuments concurrent calls as safe and independent, but every run builds the same fixed object names and the paths that create them are destructive.pkg/validatoralready solved this for validation Jobs; the snapshot agent predates that work and never adopted it.This ADR is documentation only — no implementation. Requested during review of the design proposal on the issue.
Fixes: N/A

No code changes in this PR. The ADR itself records decisions that will be breaking when implemented — object names stop being predictable, and
job-name-keyed selectors (including theaicr-agentNetworkPolicy indocs/integrator/automation.md) stop matching. Those are enumerated under Consequences → Negative, along with the stableapp.kubernetes.io/component: snapshot-agentlabel that replaces them.Numbered 021 because
