Summary

Adds readinessConstraints to profile values (ADR-015): per-value constraints that are validated at catalog load like constraints, but never evaluated at generation time — they route into spec.validation.readiness.constraints and are evaluated fail closed by the aicr validate readiness pre-flight.

Motivation / Context

Some profile values are distinguishable only by deployment-created state, which cannot be declared today: profile-value constraints are evaluated at snapshot-based generation (applyEffectiveProfile), where such a signal cannot yet exist, and the overlay-level spec.validation.readiness.constraints cannot vary per value.

The first consumer is the OKE gpuStack family (follow-up PR): its three values are three distinct production pool shapes (Oracle image + OKE plugin / Oracle image + operator plugin / operator-managed everything), so no ambiguous sibling can be withdrawn — and operator-plugin vs operator-managed has a destroyed-by-success structure (a generation-time "no driver loaded" gate would fail every post-deployment validate on a healthy cluster). The durable distinguishers are the deployed ClusterPolicy readings (K8s.policy.driver.enabled, K8s.policy.devicePlugin.enabled) — readiness-scoped by necessity.

History: this mechanism was originally motivated by GKE's DD5 ownership marker. That need was since resolved differently — the ambiguous GKE sibling value was withdrawn (see the stacked GKE PR) — but the mechanism stands on the OKE requirement, and the ADR DD5 amendment in the stacked PR records both outcomes.

Fixes: N/A
Related: #1716, #2344

Type of Change

  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)

Component(s) Affected

  • Recipe engine / data (pkg/recipe)
  • Docs/examples (docs/, examples/)

Implementation Notes

  • Names deduplicate per phase, not across lists: constraint names are measurement paths, and the DD5 shape needs the same path (NodeTopology.gpu-nodes.label) at generation (pool pre-condition) and at readiness (post-deployment marker). A repeat within a list stays rejected; readiness collisions are checked against the readiness phase only.
  • applyEffectiveProfile routes them into spec.validation.readiness.constraints with the same collision rules as generation-time constraints (against the composed recipe's constraint names and any pre-existing readiness constraints), and clones ValidationConfig before mutating — the merged spec may alias a cached overlay's pointer.
  • The fix(recipe): validate constraint measurement paths at load time #2126 catalog-load path validation covers the new list (spec.profile.values.<value>.readinessConstraints[i] in diagnostics).
  • No recipe-data changes: no embedded declaration uses the field yet, so goldens, digests, and committed evidence are byte-identical.
  • ADR-015 amended in the same PR: DD5 resolution direction, plus a correction to the operator-selfdriver sketch — the component gate must be a nested key (installer.enabled), not the top-level install originally drawn, which is a component-presence gate and would deadlock profile resolution.

Testing

make qualify
go test ./pkg/recipe/... -count=1        # all green
golangci-lint run -c .golangci.yaml ./pkg/recipe/...   # 0 issues

New tests: pkg/recipe/profile_readiness_test.go — catalog-load validation (empty name/value, duplicates within and across lists), resolution routing (readiness never generation-evaluated, lands in validation.readiness, collision with composed recipe and with pre-existing readiness constraints rejected, no aliasing of a cached ValidationConfig), and the #2126 location diagnostic.

Coverage: pkg/recipe 89.4% → 89.5% (+0.1%).

Risk Assessment

  • Low — Isolated change, well-tested, easy to revert

Rollout notes: Additive schema field; unused by any embedded declaration until the follow-up PR. Strict decoding means older aicr versions reject a catalog that uses the field — first consumer ships with the binary that understands it.

Checklist

  • Tests pass locally (make test with -race)
  • Linter passes (make lint)
  • I did not skip/disable tests to make CI green
  • I added/updated tests for new functionality
  • I updated docs if user-facing behavior changed
  • Changes follow existing patterns in the codebase
  • Commits are cryptographically signed (git commit -S)

A profile value's distinguishing signal can be a post-deployment property
(ADR-015 Deferred Decision 5): something the value's own deployment creates,
such as a node label its installer DaemonSet applies. Such a signal cannot be
declared today — profile-value constraints are evaluated at snapshot-based
generation, where the property cannot yet exist, and the overlay-level
readiness block cannot vary per value.

Add ProfileValue.readinessConstraints:

- validated at catalog load like constraints (non-empty name/value, per-list
  dedupe) and covered by the measurement-path gate, reported as
  spec.profile.values.<value>.readinessConstraints[i]
- never evaluated at generation: applyEffectiveProfile routes the selected
  value's list into spec.validation.readiness.constraints, where the
  aicr validate readiness pre-flight evaluates it fail closed
- names deduplicate per phase: the same measurement path may carry a
  generation-time pre-condition and a readiness-time post-deployment state
  (the DD5 shape reads NodeTopology.gpu-nodes.label in both phases)
- ValidationConfig is cloned before mutation so a cached overlay's pointer
  is never aliased

No embedded declaration uses the field yet, so resolved recipes, digests,
and committed evidence are byte-identical. ADR-015 is amended with the DD5
resolution direction and a correction to the operator-selfdriver sketch:
the component gate must be a nested key (installer.enabled), not top-level
install, which is a component-presence gate and would deadlock resolution.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The profile contract adds readinessConstraints as a separate constraint list. Declaration and catalog-path validation cover both constraint phases. Profile resolution excludes readiness constraints from generation-time evaluation and routes them to cloned or newly initialized readiness validation, with collision checks. Documentation updates describe the routing behavior and nested GKE installer gates. Tests cover validation, routing, copying, collisions, and path errors.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9d8f6

This additive change introduces per-value readiness constraints without changing existing embedded recipe behavior, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

hyphenated as a compound modifier.

One issue in the amended ADR example — details inline. Nothing structural; the mechanism itself reads right to me.

Flagging a direction question that bears on this PR's motivation — raised in more detail on #2348.

If we drop the driver-installer gpuStack value rather than keep it (its driver comes from an out-of-band DaemonSet the recipe can neither own nor verify), then DD5 dissolves along with it. driver-installer and operator-selfdriver are indistinguishable pre-deployment only because they share gke-no-default-nvidia-gpu-device-plugin=true; with one removed, gke-default (label absent) versus the remaining value (label present) is decidable at generation from the snapshot.

That doesn't invalidate readinessConstraints as a mechanism — a validate-time-only constraint may still earn its place — but it does mean the DD5 rationale in this PR's body and in the ADR amendment would no longer hold. Worth settling the direction before more review effort goes in, rather than after.

My line comment above stands either way: the ADR example's union-totality issue is independent of this.

@yuanchen8911

Updating this now that the stack has been reworked. With GKE decoupled, #2355 is readinessConstraints' only proposed consumer — and I've raised a structural concern on that PR: its K8s.policy.* readiness constraints are rendered by the selected bundle itself, so each value satisfies its own constraints regardless of external cluster state. If that holds, the mechanism's sole remaining justification needs rework before this merges ahead of it.

Not arguing the mechanism is wrong — a validate-time-only constraint is a reasonable thing to have. But this PR's body and ADR amendment still carry the GKE/DD5 rationale, which no longer applies, and the replacement rationale is the one under discussion on #2355. Worth settling that before this lands, since it merges first.

The union-totality comment above is independent and stands either way.

Address review: the amended example broke the union-totality rule this PR
introduces — operator-selfdriver owned the nested installer.enabled while
operator and csp-managed still drew the top-level install. All three
drawn values now own installer.enabled, and the ownedPaths example
records the nested path.

The mechanism amendment no longer carries the GKE marker rationale
(settled separately by value replacement) and instead records the two
rules that govern readinessConstraints use: the self-falsifying
pre-condition trap (a pre-condition the value's success erases must not
be a generation constraint, since those are re-evaluated at validate),
and that self-rendered readings (deployed ClusterPolicy fields) are
drift checks, not qualification — a value's distinguishing constraint
must read cluster state independent of the bundle's own output.

Round addressed in 9ed09df: the union-totality break in the amended example is fixed (all three drawn values own the nested installer.enabled; ownedPaths example corrected), and the mechanism amendment no longer carries the GKE/DD5 rationale — it now records the two use-rules from your #2355 review (self-falsifying pre-conditions; self-rendered readings are drift checks, not qualification). On sequencing: agreed this shouldn't merge ahead of a settled #2355 justification — I've laid out the qualification options on your #2355 thread and will rework that draft per your pick; this PR's mechanism text is now consumer-neutral either way.

📋 Multi-persona review — 4 persona passes (Correctness, Domain/Architecture, Test-coverage, Docs), each finding independently confirmed or refuted by a senior meta-reviewer against the resolved code. Line links pinned to head 9d8f6b47.

Tier legend: 🔴 Blocker · 🟠 Major · 🟡 Minor · 🔵 Nitpick · ✅ Confirmed non-issue

Prior reviewers: @yuanchen8911's union-totality finding on the ADR sketch was real and is now fixed at head (9ed09df / 9d8f6b4) — re-verified. CodeRabbit's items are addressed or reasonably declined.

Overall assessment — Approve with comments

This is a high-quality, tightly-scoped additive change. The mechanism is correctly built: applyEffectiveProfile routes readinessConstraints into spec.validation.readiness.constraints with a separate per-phase collision map, never invokes the generation evaluator on them (test-proven), and checkReadiness evaluates them fail-closed. Catalog-load path validation and the #2126 diagnostic both cover the new list; the clone-before-mutate deep-copies correctly; and no recipe data changes, so goldens/digests/evidence are genuinely byte-identical. Nothing blocks merge or CI. The one substantive finding is a PR-body prose contradiction — the OKE motivation cites the exact distinguisher pattern the PR's own ADR rule disqualifies — but it doesn't touch the merged artifact and the ADR text itself is self-consistent.

✅ Confirmed non-issues (checked and cleared)

  • Aliasing guard is soundcloneValidationPhase does make+copy on Constraints, and Constraint is a pure value struct → full deep copy; the append can't mutate a cached overlay.
  • Union totality / lock surfacereadinessConstraints correctly do not contribute to ownedPaths; consistent with per-value constraints. No path is locked by a readiness constraint.
  • Determinism — readiness append order is deterministic (overlay-merge order + declaration slice order); no digest or sort.StringsAreSorted consumer requires them sorted.
  • Strict-decode contract — the struct field is the allowlist (KnownFields(true)); docs/contributor/recipe.md updated to list readinessConstraints.
  • Routing target actually consumedvalidation.readiness.constraints is evaluated fail-closed by checkReadiness (validator.go:56,296,407).
  • Catalog-load path validation — covers spec.profile.values.<v>.readinessConstraints (constraint_paths.go:100).
  • ADR sketch at head is union-total & consistent — all three drawn values own installer.enabled + devicePlugin.enabled; no stale top-level install: YAML key; ownedPaths records [enabled, installer.enabled].
  • Docs "fail-closed" hyphenation (flagged by a persona/CodeRabbit) — refuted: hyphenated is the plurality form in docs/** (46 vs 31), not an outlier.
  • Tests passgo test ./pkg/recipe/... -run 'Readiness|ProfileReadiness' → PASS.

🟡 Minor — PR-body OKE motivation contradicts the self-rendered-readings rule this PR adds

The PR-body Motivation names OKE's durable distinguishers as "the deployed ClusterPolicy readings (K8s.policy.driver.enabled, K8s.policy.devicePlugin.enabled)", but the ADR rule this same PR adds (this line) disqualifies exactly that: a reading the selected bundle itself renders ("e.g. deployed ClusterPolicy fields") is satisfied by construction under every value and cannot distinguish. Verified: K8s.policy.driver.enabled reads ClusterPolicy .spec (pkg/collector/k8s/policy.go:132), not .status — so it's purely self-rendered and can't fail-closed on a wrong-value selection (each value's own bundle renders the .spec it then reads back).

Blast radius: None on this PR (additive, unused, byte-identical goldens; the mechanism's valid leg — the self-falsifying-precondition trap, "no driver loaded" erased by success — justifies it independently, and the ADR text is internally consistent). It's a coherence gap in the justification and a trap for the follow-up OKE PR, which will hit this rule at catalog load.

Fix: In the PR body, repoint OKE's stated distinguisher at bundle-independent cluster state (a provisioning-set node label or provider property) — which the ADR carve-out and DD5.5 already prescribe. No ADR/code change needed.

🟡 Minor — No end-to-end test for the DD5 same-name-in-both-phases invariant

This routing block plus the two independent collision maps (constraintNames vs readinessNames) exist so one value can carry the same measurement path in both its own constraints (generation) and readinessConstraints (readiness). No test drives that literal shape — the closest case reuses a composed-recipe constraint name, not the value's own generation constraint.

Blast radius: Low today (the maps are provably independent), but this is the marquee invariant the PR exists to enable; a future refactor merging the two maps would pass every current test and silently break it.

Fix: Add a readinessDecl variant where readiness carries the same name as the value's own generation constraint; assert gen-X lands in spec.Constraints (and is evaluated), readiness-X lands in Validation.Readiness (and is not), with no false collision.

🔵 Nitpick — Clone-before-append is defensively redundant; comment overstates the aliasing risk

Both callers already hand in a mergedSpec whose Validation is deep-cloned (initBaseMergedSpec, RecipeMetadataSpec.Merge), and cloneValidationPhase does a real make+copy of the Constraints slice — so mergedSpec.Validation.Readiness can't alias cached metadata here. The comment's analogy is imperfect: Overrides genuinely alias (a shallow struct copy shares the map), whereas Validation is genuinely deep-cloned.

Blast radius: None — harmless defensive hardening; safe to keep. Only the comment is slightly overstated.

Fix: Optional: soften the comment to "defensive clone; callers already deep-clone Validation."

// a generation-time pre-condition AND a readiness-time post-deployment

🔵 Nitpick — Empty-ReadinessConstraints guard has no negative assertion

The len(value.ReadinessConstraints) > 0 guard is self-evidently correct, but no test asserts that an empty list leaves mergedSpec.Validation untouched (no spurious clone, no empty Readiness phase synthesized).

Blast radius: Low; a regression could synthesize an empty Readiness phase onto recipes that declared none, perturbing downstream validation/serialization.

Fix: Call applyEffectiveProfile with a value that has no readiness constraints and spec.Validation == nil; assert spec.Validation stays nil. Cheap if you add the same-name-both-phases test anyway.

🔵 Nitpick — No YAML round-trip test for the readinessConstraints struct tag

No test deserializes readinessConstraints from YAML, so a struct-tag typo isn't caught at this seam.

Blast radius: Largely mitigated already: profiled artifacts decode under KnownFields(true), so a typo'd tag would make a real readinessConstraints: key an unknown field → hard reject at load (fail-loud), not a silent drop.

Fix: Optional round-trip assertion on a ProfileValue with readinessConstraints:. Low priority.
