… Nemotron profile Adds two ways to model a degraded telemetry backend so the BYOO collector's memory behavior can be sized against the Nemotron Ultra shape: - --backpressure deletes the OTLP sink pod after the collector is ready (keeps the Service) so the exporter cannot drain and its retry/sending_queue fills with chunked payloads (backend outage). - --sink-cpu-limit / --sink-memory-limit throttle the sink so it drains slowly while staying up (backend slow but alive); the sink readiness probe is relaxed so a CPU-starved sink still joins the Service. Also corrects the nemotron profile rate to the prod-observed ~40 rec/s (was 6/s from a static dump) and adds spec.CollectorImageProdHotfix for the 0.126.31 sidecar line prod rolled back to. Includes unit tests for the new sink resource overrides, DeletePod, and the nemotron profile. Signed-off-by: shobham <shobham@nvidia.com>

Bound LogBodyBytes before creating the body argument.
LogBodyBytes has no maximum. A large value makes strings.Repeat allocate before Kubernetes receives the Job. It can exhaust memory or create a --body argument that the container process cannot start.
Apply a body-size limit at option validation. Apply the same limit defensively in jobShaped. Add tests for the accepted maximum and an oversized value.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Handle NaN before calculating bimodal rates.
When LargeRecordFraction is NaN, both range comparisons are false. largeRate then becomes NaN, and the generated Job receives --rate NaN.
Reject NaN at the option boundary. Normalize it defensively before rate arithmetic. Add a test that verifies no Job contains a non-finite rate.

TL;DR
Extends the BYOO perf suite so we can size the collector against the Nemotron Ultra log shape under a degraded telemetry backend. Adds two knobs to model backend degradation, corrects the Nemotron profile to the prod-observed rate, and pins the prod-hotfix collector image as an option.
Additional Details
The Nemotron Ultra incident showed the collector OOMing when its exporter could not drain (backend slow/unavailable) and chunked payloads accumulated off-heap faster than
memory_limiter(heap-only, 1s interval) could react. To reproduce and size against that, this PR adds:--backpressure: after the collector is ready, delete the OTLP sink pod but keep its Service, so the export target resolves but refuses connections. The exporter's retry/sending_queue fills with chunked payloads (models a backend outage).--sink-cpu-limit/--sink-memory-limit: throttle the sink so it drains slowly while staying up (models a backend slow but alive). The sink readiness probe is relaxed so a CPU-starved sink still joins the Service.pkg/sink:sinkResources()applies the CPU/memory caps; unbounded by default (unchanged behavior).pkg/deploy:DeletePod()(not-found tolerant) used by--backpressure.It also corrects the
nemotronprofile rate to the prod-observed ~40 rec/s (previously 6/s, derived from a static dump that undercounted the live stream), and addsspec.CollectorImageProdHotfixfor the0.126.31sidecar line prod rolled back to (pass via--collector-image).Together with the existing
--log-chunkingand--collector-memory-limitknobs, this lets the suite sweep the memory cap and observe whether the collector OOMs or backpressures the source under a realistic Ultra shape.For the Reviewer
