Description

ClusterObjectSets in the same group can currently use different names for the same revision number. Require metadata.name to be <spec.group>-<spec.revision>, using decimal revision numbers without leading zeros, so Kubernetes name uniqueness also enforces revision uniqueness within each group. Admission validates the final name, including when metadata.generateName is used.

Limit revisions to 1..9999999999. With a group of up to 52 characters, the canonical name then fits within a 63-character label value. When a group reaches the limit, operator-controller rejects a new revision before pruning history or creating Secrets and ClusterObjectSets. Unchanged content can still reconcile at the limit.

This tightens the experimental ClusterObjectSet API. Update admission and applier boundary tests, standalone fixtures, concept documentation, and generated experimental manifests.

Validation

  • make test-unit (including race detection)
  • make lint
  • make lint-api-diff BASELINE_BRANCH=origin/main (no new issues)
  • make generate manifests crd-ref-docs
  • make verify
  • 33 targeted end-to-end scenarios passed on a fresh experimental KIND cluster, covering group handoff and pruning, revisions, collision and adoption, static and dry-run preflight checks, install, update, and uninstall.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • ClusterObjectSet names must explicitly follow <group>-<revision>.
    • Revisions range from 1–9,999,999,999, use decimal formatting without leading zeros, and remain unique within each group.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Revision allocation now reports an error when the maximum value is exhausted, without mutating resources.
    • Unchanged content continues reconciling at the maximum revision.
  • Documentation

    • Updated resource documentation, examples, and validation descriptions to reflect the revised naming and revision limits.
    • Clarified that generated names are unsupported.

📝 Walkthrough

The changes define canonical ClusterObjectSet names and cap revisions at 9,999,999,999. They add API and CRD validation, stop revision creation at the limit, and update documentation, generated configurations, and test fixtures.

Changes: ClusterObjectSet Revision Contract

Layer / File(s) Summary
API validation and revision bounds
api/v1/clusterobjectset_types.go, api/v1/clusterobjectset_types_test.go, api/v1/validation_test.go, api/v1/clusterobjectdeployment_types.go
The API sets the maximum revision to 9,999,999,999 and requires names to match <group>-<revision>. Tests cover revision bounds, canonical names, immutability, and validation errors.
Schemas, documentation, and fixture names
applyconfigurations/api/v1/*, helm/olmv1/base/object-controller/crd/experimental/..., manifests/experimental*.yaml, docs/draft/concepts/clusterobjectsets.md, test/e2e/features/*, test/e2e/steps/hooks.go, cmd/object-controller/main_test.go, internal/operator-controller/controllers/boxcutter_reconcile_steps_test.go
CRDs and apply configurations describe the naming format and revision range. Documentation and test fixtures use canonical revision-based names.
Revision exhaustion during creation
internal/operator-controller/applier/boxcutter.go, internal/operator-controller/applier/boxcutter_revision_bounds_test.go, internal/object-controller/controllers/clusterobjectdeployment_controller.go, internal/object-controller/controllers/clusterobjectdeployment_controller_test.go, docs/draft/concepts/clusterobjectsets.md
Revision allocation returns an error at the maximum. Tests cover final allocation, exhaustion, integer overflow, and unchanged-content reconciliation. Documentation describes the exhaustion behavior.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 11681

The revision limit stops new resource creation before making changes. Existing noncanonical ClusterObjectSets remain incompatible with the new validation rule, as explicitly accepted for this experimental API; no other actionable merge risk was established.

WDYT about using uint32 instead? Then no need for us to keep track of maximums in the CRD validation or with this const.

Yep, that was we discussed about, than I realized we could keep int64 and put a maxint. It was a "code" proposal to not change the API, not sure anyway I prefer this.
Since API is experimental we don't really care that much changing it right now, right? Also because actually a revision number IS a uint.

After investigating this option I would prefer to keep int64 and enforce the bounds explicitly.

Kubernetes API conventions recommend to "... not use unsigned integers, due to inconsistent support across languages and libraries. Just validate that the integer is non-negative if that's the case. 🔗. Also, our current controller-gen maps uint32 to OpenAPI format: int32, not an unsigned 32-bit range:

Supporting the full uint32 range would therefore require overriding the format and keeping explicit validation anyway.

Moreover, the boxcutter library uses int64 for the revision numbers too 🔗.

WDYT about separating the CE controller changes into a separate PR?

Well, the change is minimal, I would leave it in this PR... but the test is a bit more heavy I have to admit.
For now I moved CE and its test in a separate commit on top.
I'm ready to drop it and move it to another PR if you prefer.

Require ClusterObjectSet names to match <group>-<revision> so Kubernetes
name uniqueness also guarantees unique revision numbers within a group.

Limit revisions to 9999999999 so canonical names fit in label values
with groups up to 52 characters. Require callers to set names explicitly
and document that generated names are unsupported.

Exercise canonical name admission, required fields, revision bounds,
and update validation with explicit fixtures and targeted errors. Adapt
standalone fixtures and examples, and regenerate experimental artifacts.

The required field now serializes its empty string value, which admission
rejects through enum validation. Rename the case and expect the specific

Reject COD allocation at the shared revision limit before incrementing
or creating a ClusterObjectSet. Keep unchanged content reconciling at
the limit.

Cover final allocation, exhausted and oversized revision values, and
archived foreign-owned history. Document both COD and CE allocation.

Reject allocation at the revision limit before incrementing the number,

to continue reconciling at the limit.

Cover the final allowed allocation, owner-independent numbering and
exhaustion, unchanged reconciliation, and stored values that would
overflow without the guard. Keep this CE implementation separate for
the future move of revision allocation into ClusterObjectDeployment.

Added COD revision limit check and test (as a separate commit).
If needed we can move the COD and CE (the 2 on-top commits) as a separate PRs.
