Walkthrough

The change adds amd64 and arm64 image builds, architecture-aware agent binaries and CUDA assets, and configurable chart scheduling for supported GPU-node architectures.

Changes

Multi-architecture support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Multi-architecture build orchestration
.github/workflows/ci.yml, .github/workflows/push-artifacts.yaml, Makefile, agent/Makefile
CI and artifact workflows build amd64 and arm64 images. Make targets pass architecture-specific Docker and Go settings.
Architecture-aware agent image
agent/Dockerfile, agent/compliance/collect-sources.sh
The agent image validates amd64 and arm64 base images, captures the package baseline from the selected base stage, selects architecture-specific CUDA checkpoint assets, and validates the built binaries.
Configurable chart architecture scheduling
charts/snapshot/values.yaml, charts/snapshot/templates/daemonset.yaml, charts/snapshot/templates/seccomp-configmap.yaml, charts/snapshot/tests/daemonset_test.yaml, charts/snapshot/README.md
The chart supports configurable amd64 and arm64 scheduling, validates architecture values, supports caller-managed affinity when disabled, and adds AArch64 seccomp coverage and documentation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 02b14

The arm64 changes introduce concrete failure modes in Helm rendering, multi-platform publishing, CI validation, and agent image construction. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded build and deployment risks are addressed or explicitly accepted.

the Build arm64 operator image and Build arm64 agent image steps, ensuring the
full validation gate—including lint, vulnerability, Helm, and generated-file

check gate before building images, and replace its mutable action tags with
immutable commit SHAs for checkout, setup-go, and setup-buildx-action. Preserve
the existing Go version and cache configuration.

In @.github/workflows/push-artifacts.yaml:
- Line 121: Update both multi-platform build jobs in
.github/workflows/push-artifacts.yaml at lines 121-121 and 157-159 to register
arm64 QEMU/binfmt emulation before their Docker Buildx setup, using
docker/setup-qemu-action or an equivalent explicit verification that provides
arm64 emulation; ensure this applies to both build-agent and its dependent
release-helm workflow paths.

In `@agent/Dockerfile`:
- Around line 102-110: Update the package baseline capture in the RUN command to
write dpkg-query output to a temporary file before sorting, so its exit status
is checked directly under set -e; only sort the successfully generated temporary
output into /base-packages.tsv, then retain the existing non-empty and
four-column validation.

In `@charts/snapshot/templates/daemonset.yaml`:
- Around line 66-68: Remove the unconditional rendering failure in the daemonset
affinity validation and preserve supplied daemonset.affinity.nodeAffinity when
supportedArchitectures uses its default. Merge the chart-generated architecture
constraint with caller-provided node-selector terms, or provide an
upgrade-compatible transition; if failure remains necessary, document explicit
migration steps in the chart README.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve existing nodeAffinity configurations.

Line 66 makes rendering fail when a release supplies daemonset.affinity.nodeAffinity and uses the default daemonset.supportedArchitectures. This converts an existing values override into a failed Helm upgrade. Merge the architecture constraint with caller node-selector terms, or introduce an upgrade-compatible transition. Update charts/snapshot/README.md with an explicit migration procedure if this breaking behavior is required.

@lrbison, acknowledged. The finding remains open because the chart can reject an existing daemonset.affinity.nodeAffinity override during upgrade.
