WalkthroughThe pull request adds a design for a node-side snapshot restore compatibility checker. It defines manifest facts, two restore validation gates, incompatibility signaling, retry suppression, bypass controls, operational handling, testing, and rollout procedures. ChangesSnapshot restore compatibility
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This docs-only PR adds a restore compatibility checker design, but several concrete contracts remain unresolved, including fail-open handling, data-source identity, deterministic comparison, rollout/status persistence, retry behavior, and devices schema handling. These gaps could allow incompatible restores or lost status when implemented, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are addressed or explicitly accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Inline comments:
In `@docs/design/restore-compatibility-checker.md`:
- Around line 351-364: Update the restore compatibility record and Gate B volume
validation so each expected volume is compared by stable identity and mount
attributes, not merely by mount path; include values such as PVC UID or volume
source, mount path, and read-only mode, and reject with the existing explanation
when any differ.
- Around line 447-453: Update the restore compatibility checker design around
the manifest handling and outcomes to define an explicit schema version and
completeness marker. Permit missing fields only for recognized legacy manifest
versions; classify unreadable, truncated, incomplete, or unavailable discovery
data as Unknown or an error rather than silently skipping it, and ensure that
outcome blocks restore.
- Around line 302-324: Update the Gate A flow to evaluate the documented
ConfigMap/Pod bypass switches and restore-attempt identity before honoring an
existing SnapshotRestoreCompatible=False suppression, or define an explicit
clear-and-retry operation. Ensure enabling a bypass or retrying after node
remediation reaches SKIPPED or re-evaluates compatibility, and document/test the
recovery behavior in the affected sections.
- Around line 224-235: Expand the restore compatibility design around the
podInfo and NVIDIA gate descriptions to define per-field comparison rules:
specify whether image tags, imageDigest, resource quantities, driver versions,
and GPU product names use exact or minimum matching, including quantity
normalization; and document deterministic GPU pairing, including ordering
requirements or an explicit sorting strategy. Align the contract with the
restore path’s positional GPU pairing so target ordering cannot remain
ambiguous.
- Around line 437-439: Update the privacy assessment in the design’s Pod
condition and Event sections to address host and workload facts exposed as
compared values. Define the intended audience and required tenant/RBAC boundary,
and specify redaction of raw values where that boundary is insufficient; ensure
the assessment no longer claims all values are already visible to Pod readers.
- Around line 412-414: Update the restore compatibility design around the
rejection identifiers to define one shared machine-readable incompatibility
code, while keeping Event reason, condition Reason, and log reason as distinct
display/context fields. Add a representative example payload for each surface
showing the shared code and its corresponding display fields, and ensure the
retry-loop behavior remains unchanged.
- Around line 536-539: Update the restore compatibility checker’s
retry-suppression flow to handle denied or transient Pod status updates without
repeatedly rejecting the same incompatible Pod. Add a durable fallback or
explicit terminal handling path beyond diagnostic Events and logs, and cover
both denied and transient status-patch outcomes in tests. Anchor the changes to
the checker’s Pod condition/status patch handling described in the restore
design.
- Around line 200-202: Update the restore compatibility checker design to define
exact keys for the per-pod annotation and node-wide ConfigMap field, accepted
values, precedence when both are set, and behavior for invalid values. Specify
how a running agent reloads w.config to apply ConfigMap changes, or explicitly
require an agent restart instead.
- Around line 275-295: Update the restore compatibility design around Gate A and
Gate B to define durable terminal cleanup: Gate A failures must persist an
explicit terminal state and clean up the standby container, while Gate B
failures must use the existing failure path to set restore status to failed,
release restoreAttemptKey, and kill the placeholder. Specify that both cleanup
paths are idempotent and that reconciliation handles
SnapshotRestoreCompatible=False.
- Around line 173-177: Document an ordered status.source rollout in the restore
compatibility design: upgrade the CRD before deploying agents, explicitly cover
the crdUpgrade.enabled=false configuration, and require testing that agents do
not write status.source until the new schema is active. Reference the
crd-installer, agent DaemonSet, and PodSnapshotContent status.source behavior.

Kubernetes official documentation CRD structural schema unknown fields pruning status update server-side apply
💡 Result:
In Kubernetes CustomResourceDefinitions (CRDs), pruning and server-side apply handle unknown fields based on the presence of a structural schema and specific configuration settings [1][2][3]. Field Pruning Behavior Pruning is the process where fields not defined in the CRD's OpenAPI structural schema are removed before the object is persisted to etcd [3]. - Default Behavior: For CRDs using the apiextensions.k8s.io/v1 API, pruning is enabled by default [4][3]. Any field sent to the API server that is not explicitly defined in the structural schema is stripped away [1][3]. - Opting Out: You can prevent the pruning of specific sub-trees by adding x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields: true to the structural OpenAPI v3 validation schema [5][3]. When this is set, the API server stops the pruning process for that field and its children, recursively [2][5]. - Legacy CRDs: CRDs originally created with apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1 may have spec.preserveUnknownFields set to true, which globally disables pruning for that resource [5][3]. This field is deprecated in favor of the granular x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields extension [5]. Server-Side Apply (SSA) and Unknown Fields Server-Side Apply operates by merging incoming objects with the live state on the server [6][7]. - Schema Validation: SSA performs schema validation during the apply process [7]. If you attempt to apply a field that is not defined in the CRD's current schema, the API server will reject the request with an error [7][8]. - Interaction with Pruning: While pruning removes unknown fields upon persistence, SSA validation checks for unknown fields during the decoding and application phase [7]. If a resource is configured to preserve unknown fields (via x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields), SSA will allow those fields to pass through and be managed, provided they are not strictly rejected by other validation mechanisms [2][3]. - Field Validation Parameter: Users can control how the API server handles unknown fields during requests (including POST, PUT, and PATCH) by using the fieldValidation query parameter [5][7]. The valid values are: - Ignore: Unknown fields are silently dropped (default behavior prior to newer versions) [5]. - Warn: The API server sends a warning header for unknown fields but allows the request to succeed [5]. - Strict: The API server rejects the request if any unknown fields are present [5]. In summary, pruning is an automatic persistence-layer cleanup for undeclared fields [3], while Server-Side Apply enforces schema integrity by default, requiring that all fields in a patch exist in the structural schema [7][8]. If you need to store arbitrary, evolving data, the appropriate approach is to use x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields in your structural schema to exempt those areas from pruning [3].

Define an ordered status.source rollout.
The crd-installer runs only in the operator Deployment. The agent DaemonSet can roll before that init container completes. If the new agent writes status.source while the old CRD schema is active, Kubernetes prunes the unknown field, and the completed capture does not republish it. Document and test a CRD-first rollout, including crdUpgrade.enabled=false, then roll the agents.

Define bypass keys and reload semantics.
The design names a Pod annotation and a ConfigMap field but does not specify their keys, accepted values, precedence, or invalid-value behavior. It also promises live ConfigMap effect without defining how a running agent reloads w.config. Add exact keys and reload behavior, or state that an agent restart is required.

Specify comparison and GPU-pairing rules.
The design records both image and imageDigest, resource quantities, and a GPU product-name list. The gate descriptions only specify differs, too small, and a driver “floor.” They do not define digest versus tag comparison, quantity normalization, exact versus minimum rules, or GPU list ordering. The current restore path documents positional GPU pairing, so target ordering can affect the result. Add a per-field comparator and deterministic device-pairing contract.

Kubernetes official documentation Pod custom conditions readiness gates custom PodCondition does not terminate containers
💡 Result:
Pod readiness gates and custom PodConditions do not terminate or prevent the termination of containers in a Pod [1][2][3]. Readiness gates are designed exclusively to influence the Pod's Ready status by adding additional criteria that must be satisfied before the kubelet marks the Pod as Ready [1][2]. Specifically, a Pod is considered ready only when all its containers pass their readiness probes and all conditions specified in the readinessGates list are set to True [1][3][4]. Key points regarding their behavior: - Termination Control: Readiness gates have no effect on container lifecycle events such as startup, restart, or termination [1][5]. They do not stop or prevent a Pod from being deleted or terminated by the Kubernetes API [5][6]. - Status Dependency: If a readiness gate is missing or set to False, the Pod's Ready condition is marked as False [1][2], but the containers themselves continue to run unless otherwise managed by the controller or system [1][3]. - Controller Responsibility: Custom PodConditions are managed by external controllers or operators that observe the Pod and update its status via the API (using a PATCH action) [1][7][8]. These controllers are responsible for the logic that defines when a condition is met; they do not control the container process directly through these gates [7][3]. If you are observing that a Pod does not terminate when expected, this is likely due to the Pod's terminationGracePeriodSeconds, which dictates how long a Pod remains in the Terminating phase to allow containers to shut down gracefully (including running any preStop lifecycle hooks), regardless of the Pod's readiness state [5][6].

Define terminal cleanup for both compatibility gates.
SnapshotRestoreCompatible=False does not terminate the standby container, and the current reconciliation path does not read this condition. Gate A therefore needs an explicit durable terminal state and container cleanup. Gate B must state that it uses the existing failure path: set restore status to failed, release restoreAttemptKey, kill the placeholder, and make cleanup idempotent.

Make incompatibility suppression recoverable.
Gate A checks SnapshotRestoreCompatible=False before checking either bypass switch. After a false positive, enabling the documented ConfigMap or Pod bypass cannot reach SKIPPED, and a repaired node is never re-evaluated. Define a clear-and-retry operation or evaluate bypass and attempt identity before suppression. Test recovery after node remediation.

Compare volume identity, not only mount paths.
The record is described as storing volume paths, while Gate B only checks whether each path is mounted. A different PVC, host path, or volume instance at the same path can pass the check while the restored process reads different data. Record and compare stable volume identity and mount attributes, such as PVC UID, volume source, mount path, and read-only mode.

Align rejection identifiers across surfaces.
The document says one reason string is written everywhere, but it defines Event reason RestoreIncompatible, condition Reason as the check identifier, and log field reason. Define a shared machine-readable code with separate display fields and provide one example payload for each surface.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Correct the privacy assessment for compared values.
The design publishes compared values in Pod conditions and states that they are already visible to Pod readers. The source data includes host and workload facts that are not all present on the restore Pod today. This creates additional host-fingerprint disclosure. Define the intended audience, redact raw values, or document the required tenant and RBAC boundary.

Distinguish legacy omissions from invalid or unavailable facts.
The design skips missing fields and unavailable GPU facts. A truncated manifest or transient discovery failure is therefore treated like a legacy snapshot with intentionally absent fields. The checker can proceed without the protection it is intended to provide. Add an explicit manifest schema, version, and completeness marker. Allow skips only for known legacy versions. Define an Unknown or error outcome for unreadable or partial data.

Prevent status-write failure from recreating the retry loop.
The condition is the only durable retry-suppression state described. If the agent cannot patch pods/status, the same incompatible Pod can be rejected on every reconcile, producing repeated Events and logs. The listed Event and log fallback is diagnostic only. Define a durable fallback or explicit terminal handling path, and test denied and transient status updates.

use one consistent OpenAPI shape: explicitly define the canonical and allowed
vendor keys, state how the schema evolves, and specify behavior for unknown
vendors. Align the example and prose, and remove the extension-point claim
unless future vendor fields are preserved and validated by the schema.
- Around line 221-223: Define instances as only the GPUs allocated to the source
Pod, filtering the source node’s ResourceSlice devices using Pod-specific DRA
allocation results. Document and implement the capture-time lookup, restore-side
scope, and explicit behavior when allocation identity is unavailable, then apply
the same contract to the manifest.yaml facts consumed by Gate B.
