Design: CaaS Add-On Operator Support

Jira: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OSAC-4090
PRD: prd.md (merged via #216)

Summary

This design introduces an AddOnOperator resource auto-discovered from Ansible
roles via the existing config-as-code pipeline, order-time validation of operator
sets (mutual exclusivity, OCP version constraints, dependency resolution), and a
separate AAP job for operator installation after cluster provisioning. Installation
status is tracked via a non-gating AddOnOperatorsReady condition on the
ClusterOrder CRD, following the ClusterStorageReady precedent.

Requesting Review On

  • Ansible-role-per-operator model vs. controller-based OLM installation (see Alternatives)
  • Auto-discovery via config-as-code pipeline — operators are unpublished by default, CPA enables via Update API
  • Separate AAP job for operator installation (not part of the main provisioning job)
  • Error reporting via result_traceback through existing JobStatus.Message path
  • Open question: should operators be published by default or require explicit CPA enablement?
  • Open question: post-install playbook failure message format
  • Open question: exclusion validation directionality (pipeline-side vs. server-side)
  • Interaction with PR OSAC-3538: Design - Catalog Items v2 Field Governance Redesign #202 (OSAC-3538, Catalog Items v2) for governed fields on ClusterCatalogItem

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 0e89e

The design changes cluster provisioning to discover, validate, and asynchronously install add-on operators, but currently leaves several high-impact behaviors unresolved, including accidental tenant visibility, dependency ordering, duplicate installations, sensitive or oversized error reporting, misleading health status, mutable operator selection, and silent loss of requests during version skew. These issues can cause incorrect or incomplete cluster configuration and make the design unsafe to merge without explicit resolution.

Explanation

PASS — The pull request adds only one Markdown design document. Precise searches of all added lines and the full document found no MD5, SHA-1, DES/3DES, RC4, Blowfish, ECB, custom crypto, or non-constant-time secret comparison. The security section only describes existing JWT, ServiceAccount-token, and kubeconfig-based authentication; it does not introduce cryptographic implementation or algorithm usage.

Full details: No-Injection-Vectors

Explanation

PASS — The pull request adds only enhancements/OSAC-4090-caas-addon-operator-support/design.md; it adds no executable implementation. The complete diff contains no SQL string concatenation, shell=True, eval/exec, pickle.loads, yaml.load, os.system, or dangerouslySetInnerHTML. The SQL references and Ansible/Jinja role notation are design text, not matches for the stated failure conditions.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

The pull request adds only enhancements/OSAC-4090-caas-addon-operator-support/design.md; it adds no container or Kubernetes manifest. The document contains none of the checked settings: privileged: true, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation: true, or a root runAs setting. References to admin_kubeconfig and cluster-admin access describe operator installation credentials, not a container privilege configuration.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

The new design forwards AAP's unfiltered result_traceback into JobStatus.Message and the AddOnOperatorsReady condition. It also directs operators to inspect AAP job logs. The new job receives admin_kubeconfig credentials and invokes extensible Ansible roles, but the design specifies no no_log handling, redaction, or tenant-safe error filtering. An Ansible traceback can therefore expose credentials, tokens, internal hostnames, or customer data through logs and tenant-visible status.

Resolution

Add a defined secret-safe logging and error-reporting contract. Mark kubeconfig, tokens, credentials, and related Ansible tasks with no_log: true. Do not copy raw result_traceback into AAP logs, JobStatus.Message, or condition messages. Sanitize failures with an allowlisted summary that contains only the operator name and a safe failure category, and redact secret-like values, hostnames, URLs, and customer identifiers. Store any detailed diagnostics only in an access-controlled location for authorized administrators. Add tests that verify representative Ansible failures cannot leak passwords, tokens, API keys, PII, session IDs, hostnames, or customer data.

AI Design Review: EP-226

Score: 6/8 | Verdict: PASS

Criterion Score Notes
Feasibility 2/2 Deep technical detail throughout. Full proto schemas for AddOnOperator, AddOnOperatorReference, AddOnOperatorLocalReference, plus ClusterCatalogItem/ClusterSpec/ClusterOrder changes with Go structs. Five-step order-time validation logic is specific (resolve, merge, dependency resolution with cycle detection, exclusion check, version constraint check). Error handling covers pipeline failure, validation failure, AAP job failure, individual operator failure, and controller restart. Risks are concrete (exclusion consistency, stale metadata, long post-install times) with specific mitigations. Drawbacks section steel-mans the Ansible-role-per-operator trade-off. Minor gaps: AddOnOperatorReference.shared field (proto line 287) is never explained; delete lifecycle for AddOnOperator itself is not described (what happens to ClusterCatalogItems/Clusters referencing a deleted operator).
Testability 1/2 Test plan describes specific scenarios at each level: 5 unit test areas (proto validation, order-time validation, dependency resolution, operator set merging, condition mapping), 4 integration scenarios (pipeline discovery, publish flow, end-to-end cluster create, validation rejection), and 4 e2e scenarios (happy path, mixed source, validation error, degraded recovery). However, the unit test section claims 'AddOnOperator fields reject empty package_name, empty channel' — but package_name and channel are explicitly NOT in the API proto (they stay in the Ansible role's meta/osac.yaml), making this test description inconsistent with the design. Graduation criteria are essentially a placeholder: 'will be defined when targeting a release' with no concrete conditions — just 'Dev Preview → Tech Preview → GA based on production deployment feedback.'
Scope 1/2 Summary is concise (3 sentences). Non-goals are specific and well-bounded (operator lifecycle, OLM in Go, non-CaaS, version pinning). Four real alternatives with substantive pros/cons/rejection rationale. PRD referenced in frontmatter and body. However, two relevant cross-cutting dimensions from osac-dimensions.md are neither addressed nor explicitly deferred: Documentation (new API surface and CPA/TA/TU workflows need docs) and UI (tenants browsing operators and CPAs managing visibility). Installation dimension is partially addressed — the design introduces a new AAP job template 'osac-install-addon-operators' but doesn't mention whether osac-installer changes are needed to register it.
Architecture 2/2 Follows OSAC patterns closely. AddOnOperator uses the flat structure (buf:lint:ignore OSAC_OBJECT_SHAPE) with justified precedent from ClusterTemplate/ClusterVersion. Tenant isolation rationale for AddOnOperator is well-reasoned — provider-managed reference data doesn't need osac.openshift.io/tenant or owner-reference annotations, matching existing precedent. Controller pattern follows StorageReconciler for separate AAP job dispatch after Phase=Ready. Feedback controller mapping for AddOnOperatorsReady → DEGRADED is clearly specified in a table. Three-component change set (fulfillment-service, osac-aap, osac-operator) is well-identified with each component's changes described. PR #202 dependency on Catalog Items v2 is noted in a comment. Database migration follows established patterns (99_create_disk_images_tables.up.sql). Terminology is consistent throughout though no dedicated section.

Verdict: A well-structured design that demonstrates deep familiarity with OSAC patterns and provides thorough implementation detail, held back by a placeholder graduation criteria, a test plan inconsistency, and unaddressed Documentation/UI cross-cutting dimensions.

Feedback: Fix the unit test description that references package_name/channel proto validation — these fields are explicitly not in the API proto per your own design, so the unit tests should describe validating the fields that ARE in the proto (title, description, version constraints, exclusions, dependencies). Replace the placeholder graduation criteria with concrete, measurable conditions (e.g., 'All CRUD operations pass e2e, order-time validation covers all 5 error paths, degraded recovery verified in CI'). Address or explicitly defer the Documentation and UI cross-cutting dimensions — both are relevant since this introduces a new API surface with CPA/TA/TU workflows.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (6)

  1. Unit test section (line 798) claims proto validation rejects 'empty package_name, empty channel' but the design explicitly states these fields are NOT in the API proto — they remain in the Ansible role's meta/osac.yaml. Test plan should describe validation for the fields actually in the proto.
  2. Graduation criteria (line 833-835) is a placeholder: 'will be defined when targeting a release' with no concrete conditions. This is the anti-pattern called out in the scoring rubric ('feature is stable' → vague).
  3. Documentation cross-cutting dimension is relevant but not addressed or deferred. The feature introduces a new AddOnOperator API, CPA visibility workflow, TA catalog attachment, and TU ordering flow — all need documentation.
  4. UI cross-cutting dimension is relevant but not addressed or deferred. CPA managing operator visibility, TA attaching operators to catalog items, and TU browsing/ordering with operators are UI-impacting workflows.
  5. AddOnOperatorReference.shared field (proto definition, line 287) is declared but never explained anywhere in the design — its purpose and semantics are unknown.
  6. Delete lifecycle for AddOnOperator is not described. What happens when an operator is deleted that is referenced by existing ClusterCatalogItems or in-progress ClusterOrders? Dangling references could cause order-time validation failures or post-install role-not-found errors.

Suggestions (4)

  1. Elevate the PR OSAC-3538: Design - Catalog Items v2 Field Governance Redesign #202 (Catalog Items v2) dependency from an HTML comment to the Risks section — if OSAC-3538: Design - Catalog Items v2 Field Governance Redesign #202 lands first, the add_on_operators field shape changes significantly (governed field vs. plain repeated).
  2. Consider adding a Terminology section defining key terms (AddOnOperator, operator set, published/unpublished state, exclusion bidirectionality) — the review-patterns.md reference library notes this as a pattern from successful EPs.
  3. Installation dimension: clarify whether the new AAP job template 'osac-install-addon-operators' requires osac-installer changes (Helm chart values, job template registration) or is auto-discovered.
  4. Goals mix implementation tasks ('Extend the existing config-as-code pipeline', 'Reuse the standard fulfillment-service resource patterns') with user-visible outcomes — consider reframing as user-visible capabilities.

AI Design Review: EP-226

Score: 8/8 | Verdict: PASS
Feature: OSAC-4090

Criterion Score Notes
Feasibility 2/2 Deep technical detail throughout. Full proto schemas for AddOnOperator, AddOnOperatorReference, and AddOnOperatorLocalReference with field types and validation annotations. All CRUD lifecycle operations described. Order-time validation is a thorough 6-step process with specific error codes (InvalidArgument with FieldViolation, FailedPrecondition). Five distinct failure modes (pipeline, validation, AAP job, individual operator, controller restart) each with concrete recovery paths. Four specific risks (exclusion consistency, long post-install times, stale metadata, Catalog Items v2 interaction) with concrete mitigations. Drawbacks section steel-mans the Ansible-role-per-operator trade-off. The Ansible playbook rescue block's use of ansible_failed_task.loop_var may not produce correct per-operator breakdown (loop_var gives the variable name, not the value), but this is implementation-level detail that doesn't affect the design's feasibility.
Testability 2/2 Test plan specifies concrete scenarios at all three levels. Unit tests cover 5 areas: proto validation, order-time validation (all five error paths), dependency resolution (transitive inclusion, dedup, cycle detection), operator set merging, and condition mapping. Integration tests specify infrastructure (kind cluster, running fulfillment-service) and cover pipeline discovery, publish flow, end-to-end cluster create, and validation rejection. E2E tests describe 4 user-observable scenarios: happy path with catalog item operators, mixed-source ordering, validation error rejection, and degraded recovery. Graduation criteria are concrete and measurable across three stages (Dev Preview with 7 specific conditions, Tech Preview with CI coverage and production roles, GA with stability requirements).
Scope 2/2 Well-bounded scope with clear PRD reference in both frontmatter and inline link. Summary is concise (3 sentences). Six specific non-goals with clear reasoning: operator lifecycle management, OLM-awareness in Go, non-CaaS services, version pinning, UI changes, and user documentation — each explains why it's excluded. Four detailed alternatives with thorough pro/con analysis (controller-based OLM, manual API registration, hybrid Ansible+controller, assisted-service delegation). Cross-cutting dimensions addressed: Provisioning (CaaS operator installation), Installation (no osac-installer changes beyond Helm chart update), E2E Testing (in test plan), Documentation (deferred in non-goals), UI (deferred in non-goals). Minor weakness: some goals are implementation-focused ('Extend the existing config-as-code pipeline', 'Reuse the standard fulfillment-service resource patterns') rather than user-visible outcomes, but the overall scope is clear.
Architecture 2/2 All OSAC patterns followed with explicit justification for deviations. AddOnOperator uses buf:lint:ignore OSAC_OBJECT_SHAPE flat structure, justified by ClusterTemplate/ClusterVersion precedent as static config data. Tenant isolation exemption for AddOnOperator explicitly rationalized (provider-managed reference data, not tenant-scoped). Follows existing conventions: standard CRUD+Signal gRPC pattern, GenericDAO with JSON data column, reverse-reference deletion triggers (DiskImage precedent), StorageReconciler pattern for AAP job dispatch, feedback controller condition mapping. CRD changes use conditions (AddOnOperatorsReady) over phase enums. Lists used instead of maps ([]string for addOnOperators, []JobStatus for addOnOperatorJobs). Three-component change enumerated clearly: fulfillment-service (proto, DAO, server, validation), osac-aap (role metadata, pipeline, playbook), osac-operator (condition, reconciler, CRD). Integration with existing services well-described: config-as-code pi

Verdict: A thorough, well-structured design document (~950 lines) that follows established OSAC patterns, provides deep implementation detail with full proto schemas and specific validation logic, and includes a comprehensive test plan — one of the stronger design submissions reviewed.

Feedback: Minor improvements: (1) Reframe goals as user-visible outcomes rather than implementation tasks — e.g., 'Tenants can order clusters with pre-configured operators validated at order time' instead of 'Extend the existing config-as-code pipeline.' (2) Verify the Ansible rescue block logic — ansible_failed_task.loop_var returns the variable name (e.g., 'item'), not the current loop value; the per-operator breakdown formatting likely needs ansible_loop_var or direct item reference instead. (3) Consider adding a brief note on performance bounds for dependency resolution (e.g., max graph depth) to preempt reviewer questions about pathological operator dependency chains.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (2)

  1. Goals (lines 50-62) are partially implementation-focused ('Extend the existing config-as-code pipeline', 'Reuse the standard fulfillment-service resource patterns') rather than user-visible outcomes. Reviewers may request these be reframed as tenant/CPA-observable capabilities.
  2. The Ansible rescue block (lines 492-503) uses ansible_failed_task.loop_var which returns the loop variable name (e.g., 'item'), not the failing operator's name. The per-operator breakdown format likely won't produce the intended output. Consider using the loop variable value directly or ansible_failed_result attributes.

Suggestions (4)

  1. Add a brief Terminology section defining 'add-on operator' vs 'OLM operator' vs 'Ansible role' to align with the review-patterns.md recommendation for successful EPs.
  2. The Observability section (lines 652-663) states 'No new observability changes' — consider whether an operator installation failure rate metric or alert would be valuable, even if existing mechanisms cover status tracking.
  3. Consider documenting a maximum depth bound for dependency resolution (line 548-549) to guard against pathological operator dependency graphs and preempt reviewer questions about validation performance.
  4. Open Questions 1-3 (lines 798-826) are well-scoped implementation decisions, but resolving them before merge would strengthen the design — particularly the failure message format (OQ#1) which affects the user-visible error experience.

Score: 8/8 | Verdict: PASS
Feature: OSAC-4090

Criterion Score Notes
Feasibility 2/2 Deep implementation detail throughout: full proto schemas with field types and comments, Go CRD types with kubebuilder annotations, actual Ansible playbook YAML, 6-step validation logic, database migration pattern, feedback controller mapping table. All CRUD lifecycle operations covered (create via pipeline, get/list/update via API, delete with reverse-reference guard). Risks are specific (exclusion consistency, stale metadata, Catalog Items v2 interaction) with concrete mitigations. Drawbacks section steel-mans two real trade-offs. Minor inconsistency between failure-handling prose ('playbook continues with remaining operators') and the actual playbook code (loop stops on first failure with no ignore_errors), but this is an implementation detail that doesn't undermine design-level feasibility.
Testability 2/2 Test plan specifies concrete scenarios at all three levels. Unit tests enumerate five distinct areas (proto validation, order-time validation, dependency resolution, operator set merging, condition mapping). Integration tests describe infrastructure (kind cluster, running fulfillment-service) and four specific flows. E2E tests cover four user-observable scenarios including degraded recovery. Graduation criteria are measurable across three stages (Dev Preview with 6 criteria, Tech Preview with production operator count, GA with API stability requirement).
Scope 2/2 Summary is 3 sentences covering what, why, and key capabilities. Non-goals are specific with rationale (operator lifecycle, non-CaaS, version pinning, UI, docs — each explaining why it's excluded). Four real alternatives with detailed pros/cons and clear rejection rationale. PRD referenced in frontmatter and summary. Cross-cutting dimensions addressed: Provisioning (AAP job), Installation (no new infra needed), E2E Testing (test plan), UI (deferred), Documentation (deferred). Irrelevant dimensions (Networking, Storage, Inventory) correctly omitted. Goals are mostly user-visible outcomes, though 'extend the config-as-code pipeline' leans implementation-focused.
Architecture 2/2 Follows all OSAC patterns with explicit justification for deviations. Flat proto structure justified by ClusterTemplate/ClusterVersion precedent with buf:lint:ignore annotation. Tenant annotation omission justified by provider-managed reference data precedent. Controller pattern follows StorageReconciler (separate AAP job, non-gating condition, job history tracking). Three-component change set clearly identified (fulfillment-service, osac-aap, osac-operator). Integration well-described: config-as-code pipeline, feedback controller mapping, AAP job template registration via existing bootstrap mechanism. No breaking changes. Terms used consistently throughout, though no dedicated Terminology section.

Verdict: A thorough, well-structured design that follows established OSAC patterns across all four criteria, with deep implementation detail (proto schemas, Go types, Ansible playbooks), clear scope boundaries, specific test scenarios, and sound architectural decisions justified against existing precedents.

Feedback: The Ansible playbook's rescue block contradicts the prose: the Failure Handling section says 'the playbook continues with remaining operators' but the loop has no ignore_errors, so it stops on first failure — reconcile the code with the prose or restructure the loop to use per-operator error handling with result tracking. The Observability section states 'No new observability changes' but a new API resource and AAP job type would benefit from Prometheus metrics (installation duration, success/failure counts) to help CPAs monitor at scale without inspecting individual ClusterOrders. Consider adding a brief Terminology section (following the Networking EP pattern) to define AddOnOperator, exclusion, dependency, and published-state semantics upfront.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (3)

  1. Ansible playbook inconsistency: The Failure Handling section (line ~616) states 'the playbook continues with remaining operators and reports per-operator results' but the actual playbook code (lines 485-503) uses include_role in a loop with no ignore_errors — Ansible stops the loop on first failure and jumps to rescue. The rescue block also references ansible_failed_task.loop_var, which returns the variable name ('item'), not the failed operator's name. Either add ignore_errors with result track
  2. Observability gap: The section (lines 655-667) states 'No new observability changes' but a new resource type with a new AAP job category warrants at minimum Prometheus metrics for operator installation success/failure rates and duration. CPAs managing many tenants need aggregate visibility without inspecting individual ClusterOrder conditions. Consider counters for addon_operator_installations_total (by operator name, outcome) and a histogram for installation duration.
  3. Open Question 2 (default published state, lines 815-822) is already resolved in the design body (published=false by default, lines 111-116 and 275-278). This should be moved to a 'Resolved Questions' section or removed to avoid confusion about whether the decision is final.

Suggestions (3)

  1. Add a brief Terminology section defining key terms (AddOnOperator, exclusion, dependency, published state) to follow the pattern established by the Networking EP and help readers unfamiliar with the domain.
  2. Document the race condition between order-time validation and AddOnOperator deletion: if an operator passes validation but is deleted before the post-install job runs, the Ansible role still exists (per line 631), but clarify whether the operator's metadata absence affects the feedback controller or condition mapping.
  3. One goal ('Extend the existing config-as-code pipeline to auto-discover add-on operator metadata') is implementation-focused rather than a user-visible outcome. Consider reframing as 'Enable Cloud Provider Admins to add new operators by authoring an Ansible role, with no API or Go code changes required' to better align with the user-outcome framing of the other goals.

Feasibility 2/2 Deep technical detail throughout. Full proto schemas with field types and comments, Go CRD type definitions, Ansible playbook structure, database migration pattern, and 6-step order-time validation logic with specific error codes. All lifecycle operations covered (Create, Get, List, Update, Delete) with deletion protected by reverse-reference triggers. Risks are specific (exclusion consistency, stale metadata, Catalog Items v2 interaction) with concrete mitigations. Drawbacks section steel-mans two real arguments. One gap: the installation playbook iterates operators without dependency-aware ordering — if operator B depends on A and B is attempted first, it may fail unnecessarily. This is an implementation detail addressable at build time, not a design flaw.
Testability 2/2 Test plan specifies concrete scenarios at all three levels. Unit tests enumerate 5 areas (proto validation, order-time validation, dependency resolution, operator set merging, condition mapping). Integration tests cover pipeline discovery, publish flow against running fulfillment-service, end-to-end in kind, and validation rejection. E2E tests describe 4 user-observable scenarios including degraded recovery. Graduation criteria are measurable: Dev Preview lists 6 specific conditions, Tech Preview requires at least two production operator roles, GA requires stable API for one release cycle.
Scope 2/2 Clear boundaries with specific non-goals (operator lifecycle management, non-CaaS services, version pinning, UI, documentation — each with rationale). PRD referenced in frontmatter and summary. Four real alternatives considered with detailed pros/cons (controller-based OLM, manual API registration, hybrid approach, delegate to assisted-service). Cross-cutting dimensions addressed: Provisioning (core), Installation (no osac-installer changes needed), E2E Testing (test plan present), UI and Documentation (explicitly deferred in non-goals). Summary is concise at 3 sentences covering what, why, and key capabilities.
Architecture 2/2 All OSAC patterns followed. AddOnOperator correctly omits tenant/owner-reference annotations as provider-managed reference data (ClusterTemplate/ClusterVersion precedent). Proto uses justified buf:lint:ignore OSAC_OBJECT_SHAPE flat structure. Controller pattern follows established lifecycle: dispatch AAP job after Phase=Ready, set non-gating condition, requeue with backoff. Feedback controller mapping to CLUSTER_CONDITION_TYPE_DEGRADED is clearly tabulated. Three-component change (fulfillment-service, osac-aap, osac-operator) with cross-component dependencies enumerated. CRD uses lists (not maps), follows existing JobStatus pattern for job history. Integration with existing config-as-code pipeline, AAP provisioning, and feedback controller well-described.

Verdict: A comprehensive, well-structured design that follows all OSAC patterns, provides deep implementation detail with proto schemas and code examples, covers all lifecycle operations with specific error handling, and includes a concrete test plan — one of the stronger design submissions in terms of completeness and technical depth.

Feedback: The most actionable improvement is adding dependency-aware installation ordering: the Ansible playbook iterates operators in list order, but if operator B depends on operator A, topologically sorting the resolved set before passing it to the playbook would prevent unnecessary failures. Consider explicitly noting osac-test-infra as a cross-repo impact for E2E test fixtures and pytest infrastructure. The goals section mixes implementation tasks ('Reuse the standard fulfillment-service resource patterns') with user-visible outcomes — reframing goals as observable outcomes would better align with the PRD/design separation.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (2)

  1. Installation ordering not addressed: the playbook loop iterates operators without considering the dependency graph. If gpu-operator depends on node-feature-discovery and is iterated first, it may fail unnecessarily. The design should specify that the resolved operator set is topologically sorted by dependency order before being stored on the ClusterOrder CR or before the playbook iterates.
  2. osac-test-infra is not mentioned as a cross-repo impact. The E2E test plan implies new pytest fixtures and test scenarios, but the design doesn't enumerate osac-test-infra changes separately from in-repo cross-component sequencing, as the architecture rubric expects for genuine cross-repo impacts.

Suggestions (3)

  1. Consider adding a Terminology section (following the networking EP pattern) to formally define 'add-on operator', 'operator set', 'published/unpublished', and 'visibility scope' — usage is consistent but a glossary would help reviewers unfamiliar with the domain.
  2. The proto schema omits buf.validate annotations — showing key validation rules inline (e.g., non-empty title, semver format for version constraints) would strengthen the feasibility argument and save implementation guesswork.
  3. Goals mix implementation tasks ('Reuse the standard fulfillment-service resource patterns') with user-visible outcomes. Reframing as outcomes ('Add-on operators are managed through the same API patterns as other fulfillment-service resources') would better align with the design guide's expectations.

Criterion Score Notes
Feasibility 2/2 Proto schemas are provided for AddOnOperator, AddOnOperatorReference, and AddOnOperatorLocalReference with field types. ClusterSpec and ClusterOrderSpec changes are shown with Go struct tags. All lifecycle operations are covered: Create (config-as-code pipeline), Read/List (API), Update (CPA visibility), Delete (with reverse-reference guard returning FailedPrecondition). Order-time validation is specified step-by-step with specific error codes (InvalidArgument with google.rpc.BadRequest/FieldViolation). Dependency resolution describes transitive closure and cycle detection. Risks are specific (exclusion consistency, stale metadata, Catalog Items v2 interaction) with concrete mitigations. Drawbacks steel-man the Ansible-role-per-operator trade-off. One minor inaccuracy: Security Considerations claims buf.validate annotations for OLM fields (package_name, channel, catalog_source) that are explicitly NOT in the proto — those fields stay in the Ansible role and are validated by Pydantic, n
Testability 2/2 Test plan is concrete at all three levels. Unit tests enumerate five specific validation scenarios (proto validation, order-time validation, dependency resolution, operator set merging, condition mapping). Integration tests specify config-as-code discovery, publish flow, end-to-end cluster create in kind, and validation rejection. E2E tests cover happy path (order with operators, verify installation, verify AddOnOperatorsReady=True), mixed source, validation error, and degraded recovery. Graduation criteria have three distinct phases (Dev Preview, Tech Preview, GA) with measurable conditions — e.g., Dev Preview requires five specific validation error paths to pass, Tech Preview requires at least two production operator roles authored.
Scope 2/2 Summary is 3 sentences describing what's added, why, and key capabilities. Goals are user-visible outcomes (extending config-as-code pipeline, order-time validation, Ansible-based installation, status tracking). Non-goals are specific and explain why — operator lifecycle management, OLM-awareness in Go, non-CaaS services, version pinning, UI (covered by own design), docs (deferred until API stabilizes). Four real alternatives are evaluated with detailed pros/cons and rejection rationale (controller-based OLM, manual API registration, hybrid Ansible+controller, assisted-service delegation). PRD referenced via frontmatter and in-text link. Cross-cutting dimensions: Provisioning addressed (AAP job template, post-install workflow), Installation addressed (no osac-installer changes needed), E2E Testing addressed (test plan), Documentation and UI explicitly deferred in non-goals. Networking, Storage, Inventory correctly omitted as irrelevant.
Architecture 2/2 Follows OSAC patterns consistently. Flat proto structure (buf:lint:ignore OSAC_OBJECT_SHAPE) justified by ClusterTemplate/ClusterCatalogItem/ComputeInstanceTemplate precedent for static config data. Tenant isolation addressed: AddOnOperator is provider-managed reference data following ClusterTemplate/ClusterVersion precedent (no osac.openshift.io/tenant annotation, using field-level tenant scoping instead). Controller pattern follows ProvisioningProvider interface with separate non-gating condition (AddOnOperatorsReady) — same lifecycle separation as ClusterStorageReady. Dependencies clearly identified across three components (fulfillment-service, osac-aap, osac-operator) with no cross-repo impact. Database migration follows standard GenericDAO pattern. Config-as-code pipeline reuses existing template discovery and publishing mechanisms. Sequence diagram shows the full request flow from Tenant User through fulfillment-service to osac-operator to AAP to hosted cluster.

Verdict: This is a high-quality design document that thoroughly covers all template sections, follows OSAC patterns with well-justified deviations, provides detailed proto schemas and implementation specifics, and includes a concrete test plan with measurable graduation criteria.

Feedback: The Security Considerations section inaccurately claims buf.validate annotations for OLM fields (package_name, channel, catalog_source) that are explicitly NOT in the API proto — those are validated by the Pydantic model in the config-as-code pipeline, not buf.validate. Correct this to avoid confusion during implementation. Consider explicitly stating that ClusterSpec.add_on_operators is immutable after cluster creation, since the design implies this but never states it directly — reviewers may ask about update semantics. The CLUSTER_CONDITION_TYPE_DEGRADED mapping is the first use of this condition type; consider briefly discussing how multiple future sources of DEGRADED conditions would coexist on the proto side.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (3)

  1. Security Considerations (line ~434) claims 'OLM package names, channels, and catalog sources are validated via buf.validate annotations' but these fields are explicitly NOT in the AddOnOperator proto — they remain in the Ansible role's meta/osac.yaml and are validated by the Pydantic model in find_template_roles.py. The buf.validate annotations apply to the API-facing fields (title, min/max_ocp_version, etc.), not the OLM-specific fields. This should be corrected to accurately describe which val
  2. The CLUSTER_CONDITION_TYPE_DEGRADED condition mapping (line ~406) is described as 'the first use' of this condition type. The design should briefly discuss how multiple sources of DEGRADED conditions would coexist on the proto API side if future features also map CRD conditions to DEGRADED — e.g., whether the condition message is sufficient for disambiguation or whether a more structured approach is needed.
  3. The gRPC service definition for AddOnOperator CRUD (AddOnOperatorService with Create, Get, List, Update, Delete RPCs) is not shown. While it follows standard patterns, including at least the service definition skeleton would help reviewers verify completeness and confirm which operations are available on the private vs. public API.

Suggestions (3)

  1. Explicitly state that ClusterSpec.add_on_operators is immutable after cluster creation. The design implies this ('populated by the server at creation time') and non-goals exclude lifecycle management, but an explicit statement prevents ambiguity about whether the Update Cluster flow allows modifying the operator set.
  2. Consider adding observability metrics for addon operator installation — e.g., installation duration histogram per operator, failure rate counter. The Observability section states 'No new observability changes' but a new async post-provisioning workflow with per-operator granularity is a good candidate for dedicated metrics beyond condition-based visibility.
  3. Consider adding a brief Terminology section defining 'add-on operator' vs. 'OLM operator' vs. 'Ansible role' to align with the review-patterns.md recommendation. The design uses these terms consistently but never formally defines the distinction.

Criterion Score Notes
Feasibility 2/2 Full proto schemas with field types provided for AddOnOperator, AddOnOperatorReference, and AddOnOperatorLocalReference. Six-step order-time validation is specific: dependency resolution with cycle detection, mutual exclusivity checks, version constraint validation. Error reporting uses InvalidArgument with google.rpc.BadRequest/FieldViolation. All CRUD lifecycle operations covered (create via pipeline POST, read/list via standard API, update via CPA Update API and pipeline PATCH, delete with reverse-reference protection). Risks are concrete with concrete mitigations. Drawbacks genuinely steel-man the counter-argument. Three open questions are well-scoped and don't undermine the core design.
Testability 2/2 Test plan specifies concrete scenarios at each level. Unit tests cover proto validation, order-time validation (5 error paths), dependency resolution, operator set merging, and condition mapping. Integration tests describe config-as-code pipeline discovery, publish flow with running fulfillment-service, and kind cluster e2e. E2E tests cover happy path, mixed source ordering, validation rejection, and degraded recovery. Graduation criteria are measurable: Dev Preview lists specific functional requirements, Tech Preview adds CI e2e and production roles, GA requires stability across one release cycle.
Scope 2/2 Summary is concise (3 sentences). PRD referenced in frontmatter and body. Non-goals are very specific: operator lifecycle, OLM-awareness in Go, non-CaaS services, version pinning, UI, documentation. Four real alternatives with detailed rejection rationale (controller-based OLM, manual API registration, hybrid, assisted-service). Cross-cutting dimensions well-addressed: CaaS in scope, provisioning integration described, installation covered (AAP job template registration), documentation and UI explicitly deferred as non-goals. Two goals lean slightly implementation-flavored but are acceptable.
Architecture 2/2 Follows OSAC patterns throughout. AddOnOperator flat structure justified by ClusterTemplate/ClusterCatalogItem precedent with buf:lint:ignore annotation. Omission of tenant/owner-reference annotations explicitly reasoned as provider-managed reference data. Controller patterns correct: AddOnOperatorsReady condition (non-gating), job history tracking in addOnOperatorJobs, separate AAP job post-Ready. Cross-component changes enumerated across fulfillment-service, osac-aap, osac-operator. Interactions with concurrent PRs (#202 Catalog Items v2, #227 Granular Status) proactively addressed with compatibility strategies. Feedback controller mapping table is clear. No formal terminology section but terms are used consistently.

Verdict: A thorough, well-structured design that follows OSAC patterns consistently, provides detailed proto schemas and validation logic, covers all lifecycle operations with explicit error handling, and includes a concrete test plan with specific scenarios at every level.

Feedback: Consider adding a brief Terminology section defining 'add-on operator' vs 'OLM operator' vs 'Ansible role' to match the pattern set by the Networking EP and prevent confusion for reviewers unfamiliar with OLM. The Observability section claiming 'No new observability changes' is a missed opportunity — consider whether operator installation duration metrics or failure-rate counters would aid operational monitoring of this new workflow. Open Question #2 (default published state) has security implications worth calling out explicitly: defaulting to published=true could expose operators before CPA review.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (3)

  1. Observability section states 'No new observability changes' but introduces a new post-install workflow with its own AAP job type. Consider whether operator installation duration, per-operator success/failure counters, or queue depth metrics would be valuable for operational monitoring — especially since long post-install times are identified as a risk.
  2. Open Question Bump actions/checkout from 4 to 5 #2 (default published state) has a security dimension not explicitly noted: published=true by default would expose newly discovered operators to all tenants immediately after pipeline runs, before CPA review. The design should state whether there is a security preference, even if the final decision is deferred.
  3. Two of the five goals are implementation-focused ('Extend the existing config-as-code pipeline', 'Reuse the standard fulfillment-service resource patterns') rather than user-visible outcomes. Consider rephrasing to focus on what users gain rather than how it's built.

Suggestions (3)

  1. Add a Terminology section defining 'add-on operator', 'OLM operator', 'Ansible role', 'operator role' to match the Networking EP pattern and reduce ambiguity for reviewers.
  2. The 'API Extensions' section header from the design template is absent — proto definitions are under 'Implementation Details/Notes/Constraints'. Consider adding an explicit 'API Extensions' subsection for template conformance.
  3. Consider specifying the exact buf.validate annotations planned for AddOnOperator fields (e.g., string length limits for title/description, semver regex for version fields) to give implementers precise validation rules.

Feasibility 2/2 Exceptionally detailed implementation. Full proto schemas with field types for AddOnOperator, AddOnOperatorReference, and AddOnOperatorLocalReference. Go CRD types for ClusterOrderSpec and ClusterOrderStatus. Six-step order-time validation pipeline with specific error codes (InvalidArgument with google.rpc.BadRequest/FieldViolation). Five distinct failure scenarios with concrete recovery paths. Ansible role metadata schema with a complete example (gpu-operator). Database migration strategy follows the DiskImage precedent (SQLSTATE Z0003 for reverse-reference deletion). Risks are specific (exclusion consistency, stale metadata, Catalog Items v2 interaction) with concrete mitigations.
Testability 2/2 Test plan is specific at all three levels. Unit tests name what's tested: proto validation (empty title, invalid semver, self-referencing exclusions/dependencies), order-time validation (5 error paths), dependency resolution (transitive inclusion, dedup, cycle detection), operator set merging, condition mapping. Integration tests specify infrastructure (kind environment, running fulfillment-service) and cover pipeline discovery, publish flow, end-to-end cluster create, and validation rejection. E2E tests cover happy path, mixed source, validation error, and degraded recovery. Graduation criteria are measurable at Dev Preview (6 specific conditions) and Tech Preview (E2E in CI, 2 production operator roles). GA criteria are slightly vague ('production deployment feedback incorporated') but adequate.
Scope 2/2 Clear boundaries. Summary is concise (3 sentences). Six specific non-goals with rationale (operator lifecycle management, OLM-awareness in Go, non-CaaS services, version pinning deferred, UI deferred, docs deferred). PRD referenced in frontmatter and body. Four real alternatives with pros/cons/rejection rationale. All relevant cross-cutting dimensions from osac-dimensions.md addressed or explicitly deferred: provisioning (post-install AAP job), installation (no osac-installer changes, AAP bootstrap), E2E testing (test plan), documentation (deferred in non-goals), UI (deferred in non-goals). Personas well-covered: CPA (adding/enabling operators), TA (catalog attachment), TU (ordering clusters). Some goals are implementation-flavored rather than user-visible outcomes, but this is minor.
Architecture 2/2 All OSAC patterns followed meticulously. AddOnOperator uses flat structure with justified buf:lint:ignore (consistent with ClusterTemplate, ClusterCatalogItem precedent). Tenant isolation addressed: AddOnOperator is provider-managed reference data so no osac.openshift.io/tenant annotation needed (follows ClusterTemplate/ClusterVersion precedent), but OPA policies enforce visibility. Controller pattern: separate AAP job dispatched after Phase=Ready, non-gating AddOnOperatorsReady condition (follows ClusterStorageReady precedent), job history in addOnOperatorJobs. Three-component dependency analysis (fulfillment-service, osac-aap, osac-operator) with clear interaction description. Concurrent PR interactions (#202 Catalog Items v2, #227 Granular Status) well-handled with forward/backward compatibility notes. Feedback controller mapping table is clear with distinct Reason for differentiability. No maps in CRDs. Reverse-reference deletion trigger follows DiskImage precedent.

Verdict: This is an exceptionally well-crafted design document that follows all OSAC patterns, provides deep implementation detail with proto schemas and Go types, covers all lifecycle operations and failure modes, and addresses all relevant cross-cutting dimensions — one of the strongest designs reviewed.

Feedback: Three areas to tighten before merge: (1) Clarify the pipeline's PATCH semantics explicitly — the design says it preserves published and tenant on update, but state explicitly that it overwrites title, description, and version constraints from the Ansible role source of truth, so CPAs know not to edit those via the API. (2) Resolve the three open questions — especially #2 (default published state), which affects security posture and the CPA workflow. (3) Consider adding a note on multi-tenant visibility: the tenant field is a single string, so an operator can only be global or scoped to one tenant — if multi-tenant scoping is a future need, call it out as a known limitation.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (2)

  1. Open question Bump actions/checkout from 4 to 5 #2 (default published state) has security implications: if published=true by default, newly discovered operators become tenant-visible immediately without CPA review. This should be resolved in the design rather than deferred to implementation.
  2. Pipeline PATCH semantics are ambiguous for non-preserved fields. The design states the pipeline preserves published and tenant on PATCH, but doesn't explicitly state whether it overwrites other CPA-editable fields (title, description, version constraints). If the Ansible role is the source of truth for those fields, say so explicitly to prevent confusion when a CPA edits them via the API and the next pipeline run overwrites the changes.

Suggestions (5)

  1. GA graduation criterion 'Production deployment feedback incorporated' is not a measurable condition. Consider something like 'No P0/P1 bugs open for one release cycle' or 'API stability verified by one full release without breaking changes.'
  2. Some goals are implementation-flavored ('Reuse the standard fulfillment-service resource patterns', 'Extend the existing config-as-code pipeline'). Reframe as user-visible outcomes: 'Cloud Provider Admins can add new operators by authoring an Ansible role without API changes or Go code changes.'
  3. Consider adding a Terminology section defining 'add-on operator', 'operator set', 'exclusion', 'dependency' in the OSAC context — review-patterns.md notes this as a best practice from the Networking EP.
  4. The tenant field on AddOnOperator is a single string, limiting visibility scoping to one tenant or global. If multi-tenant scoping is a foreseeable need, note this as a known limitation in Non-Goals or Drawbacks.
  5. Interaction with PR OSAC-1604: Design - Granular Cluster Status Reporting #227 (Granular Cluster Status): both add-on operator failures and node health issues map to CLUSTER_CONDITION_TYPE_DEGRADED with different Reasons. Consider whether a dedicated condition type (e.g., CLUSTER_CONDITION_TYPE_ADDON_OPERATORS_DEGRADED) would be cleaner than overloading DEGRADED with multiple sources.

- Around line 103-111: Set the default published state for newly auto-discovered
AddOnOperator records to false in the API or persistence layer, and require an
explicit Cloud Provider Admin update to make an operator visible. Apply the same
default consistently to the additional referenced creation flow.
- Around line 125-133: The dependency resolution flow must preserve
dependency-first ordering for installation instead of exposing only an unordered
set. Update ClusterOrder construction or the AAP installation loop to apply a
deterministic topological order, ensuring every operator is installed after all
transitive dependencies; add coverage for a transitive dependency chain.
- Around line 103-116: Define consistent stale-reference handling between
ClusterCatalogItem.add_on_operators and AddOnOperator visibility: validate
operator references when catalog items are written and when an operator’s
published or tenant fields change, or specify atomic behavior that removes or
invalidates stale references. Ensure catalog browsing cannot expose references
that order-time visibility validation will reject.
- Around line 205-210: Require min_ocp_version to be less than or equal to
max_ocp_version whenever both are provided. Add this cross-field validation to
the relevant Pydantic model and enforce it in the API update path, while
preserving existing empty-bound behavior and semver validation.
- Around line 360-378: Update the osac-operator addon-operator job dispatch flow
to use a deterministic idempotency key derived from the ClusterOrder UID and
installation generation; before launching, query AAP for an existing job with
that key and reuse it when present, otherwise create the job with the key.
Ensure this check covers the restart window before status.addOnOperatorJobs is
persisted and preserves existing job tracking and reconciliation behavior.
- Around line 369-377: Sanitize and bound AAP error text before copying
result_traceback into AddOnOperatorsReady conditions or JobStatus.Message.
Persist only a redacted, size-limited operator failure summary, while retaining
full traceback details exclusively in provider-side AAP logs; apply this
consistently to the described failure-handling paths.
- Around line 394-413: The feedback controller’s AddOnOperatorsReady mapping
must not clear an existing aggregate DEGRADED condition when add-ons become
ready. Update the mapping around feedback controller condition aggregation to
preserve or combine active HyperShift/NodePool degradation, or emit only the
add-on failure contribution, and add a test covering simultaneous add-on and
NodePool degradation.
- Around line 251-255: Update ClusterOrderSpec.addOnOperators to preserve each
ClusterSpec.add_on_operators entry’s immutable resource ID together with its
role revision or digest, rather than only the name. Use that identity when
launching the delayed AAP job to resolve and validate the exact resource,
handling deleted or changed records without falling back to name-based
resolution.
- Around line 251-255: Define update semantics for ClusterSpec.add_on_operators:
either mark this field immutable after cluster creation, or specify a separate
add/remove workflow with reconciliation behavior for changes and operator
installation effects.
- Around line 720-726: Update the Version Skew Strategy so deployments fail
closed when osac-operator or its CRD does not support add_on_operators, rather
than allowing unknown addOnOperators data to be silently ignored. Implement
either an explicit compatibility gate that blocks incompatible deployments or
persistence of a pending installation request until a compatible consumer is
available, ensuring requested operators cannot be reported as Ready while
dropped.

#### Enabling operators for tenants (Cloud Provider Admin)

The CPA lists available add-on operators via the API and controls visibility by
setting a `published` flag and optional tenant scoping on each `AddOnOperator`
via the Update API. This follows the same pattern as `ClusterCatalogItem`
visibility: `published=false` hides the operator from the public API;
`tenant=""` means global; a non-empty `tenant` scopes visibility to that
tenant. The default value of `published` when the pipeline creates a new
operator is an [open question](#2-default-published-state-for-auto-discovered-operators).

Set new records to published=false.

The publication default is still unresolved while auto-discovery creates records. If creation defaults to true, every new role becomes tenant-visible before CPA review. Set the default in the API or persistence layer, then require an explicit CPA update to publish an operator.

Keep catalog visibility consistent with operator visibility.

A catalog item can retain an add_on_operators reference after the operator is unpublished or scoped to another tenant. Catalog browsing can still show the reference, while cluster creation later fails during order-time visibility validation. Validate references on catalog-item writes and on published or tenant changes, or define atomic stale-reference handling.

published or tenant fields change, or specify atomic behavior that removes or
invalidates stale references. Ensure catalog browsing cannot expose references
that order-time visibility validation will reject.

1. **Resolve catalog operators:** If the cluster references a catalog item,
fetch the catalog item and extract its `add_on_operators`. Merge with any
operators specified directly in `ClusterSpec.add_on_operators` (union by
operator name; duplicates are deduplicated, not rejected).
2. **Resolve dependencies:** For each operator in the set, fetch its
`dependencies`. Add any missing dependencies to the set. Repeat until no
new dependencies are added. Detect cycles by tracking the resolution chain
per operator — if an operator appears twice in its own chain, return
`InvalidArgument` with a descriptive message naming the cycle.

Install dependencies before dependent operators.

Dependency resolution produces a set, but the AAP loop does not define a dependency order. A dependent operator can run before its dependency and fail even though order-time validation passed. Carry a deterministic dependency-first order into ClusterOrder, or topologically sort before installation. Add a transitive dependency test.

Reject inverted OCP version ranges.

The design validates semver format but does not require min_ocp_version <= max_ocp_version when both values are set. An inverted range can publish successfully and make every order fail. Add cross-field validation in the Pydantic model and API update path.

Carry an immutable operator identity into ClusterOrder.

ClusterSpec.add_on_operators contains id and name, but ClusterOrderSpec.addOnOperators keeps only the name and later resolves a role by that name. A record or role can change between order validation and the delayed AAP job. The design also allows deletion of records referenced by in-progress orders. Store an immutable resource ID plus role revision or digest, or revalidate the exact resource before launch.

Define update semantics for ClusterSpec.add_on_operators.

The design resolves and stores this field only during Create, while operator lifecycle management is out of scope. It does not define whether cluster updates may change the field or how such changes affect installation. Mark the field immutable after creation, or define a separate add/remove workflow and reconciliation behavior.

A new playbook `playbook_osac_install_addon_operators.yml` (AAP job template
`osac-install-addon-operators`) is dispatched by the osac-operator after the
cluster reaches `Phase=Ready`. The
playbook receives the ClusterOrder CR as `osac_job_vars.resource` and the
`admin_kubeconfig` for the provisioned cluster.

The playbook loops over `cluster_order.spec.addOnOperators`, invoking each
operator's Ansible role (`osac.templates.{{ name }}`) with `tasks_from:
install`. The loop uses `ignore_errors: true` so all operators are attempted
even if earlier ones fail. After the loop, the playbook collects per-operator
results: if any failed, it re-raises with a breakdown listing each operator
as INSTALLED or FAILED (with error message). This breakdown flows through
AAP's `result_traceback` to `JobStatus.Message`.

The osac-operator dispatches this job for each Ready ClusterOrder that has
`addOnOperators` and does not yet have `AddOnOperatorsReady=True`. If the
job fails, the operator sets `AddOnOperatorsReady=False` with the job's
`result_traceback` as the condition message, and requeues with backoff. Job
history is tracked in `status.addOnOperatorJobs`.

Make AAP job launch idempotent across controller restarts.

The no-duplicate claim only holds after the job reference reaches status.addOnOperatorJobs. If the controller crashes after AAP accepts the job but before status persists, the next reconcile can launch a second job. Use a deterministic idempotency key based on the ClusterOrder UID and installation generation, then query and reuse that AAP job.

Sanitize and bound AAP error text before persisting it.

The design copies raw result_traceback into AddOnOperatorsReady and JobStatus.Message, which are exposed through the API and oc describe cord. Ansible failures can contain module arguments, URLs, or secret values, and a large traceback can make status updates fail. Store a redacted, bounded operator summary in status and keep full diagnostics in provider-only AAP logs.

#### Feedback controller mapping

The feedback controller (`feedback_controller.go`) needs a new mapping for
`AddOnOperatorsReady` to `CLUSTER_CONDITION_TYPE_DEGRADED`:

| CRD Condition | Proto Condition | Mapping |
|---------------|-----------------|---------|
| `AddOnOperatorsReady=True` | `DEGRADED=False` | All operators installed |
| `AddOnOperatorsReady=False` | `DEGRADED=True` | One or more operators failed |
| `AddOnOperatorsReady` absent | No `DEGRADED` condition | No operators requested |

**Interaction with PR #227 (OSAC-1604, Granular Cluster Status Reporting):**
PR #227 redesigns the feedback controller with a table-driven map and also
maps HyperShift-driven degradation (partial NodePool failures) to `DEGRADED`.
If #227 lands first, add-on operator failures become a second independent
source of `DEGRADED`. The two sources are distinguishable by `Reason` — the
implementation should use a distinct reason (e.g., `AddOnOperatorsFailed`)
so consumers can tell operator installation failures apart from node health
issues. If this design lands first, the mapping should be built to
accommodate #227's table-driven approach.

Aggregate DEGRADED sources instead of clearing the condition on add-on success.

The mapping makes AddOnOperatorsReady=True emit DEGRADED=False. If a NodePool or HyperShift degradation is active at the same time, that write can clear an unrelated failure from the shared DEGRADED condition. A distinct Reason does not prevent this if the proto exposes one aggregate condition. Make the feedback controller combine all sources, or emit only the add-on failure contribution, and add a mixed-source test.

## Version Skew Strategy

The fulfillment-service and osac-operator are deployed together via
osac-installer. Version skew is limited to the deployment window. In either
direction, the unknown/unpopulated `addOnOperators` field is safely ignored
(Go JSON unmarshalling skips unknown fields), so operators simply aren't
installed until both components are upgraded.

Fail closed when the consumer does not support add_on_operators.

The stated skew behavior allows the fulfillment service to accept an operator set while an older osac-operator or CRD ignores it. The cluster can reach Phase=Ready with the requested operators silently dropped, and the old order data may not be recoverable after upgrade. Gate incompatible deployments, or persist a pending installation request until a compatible consumer is available.

After #228 ClusterCatalogItem.fields would then govern it through an AddOnOperatorReferenceListFieldPolicy, rather than adding a plain repeated add_on_operators field directly to ClusterCatalogItem. During cluster creation, the selected list would be materialized into ClusterSpec.add_on_operators.
This shouldn’t be a problem, just something to keep in mind when implementing the two designs.

## Summary

- Add the `AddOnOperator` resource to the fulfillment-service API.
- Provide private CRUD and `Signal` APIs plus public read-only `List`
and `Get` APIs.
- Store add-on operators as shared platform data; public visibility is
controlled by `published`.
- Add SemVer-compatible range validation, including OCP shorthand such
as `4.17`, and `ADDON_OPERATOR_DEFAULT_PUBLISHED` support.
- Add persistence, active-object tracking, name uniqueness, event
payloads, reference lookups, and generated clients.

## Scope

This PR intentionally supports shared platform operators only. Add-on
operators are owned by the `shared` metadata tenant and are visible to
all tenants when published.

Tenant-specific visibility scopes are deferred to a follow-up design and
implementation so the initial resource can use the existing metadata
tenancy and reference-resolution model.

## Deferred

- Tenant-specific operator visibility and scope-aware operator
references.
- Reverse-reference deletion and unpublish protection for future
catalog-item links
([OSAC-4715](https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OSAC-4715)).
- Catalog-item and cluster attachment/order-time operator resolution.

## Test Plan

- Private CRUD, signaling, shared ownership, publication defaults, and
SemVer-compatible range validation.
- OCP shorthand version coverage such as `4.17` and `4.18`.
- Public published filtering and read access.
- Migration table creation, shared-tenant ownership, uniqueness, soft
deletion, foreign keys, and immutability.
- Generated protobuf clients for fulfillment-service, osac-operator, and
metering-service.
- Focused unit tests, migration tests, linting, and generated-code
checks.
