Design: Granular Cluster Status Reporting

Jira: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OSAC-1604
PRD: enhancements/OSAC-1604-granular-cluster-status-reporting/prd.md (merged in #209)

Summary

Makes CaaS cluster status as granular as VMaaS made ComputeInstance status in
OSAC-1027. It fixes the osac-operator feedback controller that today collapses
every ClusterOrder condition into a single fulfillment PROGRESSING condition,
derives per-stage provisioning progress and orthogonal health signals from the
HyperShift HostedCluster/NodePool state the operator already watches, adds
per-node-set readiness to the Cluster proto, and renders it through
osac describe cluster. Scope is backend only (proto, operator, CLI, events);
the web console (AC-7/IS-6) is owned by the osac-ux team and consumes the same
API.

Requesting Review On

  • Condition model (hybrid). Two new orthogonal ClusterConditionType values
    (CONTROL_PLANE_AVAILABLE, WORKERS_READY) for the health axes AC-3 needs
    simultaneously, plus a PROGRESSING.reason vocabulary for the linear
    provisioning sub-stage. Confirm this over pure reason-cycling (the exact
    OSAC-1027 shape).
  • Stall thresholds. Proposed configurable defaults: PreparingInfrastructure
    15m, ControlPlaneStarting 30m, WorkersJoining 20m. Sanity-check the values.
  • Derived ready_replicas. HyperShift exposes no numeric ready count, so
    "X of Y ready" is derived from status.Replicas gated by NodePool
    AllNodesHealthy/Ready. Confirm the approximation is acceptable.
  • Two latent operator bugs fixed here (name mismatch dropping the ready
    signal; unmapped CR conditions) - confirm folding them into this change rather
    than separate bugfixes.
  • Metering (OSAC-4077) producer boundary. P0 (real DELETING transition) is
    verified already satisfied; P1 (state_transition_time on every transition) is
    a gap fixed here. Confirm this is the right split vs OSAC-4077.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added more detailed cluster status reporting, including control plane and worker readiness.
    • Added per-node-set desired, current, and ready replica counts.
    • Added node-set lifecycle states such as provisioning, ready, scaling, and degraded.
    • Exposed richer status details through APIs, CLI output, and list views.
    • Added status transition timestamps, provisioning reasons, stall detection, and improved event reporting.
    • Added support for reporting status across multiple node sets.

Add the backend design EP for granular CaaS cluster status reporting
alongside the merged PRD. The design fixes the osac-operator feedback
controller condition collapse, adds two orthogonal condition types
(CONTROL_PLANE_AVAILABLE, WORKERS_READY) plus a PROGRESSING reason
vocabulary, extends ClusterNodeSet with replica counts and per-set
state, and renders it all through the CLI. Scope is backend only
(proto, operator, CLI, events); UI is owned by osac-ux.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to a9c1b

The change expands cluster status reporting and adds new readiness, progress, and metering behavior, but unresolved status mappings, readiness calculations, node-set attribution, stall detection, and transition-time ownership could produce incorrect or missing user-visible status. The PR is not merge-ready until these contracts and behaviors are clarified.

AI Design Review: EP-227

Score: 7/8 | Verdict: PASS

Criterion Score Notes
Feasibility 2/2 Exceptionally detailed implementation: specific file paths, function names, and line references throughout. Full proto sketches with field types and enum values. Hardest parts addressed concretely (ready_replicas derivation from condition-gated status.Replicas, stall detection with configurable thresholds and RequeueAfter, per-node-set attribution). Five specific risks with concrete mitigations. Drawbacks section honestly steel-mans the complexity cost.
Testability 1/2 Test plan substance is strong: unit tests specify concrete scenarios (feedback mapping, latent bug regression, stall detection with fake clock, event guards), integration tests name infrastructure (kind/Ginkgo, envtest), E2E tests describe observable provisioning stages with honest acknowledgment of what's hard to reproduce. However, graduation criteria are placeholder ('will be defined when targeting a release') with no measurable conditions, which the rubric requires for a 2.
Scope 2/2 Well-bounded: non-goals are specific with tracking references (OSAC-4077, OSAC-1415, OSAC-1027). Five real alternatives with clear rejection rationale. PRD referenced in frontmatter and inline. Relevant cross-cutting dimensions addressed: provisioning (core), storage (ClusterStorageReady mapping), E2E testing (osac-test-infra), UI (explicitly deferred to osac-ux). Minor gap: documentation dimension not addressed or deferred.
Architecture 2/2 Follows all OSAC patterns: orthogonal condition types for independent health axes, append-only enum evolution, table-driven feedback mapping mirroring ComputeInstance, system-controlled status. Dependencies enumerated in order (fulfillment-service then osac-operator), cross-repo impacts noted (osac-test-infra, osac-ux). Two latent bugs flagged with specific code references. Terminology consistent throughout.

Verdict: A strong, well-grounded design that adapts a proven pattern (OSAC-1027) for CaaS clusters with deep implementation specificity; the only material gap is placeholder graduation criteria.

Feedback: Define measurable graduation criteria instead of deferring — e.g., 'Dev Preview: all CRUD operations pass e2e, condition mapping coverage >95% in unit tests; GA: 30-day production soak with no stall-timer false positives.' Also address the documentation dimension: state whether user-facing docs for the new CLI output, reason vocabulary, and API extensions are in scope or explicitly deferred. Minor: clarify the relationship between ClusterNodeSet.size (existing) and desired_replicas (new) — are they redundant, or does size represent the user's requested count while desired_replicas reflects the operator's target?

Critical (0)

None.

Important (2)

  1. Graduation criteria are placeholder: 'will be defined when targeting a release' names stages but provides no measurable conditions for transitioning between them. This pulls testability to 1/2.
  2. Documentation cross-cutting dimension is not addressed: the new CLI describe output, reason vocabulary, and API extensions may need user-facing documentation updates, but the design neither covers nor explicitly defers this.

Suggestions (3)

  1. Clarify the relationship between the existing ClusterNodeSet.size field and the new desired_replicas field — if they represent the same value, document why both exist; if different, define the distinction.
  2. Consider adding a Terminology section following the networking EP pattern — terms like Stalled vs StageUnknown vs DEGRADED are defined inline but a dedicated section would improve scannability.
  3. Goals lean implementation-pattern-oriented ('Reuse the OSAC-1027 pattern'); consider rephrasing as user-visible outcomes ('Tenants observe per-stage provisioning progress and independent health signals for control plane and workers').

Inline comments:
In `@enhancements/OSAC-1604-granular-cluster-status-reporting/design.md`:
- Around line 208-219: Define explicitly whether state=READY is lifecycle-only
or requires worker readiness, including the READY condition value during
degradation and scaling when WORKERS_READY is false. Apply the chosen contract
consistently across the workflow, CLI output, list columns, and related tests,
using the existing ClusterConditionType symbols.
- Around line 282-310: Complete the CR-to-proto condition mapping design by
defining entries for every source condition, including FAILED and DEGRADED, with
explicit target type, status, and reason behavior. Specify collision handling
and precedence when multiple CR conditions map to PROGRESSING, and reconcile
storage/deletion handling so each condition is either mapped to its required
distinct proto condition or explicitly ignored. Ensure the table and test plan
agree.
- Around line 332-338: Update the stalled-detection design to define thresholds
for every workflow stage, including Scaling, DestroyingCloudResources, and
DestroyingControlPlane, and preserve the promised stalled scaling and
DELETE_FAILED teardown behavior. In the reconcile logic, compute elapsed time
from each stage’s PROGRESSING lastTransitionTime and set RequeueAfter to the
remaining interval, clamped to zero, rather than requeueing for the full
threshold.
- Around line 323-331: The NodePool readiness derivation must not treat
status.Replicas as a ready-replica count. Update handleNodePool and the
ClusterNodeSet status mapping to use an actual numeric ready source when
available; otherwise represent readiness as explicitly unknown or partial, or
revise the field semantics instead of emitting a false X-of-Y value. Define and
consistently apply whether Ready and AllNodesHealthy are combined with AND or OR
when computing WORKERS_READY.
- Around line 532-550: Extend the upgrade/version-skew strategy around the
status contract to define and test the operator-new → service-old → JSON
persistence → client-old round trip, including an old-binary read-modify-write
case. Document the expected preserve, reject, or normalize behavior for
CONTROL_PLANE_AVAILABLE and WORKERS_READY at each private/public projection
boundary, including their differing field numbers.
- Around line 356-364: Revise the state_transition_time design to designate
exactly one authoritative writer, either the operator feedback path around
SetState or the fulfillment reconciler’s state-delta handling. Define that the
timestamp is updated only when the state actually changes, preserved across
unrelated reconciles, and never overwritten by the non-owning path before using
it for metering.
- Around line 316-322: Define explicit precedence and combination semantics
between HyperShift Available and KubeAPIServerAvailable before deriving
CONTROL_PLANE_AVAILABLE, including the authoritative condition and behavior for
False and Unknown values. Update the granular status logic and add tests
covering every condition-value combination.
- Around line 323-326: Preserve each ClusterSpec.node_sets map key through
ClusterOrder.NodeRequest, rather than relying on ResourceClass alone. Update
handleNodePool and related status updates to attribute every NodePool to the
matching ClusterNodeSet by this validated stable identifier, allowing multiple
node sets with the same host type without overwriting status.

Revise the granular cluster status design to fix mechanisms flagged in
self-review that would not behave as originally described:

- ready_replicas: verified against the pinned HyperShift API that no
  per-node ready count is reachable (NodePoolStatus has only Replicas;
  operator has no Cluster-API access). Document ready_replicas as binary;
  current_replicas (status.Replicas) still provides granular join/scaling
  progress. State the follow-up needed for a true ready count.
- Stall detection: key each stage timer off its stage-marking CR
  condition's own lastTransitionTime (or a persisted reason/since pair),
  not PROGRESSING's - which only bumps on status change, not reason change.
  Mandate a fake-clock test asserting stage-elapsed, not run-elapsed.
- state_transition_time: single authoritative writer (operator feedback
  path); reconciler read-only. Avoids read-modify-write race.
- Teardown stall: DELETE_FAILED reserved for a real HyperShift failure;
  slow teardown stays DELETING and surfaces Stalled via teardown thresholds.
- Version skew: correct proto3 unknown-enum semantics (values round-trip
  as raw numbers, not coerced to UNSPECIFIED); require CLI/CEL to bucket
  unknown values.
- WorkersJoining threshold per-host-type overridable; defaults provisional.
- Clarify size vs desired_replicas; add measurable graduation criteria;
  add documentation-boundary non-goal.

AI Design Review: EP-227

Score: 8/8 | Verdict: PASS

Criterion Score Notes
Feasibility 2/2 Exceptionally detailed implementation. Proto schemas included with enum values, field types, and numbers. All lifecycle operations covered (provisioning stages, scaling, deletion with teardown sub-stages). Hard parts addressed head-on: stall detection uses per-stage CR condition lastTransitionTime (not cumulative PROGRESSING time), ready_replicas binary limitation at pinned HyperShift explicitly documented with rationale, state_transition_time single-writer design to avoid read-modify-write races. Five specific risks with concrete mitigations (e.g., append-only enums + metering safe default for consumer breakage). Drawbacks section steel-mans the complexity cost.
Testability 2/2 Test plan specifies concrete scenarios at each level. Unit: table-driven feedback controller mapping with Reason preserved, two latent-bug regressions, fake-clock stall timer asserting stage-elapsed not run-elapsed, per-node-set attribution with multiple NodePools, event emission guard. Integration: fulfillment-service Ginkgo/kind for Get/List/describe/CEL columns; osac-operator envtest driving fake HC/NodePool through full provisioning + deletion. E2E: pytest/gRPC provision asserting distinct stages, delete asserting DELETING observed; honestly calls out stall timing and partial-worker-failure as hard to reproduce in E2E. Graduation criteria are measurable across three stages (Dev Preview/Tech Preview/GA) with specific conditions.
Scope 2/2 Tightly scoped to CaaS cluster status reporting with clear boundaries. Non-goals are specific and justified: UI (owned by osac-ux, separate tracking), metering billing (OSAC-4077), VMaaS/BMaaS (separate features with ticket refs), cluster upgrades (OSAC-1415), true per-node health count (HyperShift pin limitation). PRD referenced in frontmatter and summary. Five real alternatives with clear rejection rationale. Cross-cutting dimensions addressed: provisioning (core topic), storage (ClusterStorageReady mapped), UI (deferred with UX Alignment section), documentation (deferred in non-goals), E2E (in test plan). No scope creep signals.
Architecture 2/2 Follows OSAC patterns precisely. Reuses the proven ComputeInstance table-driven condition mapping pattern. Orthogonal condition types justified by the need to express simultaneous 'control plane healthy, workers failed' (AC-3). Proto enum is append-only with version skew analysis (proto3 preserves unknown numbers). Spec/status ownership clear: desired_replicas from NodePool spec, current/ready from NodePool status. Identifies and fixes two latent bugs (condition name mismatch dropping ready signal, unmapped conditions). Dependencies in order (fulfillment-service proto first, then osac-operator). No new CRDs/services/RBAC. Terminology consistent throughout. Support procedures and disabling mechanism documented.

Verdict: A high-quality design document that follows OSAC patterns precisely, provides deep implementation detail with proto schemas and codebase references, identifies latent bugs, and includes a specific multi-level test plan with measurable graduation criteria.

Feedback: This design is ready for merge with minor polish. Consider adding explicit configurable threshold values to the proto or a ConfigMap spec (the text says 'controller-configurable' but doesn't specify the configuration mechanism — Helm values, ConfigMap, controller flags). The ClusterNodeSet proto sketch notes field numbers are 'indicative' — nail these down before implementation to avoid review churn. The stall timer design is thorough but the '(observedReason, since) pair in ClusterOrder status' fallback for stages without a dedicated CR condition could benefit from a concrete example showing exactly which stages use this path versus the CR condition lastTransitionTime path.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (2)

  1. Stall threshold configuration mechanism unspecified: the design says thresholds are 'controller-configurable' and 'per-host-type overridable' but doesn't specify where these values live (Helm chart, ConfigMap, controller flags, CRD annotation). This matters for the Installation dimension and for operators tuning thresholds in production.
  2. The (observedReason, since) pair persisted in ClusterOrder status for stages without a dedicated CR condition is described abstractly. Enumerate which stages fall into this category versus which use an existing CR condition's lastTransitionTime, so implementers don't have to reverse-engineer the decision.

Suggestions (3)

  1. The proto sketch says field numbers are 'indicative' and must be appended after the highest existing number. Pin the actual numbers now (or note the current highest) to avoid implementation guesswork.
  2. Consider adding a brief Terminology section (per review-patterns.md recommendation) defining key terms like 'sub-stage reason', 'orthogonal condition', and 'binary ready_replicas' upfront, even though the design uses them consistently — it would help first-time readers of this EP.
  3. The DEGRADED condition's interaction with overall state could be made more explicit: the design says overall state stays READY when DEGRADED is True, but the exact state-machine rule (which conditions must be True/False for each overall state) would benefit from a small truth table.

AI Design Review: EP-227

Score: 8/8 | Verdict: PASS
Feature: OSAC-1604

Criterion Score Notes
Feasibility 2/2 Deep technical detail throughout. Proto schemas included with enum values, field types, and numbering notes (private vs public offsets). All lifecycle operations covered — provisioning (5 stages), scaling (AC-4), degradation (AC-3), stalled detection (AC-2), stage unknown (AC-9), and deletion (AC-5). The stall detection design is particularly thorough: per-stage timers keyed off CR condition lastTransitionTime with requeue scheduling for remaining interval. Risks are specific with concrete mitigations (e.g., version-skew safety via append-only enums + proto3 unknown-value preservation). The ready_replicas binary limitation at the pinned HyperShift version is honestly stated rather than hand-waved. The state_transition_time single-writer authority design eliminates read-modify-write races. No hand-waving anywhere.
Testability 2/2 Test plan specifies exactly what is tested at each level. Unit tests include: table-driven CR-to-proto condition mapping, regression tests for both latent bugs, state_transition_time stamping on transitions and stability across no-op reconciles, fake-clock stall timer asserting stage-elapsed vs run-elapsed, per-node-set attribution with multiple NodePools, event emission guarding, and a mixed-version round-trip test for version skew (operator-new -> service-old -> JSON persistence -> client-old). Integration tests: Ginkgo/kind for fulfillment-service (Get/List/CLI), envtest for osac-operator (full provisioning and deletion drive-through). E2E: pytest/gRPC provision and delete asserting distinct stages, with honest acknowledgment that stall timing and partial-worker-failure are primarily integration-tested. Graduation criteria are measurable: Dev Preview (unit coverage), Tech Preview (envtest + E2E + osac-ux type consumption), GA (production soak with no material Stalled false-positives
Scope 2/2 Summary is 4 sentences covering what, why, and key capabilities. Goals are user-visible outcomes. Six non-goals are each specific with rationale and linked tickets (UI -> osac-ux, metering -> OSAC-4077, VMaaS -> OSAC-1027, BMaaS -> separate, cluster upgrade -> OSAC-1415, per-node health count -> HyperShift limitation). Five alternatives with clear rejection rationale. PRD referenced in frontmatter and Summary. Cross-cutting dimensions are well-covered: provisioning (core topic), storage (ClusterStorageReady mapped as readiness gate), E2E testing (osac-test-infra plan), documentation (deferred to implementation), UI (UX Alignment section explains deferral and consistency-by-construction). No scope creep signals — change is bounded to two components in the mono-repo.
Architecture 2/2 All OSAC patterns followed. The complete CR-to-proto condition mapping table with explicit disposition for every condition (no silent default) is excellent. The state-vs-READY-condition contract is precisely defined — state is lifecycle-only, READY condition is full-health rollup. Availability precedence truth table for CONTROL_PLANE_AVAILABLE (KubeAPIServerAvailable AND-gated with Available) covers all {True,False,Unknown} combinations. Two latent bugs properly identified with codebase references (name mismatch drops ready signal, unmapped conditions ignored). Version skew strategy with proto3 unknown-value semantics and consumer-side unknown-bucketing is thorough. Per-node-set stable identity key design avoids the host-type collision problem. Dependencies clearly identified: fulfillment-service proto/CLI/tables then osac-operator feedback/resource controllers, plus osac-test-infra for E2E and osac-ux for type regeneration. Terminology (condition types, reason vocabulary, state vs con

Verdict: This is an exemplary design document — deeply technical, architecturally sound, and honest about limitations — that follows all OSAC patterns, provides complete condition mapping with no silent defaults, includes proto schemas, thoroughly addresses failure modes and version skew, and specifies a concrete multi-level test strategy with measurable graduation criteria.

Feedback: The design is ready for merge with only minor polish suggestions. Consider specifying the configuration mechanism for stall thresholds (ConfigMap, controller flags, etc.) rather than leaving it at 'controller-configurable' — reviewers will ask. The degraded-to-healthy recovery path (workers recover, DEGRADED clears, WORKERS_READY flips True, READY condition goes True) is implied by idempotent re-derivation each reconcile but could be stated as an explicit variation alongside the existing degradation scenario for completeness.

Critical (0)

None.

None.

Suggestions (3)

  1. Stall threshold configuration mechanism is unspecified — 'controller-configurable with generous defaults' doesn't say whether these are controller flags, a ConfigMap, or CRD fields. Specifying the mechanism would prevent a design-vs-implementation divergence question during review.
  2. The degraded-to-healthy recovery path (workers recover after partial failure) is implied by the idempotent re-derivation design but not listed as an explicit workflow variation — adding it alongside the existing Degraded (AC-3) variation would make the bidirectional condition lifecycle clearer.
  3. The (observedReason, since) pair for stall detection on stages without a dedicated CR condition is described conceptually but the storage location within ClusterOrder status could be more specific — e.g., a named status field or annotation — to guide implementers.

Agreed the collision is confusing. Renamed the rollup condition READY -> AVAILABLE (number unchanged). This follows the OpenShift ClusterOperator / HyperShift HostedCluster convention, where Available/Progressing/Degraded is the cluster-level health rollup and there is no cluster-level Ready condition (Kubernetes reserves Ready for Nodes). So "usable but not fully healthy" now reads as state=READY + AVAILABLE condition False, with no word collision. The rename is safe because the READY condition is never actually emitted today (latent bug 1 drops it at the feedback boundary), so no stored object or consumer depends on it. Updated the condition table, the state-vs-condition contract, the CR->proto mapping, and the tests.

The operator doesn't track "we are degraded" as a state it later has to undo. On every reconcile it recomputes all conditions from scratch based on what HyperShift currently reports. DEGRADED is set to True only while the operator observes a problem (HC Degraded, or a NodePool not AllNodesHealthy). The moment the underlying problem clears - HC Degraded back to False and every NodePool Ready AND AllNodesHealthy - the next reconcile simply recomputes DEGRADED as False; WORKERS_READY flips back True and the AVAILABLE condition returns True. So there's no dedicated "clear degraded" code path; it clears on the next reconcile once the signals recover. I added an explicit "Degraded -> recovered" variation to the workflow section spelling this out (same for Scaling, which clears when the resized set reaches desired_replicas).

AI Design Review: EP-227

Score: 8/8 | Verdict: PASS
Feature: OSAC-1604

Criterion Score Notes
Feasibility 2/2 Exceptionally specific implementation detail. Proto schemas included with enum values and field types. Exhaustive CR-to-proto condition mapping table with every condition having an explicit disposition (no silent default). Stall detection mechanism carefully designed with per-stage timers (not cumulative), requeue scheduling, and fake-clock testing. The binary ready_replicas limitation at the pinned HyperShift version is honestly documented rather than hidden. All lifecycle operations covered (provisioning stages, scaling, degradation, teardown). Five specific risks with concrete mitigations. Drawbacks section acknowledges the complexity cost and frames it as the necessary price of the PRD's visibility requirements.
Testability 2/2 Test plan is thorough and specific at all three levels. Unit tests enumerate concrete scenarios: table-driven feedback mapping with Reason preserved, regression tests for two named latent bugs, state_transition_time stability, fake-clock stall detection (asserting stage-elapsed not run-elapsed), per-node-set attribution, event emission guarding, and a mixed-version round-trip test for version skew safety. Integration tests specify infrastructure (Ginkgo/kind for fulfillment-service, envtest for osac-operator) and drive through the full provisioning lifecycle including deletion. E2E tests describe user-observable scenarios with an honest note that stall timing and partial-worker-failure are hard to reproduce in E2E and are primarily integration-tested. Graduation criteria are concrete and measurable across three stages (Dev Preview, Tech Preview, GA) with specific conditions at each.
Scope 2/2 Cleanly bounded scope with specific, well-justified non-goals citing Jira tickets (UI deferred to osac-ux, metering billing to OSAC-4077, VMaaS to OSAC-1027, upgrades to OSAC-1415). Summary is concise at ~4 sentences. Goals are user-visible outcomes, not implementation tasks. Five real alternatives with specific rationale for rejection. PRD referenced in frontmatter and body. All relevant cross-cutting dimensions from osac-dimensions.md addressed: CaaS service, Tenant User and Cloud Provider Admin personas in the workflow, storage readiness as a condition gate, UI and documentation explicitly deferred. No scope creep signals.
Architecture 2/2 Follows all OSAC patterns rigorously. Adapts the proven OSAC-1027 ComputeInstance model for clusters with clear justification for where it diverges (orthogonal condition types needed for simultaneous control-plane/worker health - AC-3). Proto enum naming follows conventions (CLUSTER_CONDITION_TYPE_*). Spec/status ownership is explicit (status is system-controlled, never client-settable). state_transition_time has a single authoritative writer with the prior duplicate writer removed. Dependencies identified in order across two mono-repo components with no cross-repo changes. Version skew strategy is thorough - addresses proto3 unknown enum preservation, CLI/CEL rendering of unrecognized values, and includes a mixed-version round-trip unit test. The READY→AVAILABLE rename is defended with analysis (never populated due to latent bug 1, no stored objects rely on it). Integration with existing services (Events.Watch, metering stream, CLI) is well-described.

Verdict: An exemplary design document that adapts the proven OSAC-1027 ComputeInstance status pattern to CaaS clusters with deep technical specificity, exhaustive condition mapping, honest documentation of limitations, and a thorough multi-level test plan.

Feedback: The design is strong across all dimensions. Two minor improvements: (1) Consider adding a formal Terminology section at the top - while terms are well-defined inline, the review-patterns.md reference library notes this as a pattern of successful EPs, and the number of new concepts (orthogonal conditions, sub-stage reasons, stage thresholds, availability precedence) would benefit from a consolidated glossary. (2) The Graduation Criteria GA stage ('production soak with no material Stalled false-positives over an agreed window') would be stronger with a proposed soak duration and false-positive threshold rather than deferring both to finalization.

Critical (0)

None.

Important (0)

None.

Suggestions (3)

  1. Add a formal Terminology section defining key concepts (orthogonal condition types, sub-stage reason, availability precedence, stage threshold) consolidated in one place, per the pattern established by the Networking EP and noted in review-patterns.md.
  2. Strengthen the GA graduation criterion with a proposed soak window duration and a concrete false-positive threshold (e.g., '<N Stalled false-positives over 2 weeks') rather than deferring both values to release targeting.
  3. The READY→AVAILABLE enum rename safety argument ('never populated today, dropped at feedback boundary by latent bug 1') is sound but could be bolstered by noting whether any downstream consumer (e.g., osac-ux generated types, osac-test-infra assertions) references the CLUSTER_CONDITION_TYPE_READY symbol by name, to confirm no compile-time breakage.

Thanks @rccrdpccl - addressed both inline comments and pushed the changes:

  • Renamed the rollup condition READY -> AVAILABLE (OpenShift/HyperShift convention) so it no longer collides with the lifecycle state=READY.
  • Documented how DEGRADED clears (idempotent re-derivation each reconcile; no dedicated clear path).

Also folded in the one remaining CodeRabbit nit (happy-path ready_replicas wording). Ready for another look.
