Aleksei Sviridkin 0c18c8687b fix(gpu): start the KubeVirt watches only once KubeVirt serves its kinds
On a fresh install the platform turns GPUs for VMs on, and so passes
--enable-gpu, while KubeVirt's operator may not have installed the VMI,
VM and KubeVirt CRDs yet. An informer on a kind no CRD serves cannot
start, and cozystack-controller exited on it, taking every reconciler
down with the GPU paths.

Now nothing outside the GPU paths waits for KubeVirt. The binder starts
with its other watches and reads no VMI, VM or KubeVirt object while
their kinds are not served, so finalizers, usage records and placement
keep running, and joins the KubeVirt watches from a runnable once the
kinds appear. While a device is attached, an unserved kind is a gap in
discovery rather than an absent VMI, and the pass fails instead of
detaching a running VM's device.

Every replica warms the informers the webhooks read, and readiness
fails until those that need no KubeVirt have synced. Readiness does not
wait for KubeVirt itself: cozystack-api, the dashboard and the lineage
webhook wait for cozystack-controller to be ready, and must not wait
for KubeVirt, nor hang when it is not installed. The VMI and KubeVirt
informers start once their kinds are served.

Aleksei Sviridkin 2aaf7f6872 feat(gpu): count the KubeVirt table's GPU names as GPU resource names
The NVIDIA and mediated entries of the KubeVirt permittedHostDevices
table are GPU resource names besides the hoster's gpu.resourceNames
list, whether the hoster sets one or not. Without that, a
GPU name only the table carries, on a node whose agent reports nothing
and with no class of its own, would not be a GPU resource name: under
forbidden the raw-name policy would let a VM or a pod request it
directly, and the VMI webhook would take it for a non-GPU host device.

The binder adds those names to the effective set it publishes in the
settings ConfigMap, which the policy and cozystack-api read, and the VMI
webhook adds them when it looks for a VMI's own GPU entries. A PCI entry
of another vendor, such as a ConnectX VF, stays out. Whether a class's
resource name is in the table at all is still checked against every
PCI and mediated entry.

Aleksei Sviridkin 9fc57e7e07 fix(gpu): count a pod as a VMI's launcher only when the VMI lists it
The binder, the VMI webhook, the catalog option source and the usage
records each leave out of a pod's GPU usage the units its VMI's devices
already hold. They matched the pod to the VMI by its owner reference,
the usage records also by the device-reference label, and whoever
creates the pod writes both, so a pod naming a VMI with attached
devices could hide its GPUs from capacity, raw-key budgets and the
usage records.

A pod now counts as a VMI's launcher only when that VMI lists the pod's
UID in status.activePods; any other pod's GPUs count as raw-name usage.
One shared reader decides it for all four. The binder takes the active
pods from the VMIs it already lists, the webhook from the VMI informer
every replica warms, the usage records from a read of the named VMI,
and cozystack-api reads the named VMI only for a pod that requests a
raw GPU name, for which it gains get on virtualmachineinstances.

The chart writes the device references and the webhook reads them, in

Aleksei Sviridkin 964bbcaf95 fix(gpu): share the tenant, quota, coverage and capacity readers
The binder, the admission webhooks, the catalog option source and the
tenant quota gate carried copies of the tenant release name mapping,
the resourceQuotas reader, the permittedHostDevices reader and the
per-VMI device coverage, and the copies had started to drift: the
catalog skipped a budget it could not read, where the others failed.
The VMI webhook still counted one unit per healthy GPU function when a
node had lost capacity, so it refused a VM whose devices an mdev
parent's remaining slots still served while the binder would have kept
them; the units a node serves are now counted once, for both.

They now live in the shared model, next to the tenant walk they depend
on. Coverage keeps two named readers on purpose: for budgets every
attached device covers its pod, since a Lost device still counts
itself, while for node capacity only a device holding units does.
Merging them would count a Lost device twice or not at all.

Aleksei Sviridkin 7d1d238f4d feat(cozystack-basics): enforce gpu.rawResourceNames forbidden
With raw names forbidden a GPU reaches a VM only through a GPUDevice
reference, which makes a held device a hard guarantee. A VMI carrying a
GPU entry (any gpus entry, a hostDevices entry or a resource of a GPU
resource name) without the device-reference label is refused, which
covers a VM written by a tenant super-admin, a VMIReplicaSet and a
worker pool. A pod requesting a GPU resource name is refused unless
kubevirt-controller creates it with a VMI owner, as it does for
virt-launcher and migration target pods.

The GPU resource names come from the settings ConfigMap the controller
publishes. The binding fails closed without it, and since the parameter
is resolved before any expression runs, the bindings select tenant
namespaces only; anything wider would block every pod in the cluster,
the controller's own included, until the ConfigMap exists. The
usage-monitor label policy now selects tenant namespaces the same way,
so the two cannot disagree on what a tenant namespace is, and its
ratchet also refuses changing the label's value, which could make an
object labelled before the policy start matching the monitor.

Aleksei Sviridkin 91f922d380 feat(cozystack-controller): serve the GPU webhooks with GPU enabled
The GPU admission webhooks need a Service, a serving certificate and
webhook configurations, and the binder's metrics need a port a scrape
can reach. All of it renders only with GPU enabled, which the platform
sets where KubeVirt serves GPUs, so clusters without KubeVirt change
nothing.

The webhooks fail closed. The two mutating ones select only VMIs and
virt-launcher pods carrying the device-reference label, the pod webhook
also requiring the virt-launcher label, so of VMIs and pods a
controller outage blocks only the start of VMs with device references;
the GPUDevice webhook blocks new orders as well. The controller then
runs two replicas behind a PDB, since a single fail-closed replica
would block those starts on every rollout.

Aleksei Sviridkin 1d7b20e258 feat(gpu): serve the GPUDevice, VMI and virt-launcher admission webhooks
A tenant references held devices and device templates on the VMI
template; something has to turn those references into GPUs on one node
before KubeVirt renders the launcher pod, and refuse a start that cannot
work instead of leaving a VMI Pending with no pod.

The GPUDevice webhook refuses an order that cannot be met now: an
unknown or deleted class, maxCount, the class's free units or one
node's, a budget of the tenant or an ancestor, or a vGPU class without
the entitlement.

The VMI webhook runs every refusal check before it writes anything, so
a dry run and a refused start leave no trace. It then creates the
template devices, attaches the whole set with optimistic concurrency so
two VMIs never take one device, and waits a bounded time for the
leader's binder to place the set on one node. The API server calls it
again after virt-api's mutator changes the VMI, so a recent answered
request for the same VMI is taken as its own and nothing is written
twice. It adds a gpus entry per GPU and never a resources key as
well, since the launcher pod would request the sum.

The pod webhook pins the launcher pod to the devices' node with a
required node affinity on the pod, because LiveUpdate rewrites the
VMI's affinity from the VM template.

Aleksei Sviridkin ccaef2f877 feat(gpu-node-agent): restrict the agent to its own node's GPUNode
RBAC cannot name the caller's node, so the agent's role lets every
agent write every GPUNode, and a compromised node could rewrite the

the node name as a user extra, which a ValidatingAdmissionPolicy can

Aleksei Sviridkin dca23da220 feat(gpu): add the GPU node agent inventory
GPUNode is the hoster's per-node view of GPUs and the binder's source
of device health, so something on each node has to report it. The
agent reads the GPU functions from sysfs and what kubelet's device
plugins make of them from the pod-resources API.

Plugins report devices by PCI address, mdev UUID or IOMMU group, so each
ID is resolved through sysfs by its shape rather than by knowing the
plugin. A group counts only through functions bound to vfio, so the
plain indexes NVIDIA's container plugin may report do not read as
groups. GPUs of NVIDIA's container plugin, reported by NVML UUID, cannot
be placed through sysfs, but their resource name still joins
resourceNames, since pods request GPUs by it. pod-resources carries no
health; kubelet lists only healthy devices as allocatable, which is what
the agent reads health from, and it counts them per function, because an
mdev parent serves several. Pods in a final phase are skipped because
kubelet 1.32 and 1.33 still list them with devices a new pod may hold.

The binder writes conditions into the same status, so the agent only
merge-patches its own fields, and it writes no GPUNode but its own
node's.

Aleksei Sviridkin 4fcea35985 feat(cozystack-controller): wire the GPU controller and its flags
The GPU reconciler always runs, so GPU finalizers and usage records are
handled on every cluster, including ones that later turn GPU off;
--enable-gpu adds placement and the KubeVirt watches. GPU admission
webhooks are registered only with it, because asking the manager for
its webhook server starts it and the server needs a serving
certificate. The hoster's resource-name list and raw-name policy come
in as flags and are written to the settings ConfigMap for the
admission policies to read.

GPU admission waits for the binder only seconds, so every replica has
to answer from warm caches: with GPU enabled, the informers it needs
start before the manager on every replica rather than at the first
admission, readiness waits for exactly those to sync, and the leader
releases its lease on shutdown so a rollout does not leave bind
requests unanswered for a lease duration. The ConfigMap cache holds
only the settings object. Non-positive grace periods are refused, since
a zero attachment grace would clear every attachment before its VMI
appears.

Aleksei Sviridkin f069963eb9 feat(cozystack-controller): stop counting device GPUs on virt-launcher pods
Each GPUDevice now has a usage record of its own, so the virt-launcher
pod of a VMI with device references would report the same GPUs a
second time. The units the VMI's attached devices hold are subtracted
after the resources annotation is merged, since that annotation may
name the GPU too; names the devices do not cover, such as a NIC next to
the GPU, stay reported.

The Workload controller already deletes a record only when its monitor
is gone, which is what lets GPU records live under a monitor that
selects nothing; a test now pins that.

Aleksei Sviridkin 9da24c2aa8 feat(gpu): bind, move and release GPU devices in the leader
The binder is the only writer of a device's placement, so budget and
capacity checks that admission already ran cannot be raced past by two
replicas or two webhook calls. Every event collapses into one pass over
all GPU objects, which serializes the decisions without per-object
locks, and devices are read past the cache so a unit booked in the last
pass is never booked again from a stale view.

A device that carries an unanswered bind request also queues a pass
that only answers requests, so the webhook, which waits seconds, is not
held behind moves, usage records and status of the whole cluster. The
full pass moves held sets off nodes that cannot keep them, rebinds Lost
sets before new orders, and binds new orders onto the fullest node with
room. Finalizers and usage records run with the feature disabled too,
so turning GPU off never hangs a namespace or class deletion.

The devices one VM names move, go Lost and are rebound as a set. Every
pass restores that invariant before it places anything, gathering a set
left partly Lost, by a write that failed half way or by a VMI that ended
next to held members, onto one node or sending all of it to Lost, so
each later step only ever changes whole sets.

A Lost device already counts against its tenant's budgets, so the pod of
its still running VMI is not counted again under a raw GPU key; for node
capacity it is, since the device itself holds no units.

Aleksei Sviridkin cede4f7dc9 feat(cozystack-basics): reserve the GPU usage-monitor label
The GPU controller writes the usage records of held devices under a
WorkloadMonitor whose selector is a reserved label key, so the monitor
must match nothing and tenant labels cannot shape GPU usage records.
A write that adds the key to any object or subresource in a tenant
namespace is refused, whoever makes it, which also covers the
virt-launcher pods that copy a VM template's labels and the
DataVolumes created from a VM's dataVolumeTemplates.

The policy renders whether or not GPUs are on, so no tenant can place
the label before the hoster turns GPUs on. It ratchets: an object that
already carries the key can still be updated, lose its finalizers and
drop the key, so nothing labelled before the policy can get stuck. It
sees every write in those namespaces, so its expression reads only
metadata and guards each step.

Aleksei Sviridkin 32fc6114e9 feat(cozystack-basics): keep tenants off GPUDevice finalizers and mark
Whoever orders GPUDevice objects must not touch two parts of a device.
The device finalizer keeps a released device, its binding and its usage
record until no VMI uses it, so a tenant who could drop it could take a
held device out of the usage records. The template-device label is the
mark the VMI webhook is to set on devices it creates from a
deviceTemplate, and the GPU controller deletes devices so marked with
their VMI, so on a tenant's own order it would get that order deleted.
Both are refused for everyone but platform callers, matched by group
like the other cozystack-basics policies: cozy-system and kube-system
service accounts and cluster admins, plus kube-controller-manager,
which has no group of its own. The orphan and foregroundDeletion
finalizers belong to the API server and the garbage collector and stay

Aleksei Sviridkin 30de93c031 feat(cozystack-basics): freeze a held GPUClass, refuse deleted orders
Held devices and their usage records name their class, so while the
class carries its protection finalizer, what it sells (vendor, model,
mode, profile, memory, maxCount and the kind of source) cannot change.
The policy relies on the GPU controller setting the finalizer on every
class, so a changed offer is a new class. resourceName and nodeSelector
stay open for host-layer changes and for moving the offer. CRD rules
cannot see finalizers, so this is an admission policy, and it reads the
stored object so the write that drops the finalizer cannot change the
spec as well.

A class being deleted waits only for the devices that already hold it,
so a second policy, evaluated once per class, refuses new orders of it.

The policies render only where the platform switched GPUs for VMs on.
Their tests evaluate the expressions read from the chart, compiled for
both the current library and the oldest served Kubernetes minor.

Aleksei Sviridkin f668efa116 feat(gpu): add the shared GPU placement and budget model
The binder re-checks what admission checked, and cozystack-api shows
the remaining budget a later order is checked against; computing these
in three places would let them disagree. The model is pure, so each
caller builds a snapshot from its own cache.

GPU budgets cap the whole subtree of the tenant that declares them,
walked over the namespace ancestry and independent of the tenant quota
pools. A raw GPU key blocks a class until the same tenant also declares
a GPU key, and then caps devices and raw-name pods together. Pod usage
follows the scheduler's arithmetic, sidecars included, so the binder
never books a unit a raw-name pod holds.

A node takes binds only when it is schedulable, Ready and carries no
NoSchedule or NoExecute taint the pod does not tolerate; the
unschedulable, not-ready and unreachable taints are left to the first
two checks, and a taint never counts as a cordon. Gt and Lt
tolerations do not count, since the scheduler ignores them where their
feature gate is off.

Template device names are derived from the VMI and shortened with a
hash when the VMI name leaves no room, so they stay valid subdomains.

Aleksei Sviridkin 18a3ce5a24 feat(api): add gpu.cozystack.io GPUClass, GPUDevice and GPUNode
GPUs become a catalog of hoster offers, tenant reservations against
them and a per-node inventory, so a tenant can hold a GPU while its VM
is off and an order that does not fit is refused at create time.

The CRDs enforce what the apiserver alone can: a class name is a DNS
label other than total because it becomes part of a quota key, the
source is a union with dra reserved for a later member, a device's
spec is immutable and orders at least one GPU, and bound devices are
listable per node through a field selector on status.nodeName. A
class resource name must be a valid extended resource outside
gpu.cozystack.io, where it would read as a GPU budget key. The CRDs
are kept on chart uninstall, since they ship as plain templates and
deleting GPUDevice would drop every hold and usage record.

maxCount carries no schema default: it defaults to 1 for vgpu classes
and to no limit for passthrough, which a structural default cannot
express, so readers resolve it through the shared model.

A GPUNode device reports how many device-plugin devices kubelet
counts as allocatable for it, because an mdev parent serves several
from one PCI function and one healthy entry per function would
undercount the node.

Andrey Kolkov 9af1c0f902 fix(backups): prepare standalone VMDisk restore targets before the data mover runs
collectUnderlyingResources returned nothing for a non-VMInstance kind, so
prepareForRestore did nothing for a standalone VMDisk: no HelmRelease suspend and
no DataVolume delete. An in-place VMDisk restore then raced Flux/CDI — the
restored HelmRelease reinstalled and CDI recreated the DataVolume over the same
PVC name the data mover was repopulating, wedging the RestoreJob.

Report a standalone VMDisk's own disk as its underlying resource, so the existing
(VMInstance-proven) restore preparation suspends the vm-disk-<name> HelmRelease,
deletes its DataVolume and — with keepOriginalPVC — renames the live PVC before
the data mover recreates and repopulates it. No VM, so no IP/MAC is collected.

A VMInstance is halted before its disks are touched; a VMDisk target is not,
and every VMInstance disk is a VMDisk. Renaming the PVC of a disk a running VM
mounts leaves the original Terminating behind pvc-protection, Velero skips a
PVC that still exists, and the RestoreJob would report Succeeded having moved
nothing while the VM loses its disk on the next restart. An in-place VMDisk
restore now fails before changing anything when a Pod that has not terminated
mounts the disk's PVC, naming the Pod and telling the user to stop the VM or
restore the VMInstance instead.

A VMDisk Backup taken before the disk was recorded as its underlying
resource has none, so its disk is now derived from the application name
and such a restore is prepared and checked for a mounting Pod as well.

The per-disk orLabelSelectors stay a VMInstance concern. A VMDisk
strategy already selects its disk, and Velero rejects a Backup or
Restore that carries both labelSelector and orLabelSelectors, so
appending them for a VMDisk would break a strategy written with
labelSelector.

When an in-place restore fails after preparation, nothing is rolled
back: resuming the disk's HelmRelease while its PVC is renamed and its
DataVolume deleted would have CDI import a fresh disk under the original
name, which looks healthy and hides that the data sits in the -orig-
PVC. The failure message and a Warning event now name the suspended
HelmReleases and the -orig- PVCs so the user can recover them, read back
from the cluster, so a failure before a step ran does not name what it
would have left.

Preparation takes the target apart before Velero validates the Restore,
so it is refused up front when the Velero Backup is gone or not
Completed. That check now runs on every pass behind the same failure
path as the rest of preparation, and a FailedValidation Restore fails
the RestoreJob like a Failed one instead of leaving it Running. A
HelmRelease suspend or a VM halt that did not happen now stops
preparation instead of renaming and deleting under a running release or
VM, and a VMInstance's disks are renamed only once its launcher Pod has
let go of them. A VMDisk held only by a Pod already being deleted is
waited for rather than refused, for
up to 30 minutes after the RestoreJob started.

Between renaming a kept disk's PVC and deleting its DataVolume, CDI can
recreate an empty PVC under the original name. Velero then skips the
PVC as already present, the RestoreJob reports Succeeded and the VM
boots a blank disk. Once the DataVolume is gone, preparation now
deletes a PVC found under the original name, read uncached, before the
Velero Restore is created.

Preparation spans several reconciles, so the RestoreJob records a
PreparationStarted condition before it first changes the target, and
retries without changing anything when recording it fails. A
refusal on a later pass (the Velero Backup expired, a VM started on the
disk) then names what preparation left behind instead of claiming that
nothing changed, and a preparation still waiting 30 minutes after it
started fails the same way instead of polling forever.

Now that a VMDisk target is prepared, keepOriginalPVC=false reaches it
too: its DataVolume is deleted with orphan propagation and the bound PVC
is deleted before the Restore, as for a VMInstance disk. Left in place,
Velero would skip it and CDI would refuse the DataVolume the resumed
HelmRelease creates.

Andrey Kolkov 0c2f131192 feat(backups): back up Valkey with the Redis strategy
Valkey runs on the same spotahome RedisFailover operator as Redis and
speaks the same replication protocol and RDB format, so it needs no
strategy kind of its own. The only difference the backup Job sees is the
chart's resource-name prefix: valkey-<app> instead of redis-<app> for the
sentinel Service and the auth Secret.

The Redis driver now accepts applicationRef kind Valkey as well as Redis
and hands the template .Release.Prefix, derived from the app's kind, which
cozy-default-redis uses for every name it builds. A kind with no known
prefix fails the render instead of producing an empty one. cozy-default
routes apps.cozystack.io/Valkey to cozy-default-redis. A restore must
target an app of the same kind as the backup's source: replaying a Redis
dump into Valkey, or the reverse, is not something the strategy can
promise across engine releases.

The shipped template reads the prefix as `.Release.Prefix | default
"redis-"`: during an upgrade the previous controller, which has no Prefix
in its render context and serves only Redis, renders the new CR, and a
bare reference would print "<no value>" into the names.

The redis:8 image already loads RDB v11, which both shipped Valkey
versions (7.2, 8.1) write.

Aleksei Sviridkin 785cbc391b fix(fluxcd): keep Helm uninstall working during flux-plunger recovery (#4293)
## What this PR does

Fixes #4060.

`flux-plunger` recovers a HelmRelease stuck with `has no deployed
releases` by briefly suspending it, deleting the stale Helm storage
Secret, recording a processed-version annotation, and unsuspending.
helm-controller v1.5.x skips the Helm uninstall and drops its finalizer
when it handles a delete on a suspended HelmRelease, and it wakes on the
same delete event flux-plunger does, so a delete arriving inside that
window orphaned every resource the release owns (for a VMDisk:
DataVolume, PVCs, the CDI importer pod, RBAC, WorkloadMonitor and the
storage Secret itself). Lifting the suspension on the delete event
cannot win that race reliably. The bug is not specific to VMDisk.

The change makes such a delete reach the uninstall:

- **An uninstall fence.** The suspension is applied together with a
flux-plunger finalizer, `flux-plunger.cozystack.io/uninstall-fence`, in
one server-side apply, so flux-plunger never holds a suspension without
it. If a delete arrives while the release is suspended, the fence keeps
the object whether helm-controller or flux-plunger handles the delete
first: flux-plunger lifts its suspension and keeps the fence,
helm-controller reconciles the unsuspended generation and runs the
uninstall, and flux-plunger removes the fence once helm-controller's
finalizer is gone and it has observed that generation. A recovery that
completes lifts the suspension and the fence together. A terminating
HelmRelease never begins recovery, and termination is re-checked
immediately before deleting the storage Secret.
- **Only flux-plunger's own suspension is acted on.** Ownership is
decided by which field manager owns `spec.suspend` in
`metadata.managedFields`: the apiserver transfers the field away the
moment an operator (or `cozyhr resume`, or a backup/restore controller)
writes a different value to it, so a later suspension is never misread
as flux-plunger's. A suspension set through the shared
`flux-client-side-apply` manager (platform migrations, the tenant delete
hook, an operator's manual `kubectl apply`) is never claimed. A release
deleted under another manager's suspension is that manager's decision:
flux-plunger does not hold it with the fence, and helm-controller leaves
its resources in place, as the migrations that suspend and then delete
rely on.
- **No suspension taken over in a race.** Acquiring applies without
forcing first and, on a conflict, re-fetches and forces only if
`spec.suspend` is still `false`: a backup controller owns the field at
`false` via a dynamic-client `Update`, which a non-forced apply can
never take. Every apply flux-plunger sends, acquiring as well as lifting
the suspension or the fence, is preconditioned on the `resourceVersion`
and `uid` of the read that decided on it. The `resourceVersion` makes a
write landing in between fail the apply instead of being absorbed:
acquire then defers rather than adopt or take over a suspension set
meanwhile, and lifting the suspension and the fence from a release read
as live cannot delete it without an uninstall if helm-controller has
handled a delete in the meantime. The `uid` stops an apply to a release
that has gone from creating an empty one, since server-side apply
creates what does not exist. A conflict is retried through the requeue.
The apply carries only `spec.suspend` and the fence, so it cannot leak
the required `spec.interval` and conflict on it.
- **Fresh reads.** The release, every re-check and the storage Secret
list are read from the apiserver (an uncached `APIReader`), not the
informer cache. A lagging cache would let the processed-version guard
delete the revision below the one just reclaimed, and the ClusterRole
grants secrets `get`/`list` but not `watch`, which an informer needs to
stay synced; flux-plunger deliberately does not cache Secrets. Every
step requeues with backoff on failure.
- **Events.** A Warning when flux-plunger holds a suspension it failed
to clear, and a Warning when a delete has been held by the fence for
more than ten minutes waiting for helm-controller (the held state is
re-checked on a timer, not only on helm-controller's next status write).
A release deleted under another manager's suspension gets a Normal event
when that is a migration's choice, and a Warning when the release
carries flux-plunger's processed-version annotation, because then the
skipped uninstall is an accident, not a decision. Normal events also
mark an externally-owned suspension left alone and a recovery deferred
because the release changed between read and write; an external
suspension on a release flux-plunger has recovered before is a Warning
instead, because it is most likely one an earlier flux-plunger left
mid-recovery (see Operating notes). Events from the shutdown drain are
written straight to the apiserver, since the manager's recorder stops
with the manager.
- **The fence is released when flux-plunger goes.** Once its manager has
stopped, and with it every reconcile, flux-plunger drains its fences
under a deadline inside the pod's termination grace period; a stop that
overran its 10s bound is drained too and still reported: a recovery in
progress is aborted, the suspension and the fence lifted together for
the next flux-plunger to start again, and a release being deleted has
flux-plunger's suspension lifted and keeps the fence until
helm-controller has run its uninstall. A release helm-controller does
not handle in time keeps its fence. The drain lives in the controller,
so the envtest suites hold it against a real apiserver's generations and
finalizers. A pre-delete hook on the chart is the backstop for what the
drain could not finish, so uninstalling the component never leaves a
release it cannot finish deleting: it stops flux-plunger, waits out its
grace period, then lifts any remaining suspension and fence without
waiting again, naming each release it lets go of before helm-controller
uninstalled it. It lifts a suspension only where flux-plunger alone
holds it, the outcome the controller's own relinquish has, with a JSON
patch of `spec.suspend` preconditioned on the `resourceVersion` and
`uid` it read; not with `kubectl apply --server-side`, which on a
release last written by a client-side `kubectl apply` moves that apply's
fields to the applying manager and strips every one the body leaves out.
helm-controller runs a pre-delete hook under the release's uninstall
timeout, 300s by default and not set by the operator, so the Job's
deadline sits under it. A Deployment that cannot be stopped or a listing
that never succeeds ends the hook before any fence is touched, and a
fence it cannot remove ends it after the sweep; either way it exits
non-zero, because a failed pre-delete hook leaves the release untouched
and helm-controller retries the uninstall, hook included, whereas
exiting 0 would let the component go and strand the fence. A
flux-plunger pod still there after its grace period, typically one stuck
`Terminating` on a `NotReady` node, is only reported, and the pod wait
is cut to what is left of the hook's retry window; because such a pod
may still be setting fences, the fences are listed again after the sweep
and any found fails the hook. The Job runs once and is kept after
success so its report stays readable until its TTL;
`helm.sh/hook-output-log-policy` is deliberately not used, because
helm-controller never sets Helm's hook output writer and calls a nil one
for it (fluxcd/helm-controller#1562). The hook's kubectl image is
digest-pinned in the chart values, and its RBAC is only what `kubectl
scale`, the listing and the patches issue. The chart's README documents
the finalizer and how to clear it by hand.

A single writer is kept by leader election, not by the rollout. A second
process acting under the same field manager could clear a suspension the
first is still recovering, and no Deployment strategy prevents one: the
next pod starts as soon as the old one is terminating (Kubernetes v1.35
has no pod-replacement policy for Deployments), and an eviction or a
node drain replaces a pod the same way, while the old one stops and
drains. The chart now passes `--leader-elect` with a Role on `leases` in
the release namespace. The Lease is not given up on stop and outlasts
the last renewal, the renew deadline, the manager's bounded stop (10s)
and the drain, and only a flux-plunger that led drains at all, so the
next one acts only once the old one is done; the price is that a new pod
waits for the Lease to run out, a little under two minutes at the
default. The timings derive from one value, `shutdownGracePeriodSeconds`
(90 by default, refused outside 40 to 140 at render): the pod's
termination grace period, the drain deadline (25s less: the manager's
10s stop plus a 15s margin before the kubelet's SIGKILL, both tied to
the Go constants by a contract test) and the hook's pod wait. The
strategy keeps `maxSurge: 0` and `maxUnavailable: 1` and stays
`RollingUpdate` rather than `Recreate` on purpose: the chart shipped
without a strategy block, so every existing install's live Deployment
carries the apiserver-defaulted `rollingUpdate` object and
helm-controller applies server-side, where laying `type: Recreate` over
that populated block is rejected on upgrade.

### Operating notes

A HelmRelease carries the fence only while flux-plunger is recovering it
or waiting for helm-controller to uninstall it. A fenced release whose
uninstall keeps failing stays `Terminating` exactly as any HelmRelease
does under helm-controller's own finalizer, and raises the Warning
above. Stopping flux-plunger drains its fences, and uninstalling it
releases whatever the drain left through the pre-delete hook; a fenced
release that is deleted while flux-plunger is merely scaled to zero, or
killed without a graceful stop, and that helm-controller has not
uninstalled, stays `Terminating` until flux-plunger runs again. To
release one by hand, after confirming its uninstall has run or is not
wanted:

```bash
kubectl patch helmrelease NAME --namespace NAMESPACE --type json --patch '[{"op":"test","path":"/metadata/finalizers/INDEX","value":"flux-plunger.cozystack.io/uninstall-fence"},{"op":"remove","path":"/metadata/finalizers/INDEX"}]'
```

where `INDEX` is the position of
`flux-plunger.cozystack.io/uninstall-fence` in `metadata.finalizers`;
the `test` operation makes the patch fail rather than remove another
finalizer if the list has changed.

Earlier flux-plunger releases set `spec.suspend` through the shared
`flux-client-side-apply` manager, so a suspension one of them left
behind cannot be told apart from a migration's or an operator's and is
treated as external: it is not cleared automatically. Such a leftover
exists only if the old pod stopped in the middle of a recovery, and
flux-plunger raises a `SuspensionNotOwned` Warning on it. The chart
README carries this section too. To list candidates, suspended releases
carrying the flux-plunger annotation whose `spec.suspend` is not owned
by flux-plunger's apply:

```bash
kubectl get helmreleases.helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io --all-namespaces --output json | jq --raw-output '.items[] | select(.spec.suspend == true) | select(.metadata.annotations["flux-plunger.cozystack.io/last-processed-version"] != null) | select([.metadata.managedFields[]? | select(.manager == "flux-plunger" and .operation == "Apply" and .fieldsV1["f:spec"]["f:suspend"] != null)] | length == 0) | "\(.metadata.namespace)/\(.metadata.name)"'
```

Clearing one is an operator action: confirm nothing else (a migration, a
restore) is holding it, then resume it with `flux resume helmrelease
NAME --namespace NAMESPACE`.

### Testing

The regression the issue asks for is
`TestEnvtest_DeleteDuringRecoveryReachesUninstall`: against a real
apiserver, a delete lands while flux-plunger holds its recovery
suspension, and helm-controller's v1.5.0 delete handling is reproduced
step for step (uninstall only when not suspended, finalizer dropped
either way, observed generation recorded). It covers both orders,
helm-controller handling the delete first and flux-plunger handling it
first; without the fence the first order leaves the release gone with no
uninstall. The same suite pins the managedFields ownership dynamics a
fake client cannot represent: the field transfer, the forced acquire
over a dynamic-`Update` owner, the `resourceVersion` precondition
rejecting a write that races either apply, the boundary that a
`flux-client-side-apply` suspension is never claimed, and interval
preservation. The fence mechanics were also checked against a live
helm-controller: with another finalizer holding a deleted, suspended
release, lifting the suspension made helm-controller run the uninstall
and remove the release's resources.

The envtest suite runs on every pull request: a new `make
test-controllers-envtest` target builds a pinned `setup-envtest` and
fetches a kube-apiserver and etcd into `_out/envtest`, which CI caches
and the target reuses without asking the release index, takes the
HelmRelease CRD from the in-tree Flux manifests, and CI calls it next to
`make test-controllers`; the control plane gets a longer start timeout
because it starts beside the other test goals. The drain is held there
too: it aborts a live recovery, carries a delete through the uninstall
and lifts the fence only once helm-controller has observed the
unsuspended generation, keeps the fence when helm-controller never
answers, releases a fence left without a suspension at once, and leaves
another manager's suspension alone.
`TestEnvtest_TheNextFluxPlungerLeadsOnlyAfterTheDrain` runs two real
managers on one Lease: a clean stop still drains, and the second manager
becomes leader only after the first one's drain has ended; it goes red
if the Lease is given up on stop. Unit tests cover the controller logic
(every branch, ordering, requeue, and the ownership decision through an
injected seam), the Lease timing relations, that only a leader drains
and through the manager's API reader rather than its stopped cache, that
a failed listing is retried, that a stop which overran its grace period
is still drained and its events reach the apiserver, and contract tests
tie `main.go`, the chart's flags, the drain's arithmetic and the hook's
names to the Go code. The pre-delete hook is covered by helm-unittest
and by `hack/flux-plunger-fence-hook_test.bats`, which runs its rendered
script against a fake `kubectl` that keeps each release's finalizers,
suspension owner, generation and observed generation, bumps the
generation on a spec write as the apiserver does, answers NotFound
without `--ignore-not-found`, spends simulated time on waits, lists a
release once however many copies of the fence it carries, refuses
`kubectl apply`, lifts a suspension only through the preconditioned JSON
patch and never one another manager also holds, reads a negative
`kubectl wait` timeout as a week as kubectl does, and applies a
finalizer removal only when it is the guarded test-then-remove at an
index that holds the fence. Every mutation in a set covering each
predicate conjunct, each retry, each exit path, the re-listing, the
timings and the selector turns the hook suite red, as does every
mutation in the Go set covering the drain's branches, the Lease timings
and the events; three drain mutations that still survive are tracked in
#4782. The hook script was also run as a Job in the hook's own image on
a live cluster, succeeding, with the Deployment already gone, and with
patch denied by RBAC, where it exited non-zero and named the release it
left; that run caught that a per-call `--request-timeout` makes kubectl
drop its in-cluster config, so the hook sets none and the fake rejects
it. A later live run caught `kubectl apply --server-side` stripping the
finalizers and spec of a release created by a client-side apply; with
the JSON patch the same releases kept every field, the suspension
flux-plunger alone held was lifted, a co-owned and a foreign one stayed,
and every fence went.

### Remaining limitations

- A delete that arrives after recovery has deleted the storage Secret of
a release whose only revision was that one finds no revision to
uninstall; helm-controller then treats the release as already gone.
- A writer that sets `spec.suspend: true` while flux-plunger already
holds it at `true` does not take the field over, because the value does
not change. If such a writer then deletes the release inside the
recovery window (the suspend-then-delete that the tenant delete hook and
some platform migrations use to skip the uninstall), flux-plunger still
sees its own suspension, lifts it, and helm-controller runs the
uninstall that writer meant to skip. The same held before this change,
when the end of recovery unsuspended unconditionally.
- The already-processed guard compares revision numbers only. When Helm
re-creates a revision under the same number after recovery deleted it (a
release whose only revision fails again the same way), recovery runs
again for it.
- `listHelmReleaseSecrets` reads the local cluster only, so a
HelmRelease that targets a remote cluster via `spec.kubeConfig` (whose
storage Secrets live in the remote cluster) is not recovered; it is
skipped, never mis-handled.
- A new flux-plunger pod waits for the old one's Lease to run out before
it acts, on every restart and after a crash: a little under two minutes
at the default. Recovery is not latency-sensitive, and this is what
keeps a single writer while the old pod drains.
- The leader Lease is left in the release namespace after the chart is
uninstalled, as with any controller-runtime leader election; it is
inert.

### Downstream repositories

The trigger map was walked against the diff: it touches
`internal/controller/fluxplunger`, `cmd/flux-plunger`, the
`packages/system/flux-plunger` chart (templates including RBAC for the
leader Lease, a pre-delete hook, values, tests, its package `Makefile`,
README), a new bats test under `hack/`, the root `Makefile` (a new
`test-controllers-envtest` target; existing targets are unchanged) and
the pull-request workflow that calls it and caches its binaries. No row
matches: ccp gates on existing `hack/` files and make targets, and
nothing there is moved, renamed or changed in behaviour; a new test file
and a new target reach none of them. The website's FluxPlunger section
describes the recovery steps, which still hold; it does not describe the
fence or the drain, which the chart README now documents.

## What this PR does

A VMDisk whose HTTP source answers 404 or does not resolve never
finishes importing, and since #4380 its `WorkloadsReady` condition says
only `DataVolume vm-disk-x is ImportInProgress`. That reads the same as
a large download that is still running. CDI fails an import only on a
fatal error (a checksum mismatch) and restarts the importer pod
otherwise, so the phase never moves, and the reason the disk will not
finish was visible only in the importer logs.

CDI already keeps that reason on the DataVolume: the `Running` condition
goes `False` with the importer's termination message, and keeps it
through the back-off between restarts. The WorkloadMonitor now appends
it, so the condition reads `DataVolume vm-disk-x is ImportInProgress:
Unable to connect to http data source: expected status code 200, got
404. Status: 404 Not Found`. The console already shows the
`WorkloadsReady` message on the disk's overview page, so no UI change is
needed. The same text covers an unschedulable importer, a failed image
pull and a checksum failure, since CDI reports all of them through
`Running=False`.

Only `Running=False` is read: `Unknown` is not a failure, and `Bound`
repeats the same error behind PVC details. For a host-assisted clone CDI
joins the target and source pod messages as `<target> and <source>`,
which comes out as ` and ` when both pods are still being created, so
empty halves are dropped.

Behaviour to be aware of: while the importer pod is briefly running
between restarts, CDI flips `Running` to `True` and clears the message,
so the condition shows the bare phase for those seconds. This is not a
terminal state either: a disk with a broken source still stays
`ImportInProgress` and keeps retrying. Deciding when such an import
should count as failed is left for a separate change.

### Tests

A table test covers a 404, an unresolvable host, an unschedulable
importer, a fatal checksum error, a DataVolume without a phase and
joined clone messages with one or both halves empty, plus the cases that
must not add text: an importer that has not started, a running importer,
an `Unknown` condition, a populated disk and an error that only sits on
`Bound`. Each conjunct of the condition check and the append itself were
mutated and each mutant fails the test. A second test runs against a
DataVolume captured from a test cluster after its importer had restarted
about two thousand times on a 404, with only names and the URL changed,
so the parsing is pinned against what CDI actually writes rather than a
hand-built shape.

### Screenshots

No UI code changes: the console renders the `WorkloadsReady` message it
already receives. A message that carries a long source URL is not
wrapped on the overview card; that is a styling follow-up for the
console and is left out of this change.

Andrey Kolkov 6a75883013 fix(backups): keep the CNPG purge for unmarked Clusters this restore did not render
A recovery Cluster without the restored-server-name annotation fell back
to the creation-time comparison. On the current chart the annotation is
absent when bootstrap.newServerName is empty, i.e. a manually configured
recovery: re-rendered during the WAL-archive wait it is created after
StartedAt, the purge was skipped and the restore could report success on
the manual recovery source. Use the creation-time fallback only when the
application's bootstrap.newServerName already carries this restore's
server name, which keeps it for Clusters rendered by a chart that
predates the annotation.

Andrey Kolkov e4e991e837 fix(backups): skip the CNPG restore purge only for this restore's Cluster
The in-place CNPG restore skips deleting the live Cluster when it
carries bootstrap.recovery and was created after the RestoreJob started,
taking that as "this restore's own purge and re-render produced it". The
timestamp does not say which restore rendered the Cluster. A Cluster
deleted while the restore waits for the WAL archive is re-rendered by
the still-active HelmRelease from the previous restore's values and is
created after StartedAt too; the restore then skipped its purge and
reported Succeeded on the previous restore's data.

The restore patch already sets bootstrap.newServerName to
restoredServerName(cluster, RestoreJob UID). The chart now annotates the
Cluster with it as postgres.cozystack.io/restored-server-name, whether
or not it renders the barman plugin that also carries the value, and the
purge is skipped only when the annotation names this RestoreJob. The
mark lives on the rendered Cluster rather than in RestoreJob status, so
it still covers the failed status write the skip exists for. A Cluster
rendered by a chart that predates the annotation keeps the creation-time
check.

Andrey Kolkov 3daf942dce fix(backups): refuse a restore into an application another restore holds
Nothing stopped two RestoreJobs from rewriting one application at once.
Each restores the target from its own Backup, so the application ends up
on whichever finishes last, and the CNPG driver's purge decision cannot
tell which of the two produced the live Cluster: the second job could
skip its purge and report Succeeded on the first job's data.

A RestoreJob that has not started now fails with reason
ConcurrentRestore when another unfinished RestoreJob in the namespace
writes into the same application and goes first. A started restore goes
before one that has not; between two that have not, the older one goes
first, by creation time and then name, so a running restore is never
failed by a newer one. The refused job fails instead of waiting, so the
application is not restored a second time later, after the first
restore, by a job its author may no longer expect to run.

The gate lists RestoreJobs through the manager's API reader rather than
the informer cache. Creation times have one-second precision, so two
jobs created in the same second are ordered by name, and a job reconciled
before the cache held its peer's StartedAt would see that peer as not
started and proceed alongside it. The controller runs one worker, so a
peer's StartedAt written by an earlier reconcile is on the API server by
the time the next job reads it; SetupWithManager now states that.

The target is resolved as the BackupJob hold resolves it, so a Velero
restore into another namespace does not collide with one in place.

## What this PR does

An in-place VMInstance restore with `keepOriginalPVC: false` reports
`Succeeded` without restoring the disks, and leaves every disk it
touched unable to come back. `prepareForRestore` deletes each DataVolume
with Orphan propagation and leaves the PVC in place, on the assumption,
stated in the `deleteDataVolume` comment, that Velero overwrites it.
Velero does not overwrite a PVC. Its CSI restore action returns early
for a claim that already exists, so no DataDownload is ever created, and
with `existingResourcePolicy: update` the merge patch it attempts
instead is rejected because a bound claim's spec is immutable. All that
reaches the claim is the labels-only fallback patch, which also drops
the `cdi.kubevirt.io/allowClaimAdoption` annotation the resource
modifier added.

The claim left behind then blocks the disk for good. Orphan propagation
has removed its owner reference to the DataVolume, and it lacks the
`cdi.kubevirt.io/storage.populatedFor` annotation that
kubevirt-velero-plugin writes on the backed-up copy, so when the
HelmRelease resumes, the CDI webhook refuses the DataVolume it creates
with `Destination PVC <ns>/<name> already exists`, on every reconcile.
Deleting the disk through the API leaves the PVC behind, and a new disk
of the same name fails the same way.

Observed on a v1.6.3 cluster, for a VMInstance restore with
`keepOriginalPVC: false` whose disk was attached to the VM. The Velero
log for the restore, trimmed:

```text
level=info msg="Retrieved per-restore resource modifiers from configmap cozy-velero/restore-modifiers-..."
level=warning msg="PVC already exists and ExistingVolumeDataPolicy is not in-place restore. Skip restore this PVC." Action=PVCCSIRestoreItemAction PVC=tenant-datalab/vm-disk-e2edisk
level=info msg="Applying resource modifier patch on tenant-datalab/vm-disk-e2edisk"
level=warning msg="patch attempt failed for /v1, Kind=PersistentVolumeClaim tenant-datalab/vm-disk-e2edisk: PersistentVolumeClaim \"vm-disk-e2edisk\" is invalid: spec: Forbidden: spec is immutable after creation except resources.requests and volumeAttributesClassName for bound claims"
level=info msg="backup/restore labels successfully updated for PersistentVolumeClaim tenant-datalab/vm-disk-e2edisk"
```

`velero restore describe --details` lists the PVC as `(failed)` and the
Restore is `Completed` with two warnings. Afterwards the claim had its
original creation timestamp and UID, no owner reference, no
`allowClaimAdoption`, no `populatedFor`, and the disk's HelmRelease was
`Ready=False` with the webhook error above. That cluster runs a Velero
build from `main`, whose wording is quoted above; the released v1.17.1
and v1.18.3 return early at the same point with `PVC already exists.
Skip restore this PVC.` (`pkg/restore/actions/csi/pvc_action.go`).

The fix deletes the PVC when `keepOriginalPVC` is false, only once its
DataVolume is confirmed gone so that CDI cannot recreate it, and holds
the Velero Restore until the claim has actually disappeared. A claim
still mounted stays `Terminating` behind `kubernetes.io/pvc-protection`,
and creating the Restore then would hit the same existing-claim path.
Velero then creates the PVC from the backup, the data mover fills it,
and the recreated DataVolume adopts it through `populatedFor`. A failed
deletion now fails the RestoreJob instead of letting it report
`Succeeded` over the old data. Before 2234824fe the DataVolume was
deleted with background propagation, so garbage collection removed the
claim, but nothing waited for it.

Deleting the claim is only safe when Velero can put the disk back, so
before any preparation the reconciler now gets the Velero Backup and
fails the RestoreJob unless it exists and is `Completed`. The Backup
artifact outlives the Velero Backup, which Velero garbage-collects at
its TTL, and without the check a restore of an expired backup would halt
the VM and delete its disks before failing. The check runs for every
Velero restore, whatever `keepOriginalPVC` says. A DataVolume that
cannot be deleted now fails the RestoreJob too, and the preparation
waits for every DataVolume to be gone before it goes further: a
surviving DataVolume makes CDI recreate the claim, which Velero then
skips. Reading the DataVolume back needs `get` on `datavolumes`, which
the backupstrategy-controller ClusterRole now grants next to `delete`.

`TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCFalse_SkipsRename` asserted the
old behaviour, that the original PVC survives, and is replaced by
`TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCFalse_DeletesPVC`.
`TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCFalse_WaitsForTerminatingPVC`
covers the wait. Both fail on `upstream/main` without the controller
change. `TestReconcileVeleroRestore_UnusableVeleroBackupTouchesNothing`
covers an expired Velero Backup and one being deleted,
`TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCFalse_KeepsPVCWhileDataVolumeRemains`
a failed and a pending DataVolume deletion, and
`TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCTrue_FailedRenameKeepsPVC` a
failed rename under `keepOriginalPVC: true`, which must leave the claim
in place. A helm-unittest suite, `tests/restore_rbac_test.yaml`, checks
the new verb. Each test fails with its fix reverted, with one exception:
`TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVCTrue_FailedRenameKeepsPVC` still
passes with the Step 5 condition cut to `vmRes != nil`, because a failed
rename holds the restore back before Step 5 is reached. That guard is
pinned by `TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVC_CacheLagsBehindWrites`,
which fails with the same cut. `helm unittest
packages/system/backupstrategy-controller` passes. `go test
./internal/backupcontroller/...` passes.

Related: #4601 reports the same Velero mechanism for a standalone
VMDisk, where `prepareForRestore` does nothing at all because
`collectUnderlyingResources` records no disk. #3427 makes a VMDisk
report its own disk; with `keepOriginalPVC: false` that path then runs
into this defect too, and this change covers it once both are in. This
PR does not touch the VMDisk path itself.

### Screenshots

N/A — no UI changes.

### Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map against the diff, which is the restore
preparation in `internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go`
and its unit tests, plus one verb in the backupstrategy-controller
ClusterRole and its helm-unittest: no package added or renamed, no
`values.yaml` or `values.schema.json` change, no CRD,
ApplicationDefinition, label, annotation, namespace or metric change.
`keepOriginalPVC` lives in the opaque `RestoreJob.spec.options`, and a
search of the organisation finds it only in this repository, so neither
the website nor the Terraform provider documents or models it.

### Release note

```release-note
fix(backups): an in-place VMInstance RestoreJob with keepOriginalPVC=false now deletes each original disk PVC, and waits for it to be gone, before Velero restores it. Previously the PVC was left in place, Velero skipped restoring its data, the RestoreJob still reported Succeeded, and the disk's HelmRelease could never recreate its DataVolume ("Destination PVC already exists"). A Velero RestoreJob now also fails before touching the application when its Velero Backup is gone or not Completed, for example after the Backup expired at its TTL.
```

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* When a restore is configured not to keep the original disk claim, the
claim is deleted before Velero restores it, allowing Velero to recreate
it.
* Restores wait while the original disk claim or its DataVolume is being
deleted. Deletion or status-check errors stop restore preparation.
* Restores configured to keep the original disk claim continue to
preserve it.
* Restores stop before changing resources if the referenced Velero
backup is missing or has not completed.

## What this PR does

The BackupJob and RestoreJob reconcilers decide a job is still active
from the informer cache, and the cache can trail their own writes. A
driver's first pass stamps `StartedAt`, which requeues the job, and may
then fail the job in the same pass on a transient error, for instance a
503 from the aggregated `apps.cozystack.io` API while
`createVeleroBackup` reads the application. The requeued pass can start
before the informer has seen `Failed`: it retries the step that failed
and, once the error has cleared, creates the driver object anyway. Its
own status write then conflicts on the stale resourceVersion, the next
pass sees `Failed` and skips the job, and a Velero Backup is left
running that no `Backup` artifact will reference and nothing tracks.

Reproduced against a real apiserver (envtest 1.34) with the real manager
cache and the reconciler wired through `SetupWithManager`, nothing else
writing the BackupJobs. The only fault injected is one 503 on the first
GET of each application through `apps.cozystack.io`. Out of 40
BackupJobs, every one ends `Failed` with `failed to create Velero
Backup: the server is currently unable to handle the request`, and on
`main` (6addef4d3) 10, 8 and 5 of them still got a Velero Backup over
three runs. With this change: 0, 0 and 0. The harness is in the
collapsed block below; it needs `KUBEBUILDER_ASSETS` and `REPO_ROOT`,
and is not part of the PR.

A restore pass that starts on such a stale copy does worse, since the
step it retries can be destructive: suspending the VM's HelmRelease and
halting the VM before creating a Velero Restore, or patching the
Postgres application and purging its cluster. The reproduction above
covers the backup side only; on the restore side the unit test below
shows what a pass on a stale copy does.

Both reconcilers now re-read the job through the manager's uncached
reader when the cached copy says it is still active, and skip it when
the apiserver holds it as finished. The check sits ahead of the
dispatch, so it covers all eleven drivers at once. The cost is one GET
per pass of an active job; a job the cache already reports as finished
costs nothing extra.

`TestReconcile_DoesNotRetryAJobItAlreadyFailed` and
`TestReconcileRestore_DoesNotRetryAJobItAlreadyFailed` run the full
`Reconcile` on a cache holding the job active while the apiserver holds
it `Failed`. Each first checks that the same fixture does create the
Velero Backup, or suspend the HelmRelease and create the Velero Restore,
when the apiserver agrees with the cache. With the re-read reverted to
the cached client, both fail: a Velero Backup is created and the phase
is written back to `Running`, the HelmRelease is suspended and a Velero
Restore is created. `go test ./internal/backupcontroller/...` passes.

### Downstream repositories

<!--
Cozystack is upstream for repositories that are NOT kept in sync with it
automatically, and nothing in CI compares the two sides, so a change
here can break them silently.

Which change forces what, and which file to touch, is the trigger map in
docs/agents/contributing.md under "Downstream Repositories". Walk it
before you tick anything.

IF YOU ARE AN AI AGENT OR AN LLM, THIS IS PART OF THE TASK, NOT A FORM
TO FILL IN:

1. Walk the trigger map against the actual diff of this PR, file by
file. Do not decide from the PR title or from your memory of what you
changed.
2. For every repository you tick, open the follow-up PR there and link
it on the same line. A ticked box with no link claims work that does not
exist, which is worse than an empty box. Search that repository for an
open PR or issue covering it first, and link that instead of filing a
duplicate.
3. When the follow-up is out of scope, or needs a decision that is not
yours to make, open an issue in that repository instead, link that, and
say so in the PR body. Do not push a speculative PR into another
repository just to fill a line here.
4. Do not tick "No downstream repository is affected" to make the
checklist go away. If you are unsure, leave every box empty and say so
in the PR body, so a human decides.

fix(backups): a BackupJob or RestoreJob that the controller has just marked Failed no longer gets a driver object created for it by the next reconcile, which could start on a cache that had not yet seen the Failed status and retry the step that failed — leaving, for instance, an untracked Velero Backup behind a Failed BackupJob, or a restore that halts the VM after its RestoreJob failed.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Backup and restore jobs that have already succeeded or failed are no
longer retried based on outdated status, preventing duplicate operations
and unnecessary changes to related resources.
* Reconciliation stops when a job has been removed and reports errors if
its current status cannot be checked.

Aleksei Sviridkin d9689bd6e7 fix(gateway): stop describing Cilium 1.19.5 as the shipped release
With Cilium at 1.20.2 the tenant gateway comments, README and one
status message still explained behaviour as that of "the pin" at
1.19.5. Several of those claims no longer hold: a Gateway with two
routed passthrough ports now gets an Envoy listener per port, Cilium
judges a route's kinds against the listener the route names, and the
shipped operator accepts an HTTPS and a passthrough listener on one
port when the passthrough hostname is strictly narrower.

Behaviour that is unchanged is re-anchored on the 1.20.2 source,
behaviour that is gone is stated as history, and the refusal of one
hostname on two passthrough ports no longer blames a Cilium limitation
the shipped release does not have.

Aleksei Sviridkin ad3f15d4f3 feat(gateway)!: reserve a passthrough listener's name by the spec alone
The TenantGateway controller withheld the HTTPS-terminate listener for a
name a passthrough listener answers only once a TLSRoute was attached
there and resolved a backend, mirroring how Cilium builds its filter
chains. That kept a served endpoint up on Cilium 1.19.5, but it tied
every route's status to one implementation's translator and needed
Service and ReferenceGrant watches to land the deferred decision.

The shipped operator accepts a wildcard terminate listener beside a
narrower passthrough listener on 443 and keeps conflicting every other
overlap. A terminate listener for the passthrough name itself is not
narrower, so on 443 the rule now protects the dataplane outright; on a
native port Gateway API would serve the pair, and the rule holds as a
policy that keeps a platform name with its passthrough listener. Reading
it off the spec makes the outcome the same on every implementation.

Under http01 an HTTPRoute claiming such a name gets no listener and no
certificate whether or not a TLSRoute is attached. A route whose every
hostname is reserved reads Accepted=False with
NoMatchingListenerHostname; one that also claims a free hostname stays
Accepted and is served there, as Gateway API accepts a route whose
hostnames intersect at least one listener. dns01 and existingSecret are
unchanged: their wildcard listener still covers such a name, and the
passthrough listener answers it by its exact server name.

The chart writes the passthrough services on the publishing tenant
alone, so the names reserved by default are the ones the platform
publishes there through its own TLSRoutes. The shape an upgrade
changes is an HTTPRoute on such a name whose platform TLSRoute forwards
nowhere, because it never attached (the package owning the service is
not installed) or because none of its backends resolve: that route kept
a terminate listener and now gets none.

The backend resolution, its watches and the RBAC rules that served them
go away.

Aleksei Sviridkin bdca165f4c feat(gateway): report a GatewayClass that does not serve TLSRoute
A GatewayClass lists the features it serves in status.supportedFeatures,
and TLS passthrough is TLSRoute. On a class that leaves it out the
passthrough listeners are accepted and serve nothing, so the
TenantGateway now reads Ready=False/GatewayClassUnsupported naming the
class instead of Ready. A class that lists no features at all is not
judged: implementations predating the field leave it empty.

The class writes that list after it is accepted and may change it when
its controller is upgraded, so a GatewayClass event requeues the
TenantGateways on it.

Aleksei Sviridkin d624049a3a feat(gateway): allow tlsPassthroughListeners under dns01 and existingSecret
The refusal existed because Cilium 1.19.5 served every Gateway port
from one Envoy listener matched by SNI alone, so the "*.<apex>"
terminate listener of the wildcard modes and a passthrough listener
under the apex could reach each other's backend. The shipped Cilium
1.20.2 gives each port its own Envoy listener when SNI overlaps across
ports, and Gateway API treats listeners on different ports as
compatible, so the pair is served as declared. edge still refuses the
field: it renders no TLS listener for an entry to bind to.

## What this PR does

The first BackupJob on a Postgres app whose `cnpg.io/Cluster` has never
carried the barman-cloud plugin — a fresh platform-flow app, or one an
in-place restore re-rendered — attaches the plugin and creates the
`cnpg.io/Backup` in the same reconcile. Attaching the plugin changes the
instance pod spec, so CNPG rolls every instance (`Pod rollout required:
volumes: element plugins has been added`). The Backup then lands on an
instance without the plugin sidecar (`requested plugin is not available:
barman-cloud.cloudnative-pg.io`) or on one CNPG restarts under it
(`instance manager was restarted during backup`). CNPG does not retry a
failed Backup, so the BackupJob stays Running in
`CNPGBackupTransientFailure` until `cnpgDefaultBackupDeadline` and
fails. The first backup of each such Postgres is always lost; this was
observed on a v1.6.3 cluster and reproduced against `main`.

The driver now holds the Backup back until that rollout is over. Before
attaching the plugin to a Cluster that has none, it records
`PluginRolledOut=False` on the BackupJob, with `Ready=False` reason
`WaitingForPluginRollout` for the user, and requeues; the next pass
attaches the plugin. The Backup is created once CNPG reports the Cluster
in its healthy phase and every instance pod (`cnpg.io/cluster`,
`cnpg.io/podRole=instance`) was created after the condition and is
Ready; the condition then turns True and `Ready` is cleared, as before.
Recording the condition first means a lost status write leaves the
plugin unattached for the next pass instead of a Cluster that looks
ready while it rolls. A Cluster that already runs the plugin is not
rolled by the driver and its Backup is created on the first pass, as
today. The wait is bounded by the existing `cnpgDefaultBackupDeadline`,
after which the BackupJob fails with the phase or pod CNPG is stuck on.

Why this signal, checked against the CNPG 1.29 source and the 1.30
Cluster CRD vendored here: the Cluster status has no
`observedGeneration` and its `Ready` condition is derived from
`status.phase`, so right after the attach the phase still reads healthy
from before until CNPG reconciles the new spec. `status.pluginStatus`
does not help either, since CNPG also lists plugins referenced only from
`externalClusters` there, which is exactly the state of a Cluster a
restore re-rendered. A pod spec change is never applied in place (only a
pending Postgres restart is), so the instances are recreated and pods
newer than the attach are the ones running the sidecar. This reads pod
metadata and CNPG's documented labels only, not the plugin's container
or volume names, and needs no RBAC change: the controller already lists
and watches pods.

Tests: `TestReconcileCNPG_WaitsForPluginRolloutBeforeBackup` drives a
Cluster without the plugin through the attach, a stale healthy phase
over the old pod, a rolling phase over the recreated pod, and the
healthy phase, and asserts no Backup exists until the last step.
`TestReconcileCNPG_AttachedPluginDoesNotDelayBackup` covers a Cluster
that already runs the plugin, and
`TestReconcileCNPG_PluginRolloutWaitIsBounded` the deadline. With the
gate disabled, the first and third fail; with only the phase checked and
not the pods, the first fails at the attach pass.

### Downstream repositories

<!--
Cozystack is upstream for repositories that are NOT kept in sync with it
automatically, and nothing in CI compares the two sides, so a change
here can break them silently.

Which change forces what, and which file to touch, is the trigger map in
docs/agents/contributing.md under "Downstream Repositories". Walk it
before you tick anything.

IF YOU ARE AN AI AGENT OR AN LLM, THIS IS PART OF THE TASK, NOT A FORM
TO FILL IN:

1. Walk the trigger map against the actual diff of this PR, file by
file. Do not decide from the PR title or from your memory of what you
changed.
2. For every repository you tick, open the follow-up PR there and link
it on the same line. A ticked box with no link claims work that does not
exist, which is worse than an empty box. Search that repository for an
open PR or issue covering it first, and link that instead of filing a
duplicate.
3. When the follow-up is out of scope, or needs a decision that is not
yours to make, open an issue in that repository instead, link that, and
say so in the PR body. Do not push a speculative PR into another
repository just to fill a line here.
4. Do not tick "No downstream repository is affected" to make the
checklist go away. If you are unsure, leave every box empty and say so
in the PR body, so a human decides.

The diff touches only `internal/backupcontroller` Go code: no package,

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Reliability**
* Backups wait for the backup plugin rollout to complete and cluster
instances to become healthy before starting.
* If rollout does not finish before the backup deadline, the backup job
fails instead of waiting indefinitely.
* Backups can start without waiting for a new rollout when the plugin is
already attached.
* **Backup Configuration**
* When no server name is configured, backups use the cluster name and
application UID, giving recreated applications distinct archive
prefixes.
* Existing server names are preserved when the plugin is already
attached.

Mattia Eleuteri eafa441b9c fix(backups): create no driver object for a job that already finished
The BackupJob and RestoreJob reconcilers decide a job is still active
from the informer cache, and the cache can trail their own writes. A
driver's first pass stamps StartedAt, which requeues the job, and may
then fail the job in the same pass on a transient error, such as a 503
from the aggregated apps.cozystack.io API while it reads the
application. The requeued pass can start before the informer has seen
Failed: it retries the step that failed and, once the error has
cleared, creates the driver object anyway. Its own status write then
conflicts, the pass after it sees Failed and skips the job, and a
Velero Backup is left running that no Backup artifact will reference
and nothing tracks.

Against a real apiserver and the manager's cache, with one 503 on the
first application read of each job, 5 to 10 BackupJobs out of 40 ended
Failed with a Velero Backup.

A restore pass that starts on such a stale copy does worse, since the
step it retries can be destructive: suspending the VM's HelmRelease and
halting the VM before creating a Velero Restore, or patching the
Postgres application and purging its cluster.

Both reconcilers now re-read the job through the manager's uncached
reader when the cached copy says it is still active, and skip it when
the apiserver holds it as finished. The check sits ahead of the
dispatch, so it covers every driver, and a job the cache already
reports as finished costs no extra request.

Mattia Eleuteri 6d064a8602 fix(backups): delete a restored disk's PVC only once the restore can run
Deleting the original PVC of a keepOriginalPVC=false restore is only
safe when Velero can put the disk back. The Backup artifact outlives
the Velero Backup it points to, which Velero garbage-collects at TTL,
and nothing checked it before prepareForRestore halted the VM and
deleted the disks: a restore of an expired backup lost the volume where
it used to fail with the disk intact. The Velero Backup must now exist
and be Completed before any preparation starts.

A DataVolume that survives its deletion makes CDI recreate the claim
under the original name, which Velero then skips as an existing PVC,
so the restore would end Succeeded on a freshly imported disk. A failed
DataVolume deletion now fails the restore, and the PVCs are deleted
only once every DataVolume is gone. Reading the DataVolume back needs
get on datavolumes, which the ClusterRole did not grant.

Mattia Eleuteri 6ea713d09b fix(backups): delete the original PVC of an in-place VM restore without keepOriginalPVC
With keepOriginalPVC=false the restore deleted each DataVolume with
Orphan propagation and left its PVC in place for Velero to overwrite.
Velero never overwrites a PVC: its CSI restore action skips the data
mover for a claim that already exists, and existingResourcePolicy=update
fails to patch the immutable spec of a bound claim, so it only stamps
its labels on it. The RestoreJob then reports Succeeded with the disk
still holding its pre-restore data.

The claim left behind also breaks the disk for good. It has lost its
owner reference to the orphaned DataVolume, and it lacks the
cdi.kubevirt.io/storage.populatedFor annotation that the backed-up copy
carries, so the CDI webhook refuses the DataVolume the resumed
HelmRelease creates ("Destination PVC already exists"), on every
reconcile.

Delete the PVC once its DataVolume is gone, and hold the Velero Restore
until the claim has actually disappeared: one still mounted stays
Terminating behind pvc-protection, and Velero would take it for an
existing claim again.

Mattia Eleuteri 54ab863c0e fix(backups): hold a Postgres backup until the plugin rollout is over
A Cluster that has never carried the barman-cloud plugin gets it from
the first BackupJob: a fresh platform-flow app, or one an in-place
restore re-rendered. Attaching it changes the instance pod spec, so
CNPG rolls every instance. The cnpg.io/Backup the same reconcile
created then runs on an instance without the plugin sidecar ("requested
plugin is not available") or on one CNPG restarts under it ("instance
manager was restarted during backup"). CNPG never retries it, so the
BackupJob sat in CNPGBackupTransientFailure until the backup deadline
and failed: the first backup of every such Postgres was lost.

The driver now records a PluginRolledOut=False condition before it
attaches the plugin, and creates no Backup until CNPG reports the
Cluster healthy and every instance pod was created after that
condition and is Ready. Recording it first means a lost status write
leaves the plugin unattached for the next pass, rather than a Cluster
that looks ready while it rolls. A Cluster that already runs the plugin
is not rolled by the driver and is not held back.

The phase alone cannot tell the rollout is over. Cluster status has no
observedGeneration and its Ready condition is derived from the phase,
so until CNPG reconciles the new spec the phase still reads healthy
from before the attach. status.pluginStatus is no better: CNPG also
lists plugins referenced only from externalClusters there, which is
exactly the state of a Cluster a restore re-rendered. A pod spec change
is never applied in place, so the instances are recreated, and pods
newer than the attach are the ones running the sidecar. That reads only
pod metadata and CNPG's documented labels, not the plugin's container
names. The wait stays bounded by the existing backup deadline.

Aleksei Sviridkin 8c1a78dc9b feat(operator): default system namespace memory via LimitRange (#3494)
## What this PR does

System components now get a default container memory limit, so their pod
cgroups carry a `memory.max` and drop out of the Talos userspace OOM
handler's victim set. `cozystack-operator` maintains a LimitRange named
`cozystack-system-defaults` in every system namespace it reconciles.

The Talos handler (v1.12+) scores cgroups with `memory_max.hasValue() ?
0.0 : {Besteffort: 1.0, Burstable: 0.5, ...}[class] * memory_current`
and drops everything that scores zero. Only a memory limit sets
`memory.max`, so only a limit takes a pod out of the candidate set. A
request just moves a pod from BestEffort to Burstable, which under the
default `strictCgroupClassOrdering: true` still means killed second.
`PriorityClass` does nothing here, because the handler reads cgroupfs
and never talks to the apiserver. Victim selection is also unrelated to
the trigger, so a tenant workload thrashing against its own limit can
drive node memory pressure while a system component with no limit is
what gets killed.

An audit of a running cluster found around 70 workloads across ~30
packages with at least one container missing a memory limit. Per-chart
resources would not cover that set, and would not keep covering it as
packages are added. So the LimitRange is written by
`reconcileNamespaces`, which already creates these namespaces and
already tells system from tenant. It also covers init containers, which
#3495 can't reach: one of them without a limit leaves the pod cgroup
without `memory.max`, whatever the main containers declare.

Tenant namespaces are skipped. Where the tenant chart's own
`tenant-range-limits` exists (only when the operator configured
`resourceQuotas`), a second LimitRange next to it would leave the result
to the order LimitRanger iterates them. Where it doesn't exist, a tenant
namespace is not the place for the platform to impose a default.

### Why the default is 32Gi

The handler grants immunity for `memory.max` existing at all, whatever
its value. So the ceiling doesn't need to be fitted, and 32Gi is high
enough that nothing plausibly reaches it. A ceiling low enough to bind
would turn a rare pressure-driven kill into a deterministic one for any
component whose real usage nobody measured. This repo already has one
such case, recorded in the `vertical-pod-autoscaler` values, where a
110Mi limit OOM-killed the updater and failed HelmReleases with it.
Scheduling is unaffected, since pods are scheduled against requests and
the paired default request is 32Mi. An operator who wants the ceiling to
bind can lower it, per component in that component's chart or fleet-wide
with the knob, once real usage is measured.

### When the default is withheld

A default below a container's own request makes that pod impossible to
admit, so the operator checks before it applies. It scans Deployments,
StatefulSets, DaemonSets, CronJobs, Jobs and Pods in the namespace, init
containers included, for a container that requests more than the
configured limit and declares no limit of its own. If it finds one, it
withdraws the managed LimitRange and records a hold in the
`operator.cozystack.io/system-memory-state` annotation on the Namespace.

The hold does not clear by itself when the blocker disappears, because
an empty scan looks the same as a pod between deletion and recreation.
Lowering a previously applied limit also creates a hold, even with no
visible blocker, because LimitRanger writes the defaulted limit onto
admitted pods and the scan can no longer tell which containers declare
one. A cluster administrator releases the hold by copying the
`<hold>:<target>` token from the state into the
`operator.cozystack.io/system-memory-ack` annotation. The token is used
once and only for that hold and target. If a blocker is still visible,
the token is rejected and the hold stays. Package reconciles are
scheduled at least every five minutes, so an acknowledgement takes
effect on a quiet cluster too. The reason and the token also appear in
the operator log under `withholding the default container memory limit`.

### Namespace another LimitRange already governs

If a system namespace already has a LimitRange that says anything about
memory, at the Container or the Pod scope, the operator writes nothing
there and withdraws what it wrote before. A second default leaves the
effective value to iteration order. A foreign `max` below this default,
a `min` above the default request or a `maxLimitRequestRatio` rejects
pods outright, which takes out a whole namespace. At the Pod scope the
collision can't be decided in advance, because it depends on how many
containers a future pod has. A LimitRange that bounds only cpu or
storage coexists normally. A same-named LimitRange without the
operator's managed-by label is treated as foreign and left alone.

This matters most in `kube-system`, which is in scope because
`cozystack-scheduler` installs there, and where a distribution's or an
administrator's own LimitRange is likeliest to sit.

### Disabling

Setting `cozystackOperator.systemNamespaceMemoryLimit` to `0` disables
the feature. On the next reconcile the operator removes every LimitRange
it owns cluster-wide, found by the managed-by label. While the feature
is on, it also removes its LimitRange from namespaces no active Package
targets any more. The safety state on the Namespace stays in both cases.

### Docs

`docs/operations/system-memory-limits.md` landed in #3496 ahead of this
code, so main describes a `4Gi` default and installer values that do
nothing yet. The page is corrected to the 32Gi default and now describes
withholding, the acknowledgement, and the foreign LimitRange rule.

### Not in this PR

linstor policy. #3824 extends the controller's existing exemption from
limits to the satellite, and a linstor limit here would contradict it,
so linstor stays with that PR.

The scan reads six workload kinds through `APIReader`, uncached, on
every reconcile of every system namespace. That cost is tracked in
#3977, since the system namespace set isn't known when the cache is
built and the right fix depends on a reconcile-rate measurement nobody
has taken.

### Verification

`go vet` and `go test` pass for `cmd/cozystack-operator` and
`internal/operator`, and `helm unittest` passes on the installer chart
for the knobs unset, set, and the limit at `0`. The reconciler tests
cover withholding on an oversized request, the hold surviving the
blocker's removal, the hold on a lowered limit, acknowledgement and
token rejection, every memory field of a foreign LimitRange at both
scopes, ownership by label, the disabled sweep, and a deleting Package
not creating policy.

The withhold design has not been run on a live cluster yet. An earlier
design of this PR was, and that run does not carry over.

### Screenshots

Not a UI change.

### Downstream repositories

I walked the trigger map against the diff.
`packages/core/installer/values.yaml` gains two keys, but the
`ansible-cozystack` trigger is for a required key or a rename of one the
role passes, and these are new, optional and default to `""`, so the
role is unaffected. Nothing else in the map is reached by the Go
changes, the operator template or the page.

### Release note

```release-note
feat(operator): system namespaces now get a default container memory limit through a LimitRange maintained by cozystack-operator, which keeps system components out of the Talos userspace OOM handler's victim set. Tune it with cozystackOperator.systemNamespaceMemoryLimit (default 32Gi) and cozystackOperator.systemNamespaceMemoryRequest (default 32Mi); set the limit to 0 to disable it. The default is far above any real working set on purpose, because the handler grants immunity for a memory.max existing at all, not for its value. A namespace with a container that requests more than the limit and declares no limit of its own gets no default, and stays without one until a cluster administrator acknowledges the hold recorded on the Namespace (see docs/operations/system-memory-limits.md); lowering a previously applied limit needs the same acknowledgement. A namespace where another LimitRange already sets anything about memory is left alone. A container that declares its own memory limit is never changed.
