Aleksei Sviridkin 1f30ac4598 fix(tests): let the mariadb waits cover a first boot (#3769)
## What this PR does

Closes #3741

Several waits for a database HelmRelease to become Ready gave up before
the release could: the mariadb, mongodb, rabbitmq and clickhouse backup
walkthroughs waited 300 seconds, and both mariadb Chainsaw suites gave
their HelmRelease-ready assert 6 minutes. A generated release carries a
10-minute install timeout (`pkg/cmd/server/start.go:91`), so a failed
install was reported as a bare timeout, because the release had not yet
recorded why it failed, and for mariadb a first boot the startup probe
was still willing to wait for failed the harness instead.

A wait on such a release has two floors and has to beat the larger. The
first is the app's own first boot: cozystack-api leaves
`spec.waitStrategy` unset and helm-controller defaults it to `poller`,
so the install waits through kstatus, and kstatus maps the operator CR's
`Ready=False` onto `InProgress`. For mariadb that boot may take the
chart's 310-second startup budget (`startupProbe.failureThreshold: 30`
in `packages/apps/mariadb/templates/mariadb.yaml` with the operator's
probe defaults of 20 and 10); mongodb, rabbitmq and clickhouse set no
startup probe. The second is the install timeout. At or below it the
waiter is the one that expires, because its clock starts when the step
runs and the install's only once the Application has been reconciled and
the chart artifact fetched. The install timeout binds in every case
here, so the walkthrough waits go to 660 seconds and the mariadb asserts
to 11 minutes.

Raising a wait inside a walkthrough spends the Chainsaw op that runs the
script, and an op that runs out SIGKILLs the process group and loses the
script's error. Each op therefore grows by exactly what the waits it
reaches gained: mariadb's round-trip from 30 to 42 minutes, rabbitmq's
from 30 to 42, mongodb's from 30 to 36 (its round-trip runs with
`SKIP_RESTORE`, so only the source wait counts), and clickhouse's from
60 to 72, which still sits above the sum of every inner ceiling. That
bounds a failure at a single wait, not a run that is slow at every stage
and then fails late; bounding that needs a phase budget, not a larger
literal. postgres keeps its 360-second waits and every walkthrough keeps
its 300-second bucket wait: whether a suite pays the extra minutes on
every red run is a per-suite call.

The mariadb endpoint asserts keep their job. A freshly applied CR
carries no conditions and kstatus reads it as current, so the install
wait can end before any pod is up; an endpoint address closes that
window. That is also why the `wait_for_field` on the CR stays in the
walkthrough.

`wait_hr_ready` now dumps every condition and the release history on
timeout and on `Stalled=True`, instead of the single Ready message a
scheduled retry can overwrite before anyone reads it. It also stops
printing one `(none recorded)` line for different answers: a release
that never appeared, a release deleted during the wait, a lookup kubectl
could not answer, a failed history read and an empty history each say
so, with kubectl's own stderr kept, and a release seen earlier still
gets its dump when only the last lookup failed. The change goes to every
byte-identical copy of the helper, in
`examples/backups/{clickhouse,mariadb,mongodb,postgres,rabbitmq}/00-helpers.sh`,
and they stay identical.

`hack/mariadb-first-boot-waits.bats` pins the mariadb budgets against
the tree. It derives both floors from their sources instead of pinning
literals, so raising `failureThreshold` past the install timeout, or
changing the install-timeout default, reds it; each source has a test
that refuses to proceed when it cannot be read, including the
ApplicationDefinition, whose two override annotations would each
invalidate the derivation. It holds the round-trip op at a fixed
remainder over the ceilings up to and including the source wait, bucket
stage and S3 preflight included, and at a fixed slack once both mariadb
waits are paid, so raising a wait without the op reds. The extractors
are also tested against fixtures, because the tree cannot tell a correct
extractor from a broken one. Beyond mariadb, the file runs every exit
branch of `wait_hr_ready` in each copy against a stubbed kubectl, and
pins the copies byte-identical. The population is every definition in
the tree found by grep, minus two named exceptions held to still differ,
so a new copy joins without editing the test and an exception whose copy
converges goes red:

- `examples/backups/redis/00-helpers.sh` is written in the compact
one-line style of the rest of that file, so converging it rewrites its
shape rather than applying the shared body.
- `examples/backups/kafka-metadata/00-helpers.sh` is a helper of its own
with the same diagnostic gap on timeout (it prints no reason at all),
and closing that is a change to kafka-metadata.

`docs/agents/e2e-testing.md` replaces the reviewer checklist's 5-6m
standard and its list of exceptions, which the tree had outgrown, with
the floor a wait has to beat and the rule that a longer wait carries its
reason in-line. The derivation gets a section of its own, opening with
the rule in one line. For a release an app chart renders itself the
floor is `spec.install.timeout`, then `spec.timeout`, then
helm-controller's 5m default, and the nested `<name>-system` releases
never take cozystack-api's 10m. The harbor comments name the floor each
of their asserts sits against, and the opensearch comment stops citing
the removed standard.

Adding `hack/mariadb-first-boot-waits.bats` does not escalate the E2E
selection: `hack/[^/]+\.bats$` sits in `inert_config_pattern` in
`hack/select-e2e.sh`, and `full_suite_pattern` escalates only
`hack/e2e-*.bats`. On this changeset `hack/select-e2e.sh` selects
`clickhouse harbor mariadb mongodb opensearch postgres rabbitmq`.

What this costs is paid only on a failing run; the raised numbers are
ceilings. Summing the timeouts stated on each suite's own steps, mariadb
goes from 92m to 114m, clickhouse from 116m to 128m, rabbitmq from 67m
to 79m and mongodb from 95m to 101m, before the untimed steps that fall
back to the defaults in `.chainsaw.yaml`. clickhouse is the most
expensive suite by that sum. All of them compete for the 215m
`timeout-minutes` of the whole `e2e` job, which also covers image
download, sandbox preparation and the Cozystack install, and a job
cancelled at the cap loses both its log and `cozyreport.tgz`.

This does not fix the failure that led here. In the run that prompted
the investigation the mariadb replica never opened port 3306 at all,
spending its whole 310-second budget inside `mariadb-install-db` before
being killed, and no wait budget would have saved it. That defect is
#3744. What this fixes is a second, independent defect found while
reading the same code.

One thing here is argued rather than measured: the mechanism is checked
against helm-controller and kstatus, and every number is derived from
the tree, but no run ID pins that it is what any particular red run hit.
Both floors justify 660s whatever the cause was, so being wrong about
the cause leaves slack rather than breakage.

### Not in this PR

- This PR retires the mariadb, mongodb, rabbitmq and clickhouse
walkthrough waits and the two mariadb asserts. The rest is tracked in
#4404: the other Chainsaw HR-Ready asserts under their floor, the harbor
asserts, the 300-second bucket waits, the postgres waits, and the redis
and kafka-metadata diagnostic gap.
- The clickhouse round-trip comment says every wait fails fast,
`wait_hr_ready` on `Stalled=True`, "so a genuinely broken backup reports
in seconds". A release whose install is still running is neither Ready
nor Stalled, so that holds for a stalled release and not for an install
that has not finished. The sentence predates this change.
- `hack/mariadb-first-boot-waits.bats` is large for what it guards (two
floors, two ratchets on the op, and the helper identity pin), with many
fixture tests on its own extractors. Trimming it to that core is a
separate decision.
- Two comments in that file state facts about the mariadb suite that are
true today and that nothing checks: three script ops carry a minute
timeout, and the only one ahead of the round-trip is the 8m pre-clean.
- The mariadb op comment says a bound on the whole flow "needs a phase
budget (docs/agents/e2e-testing.md)"; the doc describes it as bounding
the collection phase as a phase (`COZY_DIAG_PHASE_BUDGET`), so the
pointer would resolve faster if it named that bullet.
- Cosmetic: the behavioural test's loop body is not indented under its
`for`, one line of the bats header runs past the width of the rest, and
the checklist's sentence under the example assert ("what this block
demonstrates least") reads awkwardly.

### Screenshots

Not a UI change.

### Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map in `docs/agents/contributing.md` against the
diff, file by file, for all eighteen files. The five
`examples/backups/*/00-helpers.sh` files change the diagnostics of
`wait_hr_ready`, and the mariadb, mongodb, rabbitmq and clickhouse
walkthrough scripts change wait budgets; the manifests the walkthroughs
apply and the flows they document are unchanged, so no website page
restates anything that moved. Four Chainsaw suites (mariadb, clickhouse,
mongodb, rabbitmq) change timeouts and comments, and the harbor and
opensearch suites change comments only. `docs/agents/e2e-testing.md`
changes the reviewer checklist entry and adds the sizing section.
`hack/mariadb-first-boot-waits.bats` is a new file picked up by the
existing `BATS_UNIT_FILES` wildcard. `hack/package.mk`,
`hack/common-envs.mk` and `hack/update-crd.sh` are untouched, and no
`values.schema.json`, `values.yaml` default, version enum,
`ApplicationDefinition`, CRD, namespace or release asset is touched.

Aleksei Sviridkin b1519acfe7 fix(e2e): cap the bucket S3 reads so the verify step honors its timeout (#4281)
## What this PR does

Refs #4268 — a plain reference, not `Fixes`: the issue asks for a
`script` op to be cut off at its declared ceiling, and that is Chainsaw
behaviour this repo cannot change. Chainsaw runs the op's shell under
Go's `exec.CommandContext`, whose default cancel SIGKILLs the shell PID
alone and then blocks on the inherited stdout/stderr pipe until an
orphaned `mc` closes it, so the op returns only when `mc` exits on its
own rather than at the ceiling. This PR mitigates that where it bit —
per-command caps so no descendant outlives its own budget — but the
op-timeout gap itself lives in Chainsaw, so the link stays a reference
rather than a `Fixes`. The sibling step that produced the 606s,
`verify-every-bucket-takes-a-write` in the `bucket-1-capacity` Test, is
on `main` and already carries its own per-call caps; this PR applies the
same shape to `verify-s3-access`.

On run 34948279363 the bucket suite's
`verify-every-bucket-takes-a-write` step declared `timeout: 5m` but ran
606s and ended on `mc`'s own non-zero status rather than being cut at
the ceiling. `verify-s3-access` in
`hack/e2e-chainsaw/bucket/chainsaw-test.yaml` is the same-shaped step in
this suite. This PR wraps every S3 (`mc`) and apiserver (`kubectl`) read
in `verify-s3-access` in its own `timeout`, so a hung read dies at a
known budget instead of holding the step open, and corrects the two
places (`hack/e2e-chainsaw/.chainsaw.yaml` and
`docs/agents/e2e-testing.md`) that explained the op ceiling with a
mechanism that does not hold. It caps `verify-s3-access` for sharing the
shape, not for producing the 606s number.

### Which of the issue's two candidate mechanisms holds

The issue named two candidates and stated the log could not separate
them. The Chainsaw v0.2.15 source separates them, and it is the second
one, with the exact refinement the issue proposed.

**Candidate 1 — "an operation `timeout` does not bound a `script` op" —
is refuted.** The op timeout is applied and does reach the process:
`pkg/runner/operations/script.go:24` copies the step's `timeout` into
`Timeouts.Exec`, and `:38` wraps the op context with `ctx, cancel :=
context.WithTimeout(ctx, tc.Timeouts().Exec)` before calling
`op.Exec(ctx, …)`. So a 5m step produces a real 300s deadline on the
context the command runs under.

**Candidate 2 — "it bounds it and kills the shell, but Chainsaw waits on
a pipe a grandchild (`mc`) still holds open" — is confirmed.** In
`pkg/engine/operations/script/operation.go` the command is built with
`exec.CommandContext(ctx, shell, …)` (`:105`), and in `execute` its
stdout/stderr are set to `*bytes.Buffer` (`:128`–`:129`, the buffers are
`internal.CommandOutput` in
`pkg/engine/operations/internal/command_output.go:12`–`13`) and run via
`cmd.Run()` (`:130`). Two Go `os/exec` properties then produce the
overrun: `exec.CommandContext`'s default cancel is `Process.Kill()` on
the shell PID alone — not a process-group kill, and the operation sets
no `SysProcAttr.Setpgid` — and because stdout/stderr are not `*os.File`,
`os/exec` allocates OS pipes and copier goroutines, so `cmd.Wait()`
blocks until those pipes reach EOF. EOF needs every inherited write-end
closed. When the shell forks `mc`, `mc` inherits those fds; at 300s the
deadline SIGKILLs the shell but `mc` is orphaned, keeps retrying the S3
PUT, and holds the pipe, so the op does not return until `mc` exits on
its own at 606s. `cmd.Run()` then returns `signal: killed`, which is
stored in the `$error` binding and never printed — only the `($error ==
null): true` check failure is logged — which is why grepping the run for
`signal: killed` found nothing.

**Empirical confirmation.** A standalone Go program reproduces it
exactly. `exec.CommandContext` with a 1s timeout, `*bytes.Buffer`
stdout/stderr, running `sh -c 'sleep 2 & sleep 4'` (a descendant that
inherits the pipe): `cmd.Run()` returns after ~4s, not 1s, with
`err=signal: killed` and `ctx.Err()=context deadline exceeded` — the
ceiling fired at 1s, control came back only when the descendant closed
the pipe. Redirecting the descendants' stdout/stderr away from the pipe
(`… >/dev/null 2>&1`) returns at 1.00s. That is the whole mechanism: the
ceiling cuts the shell but not a descendant that still holds the pipe.

### The fix

Per-command caps, the remedy the issue itself points to ("every read
carries its own cap") and the shape already used elsewhere in the suite.
The bucket step now defines a `k()` wrapper (`timeout 30 kubectl`) and
an `mc()` wrapper (`timeout 15 mc`) for the reads, and calls `timeout 45
mc cp` directly for the two PUTs; a hung read is killed at its own
budget, releasing the inherited pipe promptly, so even when the op
ceiling fires the residual is one inner cap rather than `mc`'s full
retry exhaustion. The terminal precedents for these budgets are the
redis suite's terminal `k()` (30s, `redis/chainsaw-test.yaml:298`) and
the sibling `verify-every-bucket-takes-a-write` step's terminal `mc cp`
(45s, `:390`, sized for a volume grow); the 15s cap on `mc` in
`hack/e2e-chainsaw/_lib/backup-access-preflight.sh` is not a precedent,
because it sits inside a `while :;` retry loop where a 124 costs one
attempt, whereas here under `set -e` a 124 ends the step. The inner
budgets — 2×30 for the two `k` reads + 2×45 for the two `mc cp` PUTs +
at most 7×15 for the other `mc` calls (eight other call sites, but the
two cleanup `mc rm` are mutually exclusive) + the 30s port-forward
readiness wait = at most 285s — sit under the 5m op ceiling, which stays
as a backstop, per the "op above the sum of inner budgets" rule in
`docs/agents/e2e-testing.md`. The long-lived `kubectl port-forward`
keeps no cap by design (it must persist for the whole step, and its
stdout/stderr are already redirected to `/dev/null`, so it cannot hold
the step's pipe). The `mc()` wrapper is non-recursive because `timeout`
execs its argument through a PATH lookup that bypasses shell functions —
verified in `dash`, `bash` and `sh`. The `catch` block's diagnostic read
gets the same treatment — `timeout 30 kubectl` under a 1m op `timeout` —
for the same pipe reason.

### The readonly deny probe fails on a timeout

The readonly-upload probe used to branch on `mc` directly (`if mc cp …;
then`), which suspends `set -e`, so a `timeout` there (exit 124) was
indistinguishable from the access-denied non-zero the probe expects: a
45s hang on the deny path would exit 124, take the false branch, reach
cleanup and exit 0 — a long hang turned green, the exact window this PR
exists to bound. This is the first `ro-user` write in the step, so no
earlier call proved that path healthy. The probe now captures the
status: exit 0 is the readonly regression, 124 is a timed-out probe,
both fail; any other non-zero is the expected denial.

### No unit surface; why the evidence is the proof

This is an e2e-config and doc-correctness change. The embedded Chainsaw
script is not extracted into a unit harness anywhere in the tree, so
there is no red-to-green unit test to add without inventing a bespoke
script-linter (which would be a new checker standing in for the fix).
The regression is instead pinned by the mechanism proof above: the
source citations show the ceiling cannot cut a descendant that holds the
pipe, and the caps remove the only way a descendant outlives its budget.
The deny-probe status handling and the pipe-vs-file secret reads were
exercised against stub exit codes (0 → regression-fail, 124 →
timeout-fail, other non-zero → expected denial) and the whole script
passes `sh -n` and `bash -n`.

### Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map in `docs/agents/contributing.md` against the
diff. The change touches only `hack/e2e-chainsaw/` suite content and
`docs/agents/e2e-testing.md`; it moves or renames nothing under `hack/`,
and touches no node-prerequisite or `package.mk` path. No downstream
repository is reached.

Aleksei Sviridkin b96c822bde docs(agents): give the HR-Ready budget derivation its own section
The checklist entry had grown into a derivation and buried the rule it
states. The rule stays in the checklist and the derivation moves to a
section of its own.

The derivation under-budgeted in two ways. It stated the 10m install
timeout as universal, while releases an app chart renders itself take
their template's spec.install.timeout, then its spec.timeout, or
helm-controller's 5m where neither is set. And it restated which kinds
kstatus gates on, which is easy to get wrong, so it now points at the
upstream table instead.

The harbor comments now name the floor each of their asserts actually
sits against, and the opensearch comment stops citing a 5-6m standard
the checklist no longer states.

Aleksei Sviridkin 97cb2781db test(e2e): pin the release-history read against the upstream type
The test that claimed to pin the HelmRelease v2 history shape wrote a
HelmRelease document containing the field names it expected, then read
that same document back with the same jsonpath. It established that yq
can read a fixture the test itself composed.

Its own comment described the failure it was meant to catch: a future
Flux release renames the field, the jsonpath matches nothing, the guard
reports no remediation cycle, and real cycles pass the e2e assertion. A
rename moves neither the fixture nor the expression, so the test stays
green through exactly that event. The comment also named where the truth
lives, github.com/fluxcd/helm-controller/api/v2, and pinned a copy of
the author's expectations instead.

Replace it with a Go test that supplies neither half. The expression is
read out of the shell library that ships it, and the object is built
from the upstream type at the version go.mod holds, then serialized and
matched the way kubectl does. A renamed or retyped field is a compile
error or a failed match; a guard that stops reading history fails the
lookup with a message saying so. Both directions were confirmed by
mutation.

Locating the expression by searching the file is not enough on its own.
Inline in a long script, locating it means deciding which occurrences
are code and which are prose, and every way of getting that wrong fails
green: an example quoted near a broken read satisfies the pin while the
guard reads nothing.

So the expression moves into a named assignment in remediation-guard.sh,
which the guard already sources, and the test sources that library and
takes the value the shell is left holding. Deciding which text is the
assignment is then not the test's problem: an `export`, an indent, a
second assignment later in the file all resolve the way the guard will
resolve them, because the thing resolving them is the shell.

Sourcing borrows the environment along with the shell, so the snippet
unsets the name before it sources. `go test` hands the child its own
environment, and a shell that had exported this name would answer in
place of a library that stopped assigning it: the value comes back
non-empty, the empty check stays quiet, and the pin passes over a guard
that reads nothing. That is this file's own subject reaching it through
the environment rather than through the source.

Moving the expression out of the call site puts a step between what is
pinned and what runs, so the call site is checked too, and the check
starts from the call rather than from the text: the local the guard is
handed must be assigned exactly once, by an anchored assignment whose
jsonpath is the expansion of the shared name. That a well-formed read
exists somewhere in the file is a weaker claim than it reads as, since
a second assignment to the same local, or a read filling another one,
satisfies it while the guard runs a literal nothing here pins. The
expansion and not the name: kubectl echoes a braceless template back
verbatim, so a read that dropped the `$` would return its own text,
clear the script's empty-history backstop, and carry no status the cycle
check matches. The library is checked by sourcing rather than by
reading, so an assignment the shell would run is resolved by the shell
instead of by a guess about which text the shell would pick. Each rule
is pinned by its own test, so a regression names which one it opened
rather than only that extraction broke.

How kubectl's printer treats an absent path is its own configuration
rather than part of this contract, so it is left unasserted: guessing at
it would put the expectation and the fixture back in the same hands.

Aleksei Sviridkin 9efe78ce44 test(e2e): hold the tenant-cluster install wait to an ordering rule (#3802)
A test that creates a tenant `Kubernetes` cluster must not end while
that release is still installing. The kind drops the install wait on its
main resources, but the chart's blocking post-install hook still holds
the install open, so a test that asserts and ends hands the rest of it
to teardown. Teardown then reds on a step that tests nothing. Reading
the cluster mid-install is fine. Ending mid-install is not.

`hack/e2e-chainsaw/_lib/run-kubernetes.sh` already waits for the parent
release before its tenant-cluster assertions, and that wait is older
than this change. Nothing held it there. This adds the guard that does.

The guard reads the script, not Chainsaw fixtures: the cluster comes
from a heredoc, so a guard walking `apply.file` would find nothing to
check and pass. It requires the CR, then a readiness wait on the parent
release, then the assertions the test ends on. The wait has to block,
and it has to be unconditional in the body that holds it. One more case
holds this script to being the only creator of that kind, since a second
one would be governed by no rule here.

The ordering is read within one function body, so splitting
`run_kubernetes_test` reds the unit lane until the rule is pointed at
the new shape.

Timeout length stays with review. The floor depends on where the wait
sits, and the script text does not carry that.

Which spellings each matcher takes, which rewrites it refuses instead of
judging, and the blind spots it names are written in the guard's header
next to the code, each with its mechanism and whether it fails loudly or
quietly. Fixtures mark their own lines, so a probe resolves by name
instead of by a line number that drifts.

No runtime code here: the guard, its fixtures, and the conventions that
state the rule.

Alexey Artamonov ac92b6b95c fix(e2e): cap the bucket verify S3 reads so the step honors its timeout
A Chainsaw `script` op runs its shell under exec.CommandContext with
stdout and stderr wired to in-process buffers. When the op timeout
fires it SIGKILLs the shell process alone, not its descendants, and
cmd.Wait() does not return until every process that inherited the pipe
fds closes them. An mc that keeps retrying an S3 call after the shell
is gone holds the pipe open, so the op runs to mc's own exhaustion
instead of stopping at its ceiling. This is why the bucket suite's
verify-every-bucket-takes-a-write step ran 606s under a 300s ceiling.

verify-s3-access shares that shape, so wrap each S3 and apiserver read
in its own `timeout`: a hung read dies at a known budget and the op
timeout stays a backstop. The 30s kubectl cap matches the terminal `k`
wrapper the redis suite carries. The two `mc cp` PUTs take 45s, the
budget verify-every-bucket-takes-a-write already gives a write, because
a working PUT can still wait while the master grows a volume for a
freshly created bucket; 15s left too little headroom on that grow and
could turn a slow-but-healthy write red on an unrelated PR. The 15s cap
on the mc reads has no terminal precedent: the backup-access preflight
caps `mc cp` at 15s too, but inside a retry loop where a 124 costs one
attempt rather than the step, so it is not one. Land each secret's
encoded value in a file before base64 -d so a timed-out kubectl read
(exit 124) stops the step under set -e rather than masking as an
empty-credential mc alias set further down.

The readonly-upload deny probe branched on mc directly (if mc cp ...),
which suspends set -e, so a timeout there (exit 124) was
indistinguishable from the access-denied non-zero the probe expects: a
hung deny path would exit 124, take the false branch, and reach a green
cleanup, the exact window this change bounds. Capture the status
instead: exit 0 is the readonly regression, 124 is a timed-out probe,
both fail; any other non-zero is the expected denial.

The suite's own catch read (the `kubectl get pods` in namespace
cozy-objectstorage-controller) carried neither an op timeout nor an
inner cap, so it inherits timeouts.exec (5m) and can hold the pipe the
same way; give it a 30s inner cap and a 1m op timeout so the rule the
rest of the file follows holds for it too.

The .chainsaw.yaml notes still read the op ceiling as a reliable cut,
the old SIGKILL as a de-facto cap and a smaller timeout as guaranteeing
a kill; correct them, since the shell-only kill plus the pipe wait are
why an inner cap on every read is required rather than optional.

Aleksei Sviridkin 5fe595d4c0 test(e2e): hold the tenant-cluster install wait to an ordering rule
A test that creates a tenant Kubernetes cluster cannot END while that
release is still installing. A Helm release cannot be uninstalled
mid-install, and for this kind the install can outlive the fast
assertions: the kind carries helm-install-disable-wait, which drops
the wait on the main resources but not on the chart's blocking
post-install hook. A test that asserts and ends hands the remainder of
the install to teardown, where it is reported red on a step that tests
nothing.

The rule is about ending, not about touching the cluster at all. The
hook polls for the admin kubeconfig in the modes that have one, and
that Secret is what the test needs to reach the tenant API, so
bringing up a worker or waiting on a child release happens while the
parent is still installing. Reading mid-install is fine.

run-kubernetes.sh already does the right thing: it waits for the
parent release to reach Ready before the tenant-cluster assertions.
Nothing held it there. This adds the guard that does, and states the
rule where the e2e conventions live.

The guard reads the script rather than Chainsaw fixtures, because no
fixture applies this kind and a guard walking apply.file would pass by
having nothing to check. A case asserts that this stays the only
script creating it, and the sweep behind it keys on the apiVersion and
kind together so that an indented apply.resource block counts as a
creator too. It reads scripts and manifests only, and that rule is
pre-emptive rather than a response to what the root holds today: a
manifest quoted in prose or parked in a `.disabled` file creates no
cluster, and this repository writes the first shape in docs that lie
outside the root.

The rules it holds the script to -- what counts as a wait with teeth,
where in the body it has to stand, what may not switch errexit off
above it, and which call shapes count as an end-assertion -- are in
the file's header beside the code that enforces them, each with the
spellings it accepts and what it cannot see. How to size the budget is
derived once in the e2e conventions.

Nothing is added at the wait itself: hack/e2e-chainsaw/_lib is shared
by every Chainsaw suite, so a comment there escalates this change from
no e2e suites to the full suite, and the guard already reds on the
move it would have warned about.

Myasnikov Daniil c748c5b707 docs(e2e): drop the references the removed suites and carve-out left behind
Convention 7 still sent readers to the node-join carve-out, while
section 1 of the same file -- rewritten on this branch -- says the
script, the marker and the soft_red output no longer exist. Restated as
what the deadline now is.

hack/e2e-chainsaw/README.md still listed kubernetes-oidc-system and
kubernetes-oidc-customconfig among the suites, and select-install.sh's
suite_to_source() still mapped both. The mapping is harmless today
because the round-trip pin walks existing directories, but select-e2e.sh
says the two functions have to stay in step, so a stale half is a trap
for whoever reads that promise.

sandbox-runner-headroom.bats keeps reading the QEMU sandbox file for
every lane, container lanes included: `prepare-env` also matches
`prepare-env-container`, and the compose file gives its nodes the same
8 CPU / 24576 MiB by design. The figures are therefore right for both
substrates, but only because the two agree -- and that they agree is
pinned in container-lane-capacity_test.bats rather than here. Said so in
the test, so the next reader knows what would have to change if the
container lane is ever sized differently.

Myasnikov Daniil 12157a2f93 docs(agents): describe the container lane as the merged standard
The container lane moves out of "In-flight direction (not yet the merged
standard)" and into the body, because it is now what both merge-gating
lanes run. The node-join section is rewritten the other way round: it
described a deadline that failed the suite without blocking the lane,
and there is no longer any such carve-out to describe.

What the section gains is the part that was missing while the lane was a
spike -- what moves off the per-PR path with the substrate, and where it
still gets covered. DRBD and the replicated StorageClass were already
named; Immediate binding, tenant StorageClass propagation and the
Cozystack Talos node image were not, and all three now say nightly and
release-candidate rather than reading as lost. The host CPU and memory
visibility gap is stated too, since it is what a reader meets first on a
red run and it looks like a product bug.

Aleksei Sviridkin ad62a8d62b test(e2e): stop blocking merges on the tenant node-join deadline
The tenant node-join wait no longer discriminates. Nested
virtualisation on the shared runners degrades far enough that a guest
which registers in minutes on real hardware can miss any deadline this
test can afford, so a red on that one wait says as much about the
machine the run landed on as about the product, and it teaches a
reader to re-run the job.

The suite still fails on it. That is what keeps Chainsaw's catch
running: the previous-instance container logs, the host snapshot, the
data-plane capture and the event dump are all keyed on the test
failing, and the report stays honest. What changes is one layer up.
The wait writes a marker beside its diagnostics, and a new lane-side
gate reads that marker to decide whether the job blocks. It opens only
when every failed test in the run carries one, and blocks on anything
it cannot attribute: a report it could not read, a failed test the
report does not name, a failure with no marker.

Only the lanes that block a merge ask it. The two pull-request lanes
do; nightly and the tag lane run the same suites and stay hard. A soft
pass on the tag lane would ship a release candidate whose tenant
clusters brought up no worker nodes, and nightly is the only place an
e2e failure reaches anyone who did not open a pull request, since no
lane in this tree notifies anywhere.

A softened red finishes the job green, so the job's result stops
answering whether the suite passed, and both kinds of consumer are
handed the decision instead of inferring it. A step gated on the job
failing would silently stop running: the SSH breakpoint is that case,
and it still opens for a pull request marked for debugging. A job that
reports the result would silently start reporting a pass: the required
commit status now says the deadline was missed and that the merge is not
blocked on it, rather than that the suite passed.

The deadline goes to 29m. That is the test's own budget and nothing
more: its clock starts after the machinedeployment wait, the
LoadBalancer assignment and the healthz probe, while the chart's
autoscaler and health-check timers have been running since the Machine
was created, so no ordering against them is claimed. The chart's 20m
and 30m give a scale to pick against, and a budget over the first
leaves room for a remediation cycle without promising that one fits.

The operation ceiling both suites give the script rises with the
deadline, and the diagnostics phase budget rises inside it, because
the collectors gated ahead of the serial console cost more between
them than the old budget covered. Both budget guards read their terms
from the sources that set them. The e2e job cap rises with them, and
its guard holds what a guard can hold: the pair's operation and catch
ceilings, and one figure across every lane that runs the suite. It
also records that the suites' full summed ceilings have never fit any
cap in that file, so the margin above the bound is taken from a
measured run instead. The prose that restates the cap elsewhere moves
with it, and the sweep that holds the deadline's restatements now
reads the figure spelled in words as well as in minutes.

Aleksei Sviridkin 9ccb133b66 fix(ci): de-escalate select-e2e and name every escalation (#3817)
## Why

I replayed the 150 most recently merged pull requests through
`hack/select-e2e.sh` with every escalation branch instrumented. 118 of
them (78.7%) ran the full 21-suite Chainsaw run, and the causes, counted
once per escalating PR with the count where that cause was the only one
in brackets, were `FULL_PATTERN` 88 [68], `NO_SUITE_FOR_GROUP` 24 [24],
`CHAINSAW_SHARED` 18 [1] and `UNCLASSIFIED` 7 [4]. `YQ_BROKEN`,
`NO_GRAPH_OWNER` and `BACKSTOP_EMPTY` never fired.

Two problems come out of that. Most of the escalation is real but
unnecessary. Whole classes of path that provably cannot affect a
Chainsaw suite were escalating because no rule claimed them. And the
commonest cause of a full run was absent from the log, so "why did this
pull request run everything" could only be answered by re-deriving the
selection by hand.

## What changes

**Every escalation now names its cause on stderr.** Seven branches could
reach the full suite and four did it in silence, `full_suite_pattern`
among them, the commonest cause by a wide margin, so the usual answer
was the one the log never carried. The lines go to stderr and must stay
there: stdout is the suite list and both e2e lanes parse it, so a reason
line on stdout would be read as a suite name. A unit test asserts every
message, verified by muting each of the eleven in turn and confirming
the file goes red for all of them. A reason that regresses to silence
changes no selection and is otherwise invisible.

**`cozystack.etcd-application` gains its missing `dependsOn:
cozystack.etcd-operator`.** `packages/extra/etcd` renders `kind:
EtcdCluster` from `etcd-operator.cozystack.io/v1alpha2`, and this was
the only operator-backed application source in the tree with no edge to
its operator. It is a latent install bug as much as a selection gap:
without the edge `etcd-rd` registers the ApplicationDefinition as soon
as the engine is up, so a tenant can create an `Etcd` before the
operator exists and its HelmRelease fails on `no matches for kind
"EtcdCluster"`, and `hack/select-install.sh`'s forward closure for the
`etcd` suite omitted the operator for the same reason. On the selection
side `cozystack.etcd-operator` reached no runnable suite, so every
change to the operator ran all 21.

**`vm-disk-application` maps to the `vminstance` suite.** It resolved to
a `vm-disk` suite that does not exist, `intersect_suites()` dropped the
name, and the source reached nothing runnable. Neither did
`cozystack.kubevirt-cdi` above it, whose only other dependents are
`vm-default-images` and `vm-disk-application` itself, so every CDI
change ran all 21. The coverage was there and the table did not know it:
the `vminstance` suite creates a `VMDisk` and asserts the `DataVolume`
behind it (`hack/e2e-chainsaw/vminstance/vmdisk.yaml`,
`vmdisk-vmi.yaml`). Same defect class as the etcd edge above, on the
mapping side rather than the graph side, and with no production blast
radius of its own, since `src_to_suites` is read by the selector and by
nothing else.

**`cozystack.cozystack-basics` joins `cozystack.cozystack-engine` as a
propagation hub excluded from the reverse-dependency walk.** Every edge
into it exists so a namespace or a platform-wide policy is in place
before the dependent installs, which `kubevirt-cdi` states in its own
source ("Depend on cozystack-basics so the target namespace exists
first"), and that is install ordering rather than behaviour. The damage
runs opposite to the engine's: the engine fans one change out to every
app, basics narrows instead. It reaches no suite today so it escalates,
but it sits upstream of `kubevirt-cdi`, so the first suite to land under
CDI silently converts the platform's namespace-and-policy package from
the full run to that one suite. Not hypothetical — on #3426 enabling the
site-router suite takes `cozystack-basics` from 22 suites to
`site-router` alone, and nothing in the output says coverage was lost.
Dropping the reverse edges keeps the package reachable, stops it
propagating, and leaves a change to it running everything through the
per-path escalation.

**`hack/e2e-apps/<name>.bats` maps to the `<name>` suite**, off the
basename, exactly as the per-suite rule takes the name off a
`hack/e2e-chainsaw/<app>/` directory. Deliberately mapped rather than
marked inert: what remains there is wired to nothing after the Chainsaw
migration, and inert would bake that orphan status into the rule and go
quietly wrong the day a lane runs those files again. The basename is
membership-tested against the suite list on the spot, so an unmatched
one escalates there and then rather than having the verdict deferred to
the final intersection, where the rest of the diff would decide it.

**`packages/tests/` and three `.gitattributes` join
`inert_config_pattern`,** which is what the script's own header says to
do with a genuinely inert path instead of widening the fall-through.
`packages/tests/` is a helm-unittest fixture chart, and changing a test
*of* `cozy-lib` does not change `cozy-lib`, no PackageSource lists those
paths as a component, and nothing installs them, while a change to the
library itself still escalates through `packages/library/`. The
`.gitattributes` entries are enumerated rather than matched by filename,
because the justification is what those files contain (only
`linguist-generated` markers) and the name does not carry it:
`.gitattributes` can also set `filter`, `eol`, `working-tree-encoding`
and `export-subst`, each of which changes what lands in the working tree
and therefore what gets built.

**`full_suite_pattern` escalates only `hack/e2e-*.bats`, not every
`hack/*.bats`.** The root `Makefile` is the authority on the split and
draws it at exactly that prefix, `BATS_UNIT_FILES := $(filter-out
hack/e2e-%.bats,$(wildcard hack/*.bats))`, so the 60 files it keeps are
the unit lane and the e2e sandbox runs none of them, while the three it
filters out are what `packages/core/testing`'s recipes execute and those
still escalate. Being inert here does not leave them untested: `make
unit-tests` is gated on the `plan` job's `code` output, which
`pull-requests.yaml` computes as "any changed path outside `docs/`" and
never from `select-e2e.sh`, so a bats-only pull request still runs the
whole unit lane, plus install and the OpenAPI tests, since the `e2e` job
reads the same output rather than the selection.

## Measured effect

The before-and-after comparison below is a second measurement over a
slightly different population, stated separately because the two are not
interchangeable: it replays the last 150 first-parent merge commits on
`main` (`git diff --name-only $sha^1 $sha`) through the base selector
with base sources versus this branch with its own, where the histogram
above walks the 150 merged pull requests as GitHub lists them. The
populations overlap heavily and the direction is the same, and the
totals differ by two commits.

| | full suite | scoped | nothing |
|---|---|---|---|
| before | 120 | 20 | 10 |
| after | 106 | 25 | 19 |

Full-suite rate 80.0% → 70.7%, verdict changed on 15 commits. Fourteen
de-escalated and I read every one of their file lists: they are
unit-lane bats files, non-e2e workflows, `docs/`, `CODEOWNERS`,
helm-unittest fixtures and linguist markers. The fifteenth gets one
suite *wider*: a `cert-manager` change now also selects `etcd`, which is
correct, since `cert-manager` is a dependency of `etcd-operator` and the
etcd app now genuinely reaches it through the new edge.

That replay predates the two reachability rules, and replaying the same
150 first-parent merges across those two on their own — the selector at
`73bc4c0ae` against the selector at `adf231513`, same sources on both
sides — changes no verdict at all. Two of the 150 touch
`cozystack-basics` and both ran the full suite before and after, which
is the hub exclusion keeping something true rather than failing to do
anything, and none of the 150 touch `kubevirt-cdi` or `vm-disk`, so the
mapping shows up only in a direct selection.

A few individual selections, before → after:

| changed files | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `hack/select-e2e_test.bats` | 21 suites | *nothing* |
| `hack/select-e2e_test.bats` +
`packages/apps/redis/templates/redis.yaml` | 21 suites | `redis` |
| `hack/e2e-install-cozystack.bats` | 21 suites | 21 suites |
| `packages/tests/cozy-lib-tests/**` | 21 suites | *nothing* |
| `packages/system/.gitattributes` | 21 suites | *nothing* |
| `hack/e2e-apps/postgres.bats` | 21 suites | `postgres` |
| `packages/system/etcd-operator/values.yaml` | 21 suites | `etcd` |
| `packages/system/kubevirt-cdi/values.yaml` | 21 suites | `vminstance`
|
| `packages/apps/vm-disk/values.yaml` | 21 suites | `vminstance` |
| `packages/system/cozystack-basics/values.yaml` | 21 suites | 21 suites
|

## Blast radius of the `dependsOn` edge

A `dependsOn` on a PackageSource is an install-ordering edge in
production, not only a test-selection hint, so this is the part worth
reviewing hardest. Both Packages are emitted by
`packages/core/platform/templates/bundles/system.yaml` under the single
`bundles.system.enabled` guard with no intervening conditional between
them, in every variant, so no supported configuration has the app
without the operator. `hack/select-install.sh --validate` reports the
graph still has no cycle and nothing dangling. The one new exposure is
an admin who lists `cozystack.etcd-operator` in
`bundles.disabledPackages` while keeping the app, which now leaves it
`DependenciesNotReady`. That is the same exposure postgres, mariadb,
kafka and redis already carry, with `Package.spec.ignoreDependencies` as
the escape hatch. On upgrade `etcd-rd` waits for the operator's two
HelmReleases, and an unhealthy `etcd-operator` already means broken etcd
apps.

## Testing

Every rule added or changed has a test in `hack/select-e2e_test.bats`,
the install-side change has one in `hack/select-install_test.bats`, and
the new graph edge has a helm-unittest guard at
`packages/core/platform/tests/sources_etcd_application_dependson_test.yaml`.
The round-trip test that walks every suite through both mapping tables
stays green, `vminstance` included now that two sources map onto it.

The two reachability rules were each checked by removing the rule and
confirming its own test reddens: without the mapping the CDI test falls
back to the full-suite escalation, and without the hub exclusion
`cozystack-basics` selects `redis vminstance` instead of everything. The
hub test has to seed its own hazard, since no suite sits downstream of
basics in this tree yet, so it gives `redis-application` an edge onto
basics in a copied sources directory and pins that a redis change still
selects redis, or the assertion would pass against a graph that resolved
nothing.

`make bats-unit-tests` aborts on the first failing file (`for f in …; do
… || exit 1; done`), and `hack/ghcr-mirror_test.bats` fails on `main`
today and sorts before `select-e2e_test.bats`, so the aggregate target
never reaches these tests. I ran the 60 unit files individually instead:
59 pass, and the one failure is that pre-existing one, byte-identical to
the base commit and referencing nothing this branch touches. Also green:
`make helm-unit-tests`, `make rd-presets-check migrations-target-check
test-check-readiness`, `hack/select-install.sh --validate`, and
`pre-commit run --all-files` leaving a clean tree.

## Two things a reviewer should know, neither addressed here

`assert_selection` in `hack/select-e2e_test.bats` aborts the whole file
with `exit 1` rather than failing a single test. That is the only thing
that works under `hack/cozytest.sh`, which provides no real `run`,
`$status` or `skip`, and it is the idiom the existing tests in that file
already use. It becomes wrong when #3497 and #3498 flatten these onto
real `bats(1)`, where a failing assert should end one test and let the
rest report. Worth converting with that work rather than ahead of it.

`cozystack.mongodb-application` carries the identical missing operator
edge: `packages/apps/mongodb` renders `psmdb.percona.com/v1` while the
source depends only on `cozystack.networking` and
`cozystack.cozystack-engine`, so `cozystack.mongodb-operator` still
reaches no runnable suite and every change to it escalates to all 21.
Same defect class and same fix shape as the etcd edge, but it is a
second production install-ordering change and belongs in its own pull
request.

Aleksei Sviridkin b76cb2091c test(e2e): record the runner VM shape and region in the e2e report
An e2e lane asks for a runner class, not for a machine. A flex shape is
filled from whatever capacity the pool has at the time, so one lane can
be served by two processor generations, and the region is a preference
with a fallback. None of that reached the report, so a red run and a
green one could not be compared by the hardware they ran on.

The read is taken on the runner VM, before the sandbox container is
created, because the metadata service answers on a link-local address
the container has no guaranteed route to: an "unreachable" answered from
in there would look exactly like a capture that had tried. It is wired
into the sandbox apply target rather than into a workflow step, so every
lane picks it up through `make prepare-env` on both the passing and the
failing path, and cozyreport folds the file into the artifact from
inside without going near the endpoint.

The keys are fetched one at a time and the root instance document never
is. That document carries the instance and compartment OCIDs, the image
OCID, the display name, the hostname and the user metadata bag, and the
report is a public artifact, so asking per key makes that property
something the wire settles rather than something a filter has to be
trusted for. It also matches where the shape sizing is published: it has
its own subpath and is not in the root document at all. From the sizing
object only the numbers are kept, so the rule holds for keys nobody has
seen yet, and an answer that is not one scalar is named rather than
printed.

Every read carries a wall-clock ceiling, since a read that never returns
costs the step its whole budget without reaching any exit status, and the
first key doubles as the probe so a machine that is not an OCI instance
pays one ceiling rather than one per key. Nothing here is fatal: this
runs inside the one retried step in the job, so a runner with no
metadata service leaves an "imds unreachable" line and an exit status
of 0.

Myasnikov Daniil adf231513f fix(ci): correct two reachability defects in the selection graph
Both are cases of the walk reaching the wrong set of suites for a
package, and both were found by enabling the site-router suite on #3426,
which is the first suite in the tree to land downstream of kubevirt-cdi.

`vm-disk-application` now maps to the `vminstance` suite. It mapped to a
`vm-disk` suite that does not exist, which intersect_suites() drops, so
the source reached nothing runnable and neither did kubevirt-cdi above
it: every CDI change ran all 21 suites. The vminstance suite creates a
VMDisk and asserts the DataVolume behind it
(hack/e2e-chainsaw/vminstance/vmdisk.yaml, vmdisk-vmi.yaml), so it is the
suite that covers both. A CDI change now selects `vminstance` alone.

`cozystack.cozystack-basics` joins `cozystack.cozystack-engine` as a
propagation hub excluded from the reverse-dependency walk. Every edge
into it exists so a namespace or a platform-wide policy is in place
before the dependent installs -- kubevirt-cdi says exactly that in its
own source -- which is install ordering, not behaviour. The damage runs
opposite to the engine's: the engine fans one change out to every app,
while basics narrows down instead. It reaches no suite today so it
escalates, but it sits upstream of kubevirt-cdi, so the first suite to
land under CDI silently converts the platform's namespace-and-policy
package from the full run to that one suite. On #3426 that is 22 suites
down to `site-router` alone, with nothing in the output to say coverage
was lost. Dropping the reverse edges keeps the package reachable, stops
it propagating, and leaves a change to it running everything through the
per-path escalation.

Both rules have a test, each verified to redden with its rule removed:
the mapping test falls back to the full-suite escalation, and the hub
test -- which seeds the hazard by giving redis-application an edge onto
basics, since no suite sits downstream of it in this tree yet -- selects
`redis vminstance` instead of everything.

Aleksei Sviridkin cf2d9c6d13 test(e2e): split the tenant worker CPU time across QEMU threads
The node-join diagnostics phase samples the tenant worker's CPU
counters twice on failure, but it reads them from the compute
container's cgroup, and that cgroup holds every thread QEMU runs:
the guest's vCPUs, QEMU's main thread, and its IO and worker
threads. A container burning most of its quota while the guest
reports no progress is two incompatible findings wearing one
number, and no container-level counter separates them.

Add a collector that execs into each Running worker's compute
container, finds the QEMU process and copies every
/proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/stat line into the artifact verbatim, with a
legend beside them. Nothing is computed here. The legend names
where utime and stime sit and why counting fields over whitespace
reads the wrong column for exactly the threads the split is about:
a KVM vCPU thread is named "CPU 0/KVM", that space is inside the
comm parentheses, and every field after it shifts by one.

It runs inside the sampling loop the two existing subjects already
share, so it costs no second wait: both readings ride the interval
already being paid, and the rate comes from the two files plus the
stamps each one carries.

Every way the read can come up short is a named outcome rather than
an empty directory, and the legend and the pairing instruction are
withheld from each of them: telling a reader to subtract two files
asserts that both hold a whole reading. The probe shells out to
nothing but getconf, whose absence it names, because a probe that
needed cat would report a container missing coreutils as a
container whose QEMU had exited, and it counts what it managed to
read so that having read no process at all stays separable from
having read them all without finding QEMU. Its stderr is suppressed
on the walk rather than on either read: redirections are applied
left to right, so a 2>/dev/null after an input redirect is not in
place yet when opening the input fails, and a thread that exits
between the glob and the read would otherwise put a shell
complaint in the artifact beside a healthy capture. It also reports
a QEMU that was named and then gone before its task files could be
opened, because a process heading alone is enough to make the
capture non-empty and would otherwise carry a legend describing
columns the file does not have.

The Pod listing the cAdvisor captures already share now takes its
whole query as a parameter, so this collector reuses that read
rather than carrying a third copy of it, and asks for the Running
Pods only: a launcher left over from an earlier attempt costs the
sibling caller nothing and would cost this one a bounded exec and a
slot under its cap. The guard that holds the sampling group against
the room the tenant snapshot needs now counts every capped walk in
the loop rather than the two spelled the same way, so the new
subject is inside the arithmetic rather than beside it.

Aleksei Sviridkin 959e90c9ab test(e2e): time the guest console capture and baseline it on a green run
A tenant worker's guest console is stamped in seconds since that guest's
own kernel started, so a log ending mid-boot says how far the guest got
and nothing about when. Whether it ends there because the guest started
late or because the guest stopped printing decides which failure is being
looked at, and neither instant was recorded: the read's own instant was
nowhere in the file, surviving only as the artifact's mtime, which is
metadata rather than content and so says nothing to anyone reading the
log; and the guest's start only inside a describe dump that a capture
with no silent console never triggers. Across three collected runs every
capture exited zero and every log began at the first kernel line, so the
reads were complete at both ends and the logs end where the guests
stopped -- and which of the two happened could not be read off any of
them.

Each console log now carries the instant its own read started and
returned, and CAPTURE-TIMELINE.txt beside it carries each Pod's phase,
its start time and the start of its compute and console containers, from
one bounded read taken once for the whole selector. Those subtract to how
long a guest had been alive when it was read, which is what the log's
last kernel stamp is then compared against. The console container is
asked for in both status lists, since KubeVirt runs it as an init
container and reading only one of them would report a container that
started fine as one that never ran. A read that failed, a read cut off
part way and a read that answered with nothing are recorded as
themselves rather than left as a missing file, and the note names the
error log only when there is one.

The same capture also runs on the passing path, before the tenant is torn
down and the Pod holding the stream goes with it. Every console this tree
has collected came from a failure, so what a healthy boot looks like has
never been measured, while "slower than usual" is the claim the failure
keeps resting on. That caller asks for the pool's minimum rather than its
maximum, since two workers booting is the same measurement as ten, and it
warns in the job log rather than failing a suite that has already proved
everything it exists to prove. Both paths write the same directory, so
the capture also records which of them produced it.

That capture costs real wall clock at the tail of an operation with a
fixed ceiling, which is a way for a run that passed to be killed while
collecting a debugging aid. So it is declined out loud when the ceiling
no longer has room for it, against a reserve derived from its own cost
and held in step with the timeout both suites give the operation.

Myasnikov Daniil c28d7804af fix(ci): enumerate the inert .gitattributes instead of matching by name
The rule was broader than its justification. It read `(^|/)\.gitattributes$`,
so it claimed every present and future .gitattributes anywhere, while
the argument for it was about content: every one in this tree holds
nothing but `linguist-generated` markers, which reach no build, chart or
test.

The filename does not carry that argument. .gitattributes can also set
`filter`, `eol`, `working-tree-encoding` and `export-subst`, each of
which changes what lands in the working tree and therefore what gets
built, so a by-name rule would eventually make a live file inert with
nothing to notice it.

Nothing is lost by narrowing, because only three files ever reached the
rule: api/.gitattributes and internal/crdinstall/manifests/.gitattributes
are escalated by full_suite_pattern first, so entries for them would be
dead. Measured against the base selector, those three are exactly the
paths whose classification this branch changes, and they still select
nothing.

Same trade as the workflow enumeration a few lines up, and the same
upkeep, which the comment now states: after adding or moving one,
re-check with `git ls-files '*.gitattributes' '.gitattributes'` and
confirm the contents are still only linguist markers. A .gitattributes
not on the list is classified by whatever rule its path falls under --
the graph inside a package, the unclassified fall-through at the root --
and both fail safe. A test pins that root case, so a future widening
back to a by-name match turns the file red.

Myasnikov Daniil b2702621d3 fix(ci): decide the per-app bats rule per path, not after the merge
Two defects in the hack/e2e-apps/ arm added by the previous commit.

The arm set trigger_any=1 for whatever basename it derived and left the
verdict to the final intersection. That makes the escalation depend on
the REST of the diff: hack/e2e-apps/monitoring-oidc-system.bats alone
emptied the selection and the backstop escalated, but the same file
beside packages/apps/redis/templates/redis.yaml selected `redis` with
nothing on stderr, where the pre-change selector ran all 21 suites.
That is the merge-before-escalate shape #3330 removed from the graph
walk, reintroduced one rule over. The basename is now
membership-tested against the suite list on the spot and an unmatched
one sets trigger_full=1 and names the file.

POSIX case matches `/` with `*`, so the arm also sees nested paths, and
the unanchored capture turned hack/e2e-apps/fixtures/postgres.bats into
the "suite" fixtures/postgres -- right outcome by accident, reason line
printing a path where a suite name belongs. The capture is anchored to
one segment, and what the arm does with anything that is not a
top-level <name>.bats is now stated rather than left to fall out of a
regex: it is shared material for those suites the way
hack/e2e-chainsaw/_lib/ is for the Chainsaw ones, so it escalates for
the same reason.

Both claims that said otherwise are corrected -- the arm's own comment
and docs/agents/e2e-testing.md both asserted the deferred escalation
was equivalent to the old fall-through, which held only for a
single-file diff. The backstop comment drops the e2e-apps clause it
gained last commit, since that route no longer reaches it. The header's
"four of the seven" becomes count-free: this commit adds two escalating
branches, so a hardcoded total was already stale.

Tests: the mixed-diff case is the regression pin (the isolated case
passes with the escalation deferred and cannot see the bug), plus a
nested-path case and a non-.bats case. Both fixes are
mutation-verified -- restoring either defect turns the file red.

Myasnikov Daniil 4d4f5edf92 fix(ci): escalate only the e2e bats files, not the whole unit lane
full_suite_pattern took every hack/*.bats, so all 63 of them ran the
whole Chainsaw suite -- including the 60 that are the unit lane and
that the e2e sandbox never executes.

The root Makefile is the authority on the split and draws it at
exactly the prefix this narrows to:

  BATS_UNIT_FILES := $(filter-out hack/e2e-%.bats,$(wildcard hack/*.bats))

The 60 files it keeps run under `make unit-tests`; the three it
filters out -- e2e-prepare-cluster, e2e-install-cozystack,
e2e-test-openapi -- are the ones packages/core/testing's recipes
execute inside the sandbox, and those still escalate. So no Chainsaw
suite can regress from an edit to one of the 60.

Inert here is not a green gate with nothing behind it. `make
unit-tests` is gated on pull-requests.yaml's `code` output, computed
in the workflow as "any changed path outside docs/" and never from
select-e2e.sh, so a bats-only pull request still runs the whole unit
lane. The `e2e` job reads the same output, so it still installs the
platform and runs the OpenAPI tests before skipping Chainsaw.

Two tests: one pins the rule on both sides of the prefix and asserts
an inert bats file beside an app path does not mask the selection, and
one walks every hack/*.bats in the tree and requires the selector's
verdict to agree with the Makefile's split, so a file named to fit
neither lane surfaces here rather than on the next PR that touches it.

Myasnikov Daniil 33428671fa fix(ci): classify hack/e2e-apps/ and packages/tests/ in select-e2e
Three path classes matched no rule in hack/select-e2e.sh and escalated
to all 21 Chainsaw suites through the unclassified fall-through -- 7
of the last 150 merged pull requests between them.

hack/e2e-apps/<name>.bats now maps to the <name> suite, off the
basename exactly as the per-suite rule takes the name off a
hack/e2e-chainsaw/<app>/ directory. Not marked inert: what is left in
that directory after the Chainsaw migration is wired to nothing, and
inert would bake that orphan status into the rule and go quietly wrong
the day a lane runs those files again. A basename no suite carries
drops out of the intersection at the bottom of the script and
escalates through the backstop, which is the outcome those paths
already had, so mapping optimistically loses nothing and gains the
correct answer for every name that is a suite.

packages/tests/ and every .gitattributes join inert_config_pattern,
which is what the script's own header says to do with a genuinely
inert path rather than widening the fall-through. packages/tests/ is a
helm-unittest fixture chart: changing a test OF cozy-lib does not
change cozy-lib, no PackageSource lists those paths as a component,
and nothing installs them -- a change to the library itself still
escalates through packages/library/. .gitattributes is matched by name
wherever it lives because every one in this tree is a
linguist-generated marker, which reaches no build, chart or test; one
under a tree full_suite_pattern already covers still escalates, since
that pattern is checked first.

Myasnikov Daniil 3c3f9450ae fix(ci): name the cause on every select-e2e escalation
Seven branches in hack/select-e2e.sh escalate to the full Chainsaw
suite and four of them did it in silence: the shared
hack/e2e-chainsaw/_lib/ and .chainsaw.yaml case, the
full_suite_pattern match, a packages/ path no PackageSource claims,
and the empty-selection backstop.

"Run everything" is the same 21 suite names whichever rule produced
it, so a reason line is the only thing that tells the seven apart.
full_suite_pattern is the commonest cause of a full run by a wide
margin -- 88 of the last 150 merged pull requests, 68 of them with no
other cause -- so the usual answer to "why did this pull request run
the whole suite" was the one the log never carried, recoverable only
by re-deriving the selection by hand.

Each new line names the path that caused it rather than only the rule,
and the backstop names the directly-selected names it could not
resolve. They go to stderr, never stdout: stdout is the suite list and
both e2e lanes parse it, so a reason line there would be read as a
suite name.

A unit test asserts each of the four messages. A reason that regresses
to silence changes no selection, so it is invisible to every other
test in the file.

Aleksei Sviridkin ef96292b64 fix(ci): give the nightly e2e runner headroom over its guest vCPUs (#3833)
## What this PR does

The e2e sandbox boots three QEMU nodes at `-smp 8`, so 24 guest vCPUs
are committed before any tenant VM exists. Four jobs boot that sandbox.
Three run on the 32-vCPU class; nightly ran on the 24-vCPU one, where 24
guests against 24 host vCPUs leaves nothing for QEMU's own emulation and
IO threads, containerd, the kernel and the runner agent. The other lanes
moved to the larger class at some point and nightly was not moved with
them.

The sandbox keeps its 24 vCPUs. That guest count is part of what e2e
claims to test, and a smaller nightly cluster stops matching the one PRs
run against.

This is hygiene, not a fix. Measured boot-phase data across 18 runs says
the load a workflow puts on the host dominates guest starvation, not the
runner class: the lanes already on 32 vCPU boot guests slower than
nightly did on 24, and class and workflow kind are fully confounded
there, so neither separates out. Do not read this as making anything
faster or as addressing a particular red run. What is left is the
arithmetic. A 1:1 commit has no headroom at all, and two lanes running
the identical sandbox on different classes is drift nothing was
watching.

The rest is a check, because the guest demand and the runner classes
live in different files and nothing compared them.
`hack/sandbox-runner-headroom.bats` reads `-smp` and `-m` times the loop
count out of `hack/e2e-prepare-cluster.bats`, reads the runner class of
every job that calls the sandbox make targets, and wants the runner
strictly larger on both axes. Neither side is a hardcoded list, so
bumping `-smp`, adding a management node, or adding a fifth lane on a
smaller runner turns it red on the same commit. Memory is in there
because the same argument applies to it and `-m 24576` sits on the same
line as `-smp 8`, not because a class that violates it exists today.

It stops instead of guessing when it cannot read something, since a
guess comes out smaller than the real demand and passes a runner that
cannot hold the sandbox. Refused: a missing or non-literal `-smp` /
`-m`, a launch written outside any `@test` block or inside one left open
at end of file, a `for` opener the strict pattern does not match, a
`for` list holding anything but literal words, a `while` sharing the
block, two launches or two loops in one block, and a `runs-on` with no
`oracle-vm-<n>cpu-<m>gb` in it. Unparsed loop openers are counted
separately from parsed ones, so moving `do` to the next line is refused
rather than silently multiplied by one. There is also a cross-check that
every workflow calling the sandbox make targets yields at least one
matched job, so a renamed target turns the parser red instead of quietly
shrinking what it covers.

The derivation runs against the live tree, which passes whether or not
those refusals still work, so each one is pinned by a fixture that feeds
a synthetic file to the same program. That matters more than it sounds:
two of the refusals above exist because the first version of this file
did not have them, and a launch moved into a file-level helper would
have halved the measured demand and stayed green.

The numbers come from:

```bash
sed -n '98,107p' hack/e2e-prepare-cluster.bats    # three nodes, -smp 8, -m 24576
grep -rn 'prepare-env' .github/workflows/         # the four jobs that boot it
grep -rn 'runs-on: oracle-vm-' .github/workflows/ # their runner classes
```

The rule also goes into `docs/agents/e2e-testing.md` next to the other
environment invariants, so whoever adds the fifth lane picks its runner
class from the docs instead of from a red unit suite.

Checked that it bites, twice over. Fourteen mutations of the inputs:
reverting the runner class, `-smp 11`, a fourth and fifth management
node, `-smp cpus=8`, `-m size=24576`, `do` on the next line, `$(seq 1
3)` as the list, a `while` loop, the launch moved into a file-level
helper, renaming the make target, `ubuntu-latest`, a matrix expression
in `runs-on`, a hypothetical `32cpu-64gb` class, and a new lane on a
4-vCPU runner. Then eleven mutations of the parser itself, one per
refusal, each of which kills exactly the fixture that names it and
nothing else. Green on this tree, and the same numbers out of gawk, mawk
and BSD awk.

Closes #3831.

### Screenshots

No UI change.

### Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map against the diff. It changes one `runs-on` line
plus a comment in `.github/workflows/nightly.yaml` and adds one file
under `hack/`. The `ccp` trigger is moving or renaming something under
`hack/`, or changing what a make target does; `hack/package.mk` and
`hack/common-envs.mk` are untouched, and the new test is picked up by
the existing `hack/*.bats` wildcard without the target changing. The
`ansible-cozystack` and `talm` triggers are node prerequisites in
`hack/e2e-prepare-cluster.bats`, which this reads and does not modify.

Aleksei Sviridkin 527d4ea00f test(e2e): measure tenant worker CPU as a rate, and the sandbox nodes under it
Two instruments for the node-join failure the kubernetes-* suites keep
hitting. Neither changes what the suites assert.

The worker CPU capture now reads container_cpu_usage_seconds_total
beside the CFS counters, and reads them twice a fixed interval apart
instead of once. The throttled counters say a container met its ceiling
and cannot say how much CPU it got, which are the two candidate
explanations for a stalled worker: a guest held at a one-core ceiling,
and a guest whose vCPU thread is rarely scheduled at all. Both leave
throttled periods behind. Every counter involved accumulates from
container start, so a single reading is an average over the whole uptime
and no rate at all, and the profile under investigation is a guest that
freezes for tens of seconds and then runs flat out: the average comes
out low, the instantaneous figure comes out at the cap, and only the
second separates it from a guest that is simply capped.

The sandbox nodes are a new subject. The worker captures describe a
cgroup, so a guest that is runnable and never scheduled looks from there
like a guest that asked for nothing. Whether the sandbox node itself was
given its turn is recorded only in the steal column of its own
/proc/stat: no kubelet endpoint carries it, and crust-gather cannot
reach it because PodSecurity refuses its node-shell Pod here, so the
read goes over the Talos API, which is already how the report reaches
those nodes for dmesg. The rows are captured verbatim with their column
legend beside them rather than reduced to a percentage, because
/proc/stat has no header, steal and guest sit next to each other, and
guest is large on a node running VMs and already counted inside user.

Both subjects are read on either side of one shared wait, so the pair
pays it once. The wait is not the interval either subject's counters
span, though: each pass walks its own nodes and the other subject's pass
falls between a subject's two readings, and on the run this exists for
those passes are the slow part. Each capture therefore stamps both ends
of its read, so a rate comes from subtracting stamps rather than from
assuming the knob, and the width of those brackets is the uncertainty.
That wait is a measurement interval rather than a stand-in for a
condition nobody wrote a wait for, so the e2e conventions carve it out
by name instead of marking it as a fixed timeout to be replaced.

The pair is gated below the serial console rather than above it. Its
ceiling is sixteen bounded reads plus the interval, which is most of the
phase budget, and admission gates only when a collector may start, so
above the console a run that hit those bounds would leave the console
never started rather than merely cut short. The console is the only
capture that survives a worker which never reached apid, which is the
shape this failure usually takes. That overrun is inside the term the
budget derivation already allows for one late admission, and a guard
holds the pair's ceiling against it.

No collector here may leave an empty directory, since an empty directory
reads as a healthy node: a missing binary, a missing talosconfig, a
listing that never answered, a node with no address and a read that was
cut off each land as a named note or a COLLECTION-FAILED.txt.

Aleksei Sviridkin db2ddfab2b fix(ci): give the nightly e2e runner headroom over its guest vCPUs
The e2e sandbox boots three QEMU management nodes at `-smp 8`, so 24
guest vCPUs are committed before any tenant VM starts. The nightly lane
ran that sandbox on a 24-vCPU runner, a 1:1 commit that leaves the host
nothing for QEMU's emulation and IO threads, containerd, the kernel and
the runner agent. The tag, fork and pull-request lanes already run the
same sandbox on the 32-vCPU class, so move nightly there too.

This aligns headroom and claims no performance effect. Measured boot
data shows the load a workflow puts on the host, not the runner class,
dominates guest starvation, and the two are confounded in that data; no
red run is attributed to the class here. The case is the arithmetic: a
1:1 commit leaves no headroom, and two lanes running the identical
sandbox on different classes is drift nothing was watching.

Add hack/sandbox-runner-headroom.bats to keep the two sides paired. It
derives the guest vCPU and memory demand from the sandbox bats file, and
the runner class of every job that drives the sandbox make targets, then
requires the runner to be strictly larger on both axes. Neither side is
a literal list, so raising `-smp`, adding a management node or adding a
lane on a smaller runner turns it red instead of drifting apart
silently.

Input the derivation cannot read in full is refused rather than guessed:
a guess produces a demand smaller than the real one, which passes a
runner that cannot hold the sandbox, while a refusal names the line.
That covers a launch written outside any `@test` block, a block left
open at end of file, a `for` opener the strict pattern misses, a
non-literal loop list, and a `while` loop sharing the block.

The derivation runs against the live tree, which passes whether or not
those refusals still work, so each one is pinned by a fixture feeding a
synthetic file to the same program. Loosening the parser turns a fixture
red rather than quietly widening what the check accepts.

Record the rule alongside the other environment invariants in
docs/agents/e2e-testing.md, so a new lane picks its runner class from
the documentation rather than from a failing unit suite.

Aleksei Sviridkin b8a5b9ba1d test(e2e): capture worker CPU throttling counters on node-join failure
When a tenant worker misses the node-Ready deadline, the sandbox node
it runs on is routinely at half its capacity with a clean kernel log.
In that state "the host starved the VM" and "the VM was held at its
own CFS ceiling" produce identical evidence: node-level utilisation
reports what the node used, never what the container was allowed. The
CFS counters are the only place the difference is recorded, and
nothing in the tree collected them for the tenant workers, so every
diagnosis of this failure so far had to be inferred from outside.

Read them from the kubelet's cAdvisor endpoint on the node hosting
each worker. Five series carry the whole answer and cAdvisor publishes
all of them per container, so nothing is computed here: the scheduled
and throttled period counts, the time spent throttled, and the quota
and period that form the ceiling. The throttled counters alone say a
container hit some ceiling, not which one, and a VM capped at one core
and a VM capped at eight are the same number without the quota.

Absence of the quota series is itself a reading rather than a gap.
cAdvisor emits it only when the quota is non-zero, so a container
reporting the period and no quota is one running uncapped - which is
one of the two answers this collector exists to distinguish, arriving
without being derived.

Reading the kubelet rather than the container matters beyond
convenience. A reader running inside the container shares the cgroup
it measures, so it slows down in proportion to how much the answer
matters and would need a budget sized for the pathological case; the
kubelet is outside that cgroup. It also drops any dependency on what
the container image ships and on how the host lays cgroups out.

The namespace is not a worker filter and is not used as one: it also
holds the tenant control plane, whose apiserver and etcd carry CPU
limits of their own and can be genuinely throttled. The Pod name
carries the second half of the filter, so a throttled apiserver cannot
answer under a heading that says worker.

The walk is over nodes rather than Pods, because the endpoint is per
node and one read covers every worker it hosts. It is gated on the
diagnostics phase budget, and placed first among the five gated
collectors: the budget declines whatever has not started when it runs
out, its own ceiling is four bounded reads rather than the minutes the
four after it can spend, and it is the only one whose question has no
other answer in the tree. That order is a trade, stated here because
it is a decision rather than a detail - it puts the guest serial
console one place further from the budget, and that capture is the
only one describing a worker which never reached apid.

Both reads take the block's own read-budget knob rather than a literal
equal to it, so lowering that knob lowers these too. Each keeps its own
exit status rather than routing through the shared helper, which always
returns zero by design: this collector has to tell "the kubelet was not
read" from "the kubelet answered and carried no worker", and only the
status separates them. The stream is captured whole and filtered after,
since a pipeline reports its last command's status and would otherwise
hand that decision to grep.

Every way a read can come up short is named rather than left as zero
bytes: a kubelet that was not read, one that answered with nothing for
the namespace, a stream cut short, and exit 124 - which cannot
distinguish this collector timing out from the read exiting 124 on its
own - each get their own line, and each says whether an error log
exists to explain it.

suite name made the selection non-empty and the escalation vanished with
nothing in the output to record it: edit a platform component, adjust the
Chainsaw test beside it, and the component ran that single suite instead
of everything. Over one values.yaml per package under
packages/{apps,system,extra}, 82 of the 159 escalate on their own and
stop escalating once an unrelated suite edit joins the diff.

Coverage is now decided per changed path. Each path resolves through its
owning sources to the suites that exist, and a path reaching none of them
forces the full run whatever the rest of the diff selected. The unit is
the path rather than the source: system/postgres-operator belongs to two
PackageSources where one reaches no suite, so deciding per source would
escalate on that half and run everything for every change to it.

The escalation names its cause on stderr, as every other escalation in
this script already does. Most packages reach no suite of their own, so
this is the branch a full run usually takes; without a line saying which
sources bought it, "why did this run everything" has no answer in the log.

The walk moves into resolve_suites() to be called once per path. POSIX sh
has no `local`, so the function writes into the caller's scope and is
safe only inside the $( ) its single call site wraps it in; a test pins
that the call count stays one.

Two entries leave src_to_suites. `postgres-application` restated what
stripping the suffix produces and `external-dns` restated what carrying
the source name through produces, so both made the exception list read as
longer than the set of real exceptions.

Aleksei Sviridkin 0980e755eb fix(ci): map E2E suites from sources not named after an app
src_to_suites() covered PackageSource names ending in -application plus
external-dns, and the filter after the graph walk dropped every other
source it reached. cozystack.kuberture and cozystack.securitygroup-
controller are neither, so both were walked to and then discarded: a CNI
change ran neither of the two controller suites most likely to regress
from it, and a change to either package reached no suite at all and
escalated to the full run instead of selecting the one that covers it.

Every reached source now maps through the table. That table is the
inverse of select-install.sh's suite_to_source(), and a test walks every
suite through both, so the next source name fitting neither convention
fails there rather than quietly making its own suite unreachable.

The cilium test measured the gap rather than hid it, asserting the
19 suites the selector could reach and naming the two it could not.
The subtraction is removed rather than inverted: kept as an exclusion
list it would stay green if the walk stopped reaching them for an
unrelated reason. What replaces it is a second assertion against a tree
holding one suite the graph reaches and one no source names, which an
escalation cannot satisfy.

## What this PR does

The node-join failure diagnostics in
`hack/e2e-chainsaw/_lib/run-kubernetes.sh` issued about a dozen
`kubectl` reads with neither an outer wall-clock bound nor
`--request-timeout`, starting with a `describe nodes` through the tenant
kubeconfig. That read targets the component least likely to answer in a
node-join failure. An unbounded read there does not lose only itself: it
holds the Chainsaw op until the op is killed, so everything scheduled
after it is lost rather than truncated, the tenant crust-gather snapshot
above all.

Every read now carries the per-call bound the newer collectors on this
path already use. A read that fails or is cut off says so instead of
passing in silence, and says only what was observed, because a read that
did not finish is silence about the cluster rather than a finding about
it. The CDI importer walk gains a cap, and its listing is read on its
own so a listing that never answered cannot read as a namespace with no
importer in it.

Per-read bounds alone do not end the phase, and the collectors here can
together spend more than what is left of the op by the time they run. So
the phase is bounded as a phase: once its budget is spent, the
collectors that have not started are declined out loud. That is not a
worst case and is not written as one, but it stops the snapshot being
queued behind work begun past the deadline, which is how the snapshot
was being lost. The op ceiling is unchanged, since a larger ceiling
multiplied by a sum that grows with every collector added is the same
problem one collector later.

Because what runs last is what gets declined, the block is reordered so
the cheap reads come first. The CSR list and the signer log are the
discriminator for the failure mode a follow-up fix has to target, and
behind two minute-scale collectors they were exactly what a tight run
would drop.

Adjacent work on the same failure path, all of it in service of the same
requirement:

- the sibling scheduling-gate branch ends in the same exit and depends
on the same snapshot, so its two reads are bounded too;
- `talos_image_cache_diagnose` gets its reads bounded and its gate gets
`--ignore-not-found`, because `kubectl get` exits 1 for a refused
connection or Unauthorized as readily as for NotFound, so a call that
never reached the apiserver was being announced as a mirror that was
never deployed;
- the four numeric knobs are validated rather than only documented,
since a suffix or a leading zero on the budget reached the arithmetic in
the block's first statement and unwound the whole function before its
own headline, leaving a failing run with no diagnostics at all.

Comments carry invariants rather than arithmetic. A comment that states
a sum has to be kept true forever in every copy of it, and any edit to
the code or the order falsifies one of them. The numbers live in the
code as values and in the guard that pins them.

Relates to #3656.

### Known gaps, deliberately not closed here

Some collectors on this path carry no wall-clock bound at all. The
image-cache reachability re-probe makes seven unbounded
management-cluster calls, and the guest-Talos capture walks its VMI rows
uncapped with applies and waits bounded only by `--request-timeout`,
which bounds one HTTP request rather than a client retrying against a
wedged apiserver. The phase budget stops them being started late; it
does not stop one running long once admitted. They are pre-existing and
tracked in #3666. Bounding the re-probe in particular would change when
the same function gives up on the happy path, and so which image factory
tenant workers use, which is not a diagnostic's decision to make.

Named improvements left for later, none of them regressions introduced
here:

- the phase deadline is stamped at block entry rather than against what
is left of the op, so a long bringup still narrows the room the
derivation assumes;
- `bringup` and `largest` are literals in the guard, so a collector
heavier than today's will not move them, and the margin is small by
design;
- the integer-knob validator now exists in four places in this tree, and
a shared `_lib` file sourced ahead of both libraries would collapse two
of them;
- the per-request bound equals the wall-clock bound, so both deadlines
fire together and which of the two notes appears is a race;
- the ordered list in the chainsaw comments omits the ungated wedge
check, which runs first;
- section letters no longer sort after the reorder, and the
comment-to-code ratio in the touched block is high.

### Testing

`hack/run-kubernetes-node-join_test.bats` is new: 22 cases driving the
block with a `kubectl` stub that hangs, refuses and answers in part, and
a `timeout` stub that fails any read not wrapped in the bounding idiom.
It pins that no read escapes a bound, that a cut-off read is named
rather than reported as an empty cluster, that the walk cap reports both
counts, that a failed listing is not reported as no importers, that the
phase declines the rest out loud, that a malformed knob falls back and
says so, that the block returns zero so the caller keeps its `exit 1`,
and the source order that keeps the discriminating reads ahead of the
expensive collectors. Every one was checked by mutation against the
unfixed shape.

## What this PR does

Five things in the e2e tooling said something the code no longer does,
or did not say it at all. All five are prose; no executable line
changes.

`docs/agents/e2e-testing.md` section 8 described two of the three
on-failure capture legs. The missing one is
`hack/e2e-capture-dataplane.sh`, the only leg that reads forwarding
state off the node rather than object state, and the only one whose two
callers bound it differently, 600s from the BATS runner and 300s from
the Chainsaw catch. That split is what decides whether something added
to it fits, so a contributor who reads the document and not the script
sizes a change against the wrong budget. Its notes contract is described
with the carve-out the script declares itself: the two EndpointSlice
reads in the LoadBalancer path report nothing either way, so a `<none>`
backend line there is the one place a reader still cannot tell an
endpointless Service from a read that never answered.

The same section said the runner's captures serve "the BATS tests" in
two places. They serve the e2e ones. The runner keys on an `e2e-`
prefix, on the suite's own filename or on its parent directory, because
all three legs read cluster state and a unit runner has `kubectl` on
PATH with no cluster behind it. The legs are not gated alike either, so
the sentence says which fired where: two key on `kubectl`, and the
snapshot leg keys on `crust-gather` being installed, which on a unit
runner it usually is not.

Two numbers in the capture-gate rationale in `hack/cozytest.sh` no
longer described the code. The snapshot leg's cost was given as 360s,
the deadline passed to `timeout`; the leg is invoked as `timeout -k 30
360`, so the trap waits out 390s, which is what the comment forty lines
below and the op-budget arithmetic in `.chainsaw.yaml` already said. And
the data-plane leg was still described as having no bound on its first
pod list, and billed at the full 600s on that basis, after that read was
given a 28s ceiling.

Two files enumerated the BATS suites and both stopped one short. The
global catch in `hack/e2e-chainsaw/.chainsaw.yaml` said the runner it
names as its analog "only covers the BATS install/openapi tests", and
`hack/e2e-chainsaw/README.md` named the same two files. Both miss
`hack/e2e-prepare-cluster.bats`, which `packages/core/testing/Makefile`
drives through that runner, and which is the suite whose failures leave
the sandbox in the state hardest to reconstruct afterwards.
`docs/agents/e2e-testing.md` already listed all three, so the tree
disagreed with itself depending on which file you opened.

A comment in `hack/e2e-install-cozystack.bats` pointed at
`hack/e2e-apps/run-kubernetes.sh`, which does not exist; that directory
holds two monitoring suites and no runner. The readiness gate it means
is the `rollout status` wait in
`hack/e2e-chainsaw/_lib/talos-image-cache.sh`, along with both fallbacks
to the public factory.

relates to #3626 and #3642

Aleksei Sviridkin 06078359d0 docs(e2e): record the phase-budget pattern beside its rule
The e2e guide tells a collector author to size the op timeout above the
sum of
the inner budgets and let the inner ones fire. That works while the sum
is
something an op timeout can sit above, and on the tenant-Kubernetes
node-join
path it no longer is: the terms run past the 50m op on their own, and
several
of the reads there carry only --request-timeout, which bounds one HTTP
request
rather than a client retrying against a wedged apiserver, so parts of
that
path have no ceiling to add up at all.

Left as it stood, the next collector author follows the documented rule
and
adds a bounded read to a sum that already does not fit. So the
phase-budget
pattern goes next to it, with the two properties that are easy to get
wrong:
the budget bounds when a collector may start rather than when the phase
ends,
so it is not a worst case and the comment beside it must not claim to be
one;
and because what runs last is what gets declined, source order decides
which
evidence survives a tight run.

Aleksei Sviridkin 9a0c8c75f3 fix(ci): close the silent-green gaps in e2e selection and the helm unit sweep (#3670)
## What this PR does

Four fixes in e2e test selection and the helm unit sweep. Relates to
#3650 #3652 #3655 #3646.

select-e2e built both dependency indexes as `$(build_owners_index | sort
-u)`, so it read sort's exit status and never yq's (#3650). A broken yq
left the index empty, every path fell through to escalation, and CI ran
the full suite on every PR. The output was identical to "no owners
matched", so it looked like the conservatism the selector is supposed to
apply.

The suite list one line up had the same shape and a worse result.
`$(find ... | sed | sort)` reports sort, never find, and errors went to
/dev/null. Every escalation prints that list, so a failed find made
"escalate to the full suite" emit a blank line, which both e2e lanes
read as "skip Chainsaw" before posting `E2E Tests` green. The outcome
that means run everything delivered a run of nothing.

find is not the only way to get an empty list, and the escalations are
not its only reader, so the check sits where the list is built. The
`examples/backups/<app>/` rule escalates nothing and still
membership-tests against that list: with it empty, an edit to a backup
harness that should run its suite reports nothing to run, on a path no
escalation-side guard would ever see. An empty list is a broken
enumeration, so the script refuses to answer at all. Both lanes run the
step under `bash -e`, so the non-zero exit fails the job. I checked both
workflows: neither overrides `shell:`, both capture the selector as a
plain assignment.

Fourteen tests used `[ "$(echo "$output" | wc -w)" -gt 5 ]` to mean
"everything was selected" (#3652). There are 21 suites, so that passes
on any six, and partial escalation stayed green. They compare against
the whole list now, derived the way the script's own full-suite branch
derives it. Drop one suite from that branch and thirteen of them go red.
All thirteen passed under the threshold.

The fourteenth is the cilium case, and equality shows it was never a
full-suite path at all. It resolves through the dependency graph, which
reaches 19 of the 21 suites. The two it misses are kuberture and
securitygroup, whose sources are not `*-application`, and the mapping
covers only those plus external-dns by name. Both controllers declare
`cozystack.networking`, so a CNI change that breaks either one runs
neither suite. That gap is #3665. The test is renamed for what it
measures and pins the 19, so closing #3665 turns it red at the right
moment.

Editing `hack/e2e-chainsaw/backup/chainsaw-test.yaml.disabled` selected
the full suite (#3655). The suffix was ignored when deriving the suite
name, the intersection against existing suites emptied, and the
empty-selection safety net escalated. A disabled suite runs nowhere, so
its edits are the one file class that cannot regress a test, and they
were buying the most expensive outcome the selector has.

The selector now has a fourth outcome, a failed step rather than a
selection, so the contract enumerations in the script header, in
`docs/agents/e2e-testing.md` and in both workflow comments say so.

The helm unit sweep never visited `packages/tests` (#3646).
cozy-lib-tests, the whole test coverage for a helper library that 34
charts consume by symlink, ran only because
`packages/library/cozy-lib/Makefile` delegates its `test` target to it.
Remove that one line and the suite goes from one execution to zero with
the sweep still exiting 0 and still printing "All Helm unit tests
passed". Every check the sweep makes runs inside a directory the loop
already reached, so a package that never enters the loop takes all of
them with it, and what is left is `tests_found`, which counts suites
across the whole run rather than per package. The directory is on the
list now: 76 executed suites become 77, at 0.1s to 0.3s over six runs
against a sweep of roughly 31 seconds. The delegation stays for `make -C
packages/library/cozy-lib test` ergonomics, so the suite runs twice.
Neither run is load-bearing alone.

### Testing

`hack/select-e2e_test.bats` goes from 27 tests to 32,
`hack/helm-unit-tests.bats` is new. Each commit is green on its own: 27,
30, 32, 32.

The new tests stub the failing component and assert the exit status plus
the line naming what broke: a broken yq, a broken find, an empty suite
list across all three diff classes, the disabled-suite path, and a guard
that the disabled rule drops only that path and not the rest of the
diff. The yq test asserts exit 0 on purpose. A missing dependency graph
still has a correct answer, the full suite, and a missing suite list
does not. Pinning both halves keeps the header and the docs from
drifting into claiming otherwise.

Two suites fail on my macOS box and fail identically at `origin/main`,
so neither comes from this branch:
`hack/migration-seaweedfs-db-adopt.bats`, where a container running as
the host UID cannot write the bind-mounted temp dir under Colima, and
`hack/seaweedfs-naming-audit.bats`, which I confirmed red at the merge
base but did not dig into. Every other `hack/*.bats` was run
individually and is green. `make unit-tests` stops at the first failing
file and both of those sort ahead of `select-e2e_test.bats`, so on macOS
the suites this PR touches have to be run directly.

### Named improvements, not done here

- The `.disabled` rule keys on the file rather than the parked
directory, so it is both wider and narrower than the property it wants.
A support file under `hack/e2e-chainsaw/backup/` still buys a full run,
and a `.disabled` file dropped inside a live suite directory now selects
nothing where it used to select that suite. The property covering both
is one level up: a suite directory holding no live `chainsaw-test.yaml`
is inert, testable with the same `grep -Fxq` membership check the
`examples/backups/*/*` arm already uses. It is not a free win, since a
half-written suite directory escalates today and would then select
nothing. A cheaper half step is narrowing the glob to
`hack/e2e-chainsaw/*/chainsaw-test.yaml*.disabled`, because case globs
cross `/` and the shipped pattern also matches nested paths.
- `packages/tests/**` is not classified by the selector and reaches the
full suite through the unclassified fall-through instead of a rule.
Tracked in #3667.
- `full_suite_list()` in the bats file cannot fail. cozytest.sh's awk
rewrites a lone `}` into `return 0; }`, so a broken find inside the
helper would return an empty expected set instead of a red test. Nothing
false can pass today, because the script hard-fails on an empty suite
list before any assert runs, but that helper is what every equality
assert measures against.
- The yq check runs before the changed-file list is read, so with a
broken graph even a docs-only diff escalates. Measured: a broken yq plus
a `docs/x.md` diff returns 21 suites at head against 0 at the merge
base. Only reachable in an already broken state, but the graph is
consulted at the component lookup and in the closure walk, so moving the
check to first use would charge nothing to docs, dashboards and
inert-meta diffs.

### Screenshots

No UI changes.

### Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map in `docs/agents/contributing.md` file by file
against the diff: four files under `hack/`, one under `docs/agents/`,
and comments in the two e2e workflows. Nothing under `hack/` was moved
or renamed and no make-target contract changed, so the ccp entry does

neither of which is in the diff. The node prerequisites in
`hack/e2e-prepare-cluster.bats` that ansible-cozystack mirrors by hand

is internal contributor documentation, not a website source. No package
was added, renamed or removed, and no `values.schema.json` or version
enum changed, so the website and provider entries do not fire either.

### Release note

```release-note
fix(ci): select-e2e no longer reports an empty selection when it cannot enumerate the Chainsaw suites, which made an escalation to the full suite indistinguishable from "skip Chainsaw" and left the E2E gate green with nothing run. A failure to list the suites is now named on stderr and fails the step, a yq failure is named and still escalates to the full suite, and an edit to a disabled Chainsaw suite is inert instead of escalating to a full run.
```

## What this PR does

The ban on EXIT-trap cleanup in `hack/*.bats` was enforced by two lists
inside `hack/cozyreport.bats`: one naming the files known to be clean,
one freezing an exact trap count for each file that was not. Both had to
be edited from whatever change moved them, and that is where the guard
kept failing.

It is worth being exact about how badly, because the history is sharper
than "it went stale a few times". **The inventory was never correct on
main for a single commit.** It landed in #3567 at 15:25:20. #3195 had
landed `multus-install-cni-plugins.bats` carrying twelve traps at
15:24:37, forty-three seconds earlier. Replaying the old guard's own
logic against the tree at the very commit that introduced it already
gives `found != frozen`. Main then stayed red for roughly twenty-two and
three quarter hours. The first repair, #3584, landed *already red* the
next morning at 10:42:43, because #3548 had brought in
`run-kubernetes-talos-diagnostics_test.bats` with eight traps at
10:40:03, under three minutes ahead of it. That fix was correct and
bought zero green time. Green arrived only with the second repair,
#3602.

Neither pair of PRs shared a line, and each was green against its own
base. That is the whole mechanism, and it is why a third one-line repair
is not the answer.

The mechanism is structural rather than careless. A change that adds a
trap to its own file had to edit a string in a suite it otherwise never
touches, so two changes sharing no line still invalidated each other:
each stayed green against its own base, git merged both cleanly, and the
guard went red only once the second one landed. A file *arriving* with
traps was worse still, because nothing in its author's diff pointed at
that string at all. That is exactly how
`run-kubernetes-talos-diagnostics_test.bats` got in, twice.

That contention is not in the past tense. Two open PRs are editing that
one line right now, and they disagree about what it should say: #3575
adds `run-kubernetes-talos-diagnostics_test.bats=8` to it, repeating a
repair that has already landed, and #3441 removes
`select-e2e_test.bats=15` from it, because it converts that file.
Neither PR is about EXIT traps. Both have to touch that string anyway,
and whichever lands second is wrong until someone edits it again.

So this PR is not fixing a red main. It removes the thing that keeps
making main red, which is why it is worth more than the one-line fix
that is now the established habit.

One honest caveat about its own landing. The textual-conflict property
is steady-state: a branch forked *before* the declaration exists has no
line to disagree with, so it converts traps in its own file, merges
clean, and the count only goes wrong once both sides are on main. I
checked this against #3441, which takes `select-e2e_test.bats` from
fifteen traps to zero. Merged after this, that file would declare
fifteen and hold none. What the move buys even in that case is that the
red names a file the branch already edited, the repair is one line
inside it, and rebasing before merge catches it on the branch's own CI.
None of those three held against the central inventory. Whoever merges
this should expect one such adjustment on the conversion branches still
in flight.

So this replaces both lists with a declaration each file makes about
itself: one `# EXIT-TRAP DEBT: N` comment in its leading comment block.
A file carrying no declaration must install no EXIT trap. Growing or
shedding a trap now fails in the file the change already edits, so two
changes that disagree about a count get a real textual conflict instead
of silently invalidating each other, and a change that leaves the traps
alone edits nothing.

**The include list is redundant, not lost.** It named the files proven
clean, so that a trap reappearing in one of them would fail. Under the
new rule those files carry no declaration, and a file with no
declaration must hold zero traps, so a trap reappearing in any of them
fails on its own, with no list to be on. Coverage widens rather than
narrows: the two lists named twenty files between them, and the rule
covers all fifty bats files under `hack/`, subdirectories included, plus
the ones added tomorrow.

Rebasing this branch onto current main is the property working. Main has
since gained `hack/kubernetes-pre-delete-hook.bats` and
`hack/tenant-pre-delete-hook.bats`, and `hack/cozyreport.bats` grew by
some eight hundred lines. Neither new file installs an EXIT trap, so
neither needed a declaration and neither needed an edit here; the rebase
took no conflict at all. Under the inventory, each arriving file was a
coin toss on whether somebody had remembered the string.

To be precise about what the inventory could and could not do, since it
is easy to overstate: it did *notice* a new file carrying traps. The
string it compared was built by scanning the directory, so an arriving
file appended a token and failed the comparison, which is exactly how
main went red. What it could not do is let that file arrive without an
edit in a foreign suite. Being seen and being absorbable are different
properties, and only the second one decides whether two changes can land
independently.

The declaration is pinned in both directions. Declaring N while holding
N+1 fails, obviously; declaring N while holding N−1 fails too. Without
that second half the number becomes a ceiling and rots upward: somebody
converts half a file, the declaration stays, and the guard quietly
licenses traps that were removed long ago.

It is read only from the leading comment block, under the shebang and
above the first line of code. A `.bats` file is shell that writes shell,
so the same line turns up inside a heredoc, a fixture writer or an
expected-output string, where it is data belonging to one test;
honouring it there would let an unrelated fixture excuse a real trap,
silently, with nothing in that test's own diff looking like a
declaration. A comment block is the region with no interior; stopping
instead at the first `@test` would still read a line out of a helper's
heredoc.

Not every counted handler is debt. A trap inside an explicit subshell
does not replace the one the `bats` binary installs, so a test failing
inside `( … )` still prints its `not ok`, checked against a test-level
trap in the same file, where the TAP line vanishes.
`hack/e2e-test-openapi.bats` kills a backgrounded `kubectl proxy`
exactly that way, and "convert it like the others" would leak a process
holding a fixed port and wedge the next run. Its declaration now records
the carve-out instead of scheduling a conversion, and because the
ratchet is exact in both directions, *removing* that trap fails too, so
the count protects the construct rather than marking it for deletion.
`docs/agents/e2e-testing.md` previously scoped this exception to
Chainsaw `script` steps only; it now names the BATS subshell case as
well.

The counting bounds the keyword and the signal the same way, at any
character that cannot be part of an identifier, and matches the signal
in either case. Whitespace on the right missed `trap … EXIT; cd "$tmp"`;
whitespace on the left missed `tmp=$(mktemp -d);trap … EXIT` and `(trap
… EXIT; true)`; upper case missed `trap … exit`, which bash and dash
both install. All of those are real handlers that scored zero. The left
boundary is the one worth dwelling on, because the inventory being
replaced had none at all and *did* catch the semicolon form. Getting it
wrong here would have narrowed coverage while the commit claimed to
widen it. A plain word boundary is not enough either: `bootstrap ` ends
in `trap `, and it has to keep scoring nothing, or the documented answer
to a red guard (add a debt line) would buy a file a permanent licence
for one real trap to silence a line that has none.

Two handlers sharing one line are reported rather than counted, because
the count is a count of lines and the second would otherwise arrive
free. Splitting such a line properly needs a shell parser, since a
semicolon inside a handler's own quoted action is not a separator, and
guessing wrong undercounts, the one direction a ratchet cannot afford.

**What this does not fix.** The declaration is still a loophole: a new
file can write `# EXIT-TRAP DEBT: 8` instead of cleaning up, and nothing
here makes that impossible. What changes is that the admission is local
and visible. It sits at the top of the file it excuses, in front of
whoever reviews that file, instead of being a number in a neighbouring
suite nobody in that review is reading. Today's loophole is the same
size and invisible.

Three more limits, all stated in the guard's own header rather than left
to be discovered. The scan is lexical, so a signal computed at runtime
and a quoted action spanning physical lines without a backslash are both
invisible. An exact count catches addition and removal but never
substitution: swap the openapi file's subshell trap for a test-level one
and the total stays 1. And the scan reads `.bats` only, so a handler
arriving through a sourced `.sh` is outside it.
`hack/e2e-chainsaw/_lib/run-kubernetes.sh` installs two right now, and
each is benign for its own reason rather than by design: the one in
`cozy_capture_tenant_talos` because that function is declared with `(`
and so runs in a subshell, the one in `run_kubernetes_test` because no
`@test` calls it despite being declared with `{`. Three `hack/*.bats`
source that library, and two tests in the converted file call
`cozy_capture_tenant_talos`, so flipping a single `(` to `{` reinstates
a test-level handler in both of them with the guard green. Widening the
scan to `.sh` would mean counting handlers that are correct in a script
and wrong only in a test body, so the honest answer is that this is
where the instrument stops.

Three further boundaries, recorded here so they land as known edges
rather than as surprises. The old include list also failed when a file
named on it disappeared from the tree; the new rule can only judge a
file that is present, so a deleted converted file goes unnoticed. That
is a genuinely smaller check, though its absence shows up in the diff
that deletes the file. The guard's own failure messages are code lines,
so they are scanned by the pattern they belong to: they pass today only
because no bare `EXIT` or `0` happens to follow the keyword in any of
them, and a rewording that introduced one would make the file demand a
debt of itself. It fails loudly rather than quietly, and the fixture
writers and test titles already split the keyword from the signal for
this reason, but the messages do not. Finally,
`docs/agents/e2e-testing.md` bans test-level `EXIT` *and* `RETURN`
traps, while every mechanical guard this repo has had, the one being
deleted included, matches only `EXIT` and `0`. `hack/` holds no RETURN
trap today, so nothing regresses here, but half of that documented rule
has never had an executor.

The guard moves out of `hack/cozyreport.bats` into
`hack/bats-no-exit-trap.bats`, because its subject is every unit suite
under `hack/` and not the report collector it grew up in. Living inside
`cozyreport.bats` is precisely why unrelated PRs kept converging on one
line. `hack/md-no-hardwrap.bats` is the neighbouring precedent.

Separately, the eight EXIT traps in
`hack/run-kubernetes-talos-diagnostics_test.bats` are converted to
end-of-body cleanup rather than given a declaration. That file was
written six weeks after the ban was documented, so "it predates the
rule" is not available to it, and handing it a debt is literally the
move that failed the last two times. The remaining files keep their
declarations, since a mass conversion would collide with the branches
that own them.

One note on where the prose sits. The guard's own header carries only
what a reader has to keep true: why the ban exists, the two carve-outs,
where the declaration lives and why there, that the count is exact in
both directions, why the marker is anchored at column zero, and where
the lexical scan stops. Everything above about *how* the inventory
failed (the timestamps, the PR numbers, the arithmetic) is deliberately
not in the file. It is true today and will rot on its own; a comment
nobody is obliged to maintain is how a file grows a paragraph that is
quietly false.

### 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.

Aleksei Sviridkin 1abc653cfb fix(ci): treat a disabled chainsaw suite as inert in test selection
Editing hack/e2e-chainsaw/backup/chainsaw-test.yaml.disabled selects the
whole Chainsaw suite. The per-suite rule reads the suite name off the
directory and ignores the suffix, so the change selects "backup"; the
final intersection against the suites that actually exist finds no such
suite and empties; and the safety net for an empty selection escalates to
the full run.

A disabled suite is registered nowhere and executed by nothing, which
makes its edits the one file class that provably cannot regress a test.
The mapping had it backwards: they bought the most expensive outcome the
selector has. Rare in practice, and paid on every commit by anyone
grooming or re-enabling such a suite.

Classify *.disabled as inert ahead of the per-suite rule, and record it
alongside the other rules that select nothing so the header stays an
accurate enumeration. The safety net keeps its job for paths no rule has
looked at, which is what it was added for.

Aleksei Sviridkin 37a395363f fix(ci): stop select-e2e from deciding on inputs it never checked
Three holes on the same seam: the script builds a list, never looks at
whether the command that built it succeeded, and then decides from the
empty result.

The dependency indexes are built as `$(build_owners_index | sort -u)`,
where the function is a single yq. A pipeline carries the status of its
last command, so the script sees sort's zero and `set -e` never fires: a
missing binary or a malformed source leaves the index empty, every changed
path falls through to escalation, and CI runs the full Chainsaw suite on
every pull request. The direction is safe and that is the problem — an
empty index and "no owners matched" print the same thing, so the symptom
is a full run, which reads as the conservatism the selector is supposed to
apply. Selection can stay switched off indefinitely with nobody signalled.
Check each half's status on its own and name yq once on stderr before
taking the fallback the empty index would have reached anyway.

The suite list one line up has the identical shape and a worse
consequence: `$(find ... | sed | sort)` reports sort, never find, and
errors went to /dev/null. That list is what every escalation prints. So a
find that failed produced an empty list, and "escalate to the full suite"
then emitted a blank line — which both e2e lanes read as "skip Chainsaw"
before posting the required "E2E Tests" status green. The one outcome that
means run everything delivered a run of nothing, on the pull request that
earned a full run. Capture find on its own, check it, let its errors
through.

A failing find is not the only way to end up with an empty list, and the
escalations are not its only reader, so the check sits once where the list
is built. The examples/backups/<app>/ rule escalates nothing and still
membership-tests against that list: with it empty the test fails, the app
is not selected, and an edit to a backup harness that should run its suite
reports nothing to run — output identical to a legitimately empty
selection, on a path no escalation guard would ever see. An empty list is
a broken enumeration, a moved directory or a wrong working directory, not
a project without tests. Refuse to answer at all. Both lanes run the step
under `bash -e`, so a non-zero exit fails the job rather than falling
through to the empty selection this is here to prevent.

Each is covered by a test that stubs the failing component and asserts
both the exit status and that the script names what broke.

Aleksei Sviridkin 5728eca401 docs(e2e): name the data-plane collector and who gets the captures
Section 8 described two of the three on-failure capture legs and not
the third, so the collector that reads forwarding state off the node
was absent from the one document that tells a contributor what
diagnostics exist. It is also the leg whose two callers disagree about
its budget, 600s from the BATS runner and 300s from the Chainsaw
catch, which is what decides whether something added to it fits.

Its notes contract is described with the carve-out the script itself
declares: the two EndpointSlice reads in the LoadBalancer path report
nothing either way, so a <none> backend line there is the one place a
reader still cannot tell an endpointless Service from a read that
never answered. Stating the contract without it would have promised
the distinction on the path this collector exists to diagnose.

The prose also still said the runner's captures serve "the BATS
tests". They serve the e2e ones: the runner keys on an e2e- prefix,
on the suite's filename or on its parent directory, because all three
legs read cluster state and a unit runner has kubectl on PATH with no
cluster behind it. Said once where the captures are introduced, and
the two phrases that over-claimed now name the e2e suites.

The legs are not gated alike, so the sentence says which fired where:
two key on kubectl, and the snapshot leg keys on crust-gather being
installed, which on a unit runner it usually is not.

Aleksei Sviridkin 8e273a7341 docs(ci): record what escalating on the non-PR workflows costs
Three of the four workflows on the escalation list cannot be exercised
by the run they trigger. `e2e-fork` runs on `workflow_run`, which always
takes the default-branch copy; `e2e-tag` runs on `workflow_call` from a
tag push; `nightly` runs on a schedule. Only `pull-requests.yaml` is
executed from the pull request's own head, so only there does escalating
test the edit rather than the tree around it.

That argument existed in the reference doc and was removed by this
branch rather than answered, and the list it argued against is what
replaced it. Measured over six months of main, 26 commits touch one of
the three with no other escalating path; each now pays a full Chainsaw
run it used to skip, on a suite whose flake rate is the reason people
avoid running it for nothing.

Keeping them is defensible: the rule stays one idea rather than two, and
dropping them leaves those files inert, which reads as an oversight
rather than a decision. What was not defensible was paying it silently.
The trade now sits next to the pattern that makes it, with the number,
so the next person weighing it starts from measurement instead of
rediscovering the mechanism. The reference doc points there rather than
carrying its own copy.

Aleksei Sviridkin 55f3c79e9f docs(ci): stop pointing at the inert list for paths it does not hold
Four places said an empty selection means the inert pattern matched, and
sent the reader to `inert_config_pattern` to see which paths those are.
Documentation, dashboards and `*.md` are dropped before that pattern is
ever consulted, and a backups example whose app has no suite is dropped
where backup examples are matched. A reader checking the pattern for any
of them finds nothing and has to reconstruct the order by reading the
script. Name the rules that produce an empty selection instead, and keep
the claim to the one the lanes rely on: empty is a decision some rule
reached, not a path nothing looked at.

The same bullet claimed every path is classified. One is not. The inert
pattern makes `.github/` inert as a whole directory and the workflows
that run the suite are exempted from it by name, so a workflow added
under `.github/workflows/` reads as inert and the fall-through never
sees it. Today's enumeration is correct and I checked it against `rg -l
test-chainsaw`, so this is not a live hole, but the sentence saying it
cannot exist is what makes the reminder next to that list look
decorative. Record it as the guard it is.

Separately, the fork lane's rationale for appending a newline described
a mechanism this branch removes: the reader now guards its own loop, so
the terminator is no longer what keeps the last path alive. Say that it
is now the text-file contract and a second line of defence across two
files, which is a reason to keep it and a different reason than the one
written there.

Myasnikov Daniil ae4e9e55cb fix(ci): classify every TIA path and escalate the unclassified
`select-e2e.sh` silently selected nothing for a changed path it did not
recognise outside `packages/`. Both e2e lanes read an empty selection as
"skip Chainsaw" and then post the required "E2E Tests" status green, so
an unrecognised path produced a green merge gate with no suite run. The
worked example is `hack/common-envs.mk`, which supplies the tag, push
and output flags of every image in the tree and matched nothing:
`full_suite_pattern` covered `hack/*.sh` and `hack/*.bats` but not
`hack/*.mk`. `pkg/`, `tools/`, `go.mod`, `hack/lib/` and
`hack/buildkitd.toml` were in the same position, as was
`.github/workflows/e2e-fork.yaml` while `pull-requests.yaml` was
already escalated.

A blanket "empty means full suite" fallback would be the wrong fix: it
escalates the inert paths the design deliberately skips. Instead every
path now lands in one of three classes by an explicit rule — the
full-suite list for shared build inputs and the e2e harness, an inert
list for paths that cannot affect what e2e exercises, and the
PackageSource graph for `packages/(apps|system|extra)/`. A path
matching none of them escalates and logs why, so the next path someone
adds fails safe instead of failing open.

The two lists are checked in that order, so a specific escalation beats
a broad inert directory: `.github/` is inert, the workflows that run
the suite are not. `*.md` and `docs/`/`dashboards/` stay ahead of both,
so a README under `packages/core/` does not inherit that tree's
escalation.

Ten tests cover both sides of the classification. Mutation-checked:
reverting the fall-through fails the unclassified-path test, dropping
`.github/` from the inert list fails the non-e2e-workflow test, and
swapping the two list checks fails the existing pull-requests.yaml
test. Note the per-entry escalations are belt-and-braces — removing
`hack/*.mk` from the pattern still escalates via the fall-through,
which is the point of having it.

Closes #3392

myasnikovdaniil 7dca642894 fix(ci): restore e2e for fork PRs and close the merge-gate bypass (#3262)
## What this PR does

Fixes #3257 — fork PRs never ran e2e, and the skipped required check let
them merge anyway.

Fork PRs get no secrets on `pull_request`, so `make image` pushed
anonymously and died with `denied`. That failed every build, collapsed
the `build → finalize → e2e` chain, and left the required **E2E Tests**
job *skipped* — which branch protection treats as satisfied, so an
approved fork PR could merge with e2e never having run.

This implements **Option A** from the issue (privileged `workflow_run`
split), pushing fork e2e images to the existing CI registry (OCIR):

**Build primitive (`hack/common-envs.mk`)**
- New `OCI_EXPORT_DIR` mode: build each image to a per-image OCI archive
instead of pushing, and force `PUSH`/`LOAD` off. The digest is captured
via `--metadata-file` regardless of output type, so the refs baked into
`pr.patch` match what the privileged run later pushes. Threaded through
the `image-tags` macro every package already uses — no per-package
Makefile change.

**`pull-requests.yaml` (unprivileged, fork branch)**
- `build` / `build-talos` / `finalize` export images to OCI archives and
upload them as artifacts instead of pushing → the red `denied` build
wall disappears and the chain no longer collapses.
- The in-tree e2e job is renamed off `"E2E Tests"` and guarded to
same-repo PRs. A new `e2e-report` job concludes the required `"E2E
Tests"` context as an **explicit check-run** (success on a docs-only PR
or when e2e passed, failure otherwise). A skipped job can no longer
satisfy the required check — this also closes the same hole for
same-repo PRs whose build fails.

**`e2e-fork.yaml` (new, privileged `workflow_run` from the default
branch)**
- Resolves the fork PR, opens a pending `"E2E Tests"` check-run, and
fails-closed if the fork build failed.
- Pushes the pre-built image archives to OCIR **by digest** and
flux-pushes the digest-pinned packages tree. The OCIR token is live only
for trusted binaries (`git`/`skopeo`/`flux`/`yq`) over data — never for
`make` or any fork-authored script.
- Runs the e2e suite against the pushed closure with **no push token**
and concludes the check-run on the PR head SHA.

Fork build code never receives registry credentials; the fork's images
and test scripts run only in the credential-less, ephemeral e2e job — a
stronger posture than a `pull_request_target` run that would hand fork
code the secrets directly.

### Validation

Local: buildx OCI-archive output + digest capture, macro expansion for
single- and multi-image packages, non-fork push path unchanged,
`actionlint` clean.

Needs live validation (why this is a **draft**): `workflow_run` artifact
download across runs; that the `"E2E Tests"` commit status satisfies the
required context and keeps a fork PR non-mergeable until the privileged
run concludes it; `refs/pull/<N>/merge` fetch + `git apply --3way`;
`skopeo --preserve-digests` end-to-end. `workflow_run` only runs from
the default branch, so the privileged half is exercised by mirroring the
workflow onto a personal fork's default branch and opening a throwaway
fork PR into it — not by merging first.

_Since review_: the fork `e2e` job ran the pre-#2826 BATS app loop that
the merged Chainsaw migration deleted (already broken); it now runs the
same Chainsaw + TIA path as the in-tree job, with suite selection and
the `full-e2e` override sourced from `resolve`'s trusted base-repo file
list / labels (not a merge-ref diff). Publish job hardened per the
non-blocking follow-ups: base-tree image allowlist, `skopeo copy --all`,
pinned flux CLI. The required `E2E Tests` gate is now published as a
commit **status** (default token + `statuses:write`), not a COZYSTACK_CI
app check-run — the app lacked `checks:write` (`checks.create` 403'd)
and a default-token check-run floated under a labeler suite; a commit
status has neither problem, and forks can't post one (their
`pull_request` token is read-only). Two review-bot findings fixed too:
fork `OCI_EXPORT_DIR` is now absolute (a relative path misplaced
archives under `make -C <pkg>` and every fork build would fail at
upload), and the "≥1 archive" guard no longer no-ops under `nullglob`.

### Repo-admin prerequisites

One repository setting lives outside this diff:

1. **Branch protection: keep `E2E Tests` required.** The gate is now a
commit **status** named `E2E Tests` (posted with the default
`GITHUB_TOKEN` — see `docs/agents/e2e-testing.md` §10), not a job or an
app check-run. Branch protection already requires `E2E Tests` (currently
the e2e job's name, renamed here to `E2E (in-tree)`), so the required
context now resolves to the status — **no GitHub App, no `checks:write`
grant, no app-id pin needed**. Just don't pin the context to a specific
app.
2. **Actions → "Require approval for all outside collaborators".** Each
fork run must be a deliberate maintainer click before it executes, since
the fork's unprivileged run produces the artifacts the privileged
`e2e-fork.yaml` consumes.

### Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map in `docs/agents/contributing.md` against the diff
(7 files: two CI workflows, `docs/agents/e2e-testing.md`,
`hack/common-envs.mk` + its bats suite, and two package `Makefile`s).

The one trigger worth naming is "change developer tooling
(`cozyvalues-gen`, `cozypkg`, the package `Makefile`s) →
`development.md`" on the website. It does not fire here:
`OCI_EXPORT_DIR` is a CI-only build mode that defaults off, and the
local developer workflow is unchanged — `make image` still builds and
pushes exactly as before, which the new default-path case in
`hack/common-envs_test.bats` now pins. No chart values, no API surface,
no app list, no platform variant, no Talos version bump and no release
asset rename are touched.

- [x] No downstream repository is affected by this change

### Release note

Aleksei Sviridkin 806b66f25c docs(ci): stop describing a one-workflow E2E CI
Two sentences predate the second workflow and were left describing the
world before it.

The scope line at the top is the pointer AGENTS.md routes agents through
before they touch the E2E CI, and it named only the in-tree workflow. A
reader sent there to change the fork lane would not learn that the
section holding its invariants exists, which is the one thing that line
has to do. It now names both workflows and says which pull requests each
serves.

The TIA escalation list said edits to "the E2E workflows" escalate to
the full suite. That was true while there was one. The selector's list
names `pull-requests.yaml` and not `e2e-fork.yaml`, so a change touching
only the fork workflow selects nothing: the Chainsaw step is skipped,
while the platform install and the OpenAPI tests still run. Say that
plainly, and say why it is tolerable rather than pretending it is
designed. A `workflow_run` always executes the default-branch copy of
the file, so running the suite against a change to it would not exercise
that change anyway. It is the same shape as the fail-open the section
already cites.

Aleksei Sviridkin cc8b01d5cd docs(ci): say when each lane's status opener actually lands
The reference section claimed both lanes open the required context when
their run starts, and enumerated the triggers it protects against: a
re-run, a reopen, a `full-e2e` label. Every one of those starts a Pull
Request run, and on a fork that run cannot open the status at all. The
opener is guarded same-repo only, because a fork's `pull_request` token
is read-only, and the fork's opener lives in the privileged workflow,
which starts only once the unprivileged build has finished. So on the
lane the sentence was most likely to be read about, an already-green
head SHA keeps reading green for the whole build.

The gap is structural. A read-only token cannot post a status at any
point in the run, and that same read-only token is what makes publishing
the gate with the default token safe in the first place. It is bounded
by the build rather than open-ended. What was wrong was only the claim
that it does not exist.

Say so in all three places that carried the overstatement: the section
itself, the opener's own comment, and the contract test, which pins that
each lane has an opener and cannot express when it lands.

Aleksei Sviridkin 9c68b1f83e fix(ci): stop a cancelled fork run from publishing a verdict
The invariant that a cancelled run publishes nothing was written down in
three places and held in two of them.

The fork lane's terminal reporter ran under `always()`, which includes
cancellation. When a second privileged run supersedes the first, the
dying one still posted `failure` on a head SHA it no longer owned, for a
suite that never finished. It self-corrected once the superseding run
reported, but that can be two hours later, and until then a legitimate
pull request reads red. The same-repo lane was moved off `always()` for
exactly this reason. Move this one too: a failed publish or e2e still
reports, since neither is a cancellation, and a cancelled run now leaves
the `pending` it opened standing until its successor concludes.

The same-repo guard's rationale cited a scenario that no longer exists.
It described a label event cancelling the run that opened the pull
request, which the concurrency split made impossible for every label the
workflow discards. The guard is still needed, for a push, for a
`full-e2e` label superseding the head run, and for a manual cancel, so
the comment now names those instead of an extinct one.

The reference section listed the pieces this invariant rests on and
omitted the reporters, which is the half a reader is most likely to
touch, and counted them, which was already wrong and would go wrong
again on the next addition. It now enumerates without counting.

The contract pins both reporters, because both lanes have had this
defect at different times in the same shape.

Aleksei Sviridkin 8e097488c2 docs(ci): name every writer of the "E2E Tests" status, and why it opens
The section that tells the next editor to keep exactly one run per head
SHA responsible for the status listed only two of the three jobs that
write it, and described the same-repo lane as posting once at the end.
Both stopped being true when the same-repo lane gained an opener. The
section also spent a paragraph on the concurrency invariants without
saying why an opener has to exist at all, which is the part a reader
would otherwise remove as redundant.

Say that each lane opens with `pending` and concludes, that a status
never expires so the opener is what stops a re-run inheriting the
previous run's green, and that `plan`'s opener is `continue-on-error`
because every build and test job hangs off that job.

Aleksei Sviridkin fd06fb32e0 docs(ci): say what fork TIA hardening buys, and what it does not
Four comments and a documentation bullet claimed that routing the
changed-file list through the base-repo API stops a fork from making
test selection pick nothing. It does not. The `e2e` job runs from the
fork's own tree, so `hack/select-e2e.sh` is the fork's script: a PR that
edits it to print nothing gets `skip=true`, the suite step never runs,
the job succeeds and the required status goes green — the exact outcome
the paragraph presented as prevented. The same holds for the suites
under `hack/e2e-chainsaw/`, the install bats and the testing package's
recipes, all of which the fork authors and this job executes.

Hardening the inputs is still worth doing, since a merge-ref diff would
be a second bypass on top of the one that exists, so the code does not
change. What changes is the claim: the inputs are trusted, the decision
is not, and the fork lane is a correctness gate against an honest
contributor's regression rather than a boundary against a hostile fork.
State plainly what does contain a hostile fork — the maintainer
approval required before any fork run executes, the absence of any
credential in that job, and a diff editing the harness being visible in
review.

Aleksei Sviridkin 575b41e1cd test(hack): let each bats file declare the EXIT traps it still holds
The ban on EXIT-trap cleanup in hack/*.bats was enforced by two lists
inside hack/cozyreport.bats: one naming the files known to be clean, one
freezing an exact trap count for each file that was not. Both had to be
edited from whatever change moved them, and that is where the guard kept
failing. A change adding a trap to its own file had to edit a string in
a suite it otherwise never touches, so two changes sharing no line still
invalidated each other: each stayed green against its own base, git
merged both cleanly, and the guard went red only once the second landed.
A file arriving with traps hit the same wall from the other side -- the
inventory did notice it, since the string it compared was built by
scanning the directory, but absorbing it meant an edit in a file nothing
in the author's diff pointed at.

Replace both lists with a declaration each file makes about itself: one
"# EXIT-TRAP DEBT: N" comment, exact rather than a ceiling. A file
carrying none must install no EXIT trap, which covers the converted
files, the files that never had one, and every file added later.
Growing or shedding a trap now fails in the file the change already
edits, so two changes that disagree about a count collide textually
instead of silently.

The declaration is read from the leading comment block, not from
anywhere in the file. A .bats file is shell that writes shell, so the
same line turns up inside a heredoc, a fixture writer or an
expected-output string, where it is data belonging to one test. Reading
it there as a statement about the whole file would let an unrelated
fixture excuse a real trap, and would do it silently, since nothing in
that test's own diff looks like a declaration. A comment block is the
region with no interior: stopping instead at the first @test would still
read a line out of a helper's heredoc.

Not every counted handler is debt. A trap inside an explicit subshell
does not replace the bats binary's own, so a test failing inside
`( ... )` still prints its `not ok`. hack/e2e-test-openapi.bats kills a
backgrounded kubectl proxy that way, and moving the kill to the end of
the body would leak a process holding a fixed port. Its declaration
records that rather than scheduling a conversion, and because the
ratchet is exact, removing the trap fails too -- the count protects the
construct. What the count cannot do is tell the two apart: substituting
a test-level trap for the subshell one keeps the total at 1 and stays
green, which the header states rather than leaves to be found.

Counting bounds the keyword and the signal the same way, at any
character that cannot be part of an identifier, and matches the signal
in either case. Whitespace on the right missed `trap ... EXIT; cd
"$tmp"`; whitespace on the left missed `tmp=$(mktemp -d);trap ... EXIT`
and `(trap ... EXIT; true)`; upper case missed `trap ... exit`, which
bash and dash both install. All are real handlers that scored zero, and
the left boundary matters most, since the inventory being replaced had
none and caught the semicolon form. A bare word boundary is not enough
either way: `bootstrap ` ends in `trap `, and it must keep scoring
nothing. A quoted signal counts for the same reason as the rest.

Two handlers sharing one line are reported rather than counted, since
the count is a count of lines and the second would otherwise arrive
without moving the total; splitting the line properly needs a shell
parser, a semicolon inside a handler's own action not being a
separator, and guessing wrong undercounts -- the one direction a ratchet
cannot afford.

The scan recurses, so hack/e2e-apps/*.bats is covered rather than
sitting one directory below the guard that claims the tree. It reads
.bats and nothing else, so a handler arriving through a sourced .sh
stays outside it -- hack/e2e-chainsaw/_lib/run-kubernetes.sh installs
two, each benign for its own reason rather than by design: one sits in
a function declared with `(` and so runs in a subshell, the other in a
brace function no @test calls. That boundary is stated in the header
rather than papered over.

The guard moves to hack/bats-no-exit-trap.bats: its subject is every
unit suite under hack/, not the report collector it grew up in. Its
fixture helpers assemble the trap keyword and the signal from separate
arguments, because the guard scans its own source and a fixture written
as a literal would be counted as a real trap in it.

Aleksei Sviridkin e2643ef4b9 docs(ci): explain the fork image allowlist and fix a test comment
Two statements that were not true of the code next to them.

The fork `publish` job accepts only archive names it can derive from the
base parent, so a fork cannot name an artifact into an arbitrary
registry repository. The consequence is that a fork PR adding a new
image fails on `image '<name>' is not in the base-tree allowlist` with
no way to pass, and nothing said so — including the E2E section that
AGENTS.md points a reader at when a fork run fails. Record the
constraint, the exact log line, and the two ways around it, so the
failure reads as the guard working rather than as a broken PR.

The concurrency contract's comment on `code_lines` claimed a real grep
error propagates out of the helper. It does under the bats binary, and
not under `hack/cozytest.sh`, whose translator appends `return 0` to
every line that is exactly `}` — file-level helpers included — so a
helper's last command never decides its status there. Both runners
still fail closed, because each test asserts its extraction is
non-empty before comparing, so a swallowed error surfaces as empty
input rather than as a pass. Say that instead.

Aleksei Sviridkin 7c5e96947e fix(ci): stop two runs from publishing "E2E Tests" on one SHA
Giving every `labeled` event its own concurrency group stopped a
discarded label from cancelling a live run, but it also stopped a
`full-e2e` label from doing so — and that label is not discarded. `plan`
proceeds for it and `e2e-report` publishes with it, so the labelled run
and the head run it was meant to widen both post the `E2E Tests`
context, on the same head SHA, with no ordering between them.

That was a deliberate trade at the time: commit statuses are latest-wins
per context, so the reasoning went, the full-suite verdict lands last
whenever its suite finishes last, and the label is an explicit opt-in to
a longer run. This commit reverses that decision, because the premise
only holds while the full run succeeds. The full suite is the superset,
so a full-e2e run that fails early — a build flake, a suite failing at
minute twenty — finishes before the narrower head run it was meant to
widen, and that run's later green erases the failure. The required
status then reads success for a SHA whose suite did not pass. One
publisher per head SHA is worth more than the minutes of runner time a
cancelled narrow run costs.

Move aside only the label events `plan` discards, by making the
concurrency condition the exact complement of `plan`'s guard. A
`full-e2e` run stays in the main group and supersedes the head run the
way a push does, so exactly one publisher of the context is alive per
head SHA. Opting into the full suite now costs one suite instead of two,
and a second label landing afterwards can no longer cancel the full-e2e
run, because the two are no longer grouped together.

The contract test gains the complement — the group key must exclude the
publishing label rather than every label — and a check that the label
name is one and the same string in all three guards that read it, since
renaming it in one place splits the decision without touching a line
that reads load-bearing.

Aleksei Sviridkin 3c50a09457 fix(ci): keep a discarded run out of the fork e2e gate's group
The privileged fork e2e run groups by fork repo + branch with
cancel-in-progress, so every completed Pull Request run for that branch
lands in the same group -- including a run that built nothing.
Labelling an open fork PR produces exactly that: pull-requests.yaml
triggers on `labeled` and `plan` discards every label other than
full-e2e, so all jobs skip. The privileged run for that event cancels
the one that is mid-suite on the same head SHA, then `resolve`
recognises the discarded trigger and posts no status at all. The
required "E2E Tests" context is a commit status, so the head SHA is
left at "Expected" with nothing left to flip it -- the run that
replaced the owner is the very one that decided to stay silent -- and
the PR stays unmergeable until the contributor pushes again.

Key the group by the triggering run's id when that run concluded
`cancelled` or `skipped`, so a run that will post nothing can cancel
only itself. Real runs keep superseding each other on fork repo +
branch.

The contract test ties the conclusions in the key to the ones `resolve`
stays silent for. Those two lists sit in different languages in
different halves of the file, and a third conclusion added to the guard
alone would restore the wedge without touching a line a reviewer reads
as load-bearing.

Aleksei Sviridkin 7e2db4da7e fix(e2e): bound every remaining read in the report collector
Four sections of hack/cozyreport.sh read with a wall-clock ceiling and
the rest -- nodes, namespaces, events, HelmReleases, packages,
packagesources, PVCs, cert-manager, COSI, kamaji, the Talos node reads
and every module gate -- read with none. The tarball is written on the
collector's last line, so a single read that never returns does not
truncate the report, it loses it, on the run where it is the only
evidence left.

Each read now goes through the shape that fits it: the existing bounded
reader for a read whose output is a file, the existing selector for one
that feeds a loop, and a new probe for the `if kubectl get deploy ...`
gates. A gate is a read like any other, and an unbounded one is worse
than the reads it guards, since the module below it never starts. Its
cut-off is recorded, because skipping the module leaves the same empty
tree as a cluster that never had the component; a gate that answers "not
installed" is recorded nowhere, since that is the cluster answering
correctly and a marker firing on every install without KubeVirt is one a
reader learns to skip. The reads that stay on the bare wrapper say so
where they sit; what they share is that the output is not the reader's
to write, going into a variable or through a pipeline that transforms
it, so there is no moment at which a marker could attach.

The header claimed a per-section list of what was bounded, and the tests
froze that list plus a per-section count of the unbounded reads. Both are
gone. The list had already gone stale, naming four sections while the
file had ten, and the counts were an undercount by construction -- they
matched a redirect to `$VAR/`, which no gate, selector or command
substitution has. One test replaces both: no read below the library guard
runs without a ceiling, checked by looking for a counterexample.

A ceiling per read is not a ceiling on the report, and the header now
says so where it used to imply the opposite. The pod, VM, VMI and
services walks carry a count cap and a time budget; the walks over nodes,
namespaces, HelmReleases, packages, PVCs and certificates carry neither,
so their cost is the cluster's to set. What this removes is the read that
never returns.

The bounded reader now names the tool it ran and describes what that tool
returned. It served kubectl alone until this change gave it talosctl and
the four host commands, so a `df` that hit a stale mount left a marker
reading "kubectl exited 1 ... not because the object ended" -- two false
statements in one line, in an artifact whose premise is that its notes
can be believed.

The exec reader keeps the remote command's whole message in the listing
it belongs to. `kubectl exec` appends its own `command terminated with
exit code N` after whatever the command said, so quoting the last line
there drops the cause and keeps the trailer, and sending the message
away from the file leaves a zero-byte listing -- the "returned nothing,
or never ran" question this collector exists to answer. Its cut-off note
also stops asserting that the archive is beside it: a stream that got
members across is kept and truncated, one killed before its first byte
leaves zero bytes and the call site's emptiness check removes it, and
the reader runs before that check, so it names both.

Aleksei Sviridkin 920ad3e30d fix(e2e): bound the report reads that run inside a pod
The LINSTOR module runs six reads through `kubectl exec`: three
listings, the error-report index, and the controller and per-satellite
ErrorReport bundles. They are the only reads in the collector whose
duration is set by a workload rather than by the apiserver -- a wedged
controller, a satellite that stops answering, or a broken SPDY upgrade
holds the stream open with no clock anywhere in the path. The tarball is
written on the collector's last line, so one of those never returning
does not truncate the report, it loses it.

They go through a reader of their own rather than the existing one.
`kubectl exec` returns the remote command's exit status, so a 124 there
is either this collector's deadline expiring or a command that itself
exited 124, and the status does not separate them; describing it the way
every `get`, `logs` and `describe` is described would state a mechanism
about the machine writing the report for something that may have
happened inside a pod. The note says what is open instead of resolving
it, and goes beside the output rather than into it, since two of the six
stream a gzipped tarball that a line of prose turns into an archive
nothing can open. kubectl's own message travels with the note for the
same reason -- until now it was merged into the listings, so every run
put the "Defaulted container" line at the top of a table.

The guard that held the old assumption asserted only that no bounded
read was an exec, which leaving every exec unbounded satisfies. It now
also requires each exec to be bounded and requires the reader not to
borrow the classification written for reads whose 124 is unambiguous.
Matching on the verb rather than on the string `kubectl exec` is part of
the fix: half of these calls spell it `kubectl -n cozy-linstor exec`,
which that string never saw.
