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.

IvanHunters 58910c0edc feat(kubernetes): route tenant worker image pulls through a registry mirror
Add a talos.registryMirrors passthrough to the kubernetes and kubernetes-nodes
charts that renders into the worker TalosConfigTemplate machine.registries.mirrors,
so an operator can point a registry such as ghcr.io at an in-cluster pull-through
mirror and a worker boot no longer depends on live public egress. Default {}
keeps the rendered worker reconcile Job byte-identical to before, content-hash
Job name included. Free-form mirror values are shell-escaped for the unquoted
apply heredoc, covered by an execution-level bats test.

Also add the e2e ghcr-mirror (registry:2 pull-through plus a Cilium egress
policy) and wire it into the kubernetes chainsaw suites, so CI exercises the
mirror path and takes the flaky public ghcr.io kubelet-image pull off live
egress.

Refs #3513 (addresses the egress variant of the tenant-worker node-join
failures; the dominant variant is CI-runner CPU starvation, tracked in the
issue).

Aleksei Sviridkin 5400f165e3 fix(e2e): keep a failed mirror lookup from pinning the public factory
resolve_talos_image_factory_url asked whether the in-cluster Talos image
mirror exists with a plain `kubectl get deploy`, where a connection
refused, an Unauthorized and a real absence all arrive as the same
non-zero exit. It then cached that reading for the whole suite, so one
unlucky moment sent every tenant worker to the public Image Factory over
live egress -- the dependency the mirror exists to remove -- while the
run still looked ordinary.

Ask with --ignore-not-found -o name instead: a real absence answers exit
0 with no output, which leaves a non-zero exit meaning only that the
question failed, and re-ask a couple of times before giving up. Only the
empty answer turns the suite toward the public factory. An unanswered
lookup warns, falls back for its own caller alone, and is not written to
the decision file, so the next tenant test asks again rather than
inheriting a guess.

Each attempt is bounded twice, and the two bounds are deliberately not
equal. kubectl defaults --request-timeout to 0, so a connection that
establishes and then stalls has no deadline of its own; the flag alone is
not a wall-clock bound either, because kubectl retries discovery several
times before giving up. Measured against a stub apiserver, the three ways
this call fails behave differently: a refused port answers in under a
second and names the refusal, one that stalls mid-TLS gets kubectl's own
handshake deadline and still produces text, and a blackholed address
produces nothing until some deadline expires. With both bounds at the
same value the expiry that arrives first is always the wall-clock kill,
so --request-timeout can never fire and that last case stays silent. The
wrapper therefore sits ten seconds above it: the request deadline ends
the attempt and kubectl says why, and the wrapper remains the backstop
for a client that overruns its own deadline.

Where timeout is not installed the read runs unwrapped rather than
through it: its exit 127 would otherwise count as an attempt that did not
answer, three times over, and a missing local binary would pin the whole
suite to the public factory while every message blamed the apiserver.

kubectl's stderr is left alone, because it is the only thing separating
refused from unauthorized from stalled. It is still not guaranteed, since
a kill can land before the client has said anything, so the lookup also
names the last attempt's exit status before giving up, in the vocabulary
the diagnostic reads use for 124 and 137.

The diagnostic path asks the same question and keeps its own answer to
it. That one gives up after a single attempt, under a phase budget where
re-asking spends what the snapshot behind it needs; this one runs on the
happy path, where a re-ask costs a suite nothing and buys it the mirror.

Aleksei Sviridkin 04494555c9 test(e2e): pin that an unanswered mirror lookup is not a mirror absence
The Talos image factory decision asks the apiserver once whether the
in-cluster mirror Deployment exists, reads any non-zero exit as an
absence, and caches that answer for the whole suite. A refused, throttled
or timed-out lookup therefore sends every tenant worker in the run to the
public Image Factory over live egress -- the dependency the mirror exists
to remove -- and the run reads as ordinary environment noise rather than
as a decision that was never actually made.

Route that question through one helper and pin what the helper owes its
caller: the three outcomes it must tell apart, the flags that make the
three-way answer possible at all, a deadline on every attempt, the
caching rule -- a real absence is resolved once and cached, an unanswered
lookup falls back for its own caller alone -- and that a missing local
timeout binary leaves the lookup asking the apiserver rather than
answering unknown three times over.

Two of those need saying carefully, because both concern what the caller
is told when the lookup fails. A killed attempt gets its own case, driven
by a wrapper that exits without running kubectl at all, so the lookup has
to account for why it gave up rather than relay someone else's words:
pinning the reason on a kubectl that failed loudly, as the sibling case
does, pins it only where it was never in doubt. And the wall-clock bound
is pinned as strictly greater than the request deadline beside it, which
is the property that lets kubectl reach its own deadline and say what
happened; level with it, the kill always lands first.

The helper is a placeholder in this commit and claims present
unconditionally, so the cases that need the distinction fail.

The stubs are files on PATH rather than shell functions because the
lookup runs under an external timeout binary, which execs a real file and
would never see a shell override. xtrace stays off for the rest of a test
that captures stderr: turned back on, a failing assertion wedges bats
instead of reporting it.

Aleksei Sviridkin 0d7beaf630 fix(e2e): bound the tenant failure diagnostics per read and as a phase
The node-join diagnostics 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, and an
unbounded read there does not lose only itself: it holds the Chainsaw op
until the op is killed, so everything after it is lost rather than
truncated, the tenant crust-gather snapshot the failing exit triggers
above all.

Each read now carries the per-call bound the newer collectors on this
path already use, sized lower because this block issues a dozen back to
back where those bound one. A read that fails or is cut off says so
instead of passing in silence, and says only what was observed: a read
that did not finish is silence about the cluster, not a finding about
it. The importer walk gains a cap for the same reason its listing is now
read on its own, since a listing that never answered must not 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.
Much of that is not ceiling-bounded at all: on the guest-Talos path the
applies, waits and deletes carry --request-timeout or --timeout, which
bound one HTTP request rather than a client retrying against a wedged
apiserver. 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 does stop the snapshot
being queued behind work begun past the deadline, which is how the
snapshot was being lost. Raising the op ceiling was the alternative and
it is not one: a larger ceiling times a sum that grows with every
collector added is the same problem 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; behind
a serial-console walk and a guest-Talos capture that can spend the whole
budget between them, they were exactly what a tight run would drop.

The 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; the prose keeps why
the budget comes from an inequality, why admission gates the start
rather than the finish, why the cheap reads run first, and which
residuals the guard's literals do not cover.

The sibling scheduling-gate branch ends in the same exit and depends on
the same snapshot, so its two reads are bounded too. So are the reads in
the talos-image-cache diagnosis, whose gate also gains
--ignore-not-found: exit 1 from kubectl get means a refused connection
or Unauthorized as readily as NotFound, and reading it as absent
announced the mirror as never deployed on the strength of a call that
never reached the apiserver. Bounding those dumps needed a note of its
own first, since timeout prints nothing when it fires and a cut-off dump
would otherwise leave a bare section header that reads as a cache with
no Pod, no Service and no EndpointSlice.

The knobs those bounds come from are validated rather than only
documented. Each is pasted somewhere that takes digits and nothing else,
and each failed differently and quietly: a suffixed or leading-zero
budget reached the arithmetic in the block's first statement and unwound
the whole function before its own headline, so a failing run produced no
diagnostics at all; a suffixed read bound became a millisecond request
timeout and made every note blame the cluster for a value; zero disabled
the bound outright; a suffixed importer cap made the comparison exit
non-zero, so the cap stopped existing; and a non-numeric grace makes
timeout exit before running the command at all. A rejected value falls
back and says so, which is what the rest of this tree does with its own
knobs. All four are re-checked where they are used, since a value set
after sourcing never passed the assignment, and the read bound is
checked again before the per-request string is composed from it so the
two halves cannot disagree. Each default is declared once as a constant,
and the re-checks read the bare variable so an unset knob is named
rather than silently defaulted.

When timeout itself is absent the reads run unbounded rather than being
bounded with a binary that is not there: the latter turns every read
into an exit 127 and every note into the cluster refusing, and collects
nothing, where unbounded is what this path did before any of this. The
phase says so once, and says what it costs rather than reassuring.

The reachability re-probe in the image-cache helper stays unbounded and
its comment names all seven of the calls it makes, the fire-and-forget
delete after the probe Pod included: the same function decides the
mirror on the happy path, so changing when it gives up is not a
diagnostic's decision to make. Its bounds are spelled at each call site
rather than precomputed, since a prefix built at source time cannot
follow a knob a test lowers afterwards while the --request-timeout
beside it does.

Myasnikov DaniilandClaude Opus 4.8 8af4ed543e test(e2e): address review nits — shellcheck directive + ports-workaround TODO
Non-blocking review notes from #2826:

- Add `# shellcheck shell=bash` to the four sourced `_lib/*.sh` helpers
  (etcd-cleanup, remediation-guard, run-kubernetes, talos-image-cache) so
  shellcheck stops flagging SC2148 (no shell directive) — they are only ever
  `. sourced`, so there is no runtime interpreter to infer from a shebang.
- Add a `# TODO(chainsaw>0.2.15)` marker at the postgres Service asserts
  explaining the `(ports[0].port)`/`(ports[*].port)` projection is a v0.2.15
  number-literal-filter workaround (and that `ports[0]` checks only the first
  port), so it gets reverted on a chainsaw bump; cross-references the same
  workaround in kafka/mariadb/harbor and the e2e-testing.md gotchas section.

Myasnikov DaniilandClaude Opus 4.8 ff0d0d77a7 test(e2e): make the talos image cache reachable by tenant workers (#3254)
The in-sandbox Talos image mirror (#3244) is unreachable by the tenant
workers it serves, so the kubernetes-* e2e tests fail deterministically at
the 12m node-join wait instead of relieving the public-factory flake (#3231).

Root cause (from #3254 by @lexfrei, verified against the failing run's
crust-gather snapshot): tenant namespaces run a default-deny Cilium egress
(allow-internal/external-communication + the <tenant>-egress CCNP) that
permits the world entity and the tenant tree but NOT an arbitrary kube-system
Service, so a worker's CDI importer resolves talos-image-cache.kube-system.svc
yet its TCP connect to the ClusterIP is silently dropped and no disk imports.
#3244's gate never caught this because it probed the server over localhost
inside the serve pod, which passes regardless of cross-pod reachability.

Port of #3254 to the Chainsaw layout (hack/e2e-chainsaw/_lib/):
- ship a tightly-scoped CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicy (importer pods in
  tenant-test -> mirror pod in kube-system), applied at point-of-use once
  Cilium CRDs exist; excluded from the pre-Cilium install apply via yq.
- replace the readiness probe with a throwaway pod in tenant-test labelled
  cdi.kubevirt.io=importer that curls the ClusterIP with a range request and
  must get 206 - the exact egress path a real importer faces; tenants use the
  mirror only when that end-to-end check passes, else fall back to the public
  factory, so it can only help, never make CI worse.
- unit test pinning the manifest split, probe/policy label agreement, the
  strict 206 gate, and the --overrides JSON builder.

Also adds (a2) DataVolume import-stage diagnostics to the node-join failure
block in run-kubernetes.sh (importer logs + a ClusterIP re-probe via
talos_image_cache_diagnose) so the import-stage failure mode is legible.

Myasnikov DaniilandClaude Fable 5 1f84d2d49e Merge origin/main into feat/e2e-chainsaw-example (post-#3244)
Fold the in-sandbox Talos image cache work into the Chainsaw layout:
the new shared helper relocates to hack/e2e-chainsaw/_lib/
talos-image-cache.sh and run-kubernetes.sh sources it from there (the
ouroboros DNS-check no-retry rework merges clean). The OIDC bats are
resolved as deleted again; their Chainsaw fixtures deliberately skip
the talos.imageFactoryURL injection — the helper only emits it when
the cache is up, and the zero-worker render-side tests instantiate no
DataVolume imports for it to redirect.
