Aleksei Sviridkin 23461e065d fix(redis): run one Sentinel when Redis runs a single pod (#5151)
<!-- Thank you for making a contribution! Here are some tips for you:
- Use Conventional Commits for the PR title: `type(scope): description`
- Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore
- Scopes are not an exhaustive list — pick the most specific scope for
the change and extend the list when a genuinely new area appears.
Examples:
- System components: dashboard, platform, operator, cilium, kube-ovn,
linstor, fluxcd, cluster-api
- Managed apps: postgres, mariadb, redis, kafka, clickhouse,
virtual-machine, kubernetes
- Development and maintenance: api, hack, tests, ci, docs, maintenance
- Breaking changes: append `!` after type/scope (`feat(api)!: ...`) or
add a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer
- If it's a work in progress, consider creating this PR as a draft.
- Don't hesistate to ask for opinion and review in the community chats,
even if it's still a draft.
- Add the label `kind/backport` if it's a bugfix that needs to be
backported to a previous version.

## What this PR does

The chart pins `spec.sentinel.replicas: 3` whatever `replicas` says, so
an instance created with `replicas: 1` runs one Redis pod and three
Sentinel pods that have nothing to fail over to. This makes the Sentinel
count follow the data pods: one Sentinel when `replicas` is 1, three
otherwise.

The operator cannot run zero Sentinels (freshworks `Validate()` resets
`sentinel.replicas <= 0` to 3), and it needs at least one to locate the
master. With one Sentinel its quorum is `replicas/2+1` = 1, so the
single Sentinel works on its own.

The operator also gives the Sentinel Deployment a PodDisruptionBudget
with `minAvailable: 1` whenever Redis has two replicas or fewer
(`ensurePodDisruptionBudget` in
`operator/redisfailover/service/client.go`). On a single Sentinel that
budget refuses every eviction and would block node drains, so the chart
sets `sentinel.disablePodDisruptionBudget: true` in that case only. The
Sentinel `WorkloadMonitor` now expects the rendered count instead of a
fixed 3/2.

The operator only stops ensuring that PDB once the flag is set; it never
deletes the one it created while three Sentinels ran
(`EnsureSentinelDeployment` in freshworks v3.3.5). An existing instance
scaled to one replica would keep it, so
`templates/hooks/sentinel-pdb.yaml` adds a post-upgrade hook that
deletes `rfs-<release>`, with a Role scoped to that one name. It renders
on upgrade only, since a fresh one-replica install never gets that PDB.

From `replicas: 2` up nothing changes. Scaling an existing instance
between 1 and 2 replicas scales the Sentinel Deployment between 1 and 3
accordingly.

Not in scope: with `replicas: 1` the Redis data pod keeps its own
operator PDB (`minAvailable: 1`), which already blocks drains of its
node today; that is unchanged here.

Tests: `tests/sentinel_replicas_test.yaml` covers 1, 2, 3 and the
default, the PDB switch, and the `WorkloadMonitor`. Three of its cases
fail on `main` without the template change.
`tests/sentinel_pdb_hook_test.yaml` covers the hook. `helm unittest
packages/apps/redis`: 79 passed. Open PR #4990 also edits
`redisfailover.yaml` (Sentinel spreading); the two touch different keys.

Backport: `release-1.7` ships the same freshworks operator and CRD, so
`kind/backport` applies. `release-1.6` is not backportable as is: it
still runs spotahome `v1.3.0-rc1`, whose vendored CRD (chart 3.3.0) does
not declare `sentinel.disablePodDisruptionBudget`, and the operator's
CRDs are installed with Flux's default `crds: Create` policy, so they
are never updated on an existing cluster. The API server would prune the
field and the single Sentinel would keep a `minAvailable: 1` PDB that
blocks node drains. A 1.6 fix would need a CRD update path first.


### Screenshots

<!-- REQUIRED for UI changes: attach screenshots or screen recordings
demonstrating
the visual impact of your changes. PRs with UI changes without
screenshots will not be merged. -->

### Downstream repositories

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

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

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

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

fix(redis): an instance with `replicas: 1` now runs one Sentinel instead of three, without a Sentinel PodDisruptionBudget; on upgrade, the PDB the operator created earlier is deleted. Instances with two replicas or more are unchanged.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Redis deployments configured with one replica now use one Sentinel;
other replica settings continue to use three.
* Workload monitoring now reflects the configured Sentinel count. When
changing to one replica, upgrades remove the Sentinel
PodDisruptionBudget.
* **Documentation**
* Updated Redis configuration guidance to explain how Sentinel count
varies with the replica setting and clarify Sentinel resource defaults.
