Aleksei Sviridkin 905249fb39 fix(tests): bound the e2e data-plane capture's reads and stop inferring absence from silence (#3659)
<!-- 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 `backport` if it's a bugfix that needs to be backported
to a previous version.

## What this PR does

`hack/e2e-capture-dataplane.sh` runs after an e2e failure to snapshot
the host-to-pod data plane. Every `kubectl` read in it was unbounded, so
a read against a wedged apiserver hung until the caller's own backstop
killed the script, and then no capture file was written at all. The run
that most needs the diagnostic is the run least likely to produce one.
Each read now carries its own bound, 20s for a single read and 28s for a
list, well inside the 300s the callers allow.

Bounding the reads creates the second problem, which is most of this
diff. A bounded read that gives up returns empty, and empty was already
how the script recognised "there is nothing here". Five places turned a
read that never answered into a fact about the cluster: no affected
pods, no ovn-central, no LoadBalancer Service, no cilium-agent on a
node, and a LoadBalancer recorded as reachable. Two of the five only
became reachable because of the bounds. Before them the script died
instead of writing the file, so a lookup that never answered could not
be recorded as a pod that is not there.

Each of those claims now has a counterpart chosen by the status of the
read that produced it, and the counterpart says what is left unknown
rather than what the read did. The last one is the subtlest, because
nothing about it looks like a claim of absence: the probe resolves a
cni-server pod before probing, and a lookup that never answered produced
no probe outcome at all, which the decision helper read as "nothing
failed" and the artifact stamped as reachable. That is a verdict about
an address the script never touched. The probe now emits an explicit
unknown, and a set of outcomes that is entirely unknown stays unknown.
Only a wholly unknown set: one unrun probe beside real failures leaves
the failures standing and still captures, because they are the evidence
the capture exists to characterise.

Every note ships beside the capture it explains, not only in the job
log, because the reader who has the uploaded report and not the run is
exactly the reader who cannot otherwise tell a capture that found
nothing from one that never ran. Both sibling collectors already hold
that contract.

The middle commit is a separate and measurable thing. Each per-node pod
lookup was issued up to three times per node; it is asked once now and
memoised, with only answers and cutoffs cached, since an instant failure
costs nothing to re-ask and caching it would make one transient
permanent for the whole run. On an 8-pod, 8-node stub that is 264
kubectl calls down to 229 and 59 per-node lookups down to 24, with
byte-identical output.

Deliberately left, and worth naming so nobody reads this as the whole
class. The two EndpointSlice reads still discard stderr and report
neither outcome. The "reachable, skipped" wording still covers every
path that reaches it having run zero probes, among them an unresolved
probe node, a `_lbport` of 0, a cni-server image carrying none of `nc`,
`curl` or `wget`, and a failure of the probe `exec` itself rather than
of the lookup before it; that leftover is tracked in #3658. And the
three call sites still disagree about what a partial answer means:
`host_http_probe` discards a name that arrived with a non-zero status,
while `capture_node` and `capture_lb_node` use a non-empty name
regardless of it. All of these are verbatim at the merge base and this
diff does not change their behaviour.

Covered by 39 cases in `hack/capture-dataplane.bats`, each branch pinned
by a stub that answers one read and fails another, and each with a
positive anchor so a stub that stops short of the branch fails rather
than passing quietly.

relates to #3642


### 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.
