Create/Get/Delete/ListByTag against real corev1.Pod objects in the same
cluster the operator runs in, running an ubuntu/squid container -- picked
by actually checking Docker Hub metadata (Canonical-published, rebuilt
the same day this was decided, 50M+ pulls) rather than guessing an image
reference. It's a public image, so kind nodes pull it directly with no
build/load step.
providerID is "<namespace>/<podName>", parsed via
cache.SplitMetaNamespaceKey -- the same self-contained-providerID
reasoning the plan already calls for on the GCP provider's zone-qualified
IDs. Pod state maps to InstanceState with Succeeded/Failed/Unknown all
collapsing to Terminated, since the reconciler already treats Stopped and
Terminated identically; Running-without-PodIP maps to Provisioning so an
empty IP is never published.
The client is built internally via ctrl.GetConfig() (in-cluster or local
kubeconfig, whichever applies), not threaded through the registry
Constructor signature -- this is what lets `make run` against a local
kind cluster and running in-cluster share the exact same code path with
no provider-specific wiring in cmd/main.go. New() is deliberately
untested (0% coverage): it's the one function that must never run under
`go test`, since it would happily connect to whatever cluster the
developer's kubeconfig points at. Tests construct Provider via an
unexported newWithClient(client, cfg) instead.
ListByTag lists Pods across every namespace (orphan GC needs to find
every tagged Pod regardless of where it landed), which means this
provider's RBAC has to be a ClusterRole rather than namespace-scoped --
flagged now, wired in Step 10.
provider.Config gains KubernetesConfig (replacing MockConfig) and drops
the FailWith*/fault-injection surface entirely, since that need is now
served by a small in-test stub Provider for reconciler tests (Step 4),
not a config-driven mechanism on a real provider package.
Tests use sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/client/fake -- real Pod
objects, the real client.Client interface -- at 77.6% coverage.

The mock provider (state simulated via an injectable clock, a hand-rolled
shared/refcounted CONNECT-proxy listener per port to work around macOS's
loopback restrictions) worked, but the user felt it was too far removed
from the real system to build confidence in, and doesn't need the
automated test suite to stay fast enough to justify that complexity — a
kind-based verification pass "once in a while" is an acceptable trade for
tests that actually look like the final product.
Replacing it with a provider that creates real Pods in the same cluster,
running an actual Squid container. internal/provider/registry was already
designed to have zero dependency on any concrete provider package, so
removing this one required no changes anywhere else in the tree — go
build is clean with nothing implementing provider.Provider yet.
docs/plans/2026-08-07-1747-proxy-operator.md's Step 3 (and every other
reference to the mock provider throughout the plan) is updated in this
same commit to describe the replacement. Narrative on why and the
replacement's design lands in docs/plans-executions once it's built.

An in-memory provider.Provider whose state (Provisioning -> Running ->
Terminated -> purged) is a pure function of an injectable clock, not
background timers, so it's deterministic under tests and correct under
real time with no goroutine lifecycle to leak.
Once an instance is observed Running, it lazily acquires a real HTTP
CONNECT proxy listener so the health engine's through-the-proxy probe
(later steps) genuinely tunnels a request end to end, instead of the
healthcheck being simulated or bypassed for local development.
Redesigned the listener sharing model from what the plan assumed: the
plan's "one loopback IP per instance" doesn't work on macOS (only
127.0.0.1 binds without a privileged ifconfig alias, unlike Linux where
the whole 127.0.0.0/8 routes to loopback by default), and there's no
channel for a provider to report a port back to the reconciler anyway
(EffectivePort() is spec-only). Instances now share one real listener
per port, reference-counted at the package level rather than per
Provider instance, since a bound TCP port is a genuinely process-global
OS resource -- two separately configured mock-typed provider entries
must not both try to bind the same default port.
Fault injection wired both ways: MockConfig.FailNextCreates/FailWith for
demos, InjectCreateFailures(n, class) for tests. Create is idempotent by
name.
Caught and fixed a real test flake (not a logic bug): the freePort test
helper asked the OS for a free port via bind-then-close, a TOCTOU race
under t.Parallel() that let two tests collide on the same "free" port.
Replaced it with a monotonic counter, since these tests only need
uniqueness within the test run.
internal/provider/mock at 91.1% coverage, including an end-to-end test
that opens real sockets: Create -> Get past provisionDelay -> a real
http.Client tunnelling a CONNECT through the mock to a real TLS origin.

The Provider interface (Create/Get/Delete/ListByTag), Instance, and
CreateRequest that every cloud backend implements — kept independent of
api/v1alpha1 so this package has no CRD-type coupling.
Error taxonomy (ErrNotFound/ErrQuotaExceeded/ErrTransient/ErrPermanent)
wrapped via a multi-error Unwrap() []error, so errors.Is and errors.As
both work off the same value: the reconciler branches on classification,
logs keep the underlying SDK error. Unclassified errors default to
ErrTransient — retrying is always safer than latching Failed.
Deterministic instance naming (SHA-256 -> base32 -> 16 chars, 22 total
with the "proxy-" prefix) satisfying GCP's RFC1035 name rules with
headroom, and idempotency-tested across 10k UIDs with zero collisions.
--providers-config YAML parsing (config.go) with fail-fast validation:
unknown type, duplicate name, missing gcp.project, mismatched
type/config-block, and strict-mode rejection of unknown keys.
internal/provider/registry/registry.go takes its type->constructor map
as a parameter rather than hardcoding it, so the package has zero import
on internal/provider/mock or internal/provider/gcp (neither exists yet —
mock is Step 3, gcp is Step 8) and compiles today. Explicit wiring moves
to the composition root in cmd/main.go (Step 10).
Deferred internal/provider/metrics.go (the WithMetrics decorator) to
Step 9, where the Prometheus vectors it needs actually get built —
nothing in this step depends on it.
internal/provider at 96.2% coverage, internal/provider/registry at 100%.
