The health check shares each host's libvirt connection with the reconciles,
so it must not be able to take that connection away from them.
- A timed-out check no longer drops the link. The check goes through the new
hostPool.probe, which abandons its RPCs when the context ends and leaves
the connection alone, so an image upload or a Create running on the same
link is not cut off. A link that really died is closed by the keepalive.
One abandoned probe per host may stay waiting; until it returns, the next
check reports Timeout at once (errProbeBusy).
- Waiting for a host's connection slot now ends with the caller's context.
hostEntry used a mutex, so a check could wait out a reconcile redialing a
dead host — minutes — past its own timeout. The slot is a one-slot channel
and acquire bounds only the wait, never the uncontended take.
- --provider-check-timeout defaults to 0 and derives min(15s, interval).
The flat 15s default contradicted the validation that the timeout may not
exceed the interval, so --provider-check-interval=12s alone failed to
start.

--provider-check-interval (1m; 0 = off, else at least 10s) and
--provider-check-timeout (15s) are validated before the providers config
loads. Checkers are collected from the unwrapped providers in config
order, so checks never count as provider requests. Three scrape-time
gauges per {provider,target} read the monitor's snapshot: up, check
duration and check timestamp. The e2e suite waits for the kubernetes
ProviderHealth to turn Ready and asserts its gauge in the scrape.

A leader-only runnable checks every configured provider concurrently
under one timeout per round (first round at start, then every interval),
keeps the latest results for the metrics collector, logs targets going
down, changing reason or coming back, and publishes one ProviderHealth
object per provider: created with a managed-by label when missing, then
a status merge patch. Per-target lastTransitionTime survives rounds in
which ready does not flip. Objects of providers that are no longer
configured are deleted once at start; with checks turned off, all are.
Reads go through the API reader, so no cluster-wide informer is needed.

One operator-owned object per configured provider will carry the
periodic check result: a Ready condition, per-target verdicts with their
own transition times, and a ready/total count for kubectl get. There is
no spec; only a viewer role is shipped since the operator is the sole
writer. Written by hand (kubebuilder is not installed), registered in
the existing AddKnownTypes call rather than a second init().

The default manager config gains a kvm-home provider reaching beelink
over Tailscale, the provider sample names the same host, and the
manager kustomization uses the locally built kvm-dev image.

Merging the bootstrap into each Proxy's cloud-config was the wrong
mechanism twice over. Detection only matched a literal #cloud-config
first line, so a jinja template or a MIME archive still fell back to
vendor-data, where cloud-init's default mergers drop it — the exact
failure the merge existed to prevent. And the YAML round-trip re-typed
unquoted scalars: version: 1.10 reached the guest as 1.1, comments were
dropped and keys reordered.
Neither is worth patching, because vendor-data delivered as a shell
script bypasses the merger entirely: cloud-init hands vendor-data to its
own handler chain, writes scripts to a separate directory and runs them
from cc_scripts_vendor, after the user's packages and before the user's
runcmd. The merge could not have been rescued anyway — merge_how in
user-data governs only the first source, and merge_how in vendor-data is
discarded before the document is stored.
The Proxy's cloud-init now reaches the seed byte for byte in any format.
installGuestAgent (default true) turns the script off; a configured
vendorData travels beside it as a MIME multipart, declared text/plain so
cloud-init re-sniffs it and this code never classifies user content.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
In the kind cluster two KVM Proxies with real cloud-configs booted fine
but never left Provisioning: the guest agent was not installed, so the
provider could not learn the IP. cloud-init merges vendor-data under
user-data with its default mergers, which keep the user-data's value
for any key both define and never append lists, so a cloud-config with
its own `packages:` silently dropped the vendor-data's packages and
runcmd. The integration test passed only because its user-data was
empty.
withGuestAgent now appends qemu-guest-agent to `packages` and the
enable command to `runcmd` of the Proxy's own cloud-config (skipping
entries already present) and re-renders it. Vendor-data is no longer
defaulted; `vendorData` is plain extra data. User-data that is not a
cloud-config document (script, #include, MIME) still gets the bootstrap
as vendor-data. A cloud-config that is not a YAML mapping, or whose
packages/runcmd is not a list, fails the Proxy as ErrPermanent.
Validated in-cluster: both Proxies Ready and healthy in two minutes, 204

The manager runs with a read-only root filesystem and the seed ISO
writer stages files in a temp directory, so the first in-cluster Create
failed with "creating iso writer: read-only file system". Mount a 64 MiB
emptyDir on /tmp.
That error is classified ErrPermanent by writeSeed, yet hostPool.call
treated every non-libvirt error as a transport failure and dropped the
cached SSH connection, redialling on each retry. Errors that already
carry a provider sentinel are local verdicts, not evidence about the
link; leave the connection alone for those.

The known-gaps entry, decision log, sample comment and builder comment
blamed the host; the cause is trixie's GRUB config ("terminal_output
gfxterm serial" with a serial console and no video device), reported
and reproduced upstream and still open. UEFI remains the default for the
reason recorded; bookworm images are noted as unaffected.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Run 5 on the real host bisected the guest hang: the Debian 13 image
hangs after GRUB under SeaBIOS with or without our seed and with either
CPU model, and boots under OVMF. The image's legacy boot chain is the
problem, not the provider.
images.<key>.firmware is "uefi" (default) or "bios". The domain XML
emits <os firmware="efi"> with secure boot off, so libvirt selects the
OVMF binary and manages the NVRAM file, which the existing nvram undefine
flag removes. Direct-URL images default to UEFI too. OVMF joins the
hypervisor prerequisites; sample, config table, known gaps, decision log
and the execution log record the finding.

Registers "kvm" in the provider builtins, mounts an optional kvm-ssh
Secret at /etc/proxy-operator/kvm, adds a kvm-home providers-config
sample and a proxy_kvm.yaml Proxy sample, documents the provider in
docs/kvm-provider.md (prerequisites, config reference, image cache and
its do-not-replace-in-use rule, known gaps), and updates the README
and architecture provider sections and decision log.

config/manager/kustomization.yaml: commit the images: stanza that
`kustomize edit set image` (run by make deploy, including inside make
test-e2e) writes into this tracked file. It showed up as unexplained
drift twice; committing it once ends that -- the edit is idempotent, so
future deploy/e2e runs produce no diff. The example.com image name is
the e2e suite's placeholder default and gets overridden by IMG= on any
real deploy.
Execution log: the Status checklist's Step 3 line still said "Mock
provider" from before the pivot; a fresh session resuming from the
checklist alone would have been misled.

Follows the approved lean-down plan
(docs/plans/2026-08-08-1335-lean-scaffold-cleanup.md). Removes from the
application's deployed footprint:
- config/network-policy/ and its commented enable line -- the user does
not need network policies at the moment.
- The webhook-only halves of config/default/kustomization.yaml: the
commented ../webhook and ../certmanager resource lines, the
manager_webhook_patch.yaml reference, the serving-cert ->
Validating/Mutating WebhookConfiguration cainjection replacement
blocks, and the crdkustomizecainjection* scaffold markers -- anchors
only for `kubebuilder create webhook`, which is a permanent non-goal.
- The two commented [WEBHOOK] blocks in config/crd/kustomization.yaml
plus the now-empty patches: key; kept the one-line
crdkustomizeresource marker since `kubebuilder create api` could
legitimately run again.
- config/crd/kustomizeconfig.yaml, whose only consumer was the removed
configurations: block.
Explicitly kept per user direction: all of config/prometheus/, the
paired metrics-TLS-via-cert-manager plumbing (cert_metrics_manager_patch
+ the metrics-certs/ServiceMonitor replacement halves), all RBAC
manifests including the admin/editor/viewer helper roles, and all
developer tooling.
Also records in the execution log why the webhook machinery existed at
all: kubebuilder init emits it unconditionally, verified against the
v4.15.0 binary that no init flag can suppress it -- scaffold-then-prune
is the only supported path, and the pruning pass should have happened
at Step 0.
Verified: kustomize build clean on config/default and config/crd,
go build/vet clean with and without -tags=e2e, make test green with
coverage identical to pre-cleanup.

Full ProxySpec/ProxyStatus/Proxy types per the plan: PlacementSpec,
CloudInitSpec, EndpointSpec, HealthCheckSpec, SecretKeySelector, all
defaults, and 7 CEL XValidation rules enforcing mode/provider
immutability, provider/endpoint required-iff-Managed/External, and
cloud-init exactly-one-of inline/secretRef.
Applies the four corrections identified during planning that would
otherwise be silent bugs: MaxLeases as *int32 (so an explicit 0 survives
Go round-trips instead of re-defaulting to 5), HealthCheck's
default={} marker (so nested defaults apply even when the field is
omitted entirely), MinLength=1 on Provider/CloudInit.Inline (so the CEL
has() checks stay simple), and listType=map on Conditions.
Adds pure helpers (EffectivePort, EffectiveHost, HealthCheckOrDefault,
MaxLeasesOrDefault) with table-driven tests, for use by the health
engine, discovery API, and spec-hash computation in later steps.
Patches the scaffolded placeholder controller test's resource literal to
a schema-valid spec so it survives the new CRD validation — the test
itself is rewritten wholesale in Step 4 alongside the real reconciler.
Regenerated deepcopy and the CRD; make test green (envtest confirmed all
7 CEL rules enforced by a real apiserver).

Bootstraps the empty repo into a kubebuilder go/v4 project: group
crawl.example.com, version v1alpha1, kind Proxy (namespaced). Keeps the
existing module path and preserves the repo's Go/testing/changelog
conventions from CLAUDE.md untouched.
Drops the scaffolded GitHub Actions workflows since the remote is Gitea,
not GitHub. Everything else is default kubebuilder output, unmodified,
so later diffs stay reviewable against a known baseline.
