🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Guard ociImage in the experimental validation marker.

hack/tools/crd-generator processes this type-level marker when it transforms the generated source schema. When ociImage is absent for a Catalog source, the current rule evaluates self.ociImage.ref and can reject the valid source. Use:

// <opcon:experimental:validation:XValidation:rule="has(self.sourceType) && self.sourceType == 'OCIImage' ? has(self.ociImage) && self.ociImage.ref.size() != 0 : !has(self.ociImage)",message="ociImage is required when sourceType is OCIImage, and forbidden otherwise">

Add admission coverage for both missing-field cases, then run make generate manifests crd-ref-docs lint-api-diff.

In `@api/v1/clusterextension_types.go` at line 133, Update the type-level
XValidation marker for the source schema so the OCIImage branch requires
has(self.ociImage) before checking self.ociImage.ref, while the non-OCIImage
branch rejects any ociImage via !has(self.ociImage). Add admission coverage for
both missing-field cases, then run the requested generation, manifest, CRD
documentation, and API-diff lint targets.

If feels like self.ociImage.ref.size() != 0 is misplaced in this rule. I'd expect that on the validation of the OCIImage type itself. At this level, what we want to do conceptually is say "if sourceType is OCIImage, then ociImage needs to be set." Without a pointer, that means we need to look at the contents of ociImage. The best way to do that here would be: self.ociImage.size() > 0

The check does this, but instead of ">0" it's "!=0". This is just looking at the first field in the first field.

Yeah, this is mainly a separation of concerns comment.

  1. At this level, it is not the concern of the discriminated union that there is a field called ref that is set. This level only cares that the field itself is non-zero.
  2. At the level of "validate this struct when it is set", that's where we'd put validations related to the ref field.

Should we make this a pointer with omitempty to match *CatalogFilter. Then the XValidation check can also follow the same pattern?

I know omitzero makes it possible to have a non-pointer here, which is generally preffered, but I think consistency among the union members is probably more important than using the new Go 1.24+ features just for new union members.

Another thing I think we are free to do is change CatalogFilter to a non-pointer. I don't think that would break (de-)serialization, and our public API guarantee is our Kuberentes API, not our Go types.

I originally did, and coderabbit flagged for omitzero instead.
Since there is not a significance between nil and unconfigured, omitzero makes sense here. Otherwise we just introduce a bunch of nil checks for no benefit.
We're already failing crdiff because of description delta, so we would have to override it anyway. I think we might be able to go value for CatalogFilter+omitzero and achieve the same goals while being consistent in the overall approach.

Otherwise we just introduce a bunch of nil checks for no benefit.

Ehh, if we have API level validation that says "if sourceType is OCIImage, then ociImage must be set", I feel like it is perfectly reasonable to skip nil checks if we're already switching on sourceType.

Also, I'd go out on a (short?) limb and say "coderabbit is wrong" to suggest that we follow a different type pattern among different union members. I feel like the only right answers are:

  • all non-pointers with omitzero, OR
  • all pointers with omitempty

I think we'd see go-apidiff fail but no mention in crddiff (I don't think the CRD schema would actually change, but I might be wrong).

If the ref uses a tag, what is our behavior when the tag is moved to a different digest in the image registry? And then the follow-up question would be: is that the behavior that users would expect/that we want to support?

We should document that behavior and test for it. Alternatively, we could require a digest at least to start. I know the UX of that is worse, but it is simpler for us to deal with and easier for readers of this API to reason about.

Just checking that this is the exact same validation that we are using for the format of the catalogd image source?

I know we have an extra check there for "digest disallowed with poll interval", but other than that, I'd expect to duplicate the validation.

This was a minimal lift-and-shift from earlier work. I've adopted the more-robust catalogsource ref validation here now.

Nit: I wonder if we should combine the functionality of DirectBundleRequiresBoxcutter and ValidateDirectBundleSource? That way, when we drop the feature gate, we just remove that one conditional check from the function. That would keep this call site tidy (just one DBI check instead of two) and unchanged when the feature gate is removed.
