Problem

The FAR destructive test suite only covers happy-path worker-node remediation. Two non-happy-path scenarios identified during PR #22 review (by razo7) are missing: fencing a control plane node (where etcd quorum must be preserved), and remediating with only 2 schedulable workers (where FAR anti-affinity constraints may cause a Pending replica).

Summary

Add 3 new FAR destructive test Contexts: control plane remediation, minimal 2-worker leader failover topology, and 0-worker topology (negative test), with the required helpers and constants.

Changes

  • Add CP remediation test (OCP-90217): fences a CP node, verifies etcd ClusterOperator recovers, confirms reboot and Succeeded status
  • Add 2-worker leader failover test (OCP-90218): cordons extra workers, fences the FAR leader node forcing leader election failover to the surviving worker, verifies at least 1 replica during degraded capacity, confirms workload eviction and recovery to 2 replicas
  • Extend BuildAWSNodeParameters to include CP nodes (was worker-only, blocking CP fencing)
  • Add GetReadyControlPlaneNodes, SelectControlPlaneNode helpers
  • Add CordonExtraWorkers, UncordonNodes helpers with TestCordonAnnotation tracking
  • Add shared WaitForClusterOperatorHealthy helper (reusable by SNR/NHC)
  • Add TopologyControlPlane, TopologyMinimalWorker, TopologyZeroWorker labels
  • Add 0-worker topology test (OCP-90308): cordons all workers, deletes FAR pods to force reschedule, verifies 0 Ready replicas, uncordons and verifies recovery
  • Move >= 3 worker guard from shared BeforeEach to per-Context level (was blocking the 2-worker Context)

Jira: RHWA-1284

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Use taints instead of cordon to reduce schedulable workers
  • ➕ Avoids flipping Node.Spec.Unschedulable, which can be a broader cluster-admin action
  • ➕ Taints can be more explicit and reversible for a narrow test purpose
  • ➖ Requires workload tolerations management and careful cleanup to avoid test pollution
  • ➖ Doesn’t perfectly emulate an admin-cordoned node in all scheduling paths
2. Provision a dedicated 2-worker test environment instead of mutating topology
  • ➕ Eliminates the need for runtime cordon/uncordon logic and reduces cleanup risk
  • ➕ More realistic validation of steady-state minimal topology
  • ➖ Higher CI/environment cost and more operational complexity
  • ➖ Harder to run locally and to reuse existing destructive suite infrastructure

Recommendation: The current approach is appropriate for destructive testing: cordoning extra workers is a simple, cluster-native way to simulate reduced capacity and the annotation-based tracking helps cleanup. Keep an eye on failure-path cleanup (e.g., cordon patch failures) and consider taints only if cordon proves too disruptive in shared environments.

Action required

1. Uncordon cleanup swallows errors ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
UncordonNodes silently ignores Get/Patch errors, so a failed cleanup can leave nodes cordoned after
the 2-worker test and destabilize subsequent tests. Because errors are dropped, diagnosing cascading
CI failures becomes difficult.

Team previously accepted making teardown/cleanup failures visible instead of silently ignoring
errors.

PR-#22

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The AfterEach cleanup relies on UncordonNodes, but UncordonNodes uses continue on Get errors and
ignores Patch errors, so the suite can proceed while nodes remain cordoned.

PR-#42

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
`UncordonNodes` suppresses both `Get` failures and the result of `Patch`, so cleanup can fail silently and leave the cluster in a modified topology (cordoned workers) for later tests.

### Issue Context
- Called from `AfterEach` in the 2-worker topology context.
- Current implementation `continue`s on `Get` error and discards `Patch` error.

### Fix Focus Areas
- tests/far-operator/internal/farutils/cluster.go[179-196]
- tests/far-operator/tests/far_destructive.go[836-841]

### Suggested fix
- Change `UncordonNodes` to return an `error` (aggregate per-node errors).
- In `AfterEach`, call it and at minimum log failures (node name + error). Optionally `Expect(err).ToNot(HaveOccurred())` if leaving nodes cordoned is unacceptable.
- If you intentionally don't want teardown to fail tests, follow the established pattern: log the error loudly and keep going, but do not drop it silently.

2. CP timeouts unused ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
The new control-plane remediation test calls waitForRemediation(), which still uses
farparams.NodeRebootTimeout/NodeReadyTimeout (worker timings), so CP remediation can time out/flap
even though CPRebootTimeout/CPNodeReadyTimeout were added. This makes the new acceptance test
unreliable on slower CP reboots/etcd rejoin scenarios.

constants.

PR-#42
PR-#59

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The CP test invokes waitForRemediation after creating the FAR CR, but waitForRemediation
hardcodes the worker timeouts. Meanwhile CP-specific timeout constants were added, indicating intent
to use longer waits for CP, but they are not referenced by the remediation wait path.

tests/far-operator/internal/farparams/const.go[134-139]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
The control-plane destructive test uses `waitForRemediation()` which hardcodes worker timeouts (`NodeRebootTimeout`, `NodeReadyTimeout`). The PR adds CP-specific constants (`CPRebootTimeout`, `CPNodeReadyTimeout`) but they are not used, making CP remediation more likely to exceed the shorter worker thresholds.

### Issue Context
- CP remediation calls `waitForRemediation(ctx, APIClient, targetNode.Name, oldBootID)`.
- `waitForRemediation()` uses `farparams.NodeRebootTimeout` and `farparams.NodeReadyTimeout`.
- CP-specific constants exist but are unused.

### Fix Focus Areas
- tests/far-operator/tests/far_destructive.go[1055-1071]
- tests/far-operator/tests/far_destructive.go[738-794]
- tests/far-operator/internal/farparams/const.go[64-72]
- tests/far-operator/internal/farparams/const.go[134-139]

### Suggested fix
- Change `waitForRemediation` to accept `rebootTimeout` and `readyTimeout` parameters (or create a `waitForRemediationWithTimeouts`).
- In the CP context, call it with `farparams.CPRebootTimeout` and `farparams.CPNodeReadyTimeout`.
- Keep existing worker contexts using `farparams.NodeRebootTimeout`/`NodeReadyTimeout`.

3. 2-worker topology not validated ✗ Dismissed 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
The 2-worker topology test cordons extra workers but does not ensure FAR controller pods are
actually confined to the two kept workers, so the test may pass without exercising the intended
scheduling/anti-affinity pressure. If FAR pods remain running on cordoned nodes (cordon-only), the
cluster can still effectively host FAR replicas on more than two nodes.

●● Moderate

Extra topology/pod-placement validation adds test complexity; similar added HA/distribution
hardening has been rejected before.

PR-#8

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The test cordons extra workers, but the helper only marks nodes unschedulable; it does not
evict/move existing workloads. Separately, FAR tests assert HA distribution across nodes, so the
2-worker scenario should ensure FAR pods are actually constrained to those two nodes to exercise the
scheduling pressure.

tests/far-operator/internal/farutils/cluster.go[135-174]
tests/far-operator/tests/far.go[190-205]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
The test claims to simulate a minimal 2-worker topology by cordoning extra workers, but cordoning only prevents *new* scheduling; it does not guarantee existing FAR pods are moved off cordoned nodes. This can weaken the test (false pass) because FAR may still have replicas running on cordoned nodes.

### Issue Context
- The test cordons extra workers via `CordonExtraWorkers`.
- `CordonExtraWorkers` only sets `node.Spec.Unschedulable=true` (no eviction logic).
- FAR HA expectation elsewhere is that replicas run on distinct nodes; the 2-worker test should explicitly verify the FAR pods are constrained to the intended nodes.

### Fix Focus Areas
- tests/far-operator/tests/far_destructive.go[880-889]
- tests/far-operator/internal/farutils/cluster.go[135-174]
- tests/far-operator/tests/far.go[190-205]

### Suggested fix
Implement one of:
1) After cordoning, explicitly verify that all **Running** FAR controller pods are on `keepNames` (worker1/worker2). If any are on cordoned nodes, delete those FAR pods and wait for them to reschedule onto `keepNames` (or fail if they cannot).
2) Choose `keepNames` from the nodes currently hosting the FAR controller pods (so the test starts with FAR already placed only on the two kept workers), then cordon the rest.

This makes the topology constraint real for FAR and ensures the test exercises the intended scheduling behavior.

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
`WaitForClusterOperatorHealthy` calls `logf(...)` without checking for nil, which can panic if any caller passes nil.

### Issue Context
Current FAR call sites pass `GinkgoWriter.Printf`, but the helper is generic and may be reused elsewhere.

### Fix Focus Areas
- tests/internal/helpers/clusteroperator.go[14-50]

### Suggested fix
Add a nil guard at the start:
- If `logf == nil`, set `logf = func(string, ...interface{}) {}`

(or alternatively: document/enforce non-nil by returning an error immediately when logf is nil).

The Eventually(ReadyReplicas >= 1) assertion passes trivially on the first poll: at this point the FAR CR was just created and the fence agent hasn't executed — both replicas are still healthy. This proves nothing about degraded-capacity behavior.

To meaningfully verify survival during degraded capacity, first wait for the leader pod to become NotReady (confirming degraded state entered), then assert ReadyReplicas >= 1.

Fixed in HEAD b05513a (far_destructive.go:948).

The original Eventually(ReadyReplicas >= 1) ran immediately after createFARCR while both replicas were still Ready, so it was satisfied on the first poll before any fencing (Gomega returns on the first passing poll) and never observed degraded capacity.

The fix gates the survival check on the leader replica actually dropping, then verifies survival across the degraded window:

  1. Eventually(readyReplicas).Should(BeNumerically("<", farparams.ExpectedReplicas)) waits until Deployment.Status.ReadyReplicas drops below 2 (the leader pod no longer counts as Ready). I gate on the deployment-level ReadyReplicas rather than the leader node's Ready condition because the node flips to NotReady before the pod on it stops counting as Ready, so a node-Ready gate would let the survival check start while ReadyReplicas is still 2, i.e. the same trivial pass, just later.
  2. Consistently(readyReplicas, farparams.ControllerHandoverTimeout).Should(BeNumerically(">=", 1)) then verifies at least the survivor stays Ready throughout the degraded window.

Kept >= 1 (not == 1) so a fast node recovery back to 2 replicas inside the window does not false-fail; the property under test is "never collapses to 0". The < ExpectedReplicas gate is durably observable because the 2-worker topology plus anti-affinity keeps the replacement replica Pending, so ReadyReplicas stays at 1 for the reboot window (noted in a code comment). A transient deployment.Pull error returns ExpectedReplicas, so it neither false-detects a drop nor fails the survival check.

Missing two assertions that exist in parallel tests:

(a) FAR CR Succeeded condition — the CP test (line 736) and standalone tests both verify Succeeded=True. Without this, a stuck-Processing CR after failover would pass silently.

(b) Lease transfer verification — the existing leader test (OCP-70638) checks HolderIdentity changed to a different pod. Since this test is specifically about leader failover under constrained capacity, confirming the lease actually transferred to the survivor would strengthen coverage.

Fixed in HEAD 8ff2519. Added both assertions, mirroring the sibling patterns:

(a) FAR CR Succeeded condition (far_destructive.go:1015): after remediation, an Eventually asserts Processing=False, FenceAgentActionSucceeded=True, Succeeded=True on the CR, using the same condition-map pattern as the standalone (OCP-67015) and CP tests. A CR stuck in Processing after failover now fails instead of passing silently.

(b) Lease transfer (far_destructive.go:925 record, :978 verify): the pre-reboot lease HolderIdentity is recorded before the FAR CR is created, and the transfer is verified DURING the degraded window (after the survival check, before waitForRemediation) rather than after recovery. Placing it while the fenced leader is still down means the only other controller host is the survivor, so a changed holder here proves leadership actually moved TO the survivor, not merely that the old pod identity is gone (which a post-recovery check would also accept if the rebooted original node re-acquired the lease). Mirrors OCP-70638's HolderIdentity check (far_destructive.go:574-619).

Both blocks reuse the existing inline patterns; I can extract the shared condition-check and lease-transfer logic into helpers across the standalone/CP/OCP-70638 tests in a follow-up dedup if you prefer, but kept this change scoped to the 2-worker test.

Two fidelity gaps vs. existing FAR test patterns:

(a) No workload pod / eviction check. The standalone worker test and 2-worker test both create a pinned pod and verify eviction. The CP test fences a control plane node via the fence agent, which triggers the OutOfServiceTaint flow. That flow should evict pods from the fenced node. Without a workload pod on the CP node, the test only proves the node reboots and etcd recovers — it doesn’t prove that the pod eviction machinery works on control plane nodes (which have different taints/tolerations than workers). Adding this confirms pods on CP nodes are properly evicted during fencing — matching the source repo’s checkPodDeleted pattern.

(b) No CreationTimestamp check. The standalone worker test (OCP-61229, ~line 386) verifies the timestamp didn’t change to confirm reboot, not node recreation. Boot ID is the primary reboot signal (already verified via waitForRemediationWithTimeouts), but CreationTimestamp is a complementary one-liner that catches a silently destructive scenario: the cloud provider’s MachineSet controller recreating the Node object instead of the fence agent rebooting it. For CP nodes, recreation is especially dangerous (etcd membership, node-specific certificates).

Fixed in HEAD 283ca4a:

(a) Workload pod / eviction check: Added createWorkloadPod before the FAR CR (far_destructive.go:721) and an eviction check after node recovery (far_destructive.go:733), matching the workload/eviction pattern in the standalone worker and 2-worker tests. createWorkloadPod assigns the pod via spec.NodeName, which bypasses the scheduler (where NoSchedule taints are enforced); NoSchedule does not trigger taint-based eviction of running pods, so the pod is admitted on the CP node. The eviction is triggered by the fencing reboot.

(b) Event verification: The event gap was already addressed in an earlier commit. RemediationStarted, RemediationFinished, and NodeRemediationCompleted are verified. FenceAgentSucceeded is intentionally not asserted as an event on CP targets: it can be lost during the control-plane disruption window because events are best-effort and may not be persisted when the apiserver/etcd member on the fenced node is disrupted. It is covered instead by the durable FenceAgentActionSucceeded status condition (see the comment at far_destructive.go:806).

Pre-remediation etcd health check uses EtcdRejoinTimeout (10 min) — the post-recovery timeout. A precondition check should fail fast rather than waiting 10 minutes hoping etcd self-heals. Consider using a shorter timeout (e.g., FARConditionTimeout = 2 min) for the pre-test validation.

Fixed in HEAD 3f36221: the pre-remediation etcd check at far_destructive.go:699 now uses medik8sparams.DefaultTimeout (5 min) instead of farparams.EtcdRejoinTimeout (10 min). When etcd is already healthy, WaitForClusterOperatorHealthy returns on the first healthy poll — the timeout only matters as a failure ceiling. There is no reason to allow the full 10-minute recovery budget before declaring a pre-existing degraded state; 5 min is appropriate for a precondition check. The EtcdRejoinTimeout (10 min) is retained for the post-remediation check at line 732, where the wait must cover CP node reboot and etcd quorum re-establishment.

Hard Expect fails the suite on clusters with < 3 workers. The new CP test (line 688) and 2-worker test (line 815) both use Skip() for equivalent topology checks. Use the same pattern here for CI-friendliness:

Fixed in HEAD ff364f0: replaced the hard worker-count Expect with Skip() in the standalone destructive BeforeEach. The guard at far_destructive.go:298 now calls Skip(fmt.Sprintf("Standalone destructive tests require at least %d Ready worker nodes, found %d", farparams.MinWorkersForDestructiveTests, workerCount)) when worker count is insufficient, matching the CP test's guard pattern at line 688.

This BeforeEach is scoped to the "Standalone FAR remediation" context only, so the skip does not affect the CP or 2-worker topology tests which have their own independent guards.

Same pattern: Expect(cordonedNodes).ToNot(BeEmpty()) will hard-fail the suite if there are no Ready workers. Check worker count upfront and Skip() if none exist, consistent with the CP and 2-worker tests.

Fixed in HEAD e6a8b93. Added an upfront Ready-worker count check that Skip()s when there are none to cordon, matching the CP (MinControlPlaneNodes) and 2-worker (MinWorkersForTwoWorkerTest) topology guards. I also converted the Expect(cordonedNodes).ToNot(BeEmpty()) line you flagged into a Skip() (far_destructive.go:1135): with the upfront count guaranteeing at least 1 worker, an empty result there can only mean the topology changed between the count and the cordon (a worker went NotReady), which is a Skip condition, not a suite failure. There is no longer any hard-fail on an empty cordon result.

ExpectWithOffset(1) in waitForRemediationWithTimeouts is correct when called directly (e.g., CP test at line 724), but off-by-one when called through the waitForRemediation wrapper (extra stack frame). The 6 callers via the wrapper (lines 382, 456, 470, 538, 591, 904) all get the wrong failure location — CI output will point to far_destructive.go:1091 instead of the It block.

Simplest fix — accept a variadic offset so existing callers don't change:

func waitForRemediationWithTimeouts(
	ctx context.Context, k8sClient client.Client,
	nodeName, oldBootID string,
	rebootTimeout, readyTimeout time.Duration,
	callerOffset ...int,
) {
	offset := 1
	if len(callerOffset) > 0 {
		offset = callerOffset[0]
	}

	By("Waiting for node to reboot")
	ExpectWithOffset(offset, farutils.WaitForNodeReboot(...)).To(Succeed(), ...)

	By("Waiting for node to become Ready")
	ExpectWithOffset(offset, farutils.WaitForNodeReady(...)).To(Succeed(), ...)
}

func waitForRemediation(
	ctx context.Context, k8sClient client.Client,
	nodeName, oldBootID string,
) {
	waitForRemediationWithTimeouts(ctx, k8sClient, nodeName, oldBootID,
		farparams.NodeRebootTimeout, farparams.NodeReadyTimeout, 2)
}

The wrapper passes 2 (skip itself + waitForRemediationWithTimeouts); direct callers pass nothing and get the default 1.

Fixed in HEAD e6a8b93. The off-by-one is real: waitForRemediation adds a stack frame, so ExpectWithOffset(1) in waitForRemediationWithTimeouts pointed at the wrapper (far_destructive.go:1134 in your comment) for the 6 wrapper callers. Rather than thread a manual callerOffset, I marked both waitForRemediation and waitForRemediationWithTimeouts with GinkgoHelper() and switched to plain Expect (far_destructive.go:1258 and :1273). GinkgoHelper() skips all helper-marked frames when reporting the failure location, so failures are attributed to the calling It for both the direct caller (CP test) and the wrapper callers, and it stays correct if another wrapper layer is ever added (no offset to keep in sync). It is already the convention in this repo (e.g. far-operator/tests/upgrade.go, nhc-operator helpers). createWorkloadPod's ExpectWithOffset(1) is called directly from It blocks, so it is correct as-is and left unchanged.

After inline uncordon, cordonedNodes is not set to nil, so the DeferCleanup safety net will re-run UncordonNodes on already-uncordoned nodes. While UncordonNodes is idempotent, the 0-worker test (line 1008) does cordonedNodes = nil after inline uncordon. Align both for consistency and to avoid unnecessary API calls during cleanup.

Fixed in HEAD 8ff2519 (far_destructive.go:1072). Added cordonedNodes = nil right after the inline UncordonNodes call, so the DeferCleanup safety net (guarded by len(cordonedNodes) > 0) skips re-uncordoning already-restored nodes, matching the 0-worker test. UncordonNodes is idempotent, so this is a consistency/efficiency fix, not a correctness change.

ugreener and others added 2 commits August 18, 2026 22:33
Add two non-happy-path FAR destructive test scenarios (RHWA-1284):

1. Control plane node remediation (OCP-90217): Fences a CP node via
   fence_aws, verifies etcd quorum holds (ClusterOperator health check),
   and confirms the node reboots and rejoins.

2. Minimal 2-worker topology (OCP-90218): Cordons extra workers to
   simulate a 2-worker cluster, fences one worker, verifies FAR
   completes remediation despite degraded capacity (at least 1 FAR
   replica stays Running), and confirms full recovery.

Supporting changes:
- Extend BuildAWSNodeParameters to include CP nodes (was worker-only)
- Add GetReadyControlPlaneNodes, SelectControlPlaneNode helpers
- Add CordonExtraWorkers, UncordonNodes helpers for topology simulation
- Add shared WaitForClusterOperatorHealthy helper
- Add topology labels (TopologyControlPlane, TopologyMinimalWorker)
- Move >= 3 worker guard from shared BeforeEach to per-Context level

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 2-worker (90218): uncordon the extra worker(s) before asserting FAR
  recovers to 2 replicas. The fenced node stays NoSchedule-tainted until its
  CR is deleted (JustAfterEach) and the controller's hard topologySpread
  (whenUnsatisfiable=DoNotSchedule) needs a second untainted schedulable
  host, so the assertion was unsatisfiable while the extra worker stayed
  cordoned (pod Pending -> 300s timeout).
- CP remediation (90217) and the other event checks: verify lifecycle
  events with a longer, less rate-limited window (EventVerifyTimeout 5m /
  EventVerifyInterval 10s) so WaitForEvents does not exhaust the shared
  client's rate limiter before the events land. The FAR CR Succeeded
  condition remains the authoritative pass gate.
- controller-lifecycle (70636): retry the leader-pod lookup until the
  leader-election Lease resolves to a live Running pod, tolerating the stale
  Lease a preceding destructive spec leaves after churning FAR pods.

/test 4.22-konflux-e2e-far-aws

… spec

The control-plane remediation spec (test_id 90217) asserted FAR lifecycle
Events (RemediationStarted/RemediationFinished on the CR, NodeRemediationCompleted
on the Node). Kubernetes Events are best-effort and get dropped when the CP
reboot briefly disrupts apiserver/etcd (quorum 3->2 write stall), so the spec
flaked non-deterministically on whichever Event was lost (FenceAgentSucceeded,
then RemediationFinished on a later run). The remediation itself succeeds every
run and is already proven by the durable FAR CR status conditions
(Processing=False, FenceAgentActionSucceeded=True, Succeeded=True) plus observable
cluster state (boot-ID change, node Ready, workload eviction, etcd recovery), so
drop the Event assertions from the control-plane spec only. The worker specs keep
the full Event bundle, where fencing does not disrupt the control plane. README
test 17 and Polarion OCP-90217 updated to match.

Fix: stop asserting best-effort Kubernetes Events on the control-plane remediation spec

Symptom: 4.22-konflux-e2e-far-aws kept failing only on should remediate a control plane node and preserve etcd quorum (test_id 90217), at the "Verifying FAR lifecycle events on CR" step, e.g.:

context deadline exceeded; missing events for FenceAgentsRemediation/<cpnode>: [reason="RemediationFinished" type="Normal"]

The specific missing event varied between runs: FenceAgentSucceeded on Aug 16/17, RemediationFinished on Aug 20.

Root cause (test-design bug, not a FAR bug): The remediation itself succeeds every run. The CP node reboots (boot ID changes), rejoins Ready, the workload pod is evicted, the etcd ClusterOperator recovers, and the FAR CR reaches its terminal status conditions (Processing=False, FenceAgentActionSucceeded=True, Succeeded=True). Only the assertion on Kubernetes Events fails.

Kubernetes Events are best-effort: client-go's broadcaster drops them when its queue is full (DropIfChannelFull), and the sink drops them after a bounded retry limit, with no guaranteed delivery. Fencing a control-plane node reboots it and briefly disrupts apiserver/etcd (quorum drops to 2/3 with a short write stall), so any Event emitted across that window can be permanently lost.

The earlier fix moved FenceAgentSucceeded to a durable status condition but kept RemediationStarted/RemediationFinished as event assertions, on the assumption that they land outside the disruption window. The Aug 20 run disproved that: RemediationFinished (emitted as the node rejoins, while etcd is still re-forming quorum) was dropped too. The variance in which event drops is consistent with non-deterministic best-effort event loss rather than a reproducible FAR defect, and the durable Succeeded condition passes on every run. The identical event assertions pass reliably on the worker specs, where fencing does not disrupt the control plane.

Change: Removed both event-verification steps from the control-plane spec only, the CR events and the Node NodeRemediationCompleted event (the Node event fires on rejoin, i.e. the same disruption window, so it is equally lossy). The remediation outcome is now proven by the durable FAR CR status conditions (already asserted) plus observable cluster state (boot-ID change, node Ready, workload eviction, etcd recovery). The full event bundle is unchanged on the worker and 2-worker leader-failover specs, where events are reliable. The README (test 17) and Polarion OCP-90217 were updated to match.

No FAR product change: Event delivery is best-effort by design; the CR status conditions are the correct contract for verifying remediation.
