Summary

This PR adds the SBR must-gather diagnostic test and, in the same pass, hardens the shared SBRC agent-DaemonSet readiness wait that was causing a recurring CI flake on the e2e-sbr-aws-odf job.

1. SBR must-gather diagnostic test (OCP-88733)

Adds a non-destructive Go/Ginkgo test that runs oc adm must-gather with the RHWA image and verifies the output contains all SBR-specific diagnostic artifacts.

  • Add tests/sbr-operator/tests/must_gather.go
  • Add must-gather constants to tests/sbr-operator/internal/sbrparams/const.go
  • Add SBRCRDNames to tests/sbr-operator/internal/sbrparams/sbrvars.go

The test resolves the must-gather image via MUST_GATHER_IMAGE, NHC CSV lookup, or a hardcoded fallback; runs oc adm must-gather with a bounded timeout; validates node YAMLs for all nodes, the three SBR CRD definitions, and MachineHealthCheck data; and cleans up leftover openshift-must-gather-* namespaces.

Polarion: OCP-88733
Jira: RHWA-1050

2. Harden the SBRC agent-DaemonSet readiness wait (flake fix)

The shared waitForSBRCReady helper (called by 12 SBR tests) flaked ~25% of the time on the e2e-sbr-aws-odf job: whichever SBRC test ran first on a freshly provisioned ODF cluster timed out after 420s with DaemonSet sbr-agent-<name>: 0/3 pods ready, while every later SBRC on the warmed CSI path came up in ~90s. Because the suite runs with --randomize-all, any SBRC test can be the first cold-start victim (it most often surfaced as the detectOnlyMode [BeforeAll]). Root cause is the one-time cold start of the first CephFS PVC bind plus the SBD device-init Job; the failure was also opaque, reporting only the pod count.

  • Raise SBRCReadyTimeout from 7m to 10m to absorb the cold start. A ready DaemonSet returns immediately, so healthy runs never wait longer, and the ginkgo suite (24h) and ci-operator step budgets are unaffected.
  • On timeout, dump readiness diagnostics as a lazily-evaluated Gomega description (built only on failure, rendered in the [FAILED] block): DaemonSet status; each agent pod's non-ready conditions, PVC bindings, and init/main container states; every PVC and Job in the namespace; and the most recent Warning events (with age). Pods are found via the DaemonSet's own label selector, falling back to the <name>- prefix; all API calls run under a bounded context so a wedged apiserver cannot hang the already-failed test.

Same-signature failures on the periodic job (no PR involved): builds 2085654011062521856 and 2085380489136312320.

Changes

The PR adds SBR must-gather settings and CRD names. It adds a Ginkgo acceptance test that runs oc adm must-gather, validates collected resources, records artifacts, and cleans up must-gather namespaces.

SBR must-gather diagnostics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Must-gather configuration and resource contracts
tests/sbr-operator/internal/sbrparams/const.go, tests/sbr-operator/internal/sbrparams/sbrvars.go
Adds timeout settings, image defaults, and fully qualified SBR CRD names.
Must-gather acceptance flow
tests/sbr-operator/tests/must_gather.go, tests/sbr-operator/README.md
Adds image resolution, artifact creation, cluster-state capture, must-gather execution, output logging, resource validation, and test documentation.
Artifact inspection and namespace cleanup
tests/sbr-operator/tests/must_gather.go
Adds recursive path collection, case-insensitive matching, and cleanup for must-gather namespaces.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to ddbcb

The test’s cleanup can delete a namespace belonging to another concurrent must-gather run, and a missing artifact directory can prevent the test from starting. These bounded correctness and execution risks require owner awareness and resolution before merge.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Targeted must-gather namespace cleanup (parse created namespace)
  • ➕ Avoids scanning/deleting any concurrent openshift-must-gather-* namespaces from other jobs
  • ➕ More deterministic cleanup tied to the specific must-gather run
  • ➖ Requires parsing command output or reading must-gather metadata to identify the namespace reliably
  • ➖ Slightly more implementation complexity in the test
2. Stricter path assertions (structured checks vs substring contains)
  • ➕ Reduces risk of false positives from incidental substring matches
  • ➕ Makes failures easier to interpret when output layout changes
  • ➖ More brittle to minor must-gather directory structure changes
  • ➖ May require maintaining expected subpaths across versions

Recommendation: The current approach (run oc adm must-gather, then validate expected artifacts via collected path index) is appropriate for a shared CI smoke/acceptance test and keeps dependencies low. If flakiness or interference is observed in shared clusters, the most valuable improvement would be targeted cleanup of only the namespace created by this must-gather invocation, rather than deleting all openshift-must-gather-* namespaces.

1. Overbroad namespace cleanup ✗ Dismissed 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
cleanupMustGatherNamespaces deletes every namespace whose name starts with "openshift-must-gather-",
not just the namespace created by this test run. This can disrupt unrelated/concurrent must-gather
runs and makes the test destructive by deleting namespaces it doesn’t own.

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The must-gather invocation does not provide any per-run namespace scoping, and the cleanup function
unconditionally deletes all namespaces with the must-gather prefix, so it can delete namespaces not
created by this test.

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

### Issue description
`cleanupMustGatherNamespaces()` deletes *all* namespaces matching the `openshift-must-gather-*` prefix, regardless of whether this test created them.

### Issue Context
The test invokes `oc adm must-gather` without setting a run namespace, so the command chooses a (random) namespace name under the same prefix. The subsequent cleanup then enumerates all namespaces and deletes any with that prefix.

### Fix Focus Areas
- tests/sbr-operator/tests/must_gather.go[189-218]
- tests/sbr-operator/tests/must_gather.go[252-275]

### Implementation notes
- Generate a unique run namespace for *this* test (e.g., include Ginkgo parallel process / timestamp) and pass it to `oc adm must-gather` via `--run-namespace=<name>`.
- Track that namespace name and delete **only** that one in `DeferCleanup`.
- If `--run-namespace` is not available in your `oc` version, parse the created namespace name from must-gather output (or use another deterministic ownership signal) and delete only that namespace.

2. Non-unique must-gather dest dir ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
createMustGatherDestDir always uses $ARTIFACT_DIR/sbr-must-gather (and doesn’t clear it), so the
directory can be reused across reruns or concurrent processes. This can lead to stale paths being
validated and will deterministically overwrite oc-adm-must-gather.log, making results and
artifacts unreliable.
Code

tests/sbr-operator/tests/must_gather.go[R183-186]

+	dir := filepath.Join(base, "sbr-must-gather")
+	Expect(os.MkdirAll(dir, 0o755)).To(Succeed(), "Failed to create must-gather output directory")

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The destination directory name is constant when ARTIFACT_DIR is set, and the code only creates it
(does not clean it). Additionally, the must-gather log file is written with os.WriteFile, which
overwrites any existing log at the same path.

tests/sbr-operator/tests/must_gather.go[220-239]

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 must-gather destination directory is a fixed path under `ARTIFACT_DIR` (`.../sbr-must-gather`) and is created with `MkdirAll` without cleaning existing contents.

### Issue Context
- If the directory already exists (rerun / re-execution in same artifact root), `collectRelativePaths()` will include stale files from older runs.
- The test always overwrites `oc-adm-must-gather.log`, which can clobber previous diagnostic output.

### Fix Focus Areas
- tests/sbr-operator/tests/must_gather.go[177-187]
- tests/sbr-operator/tests/must_gather.go[205-210]

### Implementation notes
- Create a unique per-run subdirectory under `ARTIFACT_DIR` (e.g., `sbr-must-gather/<timestamp>-<ginkgo-node>`), or use `os.MkdirTemp(ARTIFACT_DIR, "sbr-must-gather-*")`.
- Optionally, ensure the directory is empty (or fail fast) before invoking `oc adm must-gather` to prevent stale artifacts from affecting validations.

Port the SBR must-gather test from ocp-edge-auto to system-tests as a
non-destructive Go/Ginkgo test. The test validates that oc adm must-gather
with the RHWA image collects all SBR-related diagnostic data:
- Node YAML files for all cluster nodes
- All three SBR CRD definitions
- SBR controller pod data
- StorageBasedRemediationTemplate CRs (if present)

The must-gather image is resolved via MUST_GATHER_IMAGE env var, then
NHC CSV version lookup, with a hardcoded fallback.

Missing Serial decorator. oc adm must-gather creates cluster-wide openshift-must-gather-* namespaces. If this test runs in parallel with another must-gather test (e.g. the FAR must-gather test from PR #81), the namespace cleanup logic at cleanupMustGatherNamespaces could interfere with the other test's namespaces or vice versa. Add Serial alongside Ordered.

Added Serial alongside Ordered (HEAD 09b8052a, must_gather.go: Describe("SBR Must-Gather Diagnostics", Serial, Ordered, ...)), matching the FAR must-gather spec in #81 (Serial, Ordered).

The race is real: cleanupMustGatherNamespaces deletes every openshift-must-gather-* namespace created after testStartTime, so a concurrently-running must-gather spec could have its namespace deleted mid-collection (and vice versa). Ordered only orders specs within this container and does not prevent parallel execution; Serial stops this spec from running in parallel with other specs in the same suite under -p, closing the in-suite window. It does not serialize against a separate suite package (e.g. far-operator) or an unrelated cluster gather, but under plain ginkgo -r those do not run concurrently anyway.

PR description claims two validations that are not implemented in the code:

  1. "Validates SBR controller pod data is collected (using path-segment matching /pods/<name>/)" -- missing
  2. "Conditionally validates StorageBasedRemediationTemplate CRs via dynamic client" -- missing

The README correctly reflects what the code does (node YAMLs, CRD definitions, MachineHealthCheck). Either add the missing validations or update the PR description.

Updated the PR description (the second option you offered): removed the controller-pod (/pods/<name>/) and StorageBasedRemediationTemplate CR bullets, which the test does not implement. The changed section now matches the code and README: node YAMLs for all cluster nodes, all 3 SBR CRD definitions, and MachineHealthCheck data.

sbr-agent-<name>: 0/3 pods ready", while every later SBRC came up in ~90s.
The suite runs with --randomize-all, so any SBRC test can be the first
cold-start victim. Root cause is the one-time cold start of the first
CephFS PVC bind plus the SBD device-init Job, and the failure was opaque
(no diagnostics beyond the pod count).

- Raise SBRCReadyTimeout 7m -> 10m to absorb the cold start; a ready
  DaemonSet returns immediately, so healthy runs never wait longer, and
  the ginkgo suite (24h) and ci-operator step budgets are unaffected.
- On timeout, dump readiness diagnostics as a lazily-evaluated Gomega
  description (rendered only on failure, inside the [FAILED] block):
  DaemonSet status; the agent pods' non-ready conditions, PVC bindings,
  and init/main container states; every PVC and Job in the namespace;
  and the most recent Warning events. Pods are found via the DaemonSet's
  own label selector (falling back to the name prefix), and the API
  calls run under a bounded context so a wedged apiserver cannot hang
  the already-failed test.
