TL;DR

Adds three capabilities to nvcf self-hosted check: a control-plane cluster
validator (wired to the companion nvca PR #781), stale-namespace detection
before install, and pre-install registry credential validation over the generic
OCI Bearer token flow. --compute-plane was previously a no-op and now works.

Review of the first implementation found that everything the validator creates
in the cluster was named predictably and owned by labels alone, so the resource
lifecycle was reworked to per-run, unguessable names.

Behaviour changes for existing CI users

  • A configured cluster-validator that cannot run (RBAC denied, image pull
    failure, timeout) now fails check with exit code 2. It used to be a
    warning and exit 0, so a CI gate passed without validating the cluster.
    Pass --skip-cluster-validation to opt out explicitly.
  • A check whose time budget runs out exits 5 with a final event. Checks that
    never started are reported as "not run" error rows, so a partial run can no
    longer pass the gate.
  • An interrupted check (Ctrl-C, SIGTERM, or a quit key in the interactive
    dashboard) exits 130 and cleans up the validator's in-cluster objects before
    returning. A second Ctrl-C exits at once.
  • --wait keeps polling while the validator reports a transient warning, such
    as a rollout in progress. --wait with --no-cleanup is rejected.
  • A cluster_validator_image with no tag whose latest tag cannot be discovered
    is skipped with a note to pin one, instead of being pulled as :latest.
  • In the terminal table, warning rows show [!] instead of the failure mark.
  • Unchanged: with no cluster_validator_image configured, the validator is
    skipped with a stderr note and check does not fail.

Additional Details

Role gating

Two predicate pairs drive the run. *IsTargeted decides whether a role's own
check set runs; *IsVisited decides whether a cluster is contacted at all.
--pre in ModeSplit visits both clusters for the shared pre-install checks
without targeting either role, so the dispatch, image resolution, the inotify
probe and the skip note all key off *IsVisited. Gating them on *IsTargeted
made --pre in split mode silently run neither validator nor the inotify probe,
and print no note explaining why.

*IsVisited takes no mode argument: (X || (pre && single)) || pre absorbs to
X || pre, so the mode cannot change the answer.

A validator is told the run is post-install (VALIDATOR_POST_INSTALL) unless
the run is a bare --pre. --pre --all marks both roles post-install, and
--pre with a role's own flag marks that role. SIS reachability runs only for
--all or --compute-plane.

Run-scoped resource names

The pull Secret and the network-checks ConfigMap were created under predictable
names and owned by labels alone. The managed labels are three public constants,
so anyone able to create objects in the validator's namespace could pre-create
either name wearing them, pass the ownership check, and receive whatever the run
wrote there. For the Secret that is the NGC credential.

Both names now carry the run's unguessable suffix, matching what the RBAC
objects already did, and the Secret write is create-only: nothing this CLI
created can already hold a name it just generated, so AlreadyExists means
another object does and erroring beats overwriting.

Run-scoping also removes two lifetime conflicts. Two overlapping commands no
longer share one ConfigMap, where the first to finish deleted config the other
pod had not read yet; and one run's sweep can no longer delete a Secret another
run selected. It cost the accidental self-healing a fixed name gave us, so the
orphan sweeper gained Secret and ConfigMap arms.

Resource lifecycle

  • activeDeadlineSeconds on the Job, so an ImagePullBackOff reaches a
    terminal state and its TTL fires. Without it the Job, its cluster-wide
    ClusterRole and its pull secret leaked indefinitely on the exact failure mode
    operators retry.
  • The validator is stopped before its RBAC is revoked. On interrupt the Job is
    deleted with Foreground propagation and the CLI waits, for a bounded time,
    until the pod has ended, so the validator's own SIGTERM cleanup still has its
    credentials. On a timeout the CLI waits for activeDeadlineSeconds to end the
    pod, then sweeps. If the pod does not end, the RBAC is kept and the result
    prints the command that removes it.
  • Transient failures are retried: a failed Job GET, and an image pull failure
    until it has persisted for a grace period. InvalidImageName is terminal at
    once.
  • --no-cleanup marks every object it preserves, so the orphan sweeper spares
    them for 24 hours rather than reclaiming a deliberately kept run after 30
    minutes. Preserved objects carry no owner reference to the Job, so deleting
    and recreating the kept Job does not garbage-collect them.
  • The RBAC cleanup defer is registered before the bootstrap, so a kubeconfig
    that can create a ServiceAccount but not a cluster-scoped ClusterRole no
    longer abandons one per attempt (roughly 360 under --wait 30m).
  • The Job carries the securityContext, resources and tolerations the chart sets
    for the same image, so it is not rejected under PodSecurity restricted and
    schedules on a cluster whose nodes all carry the control-plane taint.
  • Enforcement is disabled in the preflight ConfigMap. VALIDATOR_PREFLIGHT only
    suppresses the summary write, so a readiness check was creating namespaces,
    pods and NetworkPolicies and pulling busybox from Docker Hub before anything
    was installed.

Validator result handling

  • "NVCF-Ready (with warnings)" is a warning row, not a clean pass.
  • An image built before feat(nvca): extend control-plane validator with HA checks, DaemonSet n2n, and route CR type check #781 (no role marker) is downgraded to a warning only
    when GPU Resources is its only failed critical row. Any other failure, such
    as /readyz or admission webhooks, stays an error.
  • Registry reachability endpoints written to the validator ConfigMap are
    non-critical. The validator dials from a pod with no proxy support, while
    nodes often pull through a proxy or mirror, so a failed in-pod dial is a
    warning. The local credential check still fails a registry the install cannot
    pull from.

Credential handling

NGC_API_KEY is only minted for NGC registries. An operator mirroring the
validator image to ghcr.io or a corporate Harbor would otherwise have the
kubelet send the live key there as HTTP Basic auth.

For an NGC registry the credential check uses NGC_API_KEY first when it is
set, the key up and the validator pull secret mint from, then the Docker
config and its credential helpers (credsStore, credHelpers).

Every registry string passes the same host validation, so a values file setting
global.image.registry to a host-moving value cannot aim an outbound request.

--env replaces HELMFILE_ENV when resolving the stack values file:
HELMFILE_ENV is only injected into the helmfile subprocess, so reading it in
this process always fell through to base.yaml and credential-checked a
registry the install would never pull from.

Stale namespace detection

Two conditions are reported. A namespace stuck Terminating fails the run. "No
Helm release" warns, and is not reported:

  • under HELM_DRIVER=sql, which keeps release state outside the cluster;
  • for a namespace that only holds registry pull Secrets, which is how the
    documented install pre-creates them;
  • for a namespace that runs pods, such as an install rendered with
    helm template by Argo CD.

What down leaves behind runs nothing and still holds data, so it is still
reported.

The remediation inspects rather than deletes. The stack gates cert-manager,
NATS, OpenBao and Cassandra on *.enabled, so an operator who installs one the
documented upstream way owns a healthy namespace with no owner=helm object;
the previous kubectl delete namespace cert-manager would have destroyed every
Certificate and Issuer in the cluster.

JSON contract

success and the exit code now derive from one predicate. A warning-severity
result previously emitted success:false and verdict:failed while the process
exited 0, so a CI gate on final.success broke for every user whose registry
credentials live in a Docker credential helper. The already-documented
warnings verdict is now emitted.

For the Reviewer

  • cmd/self_hosted_check.go: the *IsVisited predicates and everything gated on
    them, isBlockingFailure as the single failure definition, the budget and
    wait loop, validatorEnvForRole, resolveStackValuesFile.
  • internal/selfhosted/clustervalidator.go: run-scoped names, the orphan sweeper
    arms, activeDeadlineSeconds, the preserve label, the Job pod shape,
    stopValidatorJob and the retry logic in waitForClusterValidatorJob.
  • internal/selfhosted/preflight.go: "not run" rows, the verdict-line and
    legacy-image handling in clusterValidatorCheck.
  • internal/selfhosted/pullsecret.go: create-only writeDockerConfigSecret, the
    NGC-registry gate, role-scoped adoption.
  • internal/selfhosted/stale_namespace.go: the HELM_DRIVER gate, hasPods
    and onlyInstallPreparation.
  • internal/selfhosted/registry_cred.go: host validation on every source, the
    IPv6 bracket guard.
  • cmd/main_test.go: the seams that make the package hermetic.

Worth reading the commit body on fe418ddf0: the security rationale for
create-only writes and run-scoped names is the part that cannot be inferred from
the diff.

For QA

go build, go vet and the full module suite pass; all 21 bazel targets pass.

The cmd package is hermetic. It previously created a hostPath busybox pod per
node in default, listed Secrets across the stack namespaces of whatever
kubeconfig happened to be current, and made an outbound request per configured
registry. TestMain stubs those seams and points HOME at a temp dir, so the
developer's ~/.nvcf-cli.yaml is not read and ~/.nvcf-cli.state is not
written. Check tests reset flag values between runs and pass under
-shuffle (12 of 12 seeds).

Cleanup on interrupt and bounded deletes are also tested against an in-memory
apiserver, so the DELETE requests and their propagation are checked on the wire
and not only on the fake clientset.

Behavioural guards are mutation-tested: each was verified by breaking it and
confirming a test fails.

Verified on k3d ncp-local with the NVCF stack deployed:

  • Registry credential checks against nvcr.io with valid and invalid keys.
  • NGC_API_KEY confirmed not sent to non-NGC registries.
  • ECR reported as skipped rather than failed.
  • Stale and Terminating namespaces detected.
  • VALIDATOR_ROLE=control-plane confirmed in the Job env.

No further QA needed.

Merge order: this depends on #781, which must merge first. VALIDATOR_ROLE is
set on the Job here but nothing reads it until #781 lands. Until then an image
built before #781 runs the compute-plane check set on the control plane; its
GPU Resources failure is reported as a warning.

Deferred: making the validator namespace configurable rather than the default
constant; and pulling the node-to-node probe image from a mirror that needs
credentials, which needs a change in #781 as well (the probe namespace needs
the run's pull secret, or the probe image should default to the validator's
registry).

145-162: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

ModeSingle now runs the validator twice, but the outer budget still assumes one run.

cpRC and gpuRC both set ClusterValidator in the ModeSingle branch, and the two RunPreflightForRole calls at Line 482 and Line 483 are sequential. Each runClusterValidator invocation owns a 5-minute clusterValidatorTimeout, so the worst case is 10 minutes plus RBAC bootstrap and log fetch. outerTimeout is 6 minutes. The compute-plane validator then derives vctx from the remaining ceiling and its wait is truncated, which is the exact failure the comment at Line 155 sets out to prevent.

Two related effects in the same path: the second run calls sweepPriorClusterValidatorJobs, which deletes the control-plane Job, so --no-cleanup cannot preserve it for debugging.

Size the budget for the number of validator runs.

🐛 Proposed fix
 	outerTimeout := 2 * time.Minute
-	if clusterValidatorWillRun {
-		outerTimeout = 6 * time.Minute
+	if clusterValidatorWillRun {
+		// ModeSingle runs the control-plane and compute-plane validators
+		// sequentially against the same cluster; budget both.
+		runs := 1
+		if mode == kubectx.ModeSingle &&
+			controlPlaneIsTargeted(mode) && computePlaneIsTargeted(mode) {
+			runs = 2
+		}

resolveStackValuesFile depends on the operator's working directory and a fixed environment name.

The function walks up from os.Getwd() for deploy/stacks/self-managed/environments/local.yaml. Two limits follow:

  • An installed CLI run outside the source tree never finds the file, so global.image.registry never contributes a registry entry.
  • The path pins the local environment. An operator running a staging or production environment file gets no registry from this source.

Prefer an injected transport over mutating http.DefaultTransport.

Three tests swap the process-wide http.DefaultTransport. The restore is correct today because no test in this package calls t.Parallel. If any test in package selfhosted later becomes parallel, these swaps race with every other HTTP-using test.

Build the ConfigMap YAML from a struct instead of string surgery.

buildControlPlaneValidatorConfig interpolates registry hostnames into a raw YAML string and then relies on strings.Replace finding the literal "enforcement:" token. Two consequences:

  • A hostname containing YAML-significant characters produces a malformed document that the validator cannot parse.
  • Any future edit to the template that changes or reorders enforcement: silently breaks the insertion point.

Replace the hand-rolled host:port parser with net.SplitHostPort.

The current parser has two defects:

  • IPv6 literals break. [::1]:5000 splits at the last colon and returns host [::1] only by accident; ::1 returns host : and port 1.
  • "nvcr.io:" returns host "nvcr.io:" with the trailing colon, which then becomes a malformed host: value in the ConfigMap.

net.SplitHostPort plus strconv.Atoi covers both cases and is the idiomatic choice.

♻️ Proposed refactor
 func parseRegistryHostPort(s string) (host string, port int) {
 	s = strings.TrimSpace(s)
 	if s == "" {
 		return "", 0
 	}
-	if idx := strings.LastIndex(s, ":"); idx > 0 {
-		h := s[:idx]
-		p := s[idx+1:]
-		n := 0
-		for _, c := range p {
-			if c < '0' || c > '9' {
-				return s, 443
-			}
-			n = n*10 + int(c-'0')
-		}
-		if n > 0 && n <= 65535 {
-			return h, n
-		}
-	}
-	return s, 443
+	h, p, err := net.SplitHostPort(s)
+	if err != nil {
+		return s, 443
+	}
+	n, err := strconv.Atoi(p)
+	if err != nil || n <= 0 || n > 65535 {
+		return h, 443

+	return h, n
 }

TestCheck_ControlPlaneFlagRunsChecks to run with --skip-cluster-validation, and
set NVCF_CLI_SELFHOSTED_SKIP_INOTIFY via t.Setenv in each test. Preserve the
existing JSONL parsing and category assertions.

In `@src/clis/nvcf-cli/cmd/self_hosted_check.go`:
- Around line 200-207: Update the registry credential setup block to run
whenever !localOnly, removing the clusterValidatorImage non-empty condition.
Continue obtaining extraRegistries and stackValuesFile, and pass the possibly
empty clusterValidatorImage to selfhosted.EnumerateRegistries so
global.image.registry and configured extras are checked independently of the
validator image.

In `@src/clis/nvcf-cli/internal/selfhosted/clustervalidator.go`:
- Around line 210-225: Confirm the validator’s namespace-wide write requirements
by tracing the operations used by the validator binary, especially namespace,
pod, service, and network-policy checks. If writes only target the probe
namespace, replace the cluster-wide permissions with namespace-scoped
Role/RoleBinding access while retaining required cluster-wide read permissions;
otherwise, add cleanup in the --cleanup flow to delete the validator ClusterRole
and ClusterRoleBinding after the run.
- Around line 145-150: Preserve the error from ensureClusterValidatorConfig in
the control-plane path instead of assigning it to _. Store a non-fatal config
note and append it to cleaned before every ClusterValidatorResult return, or
otherwise expose it through the result transcript, while retaining the wrapped
error context and continuing validation.

In `@src/clis/nvcf-cli/internal/selfhosted/preflight.go`:
- Around line 348-353: Ensure the registry-credentials category is constructed
and executed only once per command invocation, rather than once for each role
passed to RunPreflightForRole. Update buildCategories or the cmd-layer
orchestration around RunPreflightForRole to gate registry handling to a single
role/invocation while preserving all other role-specific categories and result
emission.
- Around line 687-690: Update the stale-namespace message construction around
r.Message to emit remediation hints per stale reason rather than one blanket
kubectl delete command. For “stuck Terminating,” direct operators to remove
namespace finalizers; for “no Helm release,” provide a cautious
inspection/removal hint that does not imply force-deleting the namespace.
Preserve the stale namespace names and counts in the output.

In `@src/clis/nvcf-cli/internal/selfhosted/registry_cred.go`:

ports and correctly handle IPv6 and trailing-colon inputs. In
src/clis/nvcf-cli/internal/selfhosted/registry_cred.go lines 172-178, update the

the parsed port when it is not 443, allowing probeRegistryCredential to use the
correct URL. In src/clis/nvcf-cli/internal/selfhosted/clustervalidator.go lines
386-408, replace the manual parsing in parseRegistryHostPort with

- Around line 95-108: The probeRegistryCredential flow must require configured
credentials for critical registry entries before accepting a successful

critical status before returning success, while preserving the existing
rejected-credentials error for configured credentials and the anonymous-token
behavior for non-critical entries.

In `@src/clis/nvcf-cli/internal/selfhosted/stale_namespace.go`:
- Around line 103-111: Update the Secret List call in the stale namespace check
to set ListOptions.Limit to 1, since only existence is required. Add a concise

and may report namespaces using configmap or SQL storage as having no Helm
release.

- Around line 334-343: Trim whitespace from unquoted parameter values in the
parsing branch of the validator, before assigning or using val. Preserve the
existing comma splitting and empty-params behavior, while ensuring values such
as service after a comma are passed without leading spaces.
- Around line 218-229: Validate the realm URL before applying credentials in the
request flow around credentialsForRegistry: parse the realm and reject it unless
it uses HTTPS and has an acceptable host for the registry authentication
endpoint. Ensure this validation occurs before req.SetBasicAuth, so credentials
are never sent to HTTP or unrelated hosts.

deploy/stacks/self-managed/environments/local.yaml only as the fallback when no
override is configured.

In `@src/clis/nvcf-cli/internal/selfhosted/clustervalidator_test.go`:

the generated container environment contains that value under VALIDATOR_ROLE.
Keep the existing shape assertions and ensure the test covers role propagation

… stale namespace

isNGCRegistry: use dot-boundary host matching and strip port before comparing
so evilnvcr.io and nvidia.com.invalid are rejected while nvcr.io:443 and
stg.nvcr.io are correctly accepted.

parseWWWAuthenticate: accept Bearer challenge schemes case-insensitively
using strings.EqualFold after splitting scheme from parameters on whitespace
(RFC 7235 requires case-insensitive scheme comparison).

probeStaleNamespaces: fall back to listing owner=helm ConfigMaps when no
owner=helm Secret exists, so clusters running HELM_DRIVER=configmap are not
incorrectly reported as empty shells.

stale_namespace_test.go: replace non-ASCII em dashes in comments with ASCII
hyphens per repo style guidelines.

273-290: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Restrict the NGC fallback to NGC registries.

exchangeBearerToken calls this function when a registry provides no parseable realm or an invalid realm. ngcCredentials can then select NGC_API_KEY without checking the registry host. A non-NGC registry can trigger this fallback and receive the API key at its /proxy_auth endpoint.

Reject non-NGC registries before calling ngcCredentials. Add a regression test that verifies a malformed or absent challenge for a non-NGC registry does not issue a fallback request.

Proposed fix
 func exchangeNGCBearerToken(ctx context.Context, client *http.Client, registry, repo string) (string, error) {
+	if !isNGCRegistry(registry) {
+		return "", fmt.Errorf("refusing NGC token exchange for non-NGC registry %s", registry)

Close the token response before using the fallback.

defer resp.Body.Close() runs only when exchangeBearerToken returns. When the realm exchange fails for an NGC registry, the function starts exchangeNGCBearerToken while the first response body remains open. Close the body before the fallback and before returning the error. This prevents unnecessary connection retention during concurrent checks.

Proposed fix
 	resp, err := client.Do(req)
 	if err != nil {
 		return "", err
 	}

137-182: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add structured observability for the new authentication sequence.

This change adds an anonymous registry request, a token request, and an authenticated retry. The changed code has no structured logs or RED metrics for these requests. Add request, function, cluster, and organization context fields. Use bounded metric labels. Do not log credentials, tokens, or response bodies.

As per path instructions, Go request-handling changes must add logs, tracing, and RED metrics per AGENTS.md.

- Around line 337-340: Strengthen the non-NGC rejection test around
exchangeNGCBearerToken by configuring a deterministic test credential and
replacing the client transport with a spy RoundTripper whose RoundTrip fails if
called. Keep the existing error assertions, ensuring the test verifies rejection
occurs before any HTTP request.

- Around line 239-250: Update exchangeBearerToken so resp.Body is closed
immediately after the non-OK status is detected, before calling
exchangeNGCBearerToken or returning the status error; avoid relying on the
deferred close for this response while preserving the existing
successful-response handling.
- Around line 323-367: The parseWWWAuthenticate function currently matches
authentication parameter names case-sensitively, so mixed-case Realm, Service,
or Scope values are ignored. Normalize key before the switch, then add coverage
for mixed-case parameter names while preserving the existing parsed values and
fallback behavior.

226-237: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Restrict credential forwarding to authorized token realms.

Lines 201-207 validate only the scheme and presence of a host. Line 235 then obtains registry credentials, and Line 236 sends them to that realm. A registry can return an HTTPS realm on an attacker-controlled host and receive Docker or NGC credentials.

Before req.SetBasicAuth, authorize u.Hostname() for the registry. Allow the registry host and documented delegated token hosts only. Do not trust an arbitrary HTTPS realm.
