fix(k8s): activate the Headlamp user-namespace mapping probe - #2958
Merged
Conversation
Uncomments the disposable userns-headlamp-mapping-probe component so the merge-queue deploy runs the Job once and produces the subordinate UID/GID mapping reading that platform#2651 acceptance criterion 5 has been waiting on since 15 July. Activation stopped being a watched act when #2954 landed: the probe now reports a USERNS-PROBE-VERDICT= log line and always exits 0, so its own designed negative result (the identity map) can no longer take the apps Flux Kustomization not-Ready. The staged-component test arm is inverted rather than deleted, so the activation is an asserted fact for the life of this PR. A commented-out entry would deploy nothing while CI stayed green, which is a green run over a measurement that was never taken.

How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews. How do review limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability. For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Learning: When reviewing Kustomize/Helm YAML in this repo, keep the base vs provider overlay split: `k8s/bases/apps/**` and `k8s/bases/infrastructure/**` should contain each app’s full, environment-agnostic configuration (including base-level postRenderer Kustomize patches such as deployment strategy, topology spread, probes, and env injection). `k8s/providers/{docker,hetzner}/**` should only add small provider-specific deltas (e.g., `interval`, `persistence.size`) via patch files (like `k8s/providers/<provider>/apps/<app>/patches/helm-release-patch.yaml`). If configuration is identical across providers (e.g., OIDC/OAuth env vars where `${domain}` is resolved per cluster via envsubst), it belongs in the base and must not be duplicated into provider overlays.

23-35: LGTM!
`\.?/?` is three optional forms rather than two, so the arm also matched `- .userns-headlamp-mapping-probe/` (a differently-named hidden directory) and `- /userns-headlamp-mapping-probe/` (an absolute path kustomize rejects) — either would satisfy the assertion without the intended local component being referenced. Differential over the accepted-form domain: the change flips exactly those four invalid spellings and preserves every valid one, including the trailing-comment and no-trailing-slash forms, and the commented-out entry still correctly fails the arm.

CodeRabbit did review the previous head and raised one 🟡 Minor, which is fixed in 1819150 and its thread resolved; that fix is the only delta between the reviewed head and this one. This round covers the whole change.
What I checked
- The change is a no-op unless the Job actually renders.
kubectl kustomize k8s/providers/hetzner/apps/emits the Job withhostUsers: false. Worth stating explicitly becausekubectl kustomize k8s/clusters/prod/does not contain it — that overlay is the Flux bootstrap, and the apps layer is reconciled from its own path. Validating the wrong overlay here would have produced a confident green over nothing. - Admission. Simulated the two
EnforceClusterPolicies that cover theheadlampnamespace against a Pod rebuilt from the shipped template: 5 rules evaluated, 0 failures. A deliberately non-compliant control (allowPrivilegeEscalation: true) fails, so that pass discriminates rather than being an empty run. - Both overlays validate.
ksail --config ksail.prod.yaml workload validateexits 0 with no findings. - The image is not new to production. The identical busybox digest is already pulled by
userns-longhorn-smokeand by the Cilium chart. - The new assertion really ran in CI, rather than the job merely being green: step
🔬 Validate the user-namespace mapping probe→conclusion=success, and its log carries✅ probe is active in the apps kustomization for this activation PR/passed: 35 failed: 0. - The inverted arm still discriminates — re-commenting the entry fails it, an unreadable parent fails the fail-closed branch, and the two invalid spellings CodeRabbit named now fail it too.
Residual risk, stated rather than implied
The apps Flux Kustomization runs wait: true with no explicit healthChecks, so any Job that reports Failed takes the layer not-Ready. #2954 removed the probe's own negative result as a cause, and that is the only cause it removed: an image-pull failure, an unschedulable pod (the probe has a requiredDuringScheduling affinity to headlamp's node), or exceeding activeDeadlineSeconds: 300 would still fail the Job. That is true of every resource in this overlay and is documented in the manifest; it is the reason this PR is deliberately short-lived.
Verdict: no P0/P1 findings. One nit inline.

Readiness — what I exercised, and the one thing that is inherently post-mergeProgrammatically tested. RED first: with the entry uncommented, the pre-existing "probe stays staged" arm failed and nothing else did (34 pass / 1 fail), so the guard was real and my edit actually landed. GREEN after inverting it: 35/35. Then both directions ablated — re-commenting the entry fires the arm, an unreadable parent fires the fail-closed branch with its own distinct message, and each of the two invalid path spellings fires it too. Tried and evaluated as a user. I did not infer that this works, I ran it:
One check is worth calling out because it nearly went the other way: What cannot be evaluated before merge. The actual reading — whether the pod receives a non-identity subordinate mapping — only exists once the deploy runs the Job. That is the entire point of the PR, so this is not a gap in the evaluation; it is the deliverable. Post-merge I will capture the completed Job's log, put the |

Why
Headlamp has been running with user namespaces enabled in production since 28 July, and every acceptance criterion on #2651 has been verified live except one: that the pod actually receives a non-identity subordinate UID/GID mapping. That is the criterion the whole pilot exists to answer — whether this cluster's kubelet honours the setting at all, or silently leaves the pod in the host user namespace.
It has been parked since 15 July for a reason that is now gone. Taking the reading needs a probe Job, and a failing Job used to take the entire
appslayer not-Ready — including when it failed for the right reason, by reporting the identity map it was sent to look for. That made activation a "watched act", and no scheduled run is watched, so it was never going to happen.#2954 removed that: the probe now reports its reading as a log line and always exits successfully, so it can no longer wedge the layer it is measuring.
What
Turns the probe on for one deploy. The merge-queue deploy runs the Job once, its log is recorded on #2651, and then #2858 removes the component again — nothing here is meant to survive.
The test that used to insist the probe stay off is inverted rather than deleted, so the activation is checked rather than assumed. Left out, a mistakenly-still-disabled probe would deploy nothing while CI stayed green: a passing run over a measurement that was never taken.
Operational note for the merge: this deploys a short-lived Job into the
headlampnamespace. Headlamp itself is untouched — no chart, values, or volume change.Part of #2651. Follow-up cleanup: #2858.
