FinalizeSecretRotation only ever releases the single tracked "old" secret. During rapid rotation (A -> B -> C before the workload becomes ready) the consumer finalizer can be added to an intermediate secret the workload never applies, and that finalizer then leaks: it blocks deletion of the Secret and revocation of the associated backend credential.

Add PruneSecretConsumerFinalizers, which removes a consumer finalizer from every secret in a namespace except those the caller enumerates as legitimately holding it (keep). It is idempotent and safe to call every reconcile. Assumes a single consumer of the finalizer per namespace, which holds for OpenStackControlPlane-managed service singletons.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added cleanup for stale Secret consumer finalizers while preserving finalizers on specified Secrets.
    • Empty keep names and Secrets without the target finalizer are safely ignored.
    • Repeated cleanup operations are idempotent.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Errors encountered while listing or updating Secrets are now reported and stop processing.

Secret finalizer pruning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Secret finalizer pruning implementation
modules/common/object/metadata.go
Adds PruneSecretConsumerFinalizers. The method lists namespace Secrets, preserves kept or non-finalized Secrets, removes the target finalizer from other Secrets, and returns list or removal errors.
Pruning behavior validation
modules/common/object/metadata_test.go
Tests stale finalizer removal, kept Secret preservation, empty keep names, non-finalized Secrets, and list error propagation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 03fdf

The PR adds cleanup logic but does not call it during reconciliation, so leaked consumer finalizers can still block Secret deletion and credential revocation; merge should wait for the reconciliation integration or explicit owner acceptance.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Invoke the helper from reconciliation.

This cohort adds PruneSecretConsumerFinalizers and direct tests only. It adds no production reconciliation call site. Finalizers will not be pruned in a running controller.

After the reconciler computes the complete namespace keep set, call this helper on every reconciliation path.
