What this does

When infra-operator rotates a RabbitMQ transport URL (creating a new secret and user), watcher must hold a consumer finalizer on the old secret until all its pods have rolled out with the new credentials. Without this, infra-operator cleans up the old RabbitMQ user while pods are still connected with the old credentials, causing message-bus outages. The same guarantee is needed for the notification transport URL and the application-credential (AC) secret.

Structure

#434 (Correlate Watcher readiness with applied input) has merged. This PR is now rebased directly on main.

  • Correlate Watcher readiness with applied input #434 added AppliedInputSecretHash to the sub-CRs and releases the AC consumer finalizer only once every sub-service has provably rolled out (allServicesReady: Generation == ObservedGeneration && AppliedInputSecretHash matches && sub-CR ready).
  • This PR extends the same guarantee to the transport URL and notification transport URL secrets, reusing the new lib-common rotation helpers.

Approach

  1. Add a openstack.org/watcher-transport-consumer finalizer to the current transport URL secret (and the notification transport URL secret when notifications are enabled) early in reconcile, via object.ManageSecretConsumerFinalizer. Status.TransportURLSecret / Status.NotificationsTransportURLSecret are set for first-time setup only; during rotation they are updated solely by FinalizeSecretRotation at the end of reconcile.

  2. At the end of reconcile, release the old secret's finalizer with object.FinalizeSecretRotation, guarded by the existing allServicesReady correlation. The transport, notification and AC secrets share the same guard, so nothing is released until every child is fully rolled out with the new credentials.

  3. When notifications are disabled, remove the finalizer from the tracked notification secret and clear the status.

  4. Use the lib-common statefulset.IsReadyForInput helper in the sub-CR controllers instead of the local statefulSetReadyForInput.

Dependency

Uses the lib-common IsReadyForInput / FinalizeSecretRotation helpers (currently pinned via a replace to the fork commit while the lib-common PR is in review).

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Watcher status now reports the active transport URL and notifications transport URL secrets.

    • Notifications secret protections are removed when notifications are disabled.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved deployment readiness checks for more reliable reconciliation and service startup.

Walkthrough

Changes

Watcher transport secret rotation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transport secret status contract
api/v1beta1/watcher_types.go, api/bases/..., config/crd/bases/..., internal/watcher/constants.go
Watcher status now records transport and notifications transport secret names. The shared consumer finalizer constant identifies secrets consumed by Watcher.
Transport secret finalizer lifecycle
internal/controller/watcher_controller.go
The controller adds finalizers, tracks secret references, removes notification finalizers when disabled, and finalizes rotations after services become ready.
Shared StatefulSet readiness integration
internal/controller/watcher*controller.go, api/go.mod, go.mod
Deployment readiness checks use statefulset.IsReadyForInput with APIReader. Module versions are updated.
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4498b

Watcher deletion does not currently remove the new transport-secret finalizers, which can leave generated Secrets stuck terminating and block cleanup. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed before merging.

i would be fine wiht moving forward with this version.

we may consdier if we shuld have kuttl tests to actully do a rotation but for now i think this is sufficent

Builds on "Correlate Watcher readiness with applied input" (openstack-k8s-operators#434), which
adds AppliedInputSecretHash to the sub-CRs and releases the application-
credential consumer finalizer only once every sub-service has provably
rolled out. This commit extends the same guarantee to the RabbitMQ
transport URL and notification transport URL secrets, so infra-operator
cannot revoke a transport credential still in use by running pods.

Changes:

1. Add a openstack.org/watcher-transport-consumer finalizer to the current
   transport URL secret (and the notification transport URL secret when
   notifications are enabled) early in reconcile, via
   object.ManageSecretConsumerFinalizer. Status.TransportURLSecret /
   Status.NotificationsTransportURLSecret are set for first-time setup only;
   during rotation they are updated solely by FinalizeSecretRotation.

2. At the end of reconcile, release the old secret's finalizer with
   object.FinalizeSecretRotation, guarded by the existing allServicesReady
   correlation (Generation == ObservedGeneration && AppliedInputSecretHash
   matches && sub-CR ready). The transport and AC secrets share the same
   guard, so nothing is released until every child is rolled out.

3. When notifications are disabled, remove the finalizer from the tracked
   notification secret and clear the status.

4. Use the lib-common statefulset.IsReadyForInput helper in the sub-CR
   controllers instead of the local statefulSetReadyForInput, and pin
   lib-common to the fork commit carrying IsReadyForInput /
   FinalizeSecretRotation while the lib-common PR is in review.
