Summary

Removes the verification-retry mechanism from the agentic operator (OLS-3817, part of epic OLS-3816). When an AgenticRun's verification step fails, the operator now escalates directly instead of re-executing remediation. Execution runs exactly once per analysis iteration.

Behavior follows .ai/spec/what/run-lifecycle.md (rules 7, 8, 9, 76), approval.md (rule 18), and crd-api.md: verification failure sets Verified=False (reason VerificationFailed) + Escalated=Unknown (reason VerificationFailed), deriving phase Escalating. The escalation summary is still assembled from the execution result plus the failed verification result.

Changes

  • Controller: handleVerification escalates on failure instead of retrying; removed retry-related error constants.
  • DerivePhase: Verified=FalseFailed; dropped RetryingExecution / RetriesExhausted reason constants.
  • CRD field removals (breaking):
    • maxAttemptsApprovalPolicy and AgenticRunApproval.execution (+ CEL immutability rule, NewApprovalStage param, CLI, samples)
    • retryCountAgenticRun status
    • retryIndexExecutionResult and VerificationResult (was +required)
  • Regenerated CRD YAML, RBAC, and deepcopy.
  • e2e: new TestVerificationFlow_FailureEscalatesSingleExecution; mock agent returns a failing verification for the sentinel namespace e2e-verify-fail.
  • Docs: lifecycle text + residual sweep (quickstart/Tekton scripts, developer guide).

Preserved intentionally (OLS-3819 scope): the EmitVerificationRetry audit method and its audit.verification.retry / agenticrun.verification.retry events.

⚠️ Breaking CRD change

retryIndex was +required on ExecutionResult/VerificationResult, and maxAttempts existed on ApprovalPolicy/AgenticRunApproval. On an upgraded cluster, existing objects with these fields set will have them pruned on next write. The team decided on a clean test cluster (no live migration). Downstream consumers to alert: console (OLS-3915) and any GitOps still emitting maxAttempts.

Testing

  • make test, make api-lint, make build green; make manifests clean (no drift).
  • e2e test compiles under -tags e2e but was not run here (no cluster). This PR is verified together with the rest of epic OLS-3816 on a live cluster.
  • Operational: the mock-agent image + SandboxTemplate must be rebuilt/republished before the in-cluster make test-e2e run (new sentinel-namespace branch in test/agent/main.go).

maxAttempts configured execution retries that no longer exist after
verification failure now escalates immediately. Removes the field from
ApprovalPolicy.spec and AgenticRunApproval.spec.stages[].execution, its
immutability CEL rule, the now-dead maxAttempts() controller helper,
and the maxAttempts parameter of NewApprovalStage. Updates all callers,
test fixtures, samples, and regenerates CRD manifests.
Fix the stale "Executing" phase description in AGENTS.md (CLAUDE.md is a
symlink to it) to describe direct escalation instead of the removed
retry loop.

Final residual-reference sweep for the retry mechanism turned up
leftover references outside the removal plan's scope, fixed here:
- docs/component-developer-guide.md: drop maxAttempts from example
  AgenticRun YAML and the AgenticRunSpec struct doc comment; correct
  the Failed/Escalated phase descriptions (verification failure
  escalates immediately and produces an EscalationResult, not a
  retry-exhausted child run).
- hack/quickstart/deploy-operator.sh and
  .tekton/integration-tests/scripts/install-operator.sh: drop the
  maxAttempts field from example ApprovalPolicy YAML (field no longer
  exists on the CRD).
- cli/run/testutil_test.go: replace the stale "MaxRetriesExhausted"
  fixture reason with the real "Complete" reason used for the
  Escalated condition.

The OLS-3819-scoped EmitVerificationRetry audit method and its
retryCount/verification.retry events remain untouched, as intended.
Whole-branch review flagged surviving test comments/messages that still
describe retries/exhaustion, though the assertions already verify the
escalate-directly behavior. Cosmetic-only; no logic change.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable retention duration and terminal timestamp tracking for completed runs.
  • Behavior Changes

    • Verification failures now escalate directly instead of retrying.
    • Removed retry-related fields, display information, and approval attempt limits.

Walkthrough

The change removes execution and verification retries, routes verification failures directly to escalation, removes retry-index fields, and adds per-run terminal retention tracking through TTLAfterTerminal and TerminalTime.

Changes

Verification lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
API contracts and lifecycle state
api/v1alpha1/..., AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md
The API removes retry fields and reasons. Verification failures use ReasonVerificationFailed and enter escalation. TTLAfterTerminal and TerminalTime track terminal retention.
Controller escalation and result flow
controller/agenticrun/..., cli/run/...
Failed verification updates Verified=False and Escalated=Unknown atomically. Result creation no longer populates retry indexes. Approval-stage construction no longer accepts maxAttempts.
Controller and API validation
api/v1alpha1/*_test.go, controller/agenticrun/*_test.go
Tests replace retry scenarios with direct escalation checks and simulate asynchronous results through fake clients.
Integration coverage and lifecycle documentation
test/agent/*, test/e2e/..., docs/component-developer-guide.md
End-to-end coverage validates failed verification, escalation conditions, and one execution. Documentation describes Escalating and terminal retention.
Retry configuration removal
.tekton/..., config/samples/..., examples/..., hack/...
Approval policy and result samples no longer configure retry limits or retry indexes.

Adversarial review (OLS-3817)

Controller behavior matches the ticket: verification failure escalates, execution runs once, retry CRD fields are gone, tests assert a single ExecutionResult. That part is fine.

The residual sweep is not. User-facing retry language is still in the architecture diagram (not in this diff — ARCHITECTURE.md still has Verifying --> Executing: verification fails (retry)) and in CRD OpenAPI text. EscalationStepStatus still says the operator injects the step "when retries are exhausted". In-flight Verified=False/RetryingExecution runs become Failed via handleFailed and never produce an EscalationResult — the clean-cluster note covers field pruning, not this path.

Workspace spec ols/.ai/spec/what/agentic-runs.md and console RetryingExecution still describe the old loop (OLS-3915). PR is do-not-merge/work-in-progress.

Requesting changes on the leftovers below. ACs are met; these are should-fix, not a rewrite.

should-fix: Verified=False with no Escalated condition now derives Failed, and reconcile sends that to handleFailed (terminal cleanup).

A run left in the old retry-in-progress state (Verified=False/RetryingExecution, no Escalated) will never escalate and will never get an EscalationResult. The clean-cluster decision covers CRD field pruning, not this live-run path.

A small shim — if Verified=False and Escalated is unset, set Escalated=Unknown/VerificationFailed — would convert leftovers onto the new path instead of killing them.

should-fix: TestVerificationFlow_FailureEscalatesSingleExecution will create ls-escalation-<name> claims/pods. This helper still only deletes analysis/execution/verification leftovers (ls-analysis-* / ls-execution-* / ls-verification-*). Escalation is the prefix left out of the same-name recreate window this cleanup exists to close.

Add deleteSandboxClaim / deleteBarePod for ls-escalation- + name.

Apply mechanical review fixes from the PR openshift#450 review and add an upgrade
shim so runs stranded mid-retry by a previous operator version escalate
instead of stranding.

Review fixes (CodeRabbit + human):
- Introduce ReasonVerificationFailed const; replace the "VerificationFailed"
  string literals in handlers.go and all tests with it.
- Use spanCtx (not ctx) for the verification-failure statusPatch.
- Correct stale godoc/docs: retry-era wording in condition/status godoc,
  ARCHITECTURE.md state diagram, component-developer-guide (RevisionFeedback,
  results-based failure inspection), and MD040 fences in the plan.
- e2e: assert the Escalated reason (Unknown/VerificationFailed or
  True/Complete), treat only NotFound as a benign poll miss, and clean up
  the escalation sandbox claim/pod.

Upgrade shim (reconciler.go):
- A leftover Verified=False/RetryingExecution run with no Escalated condition
  now maps to Failed under the new DerivePhase, which would strand it. The
  shim writes Escalated=Unknown/VerificationFailed to route it onto the
  escalation path. The reason match is narrow so genuine system failures
  (reason "Failed") stay terminal.

Adversarial review — PASS (score 97/100)

Reviewed against the committed plan's Global Constraints (the PR's acceptance criteria) plus a clean read of the diff at head. 6/7 criteria PASS, 1 NEEDS_REVIEW only because make manifests cleanliness can't be re-verified without a build.

Solid: the escalate-on-verification-failure behavior is correct and well-covered (unit + e2e assert a single ExecutionResult); the residual-symbol sweep is clean except the intentionally deferred EmitVerificationRetry (OLS-3819); the upgrade shim is placed correctly (after deletion handling) and is functionally correct because DerivePhase checks Escalated before Executed/Verified.

Two minor findings, both verified adversarially — neither is a functional bug.

1. should-fix — migration unit test doesn't reproduce the real stranded state

controller/agenticrun/reconciler_test.goTestReconcile_MigratesLeftoverRetryRunToEscalation

The test builds the "leftover from a previous operator version" state with Executed=True/Complete present. But the deleted retry code called meta.RemoveStatusCondition(..., Executed) immediately before persisting Verified=False/RetryingExecution, so the genuine stranded state has no Executed condition. The test still passes (because DerivePhase evaluates Escalated=Unknown — which the shim writes — before it ever inspects Executed), so it's not masking a bug. But the test's stated purpose is to reproduce the migration scenario, and it validates a condition set that never occurs on a real upgraded cluster. Suggest dropping the Executed condition from the fixture so it faithfully matches the leftover state.

2. nice-to-have — migrated run keeps an orphan Verified reason

controller/agenticrun/reconciler.go (upgrade shim)

The shim writes Escalated=Unknown/VerificationFailed but leaves the existing Verified=False condition untouched, so a migrated run permanently carries Verified=False with reason "RetryingExecution" — a value the shim's own comment describes as historical and "no current code writes." Phase derivation (routes on Escalated) and escalation-summary building (reads the Result CRs) are unaffected, so it's purely an observability inconsistency. Consider normalizing the Verified reason to VerificationFailed in the shim, matching the fresh-failure path.

Not defects (acknowledged in the PR)

  • e2e TestVerificationFlow_FailureEscalatesSingleExecution not run (no cluster); mock-agent image + SandboxTemplate must be rebuilt for the sentinel-namespace branch before the in-cluster run.
  • Breaking CRD change (retryIndex was +required; maxAttempts removed) — clean-test-cluster decision; retryIndex lives on spec-immutable Result CRs so existing objects aren't rewritten/pruned mid-life.
  • Console SYNC contract for the removed reason constants is tracked by OLS-3915.

183-190: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use the AgenticRun UID in the execution-result selector.

createExecutionResult sets agentic.openshift.io/run to string(run.UID). This selector uses prop.Name, so it returns zero results and fails the new e2e test even when execution ran once.

Proposed fix
- client.MatchingLabels{"agentic.openshift.io/run": prop.Name}
+ client.MatchingLabels{"agentic.openshift.io/run": string(updated.UID)}

Check SandboxTemplate fixture creation errors.

Both calls discard fc.Create errors. If fixture creation fails, tests can continue without the required SandboxTemplate and report misleading failures.

  • controller/agenticrun/sandbox_agent_test.go#L209-L209: fail the test immediately when fixture creation fails.

Pass run.Namespace when creating AgenticRunApproval.

The controller watches runs cluster-wide but passes its operator namespace (r.Namespace). Runs outside that namespace receive approvals in the wrong namespace, so users cannot find them and the cross-namespace owner reference does not support garbage collection or Owns() mapping.

Handle cleanup API errors explicitly.

The initial and post-timeout c.Get calls treat every error as “not found” or “deleted.” The polling callback returns success for every c.Get error. c.Delete and c.Update also discard errors. A Forbidden or transport error can hide leaked resources and trigger incorrect finalizer stripping. Treat only apierrors.IsNotFound(err) as deletion, and report all other errors.

Restore BlockOwnerDeletion on the owner reference.

agenticRunOwnerRef sets Controller: true but omits BlockOwnerDeletion. The coding guidelines require both on child owner references. Every result CR and the input ConfigMap use this helper, so the cascade guarantee is now weaker: the AgenticRun can finish deletion before the garbage collector removes the children.

♻️ Proposed change
 func agenticRunOwnerRef(run *agenticv1alpha1.AgenticRun) metav1.OwnerReference {
 	return metav1.OwnerReference{
 		APIVersion: "agentic.openshift.io/v1alpha1",

controller/agenticrun/pod_handler.go (1)

86-92: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Re-read the run inside the lock; the guard is a TOCTOU.

stepCondMu serializes the body of completeStep, but the run snapshot is fetched before the lock. handlePodEvent reads the run at Line 50 and the timeout loop reads it at Line 294. Both can observe the step condition as Unknown, then enter completeStep one after the other. The second caller re-checks its own stale copy at Line 90, passes the guard, and completes the step a second time.

Consequences of the double completion:

  • appendResultRef adds a duplicate StepResultRef for the same result CR.
  • patchStepResult patches from a stale base, so the duplicate ref persists.
  • Audit.CompleteStep and releaseSandbox run twice.

Refresh the run from the API server after acquiring the lock, then apply the guard.

🔒 Proposed fix
 func (r *AgenticRunReconciler) completeStep(ctx context.Context, run *agenticv1alpha1.AgenticRun, pod *corev1.Pod, step, condType, timeoutMsg string) error {
 	stepCondMu.Lock()
 	defer stepCondMu.Unlock()
 
+	// Re-read under the lock: the caller's snapshot predates the lock, so a
+	// concurrent pod event and timeout tick can both see the step in progress.
+	if err := r.Get(ctx, client.ObjectKeyFromObject(run), run); err != nil {
+		return client.IgnoreNotFound(err)
+	}

 	if c := meta.FindStatusCondition(run.Status.Conditions, condType); c != nil && c.Status != metav1.ConditionUnknown {

Use a per-step ConfigMap name. createInputConfigMap ignores AlreadyExists, so a later step can reuse stale input data. Release deletes only the pod or claim, and owner-reference garbage collection is asynchronous; the next sandbox can start before the ConfigMap is deleted.

307-307: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Scope the Pod cache to the operator namespace. ctrl.NewManager has no cache.Options, so the Pod cache and watch are cluster-wide. A predicate filters handler dispatch but does not reduce cached Pods; use a namespace-scoped Pod informer or cache selector. Also, handlePodEvent looks up runName only in r.Namespace, while AgenticRun objects are created in workload namespaces, so completion events for those runs are ignored.

65-72: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Discarded error returns in three changed paths. Each site drops an error without a log or an explicit ignore, so a transient API failure degrades behavior silently. The shared fix is to record the error and mark intentional ignores.

  • controller/agenticrun/pod_handler.go#L65-L72: assign the patchStepCondition result to _ and add a comment that the timeout loop retries the step.
  • controller/agenticrun/handlers.go#L284-L294: invert the err == nil check and log the ExecutionResult lookup failure before verifying without execution context.
  • controller/agenticrun/reconciler.go#L281-L284: log the getTerminalTTL error before falling back to clusterTTL = nil.

- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to confirm failure.**

Run: `make test 2>&1 | tail -30`
Expected: FAIL — `DerivePhase` still maps `Verified=False/VerificationFailed` via the removed-reason path; and the api module will still compile (test uses string literals, not the consts).

Correct the expected failure in Task 2 Step 2.

With the DerivePhase implementation shown below, only ReasonRetryingExecution maps Verified=False to Executing. VerificationFailed already maps to Failed. The new tests therefore should not expect the stated DerivePhase failure.

Rebuild quay.io/openshift-lightspeed/ols-qe:lightspeed-mock-agent1 from this revision, or pass a PR-built image through SANDBOX_IMAGE. The e2e pipeline runs lightspeed-mock-agent1; test/e2e/helpers_test.go:410 supplies only the skills image. The repository does not rebuild or publish the sandbox image, so verifyFailNamespace is not linked to the executable used by this test.

to Escalating rather than Failed, and classify Escalating as non-terminal until

Remove the reconciler upgrade shim that converted leftover
Verified=False/RetryingExecution runs onto the escalation path. Backward
compatibility with pre-upgrade in-flight runs is not required, so the shim,
its ErrMigrateLeftoverToEscalation error, and its migration test go away.
reconciler.go is now identical to upstream -- escalation-on-verification-
failure lives entirely in pod_handler.go.

Also drop two redundant tests: TestReconcile_VerificationOutcomeFailed_Escalates
duplicated TestReconcile_VerificationObjectiveFailure_Escalates, and
TestManualApproval_VerificationFailEscalatesNoRetry was a weaker subset of
TestManualApproval_VerificationFailEscalates (which already proves no
re-execution via the ExecutionResult count).

The mock-agent Makefile built/pushed :lightspeed-mock-agent while the e2e
SandboxTemplate and pipeline pull :lightspeed-mock-agent1, so the documented
`make -C test/agent docker-build docker-push` updated the wrong tag and the
verification-failure sentinel never reached the cluster. Align the Makefile
IMAGE and the main.go image comment to the "1"-suffixed tag.

Also refresh the stale verification_test.go comment (referenced the removed
cannedResponse; the sentinel now lives in setStatus) and note that the mock
image must be rebuilt+pushed for the escalation e2e to observe a failure.
