Summary

Removes the retry-related audit/telemetry artifacts from the operator now that verification failure escalates instead of re-executing (OLS-3817). Part of epic OLS-3816.

  • Drops EmitVerificationRetry from the AuditLogger interface + production and no-op implementations.
  • Removes the audit.verification.retry structured log, the agenticrun.verification.retry span event, and its retry_count attribute.
  • No other span attributes referenced retries.

Dependency / stacking

⚠️ Stacked on #450 (OLS-3817). EmitVerificationRetry had no callers only because #450 removed the retry path; on main alone it is still wired in. This branch is based on the #450 branch, so until #450 merges the diff here also shows #450's commits. After #450 merges, this rebases to a single 3819 commit.

Testing

make build, make test, make api-lint all green. Behavioral verification happens as part of the epic-wide cluster test alongside #450 and the console PR.

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.

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.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
With the verification retry path gone (OLS-3817), the retry audit
artifacts are dead code. Remove them so telemetry matches actual
behavior:

- Drop EmitVerificationRetry from the AuditLogger interface and both
  the production and no-op implementations.
- Remove the audit.verification.retry structured log, the
  agenticrun.verification.retry span event, and its retry_count
  attribute.
- Drop the corresponding no-op logger test call.

No other span attributes referenced retries. Verification failure now
emits only the escalation path's events.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Verification failures now escalate immediately without retrying execution.
    • Added configurable retention time for completed runs.
    • Added migration handling for runs left in the previous retry state.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Removed obsolete retry tracking and approval attempt limits.
    • Updated lifecycle statuses and failure reasons to reflect escalation accurately.
  • Documentation

    • Updated lifecycle, architecture, and developer documentation for the revised failure flow.

Walkthrough

Changes

Verification failures now transition directly to escalation without execution retries. Retry-related status fields, result fields, approval-policy settings, audit attributes, helpers, manifests, documentation, and tests were removed or updated. Legacy retrying runs are migrated to escalation. End-to-end coverage validates one execution result.

Verification retry removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry-free API and lifecycle contracts
api/v1alpha1/...
Removed retry counters, retry indexes, retry reasons, approval-policy limits, and the constructor argument. Added terminal TTL fields and updated lifecycle contracts.
Immediate escalation controller flow
controller/agenticrun/...
Failed verification now sets Verified=False and Escalated=Unknown, emits completion auditing, and avoids re-execution. Legacy retrying runs receive migration status updates.
Callers, results, manifests, and documentation
.tekton/..., cli/run/..., docs/..., hack/..., AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md
Updated constructor callers, result creation, deployment examples, lifecycle documentation, and the implementation plan for the retry-free workflow.
End-to-end escalation validation
test/agent/main.go, test/e2e/...
Added a mock verification-failure namespace and an end-to-end test that confirms escalation and exactly one ExecutionResult.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1b511

The current head can lose terminal-TTL lookup failures and overwrite an administrator’s explicit TTL during a concurrent update, potentially causing runs to be retained incorrectly or deleted unexpectedly. These correctness and availability risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

659-699: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add negative coverage for the shim guard.

The shim's safety rests on its narrow match. Two cases are untested:

  1. Verified=False with reason Failed (a genuine system failure) must stay terminal and must not gain an Escalated condition.
  2. A run that already has an Escalated condition must not be re-patched or requeued by the shim.

Without these, a later widening of the condition at controller/agenticrun/reconciler.go lines 116-119 would silently resurrect terminal runs.

Align the planned condition reason with the test contract.

The plan tells tests to use VerificationFailed for escalated cases. cli/run/testutil_test.go uses Complete for terminal AgenticRunPhaseEscalated. Distinguish Escalated=Unknown/VerificationFailed during Escalating from Escalated=True/Complete during Escalated.

- [ ] **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).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the expected Task 2 failure.

The plan states that Verified=False/VerificationFailed still uses the removed retry path. The branch shown at Lines 210-219 special-cases only ReasonRetryingExecution; VerificationFailed already falls through to Failed. Change the expected result or use a case that exercises ReasonRetryingExecution.

Handle escalation cleanup errors.

deleteSandboxClaim and deleteBarePod discard client.Delete errors. These new calls treat authorization, transport, and API-server failures as successful cleanup. A stale escalation claim or pod can affect a later test run with the same name.

Return the delete error from both helpers. Ignore only apierrors.IsNotFound(err). Fail the test for other errors.

273-276: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not discard the terminal TTL lookup error.

If getTerminalTTL fails, this code treats the cluster TTL as absent. Terminal runs without spec.ttlAfterTerminal are then omitted from this fan-out and do not retry the lookup from this event. Log the error and enqueue unset-TTL terminal runs so handleTerminalTTL can retry.

As per path instructions, **/*.go: “Never ignore error returns”.

353-370: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Protect an explicit TTL from concurrent overwrite.

An administrator can set ttlAfterTerminal: 0 after the nil check. client.MergeFrom(original) does not enforce metadata.resourceVersion, so this patch can replace that value with clusterTTL and enable deletion. Re-read after a conflict and apply the default only when the latest object still has no TTL, using client.MergeFromWithOptions with client.MergeFromWithOptimisticLock{}.
