Investigate CI failures

[Jakob-Naucke]

GHA & openshift/release#79393 saw many random failures, most related to finalizer. Most recent run on the latter showed a resource apparently taking 4 minutes to patch. (Also) testing here for a faster feedback loop.

Summary by Sourcery

Integrate the trustee operator more tightly with an external KBS, switching from in-pod secret mounting to API-based secret and policy synchronization, updating trustee configuration and image versions, and enhancing logging and tests to diagnose and stabilize CI behavior.

New Features:

• Introduce JWT-based trustee admin authentication using Ed25519 keys stored in a Kubernetes Secret and wired into the KBS configuration.
• Add logic to push and delete machine disk-encryption secrets and attestation keys to the KBS via its API, including a controller to resynchronize them when the trustee deployment becomes available.
• Create a dedicated ConfigMap for reference values, plus sync routines to propagate them from Kubernetes to the KBS and to handle recomputation and resync on trustee restart.
• Add controllers and helpers to automatically synchronize resource and attestation policies with the KBS and to resync all machine LUKS keys when trustee comes up.

Bug Fixes:

• Avoid reliance on in-memory projected volumes for secret delivery by switching to KBS-backed storage, reducing chances of timing-related mount issues during rollout or deletion.],
• enhancements:[
• Enhance approved image reconciliation and machine/secret finalizers with additional logging and debug information around finalizer execution and cleanup decisions to aid CI failure investigation.
• Refine the reference value controller to watch related Jobs, log more details during reconcile, and simplify adoption logic by removing unused image adoption helpers.
• Update trustee integration tests to validate end-to-end synchronization of machine secrets and attestation keys with KBS across restarts, and add structured timestamped logging utilities for more traceable test output.
• Adjust trustee deployment labels, volumes, and config paths to align with the new KBS storage model and TLS behavior, including support for insecure HTTP mode when no certificate is present.

Build:

• Upgrade the default trustee image/tag to v0.20.0 and align Makefile, operator constants, and KBS configuration with the newer release.
• Switch the kube-rs dependency to a debug branch to gain better visibility into finalizer behavior during reconciliation.
• Enable the env_logger humantime feature to improve log readability in local and CI runs.

CI:

• Change the integration test GitHub Actions workflow to run a targeted attestation test with explicit image overrides and to always gather and upload must-gather diagnostics after the job.

Reviewer's Guide

Refactors the trustee operator to integrate directly with the KBS API (using JWT auth and kbs-client), replaces in‑pod volume-based secret and policy management with explicit sync controllers and config maps/secrets, updates Trustee/KBS configuration and versions, and extends tests and CI to validate LUKS key and attestation key resync behavior and aid debugging intermittent CI failures.

Refactor trustee reference values handling to use a dedicated ConfigMap and sync them directly to KBS.	Introduce TRUSTEE_RV_MAP ConfigMap and move reference-values.json storage there instead of trustee-data Make ReferenceValue serializable and deserializable and add helpers to recompute and sync reference values to KBS via kbs_client Add sync_reference_values_from_configmap used by trustee deployment reconcile loop Update image/job reconcile tests to expect TRUSTEE_RV_MAP and extra API calls for KBS sync	operator/src/trustee.rs operator/src/reference_values.rs operator/src/kbs-config.toml operator/src/main.rs operator/src/test_utils.rs tests/trusted_execution_cluster.rs
Introduce JWT-based admin auth for KBS and wire up kbs-client to manage secrets, resource policy, attestation policy, and attestation keys remotely instead of via volumes.	Add Ed25519 keypair generation and TRUSTEE_AUTH_SECRET Secret to hold public/private keys; JWTs issued with jsonwebtoken/jsonwebtoken-openssl Change KBS config to use AuthenticatedAuthorization and LocalJson storage backend under TRUSTEE_STORAGE_DIR Replace mount_secret/unmount_secret and projected volume AK wiring with send_secret/delete_secret/register_ak using kbs_client Add sync_resource_policy and sync_attestation_policy sending rego files over KBS admin API Update attestation_key_register flows to call update_attestation_keys(client) which pushes AKs to KBS rather than patching the trustee Deployment	operator/src/trustee.rs operator/src/kbs-config.toml operator/src/main.rs operator/src/register_server.rs operator/src/attestation_key_register.rs operator/Cargo.toml Cargo.toml operator/src/tpm.rego operator/src/test_utils.rs
Introduce a trustee sync controller to react to trustee Deployment availability and resynchronize state with KBS after restarts.	Add launch_trustee_sync_controller that watches Deployments labeled with TRUSTEE_APP_LABEL and runs trustee_deployment_reconcile In trustee_deployment_reconcile, on Available=True, sequentially sync resource policy, attestation policy, reference values from ConfigMap, all machine LUKS keys, and attestation keys to KBS; requeue on failures Label the trustee Deployment with TRUSTEE_APP_LABEL in generate_kbs_deployment and adjust selector accordingly	operator/src/trustee.rs operator/src/main.rs
Change machine keygen flow from mounting secrets into the trustee pod to pushing/removing secrets in KBS, with clearer finalizer logging and deletion behavior.	Keygen finalizer now calls generate_secret then send_secret on apply, and delete_secret on cleanup instead of mounting/unmounting volumes into the trustee Deployment Add logging to keygen_reconcile before and after finalizer() for debugging stuck finalizers and cleanups Ensure machine cleanup skips KBS deletion if TrustedExecutionCluster is terminating or missing	operator/src/register_server.rs operator/src/trustee.rs
Enhance attestation key handling to register AKs in KBS and ensure they are resynced after trustee restarts, and update the OPA policy to check trusted AKs.	update_attestation_keys now lists Secret objects owned by AttestationKey, extracts public_key values, and calls register_ak (kbs_client) instead of mutating the trustee Deployment tpm.rego now requires input.tpm.ak_public to be in trusted_aks reference value Add unit tests for update_attestation_keys success/empty/deleting/error paths and for Ed25519 key generation; extend helper functions to build dummy machines, AK secrets, and trustee auth secrets	operator/src/trustee.rs operator/src/attestation_key_register.rs operator/src/tpm.rego operator/src/test_utils.rs
Add integration tests for LUKS key sync and attestation key sync across trustee restarts, and make logging more structured and timestamped.	New tests in trusted_execution_cluster.rs exercise LUKS key KBS sync on machine creation, trustee restart resync, and deletion, and similar flows for attestation key registration and resync Extend TestContext with wait_for_deployment_ready helper and prepend timestamps to test_info/test_warn output Adjust existing integration tests to use TRUSTEE_RV_MAP instead of trustee-data for reference values and ensure teardown waits for RV ConfigMap deletion	tests/trusted_execution_cluster.rs test_utils/src/lib.rs
Update versions and CI pipeline to use newer Trustee image/config and to focus integration CI on the attestation test with better debug artifacts.	Bump TRUSTEE_VERSION and default TRUSTEE_IMAGE to v0.20.0 and align KBS configuration with new API (jwt admin, kvstorage, LocalJson storage) Switch kube dependency to a debug branch finalizer-dbg to gain additional finalizer diagnostics Modify integration-tests GitHub workflow to generate CRDs, run a focused attestation test with verbose logging, and always collect and upload must-gather artifacts	operator/src/main.rs Makefile operator/src/kbs-config.toml .github/workflows/integration-tests.yml Cargo.toml Cargo.lock
