fix(nvca): preserve unrelated namespace metadata during reconciliation - #1950
Conversation
createOrUpdateNamespace read the live Namespace and discarded it, then passed NVCA's sparse desired object to Update. That replaced the stored object, so any label or annotation NVCA does not set was dropped, along with finalizers and owner references. On a GitOps-managed cluster this removed tracking and lifecycle annotations on every reconcile, leaving persistent drift. Both the system-namespace and requests-namespace paths were affected. Reconciliation now merges NVCA's keys into the live object and writes it back under a conflict-retry loop, so a concurrent external edit is merged rather than overwritten, and skips the write entirely when the owned metadata already matches. Callers name the NVCA-owned keys they set only under some configurations: the requests namespace still drops the GXCache label when the feature is off. That conditional block also no longer deletes the key from the freshly built map, which never had an effect.

Thanks for addressing #1945. The live-object merge and retry approach looks right for Argo-managed namespaces. Two minor suggestions, non-blocking for merge:
Neither appears to block our Argo use case. Also, which published operator version will include this fix, and is a 3.2.22 backport planned? |
Review feedback on #1950. The optional owned keys were a single list applied to both the label and the annotation map, so declaring a conditional label would also delete an annotation that happened to share its key. They are now declared separately through namespaceOwnedKeys, and a test pins the boundary. Adds the create-race test the reviewer asked for: Get returns NotFound, Create loses to another writer with AlreadyExists, and reconciliation re-reads and merges into the winning object without dropping its external metadata. Also wraps the error from createOrUpdateNamespace in setupRequestsNamespace, which previously reported only the namespace name and discarded the API cause.

Preserve the system namespace error chain.
This branch formats the reconciliation error with %v. Upstream callers cannot use errors.Is or errors.As on the underlying Kubernetes error.
Use %w, as the requests namespace branch does.
Proposed fix
- return fmt.Errorf("failed to setup namespace %s: %v", sysNSObj.Name, err)
+ return fmt.Errorf("failed to setup namespace %s: %w", sysNSObj.Name, err)As per path instructions, “Preserve error chains when wrapping errors with %w.”

TL;DR
NVCA namespace reconciliation replaced the whole Namespace object instead of updating the metadata it owns, so labels and annotations belonging to other controllers were deleted on every reconcile. It now merges its own keys into the live object.
Additional Details
createOrUpdateNamespaceread the live Namespace, discarded the result, and passed NVCA's sparse desired object toUpdate. Everything not in that object was dropped: external labels and annotations, finalizers, owner references. On a GitOps-managed cluster this removed Argo CD tracking and lifecycle annotations continuously, producing drift that never settled. BothsetupSystemNamespaceandsetupRequestsNamespaceshare the helper, so both paths were affected.What changed:
createOrUpdateNamespacenow reads the live Namespace and writes back only the label and annotation keys the desired object names. Identity, finalizers, owner references,spec.finalizers, and metadata owned by other controllers are preserved.retry.OnError, retrying onConflictso a concurrent external edit is merged rather than overwritten, and onAlreadyExistsso a lost create race falls through to the merge path.setupRequestsNamespacepasses the GXCache label so it is still dropped when the feature is off.Customer Release Notes
Fixed NVCA namespace reconciliation deleting annotations and labels set by other controllers, such as GitOps tracking annotations on the NVCA system and requests namespaces.

Testing
go test ./pkg/operator/...andbazel test //src/compute-plane-services/nvca/pkg/operator/reconcile:reconcile_testpass.golangci-lint run ./pkg/operator/reconcile/...is clean.New regression coverage in
namespace_helpers_test.go, matching the cases the issue asked for:spec.finalizerssurviveThe existing
update existing namespacetest asserted only that the new label appeared; it now also asserts the pre-existing label survives. Every new subtest fails against the previous implementation and passes with this change. No QA needed.Notes
The sibling helpers
createOrUpdateResourceQuotaandcreateOrUpdateConfigMapuse the same read-then-replace shape. They are left as is: NVCA creates and fully owns those objects, whereas a Namespace routinely pre-exists and is co-owned.Two
depsentries were hand-added to thego_testtarget inpkg/operator/reconcile/BUILD.bazelfor the new test imports. Gazelle does not appear to maintain that target'ssrcslist, so it was not regenerated.References
