fix(observability): make worker PodMonitor targets resolvable

[bright-poku]

TL;DR

Make worker metrics targets discoverable by exposing the stable worker-metrics named port on generated workloads: TCP 8010 for worker-utils and TCP 9089 for LLM Pylon.

Additional Details

The worker PodMonitor selects function and task workloads through the icms-request-id label, but its endpoint referenced a named port that those containers did not declare. Prometheus Operator therefore discarded the selected targets.

This change:

• updates the worker PodMonitor to use worker-metrics;
• declares worker-metrics:8010/TCP on worker-utils across supported function and task paths;
• declares worker-metrics:9089/TCP on the LLM Pylon container;
• scopes monitoring ingress through the named worker-metrics destination instead of allowing every listener on numeric TCP 9089; and
• adds regression coverage and synchronized generated fixtures/vendor copies.

For the Reviewer

• Confirm the source and vendored translator copies remain identical.
• Confirm the generated function, task, and LLM workload shapes all expose the shared named port expected by the PodMonitor.
• Confirm the named NetworkPolicy port admits the intended worker endpoints without admitting an unrelated listener on numeric TCP 9089.

For QA

Passed locally:

• go test ./pkg/icms-translate/...;
• observability chart and profile tests via make test;
• focused NVCA monitoring NetworkPolicy tests and changed-code linting;
• byte-for-byte checks for all changed source/vendor translator pairs; and
• a live k3d-ncp-local smoke test using the PodMonitor rendered from this branch. Target Allocator discovered exactly worker-utils on TCP 8010 and LLM Pylon on TCP 9089 through the shared worker-metrics name, and VictoriaMetrics reported up=1 for both.

The k3d policy test first proved every control path was reachable. With the updated policy active, monitoring could reach the named 8010 and 9089 endpoints, while a differently named listener on TCP 9089, a non-monitoring source, and an unlisted TCP 9090 endpoint were denied. The denied listeners remained healthy when probed locally from their own pods.

Self-hosted NVCA normally removes workload NetworkPolicies, so an equivalent policy was applied temporarily in an isolated namespace to exercise this cross-mode hardening. All temporary resources were removed after the test, and the existing monitoring stack and cluster topology remained healthy.

QA is needed to verify worker metrics discovery in a clean self-hosted compute or all installation.

Issues

Fixes #1694, covering worker-utils metrics on TCP 8010 and LLM Pylon metrics on TCP 9089.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Monitoring

  • Worker metrics are consistently exposed and scraped through the named worker-metrics port.
  • Monitoring network access permits TCP traffic to the worker metrics port.

• Bug Fixes

  • Utility and LLM worker containers now expose the expected metrics port alongside startup, readiness, and liveness probes.

• Tests

  • Added validation for metrics port configuration and monitoring network-policy access.
  • Expanded coverage across worker, Helm, split-deployment, cache, and LLM scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change aligns named worker metrics ports across generated worker containers, LLM Pylon sidecars, PodMonitor configurations, and monitoring ingress policies. Tests validate port names, numbers, protocols, health probes, network policies, and rendered monitor settings.

Treat an omitted port protocol as TCP.

assertNetworkPolicyOmitsTCPPort skips entries with a nil Protocol. Kubernetes defaults an omitted NetworkPolicyPort.protocol to TCP, so a numeric 9089 entry without protocol can bypass this assertion. Default the local protocol to corev1.ProtocolTCP before comparing it.
