feat(nvca): emit events for MiniService abnormal status conditions - #1939
Conversation
The MiniService controller only emitted a Kubernetes event on phase transitions, so failures that don't change phase (a degraded worker, an object stuck pending past its timeout, a backoff-retry loop, etc.) were invisible via `kubectl describe` and required reading `status.conditions` directly. Add a small event-emission helper (`recordEvent`, `emitConditionEvents`) that diffs a MiniService's status conditions each reconcile and emits a Warning event when a condition transitions to False and a Normal recovery event when it transitions back to True, skipping unchanged transitions so an unresolved failure isn't re-announced every reconcile. Route the existing PhaseChange event through the same helper and the corev1.EventType* constants instead of raw string literals. Bump the FakeRecorder buffer size in existing miniservice tests, since the additional condition events would otherwise overflow the small buffers already used across large multi-reconcile test flows and block on the recorder's channel send.

byte slicing that can split multibyte characters, and preserve the existing
normalization and unchanged-message behavior.

flow so Kubernetes Events receive only a fixed, reason-based summary rather than
raw condition, upstream status, or event text; preserve whitespace normalization
and length limits for the fixed summary, and ensure terminal false-condition
paths no longer pass rerr.Error() through.

Re: review #5226597744 (CodeRabbit) - "Emit a Normal event for True-to-True reason changes": The observation is technically accurate: Leaving this as-is intentionally: the scope here is Warning events for abnormal conditions plus Normal events specifically for recovery (False→True), matching the original ask. A True→True reason relabel isn't a recovery - the condition was already healthy - and treating it as event-worthy risks the same etcd/event-noise problem the original event-message guidance was trying to avoid (e.g. a benign relabel firing a "recovered" event with nothing to have recovered from). Not making a change here. |
The Bazel go_library/go_test srcs lists were not updated for the new events.go and events_test.go files, so the Bazel build failed with undefined-symbol errors even though `go build`/`go test` passed. This subtree (src/compute-plane-services/nvca) hand-maintains its own BUILD.bazel files, since it's excluded from the root Gazelle scope. All imports used by both new files were already present in the existing deps lists, so only the srcs entries needed updating.

Why
The MiniService controller (
src/compute-plane-services/nvca/internal/miniservice/) only emitted a Kubernetes event onstatus.phasetransitions. Many abnormal states never change the phase - a MiniService can stay inRunningwhile itsObjectsHealthyorWorkersHealthystatus condition flips toFalse(degraded worker, object stuck pending past its timeout, image pull issues, a backoff-retry loop on failing objects, etc). An operator debugging one of these cases had nothing useful inkubectl describe miniserviceand had to know to readstatus.conditionsdirectly.What changed
internal/miniservice/events.gowith a small reusable helper:recordEvent(nil-safe wrapper around the reconciler'srecord.EventRecorder) andemitConditionEvents, which diffs the MiniService's old and new status conditions each reconcile and:Warningevent (reason = conditionReason, message = the conditionMessage, sanitized to a single line and length-capped) when a condition transitions toFalseNormalrecovery event when a condition transitions back toTrueStatus/Reason), so an unresolved failure is not re-announced on every reconcileemitConditionEventsintoReconcileunconditionally (not gated on a phase change), and routed the existingPhaseChangeevent throughrecordEventusingcorev1.EventTypeNormalinstead of a raw string literal.events_test.gocovering the transition matrix (unset->false, false->false with a new reason, false->true, unset->true, nil recorder).TestReconcile_TaskStatus(reconcile_test.go) that a Warning event is recorded whenObjectsHealthyflips toFalsewhile the MiniService phase staysRunning.record.NewFakeRecorderbuffer size in the existing miniservice tests (reconcile_test.go,reconcile_update_test.go,prereqs_test.go). The additional per-condition events pushed several multi-reconcile test flows past the previous small buffer (10/20), which would otherwise block forever on the recorder's channel send.Customer Release Notes
MiniService controllers now emit Warning events on abnormal status conditions (not just phase transitions) and Normal events when they recover, making
kubectl describe miniservicea useful first stop for debugging degraded or failing workloads.Plan Summary
Not applicable.
Usage
No new commands. Warning/recovery events appear under
kubectl describe miniservice <name>in the Events section.Testing
go test ./internal/miniservice/... -ldflags '-X github.com/NVIDIA/k8s-dra-driver-gpu/internal/info.version=v25.8.0'(all pass, including newevents_test.goand the updatedTestReconcile_TaskStatus).gofmtandgo vetclean.make lintwas not run locally (golangci-lint binary not available in this environment) - relying on CI for the full lint pass.Notes
No CRD/API type changes, so no codegen was required.
