📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughApisixRoute and Ingress reconciliation now retracts published provider state when a referenced ChangesProvider state retraction
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Severity of issue fixed: Medium Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change retracts routes when referenced plugin configurations are deleted and restores them after recreation. The behavior is covered by end-to-end scenarios, but their request results must be asserted to ensure those checks reliably detect failures. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Backports apache/apisix-ingress-controller#2859. Deleting an ApisixPluginConfig that an ApisixRoute or an Ingress still references leaves the data plane applying its plugins. Both reconcilers treat the missing reference as a validation failure and return before Provider.Update, so nothing retracts what an earlier reconcile published. The object reports its spec as invalid while the deleted plugins keep taking effect, and deleting the route or the Ingress is the only way to clear them. Retract when the reference is genuinely absent, and stop returning the error: it does not come back on its own, so requeueing retried forever with backoff, and the ApisixPluginConfig watch already reconciles both objects when it returns. A read failure that is not NotFound stays transient and must not drop a working route, so DependencyMissingError marks the absent-reference case and other errors are returned unchanged. The e2e specs delete only the plugin config and assert the entrance answers 404 rather than 200 with the deleted plugin's header, then recreate it under the same name and assert the entrance comes back. The reconciler test carries its own provider and updater stubs: the recordingProvider on master does not count Update calls and there is no shared updater stub, and inventing a cross-PR dependency for twenty lines is not worth it.

What this PR does / why we need it:
Backports apache/apisix-ingress-controller#2859.
Deleting an
ApisixPluginConfigthat anApisixRouteor anIngressstill references leaves the data plane applying its plugins. Both reconcilers treat the missing reference as a validation failure and return beforeProvider.Update, so nothing retracts what an earlier reconcile published. The object reports its spec as invalid while the deleted plugins keep taking effect, and deleting the route or the Ingress is the only way to clear them. Recreating the plugin config under the same name repairs it, which is what makes this look like a sync delay rather than a missing code path.Retract the published configuration when the reference is genuinely absent. A read failure that is not
NotFoundis transient and must not drop a working route, sotypes.DependencyMissingErrormarks the absent-reference case and other errors are returned unchanged.validatePluginConfigpreviously folded everyGetfailure into anInvalidSpecReasonError, losing that distinction.Behavior change worth calling out: a route or Ingress whose plugin config is deleted now stops serving instead of continuing on the last good configuration. That is the point of the fix, but it is visible to anyone relying on the old behavior.
Cherry-picked cleanly. Built on #472, which carries the
recordingProviderandrecordingUpdaterstubs the new tests use; the diff collapses to the cherry-pick once that lands.Summary by CodeRabbit

Branch state
#471 merged after this branch was cut and brought its own
recordingProvider, which collided with the copy this branch had inherited from #472. Git merged the two files without conflict and the package stopped compiling, somaster, #472 (which now drops the duplicate) and #476 (which adds theupdatedcounter andrecordingUpdaterthis test needs) are merged in.Those merges are why the diff currently shows commits from the other two PRs. Once they land, this collapses to the cherry-pick.
