Summary

  • Validate duplicate filter entry names, terminal filters not last in chain, and undefined chain references in listeners
  • Set Accepted=False/ValidationError on failure, Accepted=True/Valid otherwise
  • CRD-level validations (duplicate chain names, ref/inlineFilter XOR) left to API server admission

Test plan

  • Unit tests for each validation rule
  • Envtest tests: valid/invalid specs, condition transitions (True↔False), deleted proxy handling

Closes #13

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Proxy status now reports whether a specification is accepted and the generation that was checked.
    • Validation feedback identifies duplicate filter names, misplaced terminal filters, undefined filter chains, and listener chains placed after a chain ending in a terminal filter. Multiple issues are reported together.
  • Bug Fixes
    • The API server rejects proxy filter entries that specify neither a reference nor an inline filter.

Walkthrough

The reconciler now validates Proxy specs and reports the result through the Accepted condition. It records the observed generation and patches status. The changes also add unit and integration tests for validation rules, status updates, and API schema rejection.

Changes: Proxy Spec Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Spec validation rules and checks
internal/controller/proxy_validation.go, internal/controller/proxy_validation_test.go, test/integration/crd_test.go, test/integration/proxy_controller_test.go
Validation reports duplicate filter-entry names, inline terminal filters that are not last, undefined listener chains, and terminal chains followed by another chain. Tests cover these rules and API schema rejection when a filter entry has neither a reference nor an inline filter.
Reconciliation status updates
internal/controller/proxy_controller.go, test/integration/proxy_controller_test.go
Reconciliation sets the Accepted condition based on spec validation, records the observed generation, and patches status. Integration tests cover valid and invalid specs, condition changes after spec updates, and deleted Proxies.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 3db2c

Validation failures are meant to be recorded as Accepted=False, but a very long single error message could make the status patch fail and leave the Proxy without the condition. The omitted-error count in truncated messages can also be wrong. Fix the message-limit handling before merging; the other earlier concerns appear addressed.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Implement Proxy spec validation" matches the main change. The PR adds validation for the Proxy spec (duplicate filter-entry names, terminal filters not last in a chain, and listener references to undefined chains) and sets the Accepted condition based on the result. The title is short, specific, and free of noise.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed code maps to issue #13 or to the PR's review follow-ups. internal/controller/proxy_validation.go implements the validation rules. internal/controller/proxy_controller.go sets the Accepted condition from validation results and patches status, which is required by the issue. joinValidationErrors caps aggregated condition messages at maxConditionMessageLen, which bounds the condition message written by the reconciler. The added tests in proxy_validation_test.go, test/integration/crd_test.go, and test/integration/proxy_controller_test.go support those rules. The reconciliation log message change (V(1), no proxy name or namespace fields) is small and not tied to a stated requirement. It does not appear to be an unrelated behavior change, so it is not treated as out of scope.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #13 requires six coding checks: (1) no duplicate filter chain names, (2) no duplicate filter entry names within a chain, (3) exactly one of ref or inlineFilter per entry, (4) terminal filters last in their chain, (5) listener filterChains references resolve, and (6) Accepted=False/ValidationError on failure. Verified at head in internal/controller/proxy_validation.go: check 2 (duplicate entry names), check 4 (terminal filter not last, for inline filters; static_response, redirect, iterative_request_router), and check 5 (undefined chain references) are implemented. The reconciler sets Accepted=False/ValidationError on failure per the PR summary. Check 3 is partly covered by the CRD x-kubernetes-validations on conditions and by the integration case in test/integration/crd_test.go that expects a schema rejection for an entry with neither ref nor inlineFilter. Check 1 (duplicate chain names) is delegated to API-server admission by the PR description. The CRD file config/crd/bases/praxis.io_proxies.yaml was read only up to a truncation point, so the presence of a uniqueness rule for filterChains names was not confirmed. The test diff for test/integration/crd_test.go and test/integration/proxy_controller_test.go could not be read (changed blobs missing from the checkout), so envtest coverage per case, including duplicate chain names, is not confirmed from source. The PR summary also states that the unit tests in proxy_validation_test.go cover the rules, but those were not read directly.

Resolution

Confirm that config/crd/bases/praxis.io_proxies.yaml enforces unique filterChains[].name (for example, via x-kubernetes-validations on the filterChains list). Confirm that an envtest case in test/integration/proxy_controller_test.go or crd_test.go rejects duplicate chain names, and that envtest covers the duplicate entry name, terminal filter position, undefined chain, and Accepted=False/ValidationError cases. Provide readable blobs for these paths so the test diffs can be checked.

P2 — Match Praxis’s terminal-filter rules.

Praxis only requires iterative_request_router to be last. Including static_response and redirect rejects valid conditional chains. Remove them from this list.

P2 — Check the message limit for every error.

This check skips the final error. One long chain reference can exceed 32,768 characters and cause the status update to fail. Apply the limit even when there is only one error.

Apply the message limit to the final error too.

If errs contains one 32,769-character error, remaining is zero. This guard skips the length check and writes the entire error. The same failure occurs when the final error exceeds the remaining space. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

A sufficiently long undefined-chain reference can produce this input. The CRD limits condition messages to 32,768 characters, and Reconcile passes this result directly to the status patch. The patch then fails instead of recording Accepted=False. Check the size before every append, including the final error. Add single-error and oversized-final-error regression cases.

Include the current error in the omitted count.

If the candidate error does not fit, this branch omits both that error and all subsequent errors. However, remaining counts only subsequent errors. For three errors whose first error fills the limit, the function returns "; (and 2 more)" although it includes none of the three errors. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Count omissions from idx, and add the separator only when the builder contains an error. Update the long-message test to check the complete result and the correct omission count.

Validate duplicate filter entry names within a chain, terminal filters
in non-last position, and listener references to undefined chains.
Set Accepted=False/ValidationError on failure, Accepted=True/Valid
otherwise. CRD-level validations (duplicate chain names, ref/inlineFilter
XOR) are left to the API server admission.
