This PR closes #287 and initial support for #263

Summary

This PR adds initial support for Valkey version detection and uses it to gate Valkey 9.1-specific behavior in the operator.

Changes

  • Detects the effective Valkey image version from spec.image and stores it in status. Floating tags (latest, digest-pinned) fallback to "unknown" and it will drop 9.1+ directives.
  • When user set directive is dropped (version too old or undeterminable), the operators updates ConfigurationWarning condition with reason UnSupportedDirective and emits warning event.

Implementation

  • Added version parsing utilities using github.com/Masterminds/semver/v3.
  • versionGatedConfig map (directive -> min supported version), gatedUserkeystoSupress filters gated user directives out of rendered valkey.conf

Limitations

  • Version detection relies on parsing the image tag. If the version cannot be determined (for example, latest), version-gated features are skipped.
  • This PR only provides the initial framework for version-gated configuration.
  • Only tls-auto-reload-interval is currently listed in versionGatedConfig. Future any directives can extend the map.

Testing

  • Added unit tests for version parsing and version-gated configuration rendering.
  • Added e2e tests to verify gated directives are dropped when its not supported by detected version.

Checklist

Before submitting the PR make sure the following are checked:

  • This Pull Request is related to one issue.
  • Commit message explains what changed and why
  • Tests are added or updated.
  • Documentation files are updated. Behavior when version is unknown is documented and consistent.
  • I have run pre-commit locally (pre-commit run --all-files or hooks on commit)
  • At least one feature above the 9.0 baseline is wired through the gate validated using 9.1.0 feature tls-auto-reload-interval.

Today, the config gets dropped if the user specified it but not against a supporting version. Could we have some observability to feedback when this happens? #271 introduced a ConfigurationWarning - perhaps we can reuse that.

Is it necessary to set the default value in the config when it is omitted? We don't do this for any other configs.

Is a new Status field ValkeyVersion necessary? It's not being consumed by anything in this PR - or was it added for another reason?

this is the version-gating shape from #287, reading the tag and bailing to unversioned for latest/digest, good. answering your three:

observability / reusing ConfigurationWarning: yes, that's the right home, with one distinction. fire it only when the user explicitly set a gated directive in spec.config and it got dropped because the image is too old or undeterminable, that's the surprise worth surfacing. don't fire it for the operator's own auto-default being skipped, the user never asked for that. a reason like ConfigVersionGated with a message naming the directive, the required version, and the detected one, set idempotently and removed once it's back in range, matches how GracePeriodTooShort behaves in #271.

the auto-default: your consistency instinct is fair, and it honestly cuts against what i argued on #287. the deciding question is whether the operator wants to be opinionated about turning cert auto-reload on for TLS clusters (keep the default, but make it observable and documented as operator-set), or stay a thin config passthrough like it is for every other directive (drop the 86400, only gate user-set values). i'd lean passthrough now: least surprising, removes the "why is there a config i didn't set" question, and a user who wants auto-reload sets it explicitly with the gate protecting them on <9.1. the cost is TLS users don't get it for free, which is a fine follow-up if there's demand.

status.valkeyVersion: as written it's populated from the tag and the gate also reads the tag, so the field is a parallel copy nothing consumes, which is what you're seeing. where it earns its keep is as the runtime-detected version from INFO server, which is what rescues a latest or floating tag that actually resolved to 9.1, the tag can't tell you that. so either wire it now as the authoritative source with the tag as fallback (gate prefers status, falls back to tag), or defer the field to the PR that reads INFO and consumes it. shipping it tag-derived and unread is the one option i'd avoid, it's API surface with no consumer.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds initial Valkey version gating for user config directives. The main changes are:

  • Parse Valkey versions from image tags with semver support.
  • Drop gated spec.config directives when the image version is unsupported or unknown.
  • Surface unsupported directives through ConfigurationWarning status and warning events.
  • Document version-gated config behavior and extend unit/e2e coverage.

Confidence Score: 4/5

Mostly safe to merge after fixing the failing status test assertion.

Production version gating and warning aggregation paths are consistent with the controller status model. Confidence is limited by one contained test bug that will fail when the new status test runs.

Files Needing Attention: internal/controller/status_test.go

T-Rex T-Rex Logs

What T-Rex did

  • Ran the narrow TestApplyConfigurationWarnings Go unit test; the assertion did not fail.
  • Ran the broader status and warning test pattern, along with the corresponding controller tests; the instability assertion did not reproduce.
  • Reviewed the version-gating validation log to confirm the commands run, their working directories, and exit codes across the validation suite.
  • Executed the version-gating helper test (trex_version_gating_test.go) and confirmed the test finished with exit code 0.

flagging the ConfigurationWarning collision greptile caught (controller.go:180), since it's the condition i added in #271 and the reuse here trips over how it's keyed.

meta.SetStatusCondition keys by condition type, so the version-gate path setting ConfigurationWarning/UnsupportedConfigDirective overwrites the GracePeriodTooShort one set just above when a cluster hits both. it's worse on the clear side: my #271 code clears with removeConditionIfReason(ConfigurationWarning, GracePeriodTooShort), which no-ops once the reason is UnsupportedConfigDirective, and the version-gate clear has the mirror problem. so the two concerns silently stomp each other's warning and each other's clear.

a single condition type with a single reason field can't hold two independent warnings, which is the real lesson of reusing it. two ways out:

  • roll-up: compute ConfigurationWarning once, from all the configuration concerns together (grace period + version gating + whatever's next), set it True with a combined message and remove it when none fire. keeps the "one config-health signal" intent, at the cost of a reason that represents "one or more" (generic reason, detail in the message).
  • separate types: GracePeriodWarning and UnsupportedConfigDirective as distinct conditions, each set and cleared independently. more idiomatic, at the cost of the extra type.

i'd lean roll-up to honor the reuse, but either fixes it. the thing to avoid is two independent setCondition(ConfigurationWarning, ...) writers keyed by type.

separately, greptile's config.go:177 one is the point from my earlier comment: versionGateConfigWarnings iterates every gated directive without checking spec.Config, so the default 9.0.0 image warns UnsupportedConfigDirective even when the user set nothing. it should only warn for directives the user actually put in spec.config and that got dropped, otherwise every pre-9.1 cluster carries a warning it can't act on.

There is a potential race condition that goes like this:

  1. User adds a version gated config, and bumps the image to a version that supports that config
  2. ConfigMap is generated with the version gated config, this propagates to all pods
  3. Operator starts to roll ValkeyNodes
  4. Another ValkeyNode that has not yet had its spec updated, is restarted for whatever reason - its Spec.Image is still the old one
  5. Restarted ValkeyNode is crash-loop-back-off because it cannot read the version gated config

Therefore I think we should include docs to say:

  • Update image in one change, wait for roll to complete
  • Add the version gated config in another change

Outside of that, I'm thinking how we can extend this functionality beyond configurations, such the operator gating features, etc., based on what version is being run.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1922b

The version-gating change can expose a Valkey 9.1-only directive to pods still running an older image, creating a runtime compatibility risk, while the updated tests currently fail to compile because of a helper-signature mismatch. Merge should wait for these issues to be fixed; documentation and targeted coverage follow-ups are bounded.

Are we blocking the unsupported config anywhere? I saw that we're updating the ConfigMap then bubbling that warning to the user. If the container were to restart for whatever reason like a node drain, it would try to read the unsupported config and crash. Would it be better to block that config from being written and bubble the warning there?

Outside of that, it will be useful to document how a developer can implement version gating into the development guide.

Blocking the write instead of warning after it does not close that window, because both paths read the same signal. gatedUserKeysToSuppress and versionGateConfigWarnings both gate on cluster.Spec.Image, so whichever way the decision goes, it was made against the version the user asked for and not the version of the pod that reads the file. The node that crashes in your scenario is one whose pod never saw that image.

The ConfigMap is a single object shared by every node in the cluster (valkey-<cluster>, handed to each ValkeyNode as ServerConfigMapName), so the only value that is safe to gate on is the lowest version that can read it: the minimum across the desired image and everything still running the old one.

Getting that number is the part that needs a decision, because no field holds it today. buildClusterValkeyNode copies cluster.Spec.Image onto every ValkeyNode on each reconcile, and the StatefulSet template update is deferred until Spec.WorkloadRevision matches. So mid-roll every node's spec already reads 9.1 while its pod is still on 9.0. Neither cluster.Spec.Image nor node.Spec.Image is the running version, and ValkeyNodeStatus carries no image or version at all.

If the gate reads an observed floor instead, the sequence converges without asking anything of the user. Mid-roll the floor is still the old version, the directive stays out of the ConfigMap, and a node drained at the wrong moment restarts on a config it can parse. Once every pod is on the new image the floor rises, the directive lands on the next reconcile, and the resulting ConfigMap change rolls nodes that can all parse it. One spec change from the user, no ordering to document, which would retire the two-step note you suggested in your earlier review.

That also gives the ValkeyVersion status field the job you were asking about back in July: it has a clear purpose if it holds the observed floor rather than the version parsed from the desired image. unknown for floating and digest-pinned tags then reads as "no floor can be established", which is the same conservative skip already implemented.

Two notes while this is in review.

The new e2e block collides with #377. It applies

networking:
  tls:
    certificate:
      secretName: ...

and #377 renames that to certificates.server in the same file, with certificates marked required. The awkward part is that the two changes sit in different regions of valkeycluster_tls_test.go, so git will most likely merge them without reporting a conflict and leave the new block sitting on the removed field path. certificate then prunes as unknown, certificates is absent, and the apply is rejected, so it shows up as a CI failure after the merge rather than at it. Worth a rebase onto whichever lands first.

On CodeRabbit's config.go note about naming the image source: that is already handled on the current head. versionGateConfigWarnings sets imageSource to "default image" when cluster.Spec.Image is empty and builds the message from it, so the warning does not claim the version came from spec.image. The part still open is the test case it suggests, an empty spec.image with an explicit tls-auto-reload-interval, asserting the warning names the default image.

#377 is merged in now, so you should be good to merge and resolve the conflict

bjosv added a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 18, 2026
… honest (#382)

This PR closes #369

### Summary

`ACLApplied` compares the user set and each user's password hashes, so a
permission-only edit leaves it reading `True` for the whole window
before the mounted aclfile refreshes, while the granted or revoked
command is not yet live on the server.

### Features / Behaviour Changes

The aclfile gains a trailing disabled user, `_operator_acl_revision`,
whose only password hash is a hash of the managed ACL above it. It
appears in `ACL LIST` and `ACL USERS`. It is `off` with `-@all` and no
keys or channels, so it cannot authenticate and holds no capability.

`ACLApplied` now reads `True` only once the running server has loaded
the current revision, permission edits included.

### Implementation

Comparing permissions directly is not practical: `ACL GETUSER` returns
Valkey's normalized rendering of the rules while the operator only holds
the aclfile text, so a field-by-field comparison would mean
reimplementing Valkey's ACL parser and keeping it in step with the
server.

The revision user sidesteps that. Its password hash covers every managed
entry above it, so any edit changes it, and it then flows through the
user and password-hash comparison that `aclObservablyInSync` already
does. It needs no new comparison logic, and the condition stops
depending on which fields happen to be comparable.

`reconcileUsersAcl` is the only place the aclfile is assembled, and the
revision user has to be appended in every version written there. A path
that wrote the file without it would leave a stale revision on the
server and hold every node at `ACLApplied=False` forever, so there is a
comment on that function saying to keep aclfile assembly in one place.

### Limitations

The revision user is a workaround for the server having no way to report
which ACL revision it holds. valkey-io/valkey#4355 proposes `ACL DIGEST`
for exactly this, and the TSC vote on it is currently 3 core-team
approvals with no objections. Once that command exists, the operator can
compare the server's digest directly and the bookkeeping user can be
dropped, behind a version gate of the kind #307 is adding.

### Testing

Unit tests cover the revision user being appended last and its hash
covering the managed entries above it, plus the sync comparison.

Verified on a local k3d cluster, both directions, using a
permission-only edit that leaves users and passwords untouched.

On this branch, `ACLApplied` held `False` with reason
`PendingPropagation` for about 40 seconds, the mounted-secret refresh
window, then flipped to `True` once the reload landed. The revision hash
changed with the edit. `ACL GETUSER _operator_acl_revision` on the
server reported `off`, `-@all`, no keys and no channels.

On a build of `main` with the same cluster and the same class of edit,
starting from a stable `True`, the condition stayed `True` for the full
60 seconds and never signalled, which is the behaviour #369 describes.

Add TLS upgrade compatibility.

The CRD now requires spec.networking.tls.certificates.server.secretName, but no conversion or migration path exists for the previous spec.networking.tls.certificate.secretName layout. The existing pre-upgrade test submits the old layout to the new schema and cannot validate persisted-resource upgrades. Add conversion or migration handling and a test that upgrades a stored legacy ValkeyCluster without losing TLS configuration.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Gate the shared ConfigMap on the running version floor.

buildServerConfig uses the desired cluster.Spec.Image. The controller updates the shared ConfigMap before it rolls ValkeyNodes. During a 9.0.0-to-9.1.0 update, an old pod can restart and mount tls-auto-reload-interval before its image changes. Valkey 9.0.0 can then fail to start.

Keep the directive suppressed until all running nodes meet the minimum version, or derive the gate from an observed minimum version.

Cover the default-image warning path.

This scenario always sets spec.image to preGateImage. It does not exercise the empty spec.image path or verify that the warning identifies the default image. Add focused coverage with an explicit gated directive and an empty spec.image.

Assert that the gated directive is rendered on the supported image.

This test only checks that ReasonUnsupportedConfigDirective is absent. It passes if the operator drops tls-auto-reload-interval for both supported and unsupported images. Read the rendered valkey.conf and assert that the directive and value are present for gatedImage.

P1 Fix unstable assertion
This block says it reapplies the exact same warning set, but it switches from the prior two UnsupportedConfigDirective warnings to a mixed grace/directive set. applyConfigurationWarnings recomputes the reason as MultipleConfigurationWarnings, so the after.Reason == before.Reason assertion fails.

Looks good as initial support.

Its good that you documented the issue regarding pod restarts during a config roll. Maybe we should do the move from having a common ConfigMap to having one for each ValkeyNode (but keep common scripts). Something to investigate in another issue/pr.

The following image name is a valid one, K8s validates the hash and it also contains a version tag. We would be able to extract 9.1.1 from this.

and remove tlsAutoReloadIntervalKey since its not used then

Comment thread docs/valkeycluster.md

An explicit value is honoured as-is, even if it is below the recommended minimum. In that case the operator sets a `ConfigurationWarning` condition (reason `GracePeriodTooShort`) on the `ValkeyCluster` and emits an event when the cluster first enters that state, rather than silently overriding the value. The value must be a positive integer; the CRD rejects zero or negative values.

Shouldn't we have this info under the Config section? At least the instructions how to lift the valkey version vs. version specific configs is important.

Alt. a short text under Config with a link to this section would also do.

@bjosv I think this has come up enough to warrant an issue for us to track it.

Raised as #404. It records the mechanism from the review here, why per-node rendering removes the gate rather than making it more accurate, and the object-count cost.

One thing worth weighing before this PR lands: if the fix here goes the observed-minimum-version route, that machinery is thrown away once configs are per node. Deciding the direction first would save building it twice.

@jdheyburn

We still require version gating as there are other issues that would benefit from it like #262. So this PR would still be beneficial, though I think that the inclusion of the tls- config has conflated the scope.

Fair, I overstated that. Version detection outlives per-node ConfigMaps, and #262 is a good example: a CRD field gated on 9.1 never touches valkey.conf, so #404 does nothing for it.

Worth noting where #262 does land though. db= rules are rendered into the aclfile, and that is also one object per cluster, the internal ACL Secret mounted by every node. So it inherits the same problem through a different door: the operator writes the file from the desired version while some nodes still run the old binary. Per-node ConfigMaps would not help there either. What both cases want is the same answer to which version is actually running.

The failure modes differ, which is the useful part. An unrecognised valkey.conf directive stops the process, so the node crash-loops. An unrecognised aclfile rule fails the ACL LOAD, which once #400 lands surfaces as Degraded with reason ACLApplyFailed rather than passing unnoticed.

On scope, the line you are pointing at looks clean to me. Detecting the version and reporting a ConfigurationWarning is the reusable half and has no dependency on any of this. tls-auto-reload-interval is the single entry in versionGatedConfig whose safety actually depends on how the shared ConfigMap question is settled. Splitting there lands the part everything else needs without waiting.
