Moved to draft: the audit this PR rests on was wrongReview feedback identified that the "11 of 33" CRD audit in the PR description omitted four charts. Verified, and it is worse than a miscount: the correct number is 15 of 33, and the omissions are exactly the four named.
Root cause was my audit script, not the registryThe registry stores chart names in repo-alias form ( The script redirected stderr to What that invalidatesNot just the number. The argument for shipping without the per-component opt-out was that the audit found no affected component carrying out-of-band CRD fields. That reasoning covered 11 of 15 components, so it is unsupported and the decision built on it has to be re-made against correct data. One case that needs specific attention: kube-prometheus-stack ships 10 CRDs under Second finding: the README commands are not executableAlso confirmed, on all three sub-points:
The helm README template already has Plan
Nothing from this PR reached Thanks for catching this — a blanket destructive CRD policy justified by a silently broken audit is a bad combination, and it would have been much more expensive to find after merge. |

…grade Helm installs a chart's crds/ directory on first install and never touches it again on upgrade. helm-controller inherits that through its spec.upgrade.crds default of Skip, so a chart bump whose CRDs changed runs a new controller against the previous schema while the API server prunes writes to fields the old schema does not know. Fixed opt-in, via a new registry field ownsCRDs, rather than by defaulting CreateReplace on for everything. An audit of every Helm component found 15 ship CRDs under crds/, and 11 of those share at least one CRD with another component. nfd, gpu-operator and network-operator all ship the NodeFeature CRDs, and nfd, gpu-operator and kai-scheduler all appear together in base.yaml, so an unconditional policy would have two or three HelmReleases rewrite the same CRD on every reconcile, each with the schema its own chart pins. Flux reconciles on an interval, so they would flap indefinitely. The Skip default is what prevents that today, which is why it stays the default. A component qualifies only if it solely owns every CRD it ships and ships none using spec.conversion.strategy: Webhook, because replace discards a caBundle injected at runtime. kubeflow-trainer is excluded for the second reason: its leaderworkersets CRD converts through lws-webhook-service with no caBundle in the chart. gatekeeper, k8s-aibom and nvsentinel qualify. Ownership was checked against templates/-based CRDs too, not only crds/. helm show crds does not report those, and prometheus-operator-crds ships the same ten CRDs through templates/ that kube-prometheus-stack ships under crds/, so kube-prometheus-stack looks like a sole owner and is not. A registry resolution failure is fatal rather than defaulting every component to false, since silently treating everything as "does not own" would quietly restore the behavior this fixes. The test asserts both directions. An owner emits the policy and a sharer must not; a positive-only test would pass against an unconditional template, which is the defect this replaces. No golden churn: the three opted-in components appear in no golden fixture. Fixes: #2264 Signed-off-by: Mark Chmarny <mark@chmarny.com>
Three review fixes on the opt-in CRD upgrade policy. The ownsCRDs flag now applies only when a ref still points at the exact chart the registry pins. ownsCRDs records an audit of that chart: sole ownership of every CRD it ships, and no webhook conversion strategy. A recipe may override source, chart, or version on the componentRef, bypassing registry defaulting entirely, and the audit says nothing about the chart those overrides point at. Replacing CRDs from an unaudited chart is the destructive case the opt-in design exists to avoid. Any mismatch now keeps helm-controller's Skip default. resolveCRDOwners takes a context and checks cancellation before registry resolution and on each iteration, matching the convention for loops and long operations. The test previously claimed to cover both HelmRelease shapes and did not. Its chartRef cases set OCISourceName on a normal Helm ref, which renders spec.chart.spec.sourceRef, so both cases exercised the same template. Verified by rendering: chartRef=false, sourceRef=true, for OCISourceName set and unset alike. The chartRef template is reached only by local, vendored and manifest-backed components, which carry no registry chart coordinates and therefore cannot satisfy the new guard, so it cannot emit the policy today. That limitation is now stated in the test rather than papered over with a case that tests nothing. The cases also used invented coordinates, which the new guard correctly rejects. They now build refs at real registry coordinates, and three negative cases cover overridden version, chart and source. Left as-is after review: Generate returns resolveCRDOwners' error directly rather than wrapping it. That error is already a structured error from PropagateOrWrap, and the repo convention is not to re-wrap errors that already carry a correct code. Related: #2264 Signed-off-by: Mark Chmarny <mark@chmarny.com>
Two statements in the component catalog contradicted the opt-in policy this branch adds. The health-and-readiness section still said the HelmRelease AICR generates for Flux leaves spec.upgrade.crds unset. That is now false for exactly the component that section describes: k8s-aibom is marked ownsCRDs, so its generated HelmRelease sets CreateReplace and Flux applies the CRDs itself. The paragraph now says so, and explains why the storage-version assertion is still worth making on every deployer: it proves the deployed CRDs match the pinned chart, not merely that some deployer was expected to update them. The pre-upgrade CRD instruction was written as applying to every bundle upgrade. It is now scoped to helm and helmfile, with a pointer to the deployer table for the three that need no manual step. Related: #2264 Signed-off-by: Mark Chmarny <mark@chmarny.com>
The negative cases decoded spec.upgrade.crds into a string field, so an absent key and a key explicitly rendered as "" both produced "". Every want: "" case would therefore have passed against a template that emits an empty value, which is the ambiguous-condition shape this repo's conventions call out. Decoded as a map instead, so presence is the assertion: non-owners must not carry spec.upgrade at all, and owners must carry an explicit crds value. Verified by rendering crds: "" for non-owners, which now fails four cases and previously failed none. Related: #2264 Signed-off-by: Mark Chmarny <mark@chmarny.com>
The rebase auto-merged without conflict markers, but the two changes did not compose cleanly in prose: #2312 scoped the pre-upgrade CRD step to helm and helmfile, while #2316 rewrote the command inside that step and added a third explanatory bullet. The lead-in still read "fails on both counts" above three bullets, only two of which are failure modes. Reworded to name the shorter form explicitly and scope the claim to the two bullets that describe failures. Signed-off-by: Mark Chmarny <mark@chmarny.com>

🔎 Multi-Persona Review
Method: four independent persona reviewers (correctness, test-coverage, docs, security/operability) fanned out in parallel, then every finding was re-derived from the resolved code by an adversarial senior meta-reviewer. The crux (gatekeeper) was independently reproduced 3×.
Tier legend: 🔴 Blocker · 🟠 Major · 🟡 Minor · 🔵 Nitpick
Overall assessment
A careful, well-reasoned narrowing of the earlier over-broad revision — the opt-in gate, the fail-closed posture, and the "sole owner + no webhook conversion" audit are sound, and the security surface checks out (no overlay can set the flag; a registry-resolution failure is fatal; CreateReplace never deletes CRDs). But the fix is silently inert for one of its three advertised components, and the test that should catch that structurally cannot. Root cause is a chart-name form mismatch:
gatekeeper defaultChart="gatekeeper/gatekeeper" → ref.Chart="gatekeeper" → MATCH=false ❌
k8s-aibom defaultChart="k8s-aibom" → ref.Chart="k8s-aibom" → MATCH=true ✅
nvsentinel defaultChart="nvsentinel" → ref.Chart="nvsentinel" → MATCH=true ✅
Recommendation: Approve with comments. No surviving 🔴, so formally comment-level — but the two 🟠 (inline below) are worth fixing before merge: the PR ships a fix that does nothing for gatekeeper, guarded by a test that can't detect it. Both fixes are small.

Reviewed with a multi-persona panel + adversarial meta-review. mchmarny's inline notes are the author's own annotations, not an independent review.
Review found gatekeeper never emitted CreateReplace despite being enrolled in ownsCRDs, and reproduced it on all three enrolled components. ApplyRegistryDefaults strips a defaultChart to the segment after its last "/" when defaulting ref.Chart. gatekeeper's registry entry is "gatekeeper/gatekeeper", so a stock recipe resolves ref.Chart="gatekeeper" while usesRegistryChart compared against the unstripped value. One of the three headline components was silently inert, and the PR body, the registry comment, and the component catalog all claimed otherwise. It failed into the safe direction -- Skip, no destructive replace -- but it did not do what was documented. usesRegistryChart now normalizes the registry value the same way, and version comparison runs both sides through deployer.NormalizeVersion so an overlay re-pinning "v1.3.0" against a registry "1.3.0" does not silently disable the policy for an audited chart. The test could not have caught this. It built refs by copying registry fields directly, which produces a shape the resolver never emits, and its comment claimed that shape was "what a stock recipe resolves to". Refs are now built by running ApplyRegistryDefaults over an empty ref, and the owner cases are discovered from the registry rather than hardcoded, so gatekeeper and nvsentinel are covered and a future enrollment is covered without editing the test. Only k8s-aibom had been exercised. The chartRef render assertion was replaced by a direct usesRegistryChart test. Attempting the render route produced a sourceRef HelmRelease, so a render test would have passed without exercising the path -- the ambiguous-condition shape this suite avoids elsewhere. The property test asserts refs without registry coordinates are rejected, with a resolved ref as the control so the negative cases cannot pass vacuously. Adds TestOwnsCRDsPinsMatchAuditedVersions, which pins the chart versions the CRD-ownership audit actually ran against. usesRegistryChart covers a recipe overriding coordinates; nothing covered the other direction, where bumping defaultVersion in the registry carries ownsCRDs forward to a chart nobody re-checked, which may by then share a CRD or use webhook conversion. The guard caught two wrong versions on its first run. Related: #2264 Signed-off-by: Mark Chmarny <mark@chmarny.com>

An earlier revision of this branch defaulted

15 of 33 components ship CRDs under
crds/, and 11 of those share at least one CRD with another component:gatekeeper,k8s-aibom,kubeflow-trainer,nvsentineldynamo-platform,gpu-operator,grove,k8s-nim-operator(+-ocp),kai-scheduler,network-operator,nfd,nvidia-dra-driver-gpu(+-ocp)nfd,gpu-operator, andnetwork-operatorall ship the NodeFeature CRDs, andnfd,gpu-operator, andkai-schedulerall appear together inbase.yaml— the root of every stock recipe. An unconditional policy would have two or threeHelmReleaseobjects rewrite the same CRD on every reconcile, each with the schema its own chart pins, flapping indefinitely.Skipis what prevents that today.Two qualifying rules, both load-bearing:
templates/-based CRDs too.helm show crdsreports onlycrds/, andprometheus-operator-crdsships throughtemplates/the same ten CRDskube-prometheus-stackships undercrds/.

gatekeeper,k8s-aibom,nvsentinel.Implementation Notes
ownsCRDsis resolved once perGenerateand applied at all fourHelmReleasepopulation sites, covering both thesourceRefandchartReftemplate shapes. A registry resolution failure is fatal rather than defaulting everything to false, since silently treating every component as "does not own" would quietly restore the behavior this fixes.The test asserts both directions — an owner emits the policy, a sharer must not. Verified that a positive-only test is insufficient: reverting the template to unconditional makes both sharer cases fail, which is precisely the defect being replaced.
No golden churn. The three opted-in components appear in no golden fixture. The prior revision moved all 45 stock leaf hashes, which I had attributed to Flux; it was actually the helm README template, which every bundle includes.
The generated-README CRD instructions from the prior revision are not here. Review found them unexecutable: no
--repofor HTTP charts, no chart source at all in the helmfile template, and the section rendered into manifest-only bundles that have no charts. Since.Repository/.ChartNameare available but the template funcmap has nohasPrefix, doing this properly needs a precomputed field. Guidance stays indocs/user/component-catalog.md, which is correct and now describes the opt-in behavior. Worth a follow-up; a wrong command shipping inside every bundle is worse than a right one in the docs.Scope claim: this does not restore cross-deployer parity and is not described as doing so.
helmandhelmfilestill skipcrds/because that is Helm's own behavior, not something the bundle controls.Testing
Codebase qualification completed, no failures.Risk Assessment
Low rather than the prior revision's medium: behavior changes for three components rather than all of them, each audited as sole owner with no webhook conversion, and every other component keeps today's exact output. No golden moved.
