Summary

Consolidates the registry drift bumps into one PR, so that one approval can merge them:

Motivation / Context

Every recipe change regenerates the catalog and render goldens, so these three PRs conflicted with each other, and main requires up-to-date branches. Whichever merged first put the other two back into conflict, and each rebase dismissed their approvals. One PR removes that cycle.

Each commit is unchanged from the PR where it was reviewed. Its hand-written +/- lines are identical, and only the regenerated goldens and BOM differ, rebuilt on main 2bd3f39:

Fixes: N/A
Related: #2890, #2916

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update
  • Refactoring (no functional changes)
  • Build/CI/tooling

Component(s) Affected

  • CLI (cmd/aicr, pkg/cli)
  • API server (cmd/aicrd, pkg/server)
  • Recipe engine / data (pkg/recipe)
  • Bundlers (pkg/bundler, pkg/component/*)
  • Collectors / snapshotter (pkg/collector, pkg/snapshotter)
  • Validator (pkg/validator)
  • Core libraries (pkg/errors, pkg/k8s)
  • Docs/examples (docs/, examples/)
  • Other: recipes/registry.yaml chart pins, new ADR-021 upgrade record

Implementation Notes

The jump is smaller than it looks. Upstream uses CalVer, and the only 26.x releases are 26.3.0, 26.6.0 and 26.10.0 (verified against both the releases API and git ls-remote --tags). So 26.6.0 -> 26.10.0 is a single release, not four.

The chart surface is quiet. Rendered under AICR's own values, the MariaDB resource is byte-identical apart from the helm.sh/chart label. Every consumed values path still resolves, and the CRD delta is five optional fields plus three enum widenings, with no removals, no new required fields and no stored-version change. All 12 CRDs remain single-version v1alpha1.

The slurmdbd wiring contract holds. components/slinky-slurm/values.yaml hardcodes the accounting handshake (Service mariadb, Secret mariadb-password key password, database slurm_acct_db, user slurm, port 3306). A silent rename there would break slurmdbd auth at deploy time rather than render time, so it was checked at the source level as well: api/v1alpha1/mariadb_keys.go, the file that builds every derived resource name, is byte-identical across the bump.

Two things in this release are not visible in the chart diff, and they are the reason this PR is separate.

1. The default server image moves 11.8.8 -> 12.3.3, a MariaDB major version.

AICR never pinned spec.image, so existing clusters would keep 11.8.8 while any newly bundled slurm_acct_db came up on 12.3.3. The mechanism was traced rather than taken from the release note: there is no mutating webhook, and the reconciler persists the resolved image into the live CR, so standing clusters are safe and only fresh installs change engine.

slurmdbd's supported MariaDB matrix has not been verified against 12.3. This PR therefore pins mariadb:11.8.8 explicitly, which:

  • keeps fresh and standing clusters on one engine;
  • makes the version a reviewable AICR decision instead of a side effect of an operator bump;
  • removes the risk that a pruning Argo CD or Flux configuration strips the reconciler-written field;
  • closes a real BOM blind spot. The operator's default lives in its runtime config: block, invisible to a render-based BOM, so slurm-accounting-mariadb previously reported "No images extracted" and now reports mariadb:11.8.8 (unique images 112 to 113). The engine is now under the vulnerability scan for the first time, and make scan passes with it.

Moving to 12.3 should be its own change, with its own UAT.

2. Upstream mandates a data-plane step before the operator upgrade.

updateStrategy.autoUpdateDataPlane=true must be set on every MariaDB before the operator moves, then reverted, because the release changes the replication configuration rendered by the init container and the replication liveness probe served by the agent. The field defaults to false.

That is an upgrade-window procedure, not standing configuration, so it lands as an ADR-021 manual record rather than a values key. Baking true into the values file would contradict upstream's own advice to revert it and would silently update the data plane on every later operator bump.

The record is deliberately manual and carries no verifiedBy: no KWOK or UAT lane has exercised this transition, and a wrong safe is worse than no record. Its from domain opens below the pin (<26.10.0) so no earlier operator version matches nothing, and it carries steps for all five deployers.

The gate was mutation-checked rather than assumed to work: deleting the remainder step group makes check-upgrade-records fail with is manual but has no steps for deployer "argocd" (and argocd-helm, flux), and it returns to PASS once restored. The checker also goes from 2 to 3 components with this record wired in, confirming it is actually loaded rather than passing vacuously.

Upgrade ordering already holds. Upstream upgrades CRDs first, then the operator. All seven Slurm leaves already express exactly that through dependencyRefs, so no ordering work was needed.

Worth carrying forward: the CRD chart must never be helm uninstalled to achieve a version change. That deletes the CRDs and cascade-deletes every MariaDB, User, Database and Grant. Both the record and the catalog note say so.

Watch item, not a blocker: mariadbs.k8s.mariadb.com is now 206128 bytes, about 79 percent of the 262144-byte client-side-apply annotation ceiling, and grew 1563 bytes in this one release.

Testing

make qualify

Every stage that can execute on this machine passes:

Stage Result
lint pass (golangci-lint 0 issues, chart-version pins OK, check-upgrade-records over 3 components)
tuning-check pass
coverage-check pass
license-check pass
api-diff pass
openapi-diff pass
scan pass, including the newly visible mariadb:11.8.8
e2e pass

The test stage has one failure, tests/releasepolicy, which reproduces identically on a pristine upstream/main worktree: .github/scripts/release-images.sh needs bash 4+ (declare -A) and GNU timeout, and macOS ships bash 3.2.57 with no timeout.

test-shell also fails on main independently of this change: github.com/google/cel-go has no reachable license source URL, because the fallback is malformed and contains literal quote characters (https://"github.com/cel-expr/cel-go/"blob/v0.31.0/LICENSE), so both attempts 404.

Golden parity fixtures were regenerated with AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1; the diff touches exactly the seven *-training-slurm leaves and no other leaf.

Risk Assessment

  • Low — Isolated change, well-tested, easy to revert
  • Medium — Touches multiple components or has broader impact
  • High — Breaking change, affects critical paths, or complex rollout

Rollout notes: Fresh installs need no action and stay on mariadb:11.8.8. Upgrading a standing cluster requires the ordered procedure in recipes/components/mariadb-operator/upgrades.yaml, also written up under Upgrade Notes in docs/user/component-catalog.md: set updateStrategy.autoUpdateDataPlane=true, upgrade the CRD chart in place, upgrade the operator, then revert the flag. Any MariaDB outside AICR's recipe that omits spec.image will move to mariadb:12.3.3 on its next reconcile; the record's precondition gives the kubectl command to find those. slurmdbd compatibility with MariaDB 12.3 remains unverified and gates any future engine move.

How to refresh evidence

Run on a cluster matching the recipe's criteria:

aicr snapshot -o snapshot.yaml
# Profiled families (AKS/GKE gpuStack): hydrate the recipe with the
# pointer's recorded 'profile:' selection first — validating the raw
# overlay resolves only the declaration default, and 'aicr validate'
# has no --profile flag. AKS additionally needs the pool projection
# (GKE uses the plain snapshot above):
#   az aks nodepool list -g <rg> --cluster-name <cluster> -o json > pools.json
#   aicr snapshot --aks-gpu-pools pools.json -o snapshot.yaml
#   aicr recipe -s snapshot.yaml --intent <intent> [--platform <platform>] \
#     --profile <name>=<value> -o recipe.yaml
# State the target leaf's intent/platform explicitly (the snapshot
# fingerprint supplies service/accelerator/OS but intent and platform
# default to 'any') and pass -r recipe.yaml below instead of the raw

Preserve the existing Helm release namespace.

Add --namespace <existing-release-namespace> to this command. The registry default is mariadb-system, but inherited bundles can use another namespace. Helm scopes an upgrade request by namespace. If the current namespace differs, --install does not find the existing CRD release and can attempt a separate installation instead. (docs.helm.sh)

Thanks, both findings were real and are fixed. Details on what changed and one deliberate deviation.

Data-plane revert gating (87ff16e6). Both deployer groups now carry an await-dataplane-update step before the revert, waiting on Updated=True and then Ready=True. I checked both condition types against api/v1alpha1/condition_types.go at tag 26.10.0 rather than taking them from the suggestion; ConditionTypeUpdated is documented there as indicating that an update completed successfully.

The one place I did not follow the proposed fix: the step names resources individually instead of passing --all --all-namespaces. HasPendingUpdate and IsUpdating in mariadb_types.go both treat a nil Updated condition as false, so the condition is simply absent until an update is triggered, and kubectl wait does not return early on an absent condition. A blanket wait would sit out the full 15m timeout on every instance that had no roll to do. The step's reason field records that.

Following the mariadb_types.go excerpt further turned up something worth stating outright, so it is now in both the record and the catalog notes: GetDataPlaneInitContainer and GetDataPlaneAgent both require IsHAEnabled(), which is replication or Galera. The init container and agent are the HA data plane and do not exist otherwise, so on AICR's own accounting database (galera.enabled: false, replicas: 1) the patch is accepted and does nothing. The precondition query gained GALERA and REPLICATION columns so an operator can see which of their instances the data-plane steps actually apply to instead of running them blind against every row.

CRD upgrade namespace (e4e188fb). Correct, and worse than cosmetic for this particular chart. Without --namespace the request lands in whatever namespace the kubeconfig context points at, --install does not find the existing release, and Helm installs a second one that then fights the first for ownership of the cluster-scoped CRDs, which is the failure mode the record already warns about because losing those CRDs cascade-deletes every MariaDB, User, Database and Grant.

The step now runs helm list -A | grep mariadb-operator-crds first and passes --namespace. It names mariadb-system because that is the registry default and no overlay overrides it, which I verified rather than assumed, while telling the operator to substitute whatever helm list reported so an inherited bundle on a different layout is not silently mis-targeted.

Scoped to that one step on purpose: the Argo CD and Flux group syncs the release rather than invoking helm, and the operator step re-runs install.sh or helmfile apply, so neither carries a bare helm invocation that could drift from the release namespace.

Verification on the current head: make lint passes, check-upgrade-records passes over 3 components, and the upgrade-record gate was mutation-checked (dropping the remainder step group fails with is manual but has no steps for deployer "argocd", and passes again once restored).

Re-stacked onto the new #2890 head (65b365d) and dropped the stale copy of the kueue commit, then appended one commit for the 2026-09-28 drift report, so this force-pushed ac0cb87 to 95cd7c0.

  • 11ade79, 5c82628 and 30efd59 are the three MariaDB commits replayed. The two fix commits are unchanged, and the first differs only in the regenerated BOM and golden hunks.
  • 95cd7c0 chore(recipes): bump MariaDB charts to 26.10.1: all three pins, BOM and goldens. 26.10.1 adds only optional CRD fields, and its default engine image is still mariadb:12.3.3, so the 11.8.8 pin stays.
  • Upgrade record: the manual record's to now reaches 26.10.1. With the old 26.10.0 ceiling, aicr upgrade-check blocked 26.6.0 -> 26.10.1 at 26.10.0, even though upstream's 26.10.1 guide covers that jump in one step. A new safe record covers 26.10.0 -> 26.10.1: without it check-upgrade-records fails on the gap, and upstream's guide exempts 26.10.x origins. The catalog section now targets 26.10.1.

Four pins from the 2026-09-21 drift report, grouped because all four are
mechanical: no AICR values change is required by any of them.

kueue 0.19.3 -> 0.19.5. The component carries a hand-maintained copy of the
chart's controllerManagerConfigYaml that Helm does not merge, so every bump
has to re-diff that blob against upstream and re-apply the integrations
.frameworks trim. This time the blob is byte-identical between 0.19.3 and
0.19.5, so the re-pin is a verified no-op: nothing to adopt, nothing dropped.
AICR's copy still differs from the 0.19.5 default by exactly the documented
trim and nothing else. CRD templates are byte-identical, and v1beta2 remains
served and stored for resourceflavors/clusterqueues/localqueues, so the three
bundled quota manifests keep their apiVersion. The only rendered change beyond
the image tag is kueue-manager-role gaining delete on
trainer.kubeflow.org/trainjobs, which is upstream-intended; TrainJob is one of
the three frameworks AICR keeps, so the widening is real and worth naming.
0.19.4 fixes TrainJob admission dropping runtime-defined tolerations when
ResourceFlavor tolerations apply, which AICR triggers both halves of.

slinky-slurm, slinky-slurm-operator and slinky-slurm-operator-crds
1.2.0 -> 1.2.2, together: the operator chart declares a dependency on
slurm-operator-crds at the same version, so a partial bump would cross it.
The slurm chart's values.yaml is byte-identical across the bump and the CRDs
render byte-identical, all six kinds still v1beta1 served and stored. The
operator adds one key, metricsSecure, defaulting false. Both maintenance
contracts were re-verified rather than assumed: certManager.enabled=true and
crds.enabled=false still match the 1.2.2 chart defaults, and the three Alpine
sidecars are still :latest upstream, so AICR's 3.23.3 pins stay. 1.2.2 adds a
minimum-slurm-version annotation of 25.11; the pinned 26.05 pyxis images clear
it, so no digest moves.

The version constant in TestComponentRegistry_SlinkySlurmChartVersions moves
with the pins. It is a lockstep guard whose whole purpose is to track them, and
it was observed red against the new pins before being updated, so it still
discriminates. Golden parity files were regenerated with AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1;
the diff touches exactly the seven *-training-slurm leaves and no other leaf.
kueue produces no golden change because no overlay or mixin references it.

No ADR-021 record is required: no CRD delta, no removed or renamed values path,
no API- or stored-version movement in either family.

Signed-off-by: Carlos Eduardo Arango Gutierrez <eduardoa@nvidia.com>
The 2026-09-28 drift report moved kueue past this PR's 0.19.5 pin.

The chart's controllerManagerConfigYaml changed this time, so the pinned
copy in recipes/components/kueue/values.yaml is re-diffed and re-synced:
0.19.6 adds `Cohort.kueue.x-k8s.io: 1` to controller.groupKindConcurrency
(kueue #15876, which syncs the Helm blob with the kustomize config). The
line is adopted so AICR's copy still differs from the chart default by
exactly the integrations.frameworks trim, and nothing else. It does not
change behavior: the Cohort reconciler reads its concurrency from that
map, an absent key yields 0, and controller-runtime v0.24.1 (kueue's pin)
raises 0 to 1.

Other rendered changes against AICR's values: twelve new ClusterRoles,
editor and viewer for admissionchecks, appwrappers, multikueueclusters,
multikueueconfigs, provisioningrequestconfigs and workloadpriorityclasses
(kueue #16032, #16101). All carry rbac.kueue.x-k8s.io/batch-admin and
aggregate into kueue-batch-admin-role, which the chart binds to no
subject. The viewer roles also aggregate into the built-in admin
ClusterRole (the appwrapper viewer into view and edit too), so subjects
already bound to admin gain read on those kinds. kueue-manager-role is
unchanged. The CRD templates are byte-identical to 0.19.5 and v1beta2
stays the storage version for resourceflavors, clusterqueues and
localqueues, so the health check and the three bundled quota manifests
keep their apiVersion. The health check's CRD step comment still named
chart 0.19.3; it now names the current pin.

Release-note review of the two "Actions Required" items in 0.19.6:

- DRA quota accounting now subtracts only the containers' own request,
  so chargeable Pod overhead or a resource-transformation output that
  shares a name with a DRA-backed extended resource stays counted, and
  usage on that name can rise. A default AICR install does not reach
  this path. The pinned kueue config sets no resources.transformations,
  deviceClassMappings or excludeResourcePrefixes (the only matches under
  recipes/components/kueue are the chart's commented-out example), and
  no overlay or mixin references kueue. nvidia-dra-driver-gpu ships with
  resources.gpus.enabled=false, so its gpu.nvidia.com DeviceClass, the
  only one in chart 0.5.0 that declares an extendedResourceName
  (nvidia.com/gpu), is not rendered, and no overlay turns it on. The
  bundled ClusterQueue holds 100000 nvidia.com/gpu of nominal quota, so
  a rise could not change admission against it either. The change
  reaches only a cluster that enabled the DRA full-GPU DeviceClass
  through an override and also has Pod overhead or a transformation
  output under that name.
- SparkApplication now reserves cores and memory overhead. Inert here:
  the integration is commented out in the chart default and AICR's
  frameworks trim does not add it.

The kueue section of docs/user/component-catalog.md does cover
override-reachable changes, but both items need an opt-in AICR does not
ship, and upstream's note already carries the operator actions, so no
0.19.6 note is added there.

make bom-docs moves the kueue row and image to 0.19.6 and nothing else.
make update-goldens produces no change, because kueue is in no stock
leaf.

No ADR-021 record: kueue has none, and this bump moves no CRD, API or
storage version, and no values path.

Signed-off-by: Carlos Eduardo Arango Gutierrez <eduardoa@nvidia.com>
The three MariaDB pins from the 2026-09-21 drift report, moved together:
mariadb-operator-crds, mariadb-operator and slurm-accounting-mariadb (chart
mariadb-cluster) all go 26.6.0 -> 26.10.0. Upstream uses CalVer, so despite the
minor-looking jump the only 26.x releases are 26.3.0, 26.6.0 and 26.10.0; this
is a single release, not four.

The chart surface is quiet. Rendered under AICR's own values the MariaDB
resource is byte-identical apart from the helm.sh/chart label, every consumed
values path still resolves, and the CRD delta is five optional fields plus
three enum widenings with no removals, no new required fields and no
stored-version change. The slurmdbd wiring that makes accounting work at all
(Service mariadb, Secret mariadb-password key password, database
slurm_acct_db, user slurm) was checked against the 26.10.0 render and holds.

Two things in this release are not visible in the chart diff.

The operator's default server image moves from mariadb:11.8.8 to
mariadb:12.3.3, a MariaDB major version. AICR never pinned spec.image, so
existing clusters would keep 11.8.8 while any newly bundled slurm_acct_db came
up on 12.3.3, and slurmdbd's supported MariaDB matrix has not been checked
against 12.3. This pins mariadb:11.8.8 explicitly, which keeps fresh and
standing clusters on one engine and makes the version an AICR decision rather
than a side effect of an operator bump. It also closes a BOM blind spot: the
operator's default lives in its runtime config block where a render-based BOM
cannot see it, so slurm-accounting-mariadb previously reported no images at
all and now reports mariadb:11.8.8. Moving to 12.3 is its own change, with its
own UAT.

Upstream also requires updateStrategy.autoUpdateDataPlane=true on every
MariaDB before the operator upgrade, reverted afterwards, because the release
changes the replication config rendered by the init container and the agent's
replication liveness probe. That is an upgrade-window procedure, not standing
configuration, so it lands as an ADR-021 manual record rather than a values
key: baking true into values would contradict upstream's own revert guidance
and silently update the data plane on every later operator bump. The record is
manual and carries no verifiedBy, because no KWOK or UAT lane has exercised
this transition and a wrong safe is worse than no record. Its from domain
opens below the pin so no earlier operator version matches nothing. The gate
was mutation-checked: dropping the remainder step group makes
check-upgrade-records fail with "manual but has no steps for deployer argocd",
and it passes again once restored.

Golden parity files were regenerated with AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1; the diff
touches exactly the seven *-training-slurm leaves and no other leaf.

Signed-off-by: Carlos Eduardo Arango Gutierrez <eduardoa@nvidia.com>
The upgrade record moved from "upgrade the operator" straight to "revert
autoUpdateDataPlane", with nothing between them. The operator applies the new
init and agent images asynchronously, so a resource still mid-roll when the
flag flips back is stranded on the old data-plane version against a 26.10.0
operator, which is the exact skew the record exists to prevent. Raised by
CodeRabbit on the PR.

Both deployer groups gain an await-dataplane-update step before the revert,
waiting on Updated=True and then Ready=True. Both condition types were checked
against api/v1alpha1/condition_types.go at tag 26.10.0 rather than taken from
the suggestion: ConditionTypeUpdated is documented there as indicating that an
update completed successfully.

The step names resources individually instead of passing --all, and the reason
field says why. HasPendingUpdate and IsUpdating both treat a nil Updated
condition as false, so the condition is simply absent until an update is
triggered, and kubectl wait does not return early on an absent condition. A
blanket --all --all-namespaces wait would therefore burn its full timeout on
every instance that had no roll to do.

Chasing that turned up the larger correction. GetDataPlaneInitContainer and
GetDataPlaneAgent both fail unless IsHAEnabled, which is replication or Galera.
The init container and agent are the HA data plane and do not exist otherwise,
so on AICR's own accounting database (galera disabled, replicas 1) the patch is
accepted and does nothing. The record and the catalog notes now say so, and the
precondition query gained GALERA and REPLICATION columns, so an operator can
see which of their instances the data-plane steps actually apply to instead of
running them blind against every row.

The upgrade record's CRD step ran `helm upgrade --install` with no
`--namespace`. Helm scopes a release by namespace, so the request lands in
whatever namespace the kubeconfig context happens to point at. If that is not
where the release lives, `--install` does not find it and Helm installs a
second release, which then fights the first for ownership of the
cluster-scoped CRDs. That is a bad outcome for the one chart this record
already warns must never be removed, since losing the CRDs cascade-deletes
every MariaDB, User, Database and Grant. Raised by CodeRabbit on the PR.

The step now confirms the namespace with `helm list -A` before upgrading and
passes `--namespace`. It names `mariadb-system` because that is the registry
default and no overlay overrides it, verified rather than assumed, while
telling the operator to substitute what `helm list` actually reported so an
inherited bundle on a different layout is not silently mis-targeted. The
catalog notes carry the same command and the same reasoning.

Scoped to this one step deliberately. The Argo CD and Flux group syncs the
release rather than invoking helm, and the operator step re-runs install.sh or
helmfile apply, so neither carries a bare helm invocation that could drift from
the release namespace.

The 2026-09-28 drift report moved mariadb-operator, mariadb-operator-crds
and mariadb-cluster past this PR's 26.10.0 pins. The three move together,
as before.

26.10.1 is a patch on top of 26.10.0. The CRD delta is additive and
optional only: MariaDB gains updateStrategy.mariadbAutoUpgradeEnabled,
MaxScale gains filters, services[].filters, volumes and status.filtersSpec,
with no removals, no new required field at an existing level and no
served or storage version change. Under AICR's values the mariadb-operator
render moves only the operator image tag, the version labels and the
config checksum that tracks them, and the mariadb-cluster render moves only
its chart label. The operator chart's values.yaml is byte-identical to
26.10.0, so config.mariadbImage stays mariadb:12.3.3 and the mariadb:11.8.8
engine pin in slurm-accounting-mariadb neither moves nor needs to.

Upgrade record. UPGRADE_26.10.1.md "only applies if you are updating from
a version prior to 26.10.x, otherwise you may upgrade directly", and for
that older origin it keeps 26.10.0's procedure: set autoUpdateDataPlane
before the operator moves, CRDs first, then the operator, then revert.
Two changes follow from that.

- The existing manual record keeps from "<26.10.0" and widens its to
  ceiling from 26.10.0 to 26.10.1, with the versions in its steps moved to
  the pin. Left at 26.10.0, the check tells an operator on 26.6.0, which is
  the path every earlier AICR release takes, to stop at 26.10.0 first:
  aicr upgrade-check reported "blocked ... Upgrade to 26.10.0 first" for
  26.6.0 -> 26.10.1 with the old ceiling and reports manual with the five
  steps after.
- A new safe record covers from ">=26.10.0 <26.10.1" to 26.10.1. Without
  it check-upgrade-records fails, because nothing describes an operator on
  26.10.0 against a 26.10.1 pin. Its verifiedBy is the upgrade guide's
  exemption for 26.10.x origins plus the release note. The operator code
  agrees: the only mariadb container change is MARIADB_AUTO_UPGRADE, set
  only when the new flag is true, and the flag defaults to false. manual
  here would block the main path as well: with this record flipped to
  manual, upgrade-check reports 26.6.0 -> 26.10.1 as blocked for crossing
  two recorded boundaries.
  The gate was mutation-checked: dropping verifiedBy, lifting the ceiling
  past the pin, and emptying the from range each fail with the matching
  violation.

docs/user/component-catalog.md now targets 26.10.1 and says a cluster
already on 26.10.0 needs none of the steps.

make bom-docs moves the three rows and the operator image to 26.10.1 and
nothing else. make update-goldens touches the same seven *-training-slurm
leaves as the 26.10.0 bump and no other leaf.

The 2026-09-21 drift report names v0.20.1 as the target for this component.
That is a false positive and taking it would have been a regression.

v0.20.1 is a stale tag whose commit is dated 2025-11-30, ten months older than
v0.17.2 (2026-09-16). It has no GitHub Release, ships 159 lines of values
against v0.17.2's 347, and still points global.registry at the pre-rename
ghcr.io/nvidia/kai-scheduler path. The repository moved to
kai-scheduler/KAI-Scheduler and there are no v0.18 or v0.19 tags at all, so the
drift tool's semver-max comparison selected a numerically higher tag from an
abandoned line. v0.17.2 is the actual latest release, not a prerelease, and is
the series the partner question in Slack was about.

Everything AICR consumes survives the bump, verified against both charts rather
than assumed: global.tolerations, global.nodeSelector (the two paths the
registry injects into), postCleanup.enabled, and the three defaultQueue keys.
The CRD set is unchanged, six CRDs at identical versions, all served and
stored, so queues.scheduling.run.ai/v2 and schedulingshards.kai.scheduler/v1
still back the self-referencing CRs this component's hasSelfRefCRDs flag exists
for. The rendered image set stays at twelve from the same two registry paths,
so no registry-inventory allowlist entry is needed.

Three values keys were removed upstream in v0.17.0: global.fips, renamed to
global.fipsMode in v0.17.1, and queuecontroller.certSecretName and
admission.certSecretName, which upstream describes as unused because the
operator creates and manages the webhook TLS secrets itself. AICR sets none of
the three. The secrets the operator now manages carry different names than the
chart previously defaulted to; the health check asserts on the kai-operator
Deployment and pod phases rather than on secret names, so it is unaffected.

The openshift value added in v0.17.0 does not apply here. It exists because the
chart's OpenShift auto-detection uses a cluster lookup that cannot work under
offline rendering, but recipes/overlays/ocp.yaml sets kai-scheduler to
enabled: false, so AICR does not deploy this component on OpenShift at all. An
offline render with the value unset produces zero SecurityContextConstraints,
matching v0.16.9.

Golden parity fixtures regenerated with AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1. The catalog diff
touches 57 leaves because kai-scheduler is declared in recipes/overlays/base.yaml
rather than per-leaf, so every recipe inheriting base moves with the pin.

…tions

The MariaDB Updated and Ready conditions are computed against whatever
StatefulSet exists, so on a healthy HA instance both are already True
before the 26.10.1 operator first reconciles it. The await step could
return at once and let the revert set autoUpdateDataPlane back to false
before the new operator ran, which leaves 26.10.1 keeping the old init
and agent images.

Replace the condition waits in the helm/helmfile and GitOps procedures,
and in the component-catalog mirror, with jsonpath waits that cannot pass
on the old state: the StatefulSet template carries the 26.10.1 image in
the init and agent containers, every named pod reports it in its
container statuses, then updatedReplicas and readyReplicas reach the
replica count. The operator persists the bumped images into the MariaDB
spec before rendering the StatefulSet, so the revert is safe once the
template carries them.

Checked on Kind (kindest/node v1.37.0) with mariadb-operator 26.6.0 to
26.10.1, replication and Galera at 3 replicas: the new waits time out
before the operator moves, pass after the roll, and the old procedure
reproduces the stranded data plane on a third instance.

The GitOps procedure patched autoUpdateDataPlane=true onto the live MariaDB
while the desired configuration still said false, and asked the reader to
sync promptly. A pruning or self-healing sync restores what git says, and
"promptly" does not order it before the upgraded operator's first reconcile.
If false wins that race, the operator's Galera and replication defaulting
keep the old init and agent images, the data-plane upgrade is skipped, and
the image waits time out.

The Argo CD and Flux steps now commit true to the desired configuration and
sync it before the CRD and operator syncs, confirm the live value, keep it
through the image and rollout waits, and only then commit false. The catalog
procedure says the same for GitOps users at steps 1 and 5.
