Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Replaced the hands-on OpenShift lifecycle guide with an overview of WAO, OLM, and operand responsibilities, deployment options, the expected upgrade workflow, and current testing status.
    • Documented installation and enablement through WorkloadAvailabilityConfig, along with operand manifest and image synchronization.
    • Removed cluster prerequisites, readiness commands, trial steps, cleanup instructions, and detailed lifecycle caveats.

The overview replaces proof-of-concept installation and lifecycle instructions with information about WAO responsibilities, operand configuration and deployment, an expected upgrade sequence, testing status, and planned work.

Changes: WAO overview

Layer / File(s) Summary
Responsibilities and operand workflow
docs/Overview.md
The document describes OLM, WAO, and operand responsibilities, configuration, manifest synchronization, and deployment workflows.
Upgrade and project status
docs/Overview.md
The document covers an expected upgrade sequence, testing status, operand branch tracking, and next steps.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~4 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 69895

Clarify the purge script’s destructive scope before sharing the overview. A reader following the cleanup guidance on a working cluster could delete resources they intend to keep.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Updating docs/Overview.md to capture high level understanding" names the changed file and states the purpose of the rewrite. The raw summary shows the change replaces a hands-on OpenShift lifecycle trial with a design and developer overview, so the title is related to the main change. It is somewhat generic about what the overview covers, but it refers to the real change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description says the file docs/Overview.md is being reworked in preparation to share with the team. This relates directly to the changeset, which rewrites docs/Overview.md. The description is brief but on topic.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Review comments at @docs/Overview.md:
- Around line 90-98: The second Goal section contains a duplicate heading and
unfinished placeholder fragments. In the Overview document, complete the section
with meaningful content or remove it, while preserving the earlier Goal section.
- Line 134: Wrap the internal/operands/manifests/&lt;operand
name&gt;/objects.yaml placeholder path in backticks in the relevant Markdown
bullet so it renders literally and remains visible.
- Line 131: Change the “Additional cleanup in WAO code” list item from number 2
to number 3, leaving the surrounding list content unchanged.
- Line 23: Correct the spelling and possessive usage in the Overview document,
including the installation sentence and the other identified prose: fix
“installtion,” “responsbilitlities,” and “availabile,” and use “its” where the
sentence requires a possessive rather than “it's.”
- Line 27: Update the disable-cleanup description in the overview to clarify
that WAO removes only its managed installation objects; operand agents,
component configuration, and native resources may remain and cause the
controller to report DisableIncomplete, while foreign objects are left untouched
and do not independently trigger that phase. Point users to the
component-specific cleanup procedure.
- Line 57: Update step 6 to describe creating the operand’s rendered runtime
manifests, and present Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, and Webhooks as
examples that may apply rather than a fixed resource set.

Remove the stale bundle-k8s task.

Makefile already defines bundle-k8s as an alias for bundle. Remove this completed task from the next-steps list.

Suggested fix
-    - Implement `bundle-k8s`, we currently only create a bundle for `ocp`

Fix the repository links in the configuration and operand section.

docs/Overview.md is in docs/, so relative link targets resolve from that directory. Links to config/..., internal/..., and operands.yaml need a ../ prefix. The docs/updating-operand-manifests.md link adds docs/ twice. Link to updating-operand-manifests.md instead.

🔧 Suggested fix
-            - RBAC: [config/operands/nhc/overlays/rbac/kustomization.yaml](config/operands/nhc/overlays/rbac/kustomization.yaml)
+            - RBAC: [config/operands/nhc/overlays/rbac/kustomization.yaml](../config/operands/nhc/overlays/rbac/kustomization.yaml)
-                - [internal/operands/manifests/nhc/objects.yaml](internal/operands/manifests/nhc/objects.yaml)
+                - [internal/operands/manifests/nhc/objects.yaml](../internal/operands/manifests/nhc/objects.yaml)

The docs/configuring_resources.md target does not exist at this revision. A ../ prefix does not fix it. Remove this reference, or point it to an existing document such as the sample file linked on the line above.

- Line 37: Remove the stray `ß` after the closing parenthesis in the RBAC
bullet, leaving the sentence ending at `WAO's RBAC)`.
- Line 114: Update the image-source instruction in the overview to identify
operands.yaml as the source of truth and explain that the sync target updates
config/manager/manager.yaml; do not direct users to edit the generated manager
manifest.
- Line 161: Update the documentation around the hack/enable_all.sh link to
clarify that it enables all six components for testing, not selective user
configuration; direct readers to edit the cluster resource to enable components
selectively, and keep the link under the testing note or label it as an
all-components test helper.
- Line 154: Update the cleanup bullet in the Overview documentation to clearly
limit `wao-purge.sh` to disposable test clusters and state that it deletes
operand custom resources cluster-wide, their CRDs, and the WAO namespace.

- First phase of work is walking through the manual upgrade flow and then working towards this in a CLI.
- Would like to have a declarative way to run this flow for shops that have fully adopted GitOps.

here.. let's just plan on publishing an argo and pipelines workflow that walks the steps that can be used as a reference. We can even have the customer download the argo container w/ the cli binary on it.. will be super easy

I would note that ANY upgrade tooling is not published in RHWA 5.9 on OCP 5.1 but in the next Z of RHWA 5.8 :)
