Description

An implementation of a direct bundle install capability to Operator Controller, currently only supporting registry+v1 bundles.
This implementation adds an OCI image resolver to existing resolver architecture to handle and validate direct bundle attempts for registry+v1 bundles, bypassing catalog resolution phases.
This is intended as a basis for doing additional type sniffing for other content types in the future, for e.g. helm charts.

solves #2686 and non-docs portions of epic #597

This is based off predecessor proof of concept implementations

and the RFC at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fNeEpixSX_D3IHjl-ewb_W79Il4D0eikMAWJupXkmc8/

Summary by CodeRabbit

Summary

  • New Features
    • ClusterExtensions can install bundles directly from OCI images using the experimental image source, supported only by the Boxcutter runtime.
    • OCI image sources do not provide catalog-based dependency resolution or upgrade safety.
  • Bug Fixes
    • OCI image references are validated for format and length, and bundle package metadata must be valid and match the bundle.
    • Catalog sources require a non-empty catalog configuration. OCI image sources require an image reference and cannot include a catalog package name.
  • Documentation
    • Updated API documentation and resource descriptions with source options, validation requirements, and runtime limitations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds direct OCI image sources to ClusterExtension. It updates API types, generated configurations, CRD validation, bundle resolution, feature-gated reconciliation, manifests, documentation, and tests. Bundle source validation also checks package metadata.

Changes

OCI image source support

Layer / File(s) Summary
OCI source contract and schemas
api/v1/..., applyconfigurations/api/v1/..., applyconfigurations/internal/internal.go, applyconfigurations/utils.go, docs/api-reference/..., helm/olmv1/base/operator-controller/crd/..., manifests/*.yaml
SourceConfig supports Catalog and experimental OCIImage. The OCI image reference has schema validation. Generated apply configurations, CRD schemas, manifests, and API documentation describe the new source. Standard schemas remain Catalog-only.
Bundle package-property contract
internal/operator-controller/rukpak/bundle/source/..., internal/testing/bundle/fs/bundlefs.go, internal/operator-controller/applier/*_test.go
Bundle sources validate the CSV olm.package property. The bundle filesystem test builder can add a default package property or suppress it. Tests cover package metadata and generated annotations.
Direct OCI image resolution
internal/operator-controller/resolve/...
OCIImageResolver builds bundle metadata from a pulled image filesystem. MultiResolver exposes source-specific catalog and fallback behavior.
Feature-gated reconciliation integration
cmd/operator-controller/main.go, internal/operator-controller/controllers/clusterextension_*.go
The OCI resolver is registered when Boxcutter is enabled. Reconciliation validates direct sources and uses resolver behavior to control error fallback. Catalog checks use package-name presence.
Source validation and Catalog compatibility
internal/operator-controller/controllers/*_test.go, internal/operator-controller/resolve/catalog_test.go, api/v1/validation_test.go, internal/object-controller/controllers/*_test.go, test/extension-developer-e2e/...
Tests cover OCI image admission and direct-source validation. Catalog fixtures use value-based CatalogFilter fields.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to e0332

Resolve the admission and bundle-compatibility regressions before merging: direct OCI sources can be rejected, registry-port references fail validation, and existing catalog installations can fail on previously accepted images.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e0332

Direct image installation retains cluster-wide installation authority while removing catalog selection and upgrade checks. Image identity and admission-rule inconsistencies need attention to preserve trustworthy revision records and recovery behavior. No new privilege escalation was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new resolver records the returned canonical digest as bundle and revision identity, but the shared puller resolves that digest before copying from the original reference. If a registry writer moves a tag between those operations, different content may be cached and installed under the earlier digest. The puller condition is pre-existing; the new direct path makes it authoritative for persisted digest identity, affecting provenance and recovery. Digest inputs avoid this tag race, and configured signature policies constrain acceptable content, but no explicit copied-manifest comparison is visible in the inspected pull/cache path. The outcome remains inferred rather than runtime-verified.
  • Medium · architecture · inferred: The experimental generated CRD does not implement the declared source union consistently: it omits the OCI payload required/forbidden rule and evaluates catalog.size() even when Catalog should be absent. Valid direct-source admission or updates needed for recovery may fail before reconciliation can run. Controller validation rejects missing direct references, but cannot repair admission failures. This is a source/schema control-drift concern; the precise API-server failure behavior was not exercised.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A principal able to select direct bundle images can direct content into a cluster-admin installation path. The maximum architectural exposure is the managed cluster, rather than a service-account-isolated tenant. Actual writers, admission restrictions and deployment-specific exposure were not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A writer controlling a selected mutable registry tag could move it after manifest-digest resolution but before image copying. The inspected code then stores unpacked content under the earlier digest, which the direct resolver propagates into revision identity. This is a conditional identity-integrity concern, not a verified exploit or a demonstrated new privilege escalation.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new source bypasses Catalog selection but retains explicit discriminator dispatch, runtime gating, nonempty-reference validation, downstream reference parsing and package-metadata checks. These controls constrain source shape and content consistency; they are not registry authorization controls.
  • observed — The pre-existing shared puller loads the default signature policy and substitutes insecureAcceptAnything if policy loading fails. The PR reuses this behavior rather than introducing the fallback. Effective signing and registry restrictions depend on deployed configuration, which was not available.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Installed resources retain the existing revision ownership lifecycle. The shared cache is keyed by extension owner and digest, removes failed unpack content, garbage-collects superseded entries, and has a deletion finalizer. These are failure-containment mechanisms, not proof of atomic cache visibility under every concurrent interruption.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bind copying to the resolved immutable reference, or verify the copied manifest against that digest before caching and publishing revision identity. Exercise tag movement and recovery as identity-invariant cases.
  • proposed — Align generated admission rules with presence-safe source-union semantics, including both required and forbidden payload cases, so admission and controller dispatch agree across source changes and recovery states.

Agreed. This is validating that the specified package name aligns with the self-identification of that package, once unpacked. It wasn't being done in the past when dealing with catalog-sourced content, and it made some sense to include the check for manually-specified images.
I don't think we really require this, so I'll drop it for now.

Should we make this a pointer with omitempty to match *CatalogFilter. Then the XValidation check can also follow the same pattern?

I know omitzero makes it possible to have a non-pointer here, which is generally preffered, but I think consistency among the union members is probably more important than using the new Go 1.24+ features just for new union members.

Another thing I think we are free to do is change CatalogFilter to a non-pointer. I don't think that would break (de-)serialization, and our public API guarantee is our Kuberentes API, not our Go types.

I originally did, and coderabbit flagged for omitzero instead.
Since there is not a significance between nil and unconfigured, omitzero makes sense here. Otherwise we just introduce a bunch of nil checks for no benefit.
We're already failing crdiff because of description delta, so we would have to override it anyway. I think we might be able to go value for CatalogFilter+omitzero and achieve the same goals while being consistent in the overall approach.

Otherwise we just introduce a bunch of nil checks for no benefit.

Ehh, if we have API level validation that says "if sourceType is OCIImage, then ociImage must be set", I feel like it is perfectly reasonable to skip nil checks if we're already switching on sourceType.

Also, I'd go out on a (short?) limb and say "coderabbit is wrong" to suggest that we follow a different type pattern among different union members. I feel like the only right answers are:

  • all non-pointers with omitzero, OR
  • all pointers with omitempty

I think we'd see go-apidiff fail but no mention in crddiff (I don't think the CRD schema would actually change, but I might be wrong).

I think I prefer to use instances with omitzero for cases where the difference between nil & non-initialized isn't meaningful.
I've implemented that way, including CEL validations which match, and we can discuss if that seems problematic.

If the ref uses a tag, what is our behavior when the tag is moved to a different digest in the image registry? And then the follow-up question would be: is that the behavior that users would expect/that we want to support?

We should document that behavior and test for it. Alternatively, we could require a digest at least to start. I know the UX of that is worse, but it is simpler for us to deal with and easier for readers of this API to reason about.

I think that if we continue to claim that DBI-manifested bundle versions are not continuously reconciled with catalogs, we can easily make the case that the tag reference is a fire-and-forget with no discovery on the floating tag.
I think there are definitely folks who would be surprised about this, but I think it's a reasonable stance for a first iteration.

Supply a valid reference in the feature-gate test.

The fixture leaves OCIImage.Ref empty. After Line 25 enables Boxcutter, ValidateDirectBundle returns sourceType "OCIImage" requires ociImage.ref. The require.NoError assertion on Line 26 therefore fails.

Set a valid reference so this test isolates the feature gate.

Proposed fix
-	ext := &ocv1.ClusterExtension{Spec: ocv1.ClusterExtensionSpec{Source: ocv1.SourceConfig{SourceType: ocv1.SourceTypeOCIImage}}}
+	ext := &ocv1.ClusterExtension{Spec: ocv1.ClusterExtensionSpec{Source: ocv1.SourceConfig{
+		SourceType: ocv1.SourceTypeOCIImage,
+		OCIImage:   ocv1.OCIImageSource{Ref: "quay.io/example/operator:latest"},

Update the ClusterExtension fixture in the feature-gate test to set a valid
non-empty OCI image reference in OCIImage.Ref, so ValidateDirectBundle tests the
feature gate without failing source validation.

- Around line 152-153: Update the Catalog and OCIImage XValidation rules on
ClusterExtension to use has() presence checks instead of calling size() on
potentially omitted value fields. Preserve the requirement that each field is
present only for its matching sourceType, and regenerate the manifests so the
experimental CRD includes the OCIImage rule.
- Around line 241-246: Update the OCI image validation rules in the
ClusterExtension type to extract tags and digests from the final path segment,
so registry ports are not mistaken for identifiers; validate the identifier
there. Anchor the repository-name check so invalid path segments cannot pass
through an unanchored match. Add admission test cases covering rejected invalid
repository paths.

Parse the tag and digest after the repository path, not from the first :.

The tag and digest rules extract the identifier with self.find(':.*$'). When the registry has a port, that match starts at the port.

  • For quay.io:5000/example/operator:latest, the extracted value is :5000/example/operator:latest. It fails ':[\w][\w.-]*$' because it contains /.
  • For quay.io:5000/example/operator@sha256:aaa…, the extracted value also starts at the port. It fails the hex rule ':[0-9A-Fa-f]*$'.

Both port cases in TestClusterExtensionOCIImageSourceConfig expect success, so those tests fail.

The name rule on Line 240 has a separate gap. It uses an unanchored find, so an invalid segment such as Operator still passes.

Derive the identifier after the last / (for example, self.split('/') and take the last element), then validate the tag or digest from that element. Anchor the full repository-path check. Add admission cases that must be rejected.

crd-diff "failure" is an "incompatible" description between standard / experimental manifests. IMHO, this is fine.

api-diff-lint "failures" are a seeming inability to understand omitzero directive, and are IMHO fine:

 === NEW ISSUES ===
api/v1/clusterextension_types.go:189:2:kubeapilinter:optionalfields: field SourceConfig.Catalog has a valid zero value ({"packageName": ""}) and should be a pointer.
api/v1/clusterextension_types.go:197:2:kubeapilinter:optionalfields: field SourceConfig.OCIImage has a valid zero value ({"ref": ""}) and should be a pointer.
api/v1/clusterextension_types.go:250:2:kubeapilinter:requiredfields: field OCIImageSource.Ref has a valid zero value (""), but the validation is not complete (e.g. minimum length). The field should be a pointer to allow the zero value to be set. If the zero value is not a valid use case, complete the validation and remove the pointer.

I'm actually a little concerned with go-apidiff results like

    Incompatible changes:
    - ClusterExtensionSpec: old is comparable, new is not
    - SourceConfig.Catalog: changed from *CatalogFilter to CatalogFilter
    - SourceConfig: old is comparable, new is not

Maintaining comparability /might/ be important????
Otherwise I think the (de)serialization is probably unaffected.
