fix(recipes): raise K8s floors to clear the DRA chart's kubeVersion

[yuanchen8911]

Summary

Raises the K8s.server.version floor to >= 1.32 on the 29 overlays that declared a lower one, so no recipe admits a cluster the pinned NVIDIA DRA driver chart will refuse to install on. Adds a guard so the reconciliation cannot drift back.

Fixes: #2402

Motivation / Context

Every recipe carries a DRA driver. base.yaml declares nvidia-dra-driver-gpu, and the one overlay that disables it — recipes/overlays/ocp.yaml — substitutes nvidia-dra-driver-gpu-ocp in its place. Both resolve to the same upstream chart, which declares:

kubeVersion: ">=1.32.0-0"

Helm refuses the install below that. So 29 overlays declaring a lower floor admitted clusters that pass every recipe-time check and then fail at helm install. The recipe validates clean and the deploy breaks, which is the worst place for it to surface.

This was already diagnosed once and never generalized. recipes/overlays/ocp.yaml carries >= 1.32 with the comment:

"Raised from >= 1.29 so DRA's floor doesn't silently pass recipe-time constraint checks and then fail at helm install."

Same chart, same reasoning, one family. This reconciles the rest of the catalog.

Related: #2438 (same missing-requirement-expression pattern, driver-version instance), #2439 (GPU stack bump — see Sequencing)

Implementation Notes

Why every declaration, not just base.yaml

Raising the base floor alone would not have worked. Constraints merge by name with the later overlay winning and no max comparison — RecipeMetadataSpec.Merge in pkg/recipe/metadata.go for top-level spec.constraints, mergeValidationPhase in pkg/recipe/validation.go for validation-phase constraints — so a leaf declaring ">= 1.30" silently overwrites a higher floor inherited from base.

That is the same last-wins hazard documented for driver floors in #2438, showing up in a second issue — it is a general property of the constraint system, not a quirk of one constraint name.

The golden churn demonstrates it. Exactly 17 of 49 leaves moved: those inheriting a raised floor, including every *-any wildcard. The leaves that did not move declare their own >= 1.34 or >= 1.32.4, which already cleared 1.32 and were overwriting base's value anyway — so their effective constraint is unchanged.

Overlays raised

29 declarations, all from a sub-1.32 value to >= 1.32:

Previous floor	Overlays
>= 1.31	all seven LKE (lke*, rtx-pro-6000-lke-*)
>= 1.30	17, incl. a100-eks-training, a100-oke-training, l40s-oke-*, eks-training, eks-inference, gke-cos-training, gke-cos-inference, oke-ol-*, kind-inference
>= 1.28	platform bases eks.yaml, gke-cos.yaml, oke-ol.yaml
>= 1.25	base.yaml, kind.yaml

The guard

TestOverlayK8sFloorsClearDRAChartFloor asserts that no overlay or mixin declares a floor which admits a cluster below the chart's kubeVersion. It verified 95 declarations on this branch.

It does not read the expression — it proves a lower bound on it. Each overlay and mixin is decoded into the typed recipe.RecipeMetadata, and every K8s.server.version constraint found in spec.constraints, in any validation phase, and in any profile value is parsed with the shipping parser (constraints.ParseCompoundConstraint). proveExpressionClearsFloor then walks the parsed structure and proves its effective lower bound symbolically.

Two set-theoretic facts carry the proof. An AND group's satisfying set is the intersection of its terms, so the group clears the floor as soon as any one term does. A compound's satisfying set is the union of its groups, so every group must clear it — one loose alternative admits a sub-floor cluster regardless of its siblings. Only >=, >, == and a bare exact version place a lower bound; <, <= and != place none.

Symbolic proof rather than sampling is the point. An earlier version of this guard evaluated each expression against a fixed list of probe versions, which cannot cover the grammar: ">= 1.32 || > 1.31.0 < 1.31.2" is valid catalog syntax, is accepted by the production evaluator for Kubernetes 1.31.1, and passed the sampled guard. Typed decoding likewise removes YAML layout — key order, quoting style, comments, indentation — from the picture entirely.

The guard fails closed on anything it cannot reason about: an unparseable value, major-only precision (>= 1), an unknown operator, zero alternatives, or an empty group. It also fails when zero declarations match, so it cannot go silently inert. One deliberate conservatism is documented in code: for > v the prover requires v itself to clear the floor, which is conservative by one unit at the declared precision (one whole minor for a minor-precision value) but never fails open, since the patch component is unbounded.

Coupling to the registry. TestDRAChartFloorAuditIsCurrent holds an audit table recording, per DRA component, the chart version whose kubeVersion was actually read. Both catalog DRA components are enrolled — OCP disables the generic nvidia-dra-driver-gpu and substitutes nvidia-dra-driver-gpu-ocp, so covering only the generic one would leave the OCP chain unguarded. If a pin in registry.yaml moves away from the audited version, the test fails until someone re-reads the chart's kubeVersion and updates the table. That is the point: the guard cannot sit green at a stale floor after a chart bump.

Controls demonstrated. Each was applied to recipes/overlays/base.yaml, the guard was run, and the probe reverted; git status --porcelain is clean afterwards.

Probe	Result
value: written before name: in the mapping, floor ">= 1.30"	fails — OR alternative 1 (">= 1.30") carries no lower bound at or above 1.32.0
compound ">= 1.32 || >= 1.29"	fails — OR alternative 2 (">= 1.29") carries no lower bound
exact pin "== 1.30"	fails — OR alternative 1 ("== 1.30") carries no lower bound
duplicate declaration, second one ">= 1.28"	fails — later declarations are genuinely checked
single-quoted '>= 1.29'	fails — quoting style is invisible to typed decoding
registry pin drift, nvidia-dra-driver-gpu 0.4.1 → 0.5.0	TestDRAChartFloorAuditIsCurrent fails: pinned at "0.5.0" but its kubeVersion was audited at "0.4.1"
compound with a bounded sub-floor range ">= 1.32 || > 1.31.0 < 1.31.2"	fails — OR alternative 2 carries no lower bound at or above 1.32.0, so at least one cluster below the chart floor satisfies it

The last is the shape that defeated the previous sampled version of this guard, and is now a permanent row in TestProveExpressionClearsFloor. TestProveExpressionRejectsWhatTheEvaluatorAdmits is an adversarial companion: it independently asserts the production evaluator really does accept 1.31.1 for that expression. Without it, a prover bug that rejected everything would leave the table green — a vacuous pass.

Typed decoding also surfaced one declaration the earlier text scan had never counted — 95 rather than 94.

What this does not do

The alternative from #2402 — making the nvidia-dra-driver-gpu componentRef conditional on server version so low-floor overlays omit it — is not implemented. It is more invasive and would leave those overlays without ComputeDomain/IMEX. It would only be worth revisiting if some family genuinely needs to support sub-1.32 clusters, which nothing in the catalog currently asserts.

Sequencing

Merge #2439 first, then this, then #2446. All three regenerate the same two parity-golden files and will conflict pairwise. Resolve by rebasing and regenerating — these are derived files, and hand-picking a conflict side produces a golden matching neither tree.

Testing

make qualify
golangci-lint run -c .golangci.yaml ./pkg/recipe/... ./pkg/defaults/...
go test -race ./pkg/recipe/... ./pkg/defaults/...
AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 go test ./pkg/recipe/... -run TestCatalogParityGolden
AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 go test ./pkg/bundler/... -run TestStockRenderParityGolden

golangci-lint on ./pkg/recipe/... and ./pkg/defaults/... reports 0 issues., captured to a file and gated on the exit code rather than piped.

Golden regeneration was needed only for the constraint-value changes. The goldens are leaf: sha256 lines only — no structural changes — and the 17 moved leaves are fully accounted for above. The later guard rework is test-only and the comment corrections are comments, so neither moved the goldens; that was confirmed rather than assumed by re-running both parity tests without AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN.

The seven guard controls are in the Implementation Notes table above. Each was applied to the working tree, run, and reverted, and the tree was confirmed clean afterwards.

make qualify passes on the current head. Verified by reading the log rather than trusting the exit code: 9,926 lines, zero --- FAIL lines, the Codebase qualification completed sentinel present, and QUALIFY_EXIT=0.

Note for reproduction: make qualify cannot complete inside a restricted sandbox — tools/api-diff_test.sh fails with mktemp: Operation not permitted, and overriding TMPDIR does not help because the script resets it. The passing run was unsandboxed. A sandboxed attempt was also observed to report exit code 0 while its log showed failures, which is why the verdict above is quoted from the log rather than the exit status.

Risk Assessment

• Low
• Medium — Touches multiple components or has broader impact
• High

The change itself is 29 constraint values and one test. What makes it Medium is the user-visible effect: a cluster on Kubernetes 1.30 or 1.31 that previously resolved a recipe will now be rejected at generation.

That is the intended fix, not a regression — such a cluster was already broken, it just failed later and less legibly, at helm install. Nobody loses a working configuration; they lose a configuration that only appeared to work until deploy time.

Rollout notes: No cluster-side action. Anyone pinned below 1.32 who relied on recipe generation succeeding will now get a clear constraint failure naming the required version instead of a Helm chart requires kubeVersion error mid-deploy.

Checklist

• Tests pass locally (make test with -race)
• Linter passes (make lint) — golangci-lint on ./pkg/recipe/... and ./pkg/defaults/... reports 0 issues
• I did not skip/disable tests to make CI green
• I added/updated tests for new functionality
• I updated docs if user-facing behavior changed — the user-facing docs regenerated with the floor bump are in the diff (docs/user/cli-reference.md, docs/user/component-catalog.md, demos/query.md), and two stale in-code references were corrected: the MirrorDefaultKubeVersion note that still named the old >= 1.25 base floor, and the A100 GKE comment that contrasted its own floor with an H100 floor it now shares
• Changes follow existing patterns in the codebase
• Commits are cryptographically signed (git commit -S)

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
# overlay.
aicr validate \
  -r recipes/overlays/<slug>.yaml \
  -s snapshot.yaml \
  --emit-attestation ./out \
  --push ghcr.io/<your-fork>/aicr-evidence
# Copy to the per-source path printed in the emit 'copyTo' hint:
#   recipes/evidence/<slug>/<source>/<bundle-digest>.yaml

constraint test with YAML record decoding so every constraint’s complete value
is evaluated, including compound expressions such as “>= 1.32 || <= 1.31”.
Validate the decoded value against the supported floor grammar and ensure
records with intervening fields between name and value are detected; add
regressions covering both cases.

probe sweep to include each parsed constraint term’s bound value in the readings

Preserve the existing supported readings and global checked-count behavior, and
revise the no-match error text to describe the expanded probe set rather than
claiming only the 1.<floor> through 1.60 range was tested.

Multi-persona review — Approve with comments

Method. Four independent persona reviewers (Correctness, Domain/Recipe-architecture, Test-quality, Docs) ran in parallel against the resolved code at head a5466d2c, then every finding was re-derived from scratch by an adversarial senior meta-reviewer that confirmed, refuted, or re-tiered it.

Legend: 🔴 Blocker · 🟠 Major · 🟡 Minor · 🔵 Nitpick

Overall

Well-argued, correctly-scoped bug fix. Every recipe carries a DRA driver whose Helm chart requires kubeVersion >=1.32.0-0, so any overlay declaring a sub-1.32 floor validated clean and then failed at helm install. The fix raises all 29 sub-1.32 declarations to >= 1.32 on every leaf rather than just base.yaml — which is necessary: constraints merge last-wins with no max comparison (RecipeMetadataSpec.Merge, mergeValidationPhase), so a low leaf value silently overwrites a raised base.

The guard test is the standout. I could not construct any expression that admits a sub-1.32 cluster while the symbolic prover reports "cleared" — no false-pass path exists, and it fails closed on unparseable values, major-only precision, unknown operators, and empty groups/alternatives. TestDRAChartFloorAuditIsCurrent genuinely couples the floor to the registry.yaml pins, and TestProveExpressionRejectsWhatTheEvaluatorAdmits grounds the tricky-case verdict in the production evaluator rather than the prover's self-agreement.

Independently verified sound: all 91 K8s floor declarations clear 1.32 at head (mixins declare none); the DRA driver is universal and only ocp.yaml disables + substitutes the -ocp variant; both registry pins are 0.4.1 (audit passes); both golden files moved an identical, expected set of 16 leaves; and the doc edits are accurate — including correctly not changing MirrorDefaultKubeVersion (1.33.0, which must stay ≥ the chart floor).

Nothing here blocks merge. Every surviving finding is a doc/comment/error-string accuracy issue. Six are anchored inline (all in the new test file). Three more sit outside the diff hunks and are listed below.

Additional 🔵 nitpicks (outside the diff, not inline-able)

• 🔵 recipes/overlays/l40s-oke-training.yaml (~line 31) — the comment still frames the raised >= 1.32 floor as an Ada-Lovelace / no-ComputeDomain choice to "keep the OKE training baseline," but the sibling a100-gke-cos-training.yaml had its parallel comment rewritten in this PR to attribute the floor to "the catalog-wide 1.32 baseline the DRA driver chart's kubeVersion sets." Mirror that rewrite.
• 🔵 recipes/overlays/a100-oke-training.yaml (~line 30) — same architectural framing after raising >= 1.30 → >= 1.32, without the DRA-baseline rewrite its GKE sibling received. Same one-line clarification.
• 🔵 demos/images/recipe.md:118 — the mock VALIDATE row | K8s.server.version >= 1.28 | >=1.28 | 1.31 | PASS | sits under the chain base→eks→eks-training→gb200-eks-ubuntu-training, which now resolves >= 1.34 (last-wins). Doubly stale: no 1.28 floor exists anymore, and a 1.31 cluster would FAIL a >=1.34 floor, not PASS. It's an image-generation prompt (not rendered user doc) and predates this PR, so optional — e.g. >= 1.34 | >=1.34 | 1.34 | PASS keeps the mock self-consistent.

Confirmed non-issues (examined, no defect)

• Prover soundness — no false-pass constructible; fails closed on every unparseable / unknown-operator / precision<2 / empty-group / empty-OR / checked==0 path.
• Merge is last-wins, no max — raising every leaf is the correct and only fix.
• Coverage complete — collectK8sFloorDeclarations reaches spec.constraints + all four validation phases + profile values; mixins carry no K8s floor.
• DRA driver universal — only ocp.yaml disables and substitutes the -ocp variant; nothing is over-constrained.
• Registry pins both 0.4.1, matching the audit map.
• Goldens — exactly 16 leaves moved in each of the two files, identical key sets, matching the PR's accounting.
• Doc edits (cli-reference.md, component-catalog.md, demos/query.md, timeouts.go) accurate; MirrorDefaultKubeVersion value correctly unchanged.
• Test robustness — fail-closed vacuous-pass guard; t.Parallel/shared-slice safe (probeReadings allocates fresh); adversarial controls meaningful.

Summary

🔴 Blocker	🟠 Major	🟡 Minor	🔵 Nitpick	Recommendation
0	0	2	7	Approve with comments

Both 🟡 items are trivial cleanups in the test file (a renamed-away symbol and a misattributed godoc comment) worth folding into one quick commit; the 🔵 items are optional. None gate merge.

Note: the only other "human" reviewer GitHub shows on this PR is the author's own self-comments, so there's no external review being duplicated. CodeRabbit's open inline item is captured as the TQ3 nitpick.
