Summary

Project spec.snapshot onto the facade. Config.SnapshotAgentConfig() derives
the AgentConfig that Client.CollectSnapshot consumes, closing the third of
the three sections #2245 scoped.

Motivation / Context

Config projected spec.verify, spec.recipe, spec.bundle and
spec.validate; spec.snapshot was reachable only through Unwrap(). This
completes the set, so an integrator can drive the whole workflow from a
committed document without importing pkg/config.

Unblocked by #2120 landing (#2357), which settled AgentConfig.

Refs #2245
Related: #2016, #2521

Type of Change

  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)

Component(s) Affected

  • Core libraries — pkg/client/v1
  • Docs/examples

Implementation Notes

AgentConfig's fields are exported, so this returns a populated struct rather
than an options slice — a caller overrides any field directly.

Three mappings are transforms, and two fail silently if reimplemented:

  • noCleanupCleanup is inverted, the same shape spec.validate has.
    Third section running, so it is pinned both ways again.
  • privilegedPrivileged defaults to true when config says nothing.
    The resolved field is a pointer so unset stays distinct from an explicit
    false, and the CLI applies derefBoolOr(resolved.Privileged, true). The
    naive ptr != nil && *ptr drops privileges the collector needs, and it
    surfaces as missing data rather than an error.
  • requests / limits arrive as raw name=quantity,... strings because
    Resolve() deliberately leaves them unparsed, so a malformed value errors
    here instead of becoming an empty ResourceList.

Both silent transforms are mutation-verified: applying the naive form fails
the new tests.

spec.snapshot.output.format is deliberately not projected. Format is
applied at delivery, not by the agent — the Job always stages YAML in a
ConfigMap, so a format routed through AgentConfig would be silently ignored
(#2398).

Returns a zero-value AgentConfig, never nil. nilnil flagged the
original (nil, nil) return, which was the better prompt: a zero value matches
the "returns zero values" contract in the Config godoc and lets a caller
derive unconditionally.

Also strengthens AgentConfig's stability pin. It was _ = aicr.AgentConfig{}, a bare composite literal that compiles through any rename
or retype. Cleanup, Privileged and Timeout are now pinned by name and
type, since all three are derived through transforms with no other guard.

Testing

make qualify   # green on the committed tree

Value assertions across all 16 projected fields, both transforms mutation-
verified, plus the absent-config path.

Risk Assessment

  • Low — Isolated change, well-tested, easy to revert

Additive: one new Config method. No existing caller changes behavior.

Rollout notes: The CLI still reads spec.snapshot through its own path.
Migrating it is blocked on a design question — see the discussion on #2245
about flag precedence needing "was this set", which the derivations
deliberately collapse.

Checklist

  • Tests pass locally (make test with -race)
  • Linter passes (make lint)
  • 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
  • Changes follow existing patterns in the codebase
  • Commits are cryptographically signed (git commit -S)

Sixteen spec.snapshot settings now reach the agent Job through the facade,
closing the third of the three sections #2245 scoped. AgentConfig's fields
are exported, so this returns a populated struct rather than an options
slice -- a caller overrides any field directly.

Three mappings are transforms, and two fail silently if reimplemented by
hand:

  - noCleanup is INVERTED against Cleanup, the same shape spec.validate
    has. Third section running, so it is pinned both ways again.
  - privileged DEFAULTS TO TRUE when config says nothing. The resolved
    field is a pointer so unset stays distinct from an explicit false, and
    the CLI applies derefBoolOr(resolved.Privileged, true). The naive
    `ptr != nil && *ptr` drops privileges the collector needs, and it
    surfaces as missing data rather than an error. Both mutations fail the
    new tests.
  - requests and limits arrive as raw "name=quantity,..." strings because
    Resolve deliberately leaves them unparsed, so a malformed value errors
    here instead of becoming an empty ResourceList.

spec.snapshot.output.format is not projected, and that is deliberate:
format is applied at delivery, not by the agent. The Job always stages
YAML in a ConfigMap, so a format routed through AgentConfig would be
silently ignored (#2398).

Returns a zero-value AgentConfig rather than nil when the document has no
spec.snapshot, matching the "returns zero values" contract in the Config
godoc and letting a caller derive unconditionally. nilnil flagged the
original (nil, nil) return, which was the better prompt.

Also strengthens AgentConfig's stability pin. It was a bare composite
literal that compiles through any rename or retype; Cleanup, Privileged
and Timeout are now pinned by name and type, since all three are derived
through transforms with no other guard.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds Config.SnapshotAgentConfig, which maps snapshot settings into AgentConfig, applies defaults, parses resource and OS values, maps timeouts, and returns coded validation errors. Tests cover field mapping, cleanup inversion, privileged defaults, absent configuration, OS validation, and API stability. The Go library documentation describes the projection contract.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 57690

This API can carry remotely loaded configuration into privileged snapshot collector settings. Because callers still explicitly invoke collection and existing deployment validation remains in place, the change is mergeable with owner awareness that HTTP(S) configuration sources should be authenticated or integrity-protected.

Coverage unchanged by this PR.

The SnapshotAgentConfig godoc said "Sixteen settings" while listing
eighteen: seventeen assigned in the struct literal plus Timeout
conditionally. The number was wrong when written, not drifted into.

Removed rather than corrected. This is the fourth count in prose in this
workstream that did not match the code beside it, and the list is already
authoritative and self-counting, so the number could only ever go stale.

Reported by CodeRabbit on #2538.

Review findings on #2538. All three verified against the code and
mutation-verified: disabling each fix reproduces the reported behavior.

Absent spec.snapshot applied in-section defaults. Resolve() returns a
NON-nil SnapshotResolved for an absent section, so the `resolved == nil`
guard never fired and a document with no spec.snapshot derived
Cleanup=true and Privileged=true -- contradicting the documented
zero-value contract. Now checks section presence directly.

The test gap was the real failure: the absent case only covered a nil
Config, never a document that omits the section, so it passed on an
ambiguous condition rather than the one it claimed to check.

The consequence is now documented rather than left implicit: a zero
AgentConfig has Privileged=false and is NOT a working configuration.
Defaults apply when the section exists and is silent about a field; a
document that made no snapshot decisions does not get decisions invented
for it, so a caller in that position supplies its own -- as the CLI does
from its flag defaults.

OS bypassed the CLI's normalization. The CLI parses --os through the
criteria registry so undocumented values error and casing is normalized;
copying resolved.OS raw meant "Talos" reached the agent, missed its exact
"talos" match, and would have selected incompatible host mounts. Now
parsed, erroring on undocumented values.

spec.snapshot.output is no longer projected at all. Per AgentConfig.Output's
own godoc, any value that is not a cm:// URI stages to an internal
ConfigMap and delivery becomes the caller's job -- so mapping output.path
onto it would have looked configured and written nothing. Output describes
delivery; AgentConfig describes the collection Job. Dropping the mapping is
more honest than documenting a misleading one, and it makes the whole
section coherently un-projected alongside output.format.
