We need jq -s because the catalog format is in JSONLines (jsonl) format, not monolithic JSON, and slurp-mode forces it to re-represent it inside a monolithic object. Without this, jq will error.

jq handles JSON Lines (JSONL/NDJSON) natively — each JSON object on a separate line is read as a separate input and the filter is applied to each one independently. No -s needed:

$ echo '{"schema":"olm.package","name":"foo"}
{"schema":"olm.channel","name":"bar"}' | jq 'select(.schema == "olm.package") | .name'
"foo"

The filters were adjusted to remove the .[] | prefix that was only needed in slurp mode (where jq wraps all inputs into a single array). Without -s, jq iterates over inputs automatically, so select(...) applies directly to each object.

The benefit of dropping -s is constant-memory processing — jq processes each JSON object as it arrives from the pipe instead of buffering the entire catalog (~100+ MB for operatorhubio) into memory before processing. The original exit status 5 (jq system error) was likely caused by this memory pressure. The full test suite (all 4 scenarios, 30 steps) passes locally with this change.

`curl -sS -k --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors https://%s/catalogs/%s/api/v1/all | jq '%s'`,

Good catch — updated to curl -sS so transport/TLS errors are surfaced on stderr while keeping normal output quiet. This pairs well with the new stderr-to-ExitError propagation in bash().

These changed functions will no longer return an error. Should the context be checked for a timeout so that an error can be returned?

The waitFor function uses require.Eventually(godog.T(ctx), ..., timeout, tick) which calls t.FailNow() on timeout — the function never returns on failure, it hard-fails the test via runtime.Goexit(). This matches the established pattern used by PodHasContainerCount in the same file (line 209) and dozens of other step functions throughout the test suite. So from a test perspective, the behavior is: either the condition is met within 5 minutes, or the scenario fails immediately.
