Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added active/passive high availability configuration for the Argo CD Agent principal, including primary and replica roles, peer settings, replication clients, and admin endpoint options.
    • HA settings are applied to the principal’s deployment and network policy. The admin port defaults to 8405, and the replication acknowledgement timeout defaults to 5 minutes.
    • Replica configuration requires a peer address when HA is enabled.
    • Added guidance for configuring principal HA, including prerequisites and manual service setup.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented end-to-end test cleanup from attempting cluster-scoped resource deletion when the Kubernetes client is unavailable.

The change adds active/passive HA settings for the Argo CD Agent principal in both API versions. The operator applies those settings to the principal deployment and NetworkPolicy. The change also adds HA documentation and end-to-end coverage, and guards cleanup in four existing end-to-end tests.

Changes: Principal HA configuration and reconciliation

Layer / File(s) Summary
HA API and version support
argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_types.go, argocd-operator/api/v1beta1/argocd_types.go, config/crd/bases/argoproj.io_argocds.yaml, bundle/manifests/argoproj.io_argocds.yaml, argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_conversion.go, argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go, argocd-operator/api/v1beta1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go, argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_conversion_test.go, argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_types_test.go
Both API versions and CRD schemas define principal HA settings, including validation that an enabled replica has a non-empty peer address. Conversion and deep-copy support carry HA settings across versions. Tests cover the fields and conversion results.
Deployment and NetworkPolicy reconciliation
argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/deployment.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/networkpolicy.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/service.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/deployment_test.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/networkpolicy_test.go
When HA is enabled, the principal deployment receives HA environment variables, a peer-TLS mount and volume, and an ha-admin port. The NetworkPolicy allows the configured admin port or the default port, 8405. Tests cover enabled, disabled, default, and custom settings.
End-to-end coverage and configuration guide
test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/sequential/1-137_validate_argocd_agent_principal_ha_test.go, docs/usage/ha/argocd-agent-principal.md, mkdocs.yml, Makefile
The end-to-end test checks HA configuration updates and disabling HA. The guide describes configuration and manual admin Service setup. The guide is added to navigation, and the test namespace is added to the run target.

End-to-end cleanup guards

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guard cluster-scoped test cleanup
test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/sequential/1-051_validate_argocd_agent_principal_test.go, test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/sequential/1-052_validate_argocd_agent_agent_test.go, test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/sequential/1-053_validate_argocd_agent_principal_connected_test.go, test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/sequential/1-054_validate_argocd_agent_destination_mapping_test.go
The four tests now skip cluster-scoped resource deletion when k8sClient is nil.

115-121: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Consider consolidating HA admin-port resolution.

buildPorts, buildPrincipalNetworkPolicySpec, and getPrincipalHAAdminPort currently use identical semantics. This is an optional maintainability improvement, not a current correctness issue.

Review comments at @argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/deployment.go:
- Around line 193-197: Constrain explicit HA.AdminPort values to the valid
1–65535 range by adding minimum and maximum validation to AdminPort in both
PrincipalHASpec API-version definitions. Regenerate the CRD and bundle manifests
so installed schemas enforce the same bounds.

Review comments at @config/crd/bases/argoproj.io_argocds.yaml:
- Around line 967-969: Update the XValidation rule on PrincipalHASpec in both
v1alpha1 and v1beta1 to guard access to preferredRole with has(), allowing ha:
{enabled: true} when preferredRole is absent while retaining the peerAddress
requirement when preferredRole is replica. Regenerate the CRD and bundle
manifests, and add a test confirming that configuration is accepted.

Review comments at @docs/usage/ha/argocd-agent-principal.md:
- Around line 89-91: Update the HA admin documentation to state that the
operator opens the port configured by `adminPort`, which defaults to `8405`. In
the example Service and `argocd-agentctl` command, use the same configured value
for the Service `port`, `targetPort`, and `--address` flag.
