In `@docs/designs/webhook-bootstrap-lease.md`:
- Around line 104-115: Parameterize namespace-sensitive runbook commands with an
<operator-namespace> variable so existing installations remain supported. In
docs/designs/webhook-bootstrap-lease.md lines 104-115, replace nodewright and
note that legacy v0.7.x installations may use skyhook; apply the same variable
to pod-log commands in docs/uninstall.md lines 167-168 and 217, and
interrupt-pod lookup at line 260. In docs/versioning.md lines 101-102,
parameterize deployment and Helm inspection commands or explicitly mark them
new-install-only.
In `@docs/metrics/README.md`:
- Around line 87-98: Update the metrics scraping example’s SKYHOOK_NAMESPACE
value to nodewright so it matches the metrics-reader ServiceAccount and
port-forward setup; preserve skyhook support only in clearly separate legacy
guidance if already present.
In `@k8s-tests/chainsaw/helm/events-rbac-test/chainsaw-test.yaml`:
- Line 23: Update the executable namespace variable from NS=skyhook to
NS=nodewright in the test setup, ensuring the Helm install and subsequent
Deployment and ServiceAccount lookups use the same nodewright namespace.
In `@operator/cmd/cli/RELEASE_NOTES.md`:
- Around line 34-37: Update the compatibility statement in the release notes to
limit it to the namespace change and explicitly refer to NodeWright-capable
operators; remove any implication that all older operators are supported, while
preserving the explanation about namespace usage and cluster-scoped CRDs.
In `@operator/internal/cli/utils/utils.go`:
- Around line 507-522: Update isSkyhookOperatorDeployment and its callers to
require the canonical operator identity from the supported current and legacy
manifests, rather than matching arbitrary image or label substrings. Ensure
namespace discovery does not select unrelated Deployments in nodewright or
skyhook, while still recognizing the real operator in both namespaces, and add
tests covering each false-positive and valid-operator case.
In `@operator/README.md`:
- Around line 215-216: Update the registry Secret instructions to consistently
use the nodewright namespace: change the relevant heading and the namespace
argument in the node-init-secret creation command, while leaving the namespace
creation command unchanged.

…ntime The documented install namespace moves from `skyhook` to `nodewright` for new installs. Namespaces cannot be renamed in place and Helm cannot move a release between namespaces, so existing installs stay in `skyhook` indefinitely; nothing is migrated and there is no deadline. Because a blind default change would answer "not found" for every pre-rename install, the CLI now discovers the operator's namespace when `--namespace` is not passed: `nodewright`, then `skyhook` (printing a one-line note), then a cluster-wide Deployment sweep, then a fallback to `nodewright` so the command's own lookup reports the specific miss. An explicit `--namespace` is used verbatim. This is not a compatibility break: both CRDs are cluster-scoped, so `--namespace` only locates the operator Deployment and the package pods, and no command changes which CRs it sees. Also deduplicates the two DefaultNamespace constants into internal/cli/utils, moves the kustomize overlay to nodewright-operator-system, and sweeps the Makefile, chainsaw suites, scripts and docs. The chart needed no change: it already sources the namespace from .Release.Namespace throughout. Closes #436 Signed-off-by: Brian Lockwood <lockwobr@gmail.com>

Summary
Moves the documented install namespace from
skyhooktonodewrightfor new installs, and makes the CLI discover the operator's namespace instead of assuming one.Closes #436. Part of the rename tracked in #310.
The constraint that shapes this
Namespaces cannot be renamed in place, and Helm cannot move a release between namespaces. So an install that predates the rename legitimately stays in
skyhookforever, and there is nothing to migrate and no deadline. This PR changes the default and the docs for new installs; it does not move anyone.CLI namespace resolution
A blind default change would answer "not found" for every pre-rename install with no explanation, which the CLI compatibility rules rule out. With no
--namespace, the CLI now resolves in this order and caches the answer per invocation:nodewrightskyhook, printing a one-line note to stderr that the legacy namespace answerednodewrightso the command's own lookup reports the specific missAn explicit
--namespaceis used verbatim, with no discovery and no note.Steps 1 and 2 are namespaced List calls, so the common case needs no extra RBAC. Step 3 needs cluster-scoped list permission; without it that step is skipped silently rather than failing.
This is not a CLI compatibility break
Worth stating explicitly since the issue anticipated one: the
NodeWrightandDeploymentPolicyCRDs are cluster-scoped, not namespaced.--namespaceonly ever locates the operator Deployment and the package pods, so no command changes which CRs it sees, and nothing here is version-gated on the operator.docs/cli.mdgets a resolution section and a situation matrix rather than a new compatibility-matrix row.(
.claude/CLAUDE.mddescribed the primary CRD as namespaced. Corrected, since that is exactly the fact that determines the blast radius here.)Other surfaces
operator/config/default/kustomization.yaml:skyhook-operator-systemtonodewright-operator-system, plusmanager.yaml/manager_metrics_patch.yamlNAMESPACE.namePrefixstaysskyhook-operator-: in-cluster resource names are explicitly out of scope per the issue, given helm upgrade to chart v0.17.0 fails: immutable Deployment selector changed by skyhook-operator -> nodewright rename #285. Left a comment so the deliberate break from the kubebuilder prefix convention is not "fixed" later.NAMESPACEenv defaultskyhooktonodewright. Only reachable when nothing sets it (bare binary,make run); the chart always sets it explicitly, so this is invisible to chart users.DefaultNamespaceconstants are deduplicated intointernal/cli/utils, whichinternal/cli/contextnow sources the flag default from.LegacyDefaultNamespaceadded alongside.SKYHOOK_NAMESPACEin the operator Makefile, the chainsaw suites, andscripts/scale_test.sh.docs/uninstall.md,docs/versioning.md,docs/metrics/README.md,docs/designs/webhook-bootstrap-lease.md.docs/nodewright-migration.mdgains an install-namespace section stating plainly that in-place rename is unsupported and that staying onskyhookremains valid, with a reinstall path for anyone who wants to move anyway.k8s-tests/migration/lib.shdeliberately stays onskyhook: it installs a pre-rename release and upgrades it in place, which is the coverage that an install predating the rename keeps upgrading cleanly. Commented so it is not swept later.Chart verified namespace-agnostic
