Closes #440.

What

Every in-cluster resource name that was still hardcoded to skyhook-operator-* now templates off chart.fullname, and operator/config/ is mirrored (namePrefix: nodewright-) so kustomize and Helm render identical names.

Before After
skyhook-operator-manager-role / -manager-rolebinding nodewright-manager-role / -manager-rolebinding
skyhook-operator-leader-election-role / -rolebinding nodewright-leader-election-role / -rolebinding
skyhook-operator-metrics-reader / -metrics-reader-rolebinding nodewright-metrics-reader / -metrics-reader-rolebinding
skyhook-operator-controller-manager-metrics-service nodewright-controller-manager-metrics-service
skyhook-operator-webhook-service nodewright-webhook-service
skyhook-operator-validating-webhook / -mutating-webhook nodewright-validating-webhook / -mutating-webhook

app.kubernetes.io/created-by and part-of move from skyhook-operator to nodewright. The controller-manager Deployment name and spec.selector are unchanged, so #285 does not recur; every renamed object is created new and the old one removed, and none has an immutable field a rename would trip.

Why this isn't chart-only

Renaming the webhook Service and the two webhook configurations required three operator-side changes. All three were found by actually running chart/v0.17.1 → this branch on kind, not by reading.

1. The rollout deadlocks. The pre-#440 operator looks its webhook configurations up by name. Renaming them makes it hard-error, so it never goes Ready, so the rolling update never terminates it, so it never releases the webhook bootstrap lease. helm upgrade wedges on Pending termination and the release stays stuck:

Error: UPGRADE FAILED: resource Deployment/nodewright/nodewright-controller-manager
not ready. status: InProgress, message: Pending termination: 1

The operator now finds them by the nodewright.nvidia.com/webhook-config label (filtered to configurations whose clientConfig targets its own namespace) and patches every match, so future renames are invisible to it. docs/designs/webhook-bootstrap-lease.md gains a section on why a name-based lookup is specifically forbidden here.

Label discovery cannot save the upgrade that introduces it, because the pod holding the lease is the pre-rename one. The existing selectorMigration pre-upgrade hook now also detects a pre-label-discovery operator — the live Deployment has no WEBHOOK_SERVICE_NAME env var — and deletes the Deployment so Helm recreates it. Verified to stay a no-op on normal upgrades.

2. The serving cert kept the old SAN. Secret/webhook-cert is operator-owned, not chart-owned, so it survives the upgrade, and the operator only reminted on expiry or a cert-on-disk mismatch. A renamed Service left a year-valid certificate carrying the old DNS name and admission failed closed:

x509: certificate is valid for skyhook-operator-webhook-service.nodewright.svc,
not nodewright-webhook-service.nodewright.svc

It now also remints when the Service recorded on the Secret no longer matches the configured WEBHOOK_SERVICE_NAME.

3. The chart never passed the env vars. WEBHOOK_SERVICE_NAME and WEBHOOK_SECRET_NAME already existed on the operator but nothing set them, so webhook.serviceName and webhook.secretName in values.yaml were silently ignored.

Also fixed in passing

The manager ClusterRole granted only get/update on the webhook configurations, so the pre-delete cleanup job's kubectl delete ...webhookconfiguration was RBAC-denied and the trailing || true swallowed the error. delete is now granted, and the job also sweeps the pre-rename names — an orphaned failurePolicy: Fail configuration with no operator behind it rejects every matching API call cluster-wide.

Also fixes #464: helm rollback destroyed every NodeWright

The CRDs live under templates/ (they interpolate the conversion-webhook Service name), so Helm manages them as release resources. Rolling back to a pre-rename revision dropped nodewrights.nodewright.nvidia.com from the rendered manifest and Helm deleted it, cascade-deleting every NodeWright object. Both nodewright CRDs now carry helm.sh/resource-policy: keep.

keep suppresses deletion only — Helm still creates and patches these CRDs on install and upgrade, so schema changes apply exactly as before. Two consequences, both in chart/RELEASE_NOTES.md:

  • helm uninstall now leaves the two CRDs behind. Delete them explicitly for a full teardown.
  • A kept CRD keeps its meta.helm.sh/release-name. Reinstalling under the same release name adopts it; under a different name Helm fails with invalid ownership metadata. Verified both on kind.

That second consequence bites our own helm chainsaw suite, which shares one namespace across five release names (events-rbac, foobar, node-affinity-test, nodewright, webhooks), so the first uninstall would have broken every later install. uninstall-helm-chart.sh now drops the CRDs on teardown — keeping them is a production guarantee, not a test-fixture one. All seven helm tests pass in a single run against one cluster.

The new helm-upgrade-rename-test round-trips a helm rollback and asserts both CRDs survive. With the annotation reverted that step fails with actual resource not found, so it is not a vacuous guard.

Also caught while rebasing: docs/metrics/prometheus_values.yaml relabels on the metrics Service name, which this PR renames, so the shipped example scrape job would have silently matched zero targets. Its regex now accepts both names, and its namespace list covers nodewright as well as skyhook.

Deprecation, not removal

skyhook-operator-metrics-reader ships as a duplicate ClusterRole for a deprecation window. Unlike every other renamed object it is a name users bind to themselves: docs/metrics/README.md tells them to create a ClusterRoleBinding against it for their Prometheus service account, so renaming it alone would break their scrape with no error anywhere else. Removal is a follow-up.

New patterns introduced

Per CLAUDE.md, calling these out explicitly:

  • Label-based discovery of cluster-scoped objects the operator does not create. The operator previously addressed these two objects by compiled-in name. If this is the wrong direction, the alternative is keeping the webhook trio pinned to the legacy names and closing Hardcoded skyhook-operator resource names and labels in the chart #440 partially.
  • Removal of webhookValidatingWebhookConfiguration / webhookMutatingWebhookConfiguration / webhookClient. These became dead once the name constants went away. The chart has owned creation of these objects for several releases; the operator only ever patched their caBundle, and the error messages already said so.
  • A chainsaw test that installs a released chart. helm-upgrade-rename-test materializes chart/v0.17.1 with git archive, the same mechanism k8s-tests/migration/lib.sh uses, so there is no registry dependency — but helm-tests now needs full history with tags, which the CI tests job already sets. Noted in docs/ci-test-pools.md.

CLI contract: unaffected

CLAUDE.md asks for an explicit justification when a change touches a contract surface, so stating it rather than leaving it implied: this rename does not cross the CLI contract.

The CLI discovers the operator by label, not by name — operator/internal/cli/utils/utils.go uses LabelSelector: "control-plane=controller-manager", and its own comment notes that label is the one "which both the chart and the kustomize overlay label". Nothing under operator/cmd/cli/ or operator/internal/cli/ references any of the renamed objects (grep for skyhook-operator, metrics-reader, *-webhook-service, *-manager-role returns no non-test hits). The annotation keys, status fields, and finalizer names the CLI depends on are untouched.

No CLI change, no version gate, and no docs/cli.md compatibility-matrix entry is needed.

Verification

  • make unit-tests — 13 suites green. make lint — 0 issues. No CRD/deepcopy drift from make manifests generate.
  • Real upgrade on kind, chart/v0.17.1 → this branch: upgrade completes hands-off, cert reminted, caBundle lands on the renamed configurations, an invalid CR is rejected by validate-nodewright.nvidia.com (i.e. admission is reached, not failing on TLS), only the intentional metrics-reader alias survives, and helm uninstall leaves zero orphans.
  • Idempotence: re-running the upgrade against itself does not restart the operator pod, confirming the pre-upgrade hook stays a no-op.
  • New helm-upgrade-rename-test covers all of the above; helm-template-test gains coverage for the rendered names, the discovery label, and the env-to-Service contract.
  • Existing suites re-run green against the new operator: helm-chart, helm-webhook, helm-node-affinity, events-rbac, helm-template, and k8s-tests/migration phases 1–6 (the suite most at risk, since it performs the same old-chart → working-tree upgrade).

Upgrade impact

Written up in chart/RELEASE_NOTES.md: this chart requires an operator built from this PR or later, the controller-manager Deployment is deleted and recreated on the one upgrade that crosses the rename, there is a brief admission gap while the operator injects the caBundle into the newly created configurations, and skyhook-operator-metrics-reader is deprecated. Releases that pin fullnameOverride / nameOverride keep their own prefix on everything and are unaffected.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The chart now derives NodeWright resource names, labels, webhook Service references, and RBAC names from Helm helpers. The operator discovers webhook configurations by label and Service, updates all matching configurations, checks readiness, and remints certificates when the Service changes. CRDs remain during rollback or uninstall. Generated manifests and Chainsaw tests cover rendering, upgrades, admission, cleanup, and compatibility.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to aed7b

This PR renames webhook resources and changes upgrade and certificate-reconciliation behavior. At the current head, one webhook update failure can prevent the other webhook from receiving its CA bundle, and deployment paths that omit the service-name setting may still mint certificates for the old Service; the new cluster-mutating test also lacks its required CI pool assignment. These create concrete admission and validation risks, so the PR is not merge-ready until addressed or explicitly accepted.

Reviewed statically — read the full diff and the surrounding files; did not build or run anything.

The three operator-side changes are correctly motivated, and finding them by actually running chart/v0.17.1 -> branch on kind rather than by reading is the right way to have gotten here. The cert-remint-on-Service-change fix in particular is the kind of thing only a real upgrade surfaces.

Five things above nit level. Three are inline; two are on lines this PR doesn't touch, so they're here.


1. docs/metrics/prometheus_values.yaml:36 — the shipped scrape config stops matching, silently

      - source_labels: [__meta_kubernetes_service_name]
        action: keep
        regex: skyhook-operator-controller-manager-metrics-service

This PR renames that Service to nodewright-controller-manager-metrics-service (chart/templates/metrics-service.yaml, and it's row 4 of your own before/after table). A keep relabel that matches nothing yields zero targets and no error — the first signal a user gets is an empty dashboard, with nothing in the operator logs, Prometheus logs, or helm upgrade output pointing at the cause.

The file isn't in this PR's diff, which is why I can't anchor this inline, but it's a file the rename has to touch. Line 18's comment (The Prometheus ServiceAccount must be bound to skyhook-operator-metrics-reader) wants the new name too, or at least the deprecation note.

2. docs/metrics/README.md:239 — the file now contradicts itself

Line 93 (which this PR adds) correctly says skyhook-operator-metrics-reader is deprecated and tells the reader to re-point bindings at nodewright-metrics-reader. Line 239, down in the Prometheus section, still says:

…and bind the Prometheus ServiceAccount to skyhook-operator-metrics-reader, as shown in the local dashboard setup above.

"as shown above" is no longer what's shown above — the block at line 89 now uses nodewright-metrics-reader. Since the deprecation alias is the one thing here users are expected to act on themselves, the two mentions disagreeing is worse than either one alone.


Not findings, flagging so they don't get re-litigated:

  • CodeRabbit's operator/Makefile:339 comment is wrong. rollout-local targets the Helm-installed Deployment, and chart.selectorLabels renders app.kubernetes.io/name: nodewright. Your change fixes a stale value; it should not be reverted to control-plane=controller-manager alone.
  • docs/designs/webhook-bootstrap-lease.md:143-149 keeping the pre-rename object names is right, and the note explaining they're the v0.7.x-era names plus the label-based equivalent handles it well.
  • helm-template-test/chainsaw-test.yaml:184-207 renders under --set fullnameOverride=skyhook-operator, so the skyhook-operator-* strings there are intentional override coverage.
  • CLI contract is unaffected — operator/internal/cli/utils/utils.go:538 discovers the operator by control-plane=controller-manager, not by name. Worth one line in the description saying so, since CLAUDE.md asks for an explicit justification when a rename crosses a contract surface.

Also confirmed this merges cleanly with #462git merge-tree auto-resolves all five shared files. Both edit docs/metrics/README.md though, and finding #2 above sits in a region #462 also rewrites, so whichever lands second is worth a full re-read of that file rather than trusting the auto-merge.

Pushed 72e5f5a9 (rebased onto 88597cc8, so the coveralls base-drift warning should clear).

Review findings

All applied. Thanks — two of these were real bugs, not nits.

Finding Status
Webhooks[0] only in readyz (both reviewers) Fixed: iterate every webhook of every owned configuration. Spec added that fails if a non-first webhook holds a stale bundle.
Discovery not scoped to one installation Fixed: ownership now requires the clientConfig to dial this operator's Service, not just any Service in the namespace. The caBundle only signs that one Service's cert, so writing it into another install's configuration actively breaks that install — stricter is also more correct here.
RBAC resourceNames undercuts label discovery Real, and the code comment over-claimed. Kept least privilege (the CKV_K8S_155 skip is deliberate) and closed the gap three ways: the comment now states the coupling instead of denying it, a Forbidden Update is annotated with exactly which drift causes it, and helm-template-test now asserts the rendered configuration names are a subset of the rendered resourceNames so they cannot silently diverge.
First failing Update skips the rest Fixed: errors.Join and continue. Matters precisely during the rename window, when two owned configurations legitimately coexist.
Phantom WEBHOOK_*_CONFIG_NAME env vars in comments Removed. Leftovers from the first iteration, before label discovery replaced them — they asserted the opposite of what shipped.
rollout-local selector Fixed: control-plane=controller-manager, the only label both install paths agree on. The kustomize overlay renders app.kubernetes.io/name=deployment.
Non-semver milk.version in the negative fixture Fixed to 1.2.0, so the missing dependency is the only invalid thing and the asserted rejection reason cannot be pre-empted.

Also in this push

  • helm rollback deletes the NodeWright CRD, cascade-deleting every NodeWright #464 — both nodewright CRDs get helm.sh/resource-policy: keep, plus a rollback round-trip in the new e2e. See the PR description; the notable part is that keeping them orphans the CRDs under the old release name, which broke the helm suite's five differently-named releases until the shared teardown was fixed.
  • docs/metrics/prometheus_values.yaml relabels on the metrics Service name this PR renames, so the shipped example would have matched zero targets.

Re-verified after the rebase: make unit-tests (13 suites), make lint (0 issues), and all 7 helm chainsaw tests green in one run against a single kind cluster.

Thanks — the two body findings were the ones I'd have shipped past, and one of them I did half-fix and then miss the rest of. All addressed in aed7bfa1. Status of the whole review:

1. prometheus_values.yaml — silent zero targets

Fixed, including the part I initially missed. The regex now accepts both names, and the namespace list covers nodewright as well as skyhook. I did not catch this from your review, incidentally — I hit it independently while rebasing onto #462, which is a decent illustration of your point that a keep relabel that matches nothing is invisible.

Your sub-point about line 18 (The Prometheus ServiceAccount must be bound to skyhook-operator-metrics-reader) I genuinely did miss on the first pass — it's fixed now and points at nodewright-metrics-reader, with the deprecation note inline so an existing binding still makes sense to a reader.

I also added an explicit warning that fullnameOverride requires editing the regex yourself, since the file is a hand-copied example with nothing to interpolate from, plus the kubectl get svc -l control-plane=controller-manager command to find the real name.

2. docs/metrics/README.md:239 — file contradicting itself

Fixed; that line now says nodewright-metrics-reader, so "as shown above" matches what is actually shown above. The only surviving skyhook-operator-metrics-reader mention in the file is the deprecation paragraph itself, which has to name it.

On your merge note: #462 landed first, I rebased onto it, and I re-read the whole file rather than trusting the auto-merge. That is how I found the prometheus_values.yaml breakage.

3. CLI contract

Added to the PR description, with the evidence: the CLI resolves the operator by control-plane=controller-manager (operator/internal/cli/utils/utils.go), and no file under operator/cmd/cli/ or operator/internal/cli/ names any renamed object. No version gate or docs/cli.md matrix entry needed.

4. operator/Makefile — I went against your call, and want to say so plainly

You flagged CodeRabbit's suggestion as wrong and said not to revert to control-plane=controller-manager alone. I applied it anyway before your review landed, and having looked again I'd like to keep it — but the disagreement should be explicit rather than buried in a diff.

Your premise is right: rollout-local does target the Helm-installed Deployment, and chart.selectorLabels does render app.kubernetes.io/name: nodewright. Two things pushed me the other way:

  • app.kubernetes.io/name is not stable. It renders include "chart.name", which honours nameOverride, so pinning the literal nodewright breaks rollout-local for anyone who sets one — the same class of stale-literal bug this PR exists to remove.
  • The repo already treats control-plane=controller-manager as the canonical cross-install selector. operator/internal/cli/utils/utils.go selects on exactly that, and its comment says it is the label "which both the chart and the kustomize overlay label". Matching the CLI's own discovery rule seemed better than having the Makefile use a narrower one.

The cost is that the selector is broader, but control-plane=controller-manager is unique to the controller-manager Deployment in that namespace, so I could not construct a case where it over-matches. Happy to put the app.kubernetes.io/name term back if you still prefer it — your call, just say the word.

5. Your three inline findings

All applied: readyz now iterates every webhook (and skips ones dialling a foreign Service), ownership is scoped to the Service this operator's caBundle actually signs for, the RBAC/resourceNames coupling is documented and asserted in helm-template-test rather than denied by the comment, errors.Join replaces the bail-on-first-failure, and the phantom WEBHOOK_*_CONFIG_NAME comments are gone.

308-316: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reconcile mutating configurations after validating errors.

Lines 308-311 return before Lines 313-316 run. A validating update failure, including an RBAC resourceNames drift, prevents CA reconciliation for all mutating configurations.

Invoke both update methods. Return errors.Join(validatingErr, mutatingErr) only after both complete. Add a test that forces a validating update failure and verifies that the mutating configuration still receives the CA bundle.

As per coding guidelines: “Implement reconciliation as level-triggered, idempotent convergence from observed cluster state to desired spec.”

Proposed fix
-	validatingChanged, err := r.updateValidatingWebhookConfiguration(ctx, caBundle)
-	if err != nil {
-		return false, err
-	}
-
-	mutatingChanged, err := r.updateMutatingWebhookConfiguration(ctx, caBundle)
-	if err != nil {
-		return false, err
-	}
-
-	return validatingChanged || mutatingChanged, nil
+	validatingChanged, validatingErr := r.updateValidatingWebhookConfiguration(ctx, caBundle)
+	mutatingChanged, mutatingErr := r.updateMutatingWebhookConfiguration(ctx, caBundle)

Re-reviewed against aed7bfa1.

All five of my earlier findings are addressed. Worth calling out that on the manager-rbac.yaml resourceNames question you took the harder option — kept least privilege and backed the invariant with a helm-template-test assertion, rather than widening the grant as I'd leaned toward. That's the better call and my stated preference was wrong on the merits. The readiness check went further than I asked for too: the per-webhook dialsThisOperator filter is a real improvement over just looping.

Two new findings below, both of which I'd want resolved before merge:

  1. The unconditional skyhook-operator-metrics-reader alias collides with the templated ClusterRole under fullnameOverride: skyhook-operator — the exact override RELEASE_NOTES.md:55 recommends as the admission-gap mitigation. I rendered it: two ClusterRoles, same name, helm install fails. The documented workaround can't be executed.
  2. #464 is fixed for the nodewright CRDs only. The legacy skyhook.nvidia.com pair is also chart-managed under templates/, didn't get keep, and still cascade-deletes on rollback or uninstall. The comment's stated rationale is inverted — the conversion clientConfig is on the legacy pair, not the two files carrying the annotation — which is probably how the gap arose.

I'm filing these as comments rather than a formal block; the severity call is yours.

Four further findings I verified but haven't posted, happy to add any on request: CheckOrUpdateWebhookConfigurations still returns on the first error so a validating-side failure defers all mutating caBundle injection; the WEBHOOK_SERVICE_NAME probe in selector-migration-job.yaml negates grep's exit status rather than kubectl's, so a transient API failure deletes the live Deployment; and dialsThisOperator introduces a new Service-name coupling that reproduces the bootstrap-lease deadlock shape if webhook.serviceName or fullnameOverride changes on a running release — a different axis from the one this PR fixes, and one the selectorMigration shim doesn't cover since it only detects the env var's absence, not a change to it.

Context on how I checked: rendered the chart under several value combinations, traced the label-discovery path, and confirmed the anchors against the diff. I did not run a cluster, so the deadlock chain in that last item is reasoned rather than observed.

Comment thread chart/templates/metrics-reader-rbac.yaml Outdated
Comment thread chart/templates/nodewright-crd.yaml
The manager and leader-election RBAC, the metrics reader ClusterRole, both
Services, and both webhook configurations were still named skyhook-operator-*,
along with the app.kubernetes.io/created-by and part-of labels. They now
template off chart.fullname the way the Deployment already did, and
operator/config/ is mirrored (namePrefix: nodewright-), so kustomize and Helm
render identical names. Closes #440.

Renaming the webhook Service and the two webhook configurations turned out not
to be a chart-only change. Three things had to move with it:

The operator finds its webhook configurations by the
nodewright.nvidia.com/webhook-config label instead of by name. A name-based
lookup makes a rename a hard error on the running old leader: it never goes
Ready, so the rolling update never terminates it, so it never releases the
webhook bootstrap lease, and helm upgrade wedges on "Pending termination". The
now-vestigial webhookValidatingWebhookConfiguration /
webhookMutatingWebhookConfiguration builders and webhookClient are removed with
the constants; the chart has owned creation of these objects for several
releases and the operator only ever patched their caBundle.

The webhook serving certificate is reminted when the Service is renamed.
Secret/webhook-cert is operator-owned, so it survives the upgrade, and the
operator only reminted on expiry or a cert-on-disk mismatch. A renamed Service
therefore left a year-valid cert carrying the old SAN and admission failed
closed with "x509: certificate is valid for skyhook-operator-webhook-service...,
not nodewright-webhook-service".

Label discovery cannot save the upgrade that introduces it, because the pod
holding the lease is the pre-rename one. The existing selectorMigration
pre-upgrade hook now also detects a pre-label-discovery operator (the live
Deployment has no WEBHOOK_SERVICE_NAME env var) and deletes the Deployment so
Helm recreates it. It stays a no-op on normal upgrades.

Two latent bugs on the same surface, fixed in passing:

- The chart never passed WEBHOOK_SERVICE_NAME or WEBHOOK_SECRET_NAME, so the
  operator silently ignored webhook.serviceName and webhook.secretName.
- The manager ClusterRole granted no delete on the webhook configurations, so
  the pre-delete cleanup job's kubectl delete was RBAC-denied and the trailing
  `|| true` swallowed it. The job now also sweeps the pre-rename names, since an
  orphaned failurePolicy: Fail configuration rejects every matching API call
  cluster-wide.

skyhook-operator-metrics-reader is kept as a deprecated duplicate ClusterRole:
docs/metrics/README.md tells users to bind their own Prometheus ServiceAccount
to it by name, so renaming it alone would break their scrape with no error
anywhere else.

Also fixes #464, found by manual validation of the same migration: the CRDs live
in templates/ (they interpolate the conversion-webhook Service name) so helm
manages them as release resources, and `helm rollback` to a pre-rename revision
deleted nodewrights.nodewright.nvidia.com, cascade-deleting every NodeWright.
Both nodewright CRDs now carry helm.sh/resource-policy: keep, which suppresses
deletion only -- create and patch on upgrade are unaffected, so schema changes
still apply. Two consequences: uninstall now leaves the CRDs behind, and a kept
CRD keeps its meta.helm.sh/release-name, so reinstalling under a DIFFERENT
release name fails with "invalid ownership metadata" until they are deleted.
That second one bites the helm chainsaw suite, which shares one namespace across
five release names, so uninstall-helm-chart.sh drops the CRDs on teardown --
keeping them is a production guarantee, not a test-fixture one.

Verified on kind, chart/v0.17.1 to this branch: the upgrade completes hands-off,
the cert is reminted, the caBundle lands on the renamed configurations,
admission rejects for the right reason rather than on TLS, only the intentional
metrics-reader alias survives, and helm uninstall leaves no orphans. Covered by
a new helm-upgrade-rename-test that installs the pre-rename chart from its git
tag (same mechanism as k8s-tests/migration, so no registry dependency) and
round-trips a rollback; with the annotation reverted that step fails with the
CRD "not found", so it is not a vacuous guard.

Pushed 95404cc2. Two changes from your last round:

1. metrics-reader-rbac.yaml name collision — fixed, then the whole thing removed.

You were right that the alias collided with the templated ClusterRole under fullnameOverride: skyhook-operator, on the exact path chart/RELEASE_NOTES.md recommends. Reproduced:

$ helm template test-release ./chart -n nodewright --set fullnameOverride=skyhook-operator -s templates/metrics-reader-rbac.yaml
  name: skyhook-operator-metrics-reader
  name: skyhook-operator-metrics-reader

Two objects of the same kind and name in one release is a silent overwrite, not an error.

I first guarded it with {{- if ne (include "chart.fullname" .) "skyhook-operator" }}, then dropped the alias entirely instead. It was the only renamed object getting special treatment, and it was protecting less than it appeared to: #371 (metrics moved to controller-runtime bearer auth, which is what creates the need to bind to this ClusterRole at all) is still unreleased, so no shipped release ever told anyone to bind to it under the current auth model. And #462 deprecates skyhook_* in the same release, so anyone touching metrics is reworking their Prometheus config anyway — an alias would only defer the same edit.

It is now a plain rename: re-point the binding at nodewright-metrics-reader. Updated docs/metrics/README.md, docs/metrics/prometheus_values.yaml, scripts/scale_test.sh (which was still binding to the old name), and #371's own unreleased note in chart/RELEASE_NOTES.md, which named the pre-rename ClusterRole.

Also added a general guard so this class cannot come back: helm-template-test now asserts the rendered (kind, name) pairs are unique for the default render, fullnameOverride, and nameOverride. And helm-upgrade-rename-test asserts the pre-rename ClusterRole is gone after the upgrade, not just after uninstall.

2. Legacy CRDs and resource-policy: keep — closed as won't-do, per @lockwobr.

CI is running; the only thing I did not re-run locally before pushing is the upgrade e2e, which is a test-assertion risk rather than a product one.

The namespaced Role and RoleBinding added with the Jobs migration were
copied from helmify output that predates the rename, so they hardcoded
skyhook-operator-manager-role and -manager-namespaced-rolebinding while
every other name in the chart goes through chart.fullname. The
resource-names-follow-fullname guard added in #463 catches exactly this
and failed helm-tests. Mirrored the stale created-by/part-of labels in
the kustomize source, which kustomize namePrefix already handled.
