Why

This is the second half of moving the platform's automatic sizing policy onto the shared library's newer form, which survives the next policy-engine upgrade. The first half (#5132) removes the old policy. Until this one lands, new and restarted workloads get no automatic sizing.

What

This turns on the shared library's sizing policy, unchanged except that it skips the four system namespaces, where production already sizes controllers another way. A new test proves those namespaces get no sizing rule and that the same check does see one when the exclusion is removed. A small fix teaches the test-coverage check to recognise this newer policy form.

Part of #5130

⚠️ Merge order: land #5132 first and confirm in production that none of the old policy's sizing rules remain, then merge this straight away to keep the gap short. It carries #5132's commit so CI tests the final state; it stays a draft until #5132 has deployed.

Step 1 of the shared catalog's two-reconcile move to the auto-vpa
GeneratingPolicy form (devantler-tech/kyverno-policies#1). The classic
policy's removal deletes the VPAs it generated; the GeneratingPolicy form
is registered in a separate later revision so the two never run at once.
The file stays, still tested, as the rollback form.

Step 2 of the shared catalog's two-reconcile move (#5130,
devantler-tech/kyverno-policies#1): adopt the catalog's three auto-vpa
GeneratingPolicy objects with one platform addition, a namespaceSelector
that keeps them out of the system namespaces where prod ships static VPAs.

The new exclusion test pins that addition with a selector-free control, and
the fixture evaluator learns that a GeneratingPolicy's single rule is named
after the policy.

Merge only after step 1 has deployed and no classic auto-vpa VPA remains.

…s fingerprints

The naming gate requires one resource per file, so the catalog's three
policies are now one file each. The production authorization ledger
approves the three new GeneratingPolicy documents with the fingerprints
the validator printed for them; splitting the file changes no rendered
document.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds and registers Kyverno GeneratingPolicies for DaemonSets, Deployments, and StatefulSets. Each policy generates a VPA with workload-specific resource bounds and update settings. New Kyverno fixtures check generated VPAs for each workload type. The change also adds namespace-exclusion regression coverage, extends fixture evaluation for GeneratingPolicy resources, and runs the related checks in CI.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2dbd4

The policies appear mergeable, but clarify the migration note so operators understand that applying both forms creates two VPAs per workload.

- Around line 23-27: Update the platform note near the catalog header to clarify
that the classic VPA and the GeneratingPolicy form use distinct names, so
applying both creates two VPAs per workload. Keep the catalog text and the
“never apply both” rule unchanged, and align the note with the naming behavior
referenced by the root kustomization.yaml.

The configured Kyverno version already satisfies the policy requirement. The shared HelmRelease uses chart 3.9.1, whose upstream Chart.yaml declares application version 1.19.1. The CI workflows also install Kyverno 1.19.1. No under-1.19.0 consumer is established by the inspected source.
