pkg/controller/operators/openshift: Drop hard coded upgradeable 4.23 or 5.0 - #3955
Stability is nice, no point in wasting Kube API capacity shuffling order in a string that could be left unchanged.
And dropping the hard-coded blocking minor version upgrades to 4.23 or major version upgrades to 5.0 to show a message that's actually appropriate to the version of OpenShift we're blocking is nice. Because telling folks on 5.0 that they can't update to 4.23 or 5.0 is confusing.
Implementation matches the proposed design, or proposal is updated to match implementation
Sufficient unit test coverage
Sufficient end-to-end test coverage
Bug fixes are accompanied by regression test(s)
e2e tests and flake fixes are accompanied evidence of flake testing, e.g. executing the test 100(0) times
tech debt/todo is accompanied by issue link(s) in comments in the surrounding code
Tests are comprehensible, e.g. Ginkgo DSL is being used appropriately
Docs updated or added to /doc
Commit messages sensible and descriptive
Tests marked as [FLAKE] are truly flaky and have an issue
Code is properly formatted

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Version-skew messages now appear in a consistent order, with invalid entries listed first and valid entries sorted by namespace and name.
Messages report invalid version values when no valid versions are available. When valid versions exist, the reported threshold is based on the lowest normalized version.
Invalid versions are identified even when no parsing error was previously recorded.
Upgradeability messages retain the full reported OpenShift version, including pre-release details, rather than displaying only the major and minor version.
incompatibleOperators lists the CSVs from the informer cache. The cache
returns them in map order, which changes between reconciles.
skews.String() kept that order, so the same set of blocking CSVs
produced different messages. conditionsEqual compares the message, so
each reorder counted as a condition transition: the controller rewrote
the ClusterOperator status and moved lastTransitionTime although
nothing had changed. With two blocking CSVs on OCP 4.22 the message
alternated between the two orders every one to two minutes.
skews.String() now sorts a copy of the skews before it builds the
message: skews with a property error first, as before, then by
namespace and name. The same set of CSVs gives the same message in any
input order, so the condition only transitions when the set changes.
The regression test feeds three skews in three orders and expects one
message. It fails on the previous implementation, which filled the
non-error entries from the end of the slice.

I'm waiting for a operator-framework member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.
Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.
Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.
Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.

Walkthrough
Skew entries now retain raw maximum-version values alongside validation errors and normalized versions. Incompatible-operator checks use normalized versions. Skew messages sort entries deterministically and select a threshold based on valid versions.
Changes: OpenShift version skew handling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Skew extraction and validation pkg/controller/operators/openshift/helpers.go, pkg/controller/operators/openshift/helpers_test.go
maxOpenShiftVersion returns a skew containing CSV identity, the raw property value, and validation errors. Skews cache parsed and normalized versions. Tests check returned skew values and error cases.
incompatibleOperators skips missing skews, includes invalid skews, and compares valid normalized maximum versions with the next minor release. Tests expect raw maximum-version values and check normalized versions.
skews.String sorts invalid entries first, then sorts by namespace and name. It selects the lowest valid normalized maximum for the threshold, or reports “next major or minor version” when no valid version exists. A test checks that output is consistent across input permutations.
operator-framework/operator-lifecycle-manager#3952: Both PRs change skews.String ordering and test deterministic output. This PR also adds parsed and normalized version handling and dynamic threshold text.

Explanation
The title names the primary change: removing the hard-coded upgradeable message for OpenShift 4.23 or 5.0. The raw summary confirms that skew processing now normalizes 4.23 to 5.0 and derives the threshold from parsed maxima, and the PR objectives say the hard-coded upgrade-blocking message is replaced. The title is specific and matches the changeset. It is 75 characters, within a normal title length, and uses a package-prefix convention.

…rator-framework#3748)"
This reverts commit 73a2205
(Hard-code version upgrade message for 4.22 upgrade paths, 2026-01-26, operator-framework#3748).
That change was an acceptable hack for 4.22 controllers, but should
never have landed in the development branch, where it's currently
generating output like:
ClusterServiceVersions blocking minor version upgrades to 4.23 or major version upgrades to 5.0
in 5.0 clusters [1].

- Line 140: Update skew.String so that when s.err is nil it renders the valid
blocking maximum-version entry instead of the invalid-properties message; retain
the existing error rendering when s.err is non-nil. Add a regression test for
incompatibleOperators with literal expected entries that catches the incorrect
nil-error output.
- Around line 86-87: Update the skew parsing loop and skew.String to preserve an
existing skew.err instead of replacing it with an error from parsing an empty
maxOpenShiftVersion. Generate and assign a parse error only when no error is
already present, so property validation and duplicate-property errors remain
visible in the condition message.

drop some of the files into the 'vendor/' directory. And I want the
upstream changes to land in 'staging/'.
The `[CARRY]` prefixing makes scripts/verify_commits.sh happy with the
not-yet-merged-upstream commits. Which could end up as a long-term
carry (scripts/README.md), if upstream isn't interested. Or they
could be dropped on the next rebase, if the upstream commands do end
up merging upstream.

The sorting from 52765af (Sort incompatible CSVs in the Upgradeable
condition message, 2026-10-28, operator-framework#3952) relies on skew.err being set.
It was being set via incompatibleOperators, but not via the direct
skew{...} instantiation in TestSkewsStringIsDeterministic. This
commit doesn't update the TestSkewsStringIsDeterministic pathways
(that will come in a future commit), but it does refactor to shift
some of the error handling and normalization out of both
maxOpenShiftVersion() and incompatibleOperators(), and consolidate the
logic in a new skew.process() method. I've moved skew references to
pointers too, to make it more obvious that methods like process() can
mutate the skew properties.
While "it is safe to ignore the error here" would be nice, and may
work for flows coming from an incompatibleOperators call, it's a
brittle assumption. For example, it breaks down in
TestSkewsStringIsDeterministic, which had been passing in an invalid
entry based on "broken.v1.0.0", and sometimes using that as the
initial entry. I'm making sure we've evaluated for errors in any code
path that leads to those String() calls by adding .process() calls.
process() is a no-op if the skew instance has already been processed,
so it should be efficient, although having String mutate structure
properties is pretty weird. Hopefully the fact that the mutated
properties are idempotent output from the input properties helps
reduce the chance that the mutation surprises someone down the road.
If all the input versions to skews.String() have .err set, don't worry
about claiming a particular x.y target, just say "next major or minor
version" instead.

Description of the change
Building on top of #3952 with an expanded scope, I'm now trying to address both:
Motivation for the change
Stability is nice, no point in wasting Kube API capacity shuffling order in a string that could be left unchanged.
And dropping the hard-coded
blocking minor version upgrades to 4.23 or major version upgrades to 5.0to show a message that's actually appropriate to the version of OpenShift we're blocking is nice. Because telling folks on 5.0 that they can't update to 4.23 or 5.0 is confusing.Architectural changes
None.
