Why

Issue #1292 showed that the happy-path BDD suite could pass without proving that invalid trust, hostname, protocol, and authority inputs fail closed at the Pylon registration boundary.

What changed

  • Added a focused negative TLS registration feature for local split-cluster k3d.
  • Covered an untrusted root, wrong hostname, missing trust bundle, plaintext to the TLS listener, and an invalid configured authority.
  • Ran each negative probe as the user would, then used the shared DSL from test(bdd): add shared Pylon observability DSL #1359 to assert both the nonzero result and accepted diagnostics.
  • Kept the checks outside-in through the public listener and stack rendering boundary.
  • Added a non-live Godog wiring test and a dedicated live test entry point.

Customer Release Notes

Not customer visible.

Plan Summary

Not applicable. The live test creates only the existing disposable local split-cluster topology.

Usage

cd tests/bdd
BDD_CLEANUP_MODE=topology-multi go test -v -timeout 60m -run '^TestMultiClusterHelmfileLLMRegistrationTLSFailClosed$' -count=1

Testing

  • go test -short ./... -count=1 from tests/bdd after rebasing onto test(bdd): add shared Pylon observability DSL #1359: passed.
  • TestMultiClusterHelmfileLLMRegistrationTLSFailClosedFeatureFileWiresToSteps: passed.
  • git diff --check: passed.
  • Earlier destructive local k3d run against PR feat(self-managed): secure LLM gRPC ingress #1300 SHA 1d2843e922dc7198d529227cb6e71f1bff841c6c: 1 scenario and 35 steps passed in 13m12s. Artifacts: tests/bdd/out/20260828-113602.
  • Every Stargate and backend-router replica in that earlier run used image ID sha256:61376c81df5127a6149a656c653b00b5fdbadf1795919a8ef4d0b2b0dd06f648.

The destructive result predates the shared DSL refactor. Live QA should rerun the feature after #1359 lands.

Notes

The exact source-image import used for the earlier local validation was integration-only and is not part of this BDD change.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds multi-cluster BDD coverage for fail-closed LLM worker registration. It validates TLS and HTTP/2 connectivity, rejection of invalid trust, hostname, plaintext, and authority configurations, and registration observability through Stargate streams and Pylon metrics.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to dba6b

This change adds negative TLS registration coverage without altering production behavior. It remains mergeable with owner follow-up because timeout validation, a staticcheck error, validation expectations, and successful-probe execution still need tightening to ensure the tests provide reliable coverage.

Align the feature with the worker-router address validation contract.

The provided Helm template validates bare DNS-or-IPv4:port or bracketed IPv6 addresses. It does not accept https:// prefixes. The valid template command will therefore fail, and the invalid-authority assertion expects an error that the template does not emit.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert execution of the successful TLS handshake probe.

The test registers tlsHandshakeCommand but never checks that Godog ran it. If the feature removes the valid TLS and HTTP/2 probe, this wiring test can still pass. Add a commandRanExactly(runs, tlsHandshakeCommand) assertion after the suite runs.

Proposed fix
  if !commandRanExactly(runs, grpcurlPreflightCommand) {
    t.Fatal("grpcurl availability was not checked before the live probes")
  }
+ if !commandRanExactly(runs, tlsHandshakeCommand) {
+   t.Fatal("successful TLS handshake probe was not executed")
+ }

As per coding guidelines, "Code changes must include tests."
