Why

The three PKI test-escape features under #1292 repeat shell inversion, grpcurl setup, Kubernetes CA extraction, pod discovery, metrics proxying, polling, and Prometheus parsing. That repetition obscures the behavior each feature is proving and previously allowed transport failures, premature stream termination, ambiguous pod selection, and empty interpolated expectations to look successful.

What changed

  • Add generic negative-command and output-table assertions. Resolved expected output must be non-empty.
  • Add a TLS WatchStargates adapter that keeps endpoint, authority, CA secret, namespace, context, and duration visible. It requires typed streamed JSON and the full client observation window.
  • Add a Pylon metrics observable that keeps function name, container, context, timeout, metric, comparison, and count visible.
  • Select every running Pylon pod for the named function instead of the first pod containing a shared container name.
  • Preserve pod discovery, JSON parsing, empty response, and metrics scrape failures instead of treating them as zero series.
  • Parse the Prometheus sample value field correctly when an optional timestamp is present.
  • Add adversarial unit coverage for premature deadlines, multi-pod function selection, timestamped samples, transport failures, and empty resolved output expectations.

The adapters preserve real command output and logs. They do not hide profile export, stack installation, cluster registration, function lifecycle actions, or product validation.

Customer Release Notes

Not customer visible.

Plan Summary

Not applicable.

Usage

Feature PRs can use the shared observable while keeping the target and expectations in Gherkin:

Then every Pylon for function "bdd-registration-tls" using container "llm-worker" and context "k3d-ncp-local-compute-1" should report metrics within "10m":
  | metric                               | comparison | count |
  | pylon_registration_stream_connected | exactly    | 3     |

Testing

Live QA remains in the dependent feature PRs.

Notes

Per the requested review scope, this change does not implement finding 5. Individual kubectl calls are not yet preempted by the remaining polling window, so an indefinitely blocked API call can exceed the visible timeout.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds shared BDD assertions and registration observability support. It introduces explicit WatchStargates and Pylon metrics command builders, strict shell scripts, Godog steps, validation tests, and updated BDD documentation.

Changes

Registration observability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Command result and output assertions
tests/bdd/steps/assertion_steps.go, tests/bdd/steps/steps_test.go
Adds non-zero command assertions and rejects empty or whitespace-only interpolated output expectations.
Observability command adapters
tests/bdd/dsl/registration.go, tests/bdd/scripts/*, tests/bdd/dsl/registration_test.go
Adds validated WatchStargates and function-scoped Pylon metrics commands. The scripts validate streamed snapshots, poll every matching Pylon, count metric samples, and preserve discovery and scrape errors.
Registration steps and scenario integration
tests/bdd/steps/context.go, tests/bdd/steps/registration_steps.go, tests/bdd/steps/steps_test.go
Registers the new steps, parses metric expectation tables, executes commands, preserves results, and reports contextual failures.
Shared BDD vocabulary documentation
tests/bdd/PLAN.md
Documents the assertions, observability steps, command builders, and PylonMetricExpectation contract.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to afc3d

The shared Pylon metrics observation helper can run longer than its configured timeout when Kubernetes calls block, delaying or confusing BDD test runs. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to bound each call by the remaining observation time.

function to use lowercase initial text: “pylon metric expectations are empty”.

In `@tests/bdd/scripts/wait-pylon-metrics.sh`:
- Line 81: Bound both kubectl invocations in the wait loop, including the
pod-list request and metrics request, by the current remaining observation time
so blocked API calls cannot exceed deadline. Recalculate and apply the per-call
timeout from remaining before each invocation, while preserving the existing
deadline checks and polling behavior. Add coverage for blocked pod-list and
blocked metrics requests.
- Line 69: Update the connected_series_count matching logic in the metrics wait
script to compare the Prometheus sample value field rather than $NF, so
timestamped samples are handled correctly; also add a fixture covering
timestamped metrics.
