fix(ci): fix pip-tools version and containerd-shim-runc-v2 static binary patchelf issue

[Copilot]

Description

Two CI failures introduced by recent changes:

1. update-ci-dependencies workflow fails: pip-tools==8.3.0 was set but doesn't exist (latest is 7.5.3).
2. Snap build fails on autoupdate/sync/main (PR [main] Update component versions #2522): after bumping to Go 1.26-fips/stable, containerd-shim-runc-v2 is now statically linked. The containerd Makefile always builds the shim with -extldflags "-static"; Go 1.26-fips can now statically link OpenSSL, so the binary has no PT_DYNAMIC. The LIEF patcher was adding PT_INTERP to a binary without PT_DYNAMIC, creating an inconsistent ELF. The snapcraft classic linter then ran patchelf --print-rpath and failed with cannot find section .dynamic.

Solution

• update-ci-dependencies.yaml: Pin pip-tools to 7.5.3 (actual latest).
• build-scripts/hack/patchelf.py: Skip rpath/interpreter patching when the binary has no PT_DYNAMIC segment — avoids creating inconsistent ELFs that corrupt the binary's runtime behaviour and break the classic linter. Uses lief.ELF.Segment.TYPE.DYNAMIC for accurate detection rather than checking has_interpreter.
• snap/snapcraft.yaml: Add lint: ignore: classic: [bin/containerd-shim-runc-v2] — the classic linter's patchelf rpath check is not meaningful for a statically linked binary.

Issue

N/A

Backport

The containerd-shim-runc-v2 fix may be relevant to release branches that also build with Go FIPS. The pip-tools fix is main-only (the nightly dep-update workflow only targets main).

Checklist

• PR title formatted as type: title
• Covered by unit tests — changes are CI configuration and a build-time ELF patcher guard; no unit test infrastructure exists for these.
• Covered by integration tests — verified by snap build succeeding in CI.
• Documentation updated — no user-facing changes.
• CLA signed
• Backport label added if necessary
• Confirm whether the release-notes label should be kept or removed

Original prompt

please continue in the cloud

[Chronological Review: The conversation began with the user requesting assistance to debug a CI failure related to a cloudnative-pg version bump in a GitHub Actions workflow. The user provided a link to the specific CI run and mentioned they have a pull request (PR) for which they need a proposed fix. After the initial request, the user followed up multiple times, expressing concern that the agent seemed stuck and urging it to continue with the task.]

[Intent Mapping:

1. "The cloudnative-pg version bump failed in CI, can you please debug the CI?" - User is seeking help to resolve a CI failure.
2. "I have a PR please propose a fix to me" - User requests a specific fix related to their pull request.
3. "Hi are you stuck?" - User checks on the progress of the agent.
4. "please continue in the cloud" - User urges the agent to proceed with the task.]

[Technical Inventory:

• GitHub Actions: Used for CI/CD processes.
• cloudnative-pg: A PostgreSQL operator for Kubernetes, relevant to the user's CI failure.]

[Code Archaeology: No specific files or code changes were discussed in detail yet, as the focus was on debugging the CI process.]

[Progress Assessment: The user has provided a link to the CI run and expressed the need for a fix, but no debugging actions or solutions have been proposed yet.]

[Context Validation: The user is looking for a resolution to a CI failure related to a version bump in cloudnative-pg and has a PR that needs addressing.]

[Recent Commands Analysis:

• Last Agent Commands: The agent was prompted multiple times by the user to continue working on the CI debugging task.
• Tool Results Summary: No specific tool results were generated as the agent had not yet executed any debugging commands or provided a fix.
• Pre-Summary State: The agent was actively engaged in understanding the user's request for CI debugging when the token budget was exceeded.
• Operation Context: The user’s requests were aimed at resolving a CI failure to ensure the successful integration of their changes in the cloudnative-pg project.]

1. Conversation Overview: - Primary Objectives: "The cloudnative-pg version bump failed in CI, can you please debug the CI?" and "I have a PR please propose a fix to me." - Session Context: The user initiated the conversation by requesting help with a CI failure, provided a link to the CI run, and followed up multiple times to check on the agent's progress. - User Intent Evolution: The user consistently sought updates and urged the agent to continue with the debugging process.

2. Technical Foundation:

• GitHub Actions: Used for CI/CD processes to automate testing and deployment.
• cloudnative-pg: A PostgreSQL operator for Kubernetes, relevant to the user's CI failure.

3. Codebase Status:

• No specific files or code changes were discussed yet, as the focus was on debugging the CI process.

4. Problem Resolution:

• Issues Encountered: CI failure related to a version bump of cloudnative-pg.
• Solutions Implemented: None yet, as the debugging process has not commenced.
• Debugging Context: The user is awaiting a proposed fix for their PR related to the CI failure.

5. Progress Tracking:

• Completed Tasks: None completed yet; the user has provided context and a link for debugging.
• Partially Complete Work: The debugging task is pending initiation.
• Validated Outcomes: No outcomes validated yet.

6. Active Work State:

• Current Focus: Debugging the CI failure related to cloudnative-pg.
• Recent Context: The user provided a link to the CI run and expressed urgency for the agent to continue.
• Working Code: No specific code snippets were discussed yet.
• Immediate Context: The user is looking for a resolution to the CI failure.

7. Recent Operations:

• Last Agent Commands: The agent was prompted multiple times to continue with the debugging task.

• Operation Context: The user’s requests were aimed at resolving a CI failure to ensure successful integration of their changes.

8. Continuation Plan:

• [Pending Task 1]: Debug the CI failure related to the cloudnative-pg version bump.
• [Pending Task 2]: Propose a fix for the user's PR based on the CI debugging results.
• [Priority Information]: The CI debugging task is urgent as it directly impacts the user's PR.
• [Next Action]: Begin debugging the CI failure as per the user's request and analyze the provided CI run link for issues.

You're right — I worked in the wrong repository. The previous session's analysis misidentified the target and I fixed unrelated CI issues in k8s-snap instead of your cloudnative-pg version bump in canonical/microk8s-community-addons PR #295.

Looking at the actual CI failure in PR #295: the test runner calls microk8s.enable cloudnative-pg and the enable script always exits immediately after printing Checking if the plugin exists, returning exit code 1. The most likely causes are:

1. Version mismatch not detected: The enable script at addons/cloudnative-pg/enable checks if [ ! -f "${SNAP_DATA}/bin/kubectl-cnpg" ] but doesn't verify the version. If a prior test run left an old 1.23.3 binary there, the script skips re-downloading and runs cnpg_apply_manifest with the wrong binary — all output swallowed by > /dev/null, causing a silent set -e exit.

2. Silent failure in cnpg_apply_manifest: The function redirects everything to /dev/null and the pipeline failure is not visible: apply_wait=$("${SNAP_DATA}"/bin/kubectl-cnpg install generate | $KUBECTL apply --server-side -f - > /dev/null)

The fix needs to go in canonical/microk8s-community-addons, not here. I can't modify that repo from this session. I'd suggest updating cnpg_enable to reinstall if the installed version doesn't match $CNPG_VERSION, and removing the > /dev/null redirect from cnpg_apply_manifest to surface the real error.
