Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to A CA-bundle update can restart etcd before the new files are installed and then fail to restart it again, leaving stale trust data that can cause API-to-etcd TLS failures and crashloops.

Remove raw internal node names from logs and logged errors.
RunTnfEtcdRestart logs node names directly. It also returns errors with node names. exec.Execute logs the complete commands from Lines 88 and 95, which also contain node names. NewEtcdRestartCommand then logs these returned errors with klog.Fatal.
pkg/tnf/etcd-restart/runner.go#L50-L106: use sanitized operation messages and sanitized errors. Do not pass raw node-bearing commands to command logging.cmd/tnf-setup-runner/main.go#L134-L145: log only sanitized runner errors.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Make restart_no_leave cleanup reliable before advancing.
Line [96] defers cleanup with the parent workflow context. If that context expires, the cleanup command can run with a canceled context and leave the attribute set. The helper also consumes exec.Execute failures and returns no error. After a successful restart, the caller can therefore start the next node even when cleanup failed.
Use a separate, bounded cleanup context. Return the cleanup failure from restartEtcdOnNode when no earlier error exists, and stop the sequential loop before advancing.
As per path instructions, **/*.go: “Never ignore error returns” and use context.Context for cancellation and timeouts.

}Have the deferred cleanup use a short independent timeout and propagate the returned error through restartEtcdOnNode.

Summary
certificate files on disk and restarts etcd when they change, preventing
force_new_clusterduring CA rotationwatch-certssubcommand to thetnf-monitorbinary with fsnotify-basedfile watching and a 1-minute fallback poll
2-node etcd cluster
Problem
In TNF deployments, etcd is managed by Pacemaker and runs as a podman container
outside of Kubernetes. When the etcd CA bundle is rotated (e.g., during
certificate rotation), etcd does not automatically reload the new CA certificates.
The kube-apiserver presents a client certificate signed by the new CA, but etcd
still trusts only the old CA — causing etcd to reject API server connections with
remote error: tls: unknown certificate authority. This results in kube-apiserverentering CrashLoopBackOff and complete loss of API availability.
Solution
A lightweight DaemonSet (
tnf-cert-watcher) runs on each control-plane node and:fsnotify(with 2-second debounce) and a1-minute fallback poll for atomic directory replacements
are healthy before proceeding — preventing both nodes from restarting
simultaneously and losing quorum

Key design decisions
podman restartinstead ofpcs resource restartpcs resource restartruns the OCF agent's stop then start actions. But that's problemativ: the OCF stop action stops the container, and during the stop→start transition, the OCF monitor on the peer node can fire, see the member is down, and mark it as FAILED. Additionally, it is a silent no-op when the resource is unmanagedrestart_no_leaveon local node onlyforce_new_cluster holders changed after decisionerrors in the OCF agent
