Summary of Changes

Hello @abhinav-1305, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the test suite for Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) storage functionality. It introduces a wide array of unit and end-to-end tests to ensure robust handling of PVC URIs, metadata extraction from PVC-mounted models, and proper Kubernetes resource management for BaseModel and InferenceService objects utilizing PVCs. The added tests cover valid scenarios, edge cases, and various error conditions to improve the overall reliability of PVC-backed model serving.

Highlights

• Comprehensive PVC Storage Test Coverage: This PR introduces extensive unit and end-to-end test cases for PVC (Persistent Volume Claim) storage functionality, ensuring robust handling across various components.
• Storage Package Unit Tests: Added detailed unit tests for PVC URI parsing, validation, and edge cases within the pkg/utils/storage package, covering various subpath formats, special characters, and invalid URI scenarios.
• Model Agent Unit Tests: Enhanced unit tests for the model_metadata_agent and gopher components to validate config.json extraction, metadata mapping, Kubernetes API interactions for BaseModel/ClusterBaseModel updates, and error handling for malformed data or permission issues.
• BaseModel Controller Unit Tests: Introduced comprehensive tests for the BaseModel controller's interaction with PVC storage, including metadata job creation, job spec validation, idempotency, and reconciliation logic for different PVC states (bound, pending, non-existent).
• End-to-End PVC Workflow Tests: New E2E tests validate the complete lifecycle of models stored on PVCs, from PVC creation and population, through BaseModel processing and InferenceService deployment, including various error conditions and access mode behaviors (RWO, RWX).
