This PR makes ClusterExtension.spec.namespace optional by introducing “managed namespace” behavior resolved from bundle CSV annotations (including PSA label support), and updates reconciliation + tests/docs accordingly.
Changes:
- Add managed-namespace resolution from bundle metadata with a fallback chain and persist the resolved namespace in status.
- Inject a managed Namespace object (with collision protection) and support applying PSA labels via
suggested-namespace-template. - Expand E2E/unit tests and update CRD schema/docs to reflect optional namespace + immutability rules.

I think we may want to refactor to deprecate spec.namespace, register a new field in the registry+v1 config schema for namespace. And then implement the logic on the bundle converter, which already reads and applies the config.
Would that work?

Sorry didn't notice this on my first comment about the CRD changes: Let's leave the standard configuration CRD completely unchanged. When we re-gen the CRDs, I'd expect helm/olmv1/base/operator-controller/crd/standard/olm.operatorframework.io_clusterextensions.yaml to be unchanged.

to let experimental users skip namespace, this PR loosened the validation rules on the namespace field, but those rules are shared, so the change showed up in both the standard and experimental CRDs. That's why standard changed.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Validation rules do not need to be shared though. We can have separate sets of validation for standard vs experimental.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The actual blocker is narrower: the DNS1123 matches rule contains double quotes, and the opcon tag parser (rule="([^"]*)") can't capture a quoted CEL rule, so that one rule has to stay a base marker both channels inherit. Two ways forward:
(1) keep the base rules identical to main and make managed mode omit the field rather than set "" (CEL only runs on present fields, so standard stays byte-identical), or
(2) extend the generator's regex to accept quoted CEL so we can split the DNS rule into separate standard/experimental opcon tags.
Happy to go whichever way you prefer:
(1) is no generator change but rejects an explicit namespace: "";
(2) keeps "" valid at the cost of a small generator change.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Ah, a limitation in the generator! Let's do (2). That seems like something we'll need regardless.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Done. Extended the generator's CEL regex to accept quoted rules, then split the namespace validation into per-channel opcon tags. Standard now regenerates byte-identical to main (empty diff on both the standard CRD and standard manifests), and experimental carries the relaxed rules. Added generator test cases for quoted rules since we'll want that capability generally.

There should be no changes to the standard CRD, right? Aren't we isolating our changes to the experimental CRD?

you're right, they should be isolated, but they aren't yet. To let experimental users skip namespace, the PR loosened the shared field markers (validation + required + description), and since those markers feed both channels, the change leaked into standard too. I can keep standard byte-identical by moving the relaxation entirely into experimental (managed mode = field omitted rather than ""), if we're OK rejecting an explicit namespace: "".

Nit: I'd suggest renaming this to something more semantic related to the feature it gates in the manifest provider rather than the feature gate we decided to put it behind.
Maybe IsNamespaceManagementEnabled, but still driven in main.go from the BoxcutterRuntime feature gate.

In this code, "neither" and "both" can't happen. It's a simple either/or on one thing: is spec.namespace set or not?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm asking from the perspective of the library, not the perspective of the caller. We should try to make the library itself cohesive and ergonomic (which would imply that options are in fact optional).
My suggestion here would be to remove render.RenderInstallNamespace() entirely. That would become the default. And then if WithInstallNamespace is passed as an option, then we get the existing self-managed behavior.
And with that change, I'd suggest WithSelfManagedInstallNamespace as the name to help illustrate that the default behavior is not a self-managed namespace.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
reworked it so the default (no option) is the OLM-managed namespace that emits its own Namespace object, and added WithSelfManagedInstallNamespace(ns) for the bring-your-own-namespace case. Dropped WithInstallNamespace/RenderInstallNamespace. The provider's if/else collapses to a single option, and the zero-option call now does the sensible thing.

I wonder if experimental should just let go of this immutability and allow changes: set to unset, unset to set, and set to something else.
We imagined that we'd eventually deprecate spec.namespace and move the field to be sourced from spec.config. Now that we don't have an SA field, I'm thinking the need for immutable namespace field is now much lower, maybe non-existent.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Agreed the SA-driven rationale is gone, but immutability still guards against stranding already-installed resources when the namespace changes, relaxing it safely needs GC/re-apply-on-change handling. I'd prefer to keep it immutable here and revisit when we move the field to spec.config.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't think we'd strand anything though, would we? We'd regenerate the entire set of manifests and anything in the old install namespace would be re-created in the new install namespace.
Unmanaged objects in the old namespace, potentially related to the ClusterExtension, wouldn't move. But I think that is a general problem that we can't really solve anyway, especially when OLM will have support for helm charts that can essentially do anything using their own config schema.
Ultimately, I guess the question is "if this field had started out as a field in spec.config and was not required due to SA existence, would we have made it immutable then?"
I think the answer is "probably not", but maybe we can dig up some of those discussions to help inform us.
As far as I can tell, this is not a PR-blocking discussion. It seems like this PR's immutability rules still only allow foo -> foo and "" -> "", and disallow setting/unsetting/changing. Which is the same semantic we have today, just with the relaxing of allowing unset on creation.

Any reason we need both InstallNamespace and InstallNamespaceTemplate. Could we just have InstallNamespace *corev1.Namespace, and if all we have is a name (and no metadata), we'd just populate/read from InstallNamespace.Metadata.Name?
Otherwise, it seems like there's the awkward possibility of InstallNamespace and InstallNamespaceTemplate disagreeing on the name.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Rather than collapse to *corev1.Namespace (which forces every namespace-name read to .Name), I dropped the typed template and kept only the labels/annotations it actually contributes, the name now has a single source of truth in InstallNamespace and there's no second .Name to disagree with.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
From a compiler/library standpoint though, InstallNamespaceTemplate.Metadata.Name is a valid field (that will always be unset, it sounds like). So there's still some ambiguity in the actual types/fields even if we (right now) are being careful to ignore it. Mainly I'm worried about this being something that could be a point of confusion to our future selves.
Can we think of a way to eliminate the ambiguity at the struct level?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Agreed, that ambiguity is exactly why I dropped the typed *corev1.Namespace template. render.Options now carries InstallNamespace string plus InstallNamespaceLabels/InstallNamespaceAnnotations map[string]string, so there's no second .Metadata.Name field to be silently ignored. The struct expresses only what it actually uses.

Kubernetes CRD CEL transition rules skipped when old or new field is missing optional field oldSelf self
💡 Result:
In Kubernetes, Common Expression Language (CEL) transition rules are validation rules that reference the oldSelf identifier [1][2]. By default, these rules are only evaluated when both an old value and a new value exist for the field [1][3]. Consequently, they are automatically skipped during operations where a value cannot be correlated, such as: 1. Creation of a Custom Resource [1][2]. 2. Update operations where the field is being set for the first time (i.e., it did not exist previously) [1][4]. 3. Update operations where the field is being unset (i.e., it existed but is being removed) [1]. Because the API server skips these rules when oldSelf cannot be determined, developers often encounter situations where validation logic is not enforced as expected during these specific transitions [1][2]. To control this behavior, you can use the optionalOldSelf: true configuration in the x-kubernetes-validations definition [2][4]. When optionalOldSelf is enabled: * The transition rule is evaluated unconditionally, even during creation or when the field is missing from the old object [2][4]. * The oldSelf variable is transformed into a CEL Optional type [2][4]. * You must use oldSelf.hasValue() to check for presence and oldSelf.value() to access the underlying data [5][4]. As of August 2026, there is no native optionalSelf field, meaning the self variable remains non-optional in standard transition rules; however, proposals exist to introduce optionalSelf to provide consistent optional handling for both oldSelf and self [5]. Until such a feature is implemented, developers must rely on the existing standard CEL optional handling for oldSelf to manage these transition edge cases [5][4].

Enforce mode locking when spec.namespace is omitted.
These field-scoped transition rules apply to optional namespace. Kubernetes skips them when the old or new field is absent. An extension can therefore set spec.namespace after creation or remove it later. Add a parent-object rule such as has(oldSelf.namespace) == has(self.namespace), retain value immutability for updates where both values exist, and add API-server tests for both transitions.
After changing API types, run make generate manifests crd-ref-docs and make lint-api-diff.

Description
When spec.namespace is omitted, operator-controller resolves a managed namespace from bundle metadata using the fallback chain: suggested-namespace-template > suggested-namespace > -system.
The managed namespace is included as a ClusterObjectSet object with collision protection. Pod Security Admission labels from the bundle's suggested-namespace-template annotation are applied to the managed namespace, enabling operators to declare their PSA requirements
