Description

Revert "ROX-37330,ROX-37331: Fix incorrect init container protos,CR generation (#23135)"

This reverts commit 19ae183.

The point of #23135 was to prevent the customer from getting into a situation where they excluded all containers from a policy. That was not ideal, and since the requirements at the time only mentioned init containers, it was decided to remove the regular containers. Since then, customer feedback was received indicating that customers may in fact what policies that only do things for init containers and thus exclude regular containers. If we remove regular containers in 5.0 and customers want to exclude regular containers from policies, they would have to file an RFE and wait at least 4 months for the next release. That is not ideal.

So, in the interest of those customers, this PR returns the exclusion of regular containers as an option. The customer would have to craft a policy specifically to do that. In a follow-up in a patch release, we should add validation so that no new policies are created that exclude all possible container types (that is, a no-op). This also allows us to add other container types to that enumeration over time.

The test fixes and CR generation fixes from #23135 have been retained.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Policy evaluation filters can skip regular containers as well as init containers.
    • Specify INIT or REGULAR in policy configuration to choose which container type to skip; SKIP_INIT is no longer supported.

Walkthrough

The evaluation filter now uses the shared ContainerType enum to identify skipped containers. INIT and REGULAR replace SKIP_INIT across the protobuf, configuration API, policy schemas, backend filtering, tests, and UI.

Changes

Container-type evaluation filters

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update the filter contract
proto/storage/policy.proto, config-controller/api/v1alpha1/policy_types.go, config-controller/api/v1alpha1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go, config-controller/config/crd/bases/..., image/templates/helm/..., operator/bundle/manifests/..., central/graphql/resolvers/generated.go, ui/apps/platform/src/types/policy.proto.ts, config-controller/api/v1alpha1/policy_types_test.go
EvaluationFilter now uses ContainerType values INIT and REGULAR. The storage SkipContainerType enum and GraphQL registration and conversion helpers were removed. The CRD schemas list the new values.
Apply container-type filters
pkg/booleanpolicy/filter/container_type.go, central/policy/service/validator_test.go, pkg/booleanpolicy/filter/compile_test.go, pkg/detection/compiled_policy_test.go
The filter builds its skip set directly from container types. Tests cover skipping init or regular containers and validate lifecycle and event-source cases.
Update policy consumers and integration coverage
central/policy/customresource/custom_resource_test.go, central/policy/customresource/testdata/custom_resource.yaml, ui/apps/platform/src/Containers/Policies/..., tests/init_container_test.go, tests/policy_as_code_test.go
Policy fixtures and integration tests use INIT and REGULAR. The UI’s init-container checks and toggle use INIT instead of SKIP_INIT.

Review comments at
@config-controller/config/crd/bases/config.stackrox.io_securitypolicies.yaml:
- Around line 87-88: Migrate existing SecurityPolicy CRs before tightening the
skipContainerTypes enum: convert stored SKIP_INIT values to INIT so updates
remain valid, and apply the same schema transition to the Helm and operator CRD
copies.

Review comments at @proto/storage/policy.proto:
- Line 183: Update the ContainerType enum and skip_container_types field in the
policy schema so existing stored value 0 continues to mean SKIP_INIT; preserve
existing skip-filter behavior by retaining the old field for conversion or using
a new field number for the revised enum.

Review comments at @ui/apps/platform/src/types/policy.proto.ts:
- Line 162: Add REGULAR to the ContainerType union, then update the policy form,
detail, and table views to display and edit REGULAR accurately alongside INIT,
preserving the selected container types when users change the policy.

I maintain: I do not recommend this revert, not the change in behavior. I will note, once again, the revert gets us into territories that are set in stone for the future. The current path keeps options open.

I took some time to test this, sharing my results here which include the tests cases I thought of and how I validated them.

Test Cases I thought of that are already validated by e2e's or other automated tests:

  1. Policy with skipContainerTypes: ["INIT"] - covered by TestEvaluationFilterSkipsInitContainers (renamed to just TestEvaluationFilterSkipsContainers in this PR).
  2. CRD with evaluation filter syncs to Central - covered by TestCRWithEvaluationFilter in tests/policy_as_code_test.go. The version in this PR checks both INIT and REGULAR CRs and verifies the filter in Central.
  3. Reject a build-only policy with a filter: Covered by the build-only with skip init is rejected case in TestValidateEvaluationFilter in central/policy/service/validator_test.go.
  4. Reject audit-log and node-event policies with a filter - Covered by the audit log event with skip init is rejected and node event with skip init is rejected cases in the same unit test.

Things I manually tested:

  1. Policy with skipContainerTypes: ["REGULAR"] - I POSTed a deploy policy through the API with skipContainerTypes: ["REGULAR"]. Central returned a 200 with evaluationFilter.skipContainerTypes: ["REGULAR"].
  2. Reject an invalid CRD enum: - I manually applied a SecurityPolicy with skipContainerTypes: ["INVALID"]. K8s rejected it with Unsupported value: "INVALID": supported values: "REGULAR", "INIT".
  3. The UI filter option still shows - I manually opened the policy wizard and stepped through to the Filters screen, confirmed the skip init containers checkbox is still good.

scanner install job is failing pretty regularly with the same thing.
ocp-4-12 could not create the cluster. Since the other ocp jobs succeeded I'm not inclined to re-run that one.
