TL;DR

Retry the local sample Gateway route until Envoy finishes reconciliation instead of failing bootstrap on the first request.

Additional Details

The Gateway and HTTPRoute can report ready before Envoy serves the new route. The local bootstrap previously issued one immediate request, which made healthy clusters fail during this short startup window.

This change adds a bounded helper used by make validate-gateway. The timeout and retry interval remain configurable. A focused shell test covers eventual success, timeout, and invalid settings.

Customer Release Notes

Local self-managed cluster setup now tolerates the short delay between Gateway readiness and route availability.

Plan Summary

No Kubernetes resources change. This only changes local readiness validation.

Usage

The defaults wait up to 60 seconds and retry every 2 seconds. Override GATEWAY_ROUTE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS or GATEWAY_ROUTE_RETRY_INTERVAL_SECONDS when running the local Make target.

For the Reviewer

Please focus on the retry termination conditions and the fake-command shell test.

For QA

QA needed: no additional manual QA.

Tests run:

  • tools/ncp-local-cluster/tests/test-validate-gateway-route.sh
  • bash -n tools/ncp-local-cluster/scripts/validate-gateway-route.sh tools/ncp-local-cluster/tests/test-validate-gateway-route.sh
  • git diff --check

Notes

The full local k3d smoke will run again when PR #1363 is reduced to its BDD-only form.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Gateway route validation now retries HTTP checks until the route is reachable or the configured timeout expires.
    • Timeout and retry interval settings can be customized for different environments.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved gateway startup validation for routes that are not immediately available, with retries governed by an overall deadline.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for successful retries, timeout failures, remaining-time limits, capped delays, retry counts, and invalid configuration values.

Wait for Envoy to finish reconciling the sample route before local bootstrap fails.

Closes #1364

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The local cluster Gateway route validation now uses configurable timeout and retry-interval values. It enforces an absolute deadline across curl attempts and retry sleeps. Focused tests verify deadline handling and invalid configuration. Documentation uses the new Make target.

Changes

Gateway route validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded route validation and deadline tests
tools/ncp-local-cluster/scripts/validate-gateway-route.sh, tools/ncp-local-cluster/tests/test-validate-gateway-route.sh
The validator uses a wall-clock deadline, passes remaining time to curl --max-time, and caps retry sleeps. Tests verify timeout expiry, remaining-time limits, capped sleeps, and invalid settings.
Makefile integration and documented validation
tools/ncp-local-cluster/Makefile, tools/ncp-local-cluster/AGENTS.md
The Makefile adds configurable defaults, delegates route checks to the validator, adds the focused test target, and documents that target.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 74640

This change adds bounded retries to local Gateway route validation without changing Kubernetes resources or production behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Explanation

The changes satisfy issue #1364. They add bounded, configurable retries with 60-second and 2-second defaults, preserve failure on timeout, reject invalid settings, provide focused eventual-success and timeout tests, and keep the existing validation flow within tools/ncp-local-cluster.

targets: add a test-validate-gateway-route target and document invoking it with
make test-validate-gateway-route, or move the direct
tests/test-validate-gateway-route.sh command into a separate shell-test section.
Update the relevant validation instructions in AGENTS.md without changing
unrelated guidance.

In `@tools/ncp-local-cluster/scripts/validate-gateway-route.sh`:
- Line 27: Update the timeout loop in the gateway validation script to use an
absolute wall-clock deadline rather than accumulating only sleep intervals.
Compute remaining time before each retry, pass that value as curl’s maximum
time, and cap the final sleep to the remaining deadline so validation exits
within the configured timeout.
