…d node pressure Follow-up to the storage-CPU-headroom experiment (#952, refuted: bumping the storage pod's own CPU limit 4x made no difference to the 17-18/31 residual failure rate). Traced one failing job's logs end-to-end: the container-profile write path times out repeatedly ("failed to create container profile, requeuing" / context deadline exceeded) with the internal write queue backing up, independent of the storage pod's own cgroup quota. Two remaining candidates from the original investigation, neither yet confirmed with hard data: 1. Node-level CPU oversubscription on the shared GitHub-hosted runner (the storage pod's own limit doesn't matter if the whole node has no free cycles to give it). 2. CI pod churn/restarts (liveness-probe failures under CI resource pressure) generating extra container-profile write traffic independent of storage, per #949's original observation of multiple container-instance IDs for the same logical container within ~1 minute. This is a diagnostic-only change: adds a step (always-run, after the existing log dump) that captures `kubectl describe nodes` (allocatable vs requested resources), `kubectl get pods -A -o wide` (restart counts), a `kubectl describe pod` for any pod with a non-zero restart count, and cluster events sorted by time -- across the full matrix, so failing vs passing jobs can be correlated against actual restart/pressure evidence instead of a single manually-traced job.

💡 Result:
When you use shell: bash in a GitHub Actions run step on a Linux runner, GitHub Actions automatically executes the command using the following arguments: bash --noprofile --norc -e -o pipefail {0}. Key components of this behavior include: --noprofile: Prevents bash from loading configuration files like /etc/profile or ~/.profile. --norc: Prevents bash from loading ~/.bashrc. -e: Ensures the shell exits immediately if any command in the script returns a non-zero exit status. -o pipefail: Ensures that if any command in a pipeline fails, the entire pipeline is considered failed (the exit status of the pipeline will be the exit status of the last command to exit with a non-zero status). {0}: This is a placeholder for the actual script content you provide in the workflow file. This default configuration ensures that your workflow steps run in a clean, predictable environment that is not affected by user-specific shell configurations and that failures in pipelines or commands are correctly caught. Note that while bash is the default for most Linux-based runners, it is not the default shell inside containers, where the default is sh [1]. You can override these defaults at the workflow or job level using the defaults.run key [2][3].

Inspect all regular and init-container statuses.
Line 195 checks only .status.containerStatuses[0].restartCount. A restarted sidecar or init container can be omitted when the first regular container has zero restarts. Enumerate all entries in containerStatuses and initContainerStatuses, then describe the pod when any restartCount is greater than zero.
The step uses GitHub Actions' default bash -e -o pipefail mode. Guard the per-pod kubectl describe command because a deleted pod can stop the loop before cluster events are collected.

Continue diagnostics when a pod disappears.
Because this job does not override shell, GitHub Actions runs the script with Bash -e. If the pod disappears between lines 195 and 199, kubectl describe fails and line 203 does not run. Wrap the command so transient errors do not stop event collection.
Proposed best-effort handling

Result: 20/31 failed this run (noisy vs. #951's 17/31 and #952's 18/31, but same band — no systematic shift). Both infrastructure hypotheses are now refuted with direct evidence, checked across 4 failing jobs (Test_01, Test_02, Test_14, Test_27):
So neither of the two leading hypotheses from the original investigation explains the residual ~17-20/31 failure rate. Per the original task's step 4, this is now a fresh investigation. The concrete lead worth pursuing next: node-agent's own container-profile write path is timing out and requeuing ( Not pursuing further blind parameter experiments. Closing this diagnostic PR; the kept diagnostic step (node describe + restart table + events) is a useful pattern worth re-adding permanently or reusing case-by-case, but not merging into main as-is since it's throwaway.

Purpose
Diagnostic experiment, not a proposed fix — do not merge.
Follow-up to the CPU-headroom experiment (#952, refuted): bumping the storage pod's own CPU limit 4x (500m→2000m) made no measurable difference to the residual 17-18/31 component-tests failure rate. Tracing one failing job (Test_01_BasicAlertTest) end-to-end showed the container-profile write path timing out repeatedly (
failed to create container profile, requeuing/context deadline exceeded), with the internal write queue backing up — independent of the storage pod's own cgroup quota.Two candidates remain, neither confirmed with hard data yet:
go test) is already saturated.This PR makes no behavioral change — it only adds an always-run diagnostic step after the existing log dump, capturing:
kubectl describe nodes(allocatable vs. requested resources, to check for node-level saturation)kubectl get pods -A -o wide(restart counts across the whole cluster)kubectl describe podfor any pod with a non-zero restart countkubectl get events -A --sort-by=.lastTimestamp(liveness/readiness probe failures, OOMKilled, etc.)...across the full ~30-job matrix, so failing vs. passing jobs can be correlated against real restart/pressure evidence instead of one manually-traced job.
