Summary

  • Adds `hack/verify-release.py`, a Python script that validates WMCO release quality against multiple external sources
  • Checks errata accuracy, git tag presence, support page GA listing, Jira epic closure, and GitLab advisory YAML consistency
  • Performs a connectivity pre-check at startup and fails early if any required endpoint is unreachable
  • When run with `--all`, prints a grouped failure summary at the end for easy triage

Checks performed

Check Description
`advisory_version_match` Errata page mentions the correct x.y.z version and no others; reports issued date
`git_tag_exists` Git tag exists in the repo and matches the bundle image build commit
`support_page_ga` x.y.0 releases are listed on the Windows Containers support policy page (date not validated)
`epic_status` Jira release epic is Closed with all children done, tag pushed, and (for x.y.0) support page updated
`advisory_yaml` GitLab advisory YAML has correct synopsis/topic, product_version, product_stream, versioned tags, and bundle digest

Usage

```bash

Check latest version only (default)

python3 hack/verify-release.py

Check a specific version

python3 hack/verify-release.py --version 10.21.1

Check all shipped versions

python3 hack/verify-release.py --all
```

Optional env vars: `GITHUB_TOKEN`, `GITLAB_TOKEN`, `JIRA_URL`, `JIRA_EMAIL`, `JIRA_TOKEN`

Test plan

  • `python3 hack/verify-release.py --version 10.21.1` — all checks pass
  • `python3 hack/verify-release.py --version 10.19.1` — advisory_yaml fails (synopsis missing patch version)
  • `python3 hack/verify-release.py --all` — failure summary printed at end
  • Disconnect from network and confirm connectivity pre-check fails with a clear error message

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds hack/verify-release.py, a standalone CLI for WMCO release verification. It retrieves data from the Red Hat Container Catalog, Errata, GitHub, GitLab, Jira, and the support policy page. It validates catalog entries, advisory data, image digests, Git tags and commits, Jira release epics, and support-policy GA entries. It supports latest, specified, and all catalog versions. It reports pass, fail, and skip results and returns exit codes for success, validation failures, or fatal errors.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0ceb7

The release verifier can currently report success from incomplete source data, reject valid advisories, or abort on malformed advisory content. These correctness issues should be fixed before relying on it for release-quality decisions.

Explanation

The new script logs the configured Jira endpoint in normal status output. check_epic_status() builds epic_url from JIRA_URL and includes it in PASS and FAIL details at lines 879-882 and 915-921. JIRA_URL is user-configurable and may contain an internal hostname. Error output also forwards raw request exceptions, which can include the Jira URL, at lines 872, 895, 1050-1051, and 1109-1110. The GitHub and GitLab token values are not directly printed, but the URL and exception output are not redacted.

Resolution

Do not include JIRA_URL or raw request exception text in logs. Report only a fixed service label, Jira issue key, HTTP status, and a sanitized error category. If a Jira link is required, remove URL userinfo and omit the hostname, or explicitly allow only a known public host before logging it. Apply the same redaction to all fetch and connectivity error paths, and add tests that set JIRA_URL to an internal host and credential-bearing URL and verify that neither the host, password, token, nor full URL appears in output.

Squashed all commits into one and added `GITLAB_TOKEN` support for authenticating against the internal `gitlab.cee.redhat.com` API.

Changes in latest commit (ad5403f):

  • Added `_gitlab_headers()` helper that reads `GITLAB_TOKEN` from the environment and returns the appropriate `PRIVATE-TOKEN` header
  • Passed the header to `_fetch_advisory_yaml()` when fetching advisory YAML files
  • Passed the header to the connectivity probe for GitLab CEE

Usage:
```bash
export GITLAB_TOKEN=
python3 hack/verify-release.py --all
```

A GitLab personal access token with `read_api` scope can be created at https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/-/user_settings/personal_access_tokens.

Corrected the squashed commit (e5340d2) — the previous push accidentally included unrelated Konflux .tekton and Containerfile.bundle changes that were on master after the branch was originally cut. Those have been reverted; the commit now only contains hack/verify-release.py.

In `@hack/verify-release.py`:
- Around line 629-655: The loop currently sets bundle_digest_checked only when
an image with "operator-bundle" is present, so if the bundle image is missing
the function wrongly passes; after iterating spec.get("content",
{}).get("images", []) add a post-check: if bundle_digest is set and
bundle_digest_checked is False then append a failure indicating the advisory's
bundle digest could not be validated because no "operator-bundle"
image/containerImage entry was found (reference symbols: versioned_tag_prefix,
bundle_digest, bundle_digest_checked, spec.get(...), img_entry, component,
"operator-bundle").
- Around line 568-574: The YAML loader may return None, a list, or a scalar, so
after calling yaml.safe_load(resp.text) validate that `data` is a dict before
caching/dereferencing; if it's not a dict, raise a RuntimeError with a clear
message including the advisory_id and the actual type/value (so the caller
produces a clean failure instead of hitting AttributeError/TypeError). Update
the block around the yaml.safe_load call (the variable `data` and cache
`_advisory_yaml_cache`) to perform this check and raise accordingly, and apply
the same validation in the other similar spots referenced in the diff (the other
yaml.safe_load usages around the 600 and 633 contexts).
- Around line 514-535: The check_support_page_ga function currently only
verifies that the minor version exists in ga_map; update it to also validate
that the GA date from ga_map[minor_ver] matches the image's GA date: obtain the
image GA date from the image dict (e.g., image.get("ga_date") or fallback to
image.get("release_date")), parse/normalize both dates to a canonical format
(YYYY-MM-DD) using datetime parsing, compare them, and return False with a clear
message when they differ (include both expected and actual dates); keep the
existing behavior for patch releases and existing error handling from
_fetch_support_ga_dates and adjust the final success message to include the
matched GA date.
- Around line 427-434: The current logic in _git_tag_sha() and
check_git_tag_exists() silently falls back to the tag object SHA when the
annotated-tag resolution request fails, producing invalid commit SHAs; change
these functions so that when obj_type == "tag" and the HTTP request to resolve
the annotated tag (the _get call that populates tag_resp) raises a
requests.RequestException or returns a non-2xx response, you do NOT use the tag
object's SHA as a fallback but instead surface an error condition (e.g., raise a
descriptive exception or return None/an error value) so callers can fail loudly;
update callers (e.g., the SHA comparison site that currently compares against
build_commit) to handle the error return/exception rather than treating it as a
valid SHA.

677-696: Consider retry logic for Jira API calls.

_jira_search() uses requests.post() directly without retry handling for transient network failures. The search endpoint is idempotent, so retries are safe. Given this script runs against multiple external services where network hiccups are common, adding retry logic (similar to _get()) would improve resilience.

Lower priority since the caller does catch RequestException, but a transient DNS blip shouldn't fail the entire check.

create a small retry loop/session with urllib3 Retry) around the requests.post
call, preserve the existing timeout/json logic and cursor pagination using
body["nextPageToken"], and ensure RequestException still bubbles to the caller
as before.

445-446: SHA comparison uses prefix matching — verify this is intentional.

The comparison sha.startswith(build_commit) or build_commit.startswith(sha) handles cases where one SHA might be truncated. Both values should be full 40-character SHAs from their respective APIs, so exact equality comparison would be more precise. The current logic works but is permissive if either side were ever shortened unexpectedly.

Not a blocking issue given the astronomical improbability of SHA prefix collisions, but worth confirming the data sources always provide full SHAs.

Fail loudly when annotated tag resolution fails; don’t fall back to tag-object SHA.

- Around line 629-660: The loop currently sets bundle_digest_checked when it
finds an "operator-bundle" image, but if bundle_digest is present in image and
no operator-bundle entry exists the check silently passes; update the post-loop
logic to detect that case: after iterating spec.get("content", {}).get("images",
[]) check if bundle_digest is truthy and bundle_digest_checked is still False
and, if so, append a failure to failures (using the same advisory_id/context)
indicating the missing operator-bundle image or missing bundle digest match;
this ensures the function (which returns False with failures) fails when a
bundle digest is expected but no operator-bundle entry was found.

marker used elsewhere) that includes advisory_id and the actual type/value to
avoid later .get(...) attribute errors. Update the block around yaml.safe_load,
the subsequent _advisory_yaml_cache[advisory_id] assignment and the function
return to perform this type check and error handling consistently (same pattern

CI Failure Analysis

None of the 5 failing jobs are caused by this PR's changes (hack/verify-release.py touches nothing in the test path).

Summary

Job Failing Step Classification
aws-e2e-operator TestWMCO/destroy/Deletion/Prometheus_endpoint_slice_cleanup — node not found after deletion Pre-existing test bug
vsphere-disconnected-e2e-operator Same test, same error Pre-existing test bug
gcp-e2e-operator operator-sdk binary failed to download at runtime (network egress blocked in CI pod) Infrastructure flake
vsphere-proxy-e2e-operator Machine API Windows node never reached Ready (MAPI bootstrap timeout in proxy environment) Infrastructure flake
wicd-unit-vsphere vSphere capacity manager allocated a multi-tenant lease to a single-tenant job Infrastructure flake

Prometheus_endpoint_slice_cleanup test bug (aws + vsphere-disconnected)

Both e2e failures share the same root cause: a timing bug in testPrometheusEndpointSliceCleanup (test/e2e/metrics_test.go:107) introduced in commit 88be9f8fb. The test runs immediately after node deletion and calls Nodes().Get() on nodes referenced in kubelet EndpointSlices. When a node is deleted there is a propagation delay before the EndpointSlice controller removes stale TargetRef entries — the test hits this window and hard-fails with node not found rather than handling that case gracefully. This will reproduce on any PR until fixed on master.

Infrastructure flakes (gcp + vsphere-proxy + wicd-unit-vsphere)

  • gcp: operator-sdk is downloaded at runtime from GitHub rather than pre-installed in the test image; the download failed due to transient CI network egress restrictions.
  • vsphere-proxy: Only the Machine API node path failed (BYOH succeeded); consistent with a transient SSH/proxy timing issue during Windows service installation.
  • wicd-unit-vsphere: The vSphere capacity manager allocated a multi-tenant network lease to a job requiring a single-tenant lease; the pre-step script detected the mismatch and exited immediately after ~1h40m wait.

Recommended actions

  1. File a bug against testPrometheusEndpointSliceCleanup — it needs to either skip NotFound on the node lookup or poll for EndpointSlice convergence before asserting.
  2. Retest the infrastructure flakes: /test gcp-e2e-operator vsphere-proxy-e2e-operator wicd-unit-vsphere

I had the understanding there had to be at least one run before the test can be overridden. Has that changed and you can now override tests that have not yet been triggered?

Addressing @jrvaldes feedback from the review:

Duplicate Usage section — Removed the duplicate examples block (epilog) from argparse.ArgumentParser(); the module docstring is the single source of truth for usage.

Generalize [OK]/[FAIL] patterns — Added a _print_check(tag, label, detail, indent) helper that all status lines now route through, making it trivial to change the format in one place.

Python minimum requirements — The module docstring now opens with a Requirements line: Python 3.10 or later and pip install requests pyyaml.

List authoritative sources — The opening docstring sentence now names all six sources: Red Hat Container Catalog, Red Hat Errata, GitHub, GitLab CEE (releng/advisories), Jira (redhat.atlassian.net), and the Windows Containers support policy page.

Jira URL — Updated to https://redhat.atlassian.net in both the docstring and the JIRA_URL env-var example.

Redundant [PASS/FAIL] annotations — Stripped the [PASS/FAIL] suffix from each check description in the CHECKS section of the docstring; the OUTPUT CODES section already documents the format.

Apply the same default timeout as _get.

allowing main to exit with status 2 rather than reporting a false
catalog-completeness pass.

a missing total field does not end the loop; only compare len(images) against
total when the response explicitly supplies total, otherwise continue fetching

- Around line 446-454: Update the version checks in the advisory validation
logic around all_versions so versions are matched as complete tokens with
boundaries, not plain substrings. Apply the same boundary-aware matching to both

- Around line 712-717: Update the image-validation loop in check_advisory_yaml

versioned_tag_prefix.

Add a script that verifies WMCO release quality by checking:
- Advisory version matches the container image version
- Git tag exists and points to the correct build commit
- Windows Containers support page GA date matches image publish date
- Jira release epic is closed with all child issues done
- Advisory YAML fields (product name, version, stream, synopsis, topic,
  image tags, bundle digest) are correct
- Open MRs in releng/advisories for advisory failures, included in both
  per-version output and the --all failure summary
- Release cycle time reporting

Supports checking the latest version (default), a specific version
(--version), or all shipped versions (--all). Includes a connectivity
check at startup, retry logic for transient network errors, and a
failure summary with --all.

Requires GITLAB_TOKEN env var to authenticate against the internal
