fix(validator): fail closed on unreadable results, harden probes - #3708
A validator result is credited only from output the orchestrator actually read, every validator image stamps the result contract it speaks and a check known to be observation-only is never credited as a demonstration, the conformance probe checks copy --image-pull-secret into their per-run namespaces and fail within seconds on a RuntimeClass whose handler the node does not serve, and a submission run is refused before any validator Job when the cluster's Kubernetes minor has no carried checklist or the recipe cannot establish an applicable MUST.
Motivation / Context
Deployer.ExtractResult kept exit code 0 with an empty Extra when the pod logs could not be read, so every structured marker a check emitted (skipReason, the coverage counts, observationOnly since #3689) was lost and an observation-only cluster-autoscaling pass rendered PASSED, the false claim #3681 set out to prevent. The same gap opened on marker version skew between CLI and image and on a single over-long log line (the bufio.Scanner read failed as a whole); the per-run probe namespaces ignored --image-pull-secret and waited out their full pod timeout on a missing RuntimeClass handler; and a submission against an uncarried Kubernetes minor or a recipe that cannot establish a MUST ran every check before failing on the verdict.
Runner fails closed.pkg/validator/job.ExtractResult and HandleTimeout share captureValidatorOutput: the log read is retried once (defaults.ValidatorLogReadAttempts, ValidatorLogReadRetryDelay, pause cut short by the context), and an exit-0 result whose logs still cannot be read becomes exit -1 (other) with result output unavailable: logs of pod <name> could not be read after N attempt(s), so the check's passing exit code is not credited: <error> (N is the attempts made), bounded like every termination message. A failed or skipped exit keeps its verdict and logs the read error. Config.LogReader makes the read injectable (envtest runs no kubelet). pkg/k8s/pod.GetPodLogs drains the stream in 64 KiB chunks (readLogStream) instead of a line scanner, so one line over LogScannerBufferSize no longer fails the whole read; StreamLogs, which streams lines to a writer, is unchanged.
Result contract.validators.Run emits resultSchema: "1" (ctrf.ResultSchemaVersion) as the first thing runCheck does, before LoadContext, so a result carries it whenever the stamp write succeeded, and a stamp that cannot be written fails the check. pkg/evidence/cncf.checkResult consults v1.IsObservationOnlyCheck (the one list, pkg/validator/v1/result_contract.go, today cluster-autoscaling): a passed result of such a check without the observationOnly marker is always read as observed, never as a demonstration, and the stamp words CheckResult.Reason: absent (result contract marker absent, the image predates the marker), the known version (observation-only marker absent from a result stamped with contract version 1, a dropped marker line), or an unknown version (result contract version unknown to this reader). A reason set by an earlier skipped or failed result of the same check is kept. validators/conformance pins every listed name to a registered check, and the catalog test pins the entry. Redaction allowlists the key as a closed set of known versions and PolicyVersion moves to v10 (#3701 took v9); the submission README goldens follow.
Shared keys.skipReason, observationOnly, resultSchema and the "true" value are declared once in pkg/validator/ctrf/extra_keys.go, which validators, pkg/evidence/cncf and pkg/evidence/redact already import; validators.ExtraKey* and the cncf constants are aliases. TestExtraKeysPinned freezes the strings, and the validators reflection test resolves the re-exports. The forwarded env name AICR_IMAGE_PULL_SECRETS has one home too, v1.ImagePullSecretsEnv, re-exported by validators.
EmitExtraOrWarn audit. Every emit site, with its disposition. Verdict-bearing extras (anything the aggregation reads to decide how a result is read) fail closed; informational ones stay warn-only, since the verdict is the exit code and they describe its scope or measurement.

--image-pull-secret reaches the probes.pkg/validator/v1.buildEnv forwards the names as AICR_IMAGE_PULL_SECRETS to every validator pod (names only, never a credential; a catalog-pinned value is ignored like the other orchestrator-owned variables). newGPUTestRun and newGangTestRun read them (validators.ImagePullSecretNames, validators.ValidatorNamespace), the namespace creators copy each Secret into the fresh namespace with the run's ownership label (copyImagePullSecrets: NotFound when the flag names a Secret the validator namespace lacks, Unauthorized on Forbidden, Timeout, else Internal, all before the first probe is created), and every probe builder attaches run.imagePullSecretRefs(): secure-accelerator-access (four pods), driver-runtime-management, workload-sandboxing (both pods), the IMEX channel probe, the inference-gateway traffic probe and backends, the pod-autoscaling workload, the ai-service-metrics stub, both gang-scheduling member kinds, the cluster-autoscaling Deployment and the robust-controller TrainJob (one runtimePatches entry setting imagePullSecrets on the node replicated job's pod template, verified against kubeflow/trainer v2.2.0; no patch when no Secret was forwarded). The copies die with the namespace. validators/performance keeps its own pod-spec-based copy (ensureWorkloadPullSecrets); unifying the two is a follow-up. An adopted namespace's existing copy is refreshed without re-checking its run label: the 128-bit name token already proves ownership.
Missing RuntimeClass handler fails fast. A pod whose handler the node does not serve stays Pending/ContainerCreating with no status change, so a pod watch alone waits out the timeout. waitForTerminalPodWithin lists the pod's FailedCreatePodSandBox events on each iteration and watches them beside the pod watch (consumeWatchEvents selects on both); sandboxCreateFailure classifies only the terminal messages (no runtime for, failed to get sandbox runtime, runtime handler, binary not installed (containerd's missing-shim message), executable file not found, the last scoped to this event reason so a missing CNI binary would read the same way), so a transient network-setup failure with the same reason does not fail the probe, and an event is ignored once the pod has progressed past sandbox creation (podAwaitingSandbox). An event watch that cannot be opened leaves the pod watch in charge. The cordoned/NotReady node case needs node state, not pod events, and is left for a follow-up.
kind-sim skip list.driver-runtime-management joins tests/uat/kind/tests/h100-training-slurm-config.yaml with the header's count moved from seven to eight and the stale pod-autoscaling and measurement prose corrected; skip-checks_test.sh guards the new count. On this Slurm recipe the check self-skips before reaching the simulated devices, so the entry records the lane's reason rather than an in-pod skip. No embedded overlay declares workload-sandboxing, so it is not listed.
Submission pre-flights (review additions). Once the snapshot is loaded or captured and before any validator Job, a submission run runs two checks, in the CLI (cncfSubmissionPreflight, cncfRecipeCoveragePreflight) and in the Go runCNCFSubmission between CollectSnapshot and ValidateState: the cluster's Kubernetes minor must match a carried checklist exactly (ValidateCNCFSubmissionOptions; 1.34 and 1.38 are refused alike, a submission certifies one minor) unless spec.validate.evidence.cncf.conformanceVersion / CNCFCollectOptions.ConformanceVersion names one, which is then carried into the write and recorded in the submission README as selected explicitly, with #3701's write-time refusal kept as the backstop; and the recipe's validation.conformance.checks must declare a complete proof path for every applicable MUST (cncf.RecipeCoverageGaps/ValidateRecipeCoverage, honouring alternativeProofs and notApplicable; facade Client.ValidateCNCFRecipeCoverage). A plain conformance run, and the pages render in the SDK, log the gaps and proceed. CollectCNCFEvidence also forwards ConformanceVersion into its upfront option checks, so an uncarried override is refused before the snapshot. Note for reviewers: the embedded training recipes declare neither inference-gateway nor robust-controller, so a submission run of a training recipe is now refused up front with those two named, where before it ran every check and failed on the verdict with the same two requirements not tested. The pages render keeps its nearest-checklist fallback with a warning.
Gang-scheduling on the shared run model. A 128-bit token names its namespace, PodGroups and pods, the namespace carries the ownership label the GPU test namespaces carry, the member pods carry the copied pull Secrets, cleanup confirms the namespace is gone within the budget (a deletion the apiserver accepted that is still Terminating is logged, not failed, as for the GPU test namespaces), and a namespace that could not be deleted fails an otherwise passing run (failOnGangCleanup) instead of being recorded as an artifact only.
Nodewright CR absent fails fast.expected-resources ends its readiness wait at once with NotFound when a Nodewright CR the recipe declares does not exist on the cluster (terminalProbeError through pollUntilStable), naming the absent CR, instead of polling the whole budget and leaving the chainsaw asserts unevaluated; CRs that exist keep being waited on. The contract is "declared CR absent = deployment incomplete, fail now": the CRs ship in the manifest-only nodewright-customizations component, which GitOps deployers sync in a later wave than the operator, so docs/user/validation.md states that under Argo CD, Flux or Fleet the deployment phase starts after every wave has synced; a poll of any length would only mask a sync gap it cannot bound.
Out of scope, deliberately: any check's verdict logic, the renderer templates, the #3704 and #3705 items, the sandbox runtime decision, the cordoned/NotReady fast-fail case, and unifying the performance checks' pull-secret copy with the conformance helper.

The unreadable-log path has no safe live reproduction and is covered by these fakes only.

make qualify on 8196964b1 (log judged by its result lines, /tmp/aicr/fail-closed-3703/qualify.log): Coverage check passed, lint-go0 issues., license headers ensured, every docs gate passed, tuning-check passed, e2e Chainsaw Passed tests 30 / Failed 0 / Skipped 0 and All tests passed!, the vulnerability scan reports one pre-existing Low (GO-2025-3547 in k8s.io/kubernetes v1.37.2, below the gate), license-check passed, api-diff against v1.2.0 lists only compatible additions (ValidateCNCFRecipeCoverage, CNCFCollectOptions.ConformanceVersion among them), openapi-diff passed, Codebase qualification completed, QUALIFY_EXIT=0. The appended f9a306518 changes one guard in the gang cleanup and a test; validators/conformance was re-linted (0 issues) and re-tested with the race detector on it.
AKS live validation on aicr-29937818785 (2x ND96isr_H100_v5, Kubernetes 1.35.5, recipe h100-aks-ubuntu-inference-dynamo from the #3601 run, 11 checks), validator image ghcr.io/yuanchen8911/aicr-validators/conformance:3703-f082ec88e (crane, linux/amd64 + arm64; the review-round commits change no probe behaviour the runs exercise) and the CLI built from the same commit, AICR_VALIDATOR_IMAGE_REGISTRY=ghcr.io/yuanchen8911 AICR_VALIDATOR_IMAGE_TAG=3703-f082ec88e:
Full conformance phase, --cncf-submission --evidence-dir with a shape-valid vendor and no notApplicable: all 11 checks passed in 15m42s; cluster_autoscaling aggregated observed (cluster-autoscaling observed, not demonstrated), so the run exited 8 as designed (CNCF submission not established: 1 applicable MUST requirement(s) of the v1.35 checklist are not established) and the staged directory was kept under submission-a.incomplete/v1.35/submission-a with the evidence pages; every result carried resultSchema: "1".
Missing RuntimeClass handler: throwaway RuntimeClass aicr-3703-missing-handler (handler does-not-exist-3703), a recipe copy declaring only workload-sandboxing, AICR_SANDBOX_RUNTIME_CLASS=aicr-3703-missing-handler: the phase completed in 17.7 s, exit 8, workload-sandboxing failed: sandboxed probe pod stuck: FailedCreatePodSandBox: ... no runtime for "does-not-exist-3703" is configured, the failed result stamped. Before this change the same pod waited out the 5 m pod timeout. RuntimeClass deleted afterwards.
Pull-secret propagation: throwaway kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson Secret aicr-3703-pull-secret in aicr-validation, a recipe copy declaring only driver-runtime-management, --image-pull-secret aicr-3703-pull-secret: passed in 13.6 s with resultSchema: "1"; kubectl --watch streams recorded the copy in the per-run namespace (type kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson, label aicr.run/gpu-test-run=<run token>) and the probe pod driver-runtime-probe-<token> with imagePullSecrets: aicr-3703-pull-secret through Pending and Succeeded; no aicr-gpu-test-* namespace or Secret copy remained. Secret deleted afterwards.
The missing-Nodewright fast failure has no live reproduction without cluster changes (the CR names come from the recipe's embedded manifests), so it is covered by the unit tests above.
The cluster was clean after each run: no aicr-gpu-test-* or cluster-auto-test-* namespace, no Job, pod, ServiceAccount, ClusterRoleBinding or ConfigMap of these runs in aicr-validation, no throwaway RuntimeClass or Secret.
Risk Assessment
Low — Isolated change, well-tested, easy to revert
Medium — Touches multiple components or has broader impact
High — Breaking change, affects critical paths, or complex rollout
Rollout notes: A passing check whose pod logs cannot be read now reports other and fails the run, where it passed silently before; the message names the read error. No pass of cluster-autoscaling renders PASSED any more, whatever the image: with the current image it is OBSERVED as #3689 intended, and with an older image the reason names the missing contract marker; a submission on a cluster where it passes exits non-zero unless notApplicable or documented covers it, which is the documented remedy. A submission run against an uncarried Kubernetes minor, or with a recipe that cannot establish an applicable MUST, is refused before any validator Job; spec.validate.evidence.cncf.conformanceVersion lifts the first, adding the checks lifts the second. A skip whose skipReason could not be written now fails the check. A probe on a RuntimeClass with a missing handler fails within seconds instead of after the pod timeout; a declared Nodewright CR absent from the cluster fails expected-resources at once. --image-pull-secret now creates Secret copies in the per-run namespaces, deleted with them, and a name the validator namespace lacks fails the probe-creating checks with NotFound. A gang-scheduling run whose namespace cannot be deleted now fails. Redaction policy version moves to v10.
Status
Ready for review. Head c1365d8f3 on origin/main0cf4a6543 (rebased from 23b26598e, gate-required, content unchanged), fifteen signed commits; the last five answer the current review round (pull secrets on the cluster-autoscaling and robust-controller workloads, the observation-only wording, the Nodewright CR comment and GitOps timing doc, the missing-shim marker, the log-read comments) and each is answered on its thread, left open for the reviewer. make qualify and the coverage deltas in Testing were measured on 8196964b1; the five review commits were verified with golangci-lint (0 issues) and go test -race on every touched package, and CI runs the full gate on this head.

The change adds CNCF submission preflights for checklist selection and recipe coverage. It adds result-schema stamping, fail-closed validator log handling, and observation-only aggregation behavior. Conformance checks now propagate image-pull Secrets into probe namespaces and detect selected sandbox failures. It also updates gang-scheduling cleanup, deployment readiness errors, skip-result handling, kind skip configuration, and related documentation.

Explanation
The title "fix(validator): fail closed on unreadable results, harden probes" matches the main change. The PR makes validator results fail closed when pod logs cannot be read, adds result-contract stamping for observation-only checks, and hardens conformance probes with image-pull-secret propagation and fast RuntimeClass failure. It also adds submission pre-flights, which the title does not name. The title is specific and concise, so the check passes.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Only directly linked issue #3703 applies. Its seven problems and acceptance criteria map to the current head f9a3065:
Unreadable output [#3703 item 1]: captureValidatorOutput in pkg/validator/job/result.go retries the log read once. An exit-0 result with unreadable logs becomes exit -1 (other) with a bounded result output unavailable message. Failed and skipped exits keep their verdicts. TestExtractResultUnreadableOutputFailsClosed and TestHandleTimeoutUnreadableOutput cover this. readLogStream in pkg/k8s/pod reads in 64 KiB chunks, so one long line no longer fails the read.
Marker skew [#3703 item 2]: validators.runCheck stamps resultSchema: "1" first. pkg/evidence/cncf reads a passed observation-only result without the observationOnly marker as observed, with a reason. TestAggregateReportObservationOnly and TestPublishResultSchema cover this.
Duplicated keys [#3703 item 3]: shared constants live in pkg/validator/ctrf/extra_keys.go. TestExtraKeysPinned pins the strings.
EmitExtraOrWarn audit [#3703 item 4]: SkipWithReason and the verdict-bearing skip sites fail closed. The PR audit table classifies each remaining warn-only site. The classification is a reviewer judgment, and the table gives a reason for each.
Pull-secret propagation [#3703 item 5]: AICR_IMAGE_PULL_SECRETS is forwarded, and copyImagePullSecrets copies each Secret into the per-run namespace. The listed probe builders attach the references, including the five checks named in the issue. The gang-scheduling member pods are covered by the same item. This assessment did not enumerate every probe-creating builder.
Missing RuntimeClass handler [#3703 item 6]: waitForTerminalPodWithin watches FailedCreatePodSandBox events beside the pod watch. sandboxCreateFailure classifies the runtime-missing messages. TestWaitForTerminalPod_MissingHandlerFailsFast and TestSandboxCreateFailure cover this. The reported AKS run failed in 17.7 s with the sandbox-creation reason.
kind-sim list [#3703 item 7]: driver-runtime-management is added to tests/uat/kind/tests/h100-training-slurm-config.yaml. The count moves to eight. skip-checks_test.sh guards the count.
The Nodewright fail-fast, gang-cleanup, and submission pre-flight changes are not required by #3703. They are assessed in the out-of-scope check. They do not change this verdict, because they do not remove any #3703 requirement.
Unverified gate: the make test acceptance criterion depends on CI. The PR reports make qualify as still running on 8196964, and the reported test runs use earlier heads. The gap concerns a gate, not a coding requirement.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description is specific and closely tied to the changeset. It explains the fail-closed handling of unreadable validator logs, the result-contract stamp and observation-only marker, the forwarding of --image-pull-secret into per-run probe namespaces, the fast failure on missing RuntimeClass handlers, and the submission pre-flights for Kubernetes minor and recipe coverage. It also maps these to the touched files and lists the tests and rollout risks, so it describes the changes in detail.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Three groups of changes remain in the whole-PR diff at head f9a3065. None of them is required by #3703. The PR description labels them as additions. The head moved, but the summary of the current diff shows the same three groups, so the previous conclusion still holds.
A. Nodewright fail-fast: validators/deployment/expected_resources.go and expected_resources_test.go. The diff confirms the change. pollUntilStable returns at once on terminalProbeError. verifyNodewrightReady fails on a missing declared Nodewright CR. The PR cites #3703 only as a reason. #3703 covers conformance probe pods, the result contract, extra keys, and the kind-sim list. It does not cover deployment-readiness waits. The change also alters a deployment-check verdict path, which the PR's own out-of-scope section excludes.
B. Gang-scheduling changes: validators/conformance/gang_scheduling_check.go, its test file, and helpers_test.go. These changes add failOnGangCleanup, a cleanup-deadline and deletion-confirmation rule, a 128-bit run token, and a namespace ownership label. #3703 requires none of them. The gang member pull-secret copy is part of #3703 item 5 and is in scope. The cleanup and token changes are not.
C. Submission pre-flights and recipe coverage: pkg/cli/validate.go (cncfSubmissionPreflight, cncfRecipeCoveragePreflight), pkg/client/v1/evidence.go (ConformanceVersion, ValidateCNCFRecipeCoverage), pkg/client/v1/cncf_submission.go, pkg/evidence/cncf/coverage.go and its tests, pkg/evidence/cncf/submission.go and readme.go (VersionExplicit), and their docs and README goldens. #3703 has no criterion for exact-minor checklist refusal, recipe proof-path coverage, or README checklist wording. The change refuses training-recipe submissions before any validator Job. #3703 does not request this behavior.
In scope: the resultSchema stamp and allowlist, the v10 redaction bump that carries the allowlist change, the audit-table call-site changes including ncclSkip, the AICR_IMAGE_PULL_SECRETS plumbing and probe builders, the event-watch changes, and the kind-sim list.
Resolution
Remove groups A, B, and C from this pull request. Move each group to a separate change that links an issue requiring it.
Revert validators/deployment/expected_resources.go and expected_resources_test.go to the base behavior, or move them to a change linked to a deployment-readiness issue.
Revert the failOnGangCleanup, cleanup-deadline, 128-bit token, and ownership-label changes in validators/conformance/gang_scheduling_check.go, gang_scheduling_check_test.go, and helpers_test.go. Keep the gang member pull-secret copy only if the PR description states that it implements #3703 item 5.
Revert the submission pre-flight, recipe-coverage, exact-minor, ConformanceVersion, and VersionExplicit changes in group C, with their docs and README-golden updates. Keep the write-time checklist check that exists at base.
Update the PR description. Remove the sections "Nodewright CR absent fails fast", "Gang-scheduling on the shared run model", and "Submission pre-flights", the related rollout notes, and the training-recipe review note. Remove the matching items from the Status and Testing sections.
Rerun the tests for validators/deployment, validators/conformance, pkg/cli, pkg/client/v1, pkg/evidence/cncf, and pkg/validator/..., and rerun bash tests/uat/kind/skip-checks_test.sh. Re-measure the coverage figures after the removal.

Remove the stale no-imagePullSecrets instruction from the driver-runtime probe section.
The sentence at lines 1594-1597 says the probe pod has no imagePullSecrets and that credentials must be configured node-side. The propagation text in the same section says named --image-pull-secret Secrets are copied into the per-run namespace and attached to the probe pods. The probe pod builders in validators/conformance/secure_access_check.go set ImagePullSecrets from those copies. A reader gets two incompatible instructions.

pkg/evidence/cncf/aggregate.go:79-88 Minor · Security & Privacy · Quick win
Do not embed the raw result-contract stamp in observation-only reasons.
observationOnlyReason writes the unrecognized resultSchema value into the requirement reason. scrubAggregate passes that reason through TextScrubber.Scrub, which only masks node names, IDs, addresses, and JWTs. Arbitrary text survives that scrub. The rows built from this copy are written to README.md and PRODUCT.yaml. The attestation path drops unknown stamps through the closed-set allowlistExtra, but the submission path never calls that function.
Use a fixed reason for an unrecognized stamp, or check the stamp against the same closed set that redact uses before embedding it. The existing aggregate_test.go case that expects the raw "2" in the reason must change with this fix.

issue (non-blocking): A served Nodewright CRD with no CR yet now fails the poll at once, but the CRs come from a separate component that GitOps deployers apply in a later wave.
The comment says deployers apply the CRs "with the operator", but they ship in the manifest-only nodewright-customizations component (recipes/registry.yaml:464), which Argo CD syncs in a later wave; a CRD not yet served is still waited on (:812-816). No user doc says validate must start after the GitOps sync completes (docs/user/validation.md has no sync guidance), so aicr validate started right after an Argo CD or Flux push fails at once instead of waiting.
Wait for a missing CR the same way as a missing CRD (or for a short grace period before treating it as terminal), or document in docs/user/validation.md that validation must start after the GitOps sync completes. Either way, correct the comment's premise about where the CRs come from.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Agreed on the premise: the CRs ship in nodewright-customizations, which GitOps deployers sync in a later wave. The fail-now behaviour stays, since a poll of any length only masks a sync gap it cannot bound. 703a61f corrects the comment and adds a paragraph to docs/user/validation.md after the 'When to validate' table: under Argo CD, Flux or Fleet, start the deployment phase after every wave has synced, because a declared Nodewright CR that is absent fails expected-resources immediately.
A validator result is credited only from output the orchestrator read: an exit-0 result whose pod logs cannot be read (after one retry) reports other with 'result output unavailable', never passed. Every validator image stamps resultSchema on each result, and the CNCF aggregation refuses to credit a pass of a check it knows to be observation-only when the stamp is absent. The extra keys the readers consume live once in pkg/validator/ctrf. Conformance checks copy the --image-pull-secret Secrets into their per-run namespaces and attach them to probe pods, and a probe whose RuntimeClass handler is missing fails within seconds from the FailedCreatePodSandBox event. The kind-sim lane skips driver-runtime-management.

A pod log line longer than the scanner buffer failed the whole read, which the orchestrator then credited as a clean pass; the read now drains the stream in chunks. SkipWithReason fails the check when its skipReason code cannot be written, since the aggregation reads that code as the NOT TESTED reason. The kind-sim lane's skip-list prose is corrected.

Before any validator Job runs, a submission run compares the recipe's conformance checks with the proof paths the selected checklist expects for every applicable MUST (alternative paths and notApplicable respected) and refuses with the missing checks named; a plain conformance run logs the gaps and proceeds.

With the snapshot in hand and before any validator Job, a submission run requires the cluster's Kubernetes minor to match a carried checklist exactly unless spec.validate.evidence.cncf.conformanceVersion names one; the CLI and the Go CollectCNCFEvidence path (new CNCFCollectOptions.ConformanceVersion) both run it, the write keeps its own refusal as the backstop, and the submission README records a checklist that was selected explicitly.

The gang-scheduling check joins the shared per-run model: a 128-bit token names its namespace, PodGroups and pods, the namespace carries the ownership label the GPU test namespaces carry, and a namespace that could not be deleted fails an otherwise passing run instead of being recorded as an artifact only.

Observation-only checks are never credited as demonstrations whatever the result-contract stamp says, with the reason naming the stamp; the SDK submission run gets the recipe coverage pre-flight and the explicit checklist in its upfront checks; the gang-scheduling probe pods carry the forwarded pull Secrets and the namespace deletion is confirmed; a stale sandbox event cannot fail a started pod; skip reasons fail closed on every check; the unreadable-output message reports the attempts made; the validator guide and submission docs follow.

…TrainJob workloads
cluster-autoscaling copies the forwarded Secrets into its per-run namespace before creating its Deployment and sets imagePullSecrets on the pod template, failing closed on a copy failure like the other checks. robust-controller's TrainJob reaches its node pod template through a spec.runtimePatches entry (Trainer v2.2 PodSpecPatch.imagePullSecrets), added only when Secrets were forwarded so the bare TrainJob stays the design otherwise. Both builders join TestProbePodsCarryImagePullSecrets.

The comments said crediting is refused only when the result lacks the result-contract stamp, but checkResult reads every unmarked pass of an observation-only check as observed and uses the stamp only to word the reason.

…o validate
The fast-fail comment said every deployer applies the CRs with the operator; they ship in the manifest-only nodewright-customizations component, which the GitOps deployers sync in a later wave, so a run started mid-sync can see the CRD served and the CRs absent. The comment names that premise, and the validation guide tells GitOps users to start the deployment phase after every wave has synced because a declared Nodewright CR that is absent fails the phase at once. The fail-now behaviour is unchanged: a poll would mask a sync gap.

Rebased onto main 0cf4a65 (gate-required: the branch was behind) and appended five commits for this review round. Old head 23b2659, new head c1365d8; the previously reviewed content replays unchanged (the diff against main is identical before and after the rebase).
In a Run:ai Project namespace the check does not own, cleanup deleted
its test pods and PodGroups best-effort and returned success without
looking, so a delete refused by RBAC, an API error or a finalizer left
them behind under a passing check, with the negative-phase pods Pending
against the Project's quota. No namespace delete follows there to
subsume those deletes, and tools/cleanup does not sweep the namespace.
Confirm by name that the run's pods and PodGroups are gone and fail a
passing run when any remains that is not already Terminating, as NVIDIA#3708
does for a leaked per-run namespace. The cleanup artifact and the
verdict message no longer describe a Project namespace residue as a
namespace deletion failure.

Summary
A validator result is credited only from output the orchestrator actually read, every validator image stamps the result contract it speaks and a check known to be observation-only is never credited as a demonstration, the conformance probe checks copy
--image-pull-secretinto their per-run namespaces and fail within seconds on a RuntimeClass whose handler the node does not serve, and a submission run is refused before any validator Job when the cluster's Kubernetes minor has no carried checklist or the recipe cannot establish an applicable MUST.Motivation / Context
Deployer.ExtractResultkept exit code 0 with an emptyExtrawhen the pod logs could not be read, so every structured marker a check emitted (skipReason, the coverage counts,observationOnlysince #3689) was lost and an observation-onlycluster-autoscalingpass renderedPASSED, the false claim #3681 set out to prevent. The same gap opened on marker version skew between CLI and image and on a single over-long log line (thebufio.Scannerread failed as a whole); the per-run probe namespaces ignored--image-pull-secretand waited out their full pod timeout on a missing RuntimeClass handler; and a submission against an uncarried Kubernetes minor or a recipe that cannot establish a MUST ran every check before failing on the verdict.Fixes: #3703

The copies die with the namespace.validators/performancekeeps its own pod-spec-based copy (ensureWorkloadPullSecrets); unifying the two is a follow-up. An adopted namespace's existing copy is refreshed without re-checking its run label: the 128-bit name token already proves ownership.Missing RuntimeClass handler fails fast. A pod whose handler the node does not serve stays
Pending/ContainerCreatingwith no status change, so a pod watch alone waits out the timeout.waitForTerminalPodWithinlists the pod'sFailedCreatePodSandBoxevents on each iteration and watches them beside the pod watch (consumeWatchEventsselects on both);sandboxCreateFailureclassifies only the terminal messages (no runtime for,failed to get sandbox runtime,runtime handler,binary not installed(containerd's missing-shim message),executable file not found, the last scoped to this event reason so a missing CNI binary would read the same way), so a transient network-setup failure with the same reason does not fail the probe, and an event is ignored once the pod has progressed past sandbox creation (podAwaitingSandbox). An event watch that cannot be opened leaves the pod watch in charge. The cordoned/NotReady node case needs node state, not pod events, and is left for a follow-up.kind-sim skip list.
driver-runtime-managementjoinstests/uat/kind/tests/h100-training-slurm-config.yamlwith the header's count moved from seven to eight and the stale pod-autoscaling and measurement prose corrected;skip-checks_test.shguards the new count. On this Slurm recipe the check self-skips before reaching the simulated devices, so the entry records the lane's reason rather than an in-pod skip. No embedded overlay declaresworkload-sandboxing, so it is not listed.Submission pre-flights (review additions). Once the snapshot is loaded or captured and before any validator Job, a submission run runs two checks, in the CLI (
cncfSubmissionPreflight,cncfRecipeCoveragePreflight) and in the GorunCNCFSubmissionbetweenCollectSnapshotandValidateState: the cluster's Kubernetes minor must match a carried checklist exactly (ValidateCNCFSubmissionOptions; 1.34 and 1.38 are refused alike, a submission certifies one minor) unlessspec.validate.evidence.cncf.conformanceVersion/CNCFCollectOptions.ConformanceVersionnames one, which is then carried into the write and recorded in the submission README as selected explicitly, with #3701's write-time refusal kept as the backstop; and the recipe'svalidation.conformance.checksmust declare a complete proof path for every applicable MUST (cncf.RecipeCoverageGaps/ValidateRecipeCoverage, honouringalternativeProofsandnotApplicable; facadeClient.ValidateCNCFRecipeCoverage). A plain conformance run, and the pages render in the SDK, log the gaps and proceed.CollectCNCFEvidencealso forwardsConformanceVersioninto its upfront option checks, so an uncarried override is refused before the snapshot. Note for reviewers: the embedded training recipes declare neitherinference-gatewaynorrobust-controller, so a submission run of a training recipe is now refused up front with those two named, where before it ran every check and failed on the verdict with the same two requirements not tested. The pages render keeps its nearest-checklist fallback with a warning.Gang-scheduling on the shared run model. A 128-bit token names its namespace, PodGroups and pods, the namespace carries the ownership label the GPU test namespaces carry, the member pods carry the copied pull Secrets, cleanup confirms the namespace is gone within the budget (a deletion the apiserver accepted that is still Terminating is logged, not failed, as for the GPU test namespaces), and a namespace that could not be deleted fails an otherwise passing run (
failOnGangCleanup) instead of being recorded as an artifact only.Nodewright CR absent fails fast.
expected-resourcesends its readiness wait at once withNotFoundwhen a Nodewright CR the recipe declares does not exist on the cluster (terminalProbeErrorthroughpollUntilStable), naming the absent CR, instead of polling the whole budget and leaving the chainsaw asserts unevaluated; CRs that exist keep being waited on. The contract is "declared CR absent = deployment incomplete, fail now": the CRs ship in the manifest-onlynodewright-customizationscomponent, which GitOps deployers sync in a later wave than the operator, sodocs/user/validation.mdstates that under Argo CD, Flux or Fleet the deployment phase starts after every wave has synced; a poll of any length would only mask a sync gap it cannot bound.Out of scope, deliberately: any check's verdict logic, the renderer templates, the #3704 and #3705 items, the sandbox runtime decision, the cordoned/NotReady fast-fail case, and unifying the performance checks' pull-secret copy with the conformance helper.
