What does this PR do?

Fixes OCPBUGS-115109 by making the pod lifecycle monitor account for external control-plane topology.

HyperShift guest containers can already be running when monitoring begins, making ContainerStart the first observed lifecycle event. The previous state machine synthesized a missing ContainerWait, which caused false kubelet-container-restarts failures. External-topology monitoring now accepts that initial observation while continuing to report missing waits for standalone clusters and later restarts.

Testing

  • GOCACHE=/tmp/origin-gocache-ocpbugs-115109 GO111MODULE=on GOWORK=off GOFLAGS=-mod=vendor go test ./pkg/monitortests/node/watchpods ./pkg/monitortests/kubelet/containerfailures

  • make verify

Release note

Fix false kubelet-container-restarts monitor failures during HyperShift guest cluster startup.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved pod lifecycle monitoring for clusters with externally managed control planes.
    • Prevented false “missed start” intervals when the first observed container event is a container start.
    • Improved accuracy of calculated wait and restart intervals across container lifecycle events.
    • Added validation to prevent interval calculations before cluster topology information is available.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for standalone and external-topology scenarios, including initial waits, exits, and restarts.

External-topology guest clusters can expose a running container before the initial waiting state. Avoid synthesizing a false ContainerWait failure for that first observation while retaining missing-wait detection after restarts.

Walkthrough

The watcher now records cluster topology initialization and detects external control-plane topology. Container lifecycle interval construction uses this state to handle a missing initial ContainerWait event.

Changes

Pod interval topology

Layer / File(s) Summary
Topology initialization and interval wiring
pkg/monitortests/node/watchpods/monitortest.go, pkg/monitortests/node/watchpods/compute_intervals.go, pkg/monitortests/node/watchpods/compute_intervals_test.go
PrepareCollection records topology initialization and external topology. ConstructComputedIntervals rejects uninitialized topology. Interval construction passes external topology to container lifecycle processing.
Container lifecycle transition handling
pkg/monitortests/node/watchpods/compute_intervals.go, pkg/monitortests/node/watchpods/compute_intervals_test.go
The transition builder tracks observed events. With external topology, an initial ContainerStart can represent the lifecycle start when the initial wait is missing. Tests cover waits, starts, exits, and restarts.

Addressed the No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs finding by returning a fixed error for infrastructure lookup failures instead of wrapping raw client-go error details. Added follow-up commit e8a2eea; focused tests, vet, and make verify pass.

Guard interval construction when topology detection fails.

The framework calls PrepareCollection before ConstructComputedIntervals, so caller ordering is correct. However, it continues after preparation errors. If the Infrastructure request fails, externalTopology remains false, and an external-topology cluster can report a false missing initial ContainerWait. Track successful topology initialization and skip or fail interval construction when preparation fails.
