WalkthroughThe upgrade test now separates the ideal CVO acknowledgment duration from the maximum polling timeout. It reports acknowledgments beyond the ideal threshold as flaky when they remain within the maximum, and fails when they exceed the platform-specific timeout. ChangesCVO acknowledgment timeout handling
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Change: Bug fix Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to The upgrade acknowledgment test change cannot build as written because the new timeout constant is spelled differently where it is declared and where it is used, which would break the test build. In addition, acknowledgments that succeed slower than the ideal two minutes are still reported as fully passing, so the intended visibility into slow acknowledgments would not be achieved. Both should be corrected before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 14 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

But again, even raising the activeDeadlineSeconds threshold there isn't going to resolve the auth issue. This pull request addresses visibility on this issue by raising the observation timeout from the fatal threshold to a larger 20m cap. The fatal thresholds are not changing, but now, when a metal run hits 10m, instead of immediately failing, we watch out the remainder of the 20m cap, and then report the amount of time we actually too (or whether we also overran the 20m cap). That way, it's easier for someone to see what they'd need to bump the fatal per-platform cap too if they wanted to happy-up the job. Or that bumping the fatal per-platform cap is useless, and instead they need to dig in, identify something like the auth error, and get the registry-auth situation fixed.

Fix the timeout constant name.
Line 92 declares maxiumumCVOUpdateAckTimeout, but Line 524 uses maximumCVOUpdateAckTimeout. The package will not compile because the referenced identifier is undefined.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Evaluate slow acknowledgments after successful polling.
wait.PollImmediate returns nil when CVO acknowledges after two minutes but before the 20-minute maximum. This code then skips the duration checks and returns nil, false, so delayed acknowledgments are not recorded as flaky. The error path only runs after the maximum timeout, so it cannot classify a successful slow acknowledgment.
Move the elapsed-time classification after PollImmediate returns. Preserve polling errors as failures.
