What this PR does

Rule 4 of the backport batch compared CRD documents byte for byte, so a fix whose only CRD change is description text, regenerated by controller-gen from a Go comment, was held off every release line. #5223 is the live case, it was skipped on both lines, while the same rewording in an ApplicationDefinition already passed (#4974).

Now a named CRD is compared twice: as an object with the description of every schema under spec.versions[].schema.openAPIV3Schema dropped, and as text without description entries. A field called description, a printer column's description, a description inside a default or a comment still count. A CRD in a Helm template (templates/ or .tpl) with an action inside is compared by its whole text.

The policy page also said a new optional field passes rule 4. It shouldn't, and for ApplicationDefinitions it did, because the API review gate calls an added optional field additive. Rule 4 now holds back a merge that adds any field to a CRD's or an ApplicationDefinition's schema, optional or not.

Dry run on the current history without push picks #5223 onto release-1.7 and leaves it to rule 6 on release-1.6 until that batch merges. Nothing else changes category on either line.

Release note

fix(release): the backport batch takes a fix whose only CRD change is reworded description text, and holds back a fix that adds a field to an API schema, optional or not.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Behavior Changes
    • Backport batches now hold changes that add fields to API or CRD schemas, including optional fields and fields nested in objects, arrays, or map values.
    • CRD schema description-only edits generally remain eligible for backport. Template-based, unparseable, guarded, and list-contained CRDs continue to be compared as text, so description edits in those cases may be held.
  • Documentation
    • Updated backport guidance to clarify which schema additions and CRD description changes are eligible.

Rule 4 compared CRD documents byte for byte, so a fix whose only CRD
change was description text regenerated by controller-gen from a Go
comment was held off every release line, while the same rewording in an
ApplicationDefinition schema went through. A description changes
nothing the API server accepts or stores.

A named CRD is now compared twice: as an object with the descriptions
of its schemas dropped, which tells the schema keyword from a field
called description, a printer column's or one inside a default, and as
text without description entries, so a comment or any other line
outside such an entry still counts as it did. A document in a file Helm
renders as a template that holds an action keeps being compared whole,
because what the action renders is unknown; in a file a chart inserts
as written, braces in a description quoting a Go template are text.

Rule 4 took the API review gate's verdict alone for the API, and the
gate passes a new optional field as additive, so a fix that added one
to an ApplicationDefinition's schema went into patch releases. A new
field is new API whether it is optional or not, and new API waits for
the next minor.

The batch now also lists the fields each schema the gate reads
declares, at every depth the gate's own diff walks, and holds back a
merge whose schemas declare one the parent's did not. A version new to
a resource counts every field it declares.

Signed-off-by: Myasnikov Daniil <[email protected]>
The policy page told contributors that a new optional field reaches
patch releases. It does not, and the tool now holds one back, while a
change that only rewrites description text in a CRD's schema now goes
through. Readers decide whether to split a fix out of a larger pull
request by this sentence, so it has to match what the batch does.

Walkthrough

Rule 4 now holds back changes that add API fields. CRD comparisons account for schema descriptions and Helm templates. The batch rule reports sizeable API changes and added fields separately.

Changes: Rule 4 backport checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Detect added API fields
cmd/backport-batch/apisurface.go, cmd/backport-batch/rules.go, cmd/backport-batch/body.go, cmd/backport-batch/rules_test.go, cmd/backport-batch/README.md
The API gate compares resource snapshots and detects fields added at the root or nested in objects, array items, and map values. Rule reporting distinguishes added fields from sizeable API changes. Tests cover the new detection cases.
Compare CRD content
cmd/backport-batch/rules.go, cmd/backport-batch/rules_test.go, cmd/backport-batch/README.md, docs/release/*
CRD comparisons omit schema descriptions in eligible documents and retain whole text for templated documents containing template actions. Tests cover description edits and other CRD changes. The README and release documentation describe the comparison and eligibility rules.

The batch checks have narrow cases that can admit excluded schema changes or hold back eligible description-only fixes. Merging warrants owner awareness and targeted follow-up on these comparison gaps.

Explanation

The title names the main change: CRD description-only edits now enter the backport batch, and new API fields stay out. It also matches the PR objectives and the rule 4 changes in the summary. The conventional-commit prefix and the 95-character length are minor style points that do not change the assessment.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 15 functions across 4 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Review comments at @cmd/backport-batch/apisurface.go:
- Around line 236-239: Update declaredFields to traverse the schema’s
composition branches, including allOf, when collecting declared fields, so
properties added within an existing branch are checked by the API gate. Preserve
the current handling of items and additionalProperties.

Review comments at @cmd/backport-batch/rules.go:
- Around line 265-267: Update helmTemplate so parseable documents under
files/crds that contain template actions are recognized as rendered files,
including actions inside descriptions. Ensure Rule 4 compares those actions as
whole text rather than allowing description normalization to hide changes.
- Around line 436-442: Update the description-removal logic using
descriptionKeyRE so removing a list-item description preserves its dash marker;
normalize both list-item and non-list description forms so the remaining type
line compares as `- type: string` when appropriate. Leave ordinary mapping
descriptions unchanged.

Review comments at @docs/release/backport-mechanics.md:
- Line 21: Update the summary in the backport mechanics documentation to clarify
that rule 4’s CRD exclusion includes CRDs under tests/ and testdata/. State that
fixture-only fixes may enter a patch batch when no other rule holds them,
without implying all fixture CRD edits must wait.
- Line 21: Clarify the CRD description exception in the summary linked to rule 4
of Backports: state the supported description format and template limits, and
make clear that a description-only edit in a Helm template containing an action
still counts as a CRD edit and is held out of patch batches unless a maintainer
overrides it. Use the limits defined by the backport policy rather than
introducing new ones.

Include composition branches in the field check.

When an existing allOf branch gains a zone property, declaredFields misses it and the API gate does not block the edit. Rule 4 can therefore admit a field addition that the release policy excludes. Include composition branches when collecting declared fields.

Preserve actions in CRDs rendered through tpl.

If a parseable files/crds document contains a template action in a description, helmTemplate treats it as plain text. The action can emit a schema constraint, but description normalization hides the change from Rule 4. Detect these rendered files and compare their actions as whole text.

Update helmTemplate so parseable documents under files/crds that contain
template actions are recognized as rendered files, including actions inside
descriptions. Ensure Rule 4 compares those actions as whole text rather than
allowing description normalization to hide changes.

Preserve the list marker when removing a description.

When a schema list item starts with description, removing that description also removes its dash. The remaining type line then differs from - type: string, so Rule 4 holds back an otherwise eligible description-only change. Normalize the list marker in both forms.

Update the description-removal logic using descriptionKeyRE so removing a
list-item description preserves its dash marker; normalize both list-item and
non-list description forms so the remaining type line compares as `- type:
string` when appropriate. Leave ordinary mapping descriptions unchanged.

### Backporting code that touches monotonic counters

The batch never takes a change like this: rule 4 in [Backports](./backports.md) holds migrations, `targetVersion`, sizeable API changes and CRDs for the next minor. What follows is why, and what a maintainer has to do when a migration must reach a release line anyway.

Clarify the exception for fixture CRDs.

Rule 4 excludes CRDs under tests/ and testdata/ from the CRD check. A fixture-only fix can therefore enter a patch batch if no other rule holds it. Mention this exception in the summary so maintainers do not expect every fixture CRD edit to wait.

Update the summary in the backport mechanics documentation to clarify that rule
4’s CRD exclusion includes CRDs under tests/ and testdata/. State that
fixture-only fixes may enter a patch batch when no other rule holds them,
without implying all fixture CRD edits must wait.

Qualify the CRD description exception.

A description-only edit in a Helm template with an action still counts as a CRD edit. Rule 4 holds the fix out of patch batches unless a maintainer overrides it. Please mention the format and template limits in this summary.

Clarify the CRD description exception in the summary linked to rule 4 of
Backports: state the supported description format and template limits, and make
clear that a description-only edit in a Helm template containing an action still
counts as a CRD edit and is held out of patch batches unless a maintainer
overrides it. Use the limits defined by the backport policy rather than
introducing new ones.
