Ex:

spec:
  argoCDAgent:
    principal:
      selfRegistration:
        enabled: true
        clientCertSecretName: argocd-agent-shared-client-cert

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Configure labels for cluster Secrets created through agent principal self-registration.
- Multiple key-value pairs are supported, and label changes are reflected in the agent’s configuration.
- The setting is available in both supported Argo CD API versions, and values are preserved when converting between them.
- Labels are sent in a consistent, sorted order; when no labels are configured, the agent receives an empty value.

Principal self-registration now accepts cluster-secret labels in both API versions. The operator converts these labels into a sorted, comma-separated environment variable for the principal deployment. Test timeouts also increase.

Changes: Principal self-registration cluster labels

Layer / File(s)	Summary
API contract, conversion, and CRD schemas `argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_types.go`, `argocd-operator/api/v1beta1/argocd_types.go`, `argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_conversion.go`, `argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_conversion_test.go`, `argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go`, `argocd-operator/api/v1beta1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go`, `config/crd/bases/argoproj.io_argocds.yaml`, `bundle/manifests/argoproj.io_argocds.yaml`	Both API versions add the optional `clusterSecretLabels` map to principal self-registration. Conversion and deep-copy methods preserve the map. The CRD schemas include the field, and conversion tests cover both directions.
Deployment environment and validation `argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/deployment.go`, `argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/deployment_test.go`, `test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/sequential/1-051_validate_argocd_agent_principal_test.go`	The principal deployment environment includes configured labels as sorted, comma-separated `key=value` pairs, or an empty value when labels are absent. Unit and end-to-end tests cover configured labels and updates.

Test timeout updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Go and Ginkgo test timeouts `Makefile`	The Go test timeout increases from one to two hours. OpenShift and XKS sequential timeouts increase from 270 to 360 minutes. OpenShift and XKS parallel timeouts increase from 60 to 120 minutes.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title states the main change: adding support for custom labels on the self-registration cluster secret. The changeset adds a clusterSecretLabels field to the v1alpha1 and v1beta1 APIs, updates conversion, deepcopy, CRDs, the principal deployment env var, and tests. The title is short, specific, and accurate.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the purpose: adding custom labels to the self-registration cluster secret in the ArgoCD CR. It gives a YAML example using the clusterSecretLabels field, which matches the changeset. It also links the upstream argocd-agent change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 25.00% which is insufficient. 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 8 functions across 9 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win

Validate clusterSecretLabels before passing it to the agent.

The CRD accepts invalid Kubernetes label keys and values. The operator serializes them without validation, and the pinned agent copies them into Secret metadata. When an agent authenticates, Kubernetes can reject the Secret create or update, which makes self-registration fail.

Use Kubernetes label validation before emitting ARGOCD_PRINCIPAL_SELF_REGISTRATION_SECRET_LABELS. Also reject empty values because the pinned agent parser rejects them.
