  • The sibling APIs lack PrincipalSpec.HA and PrincipalHASpec, so API parity requires a sibling PR. [::argoproj-labs/argocd-operator::api/v1alpha1/argocd_types.go:1247-1291] [::argoproj-labs/argocd-operator::api/v1beta1/argocd_types.go:1443-1493]
  • Principal deployment ports remain static; no HA admin port is exposed. [::argoproj-labs/argocd-operator::controllers/argocdagent/deployment.go:154-180]
  • The NetworkPolicy permits only the existing five principal ports, without an HA admin port. [::argoproj-labs/argocd-operator::controllers/argocdagent/networkpolicy.go:105-120]
  • Its E2E namespace list omits argocd-agent-principal-ha-1-137. [::argoproj-labs/argocd-operator::Makefile:223-224]

A sibling PR is needed for Principal HA support parity across both operators.

No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added active/passive high availability configuration for the Argo CD Agent principal, including primary and replica roles, peer settings, replication-client controls, and an administrative endpoint.
    • When HA is enabled, the operator configures the admin port and network access. The admin port defaults to 8405, the replication timeout to 5 minutes, and replica configurations require a peer address.
    • HA settings are supported in both Argo CD resource API versions. The operator does not create an HA admin Service.
  • Documentation
    • Added a guide covering HA setup, configuration options, prerequisites, and status checks.

The change adds active/passive HA configuration for the Argo CD Agent principal to both API versions. The operator applies these settings to principal deployments and NetworkPolicies. The change also adds schema, conversion, deep-copy, test, and documentation support.

Changes: Argo CD Agent Principal HA

Layer / File(s) Summary
HA API contract and version support
argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_types.go, argocd-operator/api/v1beta1/argocd_types.go, config/crd/bases/argoproj.io_argocds.yaml, bundle/manifests/argoproj.io_argocds.yaml, argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_conversion.go, argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_conversion_test.go, argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_types_test.go, argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go, argocd-operator/api/v1beta1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go
Both API versions and CRD schemas add principal HA settings. Validation requires a peer address when HA is enabled and the preferred role is replica. Conversion and deep-copy support cover the added fields.
Deployment and NetworkPolicy reconciliation
argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/deployment.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/deployment_test.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/networkpolicy.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/networkpolicy_test.go
When HA is enabled, reconciliation adds HA environment variables and an admin container port, using configured values or defaults. NetworkPolicy allows the admin port. Tests cover enabled and disabled configurations.
Validation and usage guide
test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/sequential/1-137_validate_argocd_agent_principal_ha_test.go, docs/usage/ha/argocd-agent-principal.md, mkdocs.yml, Makefile
The end-to-end test checks primary and replica configurations, port updates, and removal of HA settings when HA is disabled. The guide documents configuration and status checks, MkDocs navigation links to it, and the Makefile adds the test namespace.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Explanation

The title 'feat: support argocd-agent HA principal in operator' matches the changeset. The diff adds HA configuration for the argocd-agent principal to the operator. This covers the API types, conversion, deployment env vars and ports, network policy, CRDs, docs, and tests. The title is short, specific, and names the main change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is mostly the unfilled template: it contains a 'Assisted by: Cursor' line, unchecked acceptance criteria, and placeholder comments. It does not describe the change. It does relate to the PR through the documentation, unit-test, and E2E-test checkboxes and the /kind labels. The check is lenient, so the description is related to the changeset and passes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 11.11% 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 27 functions across 12 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

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

115-121: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Consider consolidating HA admin-port resolution.

buildPorts, buildPrincipalNetworkPolicySpec, and getPrincipalHAAdminPort currently use identical semantics. This is an optional maintainability improvement, not a current correctness issue.

Review comments at @argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/deployment.go:
- Around line 193-197: Constrain explicit HA.AdminPort values to the valid
1–65535 range by adding minimum and maximum validation to AdminPort in both
PrincipalHASpec API-version definitions. Regenerate the CRD and bundle manifests
so installed schemas enforce the same bounds.

Review comments at @config/crd/bases/argoproj.io_argocds.yaml:
- Around line 967-969: Update the XValidation rule on PrincipalHASpec in both
v1alpha1 and v1beta1 to guard access to preferredRole with has(), allowing ha:
{enabled: true} when preferredRole is absent while retaining the peerAddress
requirement when preferredRole is replica. Regenerate the CRD and bundle
manifests, and add a test confirming that configuration is accepted.

Review comments at @docs/usage/ha/argocd-agent-principal.md:
- Around line 89-91: Update the HA admin documentation to state that the
operator opens the port configured by `adminPort`, which defaults to `8405`. In
the example Service and `argocd-agentctl` command, use the same configured value
for the Service `port`, `targetPort`, and `--address` flag.
