Stack 1 of 3. Base main. Followed by #306 (runner Pod post-mortem) and #307 (single comment classifier).

Problem

The runner Pod's CPU, memory and ephemeral-storage requests and limits were hardcoded in src/k8s/workflow-runner-spawner.ts and restated as CEL literals in examples/workflow-runner-admission.yaml. Raising a limit meant editing two files that silently disagree until every runner Pod is denied by the admission boundary.

Change

Six new env vars drive both sides:

Variable Default
WORKFLOW_RUNNER_CPU_REQUEST 500m
WORKFLOW_RUNNER_MEMORY_REQUEST 1Gi
WORKFLOW_RUNNER_STORAGE_REQUEST 2Gi
WORKFLOW_RUNNER_CPU_LIMIT 2
WORKFLOW_RUNNER_MEMORY_LIMIT 4Gi
WORKFLOW_RUNNER_STORAGE_LIMIT 10Gi

Defaults are the previous literals, so an existing deployment sees no change.

The admission policy now reads the same six quantities from its params ConfigMap instead of hardcoding them, and scripts/test-workflow-runner-admission.ts substitutes them from the spawner's exported constants. A placeholder added without a matching substitution fails the manifest rather than the assertion, which is how the two node placeholders previously went unnoticed.

Why the grammar is narrower than Kubernetes

CPU as whole cores or millicores, memory and storage as Mi or Gi, canonical spellings only. 4G, 1.5, 512Ki, 8192Mi and 2000m are all rejected at startup.

The API server re-serializes a quantity with the largest suffix that loses no precision, so it returns 8Gi for 8192Mi and 2 for 2000m, while buildWorkflowRunnerPod's boundary check compares the created Pod's resource strings byte for byte. A non-canonical spelling would therefore fail on every attempt with a message about Pod identity rather than about the variable that caused it. A request above its matching limit is rejected for the same reason: the API server's own refusal names neither variable.

Verification

  • bun run typecheck, bun run lint: clean
  • bun test test/config.test.ts test/k8s/workflow-runner-spawner.test.ts: 133 pass
  • bun run test:admission (kind, Kubernetes 1.30, real ValidatingAdmissionPolicy): passed
  • check:env-contract, check:docs-citations, check:docs-versions, check:config-schema, check:no-em-dashes: pass

Operator note

runnerCpuRequest, runnerMemoryRequest, runnerStorageRequest, runnerCpuLimit, runnerMemoryLimit and runnerStorageLimit must be added to the runner boundary ConfigMap with the controller's matching values. The policy also compares runnerStorageLimit against the workspace emptyDir sizeLimit, so both sides move together or every runner Pod is denied. Documented in docs/operate/deployment.md.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds six workflow-runner resource settings with canonical quantity validation and request-limit checks. The spawner, admission policy, environment contract, tests, and deployment documentation now use these settings.

Changes

Workflow runner resource configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resource configuration and validation
src/config.ts, env-contract.json, test/config.test.ts, docs/operate/configuration.md
The configuration schema loads six CPU, memory, and storage settings. It validates canonical quantities and ensures requests do not exceed limits. Tests and documentation cover the new settings.
Spawner and admission synchronization
src/k8s/workflow-runner-spawner.ts, examples/workflow-runner-admission.yaml, scripts/test-workflow-runner-admission.ts, test/k8s/workflow-runner-spawner.test.ts, docs/operate/deployment.md
The spawner and admission policy use matching configured resources. The admission harness substitutes the configured values, and integration tests verify Pod resources and workspace storage limits.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to deba1

Workflow-runner storage limits are configurable, but one deployment documentation passage still presents 10 GiB as fixed. This could lead operators to misconfigure the matching workspace and admission-policy values; update the wording before merge.

raising a limit meant editing two files that silently disagree until every

Six new env vars drive both sides. The spawner reads them from config, and the

The accepted grammar is narrower than Kubernetes on purpose: CPU as whole cores
or millicores, memory and storage as Mi or Gi, canonical spellings only. The API
server re-serializes `8192Mi` as `8Gi`, and the spawner's boundary check
compares the returned strings byte for byte, so a non-canonical value would
terminalize every attempt with a message about Pod identity. A request above its

…e exactly

Three review findings on the runner quantity validator.

The canonicality check only refined values ending in `m`, so
`WORKFLOW_RUNNER_CPU_LIMIT=1000` passed. Kubernetes formats a suffixless
decimal quantity with an exponent that is a multiple of three, so it stores
`1000` as `1k`, and the spawner's byte-for-byte Pod comparison would then fail
on every attempt naming Pod identity rather than the variable. The check is now
Kubernetes' own test, verbatim: reject a digit run ending in `000`
(apimachinery `pkg/api/resource/quantity.go`, `ParseQuantity`). One rule covers
both suffixes, and a string test has no numeric range to overflow.

Ordering comparisons and the byte canonicality check now use `BigInt`. Under
`Number` a request of `9007199254740993m` and a limit of `9007199254740992m`
compare equal, so the schema accepted a request above its limit.

Both parsers return null on a value that does not match the shape, and the byte
refine guards on the same. zod runs a field's `refine` and the object's
`superRefine` even after the field's `regex` failed, so an unguarded `BigInt`
would throw during config load where `Number` merely yielded NaN. Skipping the
pair also drops a pre-existing spurious issue: `WORKFLOW_RUNNER_CPU_REQUEST=abc`
used to report both a shape error and an ordering error naming a variable the
operator never set wrong.

The ordering pairs are objects rather than six-element tuples whose first
element was discarded by the destructuring.

Docs: the deployment capacity table and the runner Pod paragraph both still
described these resources as fixed values living in the spawner.

Update the hard-coded runner storage values.

This sentence still says every isolated runner uses a 10 GiB emptyDir and a 10 GiB ephemeral-storage limit. These values are now configurable through WORKFLOW_RUNNER_STORAGE_LIMIT. Reword the sentence to identify 10 GiB as the default and refer to the configured value.

Proposed fix
-Each isolated runner gets one 10 GiB `emptyDir` mounted at `/tmp/bot-workspaces`. The clone and artifacts disappear with the Pod. Keep both the volume limit and the container's 10 GiB ephemeral-storage limit because they cover different accounting surfaces, but do not treat either as a filesystem quota.

bot workflow review, succeeded

🔍 Code review complete, 9 files, +357/-21.

Summary

Reviewed all 9 files of feat/runner-resource-config (2 commits, +357/-21) against origin/main, which the branch is already up to date with (0 behind, no rebase). The change replaces hardcoded runner Pod quantities in src/k8s/workflow-runner-spawner.ts and CEL literals in examples/workflow-runner-admission.yaml with six env vars that drive both sides through the boundary params ConfigMap. The core of the change is sound: the Kubernetes canonicality reasoning is correct, the BigInt comparisons are exact, the policy has no quantity literals left, and the params ConfigMap key count matches the new size(params.data) == 19 assertion. Two minor findings, both about consistency between a stated invariant and what actually happens: a spurious second validation issue for non-canonical quantities, and a fail-closed ConfigMap migration for existing 1.17.x installs with no signal in the released artifact. Nothing blocking.

What was checked

  • git diff origin/main...HEAD in full, then read every changed file in context: src/config.ts (new CPU_SHAPE/BYTE_SHAPE helpers at 102-170, schema fields 592-598, validateRunnerResourceOrdering 1084-1138, loadConfig wiring 1336-1341), src/k8s/workflow-runner-spawner.ts (constants 29-36, emptyDir 271, resources 306-318, plus the unchanged podBoundary 455-540 and validateExistingPod 547-566 that the whole canonicality argument rests on), examples/workflow-runner-admission.yaml, scripts/test-workflow-runner-admission.ts, both test files, env-contract.json, and both docs.
  • Cross-references: every importer of the spawner module (src/orchestrator/workflow-runner-{dispatch,resources,reconciler}.ts, three test files that mock.module it, and the admission harness's two dynamic imports); every remaining occurrence of 10Gi / 4Gi / 500m / 2Gi in the repo; .env.example (contains no WORKFLOW_RUNNER_NODE_* either, so the omission is consistent); the boundary ConfigMap RBAC posture in docs/operate/deployment.md:430.
  • Confirmed podBoundary includes both spec.volumes (so the emptyDir sizeLimit) and per-container resources.requests/limits, which is what makes the byte-for-byte round-trip argument load-bearing.
  • Counted the example ConfigMap's data keys: exactly 19, matching the bumped assertion at examples/workflow-runner-admission.yaml:188.
  • Validation run locally after bun install --frozen-lockfile: bun run typecheck clean; bun run lint 0 errors (623 pre-existing warnings); bun test test/config.test.ts test/k8s/workflow-runner-spawner.test.ts 138 pass / 0 fail; check:env-contract, check:config-schema, check:docs-citations, check:docs-versions, check:docs-sync, check:no-em-dashes all pass.
  • Probed the schema directly with a scratch test against ~13 inputs to check the boundary behaviour rather than infer it: whitespace, 0, empty string, cross-unit ordering (2 vs 1500m), storage ordering, non-canonical shapes, and both-fields-unparseable.

Findings

[minor] src/config.ts:1130 — the ordering rule still fires a second, misleading issue for a non-canonical quantity.
The docstring at 1090 states that a field which failed its own check is skipped so the ordering rule does not add "a second, misleading issue about an ordering nobody expressed", and the request === null || limit === null guard delivers that for an unparseable value. But cpuMillis/byteMebis key off CPU_SHAPE/BYTE_SHAPE, not off the canonicality .refine, so a shape-valid value that fails only canonicality still parses and still gets compared. Verified on this branch: WORKFLOW_RUNNER_CPU_REQUEST=4000 emits both ...must be canonical... and WORKFLOW_RUNNER_CPU_REQUEST must not exceed WORKFLOW_RUNNER_CPU_LIMIT; WORKFLOW_RUNNER_MEMORY_REQUEST=8192Mi does the same against the 4Gi default. Fix: have the parse helpers also return null for a non-canonical value, and extend the rejects the non-canonical %s value %s cases at test/config.test.ts:56 to assert no must not exceed issue, which is what let this through.

[minor] examples/workflow-runner-admission.yaml:188 — existing installs need a mandatory ConfigMap migration with no signal in the released artifact.
size(params.data) moves from 13 to 19. The 13-key ConfigMap shipped in ddc92d8 and is in released 1.17.x, so with failurePolicy: Fail and parameterNotFoundAction: Deny, applying the new policy against an unmigrated ConfigMap denies every runner Pod. Step 2 at docs/operate/deployment.md:376 reads as an install step and the commit subject is a plain feat(k8s):, so the generated CHANGELOG entry carries no upgrade signal. Fix: a BREAKING CHANGE: footer or an explicit upgrade note naming the six keys, pointing at the existing ConfigMap-then-policy ordering in step 7.

Reasoning

Why the canonicality rule is right, and complete for the accepted grammar. I checked this rather than take it on trust, because the whole design rests on it. For CPU the accepted set is [1-9][0-9]* with an optional m, so the only scales in play are 0 and -3; both satisfy apimachinery's scale%3 == 0, the regex guarantees the leading digit is not 0, and the digit-run-ending-in-000 test is therefore the exact remaining condition. No accepted value is falsely rejected (1000m really does become 1, 2000 really does become 2k) and no rejected value would have round-tripped. For bytes, String() recomputes via AsCanonicalBase1024Bytes, which divides by 1024 while exact, so a Mi or Gi value is canonical precisely when its mantissa is not divisible by 1024. I walked 8Gi and 512Mi specifically because both fail apimachinery's value&0x07 != 0 cache test and are therefore recomputed: both recompute to themselves, so the refine correctly leaves them alone. 1536Mi and 1536Gi likewise.

Things that looked worth flagging and were not.

  • Boundary weakening. Moving the limits from CEL literals to params.data could have been a privilege regression, since a controller able to write its own params could raise its own ceiling. It is not: docs/operate/deployment.md:430 states the controller needs no write access to the boundary ConfigMap, policy, binding or namespace labels, and nothing in this diff grants any.
  • isQuantity availability. New to this file, but it is part of the same CEL quantity library as the quantity() calls the policy already used, and docs/operate/deployment.md:366 already pins Kubernetes 1.30+.
  • Empty-string env handling. WORKFLOW_RUNNER_MEMORY_REQUEST="" is a hard startup error rather than falling back to the default. That matches the sibling workflowRunnerNodeLabel/workflowRunnerNodeValue fields, which use .min(1).default(...), so it is the file's convention, not a divergence.
  • Zod 4 .default() short-circuiting. The defaults are not re-validated by the schema, but all six are canonical literals and the spawner test asserts the Pod carries configured values, so there is no gap.
  • Values beyond int64. WORKFLOW_RUNNER_CPU_LIMIT=99999999999999999999 is accepted by the schema and would be re-serialized by the API server as 100E, reaching the Pod-identity failure the validator exists to prevent. I did not flag it: it is nine orders of magnitude past any plausible runner Pod, and the 9007199254740993m regression test already covers the realistic precision boundary the earlier thread raised.
  • .replace() being non-global in the admission harness. Each of the six placeholders occurs once, none is a prefix of another, and the REPLACE_WITH_[A-Z_0-9]+ sweep at scripts/test-workflow-runner-admission.ts:310 fails the manifest on any leftover.
  • Harness self-consistency. Substituting the policy params from the spawner's own exported constants means the harness can no longer catch a spawner-vs-policy drift. That is the explicit point of the change (one source), and the drift it replaces was the worse failure mode, so it is not a regression.
  • src/k8s/ephemeral-daemon-spawner.ts:208 uses the non-canonical cpu: "2000m". Untouched by this PR and on a different code path with no byte-for-byte Pod boundary, so out of scope.

Round two review findings.

The ordering rule skipped a pair only when a value failed its shape check, but
`cpuMillis` and `byteMebis` keyed off the shape regexes alone, so a value that
matched the shape and failed only the canonicality refine was still compared.
`WORKFLOW_RUNNER_CPU_REQUEST=4000` therefore reported both "must be canonical"
and "must not exceed WORKFLOW_RUNNER_CPU_LIMIT" against the default limit of 2,
which is the two-error confusion the previous commit set out to remove, reached
through the other half of the validator.

Canonicality now lives in the parse helpers, so one definition of an acceptable
quantity serves both the field check and the ordering rule. They cannot
disagree, and a value either rejects is compared by neither. The skip is a
consequence of that rather than a second guard that has to be kept in step.

The non-canonical test cases now assert the absence of an ordering issue, which
is what let this through.

Docs: the isolated-runner storage paragraph still described a fixed 10 GiB
`emptyDir` and ephemeral-storage limit. Added an upgrade note for hand-installed
boundaries, because raising the policy's params check from 13 keys to 19 makes
the six new ConfigMap keys mandatory, and with `parameterNotFoundAction: Deny`
plus `failurePolicy: Fail` a ConfigMap from an earlier release denies every
runner Pod until they are added.

Round two addressed in c06a530, pushed. The two inline threads carry the detail; this covers the outside-diff-range finding, which has no thread to reply in.

docs/operate/deployment.md:259, hard-coded runner storage values. Valid, fixed. The sentence claimed every isolated runner gets "one 10 GiB emptyDir" and cited "the container's 10 GiB ephemeral-storage limit". Both now follow WORKFLOW_RUNNER_STORAGE_LIMIT, with 10 GiB named as the default. I did not take the proposed wording verbatim: it left "the container's configured ephemeral-storage limit" without saying which variable configures it, and the point of the paragraph is that the two limits are separate accounting surfaces fed by one value.

The earlier outside-diff finding on docs/operate/configuration.md:151 was fixed in deba172.

That is every outside-diff-range comment on this PR. Both were the same drift class as the in-diff documentation findings: prose asserting a fixed value that this PR made configurable.

One decision is left open rather than made, and it is deliberate. Requiring 19 boundary ConfigMap keys where released 1.17.x requires 13 is a mandatory migration for anyone who hand-applies the policy. It is documented now as an upgrade note, but a BREAKING CHANGE: footer would cut 2.0.0 for the whole application and move the chart appVersion and image tags for every consumer. That is a maintainer call, so it is flagged, not taken.
