Changes

The pull request adds optional Watchtower configuration and status to the v2 API and CRDs. It adds webhook defaulting and validation, controller reconciliation for the application and RBAC, Gateway API and Ingress routing, cleanup handling, and comprehensive tests.

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to 95078

This change adds Watchtower reconciliation and permissions, but the current head grants its service account cluster-wide write access to all WeightsAndBiases resources and can block the main installation reconciliation when configuration is incomplete; the new webhook tests also fail because their fixture omits a required version. Merge should wait for these security, availability, and test-readiness issues to be fixed.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not fail the whole reconcile when Watchtower reconciliation fails.

reconcileWatchtower returns an error when it cannot derive spec.watchtower.authService from the manifest (internal/controller/reconciler/watchtower.go Line 263). This call sits ahead of every other step, so a single missing /oidc ingress path in the manifest aborts ReconcileWandbManifest before secrets, migrations, applications, and the Ready condition update. An optional admin UI then blocks the entire W&B install, which is the opposite of the intent stated in the comment.

Treat Watchtower as best-effort: log the failure, surface it in status.watchtowerStatus, and continue reconciliation.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Scope the write verbs on weightsandbiases to the install's namespace.

The ClusterRole grants update and patch on weightsandbiases and is bound with a ClusterRoleBinding. The Watchtower ServiceAccount can therefore mutate every WeightsAndBiases custom resource in every namespace, not only the install it manages. Anyone who reaches the Watchtower UI inherits that reach.

Split the permissions: keep the cluster-wide read-only rules in the ClusterRole, and grant update/patch on weightsandbiases through a namespaced Role and RoleBinding in wandb.Namespace.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win

Set spec.wandb.version in the fixture; the suite fails without it.

The pipeline reports that ValidateCreate rejects the custom resource because spec.wandb.version is required and must be pinned to a published server version. This breaks the two specs that expect no error (Line 126 and Line 135). The other specs still pass, but only because their substring match happens to be checked against an error list that also contains the version error, so they do not prove the Watchtower rules fired.

Fix the shared fixture so every spec validates only the Watchtower rules.

🐛 Proposed fix for the fixture
 	newWandb := func(watchtower apiv2.WatchtowerSpec) *apiv2.WeightsAndBiases {
 		return &apiv2.WeightsAndBiases{
 			ObjectMeta: metav1.ObjectMeta{Name: "test-wandb", Namespace: "test-namespace"},
 			Spec: apiv2.WeightsAndBiasesSpec{
-				Wandb:      apiv2.WandbAppSpec{Hostname: "https://wandb.example.com"},
+				Wandb: apiv2.WandbAppSpec{
+					Hostname: "https://wandb.example.com",
+					Version:  "<pinned published server version>",
+				},
 				Watchtower: watchtower,
 			},
 		}
 	}

Use the same pinned version that other webhook specs in this package use.
