What

Endpoint status extended by validity plus an active connection test, populated by a controller and exposed through the endpoints/status subresource.
Closes #442

Why

EndpointStatus was an empty struct with no subresource, so a consumer had no way to tell a good Endpoint from a bad one until an Order failed. Probe now answers the status question before an Order is ever placed.

Testing

  • make test: added new unit and integration (envtest) tests
  • Manual, against local dev-cluster, using examples/endpoint-status/ — all eight demo Endpoints reach their expected verdict, including SSRF refusal of 0.0.0.0 and a real Bearer-token rejection from ghcr.io

Notes for reviewers

API. EndpointStatus gains conditions, observedGeneration, lastProbeTime. Additive; the struct was empty. Printer columns READY/MESSAGE are derived from the conditions at table-conversion time, status deliberately stores no phase/message field, so there is one source of truth.

RBAC. New rule for endpoints/status (get;update;patch). The base endpoints rule is unchanged at get;list;watch — the reconciler's only write is Status().Update().

New watches. The controller watches Secret cluster-wide (to re-probe on credential rotation) and ArtifactType/ClusterArtifactType (so an unknown type clears itself when the type appears). The Secret watch means the manager caches Secrets it can read; narrowable with a label selector if that becomes a memory concern.

Security. The controller-manager now reads a Secret's username/password and sends them to a URL chosen by whoever wrote the Endpoint. create on endpoints must therefore be authorized as if it were get on Secrets in the same namespace. ARC previously only ever passed Secret names into workflow parameters and never read their contents. The probe refuses loopback, link-local and unspecified addresses (configurable via --probe-deny-cidrs), never follows redirects, and refuses a Bearer realm that would downgrade https to http, but egress NetworkPolicy on the controller-manager is the real boundary for where credentials may travel.

Apply configuration, OpenAPI schemas, conversions, deep-copy methods, and endpoint status permissions are updated.

Endpoint probing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guarded HTTP and authentication probes
pkg/endpointprobe/*
The new probe package checks reachability and authentication, blocks configured CIDRs, handles Bearer challenges, disables redirects, and bounds remote-derived messages.
Probe configuration
cmd/arc-controller-manager/main.go
The controller manager parses --probe-deny-cidrs and injects the configured probe.

Endpoint reconciliation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validation, probing, and status updates
pkg/controller/const.go, pkg/controller/endpoint_controller.go
The reconciler validates Secrets and ArtifactTypes, deduplicates probes, updates conditions, records probe metadata, emits Ready transition events, and watches related resources.
Controller tests
pkg/controller/endpoint_controller_test.go, pkg/controller/suite_test.go
Envtest coverage verifies validation, readiness, status preservation, probe results, and re-probe triggers.

Reporting and examples

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 78335

Endpoint status can fail to persist for hostile Bearer realms, and previously ready endpoints can remain marked ready after becoming unreachable. These should be addressed before merge.

94-96: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Consider a periodic re-probe interval.

Reconcile always returns an empty ctrl.Result, and shouldProbe gates on generation, secretRV, and forceAt only. No input changes when a remote target goes down. The Endpoint therefore keeps Reachable=True and Ready=True indefinitely after the target becomes unreachable.

LastProbeTime lets a consumer see the staleness, and the force annotation allows a manual re-probe. Neither corrects the stale Ready value on its own.

A bounded RequeueAfter combined with a lastProbeTime-based staleness check in shouldProbe keeps the idle-cluster guarantee that the shouldProbe comment describes, while re-verifying reachability at a known interval.

Also applies to: 109-109
