WalkthroughAdds an Alpha-gated ChangesHTTP01Proxy API and Kubernetes integration
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change adds an HTTP01Proxy API and programs node networking, but it can still allow conflicting configuration across namespaces, fail to remove DNAT rules during lifecycle changes, and pass unvalidated VIP data into shell commands. These issues could cause incorrect routing or unsafe command execution, so the PR should not merge until they are fixed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Make the singleton scope enforceable.
scope=Namespaced permits one default object in every namespace. The validation on Line 42 restricts only the name. The controller cache in pkg/operator/setup_manager.go Lines 242-244 watches all HTTP01Proxy objects, while this API controls cluster-level MachineConfig networking.
Make the resource cluster-scoped and regenerate the namespaced client and informer layers. If the resource must remain namespaced, enforce one trusted namespace with admission and restrict the controller cache and watches to that namespace.

controller-runtime cached client Get uncached object lazy informer List Watch RBAC permissions
💡 Result:
In controller-runtime, the default client (the delegating client) handles read operations (Get and List) by reading from a local cache rather than the API server directly [1][2]. This cache is automatically populated and maintained by background informers [1][2]. How it works: - Lazy Informer Creation: When you perform a Get or List operation on a specific resource type for the first time, controller-runtime automatically initiates a List and Watch for that GroupVersionKind (GVK) to populate and maintain the cache [3][1][2]. This is why even a single Get request can trigger requirements for broader RBAC permissions [3][1]. - RBAC Requirements: Because the client attempts to set up a watcher to keep the local cache in sync, your controller service account must have list and watch permissions for that resource [1][2]. If these permissions are missing, calls to Get or List will fail [4][3]. Bypassing the Cache: If you need to bypass the cache (e.g., to read the most current state directly from the API server or to avoid the overhead of a watcher), you have a few options: - APIReader: You can use the manager's APIReader, accessed via mgr.GetAPIReader, which performs requests directly against the API server [5][1]. - Cache.DisableFor: When configuring the manager/client, you can use the DisableFor option to specify GVKs that should never be cached [6][7][1]. Objects in this list will always be retrieved via live API lookups, and no informer will be started for them [6][1]. Note: Bypassing the cache means you will not receive event-driven triggers (reconciliations) for changes to those specific objects [1]. If you need those triggers while also wanting to avoid caching the full object, you might consider pairing direct reads with a metadata-only watch [1].

Enforce the namespace contract for HTTP01Proxy.
The namespaced CRD accepts default in any namespace, but the controller ignores objects outside cert-manager-operator. Enforce this namespace in the CRD and regenerate the bundle.

Make nftables table management idempotent.
ExecReload runs the template while crtmgr_http01_dnat already exists. The first table inet crtmgr_http01_dnat command then fails before the delete command runs.
ExecStop has the same defect. It tries to add an existing table before deletion. This can leave the DNAT table installed when the MachineConfig is removed.
Delete the existing table while ignoring only a missing-table result. Then load the rules. Add a regression test for reload and stop behavior.

Reject malformed VIPs before rendering MachineConfig.
If either selected VIP is not a strict IPv4 address, return a validation error before renderMachineConfig. The values are inserted into nftables rules, and ingressVIP is also inserted into a root bash -c command.

Check only pre-GA features in this test.
This equality also fails when a GA feature intentionally defaults to disabled. The test title requires only that pre-GA features default to disabled.
Proposed fix
- assert.Equal(t, isPreGA, !spec.Default,
- "pre-GA %q feature (prerelease=%s) should default to disabled",

| **MASQUERADE**: When the kernel forwards this DNAT'd packet to the Ingress VIP, the source IP is the external ACME server. The ingress node would try to send the response directly back to the ACME server — but the ACME server expects a response from the API VIP, not the Ingress VIP. **MASQUERADE** rewrites the source IP of the forwarded packet to the node's own IP, so the response comes back through the same node and the DNAT is "reversed" automatically by the kernel's connection tracking (conntrack) table. | ||

Preserve existing unsupported addon features.
Line 38 replaces the complete UNSUPPORTED_ADDON_FEATURES value. If another feature gate was enabled before this test, the test disables it until AfterAll runs.
Merge HTTP01Proxy=true into originalUnsupportedAddonFeatures instead of replacing the value.

Fail the test when cleanup does not complete.
AfterAll only writes subscription restore failures to GinkgoWriter. The deferred cleanup also discards the polling error. The suite can pass while the feature gate or HTTP01Proxy resource remains changed.
