NO-ISSUE: add per-scenario PSA compliance audit

[grokspawn]

Leverages the psa audit toolkit provided in openshift/release#84940 and exercises it per-scenario as a termination step IFF the environment exists.
Please see the release issue for details.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Added automated Pod Security Admission checks for test namespaces before project cleanup.
  • Test failures now include audit errors when required checks fail.
  • Audit results are saved as artifacts for troubleshooting.
  • Checks are skipped when the audit tool or namespace is unavailable, unless explicitly required.

Pipeline controller notification
This repo is configured to use the pipeline controller. Second-stage tests will be triggered either automatically or after lgtm label is added, depending on the repository configuration. The pipeline controller will automatically detect which contexts are required and will utilize /test Prow commands to trigger the second stage.

For optional jobs, comment /test ? to see a list of all defined jobs. To trigger manually all jobs from second stage use /pipeline required command.

Walkthrough

Changes

PSA audit integration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
PSA audit execution and artifact handling tests-extension/test/qe/util/psa.go, tests-extension/test/qe/util/psa_test.go	Adds restricted-level PSA checking, optional enforcement, JSON artifact output, namespace path sanitization, and sanitization tests.
Cleanup callback integration tests-extension/test/qe/util/client.go, tests-extension/test/qe/util/psa.go	Registers AuditAndTeardownProject as the Ginkgo cleanup callback. The callback audits the namespace before teardown and fails the test when the audit returns an error.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0b694

The cleanup audit can invoke an external PSA checker without a deadline; if it hangs, test cleanup may stall and projects may remain undeleted. Bounded cancellation is needed before merging.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

The new per-scenario audit runs psa-check against the cluster, but psa.go:48 creates it with exec.CommandContext(context.Background(), ...). No deadline or cancellation timeout exists before cmd.Run() at line 63. The changed AfterEach registrations in client.go now run this command for affected Ginkgo scenarios, so a hung checker or cluster request can hang teardown indefinitely. The added unit test covers one behavior, creates no resources, and has a meaningful failure message.

Resolution

Run the PSA checker with a bounded context, such as context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), psaCheckTimeout), defer its cancellation, and use that context in exec.CommandContext. Select a timeout appropriate for the audit or make it explicitly configurable with a bounded default.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

FAIL: The new failure path logs untrusted, data-bearing PSA output. auditPSA combines the checker stdout and stderr into an error at psa.go:81-91, and AuditAndTeardownProject passes that complete error to g.Fail at psa.go:24. The pinned cluster-debug-tools PSA checker serializes a PodSecurityViolation containing the full corev1.Pod and pod controllers when violations exist. Kubernetes pod JSON can contain literal EnvVar.Value values, annotations, image references, and host data. Therefore a failing audit can expose passwords, tokens, internal hostnames, or customer data in Ginkgo and JUnit failure reports. The code also writes the raw stdout and stderr to artifact files at psa.go:65-74. The PR changes both CLI constructors to activate this path.

Resolution

Do not pass raw PSA stdout or stderr to g.Fail or any log/report. Return a fixed failure summary with only the namespace, exit status, and a count or allowlisted violation names. If artifacts are required, parse the JSON and write only an allowlisted, redacted schema; do not write the full Pod or controller objects, and do not persist raw stderr without equivalent redaction.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Bound the PSA checker execution.

Line 48 passes context.Background() to exec.CommandContext. That context cannot expire or be canceled. If the checker blocks, cmd.Run() blocks the AfterEach callback and TeardownProject does not start. Use a context with a deadline and cancel it after Run returns.

As per path instructions, use “context.Context for cancellation and timeouts”.
