Why

The patched Kyverno migration image cannot be accepted yet. Its executable reports a generated pseudo-version instead of the reviewed release, and its symbols are stripped, so security scanning cannot tell which dependency code it actually reaches.

What

The build now records the reviewed release on the executable and keeps its symbols, and it fails unless both can be read back from the built file. Merging publishes a new candidate image only, so no running workload changes. The same correction for the other two held images will follow once this approach passes.

Part of #5542

Stamp the executable with the reviewed v1.19.2 release and keep its symbols,
so the build fails unless a scanner can read its true identity and reach
package-level findings.

Part of #5542

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The retained symbols let the binary scan report Kyverno v1.19.2 whole-module
records the repository already adjudicated. Accept only those exact IDs and
require a symbol-level scan, so any other advisory fails the build.

Walkthrough

The workflow now commits the verified Kyverno patch using the upstream source commit’s dates and tags it v1.19.2 in both jobs. The Docker build retains symbols and debug data, checks binary identity and metadata, and enforces a JSON-format, symbol-level vulnerability scan against an explicit advisory allowlist. The contract test checks the workflow tagging and Docker build requirements.

Possibly related issues

  • devantler-tech/platform issue 5542: The PR adds the v1.19.2 tag binding, binary identity checks, and scan rules for the migration runtime described by this issue.
  • devantler-tech/platform issue 5154: The PR enforces the same three Kyverno advisory acceptances documented by this issue.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: the migration runtime executable is bound to its release tag (v1.19.2). The changeset adds a tag step in the publish and verify jobs and a version check on the binary's embedded module version. The title is specific and scoped to Kyverno. It omits the symbol retention and the vulnerability scan gate, but those are secondary to the main point.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states why the change exists: the patched Kyverno migration image reports a pseudo-version and has stripped symbols. It states what the build now does: it records the reviewed release, keeps symbols, and fails unless both are readable. The changeset matches these points, including the Dockerfile symbol and version checks and the workflow tag step. The description is related to the changeset.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 1 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

The recorded scan level is only what was requested, so also require a
non-empty symbol list from the scanner extraction of the built binary.

An empty list passed the earlier filter, so a report the parser could not
read looked clean. Require exactly the accepted records instead.

Self-review (fallback — CodeRabbit, Codex and Cursor Bugbot unavailable)

Reviewed commit: abddb6ec280e7ac449178d9258ac3264f0191d8b

  • CodeRabbit: refused this head at 15:46Z, "Review rate limited". It reviewed the earlier head 9f413255; its one finding there is fixed and resolved.
  • Codex: usage limit since 2026-10-31T11:15Z.
  • Cursor Bugbot: no check-run on this head; last known refusal was a usage limit on 2026-10-29.

What I checked:

  • The patch still has to match the exact reviewed source tree before the commit and tag are made, in both jobs. No permission, signing identity, source commit or destination changed.
  • The build proves its identity from the executable: the module version must read exactly v1.19.2 and vcs.modified must be false. A dirty tree or a pseudo-version fails. The verify run passed at this head.
  • Symbols are kept and proved twice, with go tool nm and with a non-empty scanner extraction.
  • An earlier head of this PR could read an unparseable report as clean. I fixed that here: the findings must equal the three accepted IDs exactly, and the run log prints exactly those three.
  • Those three IDs match the repository's reviewed adjudication for Kyverno v1.19.2, which #5154 removes. The cost is that this build fails when Go corrects those records, and that is intended: the acceptance has to be removed here too.
  • Merging only publishes a new signed candidate. Nothing in the deployed manifests refers to it, so no workload changes.
  • All required checks pass at this head and every review thread is resolved. There is no runtime surface to try beyond the build itself, which runs the executable's version and migrate help commands, and the patched runtime's own tests.

Verdict: no P0/P1 findings
