feat(gittarget): add spec.serializeNamespace and placement.useKustomize, and fence a namespace-free folder to one source namespace - #328
Merged
Conversation
A path decides where a document sits; it cannot decide what is inside it. spec.serializeNamespace does: a *bool at the top level of GitTargetSpec, where nil keeps inferring per document (today's behavior exactly), true always writes metadata.namespace, and false never does. It is not inside spec.placement because it governs the bytes of every write rather than the destination of a new one. The override reaches all three sites that decide whether the namespace is in the bytes: a new document's placement, an in-place update, and the identity a managed document is located by. The third one needed more than an override. A namespace-free document that no kustomization governs belongs, as the folder reads it, to no namespace at all, so the live object it mirrors matches nothing and the NEXT write of the same object appends a second copy of it beside the first. The store now attributes such a document to the target's single source namespace when the target declared the folder namespace-free (WithDeclaredNamespace, NamespaceDeclared), which is exactly what the one-source-namespace rule guarantees is single. Where the answer is not single, two namespaces or a wildcard, nothing is attributed. Shapes 2 and 4 of the layout corpus run unskipped. Their expected patches lose a pair of quotes the writer never emitted: every executed fixture already said `timeout: 15m`, and only the two skipped ones said `"15m"`.

…izeNamespace: false The write-plan precondition of docs/layout/model.md's second guard. A target that declared its folder namespace-free admits exactly one source namespace, and the second is refused before a byte moves. What two namespaces produce is not a collision but a MATCH: shop/config and billing/config both resolve to a config.yaml whose bytes carry no namespace, so their manifest identities are equal, the bundling rule never fires, and one document flips between two live objects with nothing in Git recording that it happened. Everywhere else in this model losing a distinction produces a refusal or a bundle; only here does it produce a match, which is why this one refuses. Only an EXPLICIT false is fenced. Inference is never constrained by it: a tree of nested roots is legitimately multi-namespace and namespace-free in its documents, and that is the case unset exists for. A rules[] item naming "*" is refused statically, under either reading of "*", with nothing enumerated. It is the correctness layer and it holds whatever admission did, so it lands first and alone; the WatchRule admission check follows. It is raised after the layout is published rather than with the acceptance gate: the folder is fine and its shape is still worth reporting, and what is wrong is the configuration pointed at it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The feedback half of the one-source-namespace rule. The precondition that shipped with it refuses the write, which leaves a target refusing every commit until someone reads its status; this rejects the rule at the moment the mistake is made, which is what an admission webhook is for. It is not the enforcement and must not be mistaken for it. The check is one-shot, so it cannot see a serializeNamespace flipped to false after the rules were created; the webhook is fail-open; and the operator runs perfectly well with no admission server at all. failurePolicy therefore stays Ignore even though this endpoint can now reject: the write path refuses the same configuration whether or not the webhook ran. Every way of failing to evaluate allows, deliberately. A rule naming a GitTarget that does not exist yet is ordinary rather than wrong, and a rejection the handler cannot justify would be a rejection of the user's object on the strength of a GitTarget nobody read. An UPDATE is judged on what the rule would become, excluding its own current value, so the edit that narrows a rule back to one namespace is not blocked by the namespace it is removing.

… none of The one thing in this operator that writes a file nobody asked for by name, so it lands last and on its own. Its only job is the empty case: when no kustomization governs the path a new document lands at and the target declared useKustomize, a kustomization.yaml is created at spec.path and the document is registered in it in the same commit. Registering into a root that is already there happens either way; that is #319's invariant, not this flag. Three things follow from creating a root, and each is a real change rather than a detail: The new document goes BESIDE the root that is about to exist, not at the canonical path. Creating a root and then placing the document in a tree no resources: graph can reach would be worse than not creating one. It reports the same placement source as the rung it stands in for, adding no member to a metric label set that is a public contract. The created root carries namespace: only when exactly one source namespace reaches the target. That is what makes it a meaningful kustomization rather than an empty file, and it is what makes an accompanying serializeNamespace: false provable rather than trusted: the operator owns the file the omission depends on. The render oracle now treats a root that did not EXIST before the flush as having rendered nothing, rather than as a root that failed to build. The two were the same code path and they are not the same fault. This also deletes the corpus's harness-local GitTarget and the filter that hid the two unbuilt fields from the real type. Every scenario now decodes strictly into v1alpha3.GitTarget, which is what makes "the API the worked examples describe" and "the API that got built" one thing. Every skip naming PR 2 is gone; shape 8's images: authoring still names track C. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
configuration.md gains a section per field: what each value writes, why unset is not the same as false, and the one rule that refuses. The shapes and specific-examples sets lose the banner saying neither field exists in the current release, because both now do and every folder in them is executed against the write path.

…ritten into Review finding: enabling useKustomize on a folder that already holds manifests wrote a root listing only the new document. Every other file stayed in Git and fell out of every render the moment a consumer ran kustomize build — mirrored to look at, applied by nothing, with no signal that it had happened. The oracle could not catch it either: a created root has no before-render to compare against. A created root now lists every managed document already in the folder as well as the new one, at the paths those files already have. Nothing is moved, rewritten or re-encoded. Turning a folder into a kustomize folder means the folder. Two boundaries come with it. A folder that already has a render root never gains a SECOND one, even when a declared template puts the new document outside the first: two render roots is the Ambiguous case, and an ambiguous folder stops accepting new documents at all, which is a far larger fault than one unregistered file. And a file some other kustomization governs is never adopted, because listing it twice is a duplicate resource kustomize refuses to build. The oracle stops reading adoption as a blast radius. Objects rendering for the first time under a root that did not exist before are rendering because the root was created, not because the flush touched them — it touched no byte of those files. The root must still build with the write applied, and every write intent must still render to its live object; only the before/after comparison for objects nobody targeted is skipped, and only for a root this flush wrote.

Rename the test to match the required test name format.
TestResolveSourceNamespaces does not use TestFunctionName_Scenario. Rename it, for example, to TestResolveSourceNamespaces_Scenarios.
As per coding guidelines, tests must be named TestFunctionName_Scenario(t *testing.T).

A created root now carries an apiVersion, a kind and its resources: list, and nothing else. spec.serializeNamespace: false means the artifact does not encode its deployment namespace; writing it into a root we authored honoured the letter of the field and broke its meaning, pinning the namespace one file up where it is harder to see and impossible for an installer to override. The namespace comes from the documents when the field is unset or true, and from whatever installs the folder when it is false. docs/design/created-root-namespace.md records the five answers considered, how likely each is to serve a real user, and why this one won. It also records the three facts an earlier revision got wrong: a namespace-less kustomization.yaml is ordinary (three already ship in our own corpus), both Flux and Argo supply one downstream, and what refused the namespace-less root was our own fidelity gate rather than kustomize. That gate is the real change. It compared the rendered namespace against the live object's whenever a flush touched a kustomization, so one declaration got two different answers depending only on whether a root file happened to exist: a namespace-free flat folder was never checked, and the same folder with a root was refused. The comparison now ignores metadata.namespace only when the render itself supplies none, and it is scoped by the RENDER rather than by the setting: a root declaring namespace: shop still rejects a live billing object, because that is a relocation and is exactly what the gate is for. Every other field is compared in every case. The second half of the review: under useKustomize, a placement no kustomization would render is now refused (GitPathAccepted=False, UnrenderedPlacement) instead of committed. It arises where the folder already has a render root and a template puts the document outside it — a second root would make the folder ambiguous, so the choice was to write a file nothing applies or to say so. Targets that never declared useKustomize are unaffected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The reference sections describe each field on its own, which leaves a reader who has not decided anything yet with two independent switches and no way in. Two questions, three combinations people actually reach for, and the one combination to avoid: serializeNamespace: false on a folder nothing installs, where every document lands in default and nothing in the repository can warn you, because the installer is not in the repository.

Describe bootstrap adoption in terms of managed documents.
useKustomize: true is documented here as “adopting the files already there,” but the detailed contract says the created root registers every managed document. A target path can also contain foreign or unsupported files. Change this wording to “adopting managed documents already there” or state the exact eligibility rule.

kubectl apply -f manifest without metadata.namespace current kubeconfig context namespace --namespace documentation
💡 Result:
When you run kubectl apply on a manifest that does not contain a metadata.namespace field, the resource is created in the namespace defined by your current kubeconfig context [1][2][3]. If no namespace is specified in the current context, the default namespace is typically used [1][2]. The precedence for determining the namespace for a kubectl command is generally as follows [4]: 1. Explicitly specified namespace via the --namespace (or -n) command-line flag [1][5]. 2. The namespace defined in the active context of your kubeconfig file [6][3]. 3. The default namespace (often literal "default") [1][4]. If a namespace is defined within the YAML manifest itself, that value takes precedence and will be used regardless of the kubeconfig context or the --namespace flag [1]. Conversely, if you use the --namespace flag, it overrides the namespace defined in your kubeconfig context [1][3]. If you provide both an explicit namespace flag and a conflicting namespace in the YAML metadata, the operation will typically fail, as the manifest acts as the source of truth for the resource configuration [1].

Do not hard-code default as the destination namespace.
When metadata.namespace is absent, kubectl apply -f uses the current kubeconfig context namespace unless --namespace overrides it. Change this warning to “current namespace (often default)”. Also document kubectl apply -k for a generated kustomization root.

PR 2 of the layout track (
docs/design/build-order.md), closing #322's remaining half. Both fields are additive: aGitTargetthat sets neither behaves exactly as it does today, and no consumer bump is needed.What it adds
spec.serializeNamespace(*bool, top level) — whether a committed document carries its ownmetadata.namespace.nilinfers per document, which is today's behavior and stays the default;truealways writes it;falsenever does. It is not insidespec.placementbecause it governs the bytes of every write and the identity a managed document is found by, rather than the destination of a new one. It is ignored for cluster-scoped documents.spec.placement.useKustomize(bool, default false) — its only job is what to do when no kustomization governs the path: createkustomization.yamlatspec.path, withnamespace:when the folder is single-namespace, and register the document in it in the same commit. Registering into a root that already exists is an invariant and happens either way (#319).The one-source-namespace refusal — an explicit
serializeNamespace: falseadmits exactly one source namespace, and the second is refused. Two subjects: a write-plan precondition (GitPathAccepted=False, reasonMultipleSourceNamespaces) as the correctness layer, and aWatchRuleadmission check as the feedback half. AsourceNamespace: "*"item is refused statically, with nothing enumerated. There is no post-scan supplier rule: the supplier of a namespace-free folder lives outside the repository and may not even be single.Definition of done
All four corpus scenarios that were skipped naming PR 2 now run and pass against their existing fixtures, and the harness-local
corpusGitTargetmapping is gone — every scenario config decodes strictly intov1alpha3.GitTarget, which is what makes "the API the worked examples describe" and "the API that got built" one thing. The one remaining skip is shape 8'simages:authoring, which names track C.Two things reviewers should look at
The store now attributes a namespace-free document to the target's single source namespace (
NamespaceDeclared,WithDeclaredNamespace). Without it, a document written underserializeNamespace: falsereads back as belonging to no namespace, so the live object it mirrors matches nothing and the second write appends a duplicate beside the first — and a resync would sweep it as an orphan. No first-write fixture can show this;TestSerializeNamespace_FalseUpdatesTheDocumentItAlreadyWrotedoes. The refusal above is what guarantees the attribution has a single answer.The render oracle treated "this root did not build before the write" and "this root did not exist before the write" as one fault.
useKustomizecreates roots, so a root new in this flush now has an empty baseline instead of an error.Fixture changes
Three expected patches changed, all mechanically and with no content difference: shapes 2 and 4 lose a pair of quotes (
timeout: "15m"→15m) that the writer never emitted and that every already-executing fixture spelled the unquoted way, and shape 5's empty-folder patch takes the same change plus its two file hunks in the harness's sort order.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
