OLS-2190: require username and version for on-prem watsonx secrets

[DeokarT]

OLS-2190. Also OLS-2849.

IBM Cloud watsonx stays as it is: secret key apitoken. Empty URL is treated as IBM Cloud because the service default is https://us-south.ml.cloud.ibm.com.

If the provider URL is not *.ml.cloud.ibm.com, this is Cloud Pak for Data. Then the same secret also needs username and version. instance_id is optional. The operator already mounts the whole secret, so those keys are already on disk. We just start requiring them instead of letting the app die on WATSONX_USERNAME and then on version.

Do not tell people to set env vars on the app Deployment. We will revert that.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Watsonx provider constants and fixtures, documents IBM Cloud and Cloud Pak for Data secrets, detects IBM Cloud URLs, and validates Watsonx-specific credentials with tests for valid and invalid configurations.

Changes

Watsonx credentials

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Watsonx provider contract internal/controller/utils/constants.go, internal/controller/utils/test_fixtures.go, README.md	Adds Watsonx constants and a provider fixture. Documents IBM Cloud apitoken credentials and Cloud Pak for Data username and version requirements.
Watsonx URL and credential validation internal/controller/utils/utils.go	Classifies empty, IBM Cloud, and non-IBM Cloud URLs. Requires apitoken for Watsonx and also requires username and version for Cloud Pak for Data.
Watsonx validation coverage internal/controller/utils/utils_misc_test.go	Tests explicit and default IBM Cloud URLs, valid Cloud Pak for Data credentials, and missing username or version keys.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5ce70

Watsonx credential validation now supports IBM Cloud defaults and requires username and version for Cloud Pak for Data. The CP4D documentation examples currently use inconsistent Secret names, which can cause copied deployments to fail validation until the names are aligned.

Hi @DeokarT. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Align the documented Secret name with the OLSConfig example.

The new Secret example creates watsonx-api-keys, but the OLSConfig example at Line [133] references watson-api-keys. A user who copies both snippets will get a missing-secret validation error. Use the same Secret name in both snippets.

As per path instructions: cross-check Markdown documentation against AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, and CONTRIBUTING.md, and flag stale paths or docs that contradict the current reconciliation flow.
