Summary

  • add Alfred's reporting-only Node Health policy with deterministic findings and typed per-node remediation state
  • share conservative OMENative placement planning with Defrag while retaining canonical and unresolved OME GPU occupancy safely
  • reconcile repair/drain lifecycle reporting, wire the policy into the binary, tighten current RBAC, and update OEP-0008 to match the implementation

Current boundary

  • no Dispatcher and no InferenceService, Pod, Node, or eviction writes
  • production OMENative execution capability is intentionally unavailable, so migration findings remain advisory
  • Raw, LWS, and otherwise ineligible OME occupants remain advisory and continue to block false drained-node signals
  • ConfigMap writes are restricted to update on the pre-created alfred-recommendations object

Verification

  • go test ./pkg/alfred/... ./cmd/alfred/... -count=1
  • go test -race ./pkg/alfred/engine ./pkg/alfred/metrics ./pkg/alfred/policy/... ./pkg/alfred/snapshot -count=1
  • go vet ./pkg/alfred/... ./cmd/alfred/...
  • repository-wide pre-commit hooks (format, vet, YAML, codespell, Helm, tidy, and site lockfile checks)
  • independent code, design/RBAC, and shipping reviews

Stacked on #858.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added node-health monitoring with remediation markers, lifecycle events, metrics, and durable status tracking.
    • Added workload recommendations for unhealthy GPU nodes, including placement guidance and advisory handling when execution is unavailable.
    • Improved detection of GPU occupancy and malformed or incomplete workload metadata.
  • Improvements

    • Improved defragmentation planning with atomic surge placement and stricter validation.
    • Production decision policies now include node-health evaluation.
    • Restricted configuration permissions to protect policy inputs.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified metrics, deployment behavior, migration limits, and node-health monitoring guidance.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Alfred now evaluates node health with defragmentation, tracks owner-resolved OME occupancy, plans shared OMENative surges, and reports durable remediation lifecycle records. Manifest tests and runtime comments define narrower write access and updated operational behavior.

Changes

Alfred node-health decision flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Owner-resolved snapshot occupancy
pkg/alfred/snapshot/..., pkg/alfred/engine/nodehealth_snapshot_integration_test.go
Snapshots retain complete InferenceReplica owner metadata and project valid occupancy to workload and component targets. Malformed and unresolved OME evidence remains available for remediation reporting.
Shared policy planning and node-health evaluation
pkg/alfred/policy/..., pkg/alfred/policy/defrag/...
The policy API adds node remediation payloads. Shared OMENative validation and atomic surge planning support defragmentation and nodehealth. The nodehealth policy emits deterministic remediation markers and findings.
Decision composition and remediation reporting
cmd/alfred/..., pkg/alfred/engine/..., pkg/alfred/metrics/...
The production loop evaluates both policies. Reporter reconciles remediation episodes, emits lifecycle events and metrics, and persists node records in the recommendations ConfigMap.
Runtime permissions and operational contracts
config/alfred/..., oeps/0008-alfred-gpu-cluster-caretaker/oep.yaml, cmd/alfred/manifests_test.go
ConfigMap permissions are limited to updating the recommendations resource. Manifest tests validate effective access. Comments and metric documentation describe node-health and deployment behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 508fc

The reporting-only node-health lifecycle fix adds coverage for late nodes and stale-state prevention without expanding production write behavior. No merge-blocking risk remains.

@coderabbitai review

Addressed the late-node lifecycle finding in 508fc74a:

  • replaced Reporter-wide seeding with once-per-node lifetime initialization
  • retained fail-closed retry behavior on durable read failures and local-phase precedence
  • covered a durable node first appearing after an earlier failed desired-state write
  • covered persistence-disabled observation followed by leave, enable, and same-evidence re-entry so stale state cannot be revived

Full Alfred tests, relevant race tests, vet, formatting, and repository pre-commit hooks pass.

@pallasathena92 The fix in 508fc74a addresses the late-node lifecycle finding.

initializedNodeEpisodes now initializes durable state per node. seedNodeEpisodes retries durable reads on failure and preserves local phase precedence. The added tests cover both reported regressions.
