This PR closes #389

Summary

Adds an AST-based scan that discovers every Valkey command the operator's reconciliation code issues, and wires it into the e2e suite so the _operator system user's ACL is verified against the live cluster via ACL DRYRUN instead of being checked by hand.

Features / Behaviour Changes

  • New internal/aclscan package: statically scans cmd/ and internal/ for valkey-go client calls (client.B().Xxx()...Build() builder chains and raw Arbitrary(...) calls) and returns the set of Valkey commands the operator can issue.
  • New e2e test step (in test/e2e/valkeycluster_test.go) that runs ACL DRYRUN _operator <command> for every command aclscan discovers against a live cluster, and fails if any command is denied — catching drift between the _operator ACL in internal/controller/users.go and what the code actually does.
  • New hack/aclscan CLI for manually listing the commands aclscan discovers (go run ./hack/aclscan), useful when updating the _operator ACL by hand.

Implementation

  • internal/aclscan/aclscan.go: resolves valkey-go builder method names (e.g. ClusterSetConfigEpoch) to their literal command tokens (e.g. CLUSTER SET-CONFIG-EPOCH) by parsing valkey-go's own generated command builders on disk via go/ast/go/parser, rather than hand-maintaining the mapping — so it stays correct across valkey-go version bumps. Arbitrary(...) calls are matched separately since they forward a caller-supplied slice rather than a static literal.
  • test/e2e/acl_dryrun_helper_test.go: helper that runs COMMAND INFO once for all discovered commands to look up each one's arity, then pads each command with the right number of placeholder arguments (e.g. CLUSTER SET-CONFIG-EPOCH x) before calling ACL DRYRUN, so a "wrong number of arguments" reply isn't misread as a permission denial. Falls back to incrementally growing the padding (up to maxAclDryRunPlaceholders) for any command whose arity couldn't be resolved up front.
  • The new e2e assertion is appended to the existing "It" block that already exercises the _operator user's permissions in test/e2e/valkeycluster_test.go, reusing its cluster/pod setup.

internal/aclscan/aclscan.go's isBuilderEntryPoint/firstAppendLiterals/isBuilderCall are the core of the AST matching and are the parts most worth double-checking against valkey-go's actual generated code shape.

Limitations

  • Only two call shapes are recognized (builder-pattern and Arbitrary); a valkey-go call issued through some other pattern would silently not be picked up. This mirrors how the operator currently issues all of its commands, but is a blind spot if that changes.
  • The scan is static (source-level), not a runtime trace, so it can't account for commands assembled dynamically from non-literal strings.
  • TestOperatorCommands in internal/aclscan/aclscan_test.go pins the current command list; it needs a one-line update whenever the operator starts issuing a new command (intentional — it's meant to force a conscious ACL review, as noted in the test's doc comment).

Testing

  • go test ./internal/aclscan/... — unit tests for command discovery, builder-token parsing, and dedupe.
  • pre-commit run --all-files — passes for the new code, shows issues in internal/valkey/cluster_rebalance_test.go which should be addressed separatly
  • New e2e step run against a live cluster (make test-e2e / ginkgo, ACL coverage assertion in valkeycluster_test.go) to confirm ACL DRYRUN reports OK for every discovered command against the current _operator ACL.

The change adds static discovery of Valkey commands used by the operator, exposes the results through a CLI, and adds an end-to-end ACL dry-run check for the _operator user.

Changes

Operator ACL validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Static command scanner
internal/aclscan/aclscan.go, internal/aclscan/aclscan_test.go, docs/developer-guide.md
The scanner resolves module paths, parses Valkey command builders, scans operator Go sources, extracts literal commands, removes duplicates, sorts results, and reports unsupported calls. Tests cover these behaviors. The developer guide documents scanner usage and ACL maintenance.
Command discovery CLI
hack/aclscan/main.go
The CLI invokes OperatorCommands, prints discovered commands, and exits with status 1 when scanning fails.
ACL dry-run integration
test/e2e/acl_dryrun_helper_test.go, test/e2e/valkeycluster_test.go
The end-to-end test resolves command arities, creates placeholder arguments, executes ACL DRYRUN through kubectl, retries wrong-arity responses, and reports denied commands with source locations.

Greptile Summary

This change adds static discovery of Valkey commands used by the operator and validates the _operator ACL against that command set in the end-to-end suite. The ACL check’s selected credential is correctly configured for the selected custom-user Valkey cluster.

Confidence Score: 5/5

No blocking failure remains.

No accepted blocking findings remain. The credential-to-cluster flow was exercised with a focused reproduction and the changed ACL scanner and E2E utility packages passed their focused tests.

T-Rex T-Rex Logs

What T-Rex did

  • Identified the exact source references that define the default password usage and the targeted pod in the valkeycluster test.
  • Verified the configuration file names the cluster and configures its default user from valkey-cluster-sample-users/defaultpw.
  • Observed that a live Kind/Kubernetes run was unavailable because kubectl is not installed, and noted that the focused executable mock exercised the same kubectl get secret, kubectl get pods, and kubectl exec valkey-cli flow.
  • Logged the collected artifacts, including a shell script and four log files, to support review of test execution and results.
  • Assessed how the provided proof ties together sources, config, and the mock execution to validate the contract-level behavior.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 3df74

The added ACL validation currently exposes the decoded cluster password in e2e and CI logs, creating a credential-disclosure risk that should be fixed before merge. It can also misclassify unrelated Arbitrary calls as commands, causing false ACL failures and unnecessary permission changes.

Since it's a temporary password just for the e2e tests, IMO it should be fine.

Since it is part of the e2e test it should be hooked in the CI pipeline. Do you mean as a dedicated check?

…ator commands

Add internal/aclscan, a package that statically discovers the Valkey
commands the operator's reconciliation code issues by scanning cmd/
and internal/ for valkey-go client calls (builder-pattern and
Arbitrary()). Builder method names are resolved to command tokens by
parsing valkey-go's own generated command builders on disk, so the
mapping tracks whichever valkey-go version the operator is built
against instead of being hand-maintained.

Wire this into the e2e suite: a new test step in valkeycluster_test.go
runs ACL DRYRUN against the "_operator" system user for every
discovered command, padding each with the right number of placeholder
arguments (via COMMAND INFO arity lookups) so wrong-arity replies
don't get mistaken for permission denials. This catches the ACL in
internal/controller/users.go silently drifting from the commands the
code actually runs.

Also add hack/aclscan, a small CLI for manually listing the commands
aclscan discovers.

Preserve lexical shadowing for builder variables.

scanFunc uses one builderVars map while it scans nested function literals. If an outer b := client.B() is shadowed by a nested parameter or local named b, a non-Valkey b.ClusterInfo() call is treated as a builder call and OperatorCommands returns an error. Track builder bindings by lexical scope while retaining lookup of unshadowed captured bindings. Add a nested-function regression test.

LGTM, since the dryrun needs a real cluster its probably better like this to have it in a e2e tests that a separate step in CI.
We could probably move ACL e2e-tests to a separate file in the future, combining it with acl_dryrun_helper_test.go.

  1. Would it make sense to move internal/aclscan entirely under hack/aclscan?

    From what I can see, aclscan.go doesn't depend on any of the operator's internal controller packages; The only operator-side usage is from the e2e test, while the CLI already lives under hack/aclscan.

    Keeping the implementation under internal/ makes it look like an operator-internal package, even though it isn't part of the operator's runtime functionality. Having the scanner and CLI together under hack/aclscan might make the intent and ownership clearer.

  2. i still didn't understand why we need hack/aclscan. If the CLI is mainly for manual ACL updates, could we instead rely on the e2e test to catch ACL drift and keep this change smaller?

The e2e suite (`test/e2e/valkeycluster_test.go`, "validating the _operator ACL
covers every command the operator runs") uses the same package to check this
list against a live cluster: for every discovered command it runs
`ACL DRYRUN _operator <command>` and fails if any of them come back denied.

Document the placeholder arguments used by ACL DRYRUN.

The e2e helper resolves each command's arity and appends placeholder arguments before running ACL DRYRUN. The documentation shows only the shorthand <command>. If readers use that shorthand without the required arguments, commands with nonzero arity can return a wrong-arity error. State that <command> includes the generated arguments, or show the complete form.

  1. Would it make sense to move internal/aclscan entirely under hack/aclscan?
    From what I can see, aclscan.go doesn't depend on any of the operator's internal controller packages; The only operator-side usage is from the e2e test, while the CLI already lives under hack/aclscan.
    Keeping the implementation under internal/ makes it look like an operator-internal package, even though it isn't part of the operator's runtime functionality. Having the scanner and CLI together under hack/aclscan might make the intent and ownership clearer.
  2. i still didn't understand why we need hack/aclscan. If the CLI is mainly for manual ACL updates, could we instead rely on the e2e test to catch ACL drift and keep this change smaller?

Thanks for the feedback @sandeepkunusoth !
The e2e test only tells you that a command got denied, not the full set you need to reconcile internal/controller/users.go against. go run ./hack/aclscan gives you that full list, without spinning up a live cluster. I thought that could be handy. If you prefer dropping it, I'm okay with it.
