This PR closes #403

Summary

A ValkeyNode carrying the cluster label but with missing or unparseable shard-index/node-index labels could never become a valid member, yet the cluster controller listed it on every reconcile while the scale-in path counted it as extra. deleteExcessValkeyNodes skipped it with a bare continue, wedging the cluster in Reconciling indefinitely with nothing naming the offending node. Such nodes are now reaped like any other excess node, with a Warning event naming the node and its bad label values.

Features / Behaviour Changes

  • Nodes with invalid topology labels are deleted instead of silently skipped, so the cluster self-heals instead of wedging.
  • A Warning event ValkeyNodeDeleted names the offending node, addressing the undiagnosable-wedge complaint.

Implementation

  • deleteExcessValkeyNodes parses both labels up front; on either parse failure it delegates to a new deleteInvalidTopologyNode helper (log plus Warning event plus Delete with NotFound-tolerant idempotency) and propagates the deleted flag for correct requeue.
  • No RBAC or CRD changes: only existing list/delete verbs on ValkeyNodes.

Limitations

  • Only handles nodes already carrying this cluster's label selector; a same-named node in another namespace is untouched by the list scope.

Testing

  • New Ginkgo specs in internal/controller/valkeycluster_excess_nodes_test.go: malformed node reaped plus event names it (fails without the fix with deleted=false, passes with it), valid in-range node survives, out-of-range node still deleted.
  • Full go test ./internal/... green. gofmt and go vet clean. envtest, no cluster needed.

Checklist

  • Linked issue above
  • DCO signoff on the commit
  • Unit tests added, proven to fail without the fix
  • No generated files touched

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

Scale-in cleanup now deletes ValkeyNode resources with missing, invalid, or negative topology indexes. The deletion helper emits events after successful deletion, handles absent resources, and returns deletion errors. Tests cover malformed, negative, valid, and out-of-range nodes.

ValkeyNode topology cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Invalid topology cleanup
internal/controller/valkeycluster_controller.go
deleteExcessValkeyNodes routes negative, missing, and unparseable topology labels to deleteInvalidTopologyNode. The helper logs invalid metadata, emits ValkeyNodeDeleted after successful deletion, handles not-found results, and returns errors.
Cleanup regression coverage
internal/controller/valkeycluster_excess_nodes_test.go
Tests create isolated resources and verify deletion of malformed, negative, and out-of-range nodes, retention of valid in-range nodes, deletion results, and warning events.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1d56c

This change removes invalid ValkeyNodes that could leave clusters reconciling indefinitely and reports successful cleanup clearly. Covered valid and invalid cases leave no current merge-blocking risk.

Comment thread internal/controller/valkeycluster_excess_nodes_test.go
A ValkeyNode carrying the cluster label but with missing or unparseable
shard-index/node-index labels could never become a valid member, yet the
cluster controller listed it on every reconcile while the scale-in path
counted it as extra. deleteExcessValkeyNodes skipped it with a bare
continue, wedging the cluster in Reconciling indefinitely with nothing
naming the offending node.

Treat such nodes as excess: delete them via a new deleteInvalidTopologyNode
helper that also emits a Warning event naming the node and its bad label
values, so the wedge is both self-healing and diagnosable.

Add Ginkgo specs covering the malformed-node reap plus event, the
in-range survivor, and the existing out-of-range deletion.

Addressing the latest CodeRabbit coverage finding on the spec file: added a node-index-invalid with valid shard-index case, and both malformed-label specs now assert the full event contract (Warning type, ValkeyNodeDeleted reason, raw label values). All 5 deleteExcessValkeyNodes specs green, vet and fmt clean. Pushed in the latest amend.
