📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds ADR-020 for per-invocation isolation of snapshot and validation runs. The design defines shared run IDs, run-scoped resource names and labels, Job-UID-based pod selection, UID-preconditioned cleanup, resource classifications, configuration and policy updates, permission checks, rejected alternatives, and implementation and test deliverables. Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This ADR defines future snapshot-run isolation and its security and cleanup rules, but the current text leaves important run-ID, resource-ownership, permission, and pre-flight failure behavior ambiguous.

In `@docs/design/021-snapshot-agent-run-isolation.md`:
- Around line 112-113: Update the deletion invariant in the snapshot isolation
design documentation to scope it to normal run cleanup, explicitly identifying
legacy unlabeled aicr-node-reader pair deletion by tools/cleanup as a migration
exception and documenting its exact safety guards.
- Around line 204-207: Update the compatibility claims in the design document to
acknowledge the documented behavior changes: duplicate pinned RunID values may
return ErrCodeInternal, and bare ServiceAccount adoption behavior changes.
Replace the assertion that no new failure modes or error codes are introduced
with accurate migration and error-handling behavior.
- Around line 10-16: Update the collision-guarantee statement to apply only to
run-owned Kubernetes objects; clarify that Namespace and delivered output
ConfigMap objects remain shared and are not assigned run-specific names.
- Around line 143-151: Update GetSnapshot to retain the staging ConfigMap UID
and add it to Cleanup’s deletion record before deleting the ConfigMap. Delete it
with metav1.DeleteOptions containing a UID precondition, and ignore UID
mismatches as already replaced resources not owned by this run.
- Around line 257-263: Generate a single validation run ID before snapshot
collection in the aicr validate flow, then propagate it through
AgentConfig.RunID and WithValidationRunID into runValidation. Remove or bypass
the later ID generation in runValidation so agent collection, naming, labels,
logs, selectors, and cleanup all use the same ID.
- Around line 133-139: Update findPodName and findOrWatchPodName to require a
controller=true ownerReference with kind Job and the recorded Job UID, while
retaining the existing label filters and tie-breakers. Add tests covering forged
labels and mismatched owner UIDs, and enforce adversarial namespace isolation
through RBAC or admission controls rather than relying on ownerReferences alone.
- Around line 59-68: Define AgentConfig.RunID so an empty value generates a run
ID, while any non-empty value must match the 32-character YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-16
lowercase hex format and be rejected before resource creation otherwise. Update
GenerateRunID to format its timestamp in UTC, preserving the shared run-ID
generation flow.

Clarify the collision semantics in this section. Retain the unconditional same-namespace statement for aicr validate, since both components receive the same namespace, but explicitly distinguish legacy validator behavior that may overwrite from the proposed behavior, which must fail when an object already exists. As written, the conflicting guidance can lead implementers to preserve destructive updates.

Two corrections and one addition, all tracking decisions taken after the ADR was written: - Decision 9 described --add-roles-to-service-account as provisioning RBAC to the cluster permanently. It renders manifests into snapshot-rbac-<runID>/ and applies nothing; applying and teardown are the operator's commands. - Decision 6 cited a configmaps:delete addition to the pre-flight. That piecemeal approach is superseded; it now points at decision 10. - Decision 10 records the pre-flight gate: one authoritative check covering both the caller and the agent ServiceAccount, mode-aware, failing before the first write with every missing permission named at once.

Define the generated-ServiceAccount pre-flight contract.
Generated mode creates <prefix>-<runID> and its bindings during the run, but this gate runs before any resource is created. A current-state SubjectAccessReview cannot verify permissions granted by those future bindings. Define generated-mode verification separately from exact mode. Generated mode must validate the planned permission set or another pre-write proof. Exact mode can check the existing ServiceAccount. Clarify that exact mode skips only caller RBAC-management verbs, not the agent's required runtime verbs.
Suggested wording
- The agent ServiceAccount must already hold the rules the agent needs.
+ In exact mode, verify the existing agent ServiceAccount's permissions.
+ In generated mode, verify the planned agent permission set before creating
+ run resources.
...
- Exact mode must not demand the RBAC verbs at all.
+ Exact mode must not require the caller to manage RBAC objects, but it must
+ still verify the agent ServiceAccount's runtime permissions.📝 Committable suggestion

Fail closed when a required SubjectAccessReview is unavailable.
The text requires an “unverified” result but does not state that the gate fails. If the run proceeds, it can create resources without verifying the agent identity and fail after deployment. Make inability to create a required SubjectAccessReview a hard pre-flight failure and include it in the aggregated diagnostic.
Based on learnings: ADRs in docs/design/ should define observable failure guarantees at the requirement level.

Summary
Adds ADR-021, recording the design for isolating concurrent snapshot agent runs: every run generates a run ID, user-supplied resource names become prefixes, and every object falls into one of three lifecycle classes.
Motivation / Context
Client.CollectSnapshotdocuments concurrent calls as safe and independent, but every run builds the same fixed object names and the paths that create them are destructive.pkg/validatoralready solved this for validation Jobs; the snapshot agent predates that work and never adopted it.This ADR is documentation only — no implementation. Requested during review of the design proposal on the issue.

No code changes in this PR. The ADR itself records decisions that will be breaking when implemented — object names stop being predictable, and
job-name-keyed selectors (including theaicr-agentNetworkPolicy indocs/integrator/automation.md) stop matching. Those are enumerated under Consequences → Negative, along with the stableapp.kubernetes.io/component: snapshot-agentlabel that replaces them.Numbered 021 because
