#864 renamed the ap.*/nn.* CEL rule-library helper namespaces to cp.* with no backward-compatible aliases. Since CEL rules are loaded from CRDs at runtime (user-authored detection rules), any pre-existing rule still referencing ap.*/nn.* now fails to compile — and pkg/utils/cel.go silently disables the expression on a compile failure (logs a warning, no error surfaced), so affected rules just stop detecting anything. Register the same 14 ap.* and 6 nn.* helper functions (e.g. ap.was_executed, nn.is_domain_in_egress) alongside the existing cp.* namespace, wired to the exact same Go implementations via a shared funcSpecs table per library, so cp.* and its legacy alias can never drift apart. cel-go requires overload ids to be unique per environment, so the alias registers its own overload ids (ap_*/nn_*) rather than literally reusing cp.*'s FunctionOpt values — only the CEL-facing glue is duplicated, not the detection logic. These aliases are a deliberate transition/deprecation window, not a permanent API; both AP()/NN() and the CEL registration in cel.go are commented accordingly for removal once user rules have migrated to cp.*. Signed-off-by: Matthias Bertschy <matthias.bertschy@gmail.com> Docs-exempt: internal CEL rule-library namespace change; #864 (the PR that introduced the cp.* rename this follows up on) made no docs/ changes either, and no doc in this repo documents the ap./nn./cp. helper namespaces. The change is self-documented via code comments on AP()/NN() and in this PR description. Signed-off-by: Matthias Bertschy <matthias.bertschy@gmail.com>

Suppress SA1019 at these call sites, otherwise lint fails.
golangci-lint reports SA1019 for lines 72 and 73, because containerprofile.AP and containerprofilenetwork.NN carry Deprecated: markers. This registration is the intended call site, so add a targeted suppression instead of removing the calls. Keep the suppression narrow, so that other deprecated usages still fail lint.

Wire Library.CostEstimator() into CEL checking.
NewCEL registers libraries only through CompileOptions() and never calls CostEstimator() or NewCompositeCostEstimator. Therefore legacyCostEstimator is unreachable, and ap.* calls receive no custom cost estimate. Register the estimators or remove this unused infrastructure.

Summary
#864 renamed the CEL rule-library namespaces used by user-authored detection rules from
ap.*/nn.*tocp.*with no backward-compatible aliases, so any pre-existing customer rule still using the old names now silently stops compiling (and silently stops detecting anything —pkg/utils/cel.gojust logs a warning on compile failure). This PR restoresap.*/nn.*as deprecated aliases of the samecp.*implementations for a transition window.Overview
CEL rules are loaded from CRDs at runtime, i.e. users can (and do) author their own rules. Any pre-existing customer rule that still references the old
ap./nn.function names now fails to compile. On a compile failure,pkg/utils/cel.gojust logslogger.L().Warning("CEL expression disabled: failed to compile", ...)and disables the expression — a silent fail-open. The rule doesn't error loudly, it just stops detecting anything, and nobody is told.This PR closes that gap by registering the same helper functions under both namespaces for a transition/deprecation window:
cp.*(unchanged, still the canonical/recommended namespace used by this project's own shipped default rules)ap.*/nn.*(new: deprecated backward-compat aliases)Aliased functions
ap.*(14, inpkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile):was_executed,was_executed_with_args,was_path_opened,was_path_opened_with_flags,was_path_opened_with_suffix,was_path_opened_with_prefix,was_syscall_used,was_capability_used,was_endpoint_accessed,was_endpoint_accessed_with_method,was_endpoint_accessed_with_methods,was_endpoint_accessed_with_prefix,was_endpoint_accessed_with_suffix,was_host_accessed.nn.*(6, inpkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofilenetwork):was_address_in_egress,was_address_in_ingress,is_domain_in_egress,is_domain_in_ingress,was_address_port_protocol_in_egress,was_address_port_protocol_in_ingress.Implementation notes
containerprofile.goandcontainerprofilenetwork.gowere refactored from a hand-writtenmap[string][]cel.FunctionOptliteral into a smallfuncSpectable (one entry per helper: name suffix, arg types, arity, and a closure calling the existing implementation method, e.g.l.wasExecuted).Declarations()and the newAP()/NN()alias both build their function map from that same table, so thecp.*and legacy namespaces can never end up calling a different implementation for "the same" function — there is exactly one place the detection logic lives.cel-gorequires overload ids to be unique per environment (not just per function name) — reusing acp.*function'scel.FunctionOptverbatim under anap./nn.name causes anoverload already existspanic atenv.Program()time once both namespaces are registered together. So the alias registers its own overload ids (ap_*/nn_*) — only this CEL-facing glue is duplicated, not the actual predicate logic.AP()/NN()and the registration incel.goare commented as deprecated: the expectation is these get removed in a future release once users have migrated their rules tocp.*.cp.*itself; regression-covered by tests below.Tests
New tests in
pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/legacy_test.goand.../containerprofilenetwork/legacy_test.go:TestLegacyAPDeclarationsMirrorCP/TestLegacyNNDeclarationsMirrorCP: drift guard — the alias's declared function set exactly mirrorscp.*'s (one-for-one), and both namespaces register into the samecel.Envwithout overload-id collisions.TestLegacyAPMatchesCP_ExecOpenSyscallCapability/TestLegacyAPMatchesCP_HTTPAndHost: all 14ap.*helpers compile and evaluate against realContainerProfiledata, matching theircp.*equivalent's result on the same input (including a miss case), and confirmcp.*is unaffected byap.*also being registered.TestLegacyNNMatchesCP: all 6nn.*helpers, same approach, against egress/ingressContainerProfiledata.go test ./pkg/rulemanager/cel/...and./pkg/rulemanager/...are green, including the new tests.go build ./...,go vet ./...are clean, andgofmt -lreports no issues on any file touched by this PR.Related: #864
