fix(hostsensormanager): stop matching decoy release files as os-release

[magic-peach]

Overview

getOsReleaseFile picks the /etc entry whose name ends in os-release. On RHEL-family hosts that also match centos-release, redhat-release, etc, since they end with the same substring. Readdirnames doesn't guarantee ordering, so which file wins can vary between runs, and those distro files aren't KEY=VALUE formatted like the real os-release, so whatever consumes OsReleaseFileSpec.Content downstream ends up parsing the wrong thing.

Switched to an exact filename match, since there's only one file we actually want here.

How to Test

Added a test that seeds a temp /etc with both centos-release and os-release present and asserts the real one wins, plus a case with only the decoy present. Confirmed the first test fails against the old HasSuffix check and passes with the fix.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved OS release detection to select only the exact os-release file.
  • Prevented similarly named files from being incorrectly identified as the operating system release file.
  • Added error handling when no valid os-release file is available.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

OS release discovery now matches only the exact os-release filename. Tests verify selection when decoy files exist and error behavior when only decoy files exist.

Changes

OS release file matching

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Exact filename selection pkg/hostsensormanager/sensor_osrelease.go, pkg/hostsensormanager/sensor_osrelease_test.go	Discovery matches os-release exactly. Tests cover valid matching with centos-release present and failure when only the decoy file exists.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 12fd6

The change ensures only the intended os-release file is selected and adds coverage for decoy files; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Rename the constant to reflect exact filename matching.

osReleaseFileSuffix now stores a complete filename, and line 70 uses exact equality. Rename it to osReleaseFileName and update the reference. This keeps the identifier aligned with the matching contract.

Proposed rename

- osReleaseFileSuffix = "os-release"
+ osReleaseFileName = "os-release"

- if etcSons[idx] == osReleaseFileSuffix {
+ if etcSons[idx] == osReleaseFileName {

LGTM — the exact-match fix correctly addresses the decoy-file bug: readdirnames order was unspecified, so centos-release/redhat-release etc. could win over the real os-release since they share the suffix, and those files aren't KEY=VALUE formatted. Switching to == fixes that, and hostPath(etcDirName) joins with basenames from Readdirnames, so the exact match is correct there.

Tests look solid: cover both the decoy-present-with-real-file case and the decoy-only-not-found case, and correctly restore hostFSPrefix via defer.

Nit (non-blocking): osReleaseFileSuffix is now a slightly stale name since it's used for exact equality rather than a suffix check — worth a rename to something like osReleaseFileName in a follow-up, but not worth blocking on.

Approving.
