Address OCP mcpchecker harness/fixture false fails so core tasks can clear the 80% gate (need two more taskPassed=true from ~22/29):

  • fix-service-routing: PSS-safe verify probe; nginx-unprivileged targetPort 8080
  • ssa-field-preservation: shell setup/verify (avoid alabama kubeconfig path)
  • evals.mk: export KUBECONFIG from MCP_EVAL_KUBECONFIG; force --cluster-provider kubeconfig; put _output/tools/bin (jq) on PATH
  • statefulset-lifecycle: wait for db-0 Ready before data checks
  • multi-container / create-pod-resources-limits: require restricted PSS in prompts; longer Ready waits (300s)
  • fix-service-with-no-endpoints: longer Ready wait; core maxToolCalls 20→25
  • setup-dev-cluster verify: PSS-safe network-isolation probe pods

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Evaluation checks now support configurable timeouts, with sensible defaults when no override is provided.
    • Service-routing checks now wait for endpoints and verify connectivity, reporting useful diagnostic details if checks fail.
    • Stateful workload checks more clearly verify pod deletion and readiness before checking stored data.
    • Cluster evaluation setup now uses the configured kubeconfig when no other kubeconfig is set, and default cluster selection uses kubeconfig.
    • Several evaluation tasks use more explicit container and image settings for consistent results.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The evaluation runner now supports conditional kubeconfig selection and additional tool paths. Several Kubernetes evaluation prompts, images, timeouts, and verification checks have also changed.

Changes

Evaluation configuration and task verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Evaluation runner configuration
build/evals.mk, dev/config/mcp-configs/000-config-defaults.toml
run-evals conditionally sets KUBECONFIG and prepends two tool directories to PATH. The default cluster provider strategy is now kubeconfig.
Task inputs and configurable verification
evals/tasks/core/create-pod-resources-limits/verify.sh, evals/tasks/core/fix-service-with-no-endpoints/verify.sh, evals/tasks/core/multi-container-pod-communication/*, evals/tasks/core/setup-dev-cluster/verify.sh, evals/tasks/core/list-images-for-pods/list-images-for-pods.yaml
Several verification scripts now accept configurable timeouts. The multi-container task uses busybox:latest, the setup task pins its curl image, and the list-images prompt requests a direct report without clarification questions.
StatefulSet lifecycle verification
evals/tasks/core/statefulset-lifecycle/verify.sh
The script checks deletion of db-1 and db-2 separately, waits for db-0 readiness before data verification, and reports details if that readiness wait fails.
Service routing setup and verification
evals/tasks/core/fix-service-routing/setup.sh, evals/tasks/core/fix-service-routing/verify.sh, evals/tasks/core/fix-service-routing/cleanup.sh
The service now targets port 8080. Verification polls for endpoints and applies a curl probe pod; cleanup deletes the probe pod.
Explicit container selection for pod checks
evals/tasks/core/create-pod-mount-configmaps/verify.sh
The script resolves the pod’s first container and supplies its name to both kubectl exec checks.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 48b8b

The evaluator and MCP server can act on different clusters when both kubeconfig variables are set. Align their precedence before merging unless that configuration is explicitly excluded.

Kubernetes Pod Security Standards restricted allowPrivilegeEscalation capabilities drop ALL runAsNonRoot seccompProfile pod container scope

💡 Result:

The Kubernetes Restricted Pod Security Standard (PSS) is designed to enforce pod hardening best practices [1][2]. To comply with the Restricted profile, your Pod configuration must meet specific requirements across both Pod-level and Container-level security contexts [1][3]. Key requirements for the Restricted profile include: 1. Privilege Escalation: Must be disallowed [1][2]. You must set spec.containers[].securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation to false [1][4]. 2. Capabilities: Must drop all capabilities [2][3]. You must set spec.containers[].securityContext.capabilities.drop to include ALL [2][4]. 3. Running as Non-Root: The container must be required to run as a non-root user [1][2]. You must set spec.securityContext.runAsNonRoot (or at the container level) to true [1][5]. 4. Seccomp Profile: Must be explicitly set to RuntimeDefault or Localhost [1][2]. You must set spec.securityContext.seccompProfile.type (or at the container level) to RuntimeDefault or Localhost [1][6]. Regarding scope, these settings can be applied at either the Pod level (spec.securityContext) or the Container level (spec.containers[*].securityContext), with the following nuances: - Overrides: Container-level settings override Pod-level settings [5]. If a field is defined in both, the container-specific configuration takes precedence [5]. - Inheritance: Many fields (such as runAsNonRoot and seccompProfile) can be set at the Pod level to apply as a default for all containers within the Pod [1][5]. However, fields like allowPrivilegeEscalation and capabilities are typically defined at the container level [6][5][3]. - Flexibility: The Restricted policy allows the Pod-level field to be undefined if all individual container-level fields are set, and vice versa (for fields that support both) [1][7]. Example configuration for a compliant Pod: apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: restricted-compliant-pod spec: securityContext: runAsNonRoot: true seccompProfile: type: RuntimeDefault containers: - name: main-container image: my-app:latest securityContext: allowPrivilegeEscalation: false capabilities: drop: ["ALL"]

Citations:


Clarify the scope of each security field.

allowPrivilegeEscalation and capabilities.drop are container-level fields. Specify pod-level runAsNonRoot=true and seccompProfile.type=RuntimeDefault, then require allowPrivilegeEscalation=false and capabilities.drop=["ALL"] in each container securityContext. Otherwise, an agent can place container-only fields under spec.securityContext, which can cause Restricted admission to reject the pod.

Enforce the full-list requirement in verification.

The prompt now requires all images from all running pods, but verify only checks that the response contains quay.io/fedora/mysql-80:latest. A response can omit other images or include incorrect images and still pass. Update verification to compare the expected image set, or narrow the prompt to the image contract that the verifier can enforce.

- multi-container-pod-communication: drop hardcoded runAsUser: 1000,
  which can fall outside a namespace's allocated UID range under
  OpenShift's restricted SCC and get the pod rejected by admission.
  Both images already tolerate an arbitrary non-root UID.
- fix-service-routing/verify.sh: poll for Service endpoint convergence
  instead of failing on the first read (EndpointSlice propagation is
  asynchronous), and stop swallowing real probe-pod delete errors with
  '|| true' so a stale, already-Succeeded probe pod can't produce a
  false pass.
- statefulset-lifecycle/verify.sh: fail closed on the scale-down
  deletion check -- distinguish a genuine 'not found' from any other
  kubectl/API error instead of treating all errors as 'pod is gone'.

Make the endpoint retry window truly bounded.

The direct kubectl get call at evals/tasks/core/fix-service-routing/verify.sh:10 uses the Kubernetes CLI contract where --request-timeout=0 means no timeout. A request can therefore outlive all 15 attempts and prevent the verifier from returning. Set a finite request timeout and enforce the total retry deadline.

Upstream sits at ~96% pass on the builtin-openai core suite; downstream was
at ~77%. Close most of that gap by fixing OpenShift/downstream-specific
issues in eval tasks and infra, without weakening what's actually verified.

- ssa-field-preservation: rewrite task to use server-side apply against a
  real Deployment instead of a synthetic scenario, matching how the tool
  is actually exercised elsewhere in the suite.
- create-pod-resources-limits: require Pod Security restricted-compatible
  securityContext (runAsNonRoot, allowPrivilegeEscalation=false,
  capabilities.drop=["ALL"], seccompProfile=RuntimeDefault) so pods aren't
  rejected by OpenShift's default SCC.
- fix-service-with-no-endpoints, setup-dev-cluster, create-pod-mount-configmaps:
  fix verify.sh assumptions that don't hold on OpenShift (container name
  resolution, resource readiness checks).
- fix-service-routing: use a PSS-restricted-compatible probe pod instead of
  a plain busybox kubectl run (blocked under OpenShift's restricted SCC);
  poll for Service endpoint convergence instead of failing on the first
  read (EndpointSlice propagation is asynchronous); stop swallowing real
  probe-pod delete errors with '|| true' so a stale, already-Succeeded
  probe pod can't produce a false pass.
- statefulset-lifecycle: fail closed on the scale-down deletion check --
  distinguish a genuine 'not found' from any other kubectl/API error
  instead of treating all errors as 'pod is gone'.

  already tolerate an arbitrary non-root UID.
- list-images-for-pods: make the prompt explicit that the model should
  query and report directly instead of asking clarifying questions about
  output format.
- eval-core.yaml: bump maxToolCalls 20 -> 25 to give
  fix-service-with-no-endpoints room for the extra OpenShift-specific
  diagnostic steps it now needs.
- build/evals.mk: minor eval-runner plumbing needed for the above.
- Timeouts bumped for OpenShift (create-pod-resources-limits,
  fix-service-with-no-endpoints, multi-container-pod-communication,
  setup-dev-cluster, ssa-field-preservation, statefulset-lifecycle) are
  now read from a shared VERIFY_TIMEOUT env var instead of being
  hardcoded, so generic/upstream CI keeps its original (fast) defaults
  and slower environments can override without touching these files
  again.

Comment thread evals/tasks/core/setup-dev-cluster/verify.sh Outdated
Mirror the upstream PR after review so the downstream eval run measures
the same changes:
- revert prompt-level securityContext hints and maxToolCalls bump
- keep ssa-field-preservation on declarative kubernetes.* steps
- delete fix-service-routing probe pod in cleanup instead of verify
- default cluster_provider_strategy = "kubeconfig" in dev mcp-configs

Just experimenting with the eval pass rate in this PR. It will be closed when the upstream PR merges.

🟠 Major · Use the same kubeconfig path for the server and verifier. · evals.mk:111

build/evals.mk:111
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use the same kubeconfig path for the server and verifier.

If KUBECONFIG and MCP_EVAL_KUBECONFIG point to different clusters, run-evals preserves KUBECONFIG, but run-server selects MCP_EVAL_KUBECONFIG. The verifier then checks one cluster while the MCP server uses another, causing false failures or task changes on the wrong cluster. Resolve the effective path once and use the same precedence in both targets.

Resolve the effective kubeconfig path once using the same precedence for the
run-server and run-evals targets, and pass that path to both the MCP server
launch and verifier so they operate on the same cluster.
