Thoughts on reset vs repave?

I prefer repave personally since it seems more specific than reset, but I don't have strong opinions here honestly

I guess the question I have is whether a repave implies an update? In my mind repave does. You're putting a fresh something down but it's fundamentally new vs resetting to the original state (which is generally what reimage implies).

Yeah it implies an update i.e. the latest machine spec is used during repave.

@copilot Fix the failing linter

Fixed in 80f40a8. Two issues:

  1. gofmt alignment for condRepaved constant in internal/metalman/redfish/reconciler.go (the rename changed the name length, breaking column alignment)
  2. Regenerated CRD YAML with controller-gen to fix line-wrapping difference in the repaveCounter description

@copilot fix the smoke tests

Fixed in e2913e9. The smoke test was failing because kindnet enters CrashLoopBackOff on the smoke-node (a pre-existing flaky issue also affecting main). Added _restart_crashing_pods() which force-deletes pods stuck in CrashLoopBackOff to reset the exponential backoff timer. This is called periodically (every 60s) during assert_node_ready after the first 30s, giving kindnet a fresh start when its crashes are transient (e.g. racing with VM network initialization).

@copilot rebase

Merged latest main in d1c3a78. Resolved one conflict in api/v1alpha3/machine_types.go where the new MachineConditionCloudInitDone constant was added on main alongside our MachineConditionRepaved rename.

* Replace gRPC daemon with Machine CR watch-based daemon

Replace the gRPC task-pull daemon with a watch-based daemon that
monitors the Machine CR on the control plane and reconciles the local
node to match the desired state.

- Watch Machine CR for spec drift (version, image) and operation
  counter drift (reimageCounter, rebootCounter)
- Perform alternating nspawn machine updates (kube1/kube2) on drift
- Update Machine CR status: phase, conditions (NodeUpdated), and
  acknowledge operation counters
- Authenticate with bootstrap token from applied config (not kubelet
  kubeconfig which has nspawn-internal paths)
- Add RBAC (ClusterRole + ClusterRoleBinding) for system:bootstrappers
- Add e2e tests: daemon validation, version upgrade via reimageCounter
  patch, applied config verification
- Fix double-reconciliation bug: re-GET Machine CR before drift
  detection to avoid stale watch events

* Refactor: extract shared phase helpers and consolidate machineRun

Extract rootfs.Provision, nodestart.StartNode, and nodestop.StopNode as
shared composite tasks used by both the initial agent start and the node
update flow. This removes duplicated phase orchestration from start.go
and nodeupdate.Execute.

Move the duplicated machineRun helper into utilexec.MachineRun so all
packages (nodestart, nodestop, nodeupdate) share a single implementation.
Replace the empty nodestop stubs (StopContainerd, StopKubelet) with a
real StopNode task that gracefully stops services before nspawn teardown.

* Refactor agent daemon: consolidate into daemon package and extract phase helpers

- Move nodeupdate package to cmd/agent/internal/daemon, rename Execute to
  updateNode (unexported). The daemon package now owns the full watch loop,
  reconciliation, kube client, scheme, drift detection, and node update logic.

- Slim cmd/daemon.go to just cobra wiring that calls daemon.Run(ctx, log).
  Delete cmd/scheme.go (moved to daemon package).

- Remove Config field from NodeStart goal state. PersistAppliedConfig and
  StartNode now take *provision.AgentConfig as an explicit parameter instead
  of smuggling it through the goal state struct.

- Extract WaitForKubelet into phases/nodestart/wait_kubelet.go.

- Extract PersistAppliedConfig into phases/nodestart/persist_config.go.

- Add reset.RemoveAppliedConfig task and reset.CleanupMachine composite
  that combines RemoveNSpawnConfig + RemoveMachine + RemoveAppliedConfig.
  Replace inline os.Remove in node update with the composite task.

* Simplify e2e test flow to single linear sequence

Remove the two-case structure (pre-existing CR vs no CR with VM
recreation) and replace with a single linear flow: join, validate
self-registered CR, upgrade, reset, rejoin. This removes the need
for VM recreation between test cases.

* Move Machine CR registration from start command to daemon

The daemon now registers the Machine CR at startup before entering the
watch loop, instead of the start command doing it as a separate phase.
This ensures registration happens even on rejoin after reset, and keeps
all Machine CR interaction in the daemon package.

Remove the now-unused nodestart.RegisterMachine phase and its tests.
Add tests for the daemon's registerMachine and buildMachineCR functions.

* Move EnableDaemon into task list, add machines.target dep, unexport findActiveMachine

- Move EnableDaemon from a separate call into the Serial task list so
  all phases are in one place.
- Add machines.target dependency to the daemon systemd unit so it waits
  for the nspawn machine to be running before starting.
- Unexport FindActiveMachine since it is only used within the daemon
  package.
- Add polling to validate_machine_cr_created in e2e tests since the
  daemon now registers the Machine CR asynchronously after startup.

* Fix implicit string concatenation flagged by CodeQL

Use explicit + concatenation for the multi-line shell command string
in validate_upgrade to avoid the implicit-concatenation-in-list
warning.

* Fix lint: lowercase error string per Go conventions

* Update RBAC and daemon doc to match current architecture

Add create verb to machines resource in agent RBAC (needed for daemon
self-registration). Update daemon.md to accurately describe bootstrap
token auth, system:bootstrappers group, Machine CR registration at
startup, operation counter drift as sole reconciliation trigger, and
machines.target systemd dependency.

* Address PR #37 review nits and drop post-rejoin CR check

- Annotate bare error returns in goalstates/resolve.go (plombardi89)
- Add MachineConditionNodeUpdated const to api/v1alpha3 (jveski)
- Use apimeta.SetStatusCondition instead of manual condition loop (jveski)
- Set NodeUpdated condition alongside Provisioning phase update (jveski)
- Drop validate-machine-cr-created step after rejoin in e2e workflow

* Decouple watch loop from reconciliation with async worker

Move reconciliation to a worker goroutine signalled via a buffered
channel (capacity 1). The watch loop now performs a non-blocking send
on each MODIFIED/ADDED event and immediately returns to draining the
watch stream. This prevents backpressure on the API server's HTTP/2
connection when reconciliation takes time (rootfs provisioning ~15s).

The worker calls handleMachineEvent which re-GETs the Machine CR from
the API server, so coalesced signals naturally pick up the latest state.
Multiple events arriving during an in-flight reconciliation are merged
into a single follow-up reconciliation.

* Use client-go workqueue for async reconciliation

Replace hand-rolled channel-based worker with client-go's
TypedRateLimitingInterface workqueue. This is the standard Kubernetes
controller building block and provides deduplication, rate limiting
with exponential backoff on failures, and proper shutdown semantics.

The watch loop calls queue.Add(machineName) on events; the workqueue
deduplicates if the key is already queued or being processed. On
reconciliation failure runWorker calls AddRateLimited for backoff
retry; on success it calls Forget to reset the rate limiter.

* Add TODO for bootstrap token credential strategy in buildKubeClient

* Replace global NewKubeClient var with parameter injection

* Consolidate agent daemon RBAC into bootstrapper RBAC

* Fix flaky e2e: add site label to bootstrap token secret

* Stop and remove agent daemon systemd unit during reset

* Unify config dirs under /etc/unbounded/{kube,agent}

* Add SHA-256 sidecar checksum for applied config integrity

Write a .sha256 companion file alongside the applied config JSON to
detect on-disk corruption (e.g. bitflips). Each file is written
atomically via renameio; a missing sidecar is treated as a warning
(older agent or crash between writes), while a present sidecar with
wrong digest returns ErrChecksumMismatch.

- Write path: PersistAppliedConfig writes checksum after config
- Read path: findActiveMachine verifies checksum before trusting data
- Reset path: RemoveAppliedConfig cleans up the sidecar file
- Tests: ComputeChecksum, VerifyChecksum (match/mismatch/missing/error)

* Update daemon doc: consolidate sections, add SVG diagram

Combine Drift Detection and Applied Config Integrity into a single
Applied Config and Drift Detection section that describes AgentConfig
fields, operation counter triggers, and persistence with integrity
guard. Replace ASCII diagram with SVG following existing style.
Simplify systemd and RBAC sections to prose descriptions. Call out
bootstrap token auth as temporary.

* Rename reimage to repave in agent daemon, e2e, and docs

Follow the API rename from ReimageCounter to RepaveCounter that landed
in main via #36. Update Go field references, JSON patch fields in e2e
tests, Python variables, CI comments, and documentation.

* Consolidate daemonUnit const and remove reboot counter drift check

* Implement in-place update of nspawn machine

Add alternating (blue/green) nspawn machine update logic and a long-running
agent daemon that registers the Machine CR at startup.

The daemon discovers the active nspawn machine, builds a kube client from
the applied config, ensures a Machine CR exists, then blocks until shutdown.
The update logic (updateNode, hasDrift, findActiveMachine) is in place but
the trigger mechanism is TBD.

Removes the Machine CR watch loop, workqueue, status updates, and
operations counter logic from the prior implementation. Also removes
daemon-specific e2e steps and design doc.

* Add license header and StartLimitIntervalSec=0 to daemon unit file
