In `@docs/design/020-cre-aicr-performance-integration.md`:
- Line 111: Update the compound modifier in the sentence under “Supply fabric
configuration directly” to hyphenate “three-to-six-week external dependency.”
- Around line 142-144: Update
docs/design/020-cre-aicr-performance-integration.md lines 142-144 to describe
the initial NCCL proof as a Certification flow rather than WorkloadRun. Update
lines 146-150 to cover creating the Certification, waiting for completion, and
handling its BandwidthMeasurement results; both sites require documentation
changes.
In `@validators/performance/cre_goodput.go`:
- Line 136: Update the validation flow using creTrainingRunName to generate a
unique DNS-valid WorkloadRun name for each validation, rather than reusing the
fixed constant. Reuse that generated name consistently for every WorkloadRun
creation, lookup, wait, and deletion operation within the validation.
- Around line 181-201: The WorkloadRun specification in the relevant validator
contains repeated key literals that trigger goconst. Reuse the existing keyName
constant and introduce or reuse constants for mountPath and value, then replace
every repeated "name", "mountPath", and "value" key in this specification while
preserving the generated structure.
Apply the same fix in `@validators/performance/cre_workloadrun.go` around lines 66
- 72: The same repeated-literal lint issue occurs in the Certification and
WorkloadRun object builders.
In `@validators/performance/cre_workloadrun.go`:
- Line 258: Update the watch setup in the workload-run validation flow to
capture the non-terminal object’s resource version from the initial Get and
include it in the metav1.ListOptions passed to res.Watch. Ensure the watch
begins at that observed version so terminal updates between Get and Watch are
not missed, and add a test covering this transition.
- Line 71: Update the cleanup-to-creation flow around deleteCREResource and
checkCRENCCLAllReduceBW to wait with a bounded context until the fixed-name
Certification is confirmed NotFound before calling createUnstructured. Add a
test covering a retained finalizer and repeated NCCL checks.

Use catalog Certifications for NCCL and Nemotron-5 8B, always delete the CR, and cap each run to two named nodes with a matching job timeout so AICR wait cannot leave CRE work running. Signed-off-by: Rohit Rajani <rorajani@nvidia.com>
AICR's Certification teardown could report a clean cleanup while CRE's jobs were still holding GPUs, and could report a passing check on top of a Certification it failed to delete. Delete with foreground propagation so the parent CR is retained until CRE's Workflows, TrainJobs, and pods are gone, making the existing gone-wait actual evidence the GPU work stopped. Give teardown its own budget instead of borrowing the shorter DiagnosticTimeout, which would expire mid-termination and leak a running job. Route both checks through creCleanupFailure so a failed or timed-out teardown fails the check, while preserving an error the check already hit. These bounds are enforced by AICR at the call site: CRE's API places no upper bound on nodesPerJob and has no whole-Certification deadline. Signed-off-by: Rohit Rajani <rorajani@nvidia.com>

Deleting the Certification does not establish that its GPU work stopped. CRE's Certification controller deletes its child Workflows and drops its own finalizer in the same reconcile without waiting for them, and its Job drain barrier gives up after five minutes and proceeds while pods are still running. Foreground propagation is therefore necessary but not sufficient, so observing the parent disappear proved nothing. Teardown now walks Certification -> Workflows -> Jobs by label before the delete, because CRE stamps the Certification name only on its Workflows, then waits for every TrainJob and non-terminal workload pod carrying those Job names to disappear. An unconfirmed teardown fails the check rather than warning: surviving work still holds the GPUs. The teardown budget is separated from the delete budget and sized to outlast CRE's five-minute drain grace plus pod termination. Signed-off-by: Rohit Rajani <rorajani@nvidia.com>

Summary
Adds opt-in Cluster Readiness Engine performance checks for EKS H100 against public CRE (
nvcre.nvidia.com). NCCL creates aCertification(communication/nccl-all-reduce); training goodput still usesWorkloadRun. Shipped overlays keep TrainJobnccl-all-reduce-bw; CRE is catalog-only until a later overlay flip.Motivation / Context
CRE is public at https://github.com/NVIDIA/cluster-readiness-engine. The NCCL check no longer depends on private Excalibur. Helm install of CRE is #2524 so this change cannot attach
nvcreto any overlay.Fixes: N/A
