Changed OAuth proxy scope from 'user:full' to 'user:info' to allow users to authenticate to vTeam via Google OAuth while blocking access to the OpenShift console and kubectl/oc CLI commands.

Changes:

  • Updated frontend-deployment.yaml OAuth proxy scope
  • Added security documentation to OPENSHIFT_OAUTH.md
  • Created deployment guide in OAUTH_SCOPE_RESTRICTION.md

This provides app-only authentication without granting cluster privileges.

Pull Request Review: OAuth Scope Restriction

Summary

This PR implements an important security improvement by restricting OAuth scope from user:full to user:info, preventing users from accessing the OpenShift console and kubectl while maintaining vTeam authentication. The implementation is well-documented and follows security best practices.

Code Quality: ✅ Excellent

Strengths

  1. Minimal, targeted change: Single-line modification to the core configuration (frontend-deployment.yaml:65)
  2. Comprehensive documentation: Two documentation files covering deployment and security considerations
  3. Clear migration path: Includes both deployment and rollback instructions
  4. Follows principle of least privilege: Restricts permissions to minimum required for authentication

Security Analysis: ✅ Strong

Positive Security Improvements

  1. Reduces attack surface: Users can no longer leverage vTeam authentication to access cluster resources
  2. Separation of concerns: Application authentication is now separate from cluster RBAC
  3. Defense in depth: Even if a user's OAuth token is compromised, it cannot be used for cluster access

Potential Considerations

Critical: Verify --openshift-delegate-urls Configuration

The --openshift-delegate-urls={"/":{"resource":"projects","verb":"list"}} parameter (line 66) performs SubjectAccessReview checks for API calls. With user:info scope, I need to verify this still works correctly.

Question: Does the backend rely on the user's OAuth token to perform Kubernetes operations, or does it use a service account?

Looking at the backend code, I see extensive use of GetK8sClientsForRequest(c) which creates K8s clients using the user's token. The CLAUDE.md explicitly states:

User-Scoped Clients (for API operations):

// ALWAYS use for user-initiated operations (list, get, create, update, delete)
reqK8s, reqDyn := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)

CRITICAL CONCERN: The user:info scope only grants access to:

  • /apis/user.openshift.io/v1/users/~ (get current user info)
  • Basic authentication validation

It does NOT grant permissions to:

  • List/create/update/delete Custom Resources (AgenticSession, ProjectSettings, RFEWorkflow)
  • Access namespaces
  • Create Jobs, Secrets, PVCs, Services
  • Perform SelfSubjectAccessReview checks

Impact: This change may break ALL backend API operations that rely on user-scoped K8s clients, which appears to be the majority of the application based on the codebase patterns.

Recommended Testing Before Merge

Test Case 1: Create Session

# After deploying this change, attempt to create an agentic session
curl -X POST https://vteam-frontend.../api/projects/test-project/agentic-sessions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -d '{"name":"test","prompt":"hello"}'

Expected: Should succeed if backend service account is used for CR writes
Actual: May fail with 403 if user token lacks permissions

Test Case 2: List Sessions

curl https://vteam-frontend.../api/projects/test-project/agentic-sessions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Expected: Should return sessions list
Actual: May fail with 403 Forbidden

Test Case 3: Verify RBAC Checks
Check handlers/middleware.go:238 - ValidateProjectContext performs SelfSubjectAccessReview:

reqK8s, _ := GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)
ssar := &authv1.SelfSubjectAccessReview{...}
res, err := reqK8s.AuthorizationV1().SelfSubjectAccessReviews().Create(ctx, ssar, v1.CreateOptions{})

This may fail with user:info scope.

Architecture Concerns

Design Pattern Mismatch

The backend follows a user-scoped client pattern (per CLAUDE.md) where user tokens are used for RBAC enforcement. This change restricts the token to user:info, which conflicts with this pattern.

Two possible solutions:

Option A: Backend Service Account Only (Requires Code Changes)

Remove dependency on user tokens for K8s operations:

  • Backend uses service account for all CR operations
  • Implement application-level RBAC (database/config-based)
  • User token only for authentication, not authorization

Option B: Hybrid Scope (Configuration Only)

Use a scope that allows CR access but blocks console/kubectl:

- --scope=user:info
- --extra-scope=user:check-access  # Allow RBAC checks

However, I'm not certain OpenShift OAuth proxy supports extra-scope or if a different scope like user:check-access would still block console/kubectl access.

Option C: Custom OAuth Delegate URLs (Least Invasive)

The --openshift-delegate-urls parameter might handle this. The proxy can perform the SubjectAccessReview on behalf of the user even with limited scope. Need to verify if this is working correctly.

Documentation Quality: ✅ Excellent

Strengths

  1. OAUTH_SCOPE_RESTRICTION.md: Comprehensive deployment guide with verification steps
  2. Clear scope comparison table: Helps operators understand permission implications
  3. Rollback instructions: Well-documented escape hatch
  4. Troubleshooting section: Addresses common failure scenarios

Suggestions

Add Testing Section

## Testing Checklist

Before deploying to production, verify:
- [ ] User can authenticate to vTeam
- [ ] User can create new agentic sessions
- [ ] User can view session list
- [ ] User can view session details
- [ ] User CANNOT access OpenShift console
- [ ] User CANNOT run kubectl commands
- [ ] Backend API logs show no 403 errors

Clarify Backend Authorization Model

Add to OAUTH_SCOPE_RESTRICTION.md:

## Backend Authorization Model

The vTeam backend uses TWO separate authorization mechanisms:

1. **User Authentication**: OAuth proxy validates user identity with `user:info` scope
2. **Kubernetes Operations**: Backend service account performs CR operations with elevated permissions

User tokens are NOT used for Kubernetes API calls. The `--openshift-delegate-urls` parameter
ensures the OAuth proxy performs authorization checks without requiring elevated user permissions.

Performance Considerations: ✅ No Impact

This change only affects the OAuth scope parameter. No performance implications expected.

Test Coverage: ⚠️ Missing

Required Tests

  1. Integration test: Full user flow (login → create session → view results)
  2. Negative test: Verify console access is blocked
  3. Negative test: Verify kubectl access is blocked
  4. API test: Ensure all backend endpoints still function

Recommended Test Script

#!/bin/bash
# test-oauth-scope-restriction.sh

# 1. Get user token after OAuth login
TOKEN=$(oc whoami -t)

# 2. Test vTeam API access (should succeed)
curl -f https://vteam-frontend.../api/projects || exit 1

# 3. Test console access (should fail)
if curl -f -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" https://console.../; then
  echo "ERROR: Console access should be blocked"
  exit 1
fi

# 4. Test kubectl access (should fail)
if oc get pods --token="$TOKEN" 2>&1 | grep -q "Forbidden"; then
  echo "✅ kubectl access correctly blocked"
else
  echo "ERROR: kubectl access should be blocked"
  exit 1
fi

echo "✅ All tests passed"

Deployment Risk: ⚠️ Medium-High

Risk Factors

  1. Breaking change potential: May break API operations if user tokens are required
  2. No rollback automation: Manual rollback required if issues occur
  3. Limited testing evidence: PR doesn't show test results

Risk Mitigation

  1. Deploy to dev/staging first: Test full user workflows before production
  2. Prepare rollback: Have the rollback command ready before deployment
  3. Monitor logs: Watch backend logs for 403/401 errors after deployment
  4. User communication: Notify users of potential disruption window

Recommendations

Before Merge

  1. Test on development cluster: Deploy to vteam-dev namespace and verify all workflows
  2. Verify delegate URLs: Confirm --openshift-delegate-urls handles authorization correctly with user:info scope
  3. ⚠️ Add integration test: Automate the testing checklist above
  4. ⚠️ Document authorization model: Clarify whether backend uses user tokens or service account for K8s operations
  5. ⚠️ Update CLAUDE.md: Add note about OAuth scope and its implications for backend auth

After Merge

  1. Monitor backend logs for authentication failures
  2. Collect user feedback on any access issues
  3. Update documentation based on production experience

Verdict: 🟡 Approve with Conditions

This PR implements an important security improvement, but needs verification that it doesn't break existing functionality. The code change itself is minimal and correct, but the interaction with the backend's user-scoped client pattern needs testing.

Approve if:

  • ✅ You've tested this on a dev cluster and verified all API operations work
  • ✅ You've confirmed the backend uses service account for CR operations (not user tokens)
  • ✅ You've verified --openshift-delegate-urls handles authorization correctly

Request changes if:

  • ❌ Backend API operations fail with 403 errors
  • ❌ User cannot create/view sessions after deployment
  • ❌ No testing has been performed yet

Questions for Author

  1. Have you tested this change on a running cluster?
  2. What were the test results for creating/viewing sessions with the restricted scope?
  3. Does the backend rely on user OAuth tokens for Kubernetes operations, or does it use a service account?
  4. Have you verified that --openshift-delegate-urls works correctly with user:info scope?

Great work on the comprehensive documentation! The security improvement is valuable, just want to ensure we don't inadvertently break existing functionality. 🔒

Relocated OAUTH_SCOPE_RESTRICTION.md to docs/ for better organization
alongside other documentation files.

Pull Request Review: OAuth Scope Restriction

Summary

This PR implements an important security improvement by restricting the OAuth scope from user:full to user:info, preventing vTeam users from gaining unintended cluster access while maintaining application authentication. The implementation is well-documented and follows security best practices.

✅ Strengths

1. Security Enhancement

  • Principle of Least Privilege: Correctly applies minimal permissions needed for app authentication
  • Attack Surface Reduction: Eliminates ability for app users to access cluster console or CLI
  • Clear Separation of Concerns: App authentication vs. cluster access are now properly separated

2. Excellent Documentation

  • Created comprehensive deployment guide (OAUTH_SCOPE_RESTRICTION.md) with:
    • Clear before/after comparison
    • Step-by-step deployment instructions
    • Verification procedures
    • Rollback instructions
    • Troubleshooting guidance
  • Updated existing OPENSHIFT_OAUTH.md with security context
  • Well-structured table comparing scope options

3. Minimal Code Change

  • Single-line change in production code (components/manifests/frontend-deployment.yaml:65)
  • Low risk of introducing bugs
  • Easy to review and understand

4. Good Commit Hygiene

  • Two logical commits: implementation + documentation reorganization
  • Clear commit messages with context

🔍 Observations & Recommendations

1. Backend Service Account Separation ⚠️

Current State: The change affects frontend OAuth proxy authentication.

Question: How does this interact with the backend's service account authentication pattern? Per CLAUDE.md:

REQUIRED: Always use GetK8sClientsForRequest(c) to get user-scoped K8s clients
Exception: Backend service account ONLY for CR writes and token minting

Recommendation: Add a note in the documentation clarifying that:

  • Frontend OAuth tokens are used for user authentication/authorization in the backend
  • Backend service account (separate from user OAuth tokens) handles CR operations
  • The scope change doesn't affect backend's ability to manage Kubernetes resources

2. Testing Verification ⚠️

Missing: No explicit test coverage mentioned for this security change.

Recommendation: Consider adding to the documentation:

# Test 1: Verify user can authenticate to vTeam
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_TOKEN" https://<route>/api/projects

# Test 2: Verify same token cannot access cluster API
oc --token=$USER_TOKEN get pods -n ambient-code
# Expected: Error from server (Forbidden)

Question for reviewers: Should this include integration tests that verify the scope restriction? (See components/backend/tests/integration/ pattern in CLAUDE.md)

3. Documentation Consistency 📝

Issue: docs/OPENSHIFT_OAUTH.md:62 references old route name:

ROUTE_HOST=$(oc -n ambient-code get route frontend -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}')

But line 12 uses:

oc -n ambient-code patch route frontend-route --type=merge

Recommendation: Verify the actual route name and make consistent throughout the document. Check with:

oc get routes -n ambient-code

4. Rollback Path Array Index ⚠️

Potential Issue: In OAUTH_SCOPE_RESTRICTION.md:98:

"path": "/spec/template/spec/containers/1/args/5"

This hardcodes the array index for the scope argument. If args order changes, this breaks.

Recommendation: Use a more resilient rollback method:

# Alternative: Edit and rollout (more reliable)
oc set env deployment/frontend -n ambient-code --containers=oauth-proxy SCOPE=user:full
# Then manually edit to update args

Or at minimum, add a warning:

⚠️ Note: The array index /args/5 assumes the current arg order. Verify with oc get deployment frontend -n ambient-code -o yaml before using.

5. Migration Path for Existing Deployments 📋

Question: What happens to existing user sessions when this is deployed?

Recommendation: Add to deployment guide:

## Session Handling
When deploying this change:
1. Existing OAuth cookies will remain valid but tokens will have old scope
2. Users will need to log out and log back in to receive new tokens with restricted scope
3. Consider: `oc delete secret frontend-oauth-config` to force new cookie generation (users will be logged out)

6. Scope Interaction with --openshift-delegate-urls 🤔

Current Config (frontend-deployment.yaml:66):

- --openshift-delegate-urls={"/":{"resource":"projects","verb":"list"}}

Question: Does this delegate URL check still work with user:info scope? The proxy is checking if users can list projects, but user:info doesn't grant that permission.

Recommendation:

  • Test that authentication flow still works correctly
  • Add clarification in documentation about how delegate URLs interact with scope
  • Consider if this needs to be updated or removed

📊 Security Impact Analysis

Before (user:full)

  • ✅ Authenticate to vTeam
  • ⚠️ Unintended: Access OpenShift console
  • ⚠️ Unintended: Use kubectl/oc with same token
  • ⚠️ Risk: Token leakage = cluster compromise

After (user:info)

  • ✅ Authenticate to vTeam
  • ✅ Read user profile
  • ❌ Cannot access console
  • ❌ Cannot use kubectl/oc
  • Improved: Token leakage = limited exposure

Risk Reduction: Significant improvement in security posture.

🐛 Potential Issues

1. Backward Compatibility

  • Risk: Existing deployments may rely on user:full for specific features
  • Mitigation: Documentation includes rollback instructions
  • Recommendation: Test in staging before production deployment

2. Documentation Duplication

  • Observation: OAUTH_SCOPE_RESTRICTION.md and OPENSHIFT_OAUTH.md have overlapping content
  • Recommendation: Consider consolidating or cross-referencing more explicitly:
    • Keep OPENSHIFT_OAUTH.md as the main setup guide
    • Keep OAUTH_SCOPE_RESTRICTION.md as deployment/migration guide for this specific change
    • Add prominent link from one to the other

✅ Code Quality Checklist

Per CLAUDE.md standards:

  • ✅ Single-line YAML change follows K8s conventions
  • ✅ No Go backend changes (N/A)
  • ✅ No frontend TypeScript changes (N/A)
  • ✅ Security best practices applied
  • ✅ Documentation provided
  • ⚠️ Test coverage not explicitly mentioned
  • ⚠️ Integration test not added (see Testing Verification above)

🎯 Final Recommendation

Status: ✅ APPROVE with minor suggestions

This is a well-implemented security enhancement with excellent documentation. The concerns raised are mostly clarifications and edge cases rather than blocking issues.

Before Merging:

  1. Critical: Verify --openshift-delegate-urls still functions correctly with user:info scope
  2. Important: Test actual user authentication flow end-to-end
  3. Nice-to-have: Address documentation consistency issues (route names)
  4. Nice-to-have: Add integration test for scope verification

Post-Merge:

  1. Monitor first production deployment closely
  2. Verify no user authentication issues
  3. Update CLAUDE.md if any new patterns emerge from this change

Code Review: OAuth Scope Restriction

I've reviewed PR #220 which implements OAuth scope restriction from user:full to user:info. This is a security-focused change with comprehensive test coverage. Here's my detailed feedback:


✅ Strengths

1. Security Improvement

  • Impact: Excellent security hardening by restricting OAuth scope to prevent cluster access
  • Scope Change: user:fulluser:info properly limits user permissions to app-only authentication
  • Documentation: Outstanding documentation in OAUTH_SCOPE_RESTRICTION.md with clear deployment and rollback instructions

2. Comprehensive Test Coverage

  • Integration Tests: Well-structured integration tests covering all critical scenarios
  • Test Organization: Proper use of subtests and helper functions
  • Test Documentation: Clear comments explaining test intent and expected behavior

3. Code Quality

  • Helper Abstraction: Excellent reusable helper functions in helpers.go
  • Error Handling: Proper use of require and assert from testify
  • Resource Cleanup: Good cleanup logic with configurable behavior via CLEANUP_RESOURCES

🔍 Issues to Address

HIGH PRIORITY

1. Variable Shadowing in Test Loop (oauth_scopes_test.go:202)

for _, tc := range testCases {
    t.Run(tc.name, func(t *testing.T) {
        err := tc.operation()  // ⚠️ 'tc' shadows the outer TestConfig variable

Problem: The loop variable tc shadows the *TestConfig parameter, causing confusion.

Fix: Rename the loop variable:

for _, testCase := range testCases {
    t.Run(testCase.name, func(t *testing.T) {
        err := testCase.operation()
        if err != nil {
            assert.True(t, errors.IsForbidden(err), "Expected Forbidden error, got: %v", err)
            t.Logf("✓ Cluster operation correctly blocked: %s", testCase.name)
        } else {
            t.Errorf("⚠️ Cluster operation succeeded when it should be blocked: %s", testCase.name)
        }
    })
}

Location: components/backend/tests/integration/oauth_scopes_test.go:202-214


MEDIUM PRIORITY

2. Hard-Coded Sleep for RBAC Propagation

Multiple instances of time.Sleep(2 * time.Second) for RBAC propagation:

  • oauth_scopes_test.go:105
  • oauth_scopes_test.go:224
  • oauth_scopes_test.go:276

Problem: Hard-coded sleeps are brittle and can cause flaky tests in slow environments.

Recommendation: Implement a retry-with-backoff pattern:

// WaitForRBACPropagation retries an operation until it succeeds or times out
func (tc *TestConfig) WaitForRBACPropagation(t *testing.T, ctx context.Context, checkFunc func() error) error {
    t.Helper()
    
    timeout := 30 * time.Second
    interval := 1 * time.Second
    deadline := time.Now().Add(timeout)
    
    for time.Now().Before(deadline) {
        if err := checkFunc(); err == nil {
            return nil
        }
        time.Sleep(interval)
    }
    
    return fmt.Errorf("RBAC propagation timed out after %v", timeout)
}

Usage:

// Instead of time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
err := tc.WaitForRBACPropagation(t, ctx, func() error {
    allowed := tc.PerformSelfSubjectAccessReview(t, ctx, "agenticsessions", "list", tc.Namespace)
    if !allowed {
        return fmt.Errorf("RBAC not ready")
    }
    return nil
})
require.NoError(t, err, "RBAC failed to propagate")

3. Incomplete Namespace Cleanup

The Cleanup method deletes ServiceAccounts and RoleBindings but doesn't delete the namespace itself.

Current Code (helpers.go:220-248):

func (tc *TestConfig) Cleanup(t *testing.T, ctx context.Context) {
    // ... deletes SA and RB only
    t.Logf("Cleanup completed")
}

Recommendation: Add namespace cleanup option:

func (tc *TestConfig) Cleanup(t *testing.T, ctx context.Context, cleanupNamespace bool) {
    t.Helper()

    if !tc.CleanupEnabled {
        t.Logf("Cleanup disabled, keeping test resources in namespace: %s", tc.Namespace)
        return
    }

    t.Logf("Cleaning up test resources in namespace: %s", tc.Namespace)

    // Delete RoleBindings
    for _, rbName := range tc.RoleBindings {
        err := tc.K8sClient.RbacV1().RoleBindings(tc.Namespace).Delete(ctx, rbName, metav1.DeleteOptions{})
        if err != nil && !errors.IsNotFound(err) {
            t.Logf("Warning: Failed to delete role binding %s: %v", rbName, err)
        }
    }

    // Delete ServiceAccounts
    for _, saName := range tc.ServiceAccounts {
        err := tc.K8sClient.CoreV1().ServiceAccounts(tc.Namespace).Delete(ctx, saName, metav1.DeleteOptions{})
        if err != nil && !errors.IsNotFound(err) {
            t.Logf("Warning: Failed to delete service account %s: %v", saName, err)
        }
    }

    // Optionally delete namespace if it was created for testing
    if cleanupNamespace {
        err := tc.K8sClient.CoreV1().Namespaces().Delete(ctx, tc.Namespace, metav1.DeleteOptions{})
        if err != nil && !errors.IsNotFound(err) {
            t.Logf("Warning: Failed to delete namespace %s: %v", tc.Namespace, err)
        } else {
            t.Logf("Deleted test namespace: %s", tc.Namespace)
        }
    }

    t.Logf("Cleanup completed")
}

Note: Update defer calls: defer tc.Cleanup(t, ctx, true)


4. Missing Context Timeout in Test Functions

Tests use context.Background() without timeout, which could hang indefinitely.

Recommendation: Add timeouts to test contexts:

func TestOAuthScopeRestriction(t *testing.T) {
    if testing.Short() {
        t.Skip("Skipping integration test in short mode")
    }

    ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Minute)
    defer cancel()
    
    tc := NewTestConfig(t)
    defer tc.Cleanup(t, ctx)
    
    // ... rest of test
}

LOW PRIORITY (Nitpicks)

5. Token Unused in testVerifyAgenticSessionAccess

The token variable is retrieved but only logged, not used (oauth_scopes_test.go:108).

Current:

token := tc.GetServiceAccountToken(t, ctx, saName)
require.NotEmpty(t, token, "Failed to get service account token")
// token is never used again

Options:

  1. Remove if not needed: _ = tc.GetServiceAccountToken(t, ctx, saName)
  2. Use it: Create a user-scoped client like in testVerifyUserInfoScope
  3. Add comment: // Token retrieved to ensure SA is ready

6. Inconsistent Comment Style

Some functions have detailed godoc comments, others don't.

Examples:

  • TestOAuthScopeRestriction has full documentation (lines 19-26)
  • TestOAuthDelegateURLs has minimal documentation (line 255)

Recommendation: Add comprehensive godoc comments to all exported test functions.


7. Hard-Coded CRD References

The test assumes specific ClusterRoles exist (ambient-project-edit, ambient-project-view).

Current (oauth_scopes_test.go:102):

tc.CreateRoleBinding(t, ctx, "test-session-edit-binding", "ambient-project-edit", saName)

Recommendation: Add validation or skip tests if CRDs/ClusterRoles don't exist:

// Check if required ClusterRole exists
_, err := tc.K8sClient.RbacV1().ClusterRoles().Get(ctx, "ambient-project-edit", metav1.GetOptions{})
if errors.IsNotFound(err) {
    t.Skip("Required ClusterRole 'ambient-project-edit' not found, skipping test")
}
require.NoError(t, err, "Failed to check for ClusterRole")

📋 Code Quality Checklist

Based on CLAUDE.md guidelines:

  • Error Handling: Proper use of explicit error returns
  • Testing Pattern: Table-driven tests with subtests
  • No Panics: No panic() in test code
  • Formatting: Code appears properly formatted (should verify with gofmt)
  • ⚠️ Variable Naming: Issue with shadowing in loop
  • Helper Functions: Good use of t.Helper()
  • Resource Management: Proper cleanup patterns
  • ⚠️ Timeouts: Missing context timeouts

🔒 Security Considerations

Validated ✅

  • OAuth scope correctly restricted to user:info
  • Tests verify cluster operations are blocked
  • Namespace isolation properly tested
  • Documentation clearly explains security implications

Additional Recommendations

  1. Add E2E Security Test: Consider adding a test that actually attempts console login with a user:info token to verify the restriction works end-to-end
  2. Monitoring: Consider adding metrics/logging to track authentication failures due to insufficient scope
  3. Documentation: Add a troubleshooting section for common OAuth issues

📊 Performance Considerations

  • Test Duration: Integration tests may be slow due to K8s API calls and RBAC propagation waits
  • Recommendation: Ensure tests can run in parallel where possible (they currently can with proper namespace isolation)
  • CI/CD Impact: Tests should only run on clusters with proper CRDs installed (good use of testing.Short())

📝 Documentation Review

OAUTH_SCOPE_RESTRICTION.md ✅

  • Excellent deployment guide with clear before/after comparison
  • Good verification steps
  • Comprehensive troubleshooting section
  • Clear rollback instructions

OPENSHIFT_OAUTH.md ✅

  • Good addition of security section explaining scope limitations
  • Clear table comparing different scope levels

🎯 Recommendations Summary

Must Fix (Blocking)

  1. ✅ Fix variable shadowing in test loop (oauth_scopes_test.go:202)

Should Fix (Before Merge)

  1. ⚠️ Replace hard-coded sleeps with retry logic for RBAC propagation
  2. ⚠️ Add context timeouts to test functions
  3. ⚠️ Add validation for required ClusterRoles or skip tests gracefully

Nice to Have (Post-Merge)

  1. 📌 Implement namespace cleanup option
  2. 📌 Add comprehensive godoc comments to all test functions
  3. 📌 Consider E2E test with actual OAuth proxy

✨ Overall Assessment

Quality: 8.5/10

This is a well-implemented security improvement with excellent test coverage and documentation. The code follows established patterns from CLAUDE.md and demonstrates good understanding of Kubernetes RBAC testing.

Main concerns:

  1. Variable shadowing bug (easy fix)
  2. Flaky test potential from hard-coded sleeps
  3. Missing context timeouts

Once the variable shadowing is fixed and RBAC propagation is made more robust, this PR will be in excellent shape for merge.
