Walkthrough

This PR advances OpenShift HyperShift CI/operator configurations from version 4.21 to 4.22. It includes renaming release definitions from initial-421 to initial-422, removing legacy release entries, updating release candidate versions, and adjusting E2E test job identifiers and their OpenShift image dependencies across configuration files.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Release Configuration Updates ci-operator/config/openshift/hypershift/openshift-hypershift-main.yaml, openshift-hypershift-release-4.22.yaml, openshift-hypershift-release-4.23.yaml	Renamed initial-421 release to initial-422, updated candidate OCP versions to 4.22, removed latest-417 definition, adjusted latest-418 through latest-422 version mappings, and updated test job references (e2e-aks-4-21/e2e-aws-4-21 → e2e-aks-4-22/e2e-aws-4-22) with corresponding image dependency shifts.
Presubmit Job Configuration Updates ci-operator/jobs/openshift/hypershift/openshift-hypershift-main-presubmits.yaml, openshift-hypershift-release-4.23-presubmits.yaml	Updated presubmit job identifiers, contexts, rerun commands, target arguments, and trigger regexes from e2e-*-4-21 to e2e-*-4-22 for both AKS and AWS test suites.

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Title check	✅ Passed	The title 'hypershift: fix jobs after branching' directly addresses the main change: updating hypershift CI job configurations and release definitions after version branching from 4.21 to 4.22.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	The custom check for 'Stable and Deterministic Test Names' is designed to verify Ginkgo test definitions in Go code. This PR modifies only YAML CI/CD configuration files and does not include Go test source files or Ginkgo test definitions, making the check not applicable.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	PR only modifies YAML CI/CD configuration files; no Ginkgo test code present.
Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	This pull request does not add any new Ginkgo e2e tests. All changes are exclusively in CI-operator configuration YAML files that define job metadata, release dependencies, and version mappings. Since the custom check applies only when new Ginkgo e2e tests are added, the check is not applicable and therefore passes.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	This PR contains only CI configuration file changes, not new Ginkgo e2e test code. The check for SNO-incompatible test assumptions is not applicable.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	Modified files are CI-operator configuration and Prow job definitions containing no deployment manifests, operator code, controllers, or scheduling constraints.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	PR modifies only CI/CD configuration YAML files; OTE Binary Stdout Contract check applies only to test code and binaries, which are absent.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The custom check for IPv6 and disconnected network test compatibility is not applicable to this pull request, which only modifies YAML CI/CD configuration files without adding new Ginkgo e2e test code.
