TL;DR

Publish a small, versioned NVCA storage catalog with both NVCA Operator charts. Each exact CSI provisioner records only:

  • a provider ID;
  • evidence-backed Kubernetes PVC access modes;
  • regular and Helm model-cache transitions.

NVMesh uses transition nvmesh for both workflows. Weka, OCI FSS, and OCI Lustre remain disabled. Container cache is outside NVCA and is not represented.

This PR installs and validates the catalog. It does not wire the catalog into runtime selection.

Configuration contract

The chart installs ConfigMap/nvcf-storage-capabilities in the Helm release namespace and packages its JSON Schema:

drivers:
  <exact-csi-provisioner>:
    provider: <provider-id>
    accessModes:
      - <qualified-kubernetes-access-mode>
    transitions:
      regularModelCache: <implemented-transition-or-disabled>
      helmModelCache: <implemented-transition-or-disabled>

disabled means the workflow is disabled; a driver may still list qualified access modes. The catalog deliberately excludes expansion, snapshots, clones, topology, container cache, and other general CSI capabilities.

Managed deployment configuration renders one provider as stable StorageClass/nvcf-sc with Retain. Deployment tooling owns CSI parameters; NVCA owns model-cache transitions.

The current catalog records:

  • NVMesh: RWO and ROX; regular and Helm transitions nvmesh;
  • Weka: qualified RWX and ROX; both transitions disabled;
  • OCI FSS: qualified RWX; both transitions disabled;
  • OCI Lustre: no qualified PVC mode yet; both transitions disabled.

A read-only Pod mount of an RWX claim is not ROX evidence.

Runtime boundary

Editing this ConfigMap cannot enable a provider today because reconciliation does not load it. Runtime work remains in #1326 and the included SDD. The target design:

  • selects by the exact live nvcf-sc provisioner;
  • persists one ModelCacheBinding per (workflow, sharingDomain, cacheHandle) before storage side effects;
  • records per-request binding references and cleanup finalizers;
  • treats non-disabled transitions as an operator assertion backed by external qualification evidence;
  • requires a provider-supported, no-copy cross-namespace reader mapping with distinct CSI handles.

Included

  • public v1alpha1 catalog and Draft 2020-12 JSON Schema;
  • strict Go loader and semantic validator;
  • identical source and release chart payloads;
  • schema enforcement that only NVMesh can select nvmesh;
  • negative tests for missing/null/unknown/duplicate modes, unknown fields, container cache, and transition misuse;
  • storage-agnostic architecture SDD;
  • corrections to the current implementation SDD.

Validation

  • focused Bazel storage-catalog tests: pass;
  • full src/compute-plane-services/nvca/scripts/lint_helm.sh: pass;
  • Fern documentation validation: zero errors; unauthenticated redirects check skipped;
  • source/release catalog and schema SHA-256 parity: pass;
  • git diff --check, added-line ASCII, and public-safety scans: pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a versioned NVCF storage capability catalog, publishes it through both Helm charts, adds strict NVCA loading and validation, and extends Go and Helm checks for schema, content, parity, and rendering failures.

Changes

Storage capability catalog

Layer / File(s) Summary
Catalog schema and driver entries
deploy/helm/.../files/*, src/compute-plane-services/nvca/deployments/nvca-operator/files/*
Defines catalog structure, access modes, transition strategies, validation rules, and entries for NVMe/TCP, Weka, OCI FSS, and OCI Lustre.
Helm ConfigMap publication and build wiring
deploy/helm/.../templates/*, src/compute-plane-services/nvca/deployments/nvca-operator/templates/*, src/compute-plane-services/nvca/BUILD.bazel, src/compute-plane-services/nvca/pkg/storage/BUILD.bazel
Publishes the catalog as nvcf-storage-capabilities and fails rendering when the catalog file is missing. Bazel targets include the catalog and implementation files.
NVCA loading and validation
src/compute-plane-services/nvca/pkg/storage/storage_capabilities.go
Adds catalog identifiers, strict ConfigMap loading, YAML parsing, and validation for metadata, drivers, access modes, transitions, and NVMesh restrictions.
Automated checks and documentation
src/compute-plane-services/nvca/pkg/storage/storage_capabilities_test.go, src/compute-plane-services/nvca/scripts/lint_helm.sh, src/compute-plane-services/nvca/scripts/requirements-lint.txt, dependencies.md, */README.md, docs/dev/*, fern/versions/dev.yml
Adds loading, validation, schema, parity, and rendering checks. Documents catalog scope, current runtime wiring, target architecture, and adds the architecture page to development navigation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c8bc1

The catalog is installed and validated, but the published schema can accept provider strategies or whitespace values that the operator later rejects, while new lint output violates the repository's ASCII-only rule. Merge readiness is moderate until these issues are corrected or explicitly accepted.

12-17: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Schema accepts catalogs that NVCA validation rejects. validateStorageCapabilityCatalog restricts nvmesh-rox-rebind and samba to the NVMesh provisioner and rejects a whitespace-only provider. Neither rule exists in the schema, so the Helm schema gate passes input that fails at runtime. Both chart copies must stay byte-identical because src/compute-plane-services/nvca/scripts/lint_helm.sh compares them with diff -u.

  • src/compute-plane-services/nvca/deployments/nvca-operator/files/nvcf-storage-capabilities-v1alpha1.schema.json#L12-L17: list nvmesh-csi.excelero.com under drivers.properties, and constrain regularModelCache.strategy and helmModelCache.strategy to disabled in drivers.additionalProperties; add "pattern": "\\S" to provider at Line 76.
  • deploy/helm/nvca-operator/nvca-operator/files/nvcf-storage-capabilities-v1alpha1.schema.json#L12-L17: apply the identical change so chart parity holds.
