In `@enhancements/machine-config/bootc-operator-integration.md`:
- Around line 34-35: Update the bootc integration summary and corresponding
goals to name only the initially supported topologies, explicitly excluding
Hypershift and MicroShift; replace the broad “all supported topologies” wording
while preserving the existing scope of the transition from rpm-ostree.
- Around line 484-486: Update the BootcOperator feature-gating documentation to
state that DevPreviewNoUpgrade permanently blocks cluster upgrades and is
incompatible with the documented CVO upgrade and version-skew behavior. Define a
supported promotion path from DevPreviewNoUpgrade to an upgradeable feature set.
- Around line 664-666: Update the bootc-operator failure behavior specification
to define the concrete timeout, heartbeat, or controller-health condition that
detects missing BootcNode status, transitions the affected pool to Degraded, and
emits a remediation signal when nodes remain ineligible.
- Around line 179-189: Update the bootc integration state machine and sequence
diagram so the controller sets BootcNode.spec.desiredImageState to Booted after
MCD drain and before the reboot; ensure the daemon then applies the staged image
via bootc switch --from-downloaded --apply. Update the flows corresponding to
the existing reboot sequences and preserve daemon ownership of status updates.
- Around line 244-248: Update the bootc-operator DaemonSet configuration to
target only managed BootcNodePool nodes rather than all Linux nodes: define and
apply the managed-node selector alongside the Linux selector, document its
add/remove lifecycle, and add coverage that verifies the rendered DaemonSet
contains the selector.
- Around line 280-283: Document the release-image handoff from osImageURL and
machine-config-osimageurl through NodeController updating
BootcNodePool.spec.image.ref, bootc-operator resolving
BootcNodePool.status.targetDigest, and propagating that digest to each
BootcNode.spec.desiredImage. Add an integration test that changes the release
image source and verifies digest propagation plus the staging gate for every
BootcNode.
- Around line 297-300: The MCO-owned reboot flow must honor
BootcNodePool.rebootPolicy: define the value MCO writes and have MCD consume it,
requiring both AllowSoftReboot and bootc soft-reboot capability before selecting
a soft reboot. Update the proposal’s contracts at the sections corresponding to
the MCO write path and MCD soft-reboot decision, while retaining hard reboot
behavior for RebootOnly.

- Around line 667-672: Expand the Upgrade section to define the
bootc-to-rpm-ostree handoff when BootcOperator is disabled, covering Staged,
Rebooting, and post-boot nodes. Specify how MCO clears in-progress cordons and
rollout state before resuming direct rpm-ostree management, and add tests
covering feature-gate disablement during staging, drain, reboot, and post-boot
states.
- Around line 706-710: Update the rollout timeout behavior described around
BootcNode status so an unchanged staging condition with Idle=False and
reason=Staged is not treated as a heartbeat or timed out while awaiting an MCO
reboot slot. Use an explicit status freshness signal, or restrict the 10-minute
timeout to a recorded staging attempt; preserve degradation and rollout halting
only for genuinely stale or unreconcilable nodes.
- Around line 252-254: Align the managed-node label across the BOC and BOD
proposal: define one canonical key/value and use it consistently in the
DaemonSet nodeSelector, platform sections, and BootcNodePool label
application/removal behavior. Ensure the rendered DaemonSet selector matches the
label written by the controller so BOD staging can target managed nodes.
- Around line 469-470: Update the reboot policy selection to use
BootcNode.status.staged.softRebootCapable from the staged entry matching the
target digest whenever applying a staged OS image; retain
BootcNode.status.booted.softRebootCapable only for MachineConfig-only reboots
without a staged image, while preserving RebootOnly’s hard-reboot behavior.

bootc-dev bootc-operator BootcNodePool BootcNode controller selector ownership conflict deletion existing BootcNode
💡 Result:
In the bootc-operator architecture, BootcNodePools are used to group nodes and define the OS image they should run [1]. The controller watches BootcNodePools and creates or updates BootcNode resources for matching nodes [1]. The BootcNode resource effectively acts as the interface between the controller and the node-level daemon, which executes operations on the host [1]. An ownership conflict or deletion issue regarding BootcNodes typically relates to how Kubernetes handles OwnerReferences and Garbage Collection (GC) [2][3]. 1. Ownership Model: When a controller creates a resource (like a BootcNode) on behalf of a parent resource (like a BootcNodePool), it should set an OwnerReference [2][3]. This ensures that when the parent resource is deleted, Kubernetes automatically triggers the garbage collection of the children [2][3]. 2. Deletion Conflicts: If you attempt to delete an existing BootcNode manually while a BootcNodePool controller is still actively managing it, the controller will likely notice the absence of the BootcNode during its next reconciliation loop and recreate it to restore the desired state [1]. 3. Preventing Cascading Issues: If a BootcNodePool is deleted, the controller should ensure that the BootcNodes it owns are cleaned up properly [2][3]. If a conflict arises where multiple controllers or users attempt to manage the same BootcNode, it is important to remember that Kubernetes only allows one controller to be the primary manager for an OwnerReference [3]. If you are experiencing unexpected behavior with BootcNode deletion or ownership conflicts: - Verify that the BootcNode's metadata.ownerReferences field is correctly pointing to the expected BootcNodePool. - Check the controller logs to see if it is repeatedly attempting to recreate a deleted BootcNode, which indicates it is still part of the pool's selection criteria (e.g., node labels) [1]. - If you intend to stop the operator from managing a specific node, ensure the node no longer matches the selector defined in the BootcNodePool [1]. For further debugging, inspect the BootcNode resource for any finalizers or ownerReferences that may be blocking or causing unintended deletion behavior [2][4].

Define cleanup for existing BootcNode objects when selector conflicts occur. If an administrator pool already owns a BootcNode, the conflict path skips creation and does not transfer ownership or delete the existing object. The original pool can therefore continue reconciling it while the MCO pool is declared authoritative. Define ownership transfer or deletion, clear active update state, and test conflicts introduced after initial ownership.

bootc upgrade --soft-reboot=auto documentation auto soft reboot fallback hard reboot
💡 Result:
When using the bootc upgrade command with the --soft-reboot=auto option, the system is configured to prioritize a soft reboot—which restarts the userspace without a full hardware reboot—whenever it is possible [1][2][3]. If a soft reboot is not possible (for example, if the update includes a new kernel or changes to kernel arguments), the system will automatically fall back to a traditional, full hardware reboot [1][4]. This behavior is designed to ensure that the system update is applied regardless of whether the more efficient, userspace-only soft reboot can be performed [2][4]. In contrast, using the --soft-reboot=required option will cause the command to fail with an error if a soft reboot is not possible, preventing an unexpected or unoptimized reboot in environments where you strictly require the performance benefits of a soft reboot [2][4].

bootc-dev bootc-operator ARCHITECTURE.md BootcNode Idle Staged Degraded conditions
💡 Result:
In the context of the bootc-operator, a BootcNode is a Kubernetes Custom Resource (CR) used to manage and report the state of a node running bootc [1][2]. The operator's controller and a daemon (DaemonSet) communicate exclusively through these resources: the controller writes the desired state to the spec, and the daemon writes the actual state of the node to the status field [2]. While the BootcNode status does not necessarily use a fixed, hardcoded enum string called "Idle," "Staged," or "Degraded" across all versions, these terms represent functional states often reflected in the status.conditions of a BootcNode [3][2]. 1. Idle: Typically represents a state where the node is reconciled with its desired image and no updates are currently in progress [2]. 2. Staged: Indicates that a new container image has been successfully pulled and is ready to be applied on the next reboot [1][2]. 3. Degraded: Signifies that the node is not in the expected state, often due to a failed update, rollout issue, or inconsistency between the current and target image [2]. The operator uses status.conditions to surface these states to the Kubernetes control plane [3][2]. For example, a condition might show status: "False" with a reason like "RolloutInProgress" when a node is in the process of updating, which may involve staging an image and subsequently rebooting [2]. Because the operator acts as a state machine managing cordoning, draining, and rebooting, these conditions provide observability into where a node currently sits within that cycle [2]. For detailed implementation logic, the bootc-operator ARCHITECTURE.md file explicitly notes that the controller monitors BootcNode status.conditions to determine how to proceed with the rollout for each node in a pool [3]. Always refer to the official repository's latest source code for the definitive, current status condition definitions, as these may evolve [3][1].

Gate node selection on a healthy staged state.
A matching BootcNode.status.staged.imageDigest does not prove that staging completed. Idle=False with reason Staging or Rebooting is still in progress, and Degraded=True is independent of the staged entry. Gate staged-image updates on Idle=False, reason=Staged, Degraded=False, and matching BootcNode.spec.desiredImage. Define a separate healthy gate for MachineConfig-only updates.

238, Update the MCO NodeController candidate-selection gate so staged-image
updates require Idle=False with reason Staged, Degraded=False, a matching
staged.imageDigest and targetDigest, and matching BootcNode.spec.desiredImage.
Define and apply a separate healthy gate for MachineConfig-only updates where
the node is already booted into the target image.

This enhancement proposes integrating `bootc-operator` into the OpenShift release payload, with the MCO delegating transactional OS image staging and status management while retaining control of node draining, configuration, and reboots. It enables parallel image pre-staging, soft reboots, confidential-computing capabilities, and a declarative API-based approach to modernize and simplify node OS updates.
