From 84dcf99734590c2d8bce7b2cb5f9cf8629a26016 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aleksei Sviridkin Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 14:36:23 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 01/17] refactor(engine): drop dead Insecure field from Options MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The field has been declared on engine.Options since the file was created (c567135, 2024-05) but was never read by Render or any helper. apply.go and template.go were assigning it from their respective --insecure flags; apply_test.go asserted the assignment. Nothing else looked at the value. The runtime guarantee — --insecure (maintenance mode) bypasses FailIfMultiNodes — is provided by WithClientMaintenance not injecting nodes into the gRPC context, not by anything inside engine.Render. The dead field added nothing on top of that. Drop the field, the assignments, and the assertion. golangci-lint is clean.

Any future tweak to the direct-patch branch could silently swallow an error — exactly the shadowing class that already bit the project once (commit b34781e). Switch the template-render branch to the same local-scope idiom and delete the outer check. Both branches now read identically and there is no dead code path to misuse.

Per-node hostname, secondary interfaces with deviceSelector, VIP placement, etcd extraArgs, certSANs and time servers all silently vanished — a multi-NIC control plane could not bootstrap because the etcd advertised-subnet interface was missing from the applied config. Add engine.MergeFileAsPatch using Talos configpatcher (LoadPatches + Apply). Apply the node file as a strategic merge patch over the rendered template in both: - apply.go template-rendering branch (after engine.Render, before c.ApplyConfiguration) - template.go templateWithFiles (after generateOutput, before inplace-write or stdout) Same merge step in both keeps the documented piped flow `talm template -f X | talm apply -f -` carrying the node body through end to end. A modeline-only node file (no Talos config body) becomes a patch with empty content; LoadPatches still returns a patch object, but Apply has nothing to merge — every rendered field round-trips through the configpatcher's loader unchanged. TestMergeFileAsPatch covers both paths: the body-overlay case asserts the custom hostname and the deviceSelector secondary interface land in the merged output and the auto-generated hostname is gone; the modeline-only case asserts every rendered field survives.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit PR #119 moved talm apply's template rendering from offline to online. The new online path runs inside withApplyClient, whose wrapWithNodeContext helper batches every node from GlobalArgs.Nodes into a single gRPC context. engine.Render then calls helpers.FailIfMultiNodes which rejects multi-node contexts, so a node file with `nodes=[ip1, ip2]` (or `--nodes A,B,C` on the command line) fails before any rendering happens. The pre-#119 direct-patch flow handled multi-node fan-out at the wire level inside ApplyConfiguration, so this never surfaced. Render once per node instead. Add applyTemplatesPerNode that takes a nodes slice and injection points for the render and apply functions, then iterates: for each node it builds a single-node context with client.WithNodes, calls engine.Render (which now sees one node and satisfies the FailIfMultiNodes guard), merges the modeline'd file as a patch, and applies the result. Per-node iteration is also the correct semantic — discovery via lookup() resolves each node's own network topology rather than mashing everything together. Split withApplyClient into a public form (still wraps with the legacy multi-node context for the direct-patch branch) and withApplyClientBare which skips the wrap so the per-node loop can attach contexts itself. Three tests pin the contract: that each render and apply call sees exactly one node in its outgoing-context metadata; that engine.Render with a batched multi-node context still errors (the pre-condition the loop exists to satisfy); that an empty nodes slice errors loudly rather than silently doing nothing. Manually verified the loop assertion fails when the per-iteration context is built with all nodes instead of one.

Fixes: - engine.MergeFileAsPatch now short-circuits modeline-only patch files (BLOCKER 2). The Talos config-patcher misclassifies a YAML-comment-only file as an empty JSON6902 patch, then refuses any multi-document rendered config (the v1.12+ output format) with 'JSON6902 patches are not supported for multi-document machine configuration'. Detect 'no meaningful YAML content' before LoadPatches and return rendered unchanged in that case. Fix also covers empty files and files with only comments / document separators / whitespace. - talm template no longer routes its output through MergeFileAsPatch (BLOCKER 1, BLOCKER 5, MEDIUM 8). The patcher round-trips through its config loader, normalising YAML formatting, sorting keys, and (worst of all) stripping every YAML comment — which deletes the talm modeline ('# talm: ...') and the AUTOGENERATED warning that downstream commands rely on. Removing the template-side merge keeps stdout and --in-place outputs intact. The merge stays in apply because that output goes straight to ApplyConfiguration where formatting and comments do not matter. - The pipe-flow comment that motivated the template-side merge is gone (MAJOR 6). talm apply does not in fact accept stdin via '-f -' (ExpandFilePaths only handles real paths), so the documented workflow was a fiction. - Insecure (maintenance) mode now opens a fresh single-endpoint client per node (BLOCKER 4). WithClientMaintenance creates one client with every endpoint and gRPC then round-robins ApplyConfiguration across them, so most nodes never received the config. Narrow GlobalArgs.Nodes to the iteration's node and restore it via defer; this requires splitting applyTemplatesPerNode's client-acquisition into an injected openClientFunc with two production implementations (openClientPerNodeMaintenance, openClientPerNodeAuth). - TestApplyTemplatesPerNode_BatchedContextIsRejected was renamed and rewritten as TestApplyTemplatesPerNode_NeverBatchesNodes, which asserts the loop itself never produces a multi-node ctx (MAJOR 7). The previous test happened to call engine.Render and pass; it would not have caught a regression in applyTemplatesPerNode. - Two new tests cover the insecure path (TestApplyTemplatesPerNode_MaintenanceModeOpensFreshClientPerNode and TestOpenClientPerNodeMaintenance_NarrowsAndRestoresGlobalNodes). TestMergeFileAsPatch grew three sub-tests covering multi-doc patching, empty files, and comments-only files. All five new tests fail without the corresponding fix. - Doc comments cleaned up (MINORS 9, 10, 11): the FailIfMultiNodes rationale lives in one place (applyTemplatesPerNode); MergeFileAsPatch wraps the out.Bytes() error with file context; withApplyClient and withApplyClientBare now describe what they actually do.

No TOCTOU window between the empty-detection check and patch loading. - New TestMergeFileAsPatch sub-test covers the realistic Talos v1.12+ apply scenario the previous test set missed: multi-document rendered config (legacy machine/cluster doc plus typed HostnameConfig and LinkConfig docs) overlaid by a non-empty strategic-merge patch in the node file. The assertion checks that the legacy machine doc absorbs the patch and the sibling typed docs survive untouched. - New TestTemplateAndApplyDiverge_NodeBodyOverlayLimitation pins the intentional divergence between talm template and talm apply for files with a non-empty body. Apply overlays the body via the config-patcher before sending; template emits the rendered bytes verbatim so the modeline and the AUTOGENERATED-warning comment survive in stdout/in- place output. A future patch that tries to make template match apply will trip this test. - openClientPerNodeAuth now uses client.WithNode (single-target metadata) instead of client.WithNodes (aggregation metadata). The per-iteration intent is one node, not a collection of one — naming matches semantics. Test helper nodesFromOutgoingCtx reads either key so the assertions stay valid. - Removed all internal-tracker references and review-round annotations from test docstrings. Tests are now self-describing: each one names the contract it pins, not the issue ticket that motivated it.

A node file whose modeline targets multiple nodes with a non-empty body (pinned hostname, address, VIP, etc.) therefore stamped the same value onto every machine — the opposite of what the overlay feature is for. Reject the combination up-front in applyTemplatesPerNode: when more than one target is scheduled and engine.NodeFileHasOverlay reports the file carries a real body below its modeline, surface an error that names the file, the targets, and the remediation (split into one file per node or drop the per-node fields). Modeline-only files remain allowed — they are the common bootstrap shape where the same rendered template lands on N nodes. Expose engine.NodeFileHasOverlay so the command layer can peek at the file without reading it twice or duplicating isEffectivelyEmptyYAML.

Also pin the synchronous-read assumption for openClientPerNodeMaintenance: the GlobalArgs.Nodes narrowing only works because mkClient (WithClientMaintenance in production) reads the global before the action returns.
