What this PR does

Register the BenchmarkJob reconciler and validating webhook again. Preserve the control-plane role gate and use the manager's configured event broadcaster. Add one test in the existing manager test file that checks every webhook path declared in the chart and in config/webhook/manifests.yaml is registered in main.go.

Why we need it

Install from main and apply a valid BenchmarkJob. Admission fails with:

failed calling webhook "benchmarkjob.ome-webhook-server.validator": failed to call webhook: the server could not find the requested resource

#804 removed the controller setup and webhook registration. Its description listed “The benchmark controller and its config surface” under “Kept as-is.” The chart still declares this path with failurePolicy: Fail (charts/ome-resources/templates/ome-controller/webhooks/benchmarkjobvalidator.yaml:14-15), as does config/webhook/manifests.yaml:160-161. Without the reconciler, admitted BenchmarkJobs also have no controller to create their Jobs.

Overlap checked: no focused restoration found. Open #414 proposes a broader manager split and predates #804. Open #1203 and #838 touch the manager but leave these registrations absent. Release refs retain both registrations; this fix targets main.

How to test

go test -p 2 -v ./cmd/manager -run '^TestDeclaredWebhooksAreRegistered$' -count=1
go test -p 2 -v ./cmd/manager ./pkg/controller/v1beta1/benchmark ./pkg/webhook/admission/benchmark -count=1
go vet -p 2 ./cmd/manager ./pkg/controller/v1beta1/benchmark ./pkg/webhook/admission/benchmark
go mod tidy -diff

The test fails with the registration removed (1 failed, 0 passed) and passes with it (1 passed). Package suites pass 67 manager, 19 controller and 23 webhook leaf cases, with no failures or skips. The source check guards webhook registration; the cluster check exercises the controller.

On a single-node k3s cluster, I ran both manager binaries against the API server with a serving certificate and a URL-based webhook configuration. The same BenchmarkJob was rejected with the error above on main, then admitted and reconciled into an owned Job with the fix. A valid update succeeded; a dry-run update clearing the endpoint was denied. Benchmark execution was not tested.

Gofmt, goimports, vet, module tidiness and diff checks pass. make ci-lint could not run because the pinned linter supports export-data version 2 while dependencies use version 4; bin/golangci-lint run --fast on the three tested packages passes. Full lint was not run. RBAC was checked by reading: the existing chart and config roles cover the reconciler. No API or marker inputs changed, so no regeneration is needed. The full suite was not run.

Checklist

• Tests added/updated (if applicable)
• Docs updated (not applicable; restores existing behavior)
• make test passes (not run; scoped suites used)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • BenchmarkJob resources can now be handled by non-control-plane managers. When webhooks are enabled, BenchmarkJob resources are also validated through an admission endpoint.
  • Control-plane managers continue to leave the BenchmarkJob controller disabled.

📝 Walkthrough

The manager now registers the BenchmarkJob controller on non-control-plane managers and exposes its validation endpoint when webhooks are enabled. A test checks that webhook paths declared in manifests have registrations in main.go.

Changes: BenchmarkJob manager integration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Controller setup cmd/manager/main.go	The manager registers the BenchmarkJob controller on non-control-plane managers. The control-plane log now includes BenchmarkJob among the disabled controllers.
Webhook registration and path check cmd/manager/main.go, cmd/manager/main_test.go	The manager registers the BenchmarkJob validator at /validate-ome-io-v1beta1-benchmarkjob. The test checks manifest-declared webhook paths against registrations in main.go.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5622f

The restored BenchmarkJob registrations and declared webhook path are consistent; no merge-blocking issue was identified.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5622f

The restoration preserves the control-plane role gate and repairs the declared admission endpoint. It also makes BenchmarkJob workload customization effective again, including image, Secret and host-volume references. Whether those capabilities are restricted to trusted workload administrators or constrained by cluster policies remains unverified.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: Restoring reconciliation makes BenchmarkJob authoring a privilege-bearing workload interface. Authors can select container images, Secret-backed environment sources, volume mounts and generic volumes including hostPath; the restored validator does not constrain those fields. If BenchmarkJob creation is granted more broadly than trusted workload administration, and external Pod admission permits the resulting workload, this can expose namespace Secrets or node-local files. The construction logic and RBAC predate this PR, but their reachability through this manager is restored here. Actual author grants and external enforcement remain unknown.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The initiating privilege is BenchmarkJob creation in a permitted namespace. Resulting workloads are namespace-local, but their requested mounts can reach same-namespace Secrets and node-local storage wherever scheduling and Pod policy permit. Explicit InferenceService references additionally cross namespace boundaries through manager reads. Exposure to untrusted authors and successful execution are deployment-dependent.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A conditionally reachable attack path is an author-controlled BenchmarkJob carrying an image and sensitive volume or environment references, accepted by parameter-focused validation, then materialized as a Job by the restored controller. This supports the delegated-authority concern, but does not establish a verified privilege escalation without the caller's actual permissions and effective cluster admission controls.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Existing controls preserve manager-role separation, validate benchmark parameter shape and fail closed when the declared webhook is unavailable. They do not constrain PodOverride authority or authorize the submitting identity against a referenced InferenceService namespace. Cross-namespace references and Pod customization are documented API features, making the intended author trust level decisive.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Normally created Jobs receive a controller owner reference, and reconciliation checks for an existing Job before creating another. Jobs are create-only: changing BenchmarkJob configuration does not update an existing Job. Security containment or rollback therefore cannot rely on editing the parent specification alone.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Make the BenchmarkJob author trust contract explicit. If this API is tenant-facing, constrain authority-bearing overrides and cross-namespace references with enforceable workload policies. Otherwise restrict and document authoring as a trusted workload-administrator capability, including procedures for containing already-created Jobs.

348-351: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

The NewWebhookManagedBy check hardcodes a path and ignores the call's type argument.

Any call to NewWebhookManagedBy marks the InferenceService validator path as registered. If a different type is registered through this builder, the InferenceService path is still marked as registered. If the call is removed, the test fails. If the call is kept but the type changes, the test passes incorrectly.

Narrow the check to the actual type argument, or document the limitation in the comment.
