feat: Add network policies for operand network isolation

[thejasn]

- Description of the problem which is fixed/What is the use case
OSC operands currently have no network policies, meaning any pod in the namespace
can send/receive traffic without restriction. Openshift layered product security
guidance requires network isolation for all operator-managed workloads.

Ref: KATA-5891

- What I did
Implemented 16 label-scoped network policies across 6 operands using a
default-deny + allow-list model:

Component	Selector label	NPs	Allowed traffic
kata-monitor	name=openshift-sandboxed-containers-monitor	3	metrics ingress 8443, DNS egress 5353
peer-pods-webhook	app=peer-pods-webhook	5	webhook ingress 9443, metrics ingress 8443, DNS egress 5353, apiserver egress
kata-install	name=osc-rpm-install	2	all egress (needs registries, API server)
kata-uninstall	name=osc-rpm-uninstall	2	all egress
podvm-image-creation	job-name=osc-podvm-image-creation	2	all egress (needs cloud APIs, registries)
podvm-image-deletion	job-name=osc-podvm-image-deletion	2	all egress (needs cloud APIs)

- How to verify it [TODO: testing]

1. Install the operator and create a KataConfig with enablePeerPods: true

2. Verify network policies are created:
   oc get networkpolicy -n openshift-sandboxed-containers-operator
   Should show 16 policies

3. Verify drift correction — edit a policy and confirm it reverts:
   oc delete networkpolicy kata-monitor-deny-all -n openshift-sandboxed-containers-operator
   Policy should be recreated automatically

4. Delete KataConfig and verify all NPs are garbage collected:
   oc delete kataconfig example-kataconfig
   oc get networkpolicy -n openshift-sandboxed-containers-operator
   Should show no operand policies

-Test Report

Environment: AWS us-east-2, peer-pods mode, custom FBC (quay.io/thejasn/openshift-sandboxed-containers-operator-bundle:1.14.0-np)

1. NP Audit (12/12 pass)

• Ran oc get networkpolicies -n openshift-sandboxed-containers-operator -o yaml
• Compared each NP's podSelector, policyTypes, ingress/egress rules, annotations, and ownerReferences against the plan
• All 12 NPs match: correct names, label selectors, ports, host-network annotations on ingress policies, ownerReferences to KataConfig

2. Prometheus metrics ingress

• Exec'd into Prometheus pod, queried http://localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=up{job="kata-monitor"}
• kata-monitor: Prometheus returned up=1 confirming metrics scraping works through the NP
• peer-pods-webhook: metrics port mismatch (NP allows 8443, deployed image serves 8080) — stale image, source on osc-release branch defaults to 8443

3. CAA connectivity

• Verified oc get ds osc-caa-ds -o jsonpath='{.spec.template.spec.hostNetwork}' returns true
• Confirmed no NPs target CAA pods — hostNetwork pods bypass NetworkPolicy
• CAA pods Running and communicating with cloud API

4. DNS egress

• Verified kata-monitor pod logs show successful operations requiring DNS
• allow-dns-egress NPs target port 5353 TCP+UDP to openshift-dns namespace

5. Webhook ingress

• MutatingWebhookConfiguration active, kube-apiserver reaching webhook on port 9443
• Pods with kata-remote runtimeClass successfully mutated by webhook

6. KataConfig lifecycle — NP create/delete

• Deleted KataConfig: all 12 operand NPs automatically removed via ownerReference GC
• Recreated KataConfig: all 12 NPs recreated with correct specs
• Multiple reconcile cycles: NPs stable, no duplication (CreateOrUpdate idempotency)

Not Tested

• Bare-metal mode (kata-install/uninstall NPs)
• Disconnected environment

- Description for the changelog
Add label-scoped default-deny network policies for all operands with automatic drift correction.

Pipeline controller notification
This repo is configured to use the pipeline controller. Second-stage tests will be triggered either automatically or after lgtm label is added, depending on the repository configuration. The pipeline controller will automatically detect which contexts are required and will utilize /test Prow commands to trigger the second stage.

For optional jobs, comment /test ? to see a list of all defined jobs. To trigger manually all jobs from second stage use /pipeline required command.

This repository is configured in: LGTM mode

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The controller now creates, updates, watches, and deletes NetworkPolicies for Kata Monitor, Peer Pods Webhook, transient Kata workloads, and PodVM image jobs. Reconciliation creates policies before workloads and removes them during cleanup. RBAC permissions and owned-resource watches support these operations. Tests cover policy specifications and lifecycle behavior. Documentation, diagrams, and FBC catalog targets were added.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Peer Pods teardown can run the PodVM image-deletion Job without its intended network restrictions. Preserve those policies until the Job has finished before merging.

In `@controllers/networkpolicy.go`:
- Line 85: Update the NetworkPolicy egress configuration around the Egress field
to remove the unrestricted empty NetworkPolicyEgressRule and define explicit
destination peers, ports, and protocols required by each workload. Preserve
default-deny behavior while ensuring only necessary outbound traffic is allowed.
- Line 19: Update the NetworkPolicy reconciliation helper chain so the context
received by Reconcile is passed into ensureNetworkPolicy and deleteNetworkPolicy
instead of creating context.TODO(). Use that propagated ctx for the
CreateOrUpdate and Delete API calls, preserving cancellation when reconciliation
stops.

In `@controllers/openshift_controller.go`:
- Line 898: The default-deny NetworkPolicies must be established before any
matching workload operation: in controllers/openshift_controller.go:898-898,
move policy setup before the monitor DaemonSet operation; in
controllers/daemonset_reconcile.go:192-192 and 368-368, move it before the
install and uninstall DaemonSet operations; and in
controllers/peerpods.go:385-385 and 389-389, move it before peer-pods webhook
Deployment creation and ImageCreate. Preserve existing policy behavior while
eliminating the interval in which workloads can start without their policies.

In `@docs/network-policies/np-peer-pods-webhook.mmd`:
- Line 14: Replace the unrestricted egress representation with
destination-specific rules for peer-pods-webhook in
docs/network-policies/np-peer-pods-webhook.mmd:14, kata-install in
docs/network-policies/np-kata-install.mmd:11, and kata-uninstall in
docs/network-policies/np-kata-uninstall.mmd:11, covering only their required API
server, DNS, registry, and cleanup endpoints; make no change to
docs/network-policies/np-controller-manager.mmd:14 because no confirmed producer
exists for it.

In `@docs/network-policies/README.md`:
- Line 28: Update the host-network ingress documentation to match the enforced
policy: in docs/network-policies/README.md:28-28 and
docs/network-policies/network-policies.md:29-30, document the actual
unrestricted source scope or add selectors for the intended sources; apply the
same correction to docs/network-policies/network-policies.md:122-123 for the
pending controller-manager diagrams. Ensure the 9443 and 8443 rules are
described consistently with allowIngressSpec.
- Around line 11-15: Replace allowAllEgressSpec for the five operand policies
with explicit required destinations and ports, preserving only necessary
connectivity. Update the corresponding entries in
docs/network-policies/README.md lines 11-15 and
docs/network-policies/network-policies.md lines 35, 54, 69, 84, and 99 to
document those restrictions, and update the diagrams in
docs/network-policies/np-podvm-image-creation.mmd line 11 and
docs/network-policies/np-podvm-image-deletion.mmd line 11 to match.
