TiKVWorkerGroup version upgrade is blocked by unknown component in default upgrade policy

[WangLe1321]

Bug Report

What happened

When a TiKVWorkerGroup performs a version upgrade under the default cluster upgrade policy, the controller rejects the upgrade precondition check with:

failed to check preconditions for upgrading
component: tikv-worker
error: unknown component: tikv-worker
result: false

The group remains Ready=True but not fully synced/up-to-date because the upgrade checker never allows the version rollout to proceed.

Why this happens

TiKVWorkerGroup uses the generic upgrade checker in pkg/controllers/tikvworkergroup/tasks/updater.go:

checker := action.NewUpgradeChecker[scope.TiKVWorkerGroup](c, state.Cluster(), logger)
if needVersionUpgrade(obj) && !checker.CanUpgrade(ctx, obj) {
    ...
}

needVersionUpgrade becomes true when the desired template version differs from the observed status version:

wg.Spec.Template.Spec.Version != wg.Status.Version && wg.Status.Version != ""

For scope.TiKVWorkerGroup, the generated component name is tikv-worker:

func (TiKVWorkerGroup) Component() string {
    return v1alpha1.LabelValComponentTiKVWorker
}

But the default upgrade policy switch in pkg/action/upgrader.go does not handle tikv-worker, so it falls into the default branch:

return false, fmt.Errorf("unknown component: %s", scope.Component[S]())

Expected behavior

A supported TiDB Operator component type should not fail version upgrade precondition checking with unknown component.

TiKVWorkerGroup version upgrades should either:

1. have an explicit default-policy rule, or
2. intentionally share the same dependency/precondition behavior as TiKV, or
3. be explicitly treated as no-dependency/always-allowed if that is the intended semantics.

Why this is surfacing now

Previously some deployment systems only updated spec.template.spec.image for hotfix/image-tag rollouts. Image-only changes do not satisfy needVersionUpgrade, so they bypass this upgrade checker.

Now deployment systems may update both:

spec.template.spec.image
spec.template.spec.version

Once spec.template.spec.version changes, TiKVWorkerGroup enters the generic upgrade checker and hits the missing tikv-worker case.

Impact

Any TiKVWorkerGroup version upgrade with Cluster.spec.upgradePolicy: Default can get stuck before updating instances.

A temporary workaround is setting:

spec:
  upgradePolicy: NoConstraints

but that bypasses normal default upgrade ordering/health checks, so it is not ideal as a long-term fix.

Suggested fix

Add tikv-worker support to the default upgrade checker in pkg/action/upgrader.go.

It may also be worth auditing other generated component names that can enter the same generic checker but are not handled by the default policy switch, for example router and resource-manager.
