- Around line 95-96: Update the Redis template handling for minReplicasToWrite
and minReplicasMaxLag so the combination of minReplicasToWrite: 1 and
minReplicasMaxLag: 0 is rejected or clearly documented as disabling the write
check. Also correct the minReplicasMaxLag unset-value description in the README
to state Redis’s default of 10.

yrahman82 NOT LGTM. The new check catches a zero lag, but two other easy mistakes still render and break the instance. The setting itself is fine: the Redis Sentinel docs describe this setup to limit lost writes. The default render is unchanged, make generate with cozyvalues-gen v1.7.0 leaves no diff, and helm unittest passes.

A negative value breaks the operator's healing. The schema only says integer, so minReplicasToWrite: -1 renders min-replicas-to-write -1. Redis 8.4 accepts only 0 and up for both settings, so the operator's CONFIG SET fails. In freshworks-oss v3.3.5, CheckAndHeal applies the custom config (checker.go:203) before it checks the Sentinels. The error then returns early on every cycle, and Sentinel healing for that instance stops. ## @minimum 0 under both params rejects it at admission.

A value equal to replicas or higher blocks all writes. With replicas: 2 and minReplicasToWrite: 2, the master can never see two replicas, so it refuses every write for good. The postgres chart already fails the render when maxSyncReplicas doesn't fit the replica count. The same kind of check here (minReplicasToWrite below replicas) turns this into a clear error.

Both cases need a test. The new suite only covers values that are accepted.

yrahman82 NOT LGTM, one new test doesn't check what its name says. The schema minimum on both values and the render check against replicas are right, and helm unittest gives 56 passed on a trial merge with current main. Removing minimum from minReplicasToWrite, or turning the ge into gt, fails the matching new test.

Removing minimum from minReplicasMaxLag fails nothing. The negative-lag case also sets minReplicasToWrite: 1, so the template's lag check refuses it with or without the schema minimum. Without the minimum, minReplicasMaxLag: -1 on its own renders min-replicas-max-lag -1, which is the CONFIG SET failure from my last review. Dropping minReplicasToWrite: 1 from that case makes it test the schema.

yrahman82 NOT LGTM, only because the branch no longer merges. The test fix is right. The negative-lag case now sets only minReplicasMaxLag: -1, and removing ## @minimum 0 from that field turns the test red. make generate with cozyvalues-gen v1.7.0 leaves no diff.

Main moved after your push. #4832 added a sentinel block next to your new fields, so the values, types, schema, deepcopy and cozyrds files conflict. Locally I kept both sides in values.yaml and types.go and ran make generate, and helm unittest passed 66 of 66. Rebase onto main that way and I'll approve.

yrahman82 LGTM, the rebase keeps both sides of the #4832 conflict. The range-diff against 56e6f9a changes nothing but the conflict context. Regenerating with cozyvalues-gen v1.7.0 and controller-gen gives no drift, and helm unittest is 66/66. I dropped the minimum on minReplicasMaxLag again and the negative-lag test still goes red. Main moved since your base only in dashboard files, so nothing changes on merge.

yrahman82 LGTM after the rebase. The only change against the commit I approved is the regenerated cozyrds/redis.yaml, and it matches what cozyvalues-gen v1.7.0 produces. helm unittest passes on the redis chart, including the Sentinel image cases from #4831.
