Description

Adds ROX_POLICY_WORKLOAD_TYPE_EXCLUSION (off in product, on in CI e2e) and Sensor capability WorkloadTypeExclusionCap so mixed-version clusters can advertise support for policy exclusion by workload type.

This is PR 1 of 6 (flag → proto → validate → sync → UI → e2e).

User-facing documentation

Testing and quality

  • the change is production ready: the change is GA, or otherwise the functionality is gated by a feature flag
  • CI results are inspected

Automated testing

  • added unit tests
  • added e2e tests
  • added regression tests
  • added compatibility tests
  • modified existing tests

How I validated my change

CI only. Behavior testing TBD and will be covered in later stack PRs (beginning PR 3).

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for excluding workloads of selected Kubernetes types, such as Jobs and CronJobs, from policy evaluation.
    • Sensors advertise compatibility with workload-type exclusion rules when the feature is enabled.
    • Added a deployment setting to control workload-type exclusions. The feature is disabled by default in deployments.
    • End-to-end test environments enable the feature by default; deployments can override its setting through environment configuration.

Walkthrough

The change adds a default-disabled workload-type exclusion feature flag and a sensor capability. Sensor detection reports the capability when the flag is enabled. E2E scripts set the flag and pass it to operator-deployed Central and Sensor instances.

Changes

Workload-type exclusion support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Feature flag and sensor capability
pkg/features/list.go, pkg/centralsensor/caps_list.go, sensor/common/detector/detector.go		 Defines the default-disabled PolicyWorkloadTypeExclusion flag and WorkloadTypeExclusionCap. Sensor detection reports the capability when the flag is enabled.
E2E flag propagation
tests/e2e/lib-compat.sh, tests/e2e/lib.sh		 Adds ROX_POLICY_WORKLOAD_TYPE_EXCLUSION to E2E feature flag setup and operator-deployed Central and Sensor environments.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Suggested reviewers: stehessel

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 20b65

When E2E runs explicitly disable the flag, Central and Sensor can exercise different feature states. Correct the override before relying on false-mode test coverage; the default configuration remains unaffected.

🟡 Minor · Pass the configured value to operator Central. · lib.sh:624-625

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Pass the configured value to operator Central.

When ROX_POLICY_WORKLOAD_TYPE_EXCLUSION=false, operator Sensor receives false, but Central always receives true. Central and Sensor can therefore run with different feature states in the same E2E run.

Suggested fix 
-    customize_envVars+=$'\n        value: "true"'
+    customize_envVars+=$'\n        value: "'"${ROX_POLICY_WORKLOAD_TYPE_EXCLUSION}"'"'
