Problem

kcp fully replaces GenericConfig.BuildHandlerChainFunc with its own implementation in pkg/server/config.go. This means any BuildHandlerChainFunc customization set earlier in the setup pipeline is silently overwritten and never called.

Specifically: CreateAggregatorConfig sets genericConfig.BuildHandlerChainFunc = genericapiserver.BuildHandlerChainWithStorageVersionPrecondition when both StorageVersionAPI and APIServerIdentity feature gates are enabled. Since kcp replaces the func entirely, WithStorageVersionPrecondition is never applied — write requests to resources whose storage versions have not yet converged across kcp shards would not be blocked during rolling upgrades.

Fix

Apply filters.WithStorageVersionPrecondition directly inside kcp's BuildHandlerChainFunc, unconditionally. This ensures the middleware is always active regardless of upstream feature gate state.

Also adds a prominent code comment explaining why this explicit application is necessary, so future maintainers understand the architecture.

Reference

Discovered during review of kcp-dev/kubernetes#185 (1.35.1 rebase). See analysis in PR comments there.

Hi @mjudeikis-bot. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kcp-dev member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

kcp fully replaces GenericConfig.BuildHandlerChainFunc, which means
BuildHandlerChainWithStorageVersionPrecondition from the kubernetes fork
(assigned in CreateAggregatorConfig when StorageVersionAPI +
APIServerIdentity feature gates are enabled) is silently overwritten and
never invoked.

Apply WithStorageVersionPrecondition explicitly inside kcp's custom
BuildHandlerChainFunc, always enabled. This ensures write requests to
resources whose storage versions have not yet converged across all kcp
shards are blocked during rolling upgrades — consistent with upstream
Kubernetes behaviour.

The middleware wraps the API handler before the authz chain and relies
on WithRequestInfo from DefaultBuildHandlerChainFromStartToBeforeImpersonation
being present in the outer chain at request time.

👋 Hey @mjudeikis — noted! Adding upstream feature flag gating (ff) into kcp is a code change, so handing this off to the coder agent (Bob ⚙️) to implement. I'll leave this for them to pick up.

Update: implemented directly — no need to hand off to a separate coder agent.

The fix is already in this PR: WithStorageVersionPrecondition is now applied explicitly inside kcp's BuildHandlerChainFunc (unconditionally, not behind a feature gate), with a comment explaining why the upstream BuildHandlerChainWithStorageVersionPrecondition assignment is never reached. PR description updated accordingly.

…ture gate

kcp fully replaces GenericConfig.BuildHandlerChainFunc, so the upstream
BuildHandlerChainWithStorageVersionPrecondition assignment in
CreateAggregatorConfig is silently overwritten and never called.

Previous commit applied WithStorageVersionPrecondition unconditionally.
This follow-up mirrors upstream k8s behaviour by:

1. Adding StorageVersionAPI to kcp's feature gate registry
   (pkg/features/kcp_features.go) — alpha, off by default since k8s 1.20,
   matching upstream. The gate is re-exported as kcpfeatures.StorageVersionAPI
   so callers only import pkg/features.

2. Gating the WithStorageVersionPrecondition call in BuildHandlerChainFunc
   behind kcpfeatures.StorageVersionAPI, consistent with how upstream
   kubernetes/kubernetes gates it in pkg/controlplane/apiserver/aggregator.go.

Upstream gate status:
- APIServerIdentity: Beta, on by default since k8s 1.26
- StorageVersionAPI: Alpha, off by default (never graduated past alpha)

Since StorageVersionAPI is off by default, the middleware is inactive unless
explicitly enabled via --feature-gates=StorageVersionAPI=true.
