Explanation
Issue
#868requires a rebooting node to keep its batch slot through the not-ready and unreachable taints, and requires the picker and the pod to agree on tolerated taints. At the reviewed head, nodeToleratesTaints (cluster_state_v2.go) exempts only NotReady and Unreachable taints with NoSchedule or NoExecute effects, and only when wrapper.HoldsBatchSlot(node) is true. HoldsBatchSlot requires current-batch membership and a package stage in progress (compartment.go). Selection (selectNodesWithCompartments) and introspection (IntrospectNode) both use this helper, so an admitted rebooting node stays InProgress and keeps its slot. Fresh admission still requires explicit toleration of these taints, because the non-slot-holder path checks every taint through CheckTaintToleration. Other taints and ignore labels still block. The pod keeps its existing lifecycle NoExecute tolerations, so the picker and pod remain aligned for admitted nodes. The implementation differs from the issue's suggested fix (adding tolerations to packageTolerations). It is a reasoned alternative, and it meets the stated expected behavior for nodes that have started work. A picked node that is displaced before any stage starts is not exempt. This is a deliberate narrowing. The issue's unit repro sets only InProgress status without a stage, so that repro would block under this design. The author documents this choice and tests it. Tests in cluster_state_v2_test.go and lifecycle_taints_test.go cover repeated selection, blocked status, taint effects, and eviction tolerations. Recovery of a node that never returns is excluded here and tracked in#869. Limitation: the compartment.go whole-PR diff was unavailable, so the InCurrentBatch and HoldsBatchSlot logic was verified from the file at the reviewed head, not from the diff.

Explanation
The changed code supports
#868. cluster_state_v2.go adds nodeToleratesTaints and uses it in selection and introspection. compartment.go adds HoldsBatchSlot and makes InCurrentBatch a package function, which the selection code needs. The InCurrentBatch change is a supporting refactor. job_builder.go changes only a comment about packageTolerations. The pod spec is not changed. The tests and docs (taints.md, custom-resource.md, lifecycle.md) describe the same lifecycle-taint behavior. The eviction-timeout documentation describes existing precedence of explicit tolerations and does not add behavior. No change is shown to be unrelated to#868. Limitation: compartment.go diff unavailable; the file at head was reviewed directly.

Two issues, one inline.
issue (blocking): docs/user-guide/taints.md:25 ("Default tolerations") still lists only the runtime-required and cordon taints, while custom-resource.md now says the defaults cover not-ready/unreachable and sends readers to taints.md for the defaults. However the inline issue is resolved, that list needs to match what selection tolerates.

issue (blocking): Moving these into packageTolerations also lets node selection admit nodes that are already NotReady/unreachable into new batches, not just keep a rebooting batch member in place.
eligible (cluster_state_v2.go:1195) checks this list, createNewBatch (wrapper/compartment.go:194) picks from it, and nothing else in selection checks readiness. Before this change a node unreachable for days (a hardware fault, nothing to do with NodeWright) was blocked, listed in TaintNotTolerable, and never picked. Now it is eligible like any waiting node.
For a non-interrupt package that stalls the compartment. The Job has no Job-level deadline, and the per-attempt activeDeadlineSeconds only starts once the kubelet acknowledges the pod (job_builder.go:189), so the Job pinned to the dead node never fails, the node stays InProgress, and no further batch starts. That is a different case from #869 (a batch member that never comes back): here the node was down before it was picked. It also takes dead nodes out of blocked/TaintNotTolerable, which custom-resource.md:369 still tells users to check when nothing happens on a node.
Suggestion: leave the pod tolerations as they were and fix batch membership instead. Exempt nodes in the batch in flight (compartment.InCurrentBatch) from the taint check, the way admit already keeps excluded nodes in their batch (cluster_state_v2.go:1206). That keeps the rebooting node's slot without admitting down nodes to new batches. A spec with a NotReady node outside the current batch would pin it.

Fixed in cd42e74. Existing batch membership now grants an exemption only for the two lifecycle taints, in both introspection and selection. Fresh lifecycle-tainted nodes remain blocked unless explicitly tolerated; custom taints and ignore labels still apply.
Pod tolerations retain their original ordering, preserving user-defined eviction timeouts. Regression tests cover fresh admission and retained membership. On kind, the healthy peer completed while an already-unreachable node received no Job, and an existing batch member retained its slot through an outage and operator restart before both workers completed.

Addressed the documentation finding in cd42e74. The taints guide, custom-resource reference, and lifecycle guide now consistently distinguish fresh admission, lifecycle-taint exemptions for existing batch members, and Pod eviction defaults. They also explain that explicit finite eviction timeouts still take precedence. The PR description now reflects the revised approach and the local unit and kind validation. |

Both earlier issues are resolved. Freshly lifecycle-tainted nodes stay blocked, the pod tolerations are unchanged, and taints.md matches what selection does. One case is left, inline. It comes from my earlier suggestion to key the exemption off InCurrentBatch, which turns out to cover more than the batch in flight.

issue: InCurrentBatch counts any incomplete NodePriority entry, including one for a node that was displaced earlier. compartment.go:118-121 notes that an untolerated or ignored node keeps its entry while another node takes its slot. If that node later goes down, it is exempt here, it comes back as the only sticky node, and createNewBatch is never reached.
Repro (budget 1, nodes a/b/c, IntrospectSkyhook then SelectNodes): a is picked, then gets an untolerated taint, so b takes the slot and completes. The taint is then removed, and a goes unreachable (for example, powered off for repair).
- this PR:
picked=[a]on every pass, and c never starts - main:
picked=[c], with ablocked
Suggestion: exempt only members that hold a slot in the batch in flight. For example, drop a node's NodePriority entry when another node takes its slot, or base the exemption on work started in this batch. A spec with a displaced-then-unreachable node would pin it.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Confirmed and fixed. The spec you describe reproduced it. With budget 1 the third pass picked a with a still in NodePriority. On main it picked c with a blocked.
The exemption now keys off wrapper.HoldsBatchSlot: a current-batch member with a package stage in_progress. Dispatch writes that entry when it creates the Job, so a rebooting node always carries it. A node displaced before any stage started has no such entry, and the picker blocks it like a fresh node. I went this way rather than dropping the NodePriority entry on displacement, since the sticky-set ordering work relies on displaced nodes keeping their entry.
lifecycle_taints_test.go gains the displaced-then-unreachable spec plus a table entry for a picked member with no started stage. The picker fixture now records the dispatched interrupt stage, as dispatch does. Docs updated to say the exemption follows the slot, not membership. Also switched that test file to the // license header and rebased onto main.

Outside the diff
docs/user-guide/deployment-policy.md:292: suggestion (non-blocking): The Batch Stickiness section still says only that untolerated taints exclude a node, with no mention that a batch member keeps its slot through a reboot.
This is the page that describes slot ownership: it says untolerated taints exclude a node (:292) and excluded nodes hold no concurrency slot (:294). A reader concludes a NotReady rebooting node releases its slot, which is the behavior #868 removed.
Add one sentence after the untolerated-taints sentence, matching taints.md:31-36, for example: "A node already in the batch keeps its slot when Kubernetes adds the node.kubernetes.io/not-ready or node.kubernetes.io/unreachable taint during a reboot; see Taints."
Lifecycle taints must not release an active interruption-budget slot while a node is still down. Keep existing batch members eligible without admitting already-unreachable nodes that would stall healthy peers. Preserve explicit Pod eviction timeouts and document the distinction between fresh admission, batch retention, and eviction. Closes NVIDIA#868 Signed-off-by: Taylor Daugherty <tdaugherty@nvidia.com>
… batch slot The exemption keyed off InCurrentBatch, which counts any incomplete NodePriority entry. A node displaced by an untolerated taint keeps its entry while another node takes its slot. If it later went unreachable it was exempt, came back as the only sticky node, and createNewBatch never ran, so the remaining nodes never started. HoldsBatchSlot adds the condition that matters: a package stage in progress on the node. Dispatch writes that entry when it creates the Job, so a rebooting node always has it and a displaced node never does. Signed-off-by: Taylor Daugherty <tdaugherty@nvidia.com>

…emption Review follow-ups. The packageTolerations comment claimed selection blocks on exactly the pod's untolerated taints. The slot exemption made that false, and nothing said why only two keys, two effects and slot holders are exempt. The rebooting-batch spec skipped the TaintNotTolerable check when the condition was absent. The fresh-node spec asserted the four lifecycle taints as one aggregate. The new test file still carried investigation output and deadline assertions that belong to the Job builder. Signed-off-by: Taylor Daugherty <tdaugherty@nvidia.com>

State the explicit admission exception.
The comment says an unreachable node is never admitted to a fresh batch. The “explicit admission opt-in” case in operator/internal/controller/lifecycle_taints_test.go Line 192 expects admission when AdditionalTolerations matches the taints. Say that fresh admission requires an explicit matching toleration.

issue (blocking): HoldsBatchSlot counts only in_progress, so a rebooting node whose agent the shutdown killed first loses its slot: that attempt leaves its package at (interrupt, erroring).
With budget 1, node a reboots for an interrupt and the shutdown kills the agent before the reboot command, so the pod watch writes (interrupt, erroring) (recordPodErroring, pod_controller.go:427), a state interrupt-flow.md:34 and custom-resource.md:643 document as expected for a reboot. Nothing returns it to in_progress until the Job completes, so while a still carries not-ready or unreachable, IntrospectNode blocks it (cluster_state_v2.go:1463-1466), currentBatchNodes skips it, and createNewBatch starts node b while a is still down, which is the #868 violation again. The graceful-shutdown path (pod marked DisruptionTarget) is not affected; this needs the agent-killed-first case, which the old InCurrentBatch key still covered at cd42e74.
Count an erroring stage as holding the slot, for example if status.IsActive() { (in_progress or erroring, skyhook_types.go:820) here, and update the comment at compartment.go:164-165. Add a table entry in lifecycle_taints_test.go next to :186-189 for a batch member whose package is at (interrupt, erroring) under the unreachable taint. Change "stage in progress" to "stage in progress or erroring" (or equivalent) in docs/user-guide/taints.md:31, docs/user-guide/custom-resource.md:373 and docs/architecture/lifecycle.md:170.
Description
Closes #868.
A rebooting node can become
blockedwhen Kubernetes adds lifecycle taints, releasing its interruption-budget slot while it is still down. On kind, the baseline started work on a second worker despite a budget of one.not-readyandunreachabletaints in both introspection and selection.Recovery of an admitted node that never returns remains tracked in #869.
How this was verified
make fmt vet lint unit-tests: all 1,497 specs across 15 suites passed after rebasing ontomain; golangci-lint v2.15.0 reports 0 issues.Kind used worker kubelet stop/start and a locally built operator with Google's distroless runtime base. Physical reboot commands and the full Chainsaw suite were not exercised.
