feat: support SPIFFE/SPIRE in operator for argocd-agent auth - #1470
Skipping CI for Draft Pull Request.
If you want CI signal for your change, please convert it to an actual PR.
You can still manually trigger a test run with /test all
Added optional SPIFFE/SPIRE authentication for Argo CD Agent principals and agents, with JWT or mTLS modes and a configurable CSI driver.
When enabled, deployments mount the SPIRE socket and receive the required settings. SPIFFE takes precedence over legacy TLS settings; principals can retain an explicitly configured authentication pattern.
SPIFFE settings are preserved when converting between API versions.
Documentation
Added quickstart guidance covering prerequisites, configuration, defaults, and compatibility.
The API adds optional SPIFFE settings for Principal and Agent resources. When enabled, deployments receive a read-only CSI volume and socket mount, plus SPIRE environment variables. The changes also update authentication selection, API conversion, CRD schemas, documentation, and tests.

Summary
SPIFFE API contract and version conversion argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_types.go, argocd-operator/api/v1beta1/argocd_types.go, argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_conversion.go, argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/argocd_conversion_test.go, argocd-operator/api/v1alpha1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go, argocd-operator/api/v1beta1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go, argocd-operator/common/defaults.go, config/crd/bases/argoproj.io_argocds.yaml, bundle/manifests/argoproj.io_argocds.yaml, bundle/manifests/gitops-operator.clusterserviceversion.yaml
Alpha and beta Principal and Agent specs now expose optional SPIFFE settings for enablement, authentication method, and CSI driver name. Conversion and deep-copy methods preserve those settings, and both CRD manifests include the corresponding schemas. The ClusterServiceVersion createdAt timestamp also changed.
Principal deployment and authentication argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/deployment.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/deployment_test.go
When principal SPIFFE is enabled, the deployment includes the CSI volume, read-only socket mount, and SPIRE environment variables. Explicit auth takes precedence; otherwise, enabled SPIFFE selects the JWT or mTLS pattern, with the existing fallback retained. Tests cover defaults, overrides, and reconciliation updates.
Agent deployment and authentication argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/agent/deployment.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/agent/deployment_test.go
When agent SPIFFE is enabled, the deployment includes the CSI volume, read-only socket mount, and SPIRE environment variables. The controller logs when SPIFFE and legacy TLS settings are both configured. Tests cover settings, legacy TLS values, and reconciliation updates.
Quickstart and end-to-end coverage argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/docs/quickstart.md, test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/sequential/1-136_validate_argocd_agent_spiffe_test.go
The quickstart documents SPIFFE configuration, defaults, and authentication behavior. OpenShift end-to-end tests cover Principal and Agent configuration changes, including enabling, updating, and disabling SPIFFE.
The new SPIFFE quickstart includes a verification snippet that fails to flag a SPIFFE ID in the wrong format, so users may think the check passed. The impact is limited to documentation guidance; fix the snippet at your convenience.

Review comments at @argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/agent/deployment.go:
- Around line 319-326: Update the SPIFFE/legacy-TLS warning to check the raw
`cr.Spec.ArgoCDAgent.Agent.TLS.SecretName` and `RootCASecretName` fields rather
than defaulted values. Move the warning out of `buildAgentContainerEnv` into the
`updateDeploymentIfChanged` flow so it is not emitted repeatedly during
environment construction or reconciliation.
Review comments at @argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/docs/quickstart.md:
- Around line 175-176: Remove the placeholder auth setting from the main
quickstart example so it uses the inferred default; show the custom SPIFFE auth
pattern only in a separate, clearly marked optional snippet.

When both spiffe and a non-empty principal.auth are configured, the controller uses principal.auth instead of inferring the SPIFFE auth pattern. The current sentence incorrectly promises that SPIFFE overrides auth. A configured pattern that does not match the SPIFFE identity can prevent principal authentication.
