Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added validation for opted-in Pods to ensure their container and port configuration meets placement requirements. Updates that remove opt-in while the scheduling gate remains are rejected.
• Bug Fixes
  • Modal sandboxes now route only the first configured port through the connect URL; sandboxes without configured ports use port 8080.
  • NodePool writes can proceed when validation is unavailable. Pod validation remains fail-closed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds create and update validation for selected Pods and changes the NodePool validating webhook failure policy. It also removes Modal sandbox encrypted-port configuration and updates port-routing documentation and test descriptions.

Changes

Pod admission validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pod validation rules and tests internal/webhook/v1/pod_webhook.go, internal/webhook/v1/pod_webhook_test.go	PodCustomValidator checks opted-in, unbound Pods for one regular container, no init containers, and at most one container port. Update validation handles opt-in label transitions and the scheduling gate. Tests cover create and update cases, invalid object types, and pre-bound Pods.
Webhook registration and selection internal/webhook/v1/pod_webhook.go, config/webhook/manifests.yaml, config/webhook/patches/validating_pod_selector.yaml, config/webhook/kustomization.yaml, internal/webhook/v1/nodepool_webhook.go, test/e2e/e2e_test.go	The Pod webhook registers validation for create and update requests. Configuration selects enabled Pods outside the listed namespaces, and the NodePool validating webhook failure policy changes to Ignore. The e2e test comment uses the renamed mutating selector patch path.

Modal sandbox ports

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Sandbox port configuration and routing descriptions pkg/provider/modal/client.go, pkg/provider/modal/modal.go, pkg/provider/modal/modal_test.go	Sandbox creation no longer passes spec.Ports as EncryptedPorts; credential minting still receives the first configured port. Comments and test descriptions state that only the first declared port is routed through the connect URL and that the default port is used when no ports are declared.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 95f0b

Pod validation is now fail-closed for creates and updates. If the webhook is down, already admitted Pods may not be released for placement. Pods can also be relabeled into opt-in without the scheduling gate that the platform relies on. Resolve both issues before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 95f0b

Admission remains scoped to opted-in workloads, and Modal credentials still follow the existing token-return path. No introduced security vulnerability was established, but actual Modal port exposure and coordinated deployment behavior remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The admission change affects selected Pod creates and updates through the shared webhook service. The Modal argument change applies to newly created sandboxes, where workload-declared ports influence credential routing under the configured provider identity. No cross-tenant privilege expansion was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Modal still creates a sandbox, requests its connect credential for the selected port, rejects credential errors or token-less responses, and returns the URL and token through ProvisionResult. The existing contract treats the token as secret and requires durable, access-controlled persistence; this PR does not change that contract.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Credential minting can fail after sandbox creation. Existing recovery uses claim-tag discovery, while the NodeClaim deletion backstop can find an instance whose ID was never returned and retries termination before releasing its finalizer. These mechanisms predate the PR; their source was not changed by the port adjustment.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Validate the pinned SDK and deployed service contract for omitted EncryptedPorts: explicit and default port routing, bearer-token enforcement, transport protection, and absence of unintended tunnel addresses. Treat the current local documentation as intended behavior until that boundary is verified.
• proposed — Coordinate validation-route availability with webhook configuration installation and removal during upgrades and rollback. Confirm the effective rendered selectors and trust configuration so fail-closed enforcement remains contained to the intended workload scope.

Document validator compatibility constraints in release notes

internal/​webhook/​v1/​pod_webhook.go:139

This fail-closed validator makes existing opted-in Pods with sidecars, init containers, or multiple declared ports fail admission, which is a user-facing compatibility change. The PR description's required release-note block is empty; please document these new constraints (and any required manifest migration) there before merge.

Document empty-list fallback to externally reachable port 8080

pkg/​provider/​modal/​modal.go:177

This field comment now omits the empty-list behavior: firstPort(nil) passes 0 to CreateConnectToken, which still produces an externally reachable credential routed to Modal's default port 8080. Saying only the first declared port is reachable implies that an empty list has no endpoint. Please retain that part of the contract.

Reject UDP and SCTP ports unsupported by provider translation

internal/​webhook/​v1/​pod_webhook.go:140

This validation still admits a single UDP or SCTP port, but the provider translation drops ContainerPort.Protocol and mints a connect URL using only the integer port. Such a Pod passes admission even though its declared protocol cannot be preserved, contradicting this validator’s goal of rejecting workloads providers cannot run as written. Reject non-TCP declarations (and cover them in the table test), or explicitly implement protocol-aware routing.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Exclude unchanged opt-in updates from the fail-closed webhook.

If the webhook is unavailable, the new UPDATE rule rejects gate-removal writes for opted-in Pods. ValidateUpdate permits those writes without shape checks, but failurePolicy: Fail still requires a webhook response. Limit UPDATE matching to relevant label transitions so a webhook outage does not prevent placement from releasing existing Pods. Kubernetes supports matchConditions for finer request filtering.

Require admission mutations when opting in unbound Pods

internal/​webhook/​v1/​pod_webhook.go:154

An unbound Pod can be updated from unlabelled to opted-in without the gate and toleration normally injected on CREATE. This validator admits a valid shape, but needsPlacement then ignores a Pod without the gate; if a gate was pre-created but the toleration is absent, placement releases it onto a tainted virtual node and the Pod remains Pending. Require both admission mutations on this transition (or reject post-creation opt-in entirely), and cover these valid-shape cases in the transition test.

Reject UDP/SCTP ports unsupported by Modal ConnectToken

internal/​webhook/​v1/​pod_webhook.go:189

A single UDP or SCTP containerPort passes this validation, but Modal's CreateConnectToken supports HTTP connections and this adapter discards Protocol before minting the credential. Such a Pod is admitted even though its declared service cannot be reached through the published URL. Restrict the supported port to TCP (including Kubernetes' empty/default value) or carry and implement the protocol explicitly.
