What does this PR do?

Renders the view as header, tree, phase and per-component resources. --pod-limit defaults to showing every pod; when set, unhealthy pods sort first so truncation never hides a failing pod. The machine formats emit the view itself rather than the items/count envelope the list commands carry.

Part of a seven-PR stack implementing kli describe (#206). Targets feat/cli-describe-view, which must merge first.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds RenderWorkload for table, file, JSON, and YAML workload descriptions. It renders nested components, pods, statuses, resources, and pod limits. Shared rendering now supports single-item output through RenderOne. Tests cover human and machine output.

Changes

Workload description output

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rendering contract and dispatch
cli/pkg/generator/describe.go, cli/pkg/generator/render.go
Defines DescribeOptions, adds RenderWorkload, applies default output and pod-limit behavior, and routes single-item and collection output through shared format handling.
Human workload rendering
cli/pkg/generator/describe.go, cli/pkg/generator/describe_test.go
Renders workload metadata, nested component and pod trees, statuses, readiness, file-mode details, resource totals, formatted values, and pod-limit notices. Tests cover healthy, pending, unschedulable, failed, completed, and nested workloads.
Machine output validation

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6b4ef

Describe output can understate resource requests and can mask output failures. These are bounded output-path risks that should be tracked before relying on the new view broadly.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

Render the DescribeView as the four sections the command promises: a header
naming the workload and the definition that resolved it, the component tree
with its pod rows, the normalized phase, and a resource breakdown per component
with the workload total last.

The tree and the resource table go through one tab writer each, so component
rows and pod rows share a column grid without hand-computed widths.

--pod-limit defaults to showing every pod, the way kubectl-tree renders every
descendant: a hidden pod is the one a reader most needs. When a limit is set,
unhealthy pods sort first so truncation can never hide a failing pod, and the
note says how many were hidden and how many unhealthy ones survived.

The machine formats emit the view itself rather than the items/count envelope
the list commands carry: an envelope says nothing about a single workload and
costs every consumer an items[0] hop. RenderOne carries that in the generic
renderer, so json and yaml stay one code path.

Set FileMode when pods is nil.

ResolveDescribe documents pods == nil as file mode, but the initializer leaves FileMode false. Any file-mode caller that renders the returned view will report live mode in JSON, YAML, and human output.

🟡 Minor · Compute Kubernetes effective requests in podRequest. · cli/pkg/workload/describe.go:498-520

498-520: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Compute Kubernetes effective requests in podRequest.

requestOf passes complete PodTemplateSpec and PodSpec values to this function. The current algorithm omits pod-level resources and overhead. It also reports 5 CPU for a 2-CPU restartable init sidecar followed by a 5-CPU regular init container, although the effective request is 7 CPU.

Update the local algorithm to include Kubernetes effective-request semantics. Preserve requirementsOf so each resource uses the request value and falls back to its limit. Add focused Ginkgo cases in cli/pkg/workload/describe_test.go for restartable-init accumulation, pod-level resources, overhead, and limit-only resources. This is a localized algorithm change with focused validation, not a broad migration.

rogirun and others added 3 commits September 16, 2026 09:22
The resource table charged only leaf components, so a component that
carried both its own request and children was dropped from the rows
while TOTAL still counted it. Each component is now charged what it
requests beyond the children already rolled up into it, and only a
component that repeats its children exactly is left out.

The tree closed a branch on the last pod even when child components
followed at the same depth, and the truncation note carried no tab
cells, which ended the tabwriter's column block and realigned every
row below it. The note now keeps the row's cell count, with its prose
in the status cell so it cannot set the name column's width.

Zero and negative pod limits both mean no limit, stated on the option
so an explicit --pod-limit 0 has one reading.

The repository rename landed on main while these files were new on this
branch, so the rename never reached them and the merge left them

A completed pod carries no ready condition, so sorting on readiness
alone let it take the rows --pod-limit reserves for a failing pod and
counted it in the unhealthy tally the note reports.

Sorting failing pods first only saves them while they fit under
--pod-limit, so the truncation note claiming "N unhealthy shown" read
as full coverage while further failing pods sat hidden. The note now
names the total when it could not reach them all, and limitPods no
longer promises truncation never hides a failing pod.
