Thanks for looking into the cases and providing me more context in the slack.

This is what I learned from the slack conversation with you.
Do I get it correctly?
I feel it is easier to follow.
It could help another dev who is not SME on registry like me.

| // The high-availability of image-registry depends on both the deployment and the shared storage, e.g., either replica=1 or storage=emptyDir (not shared among replicas) leads to lose of HA. This is by the design of image-registry which is at the moment in the maintenance mode and thus unlikely to be changed. | |
| // On the platform from `tolerateSingleReplicaOn`, the image-registry is removed by default (replicas=0) but the workflow in the test brings it up with 1 replica and uses `emptyDir` as its storage. Hence, HA is lost as expected. | |
| // To achieve HA on those platforms, the test has to configure image-registry with at least 2 replicas and shared storage backend such as AWS S3. It might not worth the effort because of the maintenance mode. |

Your understanding is correct. I would rather keep my comment as your suggestion makes us lose a little of context, for example: why are we checking platforms if we could simply tolerate if replicas = 1 ? That plus the presence of links pointing to the referred code helps.

Then I would add something like "We should keep the platforms here the same as the ones defines in [1].
We can still have the link here (i like the link too to support the comments).
My intension is to make it clear why HA cannot be achieved for image-registry. It is a result of two things:
- image-registry's design. It allows for the users to configure replicas and storage.
- The workflow in the test configures them in a way that is not HA: both replica=1 and storage: emptyDir. And i want to clarify that either of them leads to non-HA for image-registry.
replica=1 is easy for me to follow but i was confused by emptyDir. E.g., prometheus from the monitoring stack needs storage to too, and it uses emptyDir, e.g. this and it seems that it does not lose HA. So it is not a general issue. It is from the current implementation of image-registry. It requires a shared storage between replicas and emptyDir is not. This might be very clear to a registry developer but not to everyone. ^_^
If image-registry was not in the maintenance mode, the change of behaviour would be requested, or we had to make an exception for image-registry in the API docs.
// A component must not report Available=False during the course of a normal upgrade.
OperatorAvailable ClusterStatusConditionType = "Available"Available=False "requires immediate administrator intervention." which seems not true for image registry.

The test cases about CO are to validate the requirement from the API docs which are there because we think COs behaving that way is going to help UX in general or UX of a cluster update, believe me, after lots of discussions. Some of them, e.g., Available=True even predate me working on the subject.
That is my side of the story about the API docs and the test cases.
I had some difficult time to understand image-registry's situation and why it cannot have HA like other COs.
I did not find the answers (for replica=1 on vsphere) in the git history or pull requests. Did not get the hold of a registry SME to ask about it.
Apology if I am too chatty about the pull, or missed something obvious.
That is me trying to clear up my previous confusion and to leave a clear comment for the future ourselves.

You checked workflow/openshift-e2e-libvirt-vpn for libvirt which uses https://github.com/openshift/release/blob/main/ci-operator/step-registry/upi/install/libvirt/upi-install-libvirt-commands.sh#L672-L684. Do we want to check the other platforms if they fall into the same reason (replica=1 and emtpyDir)?
Why is BareMetalPlatformType removed? Do we have HA for it in the testing?
Could we name it platformsImageRegistryRemovedByDefault?
It would somehow tell the future dev not to add another platform if it is with 1 replica by mistake.

I haven't seen it, but it does not mean they aren't hiding somewhere. I believe this is something we can deal as they show up, if they do.
Why is BareMetalPlatformType removed?
Nice catch! I have added it.
Could we name it platformsImageRegistryRemovedByDefault?
That does not fully convey the meaning. We still have that lingering code on the Image Registry Operator that somehow thinks Libvirt is a valid Platform.

From the slack conversation, the libvirt (workflow openshift-e2e-libvirt-vpn) acutally sets None in the testing.
Is None the only thing we have evidence?
Could we have only None in the list for now? We expect None alone will help the job ocp-ovn-remote-libvirt-multi-z-z found in OCPBUGS-66213. Correct?
Add the other platforms into the list later when we have the evidence of failing cases or we confirm that their workflow does similar set up like libvirt? As you pointed out, "deal as they show up if they do." It will help us to understand the testing and the workflow.

What I am trying to convince is that we are adding exceptions to the testing. Exceptions should be as few as possible to keep the testing coverage high.
So we add exception only when we see problems or we have a solid proof or a strong feeling that the problems are going to hit us if we do not add the exception.
My impression is that we do not have it other than None at the moment.
But I also understand that it may consume more energy/capacity if we iterate on other platforms and you prefer to handle all of them right now. And you want to spend energy/capacity on something else you feel more urgent about.

Let's not do that. Even though the installer seems to have removed it as a Platform it is still a valid value from the API point of view.

If LibvirtPlatformType is removed, it wont be used in the testing anyway. Correct?

I am confused again.
Could configv1.LibvirtPlatformType happen in a cluster?

nit: usually the docs on a func tells what it does. "filtering out events" sounds a bit confusing to me. I would rather leave it out.
Or we could remove the comment entirely.
| // getInfrastructurePlatformType exists so we may use the returned type | |
| // when filtering out events that may happen during a cluster upgrade. | |
| // getInfrastructurePlatformType returns the type of the platform where the cluster runs |

I think that it is more important for a comment to explain why something exists than what something does. Not to say that the latter is not important but it can be sometimes understood by looking at the function / function name.
image registry operator bootstraps as "removed" on certain platforms. on these platforms if the image registry is up then it must has been manually configured as so by the workflow. if the workflow sets the image registry up with a single replica we should not fail the test. a single replica is not ha and is expected to be unavailable during an upgrade.
