OCPBUGS-105461: allow baremetal to progress while MCO does

[maschmid]

What this PR does

Updates the legacy-cvo-invariants monitor test exceptions for the baremetal cluster operator following the fix for OCPBUGS-66101.

Previously, the baremetal operator never reported Progressing=True during upgrades. OCPBUGS-66101 (fixed by cluster-baremetal-operator#629) corrected this so the operator now intentionally reports Progressing=True (reason SyncingResources, "Applying metal3 resources") while it syncs its metal3 resources during an update.

That intended behavior change trips the clusteroperator/baremetal should stay Progressing=False while MCO is Progressing=True invariant, causing the regression reported in OCPBUGS-105461.

This PR:

• Removes the now-obsolete baremetal → OCPBUGS-66101 exception in the "must go Progressing=True during an upgrade test" check. With the operator now reporting progress correctly, that exception path is dead — baremetal passes the test on its own.
• Adds a baremetal exception, scoped to reason SyncingResources, in the "should stay Progressing=False while MCO is Progressing=True" check. Since the Progressing transition is now the intended product behavior rather than a defect, this is recorded as an accepted-behavior exception (descriptive string) rather than a Jira reference to a bug to keep tracking.

Walkthrough

The operator upgrade checks no longer allow baremetal operators to omit Progressing=True. They allow SyncingResources while machine-config is progressing.

Changes

Operator progress validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Baremetal progress exceptions pkg/monitortests/clusterversionoperator/legacycvomonitortests/operators.go	Removes the baremetal exception for missing Progressing=True during upgrades. Adds a baremetal exception for SyncingResources while machine-config is progressing.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to a2eb4

The PR changes baremetal progression handling, but it currently permits an indeterminate status to be treated as acceptable, which could allow progression under the wrong condition. Merge should wait until the exception is restricted to Progressing=True and the associated checks pass.

Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly and concisely describes the main change: allowing bare-metal operations to progress while the Machine Config Operator progresses.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	The diff changes only baremetal exception handling and failure text. It does not add or alter test titles; existing names use stable KnownOperators entries.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	The diff only adjusts a conditional exception in a JUnit-producing monitor analyzer; no Ginkgo It blocks, resource setup, waits, or assertions were introduced, and the exception has diagnostic text.
Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The patch changes existing operator-monitoring logic only; the diff adds no Ginkgo It, Describe, Context, or When test.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The PR changes existing monitor-test exception logic only; its diff adds no It, Describe, Context, or When Ginkgo tests, so the SNO check is inapplicable.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	The one-file diff changes only cluster-operator progress test exceptions; it adds no manifests, workload resources, affinity, topology spread, selectors, tolerations, replicas, or PDB constraints.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	The diff only changes baremetal exception logic and adds a returned message; it introduces no process-level stdout write, entrypoint, klog, or logging-output change.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The diff changes one existing monitor function and adds no It, Describe, Context, or When Ginkgo declarations; the IPv6/disconnected test check is not applicable.
No-Weak-Crypto	✅ Passed	The PR changes only baremetal Progressing exception logic; the added lines contain no MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, Blowfish, ECB, custom crypto, or secret comparisons.
Container-Privileges	✅ Passed	The PR changes only one Go test file. The diff adds no container/Kubernetes manifest or privilege setting such as privileged, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, or allowPrivilegeEscalation.
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs	✅ Passed	The diff adds no logging calls or sensitive fields. It only changes exception classification and adds static JUnit text; existing event serialization is unchanged.
