- Around line 28-31: Update the pod and container securityContext configuration
to avoid hard-coding runAsUser: 1000 for OpenShift restricted SCC; omit it or
use a UID permitted by the namespace, while ensuring the busybox logger image
and shared volume support the assigned UID. Preserve the required non-root,
privilege-escalation, capability, and seccomp settings.
In `@evals/tasks/core/statefulset-lifecycle/verify.sh`:
- Around line 10-17: Update the scale-down verification loop for db-1 and db-2
to query kubectl with --ignore-not-found -o name, capture its output and status,
and succeed only when the command completes successfully with empty output.
Treat API, authentication, transport, or any other nonzero result as failure,
while preserving the existing success behavior when the pod is genuinely absent.
Apply the same fix in `@evals/tasks/core/fix-service-routing/verify.sh` at line
13: The same fail-open deletion handling can leave a stale succeeded probe Pod
in place.

Kubernetes Pod Security Standards restricted allowPrivilegeEscalation capabilities drop ALL runAsNonRoot seccompProfile pod container scope
💡 Result:
The Kubernetes Restricted Pod Security Standard (PSS) is designed to enforce pod hardening best practices [1][2]. To comply with the Restricted profile, your Pod configuration must meet specific requirements across both Pod-level and Container-level security contexts [1][3]. Key requirements for the Restricted profile include: 1. Privilege Escalation: Must be disallowed [1][2]. You must set spec.containers[].securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation to false [1][4]. 2. Capabilities: Must drop all capabilities [2][3]. You must set spec.containers[].securityContext.capabilities.drop to include ALL [2][4]. 3. Running as Non-Root: The container must be required to run as a non-root user [1][2]. You must set spec.securityContext.runAsNonRoot (or at the container level) to true [1][5]. 4. Seccomp Profile: Must be explicitly set to RuntimeDefault or Localhost [1][2]. You must set spec.securityContext.seccompProfile.type (or at the container level) to RuntimeDefault or Localhost [1][6]. Regarding scope, these settings can be applied at either the Pod level (spec.securityContext) or the Container level (spec.containers[*].securityContext), with the following nuances: - Overrides: Container-level settings override Pod-level settings [5]. If a field is defined in both, the container-specific configuration takes precedence [5]. - Inheritance: Many fields (such as runAsNonRoot and seccompProfile) can be set at the Pod level to apply as a default for all containers within the Pod [1][5]. However, fields like allowPrivilegeEscalation and capabilities are typically defined at the container level [6][5][3]. - Flexibility: The Restricted policy allows the Pod-level field to be undefined if all individual container-level fields are set, and vice versa (for fields that support both) [1][7]. Example configuration for a compliant Pod: apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: restricted-compliant-pod spec: securityContext: runAsNonRoot: true seccompProfile: type: RuntimeDefault containers: - name: main-container image: my-app:latest securityContext: allowPrivilegeEscalation: false capabilities: drop: ["ALL"]

Clarify the scope of each security field.
allowPrivilegeEscalation and capabilities.drop are container-level fields. Specify pod-level runAsNonRoot=true and seccompProfile.type=RuntimeDefault, then require allowPrivilegeEscalation=false and capabilities.drop=["ALL"] in each container securityContext. Otherwise, an agent can place container-only fields under spec.securityContext, which can cause Restricted admission to reject the pod.

Enforce the full-list requirement in verification.
The prompt now requires all images from all running pods, but verify only checks that the response contains quay.io/fedora/mysql-80:latest. A response can omit other images or include incorrect images and still pass. Update verification to compare the expected image set, or narrow the prompt to the image contract that the verifier can enforce.

- multi-container-pod-communication: drop hardcoded runAsUser: 1000, which can fall outside a namespace's allocated UID range under OpenShift's restricted SCC and get the pod rejected by admission. Both images already tolerate an arbitrary non-root UID. - fix-service-routing/verify.sh: poll for Service endpoint convergence instead of failing on the first read (EndpointSlice propagation is asynchronous), and stop swallowing real probe-pod delete errors with '|| true' so a stale, already-Succeeded probe pod can't produce a false pass. - statefulset-lifecycle/verify.sh: fail closed on the scale-down deletion check -- distinguish a genuine 'not found' from any other kubectl/API error instead of treating all errors as 'pod is gone'.

Make the endpoint retry window truly bounded.
The direct kubectl get call at evals/tasks/core/fix-service-routing/verify.sh:10 uses the Kubernetes CLI contract where --request-timeout=0 means no timeout. A request can therefore outlive all 15 attempts and prevent the verifier from returning. Set a finite request timeout and enforce the total retry deadline.

Upstream sits at ~96% pass on the builtin-openai core suite; downstream was at ~77%. Close most of that gap by fixing OpenShift/downstream-specific issues in eval tasks and infra, without weakening what's actually verified. - ssa-field-preservation: rewrite task to use server-side apply against a real Deployment instead of a synthetic scenario, matching how the tool is actually exercised elsewhere in the suite. - create-pod-resources-limits: require Pod Security restricted-compatible securityContext (runAsNonRoot, allowPrivilegeEscalation=false, capabilities.drop=["ALL"], seccompProfile=RuntimeDefault) so pods aren't rejected by OpenShift's default SCC. - fix-service-with-no-endpoints, setup-dev-cluster, create-pod-mount-configmaps: fix verify.sh assumptions that don't hold on OpenShift (container name resolution, resource readiness checks). - fix-service-routing: use a PSS-restricted-compatible probe pod instead of a plain busybox kubectl run (blocked under OpenShift's restricted SCC); poll for Service endpoint convergence instead of failing on the first read (EndpointSlice propagation is asynchronous); stop swallowing real probe-pod delete errors with '|| true' so a stale, already-Succeeded probe pod can't produce a false pass. - statefulset-lifecycle: fail closed on the scale-down deletion check -- distinguish a genuine 'not found' from any other kubectl/API error instead of treating all errors as 'pod is gone'. - multi-container-pod-communication: drop hardcoded runAsUser: 1000, which can fall outside a namespace's allocated UID range under OpenShift's restricted SCC and get the pod rejected by admission; both images already tolerate an arbitrary non-root UID. - list-images-for-pods: make the prompt explicit that the model should query and report directly instead of asking clarifying questions about output format. - eval-core.yaml: bump maxToolCalls 20 -> 25 to give fix-service-with-no-endpoints room for the extra OpenShift-specific diagnostic steps it now needs. - build/evals.mk: minor eval-runner plumbing needed for the above. - Timeouts bumped for OpenShift (create-pod-resources-limits, fix-service-with-no-endpoints, multi-container-pod-communication, setup-dev-cluster, ssa-field-preservation, statefulset-lifecycle) are now read from a shared VERIFY_TIMEOUT env var instead of being hardcoded, so generic/upstream CI keeps its original (fast) defaults and slower environments can override without touching these files again.

quay.io/curl/curl:8.11.1 image USER metadata Dockerfile curl_user
💡 Result:
The official curl container images (including the version available at quay.io/curl/curl:8.11.1) are built using a design that explicitly sets the container to run as a non-privileged user named curl_user [1][2][3]. Key details regarding the curl_user metadata in these images include: - Purpose: The use of curl_user is a deliberate design decision intended to follow security best practices by avoiding execution as the root user [2][3]. - Creation: During the image creation process (as seen in scripts like create_base_image.sh), a curl_group and curl_user are created, and the image is configured to work within the home directory of this user (/home/curl_user) [1]. - Implementation: While implementation methods have evolved across different versions and base images (previously utilizing explicit USER curl_user lines in Dockerfiles [4]), the images maintain this non-root user configuration. - Compatibility Note: Because curl_user is a non-numeric user, some environments (specifically certain Kubernetes configurations requiring runAsNonRoot policies) may encounter issues because they cannot verify the numeric UID to ensure the user is not root [5]. In such cases, users have reported success by overriding the user configuration via pod or container templates (e.g., setting runAsUser: '1000') [6]. The infrastructure and code for generating these images are maintained in the official curl/curl-container repository [7].

Kubernetes runAsNonRoot non-numeric image USER kubelet cannot verify image user official documentation
💡 Result:
When runAsNonRoot is set to true in a Kubernetes Pod's securityContext, the kubelet must verify that the container is not running as the root user (UID 0) [1][2][3]. This verification process requires a numeric user ID to be available [2][4]. If the container image specifies a USER directive using a username (a non-numeric string) instead of a numeric UID, the kubelet cannot perform this verification because it does not resolve symbolic usernames within the image's root filesystem [5][2][4]. Consequently, the kubelet will block the pod from starting and return an error similar to: "container has runAsNonRoot and image has non-numeric user (...), cannot verify user is non-root" [2][4][6]. To resolve this issue, you have two primary options: 1. Explicitly define runAsUser in the Pod's securityContext: By setting runAsUser to a specific numeric UID, you bypass the need for the kubelet to check the image's internal metadata [2][4][6]. This forces the container to run as the specified numeric UID, satisfying the runAsNonRoot requirement [7][8][2]. 2. Update the image's Dockerfile: Change the USER directive in your image build process to use a numeric UID instead of a username (e.g., use USER 1000 instead of USER appuser) [4][6]. This allows the kubelet to read the numeric UID directly from the image metadata and perform the verification successfully [2][4]. This behavior is a long-standing design choice in the Kubernetes kubelet to avoid the complexity and potential security risks of resolving symbolic users within container images [5][2].

"quay.io/curl/curl:8.11.1" Dockerfile USER
💡 Result:
The official curl container image, which is distributed via both quay.io/curl/curl and curlimages/curl, uses a non-root user named curl_user [1]. In the Dockerfile for these images, the USER instruction is explicitly set to: USER curl_user [1] This configuration ensures that the container runs with restricted privileges rather than as the root user by default [1]. The image is maintained by the curl project as part of their official container infrastructure [2].

Use an image with a verifiable non-root user.
The exact quay.io/curl/curl:8.11.1 image declares Config.User='curl_user'. Because the Pod sets runAsNonRoot: true without a numeric runAsUser, kubelet cannot verify the user and can reject the container before startup. The readiness check at verify.sh:240 then fails.
Use an image with a numeric non-root default user, or set a numeric runAsUser allowed by the target cluster.
