Polycrate CLI 0.29.15 released: TLS Serialization Fix

With Polycrate CLI 0.29.15, we have resolved the root cause of a persistent bug where endpoints with tls: false were not correctly serialized into the Kubernetes CRD from the API.

Root Cause: omitempty + default=true

The issue was in the CRD definition of the endpoint type:

// Before (faulty)
// +kubebuilder:default=true
TLS bool `json:"tls,omitempty"`

With TLS=false (Go zero-value for bool), the field was not serialized into JSON due to omitempty. Kubernetes then applied the CRD default true—effectively ignoring the update.

The Solution

// After (correct)
// +kubebuilder:default=false
TLS bool `json:"tls"`

By removing omitempty, false is explicitly serialized as "tls": false. The new default false prevents "Required value" errors with old CRs.

Enhanced Endpoint-Check Logging

Additionally, debug logs for endpoint checks have been expanded. At loglevel: 2, full URLs and check results are now logged:

Performing endpoint check
  url: http://example.com:80/
  protocol: http
  tls: false

Endpoint check failed
  status_code: 404
  error: Unexpected status code: 404

This significantly eases troubleshooting of endpoint monitoring issues.

Breaking Change: New Defaults

New endpoints now have the following defaults:

For HTTPS endpoints, tls: true must be explicitly set.

polycrate-operator Block

The polycrate-operator block has been updated to version 0.3.30:

polycrate pull cargo.ayedo.cloud/ayedo/k8s/polycrate-operator
polycrate run polycrate-operator deploy

Important: The new CRDs are automatically installed. Existing endpoints with incorrect TLS values will be corrected at the next API sync.
