USHIFT-7503: auto-rebase: land monitoring rebase in the rebase PR

[agullon]

Summary

The nightly auto-rebase never updated the cluster-monitoring-operator images (metrics-server, kube-state-metrics, node-exporter), so their pins went stale — on release-5.0 they were frozen at 5.0.0-0.nightly-2026-06-19 while core was current, which broke the optional-sigstore scenario (the stale digests predate signing). The root cause was that the monitoring rebase ran in rebase_job_entrypoint.sh after rebase.py, which had already created the rebase branch, pushed it, and opened the PR — so anything committed afterwards never landed. This PR moves the monitoring rebase into rebase.py alongside the other component rebases (ai_model_serving, sriov, cert_manager) so it runs after the branch is created and its changes are carried into the pushed PR, and it makes any component-rebase failure visible in the PR rather than silently lost.

Changes

• Land cluster-monitoring-operator rebase in the rebase PR (108a2c417): add run_rebase_cluster_monitoring_operator_sh() to rebase.py and invoke it in main() after rebase.sh, folding its result into rebases_succeeded; add commit_cluster_monitoring_operator_changes() to rebase_cluster_monitoring_operator.sh so the assets/ digest bumps are committed (previously only the last-rebase marker was committed); and remove the post-rebase.py monitoring invocation from rebase_job_entrypoint.sh that never landed in the PR.
• Surface component-rebase failures in the rebase PR (d2347f00f): extend the committed rebase.log failure artifact to include the output of every component script (rebase.sh, ai_model_serving, sriov, cert_manager, cluster_monitoring_operator), and build the PR title and description from rebases_succeeded instead of only rebase_result.success so a component failure after a successful core rebase is flagged as **FAILURE** instead of appearing as a clean NO-ISSUE: success.
• LVMS is left exactly as on main and is out of scope for this PR.

Testing

• python3 -m py_compile scripts/auto-rebase/rebase.py passes.
• shellcheck clean on rebase_cluster_monitoring_operator.sh and rebase_job_entrypoint.sh.
• Full runtime verification requires the rebase job (registry.ci access to pull the payload and clone cluster-monitoring-operator); to be exercised by the next periodic rebase. Once merged and backported to release-5.0, the next nightly rebase re-pins the monitoring assets to the current signed payload and optional-sigstore passes.

Summary

The nightly auto-rebase never updates the cluster-monitoring-operator images (metrics-server, kube-state-metrics, node-exporter) or LVMS, so their pins go stale. On release-5.0 the monitoring images were frozen at 5.0.0-0.nightly-2026-06-19 while core was current — which caused the optional-sigstore failures (the stale digests predate signing; see ART-23343). On main they're 5.0 art-dev images on the 5.1 line.

Root cause

1. Ordering. rebase_job_entrypoint.sh runs the monitoring and LVMS component rebases after rebase.py. rebase.py runs rebase.sh (which creates the rebase branch from HEAD via git checkout -b), then pushes the branch and opens the PR. Anything committed after rebase.py is never pushed, so those component changes never land. Proof: in periodic build ...rebase-on-nightlies/2097535741008547840 the monitoring rebase ran and succeeded and committed its marker (0616e3ec4), yet the merged rebase PR (NO-ISSUE: rebase-release-5.0-5.0.0-0.nightly-2026-09-05-014934_amd64-2026-09-05_arm64-2026-09-08 #7349) contained only the core last_rebase.sh; that commit and the LVMS commits from that build are not in release-5.0.
2. Missing asset commit. rebase_cluster_monitoring_operator.sh only committed its marker file (update_last_rebase); it never git added assets/, unlike rebase_lvms.sh which commits its assets.

Fix

• Move the monitoring and LVMS rebases before rebase.py so their commits are carried onto the branch rebase.sh creates and pushes (the entrypoint already relies on this "commit before rebase.py" pattern for the Go-version bump). Each is guarded (|| echo WARN >&2) so a component-rebase failure logs a warning but does not abort the core rebase (preserving today's resilience under set -o errexit).
• Add commit_cluster_monitoring_operator_changes() to commit assets/ after the manifest/image updates, mirroring rebase_lvms.sh.

These scripts run only from the rebase job entrypoint, not manual rebases.

Effect

Once merged, the next nightly rebase will re-pin the monitoring (and LVMS) assets to the current signed payload, and the optional-sigstore scenario will pass. This is the durable fix; a one-off manual re-pin can be done to fix the current RC sooner.

Testing

• bash -n and shellcheck clean on both scripts.
• Full runtime verification requires the rebase job (registry.ci access to pull the payload + clone CMO); to be exercised by the next periodic rebase.

Notes

#7309 (OCPBUGS-120720) wired the monitoring rebase into the entrypoint but placed it after rebase.py, so it never took effect. A USHIFT bug should be linked (I couldn't file one at the moment due to a Jira permission hiccup).

Walkthrough

The auto-rebase workflow now commits cluster-monitoring-operator asset changes. LVMS rebasing runs separately through rebase_lvms.sh for release 4.21. LVMS configuration and failure-log output were removed from rebase.py.
