Feat/must gather go - #1198
Conversation
Reimplement the observability-operator must-gather collection in Go so the image no longer needs the oc binary. The collector talks to the cluster directly via client-go, using the in-cluster config when run by oc adm must-gather and falling back to the local kubeconfig otherwise. It reproduces the previous bash behaviour: it dumps the operator and operant pods, discovers MonitoringStacks across all namespaces, and execs curl inside the Prometheus and Alertmanager pods to capture their runtime state under the same directory layout.

Cover the api path/logger helpers, the client wrappers (using client-go fakes for pods and the dynamic client), and the monitoring collector (using a fake client) to assert the produced directory layout, the Prometheus/Alertmanager query URLs and that the Alertmanager exec runs in the stack namespace. Wire ./must-gather/... into the test-unit target. Assisted-by: opencode (claude-opus-4-8) Signed-off-by: Jan Fajerski <jfajersk@redhat.com>
Build the must-gather binary in the image and expose it at /usr/bin/gather, replacing the collection-scripts. The operator binary moves to /usr/bin/manager. This removes the need to bundle oc and the bash collection scripts. Add a must-gather build target and update the README to reflect the Go implementation.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change replaces shell-based must-gather collection with a Go implementation. It adds Kubernetes clients, filesystem and logging APIs, monitoring collection, concurrent orchestration, and a command-line entry point. Tests cover the new APIs and collection paths. Make and Docker build targets now produce and package the Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new collection flow can run against pods that are not ready, producing empty output, while the log-file option can write outside the requested collection directory. These correctness and security risks should be fixed before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3 | ❌ 2❌ Failed checks (1 warning, 1 inconclusive)

Restrict log-file to the collection directory.
--log-file=../../path escapes destDir after filepath.Join cleans the path. The process can then create or truncate another writable file outside the collection output.
Reject empty names, ".", "..", absolute paths, and values where filepath.Base(logFileName) != logFileName before Line 29.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Require a ready Pod before every exec.
Lines 196-199 execute against Pending or unready replicas. Lines 243-256 also accept a Running Pod with no ContainerStatuses as ready. This can write empty .json artifacts when replicas are still initializing.
Add a shared readiness predicate that requires PodRunning, at least one container status, and all statuses ready. Use it for both first-replica and per-replica collection. Add a test for a Running Pod with no container statuses.
Also applies to: 243-256

I didn't go through internal/ and client/
I'd be great to add an e2e test, I didn't give it a try locally, I assume you did :)
Thanks!
