OCPBUGS-105402: Remove EVPN feature gate references

[dasanind]

chore: OCPBUGS-105402: Remove EVPN feature gate

The EVPN feature gate has been enabled by default and is no longer
needed. This change removes all references to FeatureGateEVPN from
the cluster-network-operator codebase.

Changes include:

• Remove OVN_EVPN_ENABLE_API and OVN_EVPN_ENABLE template variables
  from pkg/network/ovn_kubernetes.go
• Remove EVPN CRD fields that were conditionally rendered based on
  OVN_EVPN_ENABLE_API template variable from 001-crd.yaml
• Remove VTEP CRD and RBAC permissions that were conditionally
  rendered based on OVN_EVPN_ENABLE template variable
• Remove FeatureGateEVPN from test feature gate configurations
• Remove EVPN enable flag logic from OVN shell scripts
• Update go.mod to reference openshift/api with EVPN gate removed PENDING (merge of the openshift/api PR)

Depends-On: openshift/api#3003

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Removed Features

  • Removed EVPN configuration and VTEP resource definitions from the network API.
  • Removed EVPN-related permissions from node and control-plane access policies.
  • Removed the ability to enable EVPN through deployment and startup configuration.
  • Removed EVPN feature-gate handling from network rendering and validation tests.

• Maintenance

  • Updated the OpenShift API dependency to a newer version.

Walkthrough

The change removes EVPN schema, VTEP permissions, startup flags, render variables, and test feature gates from OVN-Kubernetes manifests and rendering.

Changes

OVN EVPN removal

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Remove EVPN API and access declarations bindata/network/ovn-kubernetes/common/001-crd.yaml, bindata/network/ovn-kubernetes/common/002-rbac-node.yaml, bindata/network/ovn-kubernetes/common/004-rbac-control-plane.yaml, go.mod	The CRD removes EVPN and VTEP declarations. Node and control-plane RBAC remove VTEP permissions. The github.com/openshift/api dependency is updated.
Remove EVPN startup flags bindata/network/ovn-kubernetes/common/008-script-lib.yaml, bindata/network/ovn-kubernetes/managed/ovnkube-control-plane.yaml, bindata/network/ovn-kubernetes/self-hosted/ovnkube-control-plane.yaml	Startup scripts no longer construct or pass --enable-evpn to OVN-Kubernetes processes.
Update rendering and tests pkg/network/ovn_kubernetes.go, pkg/network/ovn_kubernetes_test.go	Rendering no longer sets EVPN template variables. Tests remove EVPN from feature-gate configurations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 26d4e

The dependency update is not accompanied by a matching vendor refresh, leaving build metadata inconsistent and potentially causing build or release failures; merge should wait until vendor is regenerated.

• Ignore

❌ Failed checks (5 errors)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Pr Quality	❌ Error	The 445-line diff removes CRD fields, RBAC, and runtime flags, but the description has no automated CI testing/platforms section and no user-impact or upgrade/rollback guidance.	Add Why, What, and Testing sections with CI jobs/platforms. Document user-facing EVPN API/runtime impact and upgrade or rollback considerations.
Commit Message Quality	❌ Error	Commits 79a2951 and 2a4f822 contain no rationale beyond a sign-off, and 26d4e3a has the vague subject “updated...” with no body.	Squash the related changes or rewrite commits with concise component-scoped subjects and bodies that explain why EVPN feature-gate removal is required.
E2e Tests For Feature Changes	❌ Error	pkg/network/ovn_kubernetes.go removes EVPN render flags that controlled user-facing manifests; the branch has no test/e2e changes and the description has no Testing or How to verify section.	Add or modify test/e2e coverage and add the required section with CI lanes, platforms, and results. If E2E is not feasible, document why and follow the stated override process.
Docs For Feature And Behavior Changes	❌ Error	The diff removes public CUDN EVPN fields, the VTEP CRD/RBAC, and EVPN startup flags; no files under docs/ changed.	Add docs describing the EVPN API and runtime removal, migration impact, and default behavior. If docs are not required, explain why in the PR and use the specified override.
Title check	❌ Error	The title uses the imperative mood and stays under 72 characters, but it does not prefix the affected component.	Prefix the title with the affected component, such as "ovn-kubernetes: Remove EVPN feature gate references".

Check name	Status	Explanation
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	Docstring check was indeterminate for this PR — some files could not be analyzed in time. Not blocking.
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.
Unit Tests For Go Changes	✅ Passed	The PR modifies six bindata YAML templates and pkg/network/ovn_kubernetes.go, and also modifies pkg/network/ovn_kubernetes_test.go with rendering and feature-gate test updates.
Rbac Least Privilege	✅ Passed	The PR adds no RBAC rules: both changed OVN RBAC files have 0 additions and only remove vteps permissions, including mutation verbs.
Stale Project Docs And Config	✅ Passed	The PR changes only manifests, Go, and dependency files; scoped docs/config are unchanged, and no removed EVPN/VTEP identifiers remain in them. The .coderabbit.yaml EVPN component reference remains...
Go And Test Code Quality	✅ Passed	The PR changes only remove EVPN lines from production Go and feature-gate entries from tests; no flagged logging, error, duration, concurrency, IPv6, Fatal, Sleep, or Setenv patterns were introduced.
Ai-Generated Code Smell	✅ Passed	The full diff adds no comments, test blocks, variables, or AI-tool references; it only removes EVPN code/tests and updates dependency metadata.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	The PR changes only remove EVPN feature-gate entries from the Go test setup; it adds no Ginkgo titles or dynamic test-name construction.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	The PR only removes FeatureGateEVPN from existing standard Go test configurations; it adds no Ginkgo It blocks, cluster resource operations, waits, or assertions.
Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The PR adds no Ginkgo e2e tests or new unavailable-API references; its only test-file changes remove EVPN feature-gate entries.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The PR adds no Ginkgo e2e tests or It/Describe/Context/When declarations; it only removes EVPN entries from existing Go unit-test configuration.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	PR diff contains only EVPN removals and a dependency/test update; no scheduling constraints are added. Existing Deployment selectors, affinity, tolerations, replicas, and maxUnavailable remain unch...
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	The PR adds no OTE binaries, Ginkgo suite setup, or process-level stdout writes; its Go diff only removes EVPN feature-gate configuration and test entries.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The PR adds no Ginkgo e2e tests or new test declarations; the only test-file changes remove EVPN feature-gate entries, so this compatibility check is not triggered.
No-Weak-Crypto	✅ Passed	The PR adds no weak-crypto primitives, custom crypto, or secret comparisons; its 5 added lines only update openshift/api checksums and a feature-gate test list.
Container-Privileges	✅ Passed	The master-to-HEAD diff adds no privilege-related manifest lines; existing hostNetwork, privileged, and runAs settings match the base, while the changed RBAC and EVPN blocks are deletions.
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs	✅ Passed	The PR adds no logging or sensitive data. The diff only removes EVPN logic and updates dependency/test metadata; non-empty additions contain no logging or secret-related keywords.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description clearly explains the EVPN feature gate removal and lists the related code, manifest, test, and dependency changes.
