Preserve route behavior in endpoint probes

[kahirokunn]

Problem

Endpoint probe rules did not preserve Host rewrites from the original HTTPRoute. For example:

filters:
- type: URLRewrite
  urlRewrite:
    hostname: app.default.svc.cluster.local

During the DomainMapping transition in knative/serving#16685, this caused probes for the previous backend to use the public Host instead of app.default.svc.cluster.local.

Changes

• Copy the original HTTPRoute rule when creating endpoint probe rules, preserving Host rewrites and other route behavior.

/kind bug

Release Note

Fixed endpoint probes to preserve route behavior, including backend Host rewrites.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved ingress probe handling when backend routes or rewrite hosts change.
  • Preserved route settings, headers, timeouts, and hostname rewrites during probe transitions.
  • Improved detection of valid probe matches to avoid incorrectly identifying unrelated routes.
  • Ensured previous and current backends are correctly retained during updates.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for rewrite hosts, probe matching, backend transitions, and route preservation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The reconciler now carries hostname rewrite values from Ingress and existing HTTPRoute rules into endpoint-probe routes. It preserves source rule fields, computes current and previous backend targets, and updates probe matching and hash handling. Tests cover these behaviors.

Changes

Ingress rewrite host propagation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Rewrite host route contracts pkg/reconciler/ingress/fixtures_test.go, pkg/reconciler/ingress/resources/httproute.go	Fixtures and route builders support optional hostname rewrite filters. AddEndpointProbe copies the source rule, updates the probe hash, and preserves source rule fields.
Backend rewrite propagation pkg/reconciler/ingress/reconcile_resources.go	Reconciliation computes probe targets with their owning rules and backend references. It installs endpoint probes for current and previous backends and requires the probe hash override value for probe matches.
Rewrite host reconciliation tests pkg/reconciler/ingress/lister_test.go, pkg/reconciler/ingress/ingress_test.go, pkg/reconciler/ingress/resources/httproute_test.go, pkg/reconciler/ingress/reconcile_resources_test.go	Tests cover rewrite host propagation, source rule preservation, probe hash updates, backend target computation, and endpoint probes from previous routes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 53a22

The PR preserves route rewrites for endpoint probes, but transitions between same-name backends that differ by port, group, or kind can still share probe paths and readiness URLs, potentially validating the wrong target. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to make probe identities unique.
