What type of PR is this?
/kind bug

What does this PR do / why we need it:
The OpenShift GitOps Operator generates default NetworkPolicy resources for every ArgoCD custom resource instance it reconciles. Of the 7 default policies per instance, 5 use an unscoped "namespaceSelector: {}" (matches every namespace in the cluster) or an entirely open ingress rule, rather than being scoped to the actual expected source (e.g. openshift-monitoring for metrics scraping, openshift-ingress for router traffic).

On clusters running OVN-Kubernetes, a "namespaceSelector: {}" NetworkPolicy causes OVN-Kubernetes to build an Address Set flagged as matching all namespaces; any pod add/delete anywhere in the cluster then forces a full relist/recompute of that address set node-side. On large clusters, this multiplies into hundreds of cluster-wide-recompute-triggering policies.

The operator-generated metrics/monitoring ingress rules should be scoped to their actual source namespace. This would both restore the intended least-privilege network isolation and avoid generating cluster-wide-recompute-triggering Address Sets at scale.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security
    • Metrics traffic for the Dex, Notifications, Application, Repo, and commit-server components, plus the ApplicationSet Controller, is scoped to monitoring namespaces on OpenShift.
    • ApplicationSet webhook traffic is allowed from OpenShift ingress namespaces in a separate rule from metrics traffic.
    • On non-OpenShift clusters, existing namespace-selection behavior is unchanged.
  • Documentation
    • Updated network policy documentation to describe platform-specific namespace selection and traffic rules.

Walkthrough

NetworkPolicy metrics rules use OpenShift monitoring selectors, and ApplicationSet webhook rules use OpenShift ingress peers. On other clusters, selectors retain unrestricted namespace matching. Unit, Ginkgo, and end-to-end tests validate the rules.

Platform-specific selectors and policy rules
argocd-operator/controllers/argocd/networkpolicies.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocd/commitserver.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocd/networkpolicies_test.go
Selector helpers return OpenShift policy-group matches or unrestricted namespace matches on other clusters. Metrics rules use the monitoring selector. ApplicationSet webhook traffic on port 7000 uses ingress peers, with a separate monitoring rule on port 8080. The unit test checks the separate rules and peers.

Ginkgo and end-to-end tests validate monitoring and ingress peers, the ApplicationSet rule split, and unscoped namespace selectors.

Reject unrestricted ingress in the Dex rule.

The generated Dex policy requires rule 0 to contain a pod selector for the Argo CD server. The E2E assertion checks only that rule 0 has the expected ports. If From becomes empty or omitted, the rule allows every source, passes networkPolicyHasUnscopedNamespaceSelector, and still passes the Dex assertion.

Assert the exact OVN ingress label value.

The OpenShift E2E helper checks network.openshift.io/policy-group=ingress, but it only checks that policy-group.network.openshift.io/ingress exists. A non-empty value can therefore pass. Check that the second label is present and has the required empty value.

Cover the commit-server NetworkPolicy when Source Hydrator is enabled.

UseCommitServer(cr) depends on Spec.SourceHydrator.Enabled, but this fixture leaves it disabled and omits example-argocd-commit-server-network-policy from expectedNPs. The new unscoped-selector check therefore never evaluates the commit-server metrics peer.

 						Enabled: new(true),

This test change covers the existing commit-server metrics rule. Correcting that rule's unscoped selector is a separate production change.

230-230: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Require exactly the two ApplicationSet webhook peers.

On OpenShift, networkPolicyPeerSelectsIngress returns true when it finds both expected labels, even when additional peers exist. networkPolicyHasUnscopedNamespaceSelector rejects only an empty selector, so a broad nonempty MatchExpressions peer can pass the test. The generated policy currently returns exactly the two expected peers; this is a regression-coverage gap, not a current production-policy security defect.

Suggested fix
 func networkPolicyPeerSelectsIngress(peers []networkingv1.NetworkPolicyPeer) bool {
 	if !fixture.RunningOnOpenShift() {
 		return len(peers) == 1 && peers[0].NamespaceSelector != nil &&
 			len(peers[0].NamespaceSelector.MatchLabels) == 0 &&
 			len(peers[0].NamespaceSelector.MatchExpressions) == 0
 	}
