Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements

    • GitHub App installation lookups are faster and more efficient through caching.
    • Repeated requests for unknown organizations are temporarily cached, reducing unnecessary API calls.
    • Concurrent requests for the same installation information are consolidated.
    • Configured installation IDs continue to bypass installation discovery.
  • Monitoring

    • Added metrics for GitHub App installation-listing requests, including provider-only call tracking and duration reporting.
    • Updated metric documentation to clarify provider-scoped calls and the new operation label.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds SCMCallScope implementations, updates SCM metrics for provider-only calls, and refactors GitHub App installation resolution with positive and negative caching plus singleflight coordination.

Changes

SCM observability and installation resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
SCM scope and metrics contract
api/v1alpha1/scm_call_scope.go, api/v1alpha1/scmprovider_types.go, internal/metrics/metrics.go, internal/metrics/scm_provider_metrics_test.go, docs/monitoring/metrics.md
SCM resources expose a shared SCMCallScope. Metrics derive provider, provider kind, repository, and namespace labels from that scope. The list-installations operation and provider-only metric behavior are documented and tested.
Cached GitHub installation resolution
internal/scms/github/git_operations.go, internal/scms/github/git_operations_test.go, internal/scms/github/github_suite_test.go
GitHub installation lookup uses positive and negative caches, TTL-based miss expiry, paginated call metrics, and singleflight coalescing. Tests cover cache reuse, expiry, pagination, concurrency, and configured installation IDs.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c1281

The PR addresses installation-list contention, but the metrics documentation still incorrectly describes provider-only labels, which could mislead operators interpreting monitoring data. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness and a documentation follow-up.

Document provider-only label sources.

scm_calls_* can receive a direct provider scope. These calls have no spec.scmProviderRef, so the descriptions of scm_provider and scm_provider_kind are incorrect for list-installations. Describe both labels as scope-derived values, and mention spec.scmProviderRef only for GitRepository-scoped calls.

Suggested wording
- * `scm_provider`: The name of the referenced SCM provider resource (`spec.scmProviderRef.name`).
- * `scm_provider_kind`: The kind of that reference: `ScmProvider` (namespaced) or `ClusterScmProvider` (cluster-scoped).
+ * `scm_provider`: The name of the SCM provider in scope. For GitRepository-scoped calls, this is `spec.scmProviderRef.name`.
+ * `scm_provider_kind`: The kind of the SCM provider in scope. For GitRepository-scoped calls, this is the kind in `spec.scmProviderRef`; provider-only calls use the resource kind.

Apply the same wording in both metric sections.

Handle test server errors explicitly.

Preserve the default for an omitted page parameter, but reject non-empty values that strconv.Atoi cannot parse. Handle errors from each http.ResponseWriter.Write call.

Restore http.DefaultTransport after the suite.

BeforeSuite replaces this process-global transport and leaves disabled certificate verification in effect until the test process exits. Save the original transport and restore it in AfterSuite.

Remove InsecureSkipVerify (or set it to false) and supply a proper RootCAs pool if you need to trust custom certificates.

Not blocking but could we consider a single cache instead of one positive/one negative cache?

Since a single list call actually returns the complete set of orgs installed for this app, as of time T.
Could we consider a single cache struct?

type appInstallations struct {
    byOrg   map[string]int64
    fetched time.Time
}
var appCache map[int64]appInstallations // keyed by appID

We would probably need separate TTL for positive hit vs negative hit as we don't want to relist often for positive hits. e.g 30min TTL for positive/ 1 min TTL for negative hit

With this we get added benefit if someone uninstalls the app and re-installs it, it prevents using a stale installationID.
