hive: job to update RPM lockfile for hermetic builds

[2uasimojo]

Deliberate "never run" cron config: intended to be run "manually" (via the /ci:trigger-periodic skill).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Adds a manually triggered OpenShift Hive periodic job to update the RPM lockfile for hermetic builds.
• Uses a “never run” cron schedule and the /ci:trigger-periodic skill instead of scheduled execution.
• Registers the hive-update-rpm-lockfile step with required credentials, subscription handling, lockfile generation, cleanup, and pull request automation.
• Adds ownership and metadata for the new CI step.

Interacting with pj-rehearse

Comment: /pj-rehearse to run up to 5 rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse skip to opt-out of rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse {test-name}, with each test separated by a space, to run one or more specific rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse more to run up to 10 rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse max to run up to 25 rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse auto-ack to run up to 5 rehearsals, and add the rehearsals-ack label on success
Comment: /pj-rehearse list to get an up-to-date list of affected jobs
Comment: /pj-rehearse abort to abort all active rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse network-access-allowed to allow rehearsals of tests that have the restrict_network_access field set to false. This must be executed by an openshift org member who is not the PR author

Once you are satisfied with the results of the rehearsals, comment: /pj-rehearse ack to unblock merge. When the rehearsals-ack label is present on your PR, merge will no longer be blocked by rehearsals.
If you would like the rehearsals-ack label removed, comment: /pj-rehearse reject to re-block merging.

Walkthrough

Adds a scheduled Hive CI job and a step that generates the RPM lockfile. The step validates credentials, registers the environment, installs lockfile tooling, and creates or updates a GitHub pull request when the lockfile changes.

Changes

Hive RPM lockfile automation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Step contract and schedule ci-operator/step-registry/hive/update-rpm-lockfile/*, ci-operator/config/openshift/hive/openshift-hive-master__periodic.yaml	Defines the step command, environment variables, credential mounts, resources, documentation, ownership metadata, and periodic job schedule.
Credential setup and lockfile generation ci-operator/step-registry/hive/update-rpm-lockfile/hive-update-rpm-lockfile-commands.sh	Validates inputs, registers with subscription-manager, installs rpm-lockfile-prototype, generates the lockfile, restores repository changes, and optionally exports an artifact.
Fork and pull-request automation ci-operator/step-registry/hive/update-rpm-lockfile/hive-update-rpm-lockfile-commands.sh	Configures GitHub access, manages the fork and branch, avoids unchanged updates, and creates or updates the pull request.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d2fbc

The change cannot reliably be used as intended because the periodic job is missing generated Prow configuration and the path for updating an existing lockfile pull request can fail. These issues should be fixed before merging.

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly and concisely describes the main change: adding a Hive job to update the RPM lockfile for hermetic builds.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
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.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	The PR adds CI YAML, ownership metadata, and a shell script; diff inspection found no Ginkgo APIs or test-title construction in any changed file.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	The diff changes only YAML, shell, JSON, and OWNERS files. It adds no Ginkgo test code or It/Eventually/BeforeEach assertions, so this check is not applicable.
Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The diff adds CI configuration and a lockfile-update shell step only; it adds no Ginkgo tests or test declarations that could reference unsupported MicroShift APIs.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The diff adds CI YAML, OWNERS, metadata, and a shell automation step only; it adds no Ginkgo e2e tests or multi-node test assumptions.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	The diff adds a Prow periodic job and CI step automation only; it introduces no deployment/controller code or topology constraints such as affinity, replicas, selectors, tolerations, or PDBs.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	The PR adds CI YAML and a shell step, but no OTE binary source or process-level setup. Its echo calls are CI-step logging, not OTE stdout.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The diff adds CI YAML, metadata, OWNERS, and a shell step, but no Ginkgo declarations or e2e test files. The custom check is therefore not applicable.
No-Weak-Crypto	✅ Passed	The pull request adds no MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, Blowfish, or ECB usage, crypto implementation, or secret-value comparison; the shell script passes syntax validation.
Container-Privileges	✅ Passed	The PR adds no privileged, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation, or root security settings in its YAML or generated Prow manifest.
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs	✅ Passed	The new script disables xtrace before credential use, captures API responses, and logs only paths, statuses, URLs, and metadata; the credential-helper echo is consumed by Git, not CI logs.
