Gateway with valid EnvoyPorxy and GatewayClass with invalid EnvoyProxy should be provisioned
Failed gateways should not trigger IR deletion for Setting invalid values in EnvoyProxy deletes Deployment all together #7735

+				// For https://github.com/envoyproxy/gateway/issues/7735, if a gateway/gatewayclass
+				// referenced an invalid EnvoyProxy, it's part of failed gateways, we shouldn't delete
+				// the IR.
+				for _, gtw := range result.Gateways {


feel like a workaround, can we address this in a better way in the translator to populate Status w/o trckling down error to downstream callers

what about add a invalid/valid into Infra?

type Infra struct { Invalid *bool // Proxy defines managed proxy infrastructure. Proxy *ProxyInfra `json:"proxy" yaml:"proxy"` }

trying to better understand why this is needed

a failedGateway in the gateway API layer impacts Status of the Gateway

if we fail, we dont insert any invalid values in the IR

we have validations in the infra layer deal with errors

we are trying to allow partial valid IRs to go through

we dont insert any invalid values in the IR

if we do this, there will be a delete event in Infra layer.

can you elaborate here

#7735 (comment) showed the delete event.

thats because it most likely deleted the infra IR instead of creating an Infra IR with unset stat val

that's what I did in internal/gatewayapi/translator.go L474.

arkodg · 2026-01-30T03:01:17Z

internal/ir/infra.go

 type Infra struct {
+	// Invalid indicates whether the IR is invalid.
+	// This is an optional bool so that we won't update all existing files.
+	Invalid *bool `json:"invalid,omitempty" yaml:"invalid,omitempty"`


is this needed anymore ?

internal/gatewayapi/translator.go


 // InitIRs checks if mergeGateways is enabled in EnvoyProxy config and initializes XdsIR and InfraIR maps with adequate keys.
-func (t *Translator) InitIRs(gateways []*GatewayContext) (map[string]*ir.Xds, map[string]*ir.Infra) {
+func (t *Translator) InitIRs(acceptedGateways, failedGateways []*GatewayContext) (map[string]*ir.Xds, map[string]*ir.Infra) {


Nit: the two loops inside this method are exact the same and can be a bit confusing when reading the code(I expected there are different behaviors when I reviewed the code at the first time).

It can be simplified as:

func (t *Translator) InitIRs(gateways []*GatewayContext) (map[string]*ir.Xds, map[string]*ir.Infra) {

with one loop.

Also, it would be good to add a line of comment to the caller to explain why the Infra IRs of failed Gateways also need to be created.

we shouldn't merge them, in most of the cases, we just need acceptedGateways.
failedGateways will be removed in the next iteration.

why does this need to be moved down

follow up, should this be Accepted:True and ResolvedRefs:False ?
cc @zhaohuabing

should we use RefNotPermitted here?

// This condition indicates whether the controller was able to resolve all // the object references for the Gateway that are not part of a specific // Listener configuration, and also provides a positive-polarity summary of // Listener's "ResolvedRefs" condition. This condition does not directly // impact the Gateway's Accepted or Programmed conditions. // // Possible reasons for this condition to be True are: // // * "ResolvedRefs" // // Possible reasons for this condition to be False are: // // * "RefNotPermitted" // * "InvalidClientCertificateRef" // * "ListenersNotResolved" // // Controllers may raise this condition with other reasons, but should // prefer to use the reasons listed above to improve interoperability. // // Note: This condition is considered Experimental and may change in future // releases of the API.

probably ListenersNotResolved, from https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/blob/8ecfe98081f74aec9eb8c44ef265380e2edb9094/apis/v1/gateway_types.go#L1323
RefNotPermitted seems more scoped to ReferenceGrant issues

This meant that if the listener were from an XListenerSet, whether or not the Secret associated with the certificateRef was in the same namespace as the XListenerSet, it would not be permitted. Additionally, and relatedly, this fixes an issue where an XListenerSet could reference a Secret in the gateway's namespace without a ReferenceGrant being present. With this change we add a new GetNamespace() method to gatewayapi.ListenerContext which returns the listener's gateway's namespace for a listener added directly to the gateway, or the XListenerSet's namespace otherwise. This is similar to some of the other methods that were added to ListenerContext in support of XListenerSets. The new method is used when creating the `crossNamespaceFrom` to determine if the certificateRef is permitted. If the Secret and XListenerSet are in the same namespace, it is permitted. If that is not the case a ReferenceGrant from the XListenerSet to the Secret will be properly searched for.
