Closes: #OCPBUGS-112043

- What I did

The MCO's registry utilities was using the CC CR to fetch the proxy configuration and directly pass it to the container-libs image library (the old one, not the new mono-repo). Due to known limitations of the old containers/images libs and that the OS Image Stream logic used to live in the operator and not in the MCC, that recently gained the proxy env-vars, we handled the proxy in best-effort.

There's already a fix in container-libs that allows us passing all the needed information to the library without the need of the env-vars (useful for scenarios that don't have them, like the operator), but the fix cannot be consumed till we migrate to container-libs from container/images.

This change basically paws the way for the future migration while assuming that in the new current scenario with everything running in pods/containers/scripts that have the env-vars properly set, by ignoring the user given proxy settings if the configuration has NO_PROXY or different proxies for HTTP and HTTPS, delegating the proxy configuration to the underlaying container/images that will pick them from the env-vars.

- How to verify it

TBD

- Description for the changelog

Proxy configuration now falls back to system environment variables (HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, NO_PROXY) instead of only using the ControllerConfig proxy, fixing cases where NO_PROXY was ignored.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Proxy settings are now retained during system bootstrap across supported environments.
    • NO_PROXY values are recognized and included in proxy status information.
    • Configurations with different HTTP and HTTPS proxies now preserve existing environment settings instead of applying an unsupported override.
    • Explicit proxy configurations are applied consistently when creating system contexts.

Walkthrough

The change adds NO_PROXY support, replaces implicit controller proxy handling with explicit WithProxy configuration, preserves environment proxy behavior for unsupported combinations, updates filesystem wiring, and revises bootstrap and proxy tests.

Changes

Proxy configuration flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Proxy status input and builder behavior
cmd/machine-config-osimagestream/helpers.go, pkg/imageutils/sys_context.go
getProxyConfig includes NO_PROXY in ProxyStatus. SysContextBuilder accepts explicit proxy status through WithProxy. Controller configuration only supplies certificates. Unsupported proxy configurations leave environment variables unchanged.
Proxy wiring and bootstrap integration
pkg/imageutils/sys_context_fs.go, pkg/controller/bootstrap/bootstrap.go
Filesystem construction passes configured proxies to the builder. Bootstrap no longer disables proxy handling for external topology.
Proxy behavior validation
pkg/imageutils/sys_context_test.go, pkg/imageutils/sys_context_fs_test.go
Tests cover explicit proxies, controller configurations without explicit proxy input, NO_PROXY, and differing HTTP and HTTPS proxies.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f9d95

The change adjusts proxy handling to preserve system proxy environment variables, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains based on the supplied evidence.

Add coverage for NoProxy fallback.

Add a case with equal HTTP and HTTPS proxy values plus a non-empty NoProxy. Assert that DockerProxyURL is nil. The current cases cover differing proxies, but they do not exercise the new NoProxy condition in buildProxy.
