✨ WIP Improved error handling around installedBundle and reconcile modularization

[bentito]

Description

WIP, because:

• I'd like feedback on whether the reconciler() loop modularization seems good and whether the proposed logic flow changes match up with https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-controller/issues/1027 , which is restated below.

• Unit tests are still broken. Just looking for feedback on overall approach.

• This branch/PR cherry picks all the new commits (as of now) from branch/PR: https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-controller/pull/1007

• vs. 1007 this PR also merged a slightly updated reconciler() from main around preflight implementation, so we should check logic still as intended

1. Improved Error Handling

• State Preservation: The installedBundle information is fetched early on and preserved throughout the reconciliation process. Even if errors occur later, the status accurately reflects the previously installed bundle.

• Partial Progress Reporting: Each step has its own error handling and status update logic. If an error occurs in one step, the status is updated accordingly (e.g., setResolvedStatusConditionFailed, setInstalledStatusConditionFailed), but the reconciliation process continues where possible. This ensures that partial progress is reported.

• Progressing Status: The setInstalledStatusConditionProgressing function is used to indicate when a new version is resolved but not yet installed. The clearInstalledStatusConditionProgressing function is called when the installation is complete or if the resolved and installed bundles match.

2. Modularization

• Helper Functions: The reconcile function is broken down into smaller, self-contained helper functions (handleFinalization, resolveBundle, validateAndCheckDeprecation, unpackBundle, runPreflightChecks, installOrUpgrade, and watchDynamicResources). Each function handles a specific task, making the code more organized, readable, and testable.

3. Helm Secret as Source of Truth

• GetInstalledBundle: The InstalledBundleGetter.GetInstalledBundle function is used to retrieve the installed bundle information directly from the Helm secret, ensuring that the status accurately reflects the actual installed bundle.

4. Comprehensive Status Updates

• Status Updates at Each Step: Throughout the reconcile function and its helpers, status conditions are updated to reflect the progress and outcome of each step. This provides detailed information about the reconciliation process, even if errors occur.

• Progressing Status: The TypeProgressing condition is used to clearly indicate when an installation or upgrade is in progress.
