# RCLUSTER-WP-ADHOC-2026-07-27

## Enable and verify Knative init containers

```task
id: RCLUSTER-WP-ADHOC-2026-07-27-T01
status: done
priority: high
```

Enable only `kubernetes.podspec-init-containers` in Knative
`config-features`, persist the idempotent installer patch, and assert it in
the verifier. This supports fail-closed workload admission after asynchronous
NetworkPolicy reconciliation.

2026-07-27: Enabled the feature on railiance01 and validated a
`rapp-qonto` Knative Service containing a restricted init container through
the live admission webhook. A disposable same-policy pod proved
`gate=passed` before `application=admitted`.
