Nikola JokicandCopilot App 7833438dd7 Handle scale set messages with parallel workers in the listener
The scaleset listener no longer dissects the message it polls. It owns
session management, polling and acking, and hands the whole message to a
single Scale call, so acquiring jobs and recording metrics move to the
only component that still reads them.

That handover is what makes the work parallelisable. The listener used to
replay a message one API call at a time, in a fixed order: every job
started patch, then every job completed, then the scale patch. The job
events touch distinct EphemeralRunners and carry no ordering between
them, so they now run across a bounded worker pool, with the worker that
patches the EphemeralRunnerSet running alongside them.

The one ordering that does matter is kept. deleteIdleEphemeralRunners
skips a runner only once it carries a job request ID, so a patch that
lowers the replica count could offer up a runner that just picked up a
job if it were published while job started patches were still in flight.
The scaling worker therefore waits for the event workers on a scale down,
and only then. A patch that scales up or holds cannot delete anything.

Kubernetes has no bulk write: get, create, update, patch and delete are
single-resource verbs, and deletecollection is the only collection-scoped
mutating verb there is, so N events cannot be collapsed into fewer
requests. Server side apply is a PATCH on one object URI and does not
change that. Issuing the N patches concurrently over the one HTTP/2
connection is the available win; the alternative is writing fewer
objects, which trades N cheap independent writes for one contended,
watch-amplifying, size-bounded write.

The pool size is configurable through listenerConfig.scaler.workers,
alongside the existing qps and burst, and defaults to 10: two calls per
event keeps a full pool well inside the default QPS budget.

Statistics are now cached by the scaler. The listener stopped tracking
them, and a long poll that times out carries no message at all, so
without the cache an idle scale set would stop converging.

## githubConfigUrl is the GitHub url for where you want to configure runners
## ex: https://github.com/myorg/myrepo or https://github.com/myorg or https://github.com/enterprises/myenterprise
githubConfigUrl: ""
scaleSetLabels: []
## githubConfigSecret is the k8s secret information to use when authenticating via the GitHub API.
## You can choose to supply:
## A) a PAT token,
## B) a GitHub App, or
## C) a pre-defined secret.
## The syntax for each of these variations is documented below.
## (Variation A) When using a PAT token, the syntax is as follows:
githubConfigSecret:
# Example:
# github_token: "ghp_sampleSampleSampleSampleSampleSample"
github_token: ""
#
## (Variation B) When using a GitHub App, the syntax is as follows:
# githubConfigSecret:
# # NOTE: IDs MUST be strings, use quotes
# # The github_app_id can be an app_id or the client_id
# github_app_id: ""
# github_app_installation_id: ""
# github_app_private_key: |
# private key line 1
# private key line 2
# .
# .
# .
# private key line N
#
## (Variation C) When using a pre-defined secret.
## The secret can be pulled either directly from Kubernetes, or from the vault, depending on configuration.
## Kubernetes secret in the same namespace that the gha-runner-scale-set is going to deploy.
## On the other hand, if the vault is configured, secret name will be used to fetch the app configuration.
## The syntax is as follows:
# githubConfigSecret: pre-defined-secret
## Notes on using pre-defined Kubernetes secrets:
## You need to make sure your predefined secret has all the required secret data set properly.
## For a pre-defined secret using GitHub PAT, the secret needs to be created like this:
## > kubectl create secret generic pre-defined-secret --namespace=my_namespace --from-literal=github_token='ghp_your_pat'
## For a pre-defined secret using GitHub App, the secret needs to be created like this:
## > kubectl create secret generic pre-defined-secret --namespace=my_namespace --from-literal=github_app_id=123456 --from-literal=github_app_installation_id=654321 --from-literal=github_app_private_key='-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----*******'
## proxy can be used to define proxy settings that will be used by the
## controller, the listener and the runner of this scale set.

## maxRunners is the max number of runners the autoscaling runner set will scale up to.
# maxRunners: 5
## minRunners is the min number of idle runners. The target number of runners created will be
## calculated as a sum of minRunners and the number of jobs assigned to the scale set.
# minRunners: 0
# runnerGroup: "default"
## name of the runner scale set to create. Defaults to the helm release name
# runnerScaleSetName: ""
## A self-signed CA certificate for communication with the GitHub server can be
## provided using a config map key selector. If `runnerMountPath` is set, for
## each runner pod ARC will:
## - create a `github-server-tls-cert` volume containing the certificate
## specified in `certificateFrom`
## - mount that volume on path `runnerMountPath`/{certificate name}
## - set NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS environment variable to that same path
## - set RUNNER_UPDATE_CA_CERTS environment variable to "1" (as of version
## 2.303.0 this will instruct the runner to reload certificates on the host)
##
## If any of the above had already been set by the user in the runner pod
## template, ARC will observe those and not overwrite them.
## Example configuration:
#
# githubServerTLS:
# certificateFrom:
# configMapKeyRef:
# name: config-map-name
# key: ca.crt
# runnerMountPath: /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
# keyVault:
