Summary

  • Fix MachineConfig YAML encoding of large integers such as sizeMiB/startMiB so values >= 1e6 are written as decimals (8389000) instead of scientific notation (8.389e+06).
  • Preserve JSON numbers as int64 before YAML encoding in TranslateBytesYAML. json.Unmarshal into interface{} otherwise uses float64, and yaml.v3 then formats those values with scientific notation. MCO/Ignition cannot unmarshal that into *int.
  • Add unit and OpenShift 4.18 regression tests covering the GitHub butane/MCO: MiB fileds are being in scientific notation (1e6, instead of 1000000) #2309 and OCPBUGS-114878 reproductions.

Fixes #2309
Fixes: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-114878

This is an alternative to #2310: that change YAML-unmarshals the intermediate JSON (CI currently fails for missing release notes). This PR keeps a JSON decoder with UseNumber() so integers stay integers, and includes tests plus a release-note entry.

Preserve JSON numbers as int64 before YAML encoding so sizeMiB and similar fields are not written in scientific notation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The JSON-to-YAML translation now preserves large integers as decimal YAML values. Utility and OpenShift 4.18 regression tests verify this behavior, and the release notes document the fix.

Changes

YAML Integer Preservation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Numeric conversion and utility validation
butane/config/util/util.go, butane/config/util/util_test.go
TranslateBytesYAML uses json.Decoder.UseNumber() and recursively converts numeric values before YAML encoding. Tests verify large integer preservation, float output, and absence of scientific notation.
OpenShift regression coverage and release note
butane/config/openshift/v4_18/translate_test.go, docs/release-notes.md
The OpenShift 4.18 test checks decimal output for large size_mib values. The release notes document the MachineConfig YAML fix.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d0752

The PR improves large-integer MachineConfig output, but valid integers beyond the signed 64-bit range can still be rounded and emitted incorrectly. Merge should wait for exact preservation of those values and a regression test.

Explanation

The implementation addresses issue [#2309] by preserving large JSON integers and emitting decimal MachineConfig YAML values. Unit and OpenShift 4.18 regression tests cover the reported scientific-notation cases.

Keep out-of-range JSON integers exact.

convertJSONNumbers converts github.com/clarketm/json.Number values that do not fit in int64 to float64. A valid integer such as 18446744073709551615 can therefore lose precision before yaml.NewEncoder serializes it. Preserve integral literals with an unsigned or arbitrary-precision representation, and add a math.MaxUint64 regression test in butane/config/util/util_test.go.
