Fixes #988.

InNamespace was silently ignored when List or DeleteAllOf targeted a cluster-scoped resource. This could turn a namespace-restricted list into an unfiltered cluster-wide list and, more seriously, turn a namespace-restricted DeleteAllOf into a cluster-wide delete-collection request.

This change:

  • validates non-empty namespace options before dispatching to the typed, unstructured, metadata, or cache-backed client paths;
  • returns an error when a namespace is supplied for a cluster-scoped resource;
  • rejects the operation before an HTTP request is sent;
  • preserves cluster-wide operations when no namespace is specified;
  • normalizes functional options so each caller-supplied option is applied exactly once.

Tests cover typed, unstructured, and metadata representations for both List and DeleteAllOf, verify that rejected operations send no request, and confirm custom options are invoked only once.

A compatibility consideration is that callers passing InNamespace for cluster-scoped resources will now receive an error instead of silently performing an unscoped operation.

Validation:

go test ./pkg/client -count=1
go test ./pkg/client/fake -count=1
go test ./pkg/client/... -count=1
go test -race ./pkg/client -run '^TestClient$' -ginkgo.focus='issue #988|should invoke each caller-supplied' -count=1
go vet ./pkg/client/...
make lint

Hi @dlanov. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

The filtering behavior of List() and DeleteAllOf() are different when they are used with the "InNamespace" predicate.
