June 2025: Delivered a targeted bug fix in the red-hat-storage/ocs-ci repository to improve CI reliability for CephFS CSI components. Corrected the Jenkins simulation test by updating the Kubernetes pod selector from csi-cephfsplugin to openshift-storage.cephfs.csi.ceph.com-nodeplugin, ensuring the test targets the correct CephFS CSI node plugin pods and validates the intended components. This change is implemented in commit be234672902d8d705581761bdbf24244598ac4a5 and relates to issue #12421. The fix reduces false negatives/positives, leading to more stable CI signals for storage-related changes.
