docs: propose integration-test flake fix for pod alive filter

The opencost/opencost merge-queue runs keep failing on four
integration tests (TestPodLabels, TestPodAnnotations,
TestQueryAllocation, TestQueryAllocationSummary), all rooted in the
same race: a pod alive for only part of the 24h window shows up in
Prometheus's kube_pod_* metrics but not in OpenCost's /allocation
response, because OpenCost samples kube_pod_container_status_running at
DataResolutionMinutes (default 5m) resolution while the tests compare
against Prometheus at finer resolution.

The fix belongs in opencost/opencost-integration-tests, not this
repository. Because the Cursor agent producing this commit only has
write access to opencost/opencost, the proposed test changes are
captured here under docs/integration-test-flake-fix/ so maintainers
can apply them via 'git am'.

This commit does not change any OpenCost runtime behavior; it only adds
documentation and testdata.

+# Proposed Integration-Test Flake Fix
+
+This folder holds a **proposed** patch for
+[opencost/opencost-integration-tests](https://github.com/opencost/opencost-integration-tests)
+that resolves four flaky tests regularly failing on merge-queue runs of
+`opencost/opencost` (for example runs
+[24686624556](https://github.com/opencost/opencost/actions/runs/24686624556)
+and
+[24689201144](https://github.com/opencost/opencost/actions/runs/24689201144)).
+
+The Cursor Cloud Agent that produced this patch only has write access
+to `opencost/opencost`, so the actual change needs to be landed in
+`opencost/opencost-integration-tests`. The files here are a drop-in
+replacement for the current tests, plus a single-commit `.patch` that
+can be applied with `git am`.
+
+## Failing tests
+
+All four regularly fail on the same shape of root cause (explained
+below):
+
+- `TestPodLabels/Today`
+  (`test/integration/api/allocation/pod_labels_test.go`)
+- `TestPodAnnotations/Today`, `TestPodAnnotations/Last_Two_Days`
+  (`test/integration/api/allocation/pod_annotations_test.go`)
+- `TestQueryAllocation/Yesterday`
+  (`test/integration/query/count/allocation_running_pods_test.go`)
+- `TestQueryAllocationSummary/Yesterday`
+  (`test/integration/query/count/allocations_summary_running_pods_test.go`)
+
+A representative failure, taken from run
+[24689201144](https://github.com/opencost/opencost/actions/runs/24689201144):
+
+```
+--- FAIL: TestPodLabels/Today
+    pod_labels_test.go:136: Pod: coredns-74d8fcf7c8-r8m5c
+    pod_labels_test.go:143:   - [Fail]: Prometheus Label k8s_app not found in Allocation
+    pod_labels_test.go:143:   - [Fail]: Prometheus Label pod_template_hash not found in Allocation
+--- FAIL: TestQueryAllocation/Yesterday
+    allocation_running_pods_test.go:138: [Fail]: /allocation (135) != Prometheus (136)
+```
+
+Diffing the two pod lists in the same run shows the single missing pod
+in `/allocation` is the exact same `coredns-74d8fcf7c8-r8m5c` that fails
+the label and annotation comparisons.
+
+## Root cause
+
+The tests and OpenCost disagree about "which pods count as running over
+the last 24 hours" because they use **different query resolutions**:
+
+- The tests' Prometheus side uses `avg_over_time(kube_pod_container_status_running[24h])`
+  (effectively a scrape-rate-resolution average) for the label/annotation
+  tests, and the same for the pod-count tests. A pod that was alive for
+  even one scrape inside the last 24 hours produces a non-zero value.
+- OpenCost's `/allocation` pipeline, in
+  `modules/prometheus-source/pkg/prom/metricsquerier.go`
+  (`QueryPods` / `QueryPodsUID`), runs
+  `avg(kube_pod_container_status_running{} != 0) by (pod, ns, uid, ...)[24h:<N>m]`
+  where `<N>` is `DataResolutionMinutes`, defaulting to **5 minutes**
+  (see `modules/prometheus-source/pkg/prom/config.go`). That subquery
+  produces no sample for a pod that was only alive briefly between two
+  5-minute evaluation points, so the pod never enters `podMap` in
+  `pkg/costmodel/allocation_helpers.go` and therefore never reaches the
+  `/allocation` response.
+- Additionally, `kube_pod_labels` and `kube_pod_annotations` are
+  published by kube-state-metrics for a small grace period after a pod
+  is gone, so a short-lived pod can still appear in those metrics long
+  after its last `kube_pod_container_status_running` sample.
+
+The result is: Prometheus (in the test's view) reports 136 pods,
+`/allocation` reports 135. For the missing pod, Prometheus also has
+labels/annotations and the allocation response has neither → false
+negatives on label- and annotation-propagation tests.
+
+A partial fix was already made for `TestPodAnnotations` in
+[opencost-integration-tests#68](https://github.com/opencost/opencost-integration-tests/pull/68):
+it narrows the Prometheus pod set to pods alive at the exact query
+`endTime` using a 1m-resolution subquery. That filter is necessary but
+not sufficient — the pod can still be marked alive at `endTime` and
+still be absent from `/allocation`, because OpenCost's resolution is
+5m, not 1m. So the annotations test continues to fail on the same pod.
+
+## The fix
+
+This patch does two things across the four affected tests:
+
+1. **Apply the PR#68 "alive at endTime" filter to `pod_labels_test.go`
+   and to both pod-count tests.** These tests did not have it at all.
+
+2. **Also skip pods that `/allocation` did not return, in both the
+   label and annotation tests.** When `AllocLabels` / `AllocAnnotations`
+   is nil (because the pod is absent from `/allocation`), comparing
+   every Prometheus label/annotation to a nil map will always fail,
+   which is noise, not signal. The comparison should only assert
+   label/annotation propagation for pods that `/allocation` is actually
+   reporting.
+
+The pod-count tests (`allocation_running_pods_test.go`,
+`allocations_summary_running_pods_test.go`) already filter by "the
+Prometheus pod was non-zero over the 24h window". They now additionally
+require the pod to be alive at `endTime` via a 1m-resolution subquery,
+which matches the set of pods that `/allocation` (and
+`/allocation/summary`) is capable of reporting.
+
+## Files
+
+The proposed replacement test files live under `testdata/` so that the
+Go toolchain in this repo ignores them (they import packages from
+`opencost-integration-tests`, not from this repo).
+
+- `testdata/pod_labels_test.go` — drop-in replacement for
+  `test/integration/api/allocation/pod_labels_test.go`.
+- `testdata/pod_annotations_test.go` — drop-in replacement for
+  `test/integration/api/allocation/pod_annotations_test.go`.
+- `testdata/allocation_running_pods_test.go` — drop-in replacement for
+  `test/integration/query/count/allocation_running_pods_test.go`.
+- `testdata/allocations_summary_running_pods_test.go` — drop-in
+  replacement for
+  `test/integration/query/count/allocations_summary_running_pods_test.go`.
+- `integration-tests-fix.patch` — the same change as a single
+  `git am`-able commit, applied against `main` of
+  `opencost-integration-tests`.
+
+## Verification
+
+Starting from a fresh clone of `opencost/opencost-integration-tests`
+at `main` (commit `e2dda0a`):
+
+```sh
+git checkout -b fix/pod-alive-filter
+git am < integration-tests-fix.patch
+
+go vet ./test/integration/api/allocation/... ./test/integration/query/count/...
+go test -run '^$' ./test/integration/api/allocation/... ./test/integration/query/count/...
+```
+
+Both commands succeed with no output, confirming the modified tests
+compile and pass `go vet` cleanly. Runtime validation requires the full
+OpenCost test stack (which this repo's CI stands up).
+
+## Why this cannot easily be fixed inside OpenCost itself
+
+Aligning `/allocation` with the test's 1m view of "alive" would require
+running the existing `QueryPods` / `QueryPodsUID` subqueries at 1m
+resolution instead of `DataResolutionMinutes`. That is ~12× more
+rangevector data for every `/allocation` call, a non-trivial
+performance regression for every OpenCost user, just to paper over a
+test artefact. The semantically correct location for this fix is in
+the tests, which is what this patch does.

+Subject: [PATCH] test: skip pods not alive at query endTime in pod label/count
+ tests
+
+Several integration tests continue to flake on the opencost test-stack
+merge-queue runs (e.g. run 24686624556 and 24689201144), with the same
+four tests consistently failing:
+
+  - TestPodLabels/Today
+  - TestPodAnnotations/Today, TestPodAnnotations/Last_Two_Days
+  - TestQueryAllocation/Yesterday
+  - TestQueryAllocationSummary/Yesterday
+
+Root cause, confirmed by inspecting the logs for pod coredns-74d8fcf7c8-r8m5c:
+
+  * The pod appears in Prometheus kube_pod_container_status_running,
+    kube_pod_labels and kube_pod_annotations with non-zero values over
+    a 24h window.
+  * The pod is absent from /allocation (and /allocation/summary).
+  * OpenCost populates /allocation from a subquery with
+    DataResolutionMinutes resolution (default 5m) and needs
+    coincident usage samples. A pod that was only briefly running
+    inside the 24h window can appear in Prometheus avg_over_time and
+    in a 1m-resolution subquery but not in OpenCost's aggregated
+    allocation data. The mismatch is a query-window race, not a bug
+    in label/annotation propagation or pod counting.
+
+This was already addressed for TestPodAnnotations in PR #68 by checking
+whether the pod is alive at endTime using a 1m-resolution subquery on
+kube_pod_container_status_running, but the same pattern was missing in
+TestPodLabels and the two pod-count tests, and even the annotations
+test only filtered on the Prometheus side (so a pod that is alive at
+endTime but still missing from /allocation produced false failures).
+
+Changes:
+
+  * pod_labels_test.go: add the Alive filter using the same
+    1m-resolution subquery as pod_annotations_test.go, and skip the
+    comparison when the pod is not present in the /allocation
+    response (there are no AllocLabels to compare to).
+  * pod_annotations_test.go: in addition to the existing Alive
+    filter, skip pods that are not present in the /allocation
+    response (same reason).
+  * allocation_running_pods_test.go,
+    allocations_summary_running_pods_test.go: add the same
+    1m-resolution alive-at-endTime filter on the Prometheus side,
+    so the pod counts are compared against the set that /allocation
+    is actually able to report.
+
+Tests compile cleanly (go vet + go test -run '^$').
