…is set When `availability_zones` pins pods to specific AZs via node affinity, the number of eligible topology domains is constrained. If `minDomains` exceeds the number of pinned zones, Kubernetes treats the global minimum as 0, and with `maxSkew=1` only one pod can be scheduled — leaving additional replicas stuck pending. Fix by suppressing `minDomains` in the topology spread constraint whenever `availability_zones` is set, matching the existing behavior for soft spread constraints.

Extract topology_spread_min_domains helper and add unit test covering the four suppression cases: soft spread, az-pinned, both, and neither. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
When
availability_zonespins pods to specific AZs via node affinity,minDomainswas still being applied to the topology spread constraint.minDomainstells the scheduler "there must be at least N eligible topology domains." IfminDomainsexceeds the number of pinned zones, Kubernetes treats the global minimum as 0 — and withmaxSkew=1, only one pod can be scheduled at a time, leaving additional replicas stuck pending indefinitely.Fixes CLO-74.
Solution
Suppress
minDomainsin theTopologySpreadConstraintwhenavailability_zonesis set, mirroring the existing behavior for soft spread constraints. A warning is logged whenmin_domainsis configured but will be ignored.Testing
See follow-up commit for unit test.
