[UX] Add "Accepted" and "Programmed" status columns to HTTPRoute CRD printer columns #4375
Description
What would you like to be added:
Currently, running kubectl get httproutes only shows Hostnames and Age. As a user, I cannot see if my route was actually accepted by the Gateway or if there is a configuration error without specifically running describe or using -o yaml.
Why this is needed:
I suggest adding additionalPrinterColumns to the HTTPRoute CRD definition for the Accepted and Programmed conditions.
While an HTTPRoute can have multiple parents, showing the status of the first parent (.status.parents[0]) serves the 90% use-case where a route belongs to a single Gateway, providing immediate feedback during development.
Example output:
NAME HOSTNAMES ACCEPTED PROGRAMMED AGE
api-route ["api.test.com"] True True 18h
sync-route ["cdn.test.com"] True Unknown 2m
error-route ["bad.test.com"] False False 5m
Including both allows users to distinguish between "The controller likes my YAML" (Accepted) and "The network is actually carrying traffic" (Programmed).
Other resources like Gateway show their status in the default output. Bringing this parity to HTTPRoute makes troubleshooting much faster.
