Add LLM analyzer for AI-powered troubleshooting

Summary

This PR adds a new LLM (Large Language Model) analyzer to the Troubleshoot toolkit, enabling AI-powered analysis of support bundles using OpenAI's GPT models.

Features

  • New llm analyzer type that uses OpenAI's GPT models to analyze logs and identify issues
  • Smart file selection with prioritization of error-related content
  • Structured output with JSON schema validation for consistent results
  • Enhanced analysis output including root cause, affected resources, and actionable recommendations
  • Support for custom problem descriptions and model selection
  • Comprehensive test coverage with fixed test suite

Usage

analyzers:
  - llm:
      checkName: "AI-Powered Analysis"
      collectorName: "logs"
      fileName: "*.log"
      model: "gpt-4o-mini"
      problemDescription: "Analyze for performance issues"

Demo

A complete hands-on demonstration is available in DEMO_WALKTHROUGH.md that shows:

  • Setting up a test Kubernetes cluster with simulated issues
  • Running the LLM analyzer to detect problems
  • Re-analyzing existing support bundles with different prompts
  • Examples of OOM kills, connection failures, and security issues detection

Requirements

  • Requires OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable to be set
  • Supports GPT-4, GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, and GPT-3.5-turbo models

Testing

  • Fixed all fake tests in the test suite to properly test functionality
  • Added integration tests with mock OpenAI servers
  • Added performance and concurrency tests

Documentation

  • Updated README with LLM analyzer documentation
  • Added comprehensive demo walkthrough in DEMO_WALKTHROUGH.md
  • Included environment setup instructions

- Created Kind cluster setup with automated scripts
- Added 3 test scenarios: OOMKilled, CrashLoopBackOff, Connection errors
- Includes PostgreSQL, Redis, and nginx-ingress deployments
- Added troubleshoot collector spec for test bundles
- Documentation and implementation plan for LLM analyzer feature

This test environment provides real Kubernetes issues to validate
the LLM analyzer implementation during development.
- Added LLMAnalyze struct with fields for LLM-based analysis
- Includes CollectorName, FileName, MaxFiles, and Model fields
- Added LLM field to Analyze struct for YAML spec support
- Follows existing analyzer patterns with AnalyzeMeta and Outcomes
- Marked Phase 2 as completed (10 minutes actual time)
- Added implementation notes about type design decisions
- Updated progress summary: 3.5 hours spent, 3.5-5.5 hours remaining
- Documented actual implementation details
The implementation plan is better suited for the documentation repo
rather than the code fork. Test cluster remains here for PR submission.
- Fixed file collection bug (was incorrectly iterating over map)
- Added filepath import
- Simplified glob pattern to work with filepath.Glob limitations
- LLM analyzer now successfully finds files, calls OpenAI API, and returns results
…ignore

- Remove support bundle directory that was accidentally committed
- Add support-bundle-*/ to .gitignore to prevent future accidents
- Keep repository clean from test artifacts
- Changed default model from gpt-4o to gpt-5
- Updated test spec to use gpt-5
- Confirmed gpt-5 is working and correctly analyzing issues
- Added --problem-description flag to support-bundle command
- Implemented interactive prompt when flag not provided
- Created global variable to pass problem description to LLM analyzer
- Falls back to env var, then default if no description provided
- Successfully tested with flag, without flag, and with env var

Phase 4 complete: CLI integration fully functional
- Add unit tests for all LLM analyzer components
- Add integration tests with mock OpenAI API
- Add benchmark tests for performance validation
- Add YAML parsing tests for spec validation
- Add E2E test script for workflow testing
- Fix linter issues in LLM analyzer code
- Add --problem-description flag to analyze subcommand
- Support interactive prompt for problem description
- Enable re-analysis of existing bundles with LLM analyzer
- Implements PRD stretch goal for analyzing existing .tar.gz bundles
- Updated README with LLM analyzer usage instructions
- Added configuration options and model selection guide
- Created comprehensive demo script showcasing all features
- Created quick demo script for rapid testing
- Added example specifications in examples/analyzers/
- Documented re-analysis capability for existing bundles

Phase 7 complete: Documentation and demo materials ready
- Fixed file collection bug when using default patterns (was iterating incorrectly over map)
- Added template variable replacement for {{.Issue}} and {{.Solution}}
- Increased API timeout from 60s to 120s for large analyses
- Improved error logging for JSON parsing failures
- Added configurable MaxSize option (in KB) to YAML spec
- Updated documentation and examples with new MaxSize field

These fixes address critical bugs that would prevent proper operation
and improve production readiness of the LLM analyzer.
- Changed default model from gpt-5 to gpt-4o-mini (more cost-effective)
- Increased default maxSize from 500KB to 1MB for better analysis coverage
- Increased default maxFiles from 10 to 20 for comprehensive analysis
- Increased per-file truncation from 10K to 20K characters for more context
- Updated documentation to reflect new defaults and recommendations
- Updated tests to match new default model

These changes provide better defaults for production use while maintaining
the ability to override for specific needs. The gpt-4o-mini default
significantly reduces API costs while still providing excellent analysis
with its 128K context window.

Phase 11 - Structured Output Improvements:
- Enhanced llmAnalysis struct with actionable fields (commands, docs, root cause, etc.)
- Added comprehensive Markdown report generation
- Improved template variable replacement with all new fields
- Updated prompts to request structured information

Phase 8 - Smart File Selection:
- Added PriorityPatterns for keyword-based file scoring
- Added SkipPatterns to exclude irrelevant files (images, archives)
- Implemented binary file detection
- File scoring based on error keywords, timestamps, and file types
- Sorts files by relevance before applying limits

These enhancements provide more actionable output and intelligently
select the most relevant files for analysis, reducing API costs and
improving accuracy.
