Bumps github.com/open-policy-agent/gatekeeper/v3 from 3.16.3 to 3.21.0.

Release notes

Sourced from github.com/open-policy-agent/gatekeeper/v3's releases.

v3.21.0

🚀 Notable Changes

  • 🛠️ New flag: sync-vap-enforcement-scope has been introduced to unify the ValidatingAdmissionPolicy(VAP) enforcement surface with the ConstraintTemplate enforcement surface. This syncs VAP resource scope with Gatekeeper's ValidatingWebhookConfigurations, Config resource exclusions, and exempt-namespace–based exemptions. This improves enforcement consistency across all policy mechanisms.
  • 🧩 Granular Operation-Level Controls for ConstraintTemplates: ConstraintTemplates now support defining operations on which a template should be enforced (e.g., CREATE, UPDATE, DELETE).
  • 📈 Enhanced Metrics & Status for External Data (Provider API): Added new metrics and status reporting for the External Data / Provider API feature, improving observability and overall user experience when integrating external data sources into policy evaluation.

Call to action

Beginning in v3.22 (February 18, 2026), the sync-vap-enforcement-scope flag will default to true and will be removed in a future release. When this flag is removed, Gatekeeper will always generate Validating Admission Policy (VAP) resources by combining enforcement inputs from the admission webhook configuration, Gatekeeper’s configuration resource, and namespace-exemption settings. All applicable enforcement criteria will be merged into the resulting VAP resource.

Impact: If you have explicitly set this flag to false, the enforcement scope of Gatekeeper-managed VAP resources will change, which may cause unexpected behavior in your environment. If you have concerns about removing this flag and would prefer it to remain, please add your feedback in open-policy-agent/gatekeeper#4302.

Looks like github.com/open-policy-agent/gatekeeper/v3 is up-to-date now, so this is no longer needed.
