service package unit tests do not compile on master

Start with the four reported test locations: service/access_control_service_test.go, service/namespace_service_test.go, service/project_service_test.go, and service/worker_slice_gateway_service_test.go. Update the three obsolete client references and the ObjectMeta literal as proposed, then run go test -c -o /dev/null ./service/ to verify that the service tests compile.

📜 Description

The service package's tests do not compile on master, so any run of them fails before a single test executes. Four references in test files point at symbols that no longer exist after dependency upgrades.

👟 Reproduction steps

git checkout master
go test -c -o /dev/null ./service/

make unit-test and docker build -f unit_tests.dockerfile . hit the same failure. go vet ./service/... reports only the first error, since vet stops at one error per package.

👍 Expected behavior

The service unit tests compile and run.

👎 Actual Behavior

The test binary fails to build. All four errors:

service/access_control_service_test.go:1273:61: undefined: util.Client
service/namespace_service_test.go:180:67:      undefined: util.Client
service/project_service_test.go:279:65:        undefined: util.Client
service/worker_slice_gateway_service_test.go:554:4: unknown field ClusterName in struct literal of type "k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/apis/meta/v1".ObjectMeta

Both look like dependency drift that only touched test files, which is why the non-test build is unaffected:

• util.Client no longer exists; util uses client.Client from controller-runtime.
• ObjectMeta.ClusterName was removed from apimachinery in Kubernetes 1.25, and this repo is on the 1.32 client libraries.

CI does exercise this package — unit_tests.dockerfile runs go test against /build/service — but cannot report the failure, for reasons already tracked in #336 (; exit 0 masks the exit code) and #330 (the image is Go 1.19 while the module requires 1.24). This issue is the underlying compile break those two would surface once fixed.

🖥️ What operating system are you seeing the problem on?

Linux

✅ Proposed Solution

Change the three util.Client parameters to client.Client and drop the ClusterName field from the ObjectMeta literal. Happy to raise a PR if that approach is agreeable.

Fixing this alongside #336 and #330 would make the failure visible in CI rather than silent.
