Description

Summary

The agent pod will be deleted once the workflow is completed. I want it can follow the PodGC strategy, see https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/pull/12679#issuecomment-1956205605
When we use OnWorkflowSuccess PodGC strategy, do not delete the agent pod if workflow fails, and deleteDelayDuration in PodGC shoud also takes effect.

Use Cases

I want use Plugin/HTTP templates, but there are some ability deficiencies.
For example, the agent pod logs are not saved (See #10647) and it is deleted once the workflow is completed.
This makes it impossible for us to troubleshoot this type of workflow at all.

Research direction

Start with the PodGC strategy discussion in PR #12679 and the agent-pod behavior described here; compare OnWorkflowSuccess and deleteDelayDuration when a workflow fails. Check the existing Plugin/HTTP template implementation and issue #10647, then add coverage showing failed workflows retain the agent pod and delayed deletion is honored.
