+# Flux Kustomization: Homepage landing dashboard — reconciles ./platform/homepage.
+#
+# POST-PLATFORM TIER (dependsOn platform-config). Homepage is a LEAF landing UI at the apex
+# home.keithjackson.dev. It depends on the trusted wildcard TLS cert + the shared Gateway (incl. the
+# `https-apex` listener) + split-horizon DNS — all brought up by `platform` (controllers) and
+# `platform-config` (the wildcard Certificate, cilium L2 VIP, Gateway). It therefore MUST NOT live in
+# the gating `platform` tier: a UI whose pod can be unhealthy would keep `platform` not-Ready, and
+# while `platform` is not-Ready NOTHING downstream reconciles — the exact incident behind the
+# headlamp/oauth2-proxy moves (DECISIONS-LOG: "Headlamp gating stall"). Same lesson, same fix: a leaf
+# that can be legitimately unhealthy reconciles in its OWN post-platform Kustomization.
+#
+# NON-GATING (wait:false): nothing in the graph dependsOn homepage (apps waves gate on
+# platform-config, not on this), and a dashboard pod can be long-not-Ready during a cold start.
+# wait:false guarantees its health can NEVER gate anything, even if a future resource is (mistakenly)
+# pointed dependsOn it.
+#
+# NO SOPS decryption stanza: this component carries no encrypted Secret (plain manifests + a config
+# ConfigMap with no API keys), so — unlike headlamp/oauth2-proxy — clusters/dev does NOT patch it.

+# platform/homepage
+
+**Homepage** (gethomepage) — the apex landing dashboard at **https://home.keithjackson.dev**,
+aggregating links to the cluster's services.
+
+- **Serves:** a single pane of glass for the homelab (docs/09 apex UI).
+- **Tier:** non-gating post-platform Flux Kustomization
+  ([`clusters/base/homepage.yaml`](../../clusters/base/homepage.yaml), `dependsOn: platform-config`,
+  `wait: false`) — mirrors `headlamp` / `oauth2-proxy`. A leaf UI must never gate the `platform`
+  tier (DECISIONS-LOG "Headlamp gating stall").
+- **Namespace:** `homepage` — a PLATFORM namespace (no `app-namespace=true`), so the Kyverno
+  app-scoped policies (default-deny gen, auth-mode, egress-class) do not apply; we ship an explicit
+  default-deny + Cilium ingress policy as defense-in-depth.
+
+## What this component owns
+
+Plain manifests (not a HelmRelease — the app is one stateless Deployment + a config ConfigMap):
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `namespace.yaml` | `homepage` ns, `gateway-access=shared` |
+| `configmap.yaml` | Homepage config (settings/services/bookmarks/widgets + empty docker/kubernetes + custom.css/js) |
+| `deployment.yaml` | `ghcr.io/gethomepage/homepage` (non-root, subPath config mounts, `HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS`) |
+| `service.yaml` | ClusterIP 80 -> 3000 |
+| `networkpolicy.yaml` | default-deny (DNS-only egress) + Cilium Gateway-only ingress on 3000 |
+| `httproute.yaml` | apex ingress on the Gateway `https-apex` listener |
+
+## Apex nuances (why this isn't just another `*.home` route)
+
+1. **TLS:** the apex `home.keithjackson.dev` is already a **SAN** on the wildcard Certificate
+   (`platform/gateway/wildcard-certificate.yaml`) — no new cert.
+2. **Gateway listener:** the wildcard listeners' hostname `*.home.keithjackson.dev` does **not**
+   match the bare apex. This component's route binds a dedicated **`https-apex`** listener added to
+   the shared Gateway (`platform/gateway/gateway.yaml`); `http-apex-redirect` covers :80.
+3. **`HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS`:** Homepage >= 1.0 returns 403 for any Host not in this list — set to
+   `home.keithjackson.dev` + the pod IP (for kubelet probes).
+
+## Forward-auth — FOLLOW-UP (not yet enforced)
+
+The HTTPRoute is annotated `auth-mode: forward-auth` (intended posture: oauth2-proxy -> Keycloak).
+**The Gateway ext-authz attachment that actually enforces forward-auth does not exist yet** — it is a
+Phase-6 WS-NET TODO (`platform/oauth2-proxy` is the authenticator; there is no `CiliumEnvoyConfig` /
+ext-authz wiring anywhere in the repo). Until that mechanism lands, Homepage — like **every** other
+`forward-auth` app (jackett, qbittorrent, pihole, radarr, sonarr) — is reachable unauthenticated.
+When the Gateway ext-authz pattern is built, attach it to this route (and the others) with
+`allowed-groups: platform-admins`. **PM decision flagged** in the deploy report.
+
+## Deliberately deferred (avoid scope creep)
+
+- **Service-status widgets** (Grafana/Plex/Sonarr/… API tiles) need per-service API-key **secrets** —
+  not wired; tiles are simple links. Add as SOPS secrets + `widgets.yaml` later.
+- **Kubernetes widget** would need a read-only ServiceAccount + RBAC — skipped (`kubernetes.yaml`
+  empty, `automountServiceAccountToken: false`).
+- **Brand icons** (selfh.st/dashboard-icons) need world:443 egress — we use bundled `mdi-*` icons so
+  egress stays DNS-only.
