feat(vpn-ingress): WireGuard remote access on udp/51820 (hostNetwork, declarative peers)
Lets the operator's Android / Linux / Windows / macOS devices dial in from anywhere and behave like LAN machines: full reach to 192.168.2.0/24 plus internet egress out the house WAN. Opposite direction to platform/vpn-egress, which sends pods OUT through PIA; the two share nothing but the word "VPN". WireGuard because it is the only option with a first-party client on all four named platforms, and because its handshake MAC is keyed with the responder's own public key: an unauthenticated packet gets NO reply, so udp/51820 is indistinguishable from a closed port. That, not "it is encrypted", is what makes an unfiltered WAN port defensible, and why there is no source allowlist. hostNetwork: true is REQUIRED, not convenient. A pod-networked server must SNAT clients to its own pod IP, so every remote client would carry that pod's Cilium identity -- and a pod-sourced request to the shared Gateway VIP returns 403 from Envoy for ALL 16 hostnames (measured 2026-10-04), because Cilium's Gateway preserves the original source identity and enforces the destination's ingress policy. The obvious build would have shipped a healthy-looking tunnel on which every cluster web UI was 403 and *.home.keithjackson.dev did not even resolve. In the host netns traffic is SNATed to the node and arrives as host/remote-node, exactly like a LAN client. It also sidesteps the unsafe ip_forward sysctl, the L2-announcement lease lottery, and double encapsulation (hence MTU 1420). Permitted by restrict-host-namespaces' own carve-out for platform namespaces. The cost is stated in networkpolicy.yaml rather than papered over: no NetworkPolicy constrains a hostNetwork pod. A DaemonSet so the hand-made WAN forward cannot be invalidated by a reschedule; all three nodes answer the same keys, so failover is a one-line router change. Peer PUBLIC keys are plaintext in peers.yaml, which makes "who can get into my house" a reviewable PR diff. The only secret -- the server's private key -- is an out-of-band Secret: an agent must not mint a long-lived private key, and the two halves are joined only at pod start into a tmpfs that dies with the pod. Ships INERT-BUT-HEALTHY with zero peers. THREE off-repo manual steps remain (kernel module, server key, WAN forward) -- runbooks/vpn-remote-access.md. Touches clusters/** , so ci/approval-policy.sh will block pending the operator's /approve-override. Deliberately not posted by me (CLAUDE.md §1).

# --- Remote-access VPN client subnet (platform/vpn-ingress, WireGuard) --------------------------
|

# The tunnel subnet handed to REMOTE VPN clients. `.1` is the server (the hostNetwork DaemonSet,

|
||||
# platform/vpn-ingress/peers.yaml. Consumed twice in the pod's config-assembly script: to derive
|

# the server's own address, and as the `-s` match of the MASQUERADE rule that makes LAN replies

# routable.
