phase3(vpn): author Cilium Egress Gateway steering policy (ADR-0015)

Add platform/vpn-egress/egress-steering.yaml — a CiliumEgressGatewayPolicy
that steers homelab.keithjackson.dev/egress-class=vpn pods out a gateway
node's host tun0 split-tunnel interface, per ADR-0015 (node-level tunnel +
Cilium Egress Gateway). Honors all four ADR-0015 invariants: only vpn-class
pods are selected (default/internet + node stay on the local/WAN path),
RFC1918 + cluster ranges are excludedCIDRs so only public internet is
tunneled and tun0 is never a default route, and the host nftables kill-switch
(Ansible) fails vpn-class CLOSED while internet-class fails OPEN.

Interface contract shared verbatim with the parallel Ansible host-tunnel role:
  node label homelab.keithjackson.dev/egress-gateway=true, interface tun0,
  client label homelab.keithjackson.dev/egress-class=vpn.

Cilium Egress Gateway prerequisites confirmed enabled (egressGateway.enabled,
bpf.masquerade, kubeProxyReplacement all true, [parity]) — no HelmRelease change.

Intentionally NOT added to platform/vpn-egress/kustomization.yaml: the datapath
stays out of the runtime until the live tunnel exists and the egress-class /
vpn-killswitch conformance tests pass (README rule; DoD). Gluetun is retained
as the validated fallback until then. Serves R-NET-05/06/07.

# ============================================================================
# Cilium Egress Gateway steering for `egress-class=vpn` pods — ADR-0015.
# Serves: R-NET-05, R-NET-06, R-NET-07.
#
# ##########################################################################
# ## NOT WIRED INTO THE RUNTIME YET — DO NOT ADD TO kustomization.yaml ##
# ## UNTIL THE HOST tun0 TUNNEL IS LIVE AND THIS DATAPATH IS VALIDATED. ##
# ##########################################################################
#
# This policy steers vpn-class pods out a gateway node's host `tun0` interface. It is INERT and
# potentially disruptive until the Ansible-managed host OpenVPN split-tunnel service actually exists
# on a node labeled `homelab.keithjackson.dev/egress-gateway=true`. If Flux shipped this before the
# tunnel is up, vpn-class pods would be SNAT'd to a non-existent interface — an unvalidated datapath.
# Per platform/vpn-egress/README.md: "the steering datapath is intentionally NOT committed [to the
# runtime kustomization] until the mechanism is chosen + validated." ADR-0015 chose the mechanism
# (node tunnel + Cilium Egress Gateway); this file IS that datapath, authored but held out of the
# resource list for the PM to enable after a live-tunnel validation (see TODO at the bottom).
#
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# PREREQUISITES CONFIRMED (2026-08-24):
# * Cilium Egress Gateway is ENABLED per ADR-0002 — platform/cilium/helmrelease.yaml and
# platform/cilium/values.yaml both set (all [parity] with the Ansible bootstrap render):
# egressGateway.enabled: true
# bpf.masquerade: true (Egress Gateway REQUIRES eBPF masquerade)
# kubeProxyReplacement: true
# No Cilium HelmRelease change is needed for this policy. (If any of the three were false this
# would be an ESCALATION, not a silent HelmRelease edit — they are all true, so we proceed.)
#
# INTERFACE CONTRACT (shared verbatim with the parallel Ansible host-tunnel role — ADR-0015):
# * Gateway node label ...... homelab.keithjackson.dev/egress-gateway=true (applied by Ansible)
# * Host tunnel interface .... tun0 (split-tunnel OpenVPN)
# * Client selection ......... homelab.keithjackson.dev/egress-class=vpn (Kyverno-enforced)

spec:
# --- Client selection (INVARIANTS 1 & 2) --------------------------------
# ONLY pods explicitly opted into the vpn class are matched. Default/internet-class pods and node
# traffic are never selected, so they stay on the local/private-WAN path (invariant 1: default is
# the local path). Because ONLY these flows are steered, tun0 never becomes a default route for the
# node or for any other pod (invariant 2). The selector is intentionally cluster-wide (no namespace
# scope) so the class label alone is the contract — every namespace's vpn-class pods route here.
selectors:
- podSelector:
matchLabels:
homelab.keithjackson.dev/egress-class: vpn
# --- What gets tunneled (INVARIANT 1: only PUBLIC internet leaves via the VPN) ------------------
# destinationCIDRs is the full internet; excludedCIDRs carves out everything that must stay LOCAL:
# all RFC1918 private ranges (which also cover the Cilium cluster-pool pod CIDR 10.0.0.0/8, the k3s
# service/pod ranges, and the LAN 192.168.x/10.73.x node network). So intra-cluster east-west,
# pod->service, and LAN traffic are NOT SNAT'd out tun0 — only genuinely public destinations are.
# Excluded flows fall through to Cilium's normal local datapath (invariant 1).
destinationCIDRs:
- "0.0.0.0/0"
excludedCIDRs:
- "10.0.0.0/8" # RFC1918 + Cilium cluster-pool pod CIDR (CLUSTER_POD_CIDR) + k3s service net
- "172.16.0.0/12" # RFC1918
- "192.168.0.0/16" # RFC1918 (home LAN / node network family)
# --- Where it egresses --------------------------------------------------
# The gateway node (Ansible-labeled) SNATs matched traffic out its host split-tunnel `tun0`. When
# tun0 is absent/down, Cilium has no egress interface here; the host nftables kill-switch (Ansible,
# ADR-0015) is the authoritative fail-closed backstop that DROPS this vpn-class traffic — scoped to
# vpn-class only, so default/internet-class is unaffected (invariants 3 & 4: vpn fails CLOSED,
# internet fails OPEN).
egressGateway:

matchLabels:
homelab.keithjackson.dev/egress-gateway: "true"
interface: tun0
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# TODO(PM — enable after live validation, then retire Gluetun):
# 1. Confirm the Ansible host-tunnel role has brought `tun0` up on a node labeled
# homelab.keithjackson.dev/egress-gateway=true, and the host nftables kill-switch is in place.
# 2. Add `- egress-steering.yaml` to platform/vpn-egress/kustomization.yaml so Flux ships it.
# 3. Run the `egress-class` conformance test: vpn-class pod shows the PIA IP, internet-class shows
# the WAN IP, and a git label flip re-routes (R-NET-05/07).
# 4. Run the `vpn-killswitch` conformance test: force tun0 down => vpn-class blackholed (no leak),
# internet-class unaffected (R-NET-06).
# 5. Only AFTER both pass green: retire the Gluetun Deployment (remove gluetun-gateway.yaml from
# kustomization.yaml) per ADR-0015 ("Gluetun is dropped as the gateway"). Do NOT retire it in
# the same change that enables this — keep the validated fallback until steering is proven.
