docs(pm-agent): the registry cannot be pulled from yet — name both prerequisites where the operator reads them
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m50s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped

pm-agent reconciled exactly as designed after #57: Flux applied main@sha1:95597bd to
platform-config, pm-agent and apps-wave-0 (all Ready), the ClusterPolicy
pm-agent-job-shape is live with Enforce + failurePolicy Fail and all six rules, SOPS
decryption works through the new overlay patch (checked by key names and value lengths,
never values), and pm-agent-worker really is bound to nothing.

Measuring it turned up two prerequisites for the NEXT operator step that nothing in this
repository declares, and that #57's handoff could not have known — it listed the image
pull as unverified, and that is exactly where it bit:

 - the nodes cannot verify the registry's TLS certificate (containerd: 'x509: certificate
   is not valid for any names'), while the same name serves a healthy Let's Encrypt
   wildcard from the LAN. A correct digest fails identically;
 - an unauthenticated client gets nothing from this Gitea's registry (its anonymous token
   carries no access scope) and no imagePullSecret exists anywhere in the tree.

Not specific to pm-agent: conformance-runner shares the registry path and has never been
pulled either. The dispatcher is the first workload in the cluster ever to reference it.

Documentation only — no manifest, no policy, no code. Both fixes need an operator action
and one of them is a posture decision, so the docs present both rather than pick.

## Follow-ups, in the order they are worth doing
1. **Build, push, pin.** Operator runs `infra/agent/build-image.sh`, pushes, and one PR
replaces both placeholder digests. Expect the build to need iteration: the nodejs module
stream and the npm install have never run against this base.
1. **Make the registry pullable, THEN build, push, pin.** Measured after the merge, and
neither half is declared anywhere in this repository
(`decisions/2026-10-05-pm-agent-registry-pull-prereq.md`):
(i) the cluster's nodes cannot verify the registry's TLS certificate — containerd reports
`x509: certificate is not valid for any names` for `gitea.home.keithjackson.dev`, while
that name serves a healthy Let's Encrypt wildcard from the LAN; (ii) an unauthenticated
client gets nothing from that registry and no `imagePullSecret` exists in the tree, so
either one is added or anonymous package reads are allowed. Only then does the digest
matter. Operator runs `infra/agent/build-image.sh`, pushes, and one PR replaces both
placeholder digests. Expect the build itself to need iteration too: the nodejs module
stream and the npm install have never run against this base. The same two blockers sit in
front of `conformance-runner`, which shares the registry path and has never been pulled.
2. **Create the credentials** per `pm-agent-credentials.sops.yaml.example`, and **verify the
bot's permission is `write`, not `admin`** — that measurement is the control that keeps
the agent out of its own approval gate.
