feat(dns): publish public names as proxied CNAMEs to the Cloudflare Tunnel
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 45s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Skipped

Gateway target -> fc81938b-...cfargotunnel.com, --cloudflare-proxied globally,
L4 service publishers (unifi, crafty-mc) pinned DNS-only, Plex web UI and
Headlamp disowned (LAN/VPN-only). L0 internal-services-publish-no-public-dns
gains assertion (9) tying the Gateway target to the tunnel UUID, requiring
cloudflare-proxied=false on every service-source publisher, and keeping the
tunnel's 404 list and the unpublished set consistent. L2 dns-exposure fixture
opts out of proxying.

# THE PUBLIC TARGET — DECIDED 2026-10-03 (operator): every Gateway-published name goes public
# THE PUBLIC TARGET — THE CLOUDFLARE TUNNEL, PROXIED (2026-11-08; supersedes 2026-10-03)
#
# Until 2026-10-03 every gateway-sourced record answered with the Gateway VIP (192.168.2.20,
# RFC1918), so nothing published here was reachable from the internet. Two facts constrained the
# fix, and both still hold:
# * `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target` is read in v0.21.0's gateway-httproute source ONLY
# from the GATEWAY (source/gateway.go: `overrides: annotations.TargetsFromTargetAnnotation(
# gw.Annotations)`) and from a ListenerSet listener — NEVER from an HTTPRoute. A target on the
# shared Gateway therefore moves EVERY gateway-sourced record at once.
# * The home WAN IP is residential and can change, so a literal IP in Git would rot.
# History: until 2026-10-03 every gateway-sourced record answered the Gateway VIP (RFC1918);
# from 2026-10-03 they were CNAMEs to `wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}` (DNS-only, the home WAN IP, with the
# router forwarding tcp/80+443 to the VIP). Both published an origin address of ours. Now:
# * platform/gateway/gateway.yaml sets `target: <tunnel-uuid>.cfargotunnel.com` on the shared
# Gateway. `target` is read in v0.23.0's gateway-httproute source ONLY from the GATEWAY
# (source/gateway.go: `overrides: annotations.TargetsFromTargetAnnotation(gw.Annotations)`),
# never from an HTTPRoute, so this one value moves every gateway-sourced record at once.
# * `--cloudflare-proxied` below orange-clouds every record by default. It is GLOBAL because
# that is the only practical lever: v0.23.0 reads the per-object `cloudflare-proxied`
# annotation from the ROUTE (or Service), never the Gateway (source/gateway.go:
# `annotations.ProviderSpecificAnnotations(annots)` with `annots := meta.Annotations` of the
# route), so a Gateway-level opt-in does not exist. A CNAME to cfargotunnel.com MUST be
# proxied — DNS-only it resolves to nothing routable — so "proxied by default" is the right
# default for this zone's gateway names.
# * The provider honours a per-object `"false"` over the global default (provider/cloudflare
# shouldBeProxied: ParseBool of the annotation overrides proxiedByDefault). The key it reads
# is `<annotationPrefix>cloudflare-proxied` (annotations.SetAnnotationPrefix re-derives
# CloudflarePrefix), i.e. `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/cloudflare-proxied` here.
#
# THE `service` SOURCE MUST OPT OUT. The L4 LoadBalancers (crafty-mc, unifi) publish an A record
# at their own LB VIP; Cloudflare's proxy is HTTP(S)-only, so a proxied A for a game or UniFi
# inform port is broken by construction. Each carries `cloudflare-proxied: "false"` and stays
# DNS-only, exactly as before this change. conformance/tests/l0-static/
# internal-services-publish-no-public-dns (assertion 9b) FAILS on any `service`-source publisher
# without it, so a new L4 Service cannot silently become a proxied record.
#
# The operator's answers: (a) yes, ALL of them — the five `exposure: public` apps AND the admin
# UIs (auth, crafty, grafana, headlamp, the apex), which sit behind Keycloak / oauth2-proxy;
# (b) the address is kept current IN-CLUSTER. Implementation:
# * platform/gateway/gateway.yaml sets `target: wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}` on the shared Gateway, so
# each published name becomes a CNAME to that one hostname;
# * platform/externaldns/ddns.yaml (favonia/cloudflare-ddns) keeps `wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}` an A
# record at the current WAN IP. That record has no external-dns TXT registry entry, so this
# instance never owns or garbage-collects it.
# Internal services are unchanged: their routes carry `controller: none` (above), which is
# checked BEFORE the target is read, so they still publish nothing. The `service` source (the L4
# LoadBalancers crafty-mc, unifi) does not read the Gateway's annotation and still publishes its
# LB VIP. Whether those should go public is a separate, still-open question.
# checked BEFORE the target is read, so they still publish nothing. Plex's web UI and Headlamp
# joined that set on 2026-11-08 (operator: LAN/VPN-only). `wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}` (ddns.yaml) has no
# external-dns TXT registry entry and is untouched; it now serves only WireGuard udp/51820.
#
# THE RISK THIS ADDS, AND WHAT GUARDS IT. If the annotation prefix ever stops being honoured
# again (the 2026-11-07 v0.23.0 incident), `target` is ignored and every name falls back to the
# Gateway's own address — and with this flag it would be published as a PROXIED A record at
# ${GATEWAY_VIP} (RFC1918; Cloudflare 1003/522s for every public name) while `controller: none`
# is also ignored and internal names publish. Assertion (8) of the L0 check above ties the
# prefix this tree writes to `values.annotationPrefix`; (8b) forbids overriding it here.
