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tunnel's 404 list and the unpublished set consistent.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.

- **Phase 2 (WS-NET):** pin the L2-announced ingress VIP / IP pool (Cilium L2 announcement, docs/09);
add the HTTP→HTTPS redirect route; confirm the cross-namespace ReferenceGrant pattern with WS-APPS.
- **Public exposure** is a **manual edge port-forward** of 80/443 to the Gateway VIP (single SOHO
router, docs/09) — a documented manual step, the analogue of the old pfSense exception.
- **Public exposure** is via the **Cloudflare Tunnel** (2026-11-08, `platform/cloudflared`): the
Gateway's `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target` is `<tunnel-uuid>.cfargotunnel.com`, so every
published name is a proxied CNAME to the tunnel and cloudflared forwards to this Gateway's
ClusterIP. No inbound WAN 80/443 forward is needed (the old manual edge port-forward is retired —
runbooks/cloudflare-tunnel.md). LAN/VPN-only names (internal apps, plex, headlamp) carry
`controller: none` on their route and are 404'd by the tunnel.

# PUBLIC DNS TARGET (2026-10-03, operator decision). Without this, external-dns publishes every
# route on this Gateway with the Gateway's OWN address (${GATEWAY_VIP}, RFC1918), which is
# unreachable from the internet. With it, every published `<svc>.${BASE_DOMAIN}` (and the apex)
# becomes a CNAME to `wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}`, an A record that platform/externaldns/ddns.yaml keeps
# pointed at the home WAN's current public IP. The WAN forwards 80/443 to ${GATEWAY_VIP}.
# PUBLIC DNS TARGET = THE CLOUDFLARE TUNNEL (2026-11-08, operator decision; replaces the
# 2026-10-03 `wan.${BASE_DOMAIN}` target). external-dns v0.23.0's gateway-httproute source reads
# `target` from the GATEWAY only (source/gateway.go: `overrides: annotations.
# TargetsFromTargetAnnotation(gw.Annotations)`) — never from an HTTPRoute — so this one value moves
# EVERY published route on this Gateway at once. Each published `<svc>.${BASE_DOMAIN}` (and the
# apex) becomes a CNAME to `<tunnel-uuid>.cfargotunnel.com`, and platform/externaldns/helmrelease.yaml
# sets `--cloudflare-proxied` so the CNAME is orange-clouded: public clients resolve Cloudflare
# anycast, Cloudflare terminates edge TLS (Total TLS) and hands the request to the in-cluster
# cloudflared connectors (platform/cloudflared), which forward to this Gateway's ClusterIP. No
# origin address of ours appears in public DNS, and no inbound WAN port is needed for HTTP(S).
#
# Scope is EVERY route on this Gateway that publishes at all — the operator chose to make the
# admin UIs (auth, grafana, headlamp, crafty, apex) publicly resolvable alongside the five
# `exposure: public` apps. `internal` services stay unpublished via their
# `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/controller: none` route annotation, which external-dns checks
# BEFORE it reads this target. external-dns v0.21.0 reads `target` from the Gateway only, never
# from an HTTPRoute — see platform/externaldns/helmrelease.yaml.
# THE UUID IS A LITERAL, AND IT MUST EQUAL `tunnel:` IN platform/cloudflared/config.yaml. A CNAME
# to any other <uuid>.cfargotunnel.com is a dead name (Cloudflare answers 1016). That equality is
# asserted on every gate run by conformance/tests/l0-static/internal-services-publish-no-public-dns
# (assertion 9a). A literal rather than a cluster-var keeps this change off clusters/**.

# Scope: every route on this Gateway that publishes at all. `internal` services (and the

# applies BEFORE it reads this target. Those same names map to `http_status:404` in the tunnel's
# ingress rules, so even a hand-made record cannot reach them through the tunnel.
#
# LAN and in-cluster clients are unaffected: PiHole and CoreDNS answer ${BASE_DOMAIN} with
# ${GATEWAY_VIP} directly (split-horizon), so they never take this public path.
