correction: credential-forward + unified graph; activate SOPS (author-first)

Operator directive: don't diverge architecture to avoid asking for credentials;
provision them upfront via SOPS and keep the existing (unified) graph.

Roadmap reconciliation: Phase 2 = Network/Storage/TLS/DNS/Ingress, so
cert-manager/externaldns/gateway (the credential-gated pieces) ARE Phase 2;
monitoring is Phase 4. Earlier A2/rollout scope was inverted by credential-avoidance.

Reverts (credential-driven): remove clusters/dev/rollout/ + the $patch:delete's;
restore unified base graph (dev = ../base + cluster-vars + SOPS decryption,
R-ENV-02 intact); restore monitoring files (Phase 4). Kept non-credential
improvements: tofu for_each/rejoin, Kyverno parametrization + webhook excludes.

platform/kustomization.yaml now phased (single shared list): Phase-2 set =
kyverno, cilium, longhorn, cert-manager, externaldns, gateway; later components
commented with phase markers.

SOPS activated: .sops.yaml at repo root; bootstrap/sops/secret-templates/*.yaml.example
for all secrets (cloudflare x2, grafana, alertmanager-smtp, keycloak, oauth2-proxy, pia);
bootstrap/sops/CREDENTIALS.md checklist; pre-wired commented cloudflare-api-token lines
in cert-manager + externaldns; filled non-secret ACME email. Agents never touch real
secret values (operator encrypts).

Validated: kubectl kustomize dev(unified)/prod/platform(Phase-2 only), templates inert,
make -C ci gate PASS.

# Credentials & SOPS — operator provisioning checklist
All platform secrets are **SOPS-encrypted (age)**, committed to git, and decrypted by Flux at
reconcile (ADR-0007, R-SEC-01). **Agents never handle real secret values** — encryption is done by
you (the operator). This file is the end-to-end flow. Templates live in
[`secret-templates/`](secret-templates/); the master `.sops.yaml` is at the **repo root**.
Credentials are provisioned **upfront** so component rollout is gated only by *phase/readiness*,
never by a missing secret.
---
## One-time SOPS setup (do this first)
1. **Generate the age keypair** (private key stays on your machine + goes to the cluster; never in git):
```bash
./bootstrap/sops/age-keygen.sh # prints the PUBLIC recipient (age1…) + writes the private key
```
2. **Fill the recipient** into the repo-root `.sops.yaml` — replace **both** `REPLACE-ME-AGE-PUBLIC-RECIPIENT`
occurrences with the `age1…` public key from step 1. (This file governs encryption for `platform/**`,
`apps/**`, `catalog/**`, and any `secrets/**`.)
3. **Install the private key on the cluster** as the `sops-age` Secret so Flux can decrypt:
```bash
./bootstrap/sops/install-age-key.sh # creates secret/sops-age in flux-system (see age-key-secret.md)
```
The dev/prod overlays already point the `platform`/`apps` Flux Kustomizations at `decryption.secretRef: sops-age`.
> Keep the age **private** key out of the repo (same discipline as the ansible-vault passphrase at
> `~/.config/home-k3s/ansible-vault-pass`). If it leaks, rotate: new key → re-encrypt all `*.sops.yaml` → re-install.
---
## Per-secret flow (repeat for each secret below)
```bash
# 1. copy the template into its component dir under its real name
cp bootstrap/sops/secret-templates/<template>.yaml.example platform/<component>/<name>.sops.yaml
# 2. fill the real value(s) in stringData:
$EDITOR platform/<component>/<name>.sops.yaml
# 3. encrypt in place (SOPS picks up the root .sops.yaml rules automatically)
sops -e -i platform/<component>/<name>.sops.yaml
# 4. wire it: uncomment the pre-added `- <name>.sops.yaml` line in platform/<component>/kustomization.yaml
# 5. verify it still builds, then commit the CIPHERTEXT
kubectl kustomize platform/<component> >/dev/null && git add -A && git commit
```

## Secret inventory (provision all now; wire per phase)
| Secret | Namespace | Keys | Consumer | Phase | Template |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `cloudflare-api-token` | `cert-manager` | `api-token` | cert-manager DNS-01 ClusterIssuer | **2** | `cloudflare-api-token.cert-manager.yaml.example` |
| `cloudflare-api-token` | `external-dns` | `api-token` | ExternalDNS (`CF_API_TOKEN`) — **same token**, 2nd copy | **2** | `cloudflare-api-token.external-dns.yaml.example` |
| `grafana-admin-credentials` | `monitoring` | `admin-user`, `admin-password` | Grafana admin | 4 | `grafana-admin-credentials.yaml.example` |
| `alertmanager-smtp` | `monitoring` | `smtp-password` | Alertmanager email | 4 | `alertmanager-smtp.yaml.example` |
| `keycloak-admin-credentials` | `keycloak` | `admin-user`, `admin-password` ⚠️verify chart keys; DB secret likely also needed | Keycloak IdP | 6 | `keycloak-admin-credentials.yaml.example` |
| `oauth2-proxy-credentials` | `oauth2-proxy` | `client-id`, `client-secret`, `cookie-secret` ⚠️verify chart keys | oauth2-proxy forward-auth | 6 | `oauth2-proxy-credentials.yaml.example` |
| `pia-credentials` | *(Phase-3 VPN ns, TBA)* | `username`, `password` | Gluetun VPN egress (protocol ≠ TCP) — **not wired yet** | 3 | `pia-credentials.yaml.example` |
**Cloudflare token scope:** one API token with **Zone → DNS → Edit** + **Zone → Read** on the
`keithjackson.dev` zone serves both cert-manager (DNS-01) and ExternalDNS. Same value in both namespace copies.
---
## Phase-2 blockers (needed to un-suspend the Phase-2 platform tier)
- [ ] SOPS one-time setup (age key → `.sops.yaml` → `sops-age` on cluster).
- [ ] `cloudflare-api-token` provisioned + wired in **both** `cert-manager` and `external-dns`.
- [ ] ACME account email set in `platform/cert-manager/clusterissuers.yaml` (both issuers) — non-secret; a sensible default may already be filled, confirm it.
- [ ] Push current `main` to the host Gitea (Flux source), then create the dev root Kustomization to reconcile `clusters/dev`.
Later-phase secrets (Grafana/SMTP, Keycloak, oauth2-proxy, PIA) can be encrypted now and simply wired
when their component is enabled in `platform/kustomization.yaml`.

# SOPS Secret Templates
This directory holds **reference templates** for the SOPS-encrypted secrets that
platform components consume. They are **not applied and not encrypted**.
## Why `.yaml.example`?
Every file here uses a `.yaml.example` extension so that:
- **kustomize never loads them** (they are not `.yaml` / not listed in any
`kustomization.yaml`), and
- **SOPS never auto-encrypts them** (the repo's `.sops.yaml` creation rules match
`*.sops.yaml`, not `*.yaml.example`).
They exist purely so the operator can see the exact Kubernetes Secret shape
(name, namespace, keys) each component expects. **They contain only placeholder
values** (`REPLACE-ME`, `<fill me>`) — never real secrets.
## Operator flow (per secret)
For each `<name>.yaml.example`:
1. **Copy** it to the target path shown in the file's top comment, renaming to
`<name>.sops.yaml`. Example:
```bash
cp bootstrap/sops/secret-templates/grafana-admin-credentials.yaml.example \
platform/monitoring/grafana-admin-credentials.sops.yaml
```
2. **Fill** in the real values (replace every `REPLACE-ME` / `<fill me>`).
3. **Encrypt in place** with SOPS + age:
```bash
sops -e -i platform/monitoring/grafana-admin-credentials.sops.yaml
```
4. **Wire it** into the component by adding the resource line (shown in the
file's top comment) under `resources:` in that component's
`kustomization.yaml`:
```yaml
resources:
- grafana-admin-credentials.sops.yaml
```
5. **Commit** the encrypted `.sops.yaml` (ciphertext is safe to commit) and the
`kustomization.yaml` change. Flux decrypts it at reconcile via the cluster
age key.
## Files in this directory

| `grafana-admin-credentials.yaml.example` | `grafana-admin-credentials` / `monitoring` | 4 |
| `alertmanager-smtp.yaml.example` | `alertmanager-smtp` / `monitoring` | 4 |

| `oauth2-proxy-credentials.yaml.example` | `oauth2-proxy-credentials` / `oauth2-proxy` | 6 |
