fix(pm-agent): the agent is IN the cluster — one git host, the cluster-local service name
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m50s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped

An in-cluster consumer reaches a service by its *.svc.cluster.local name, which is by
design a different path from how a client outside the cluster reaches the same service.
pm-worker's host allowlist accepted TWO values: the cluster-local name and the external
hostname gitea.home.keithjackson.dev. The second is removed.

It was never needed — nothing sets it — it would route in-cluster traffic out through the
Gateway and back for no reason, and as an ACCEPTED value it widened the allowlist to a
host reachable over the namespace's world:443 egress rule, which is precisely the
injection shape the allowlist exists to refuse.

probe-validation.sh now pins that: 20 refusals, including the external hostname, the
cluster-local name over https, and the cluster-local name on the wrong port.

Also corrects a remark in the handoff entry: I cited cluster-vars' GATEWAY_VIP
(192.168.1.53) as suspicious next to the nodes' 192.168.2.x. That was noise — those base
cluster-vars values are dev-era leftovers for a decommissioned cluster and say nothing
about prod. None of the measured facts depended on it.

does not. I did not diagnose it: I did not read the nodes' resolver or
`/etc/rancher/k3s/registries.yaml` (node files, not reachable read-only through the API),
and I did not check whether the node resolves the name to the same `192.168.2.20` the
workstation does or to something else. Note `cluster-vars` has
`GATEWAY_VIP: 192.168.1.53` while the nodes are `192.168.2.10-12` and the name resolves
to `192.168.2.20` — three different subnets in one sentence is a reason to measure rather
than to theorise, and I have not.

**A correction to a remark I first wrote here:** I cited
`cluster-vars`'s `GATEWAY_VIP: 192.168.1.53` as suspicious next to the nodes'
`192.168.2.x`. That was noise — the operator confirms those base `cluster-vars` values are
**dev-era leftovers for a cluster that is decommissioned**, so the 192.168.1.x addresses in
that file say nothing about prod and should not be read as evidence about anything. The
measured facts stand on their own and none of them depended on that knob.
- **Whether the package would be pullable once authenticated.** Nothing has ever been
pushed to that path, so "a credential is sufficient" is untested. The only thing
established is that no credential is insufficient.
