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.
