feat(conformance): cover R-PLAT-01, R-NET-04, R-SEC-03 — 88.2% -> 94.1%, and fix an unrecordable-proof defect

Coverage 45/51 -> 48/51, gaps 6 -> 3 (R-C2-01, R-C2-02, R-STATE-04), 0
safety-critical. --strict-coverage exit 0; run.sh --layer l0 11/11 PASS.

R-PLAT-01 — split L0 + L2, because "3 nodes with production-grade HA control
plane" is half authored and half observable.
  l0-static/ha-control-plane-as-code (92 assertions): environments DERIVED from
  the R-ENV-02 seam (never a hardcoded group name); k3s installed as `server` with
  no --datastore-endpoint/--disable-etcd anywhere; exactly ONE --cluster-init
  founder per environment; odd, quorum-capable server count with tolerance >= 1;
  tls-sans carry the VIP and every server IP; kube-vip leader-elected with
  cp_enable/svc_enable parsed from the template's OWN env pairs; each VIP outside
  its environment's LB pool and not a node IP.
  l2-behavioral/ha-control-plane: control-plane AND etcd role on every node,
  every node a REGISTERED etcd member, exactly 3 when the cluster says
  CLUSTER_ENV=prod, and an in-cluster Job curling /readyz through the VIP AND every
  server's own address — which proves the VIP fronts the API and that every server
  runs an apiserver, not one founder plus two joiners.

  An earlier draft probed those endpoints FROM THE RUNNER: that passes from prod's
  LAN and fails against dev (nodes behind the pfSense NAT), making the test a
  property of where it was launched. Hence the in-cluster Job.

R-NET-04 — what it adds over R-NET-05/07 is the PATH SET and the
totality/disjointness of the selecting rules, not another per-service check.
  l0-static/egress-paths-selected-by-rules (68 assertions): exactly two paths, the
  same closed set in schema + Kyverno policy + renderer; EXACTLY ONE
  CiliumEgressGatewayPolicy with a single selector matching only egress-class=vpn;
  nothing selects `internet` (absence of a rule IS the path); RFC1918 containment
  computed with `ipaddress` plus every address each overlay assigns itself; the
  tunnel default route and blackhole confined to table 51820 behind an ip rule that
  must carry a from/fwmark/iif selector; and the nft chain `policy accept` with
  every drop qualified — the internet-fails-OPEN direction that R-NET-06's L3 test
  does not assert.

R-SEC-03 — refuses the tautology "a test exists, therefore it is auditable".
  l0-static/auditability-proofs-producible (78 assertions) drives the real
  machinery: each of docs/07's five proofs must have an EXECUTABLE test at the layer
  the spec's wording demands (fault injection and DR drill => L3), taken from
  status.py's own verdict; run.sh --requirements must resolve and pass the gate's
  --require assertion; each proof declares a sentinel record_run.py can attribute,
  computed with record_run.parse_sentinels itself; and TWO FORGERIES are mounted
  against the real tools — a green JUnit whose log holds only a SKIP token, and a
  ledger row claiming `proven` at the root commit — which must come back not-proven
  and stale-proof. The five proofs are parsed from docs/07 when the spec is mounted,
  not hand-listed.

*** A REAL DEFECT FOUND AND FIXED, not asserted around. *** l2-behavioral's
default-deny, trusted-tls and gateway-ingress-reachable declared NO pass sentinel,
so record_run.py could never attribute a pass to them — the isolation and TLS audit
proofs were STRUCTURALLY UNRECORDABLE (landing as unknown-no-sentinel-declared,
and status.py requires all of a requirement's tests to be proven). Each now ends
with an additive terminal sentinel step reached only when every prior step passed.
Verified: all three carry it.

TWO HOLLOW DRAFT ASSERTIONS CAUGHT BY THE AGENT ITSELF, both the failure mode this
repo keeps hitting: (a) `svc_enable=false` matched a COMMENT in the kube-vip role
defaults, so flipping the template to true still passed — now parses the DaemonSet
template's env pairs; (b) the nft scoping check searched for the VALUE of a Jinja
variable while the template carries its NAME, matching nothing and passing
vacuously — templates are now rendered against role defaults first. 30 perturbations
across the three checks, all caught, plus 16 synthetic L2 perturbations via a
fake-kubectl shim.

R-C2-01/02 judged IMPLEMENTATION gaps, so no test was written: Homepage's
widgets.yaml carries only datetime and search, kubernetes.yaml is empty,
automountServiceAccountToken is false, and its NetworkPolicy allows DNS egress
only — no health source is even reachable. It has already drifted (crafty authors a
route with no tile). A test today would go red on both; it must ship WITH the
config fix.

VERIFIED: full CI gate PASS. Neither cluster mutated.

# =============================================================================
# L0 STATIC — the five auditability proofs can be produced on demand (R-SEC-03) [EXECUTABLE]
# Catalog: docs/14 L0 row ("Pre-apply, in CI") — runs WITHOUT a cluster.
# Spec: docs/00 R-SEC-03 ("All the above properties MUST be demonstrable/auditable (an
# operator can prove isolation, egress path, cert validity, and backup integrity)"),
# made concrete by docs/07 §"Auditability requirements (R-SEC-03) — what an operator
# must be able to prove": Isolation (denied-probe test), Egress path (egress IP
# check), Kill-switch (fault-injection test), TLS (cert status + external check),
# Backups (DR drill) — "These proofs are part of the platform acceptance suite, not
# one-time checks", with the acceptance gate "The five auditability proofs above can
# be produced on demand."
#
# HOW THIS AVOIDS BEING A TAUTOLOGY (the whole design question for a meta-requirement)
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# "A test exists for R-NET-01, therefore isolation is auditable" would pass in any suite that
# compiles and would keep passing while every proof rotted into a scaffold. Four distinct
# failure modes are asserted instead, each by DRIVING the real machinery:
# (a) each of the five proofs has an EXECUTABLE test — not a placeholder scaffold — at the layer
# the spec's own words require (fault injection / a DR drill => L3), taken from
# lib/status.py's own verdict so this check cannot disagree with the status report;
# (b) the proofs are PRODUCIBLE by the documented command: `run.sh --requirements <the five>`
# must resolve to real test dirs AND pass the merge gate's coverage assertion;
# (c) each Chainsaw-layer proof declares a PASS SENTINEL that lib/record_run.py can
# attribute — a proof that passes but records nothing leaves the operator with a green
# terminal and no evidence;
# (d) the evidence chain REFUSES FORGERIES: this check mounts two of its own against the
# real tools — a green JUnit for a real proof test whose log holds only that test's SKIP
# token, and a ledger row claiming `proven` at the repository's ROOT commit — and
# requires record_run.py to report not-proven and status.py to report `stale-proof`. It
# also drives `record_run.py --selftest` and `status.py --selftest`, which NOTHING in
# ci/ or run.sh ran before this test existed.
# The five proofs are not hand-listed where the spec can be read: when the read-only spec repo
# is mounted, docs/07's bullet labels are parsed and must match this check's mapping exactly,
# so a sixth proof added to the spec fails here instead of being silently unverified.
#
# WHY L0: every clause is a property of the repository and its own tooling, needs no cluster,
# and belongs in the merge gate — an audit chain is worth having only if it is intact BEFORE
# anyone needs it.
#
# GIVEN the repository as git tracks it (plus the read-only spec repo when mounted),
# WHEN lib/status.py, lib/common.sh's requirement resolver, run.sh's coverage gate,
# lib/record_run.py's sentinel parser and both evidence tools' self-tests are DRIVEN,
# and two synthetic forgeries are presented to them,
# THEN each of docs/07's five proofs maps to an executable test at the required layer, the
# documented one-command invocation selects and asserts them, each is capturable as a
# ledger row, and neither a self-skip nor a stale row can be recorded as proof.
#
# STATUS: EXECUTABLE. `check.sh` is a pure offline assertion script (git tree + the harness's
# own stdlib tooling; no cluster, no network); conformance/run.sh --layer l0 and ci/l0.sh run
# it directly, and this Chainsaw Test wraps the SAME script.
#
# WHAT THIS TEST FIXED WHILE BEING WRITTEN (recorded, not hidden): three of the tests that ARE
# the automated half of docs/07's isolation and TLS proofs — l2-behavioral/default-deny,
# l2-behavioral/trusted-tls and l2-behavioral/gateway-ingress-reachable — declared NO pass
# sentinel, so lib/record_run.py could never record them as proven and those two audit proofs
# were structurally unrecordable. Each now ends with a proof-of-pass sentinel step. The
# assertion here was NOT relaxed to accommodate them (R-TEST-06).
#
# KNOWN, DELIBERATE GAPS (enumerated in check.sh's header; this test claims none of them):
# * That the five proofs PASS. This asserts they are present, strong, runnable by one
# command, capturable, and that the chain refuses forgeries — not that isolation holds
# today (R-NET-01's test) or that the restore works (R-STATE-03's).
# * HUBBLE. docs/07 names Hubble flow logs as part of the isolation proof; no test in this
# suite queries Hubble. Only the denied-probe half is automated — a real, named gap.
# * LEDGER COMPLETENESS OVER TIME. Nothing offline can prove a row was never removed; that
# would need signed history.
# * R-SEC-03's wording is broader than docs/07's five bullets. Suite-wide coverage of every
# requirement is R-TEST-01/04's claim (tests/meta/harness-selfcheck) and is deliberately
# not re-asserted here.

# The spec makes this meta-requirement concrete. docs/07-security-and-secrets.md
# §"Auditability requirements (R-SEC-03) — what an operator must be able to prove":

# - **Egress path**: "service X's public IP is the VPN's" — via an egress IP check.

# and its acceptance gate: "The five auditability proofs above can be produced on demand."
#
# HOW A META-REQUIREMENT IS TESTED WITHOUT BECOMING A TAUTOLOGY
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# The trap is obvious and this check is built to avoid it: "a test exists for R-NET-01,
# therefore isolation is auditable" is true of any suite that compiles, proves nothing, and
# would keep passing while every proof rotted into a scaffold. Four separate failure modes
# have to be caught for "an operator can PROVE it" to mean anything, and each one is asserted
# by DRIVING the real machinery rather than by reading files:
#
# (a) THE PROOF EXISTS, AT THE RIGHT STRENGTH. Each of the five named proofs maps to a
# requirement that must have an EXECUTABLE verifying test — not a placeholder scaffold — and,
# where the spec's own words name fault injection ("with VPN down"; "a DR drill"), an
# executable L3 test specifically. Executable-vs-scaffold is not re-derived here: this
# check RUNS lib/status.py and reads its verdict, so it cannot disagree with the
# repository's own status report.
# (b) THE PROOF IS PRODUCIBLE ON DEMAND, BY THE DOCUMENTED COMMAND. `run.sh
# --requirements <the five IDs>` must resolve to a non-empty test set and must ASSERT
# their coverage (that flag is the merge gate's own path: it passes --require to
# coverage.py). This check drives run.sh itself, so if the resolver, the labels or the
# gate wiring break, R-SEC-03 fails.
# (c) THE PROOF IS CAPTURABLE. A test that passes but records nothing leaves an operator
# with a green terminal and no evidence. For each Chainsaw-layer proof, the test must
# declare a PASS SENTINEL that lib/record_run.py can actually attribute — computed with
# record_run.py's OWN parser, so deleting a test's sentinel makes this check fail
# instead of silently making the requirement unprovable.
# (d) THE EVIDENCE CANNOT BE FORGED, AND IS NOT HONOURED WHEN STALE. This is the clause
# that makes the check bite. Two INDEPENDENT forgery attempts are mounted against the
# real tools, in a throwaway directory:
# * a Chainsaw run in which the JUnit says a real proof test PASSED while the run log
# carries only that test's SKIP token — the exact shape of a self-skipping L2/L3
# test. record_run.py must refuse to call it `proven`.
# * a ledger row claiming `proven` at a commit that PREDATES the requirement's
# implementing code — status.py must degrade it to `stale-proof`, never green.
# Both tools' own built-in self-tests (`--selftest`) are also driven, because nothing
# in ci/ or run.sh runs them today: the guards that keep a skip from becoming a proof
# were themselves unexercised in the merge gate until this check.
#
# The FIVE PROOFS ARE NOT HAND-LISTED where the spec can be read: when the read-only spec
# repo is mounted, the bullet labels are parsed out of docs/07 and must match this check's
# mapping EXACTLY. Add a sixth proof to the spec and this check fails as unmapped rather
# than quietly ignoring it.
#
# WHY L0: every clause above is a property of the repository and its own tooling, provable
# offline, and it belongs in the merge gate — the point of an audit chain is that it is intact
# BEFORE anyone needs it. Nothing here needs a cluster, and nothing here would be more true
# with one.
#
# WHAT THIS DOES *NOT* PROVE (honest gaps — do not read this check as claiming them):
# - THAT THE FIVE PROOFS PASS. This asserts the proofs are present, strong, runnable by one
# documented command, capturable as evidence, and that the evidence chain refuses
# forgeries. Whether isolation actually holds today is R-NET-01's test; whether the DR
# restore works is R-STATE-03's. R-SEC-03 is about the operator's ABILITY to produce the
# proof, which is what is asserted.
# - HUBBLE. docs/07 names "Hubble flow logs" as part of the isolation proof. No test in this
# suite queries Hubble, and this check does not pretend otherwise: it asserts the
# denied-probe half, which is the half that is automated. The Hubble half remains an
# operator-interactive capability — a real, named gap in R-SEC-03's coverage.
# - THE OPERATOR-FACING NARRATIVE. That a human can find and read the evidence (the status
# report's prose, the ledger's provenance fields) is a usability property, not a testable
# one.
# - LEDGER COMPLETENESS OVER TIME. The ledger is append-only by convention and by review;
# nothing here can prove a row was never removed from it (that would need signed history).
# - THAT THE PROOFS COVER "ALL THE ABOVE PROPERTIES". R-SEC-03's own wording is broader than
# the five bullets docs/07 enumerates. The five are what the spec made concrete and are
# what is asserted; suite-wide coverage of every requirement is R-TEST-01/04's claim,
# tested by tests/meta/harness-selfcheck, and is deliberately NOT re-asserted here.

# L0 STATIC — two egress paths, and the rule set that selects between them (R-NET-04) [EXECUTABLE]
# Catalog: docs/14 L0 row ("Pre-apply, in CI") — runs WITHOUT a cluster.
# Spec: docs/00 R-NET-04 ("The platform MUST support **multiple egress paths** selected by
# routing rules ... realized as two paths — the local `internet` path and the
# in-cluster `vpn` path — not multi-ISP routing"), elaborated by docs/03 §"Egress

# the nodes themselves — egress the local/private WAN by default and **never** the
# VPN. Only services labeled `egress-class=vpn` are steered to the tunnel, and the
# kill-switch blackholes **only** that class."
#
# WHAT THIS ADDS OVER R-NET-05/07 (already covered, and NOT re-tagged here)
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# R-NET-05/07 are about a SERVICE — it declares a class, enforcement is outside it, the class
# flips via GitOps — and are proven by tests/l1-rendering/egress-class-render and
# tests/l2-behavioral/egress-class. R-NET-04 is about the PLATFORM's PATH SET and the RULES
# that select among them, which nothing else asserts:
# * exactly TWO paths, the same closed set in the schema, the admission policy and the
# renderer (a third value would be a path nothing routes; "multi-ISP" is out of scope);
# * selection is by a ROUTING RULE and the rule set is TOTAL AND DISJOINT — exactly one
# Cilium steering rule, selecting only `egress-class=vpn`, and on the gateway node one
# `ip rule` scoped to the tunnel address. NOTHING selects the `internet` class, because
# absence of a matching rule IS the default path;
# * the two paths COEXIST per DESTINATION: private space is excluded from the tunnel, so a
# vpn-class pod's cluster/LAN traffic still takes the local path;
# * the vpn path never becomes the DEFAULT — its default route lives in a dedicated routing
# table, `route-noexec` is set and a pushed `redirect-gateway` is ignored;
# * the kill-switch blackholes ONLY that class — the nft chain's policy is accept and every
# DROP is scoped to the vpn class's own source set/fwmark, so `internet` fails OPEN.
# (R-NET-06's opposite claim, that `vpn` fails CLOSED, is L3's vpn-killswitch.)
#
# WHY L0: every clause above is a statement about ALL rules — including rules that must be
# ABSENT (nothing selects the default path; no unscoped rule; no unqualified drop; no default
# route in the main table). A cluster can show which path two pods took; it cannot show that
# no third rule exists or that the vocabulary is closed.
#
# ENVIRONMENT-AGNOSTIC: no address appears. The private ranges the tunnel must exclude are
# checked as CONTAINMENT of the addresses each environment's own Flux overlay declares (pod
# CIDR, Gateway VIP, LB pool, API host), so a new environment on a different LAN is checked
# against its own values.
#
# GIVEN the repository as git tracks it,
# WHEN the egress vocabulary, every CiliumEgressGatewayPolicy, the gateway node's policy
# routing / OpenVPN / nftables templates, and every environment's overlay addresses are
# parsed and cross-checked,
# THEN there are exactly two paths with `internet` as the default; exactly one steering rule
# selects exactly the vpn class by label; the gateway is selected by node label with a
# named egress interface; all RFC1918 space and every address any environment assigns
# itself is excluded from the tunnel; the tunnel's default route and its fail-closed
# blackhole live only in a dedicated routing table behind a scoped `ip rule`; OpenVPN
# cannot take the main table; and no nftables DROP is unscoped.
#
# STATUS: EXECUTABLE. `check.sh` is a pure offline assertion script (git tree + PyYAML; no
# cluster, no network); conformance/run.sh --layer l0 and ci/l0.sh run it directly, and this
# Chainsaw Test wraps the SAME script.
#
# KNOWN, DELIBERATE GAPS (enumerated in check.sh's header; this test claims none of them):
# * BEHAVIOUR. That an unlabelled pod really takes the WAN path is asserted at L2 by
# tests/l2-behavioral/egress-default-path (same requirement label); the two labelled
# classes are R-NET-05's L2 test; the kill-switch firing is R-NET-06's L3 test.
# * The RUNNING gateway node's routing tables / nftables ruleset. This reads the templates
# that generate them; a hand-added rule on the box is invisible here.
# * PHYSICAL MULTI-WAN's absence is NOT asserted — it is out of scope per OQ-1 and no
# honest repository signal distinguishes "one WAN, correctly" from "one WAN, by default".

# "**Physical multi-WAN (multi-ISP) is out of scope.** With a single WAN there is nothing

# route (`route-noexec` + policy routing), so the node's own traffic stays on the WAN —
# only what Cilium points at `tun0` uses the VPN."
#
# WHAT R-NET-04 ADDS OVER R-NET-05/07 (which are ALREADY covered) — READ THIS FIRST
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# R-NET-05/07 are about a SERVICE: it can declare its class, enforcement happens outside it,
# and the class can be flipped via GitOps. Those are proven by
# tests/l1-rendering/egress-class-render (the render) and tests/l2-behavioral/egress-class
# (two labelled pods observe two different public IPs, and a relabel re-routes the same pod).
# Re-tagging either of those with R-NET-04 would be a duplicate wearing a new label.
#
# R-NET-04 is about the PLATFORM's PATH SET and the RULES THAT SELECT AMONG THEM. Its
# distinctive content — none of which any existing test asserts — is:
#
# (1) THERE ARE EXACTLY TWO PATHS, and the same two everywhere. The class vocabulary is
# one closed set of two values agreed by the schema, the admission policy and the
# renderer. A third value appearing in one of them but not the others would be a path
# nothing routes (or a path nothing validates); "multi-ISP" reappearing as a third
# class would contradict OQ-1's resolution.
# (2) SELECTION IS BY A ROUTING RULE, and the rule set is TOTAL AND DISJOINT. The `vpn`
# path is entered only via rules that select the vpn class — a Cilium
# CiliumEgressGatewayPolicy pod-selector, and on the gateway node an `ip rule` scoped
# to the tunnel source address. Nothing selects the `internet` class, because
# "the `internet` path is simply the default route out": ABSENCE of a matching rule IS
# the default path. So an unlabelled pod, and an `internet`-class pod, take the WAN.
# (3) THE PATHS COEXIST — the choice is per-destination, not per-pod-lifetime. The vpn
# rule tunnels public destinations while EXCLUDING all private space, so a vpn-class
# pod's cluster/LAN traffic still takes the local path at the same time as its
# internet traffic takes the tunnel.
# (4) THE VPN PATH NEVER BECOMES THE DEFAULT. Split tunnel: the tunnel's default route
# lives in a DEDICATED routing table reached only through the scoped rule, the
# provider's pushed `redirect-gateway` is ignored, and `route-noexec` keeps OpenVPN
# from touching the main table. Otherwise there would be one path (the VPN), not two.
# (5) THE KILL-SWITCH BLACKHOLES ONLY THAT CLASS. The blackhole default is inside the
# dedicated table; the nftables chain's policy is ACCEPT and every DROP is qualified
# by the vpn class's own source set / fwmark. The `internet` path therefore fails
# OPEN and can never be blackholed. (R-NET-06's opposite claim — that `vpn` fails
# CLOSED — is proven at L3 by tests/l3-fault-injection/vpn-killswitch. This check
# asserts the OTHER direction, which that test does not.)
#
# WHY L0. Every clause above is a property of the RULE SET, i.e. of authored configuration:
# totality ("nothing selects the default path"), disjointness ("exactly one rule, selecting
# exactly one class"), and scoping ("no unqualified drop, no default route in the main
# table") are statements about ALL rules, including the ones that would have to be absent.
# A running cluster can show you which path two pods took; it cannot show you that no third
# rule exists, that no rule is unscoped, or that the vocabulary is closed. The behavioural
# complement — that an UNLABELLED pod really does take the WAN path — is at L2 in
# tests/l2-behavioral/egress-default-path (same requirement label).
#
# ENVIRONMENT-AGNOSTIC: no address is written down. The private ranges the vpn rule must
# exclude are checked as CONTAINMENT of the addresses each environment's own Flux overlay
# declares (pod CIDR, Gateway VIP, LB pool, API host) — so a new environment on a different
# LAN is checked against its own addresses, and the check keeps working when they change.
#
# WHAT THIS DOES *NOT* PROVE (honest gaps — do not read this check as claiming them):
# - Behaviour. That a vpn-class pod's packets really leave via tun0, that an unlabelled
# pod's really do not, and that the tunnel is up at all. L2 covers the two labelled
# classes (tests/l2-behavioral/egress-class, R-NET-05) and the unlabelled default
# (tests/l2-behavioral/egress-default-path, R-NET-04); the kill-switch firing is L3.
# - THE RUNNING NODE's routing tables and nftables ruleset. This reads the templates that
# generate them, driven by no node. A hand-added `ip rule` on the gateway node is
# invisible here (and to every other test); drift on the box is an Ansible check-mode
# exercise for the operator.
# - PHYSICAL MULTI-WAN. Out of scope per OQ-1, so its absence is not asserted: there is no
# honest repository signal that would distinguish "one WAN, correctly" from "one WAN,
# because nobody tried" — and inventing one would be a hollow assertion.
# - IPv6. The policy's CIDRs and the routing rules are IPv4-only, matching the platform.
# If IPv6 egress is ever enabled, the `internet` path would need the same analysis and
# this check would NOT catch its absence.

# L0 STATIC — the HA control plane is authored, for every environment (R-PLAT-01) [EXECUTABLE]
# Catalog: docs/14 L0 row ("Pre-apply, in CI") — runs WITHOUT a cluster.
# Spec: docs/00 R-PLAT-01 ("The platform MUST run on k3s across 3 nodes with
# production-grade HA control plane in prod; dev/test MAY run fewer nodes but MUST
# exercise the same multi-node topology"), elaborated by docs/01 ("k3s (HA,
# embedded etcd)") and docs/02 ("HA embedded etcd (k3s server on all 3)",
# "3 physical nodes", "no external datastore", "the *same* Ansible bootstrap runs").
#
# WHY L0: R-PLAT-01 has an authored half and an observed half. The authored half — that the
# configuration in git BUILDS a 3-server embedded-etcd control plane in BOTH environments
# from one code path, with exactly one --cluster-init founder, no external datastore, and a
# floating API endpoint that is SAN'd into the serving cert and cannot collide with the
# Service-LB allocator — is provable with no cluster and is ONLY provable here: a live
# cluster cannot tell you what the NEXT environment brought up from this repo would look
# like. The observed half is asserted separately at L2 by
# tests/l2-behavioral/ha-control-plane, which carries the same requirement label.
#
# ENVIRONMENT-AGNOSTIC: no hostname, address, node count or group name is written down.
# Environments are enumerated from the R-ENV-02 seam itself (k3s_primary_group /
# k3s_servers_group in group_vars), and WHICH one is prod is derived from the Flux overlay
# that environment bootstraps (flux_bootstrap_env_path) — never from a group's name.
#
# GIVEN the repository as git tracks it,
# WHEN the inventory, the k3s_server and kube_vip roles, their plays and each
# environment's Flux overlay are parsed and cross-checked against each other,
# THEN k3s is the pinned distro and nothing is installed as an agent; every environment
# resolves to an ODD, quorum-capable server count (prod exactly three) with EXACTLY
# ONE --cluster-init founder and every other server joining it with --server;
# the datastore is k3s's embedded etcd (no --datastore-endpoint, no --disable-etcd);
# the API's floating endpoint is a leader-elected, control-plane-ONLY kube-vip
# DaemonSet on every server whose address is the environment-scoped VIP, that VIP is
# in the apiserver serving cert's SANs together with every server's own address, and
# it is neither a node address nor the ingress Gateway VIP nor inside that
# environment's Cilium LoadBalancer pool; and dev/test and prod are built by the SAME
# roles and plays retargeted by variables only.
#
# STATUS: EXECUTABLE. `check.sh` is a pure offline assertion script (git tree + PyYAML; no
# cluster, no network); conformance/run.sh --layer l0 and ci/l0.sh run it directly, and this
# Chainsaw Test wraps the SAME script.
#
# KNOWN, DELIBERATE GAPS (enumerated in check.sh's header; this test claims none of them):
# * The LIVE clusters' shape (three Ready servers, all etcd members, VIP actually floating,
# API answering through it) — asserted at L2 by tests/l2-behavioral/ha-control-plane.
# * FAILOVER. That the control plane survives losing a server (quorum holds, the VIP moves)
# is a fault-injection claim and is proven NOWHERE yet — tests/l3-fault-injection/node-loss

# * "Production-grade" as a hardware/performance judgement (operator decision, §2 of
# infra/PROD-PROVISIONING.md).
# * kube-vip is NOT imported by playbooks/site.yml, so the floating endpoint is a separate
# operator step. Observed and reported, NOT asserted — R-PLAT-01 does not fix the

# * `K3S_API_HOST` (Cilium's k8sServiceHost) is the PRIMARY NODE's address in both

# L0 static check (offline, no cluster) — ha-control-plane-as-code

# HA control plane in prod; dev/test MAY run fewer nodes but MUST exercise the
# same multi-node topology." — spec docs/00-vision-and-scope.md).
#
# The elaborating spec text this check quotes and asserts against:
# docs/01-architecture-overview.md "Kubernetes distro | **k3s** (HA, embedded etcd)"
# docs/02-environments-and-provisioning.md, table:
# "Control plane | HA embedded etcd (k3s server on all 3) | HA embedded etcd

# nodes we do not isolate control-plane nodes."
# "For prod bare-metal, the *same* Ansible bootstrap runs; only the machine-creation
# step differs"
#
# WHY L0 IS THE RIGHT LAYER FOR THESE CLAUSES (and where the rest lives)
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
# R-PLAT-01 splits cleanly in two, and the halves are provable at different layers:
#
# AUTHORED half — "the configuration in git builds a 3-server HA embedded-etcd control
# plane in BOTH environments, from ONE code path": provable with no cluster, and
# ONLY provable here. A live cluster cannot tell you whether the *next* environment
# brought up from this repo will also be HA, whether a second `--cluster-init`
# founder could exist, or whether an external datastore is configured anywhere. That
# is this check.
# OBSERVED half — "the cluster this suite is pointed at really is 3 Ready servers, all
# etcd members, with the API answering through the floating VIP": that is cluster
# state and lives in tests/l2-behavioral/ha-control-plane (same requirement label).
#
# Neither half is sufficient alone, and this file claims only the first.
#
# ENVIRONMENTS ARE DERIVED, NOT LISTED. The check does not know the words "dev" or "prod"
# as inventory names. It enumerates environments from the R-ENV-02 seam itself — the
# `k3s_primary_group` / `k3s_servers_group` pair in group_vars/all.yml plus every
# group_vars/<group>/vars.yml that overrides them — and identifies WHICH environment is
# prod by the Flux overlay that environment bootstraps (`flux_bootstrap_env_path`), not by
# its group name. Add a fourth prod node, rename a group, or add a third environment and
# the assertions follow; nothing here restates an address, a hostname or a node count.
#
# GIVEN the repository as git tracks it,
# WHEN the Ansible inventory, the k3s/kube-vip roles and plays, and each environment's
# Flux overlay are parsed and cross-checked against each other,
# THEN DISTRO: k3s is the distro, pinned, installed by the one role, and no node is
# installed as an `agent` (an agent is not a control-plane member);
# SERVERS: every environment's server group resolves to a quorum-capable, ODD
# number of hosts (>= 3, tolerating >= 1 loss), the PROD environment to
# EXACTLY three, and each has EXACTLY ONE `--cluster-init` founder while
# every other server joins it with `--server` (so a second founder — the
# split-brain shape — cannot be authored);
# ETCD: the datastore is k3s's EMBEDDED etcd: no `--datastore-endpoint` and no
# `--disable-etcd` anywhere in the provisioning code, so every server is
# an etcd member (docs/02's "no external datastore", "on all 3");
# ENDPOINT: the API has a floating endpoint that survives losing the founder — the
# kube-vip VIP is control-plane-only (never Service LB, or it would fight
# Cilium LB-IPAM for ARP), leader-elected, deployed to EVERY server, and
# baked into the apiserver serving cert's SAN list ALONG WITH every
# server's own address (so TLS validates whichever node answers);
# ADDRESSES: each environment's control-plane VIP is not one of its node addresses,
# is not that environment's ingress Gateway VIP, and lies OUTSIDE that
# environment's Cilium LoadBalancer pool — the two allocators can never be
# handed the same address;
# ONE PATH: dev/test and prod are brought up by the SAME role and the SAME plays,
# retargeted by variables only (docs/02 "the *same* Ansible bootstrap
# runs"), so "exercise the same multi-node topology" is a property of the
# code rather than a coincidence of two hand-written inventories.
#
# WHAT THIS DOES *NOT* PROVE (honest gaps — do not read this check as claiming them):
# - THE LIVE CLUSTERS. That three nodes are Ready, that all three are etcd members with
# a healthy quorum, that kube-vip is actually floating the VIP, and that the API
# answers through it. All of that is asserted at L2 by
# tests/l2-behavioral/ha-control-plane, which reads it from the cluster under test.
# - FAILOVER. That the control plane SURVIVES the loss of a server (etcd quorum holds,
# the VIP moves, the API stays up) is a fault-injection claim. The nearest existing
# coverage is tests/l3-fault-injection/node-loss, which drains a node for R-STATE-02's
# data-availability claim and does NOT assert control-plane survival. A dedicated
# "kill the VIP leader / kill the founder" L3 test is the remaining R-PLAT-01 gap and
# is NOT claimed here or at L2.
# - "PRODUCTION-GRADE" AS A HARDWARE/OPERATIONS JUDGEMENT. Whether three converged
# mini-PCs with etcd sharing a spindle with Longhorn is production-grade is an operator
# decision recorded in infra/PROD-PROVISIONING.md §2, not a repository property. This
# check asserts the control-plane TOPOLOGY the spec fixes, not a performance verdict.
# - THAT kube-vip IS PART OF THE ONE-COMMAND BRING-UP. playbooks/site.yml chains
# node-baseline -> k3s -> cilium -> verify -> flux-bootstrap and does NOT import
# kube-vip.yml, so the floating endpoint is a separate operator step. That is recorded
# here as an observation for the PM, NOT asserted: R-PLAT-01 requires an HA control
# plane, and does not name kube-vip or fix the bring-up order (R-TEST-06 — do not
# invent a requirement's meaning).
# - CILIUM'S OWN API ENDPOINT. `K3S_API_HOST` (clusters/*/kustomization.yaml), which
# becomes Cilium's `k8sServiceHost` for kube-proxy replacement, is the PRIMARY NODE's
# address in both environments — not the floating VIP — even though the prod overlay's
# own comment says it "is the prod CONTROL-PLANE VIP (kube-vip), NOT ... the single node
# address .10". That is a real single-node dependency in the CNI's control-plane path
# and it is ESCALATED to the PM rather than asserted: making this check fail would turn
# the merge gate red over a design question this workstream may not decide (R-TEST-06).
# - IPv6 / dual-stack, and any claim about the edge network.

# about the case R-NET-04 actually turns on: a pod that NO routing rule selects. This test adds
# that pod, and asserts the two claims that make a rule-selected path set complete:
#
# TOTALITY — an UNLABELLED pod egresses the WAN, i.e. the same public IP as the
# explicitly-`internet` pod. Absence of a matching rule IS a path, and it is
# the local one. If the steering rule ever widened (an empty selector, a
# matchExpression, a second rule), this pod's IP would move to the tunnel and
# this assertion is what would notice.
# COEXISTENCE — the WAN path and the VPN path are live AT THE SAME TIME, observed in one
# pass: three pods, two distinct public IPs. "Multiple egress paths" is a
# simultaneity claim, not a claim that one switch has two positions.
# PER-DESTINATION SELECTION — the vpn-class pod still reaches an in-cluster/RFC1918
# destination over the LOCAL path while its public traffic is tunnelled. The
# tunnel is destination-scoped (excludedCIDRs), not a default route, so ONE pod
# uses BOTH paths at once.
#
# ENVIRONMENT-AGNOSTIC (R-ENV-02): no address, hostname or range appears. Every assertion is a
# RELATION between observed values (equal / not-equal), so it holds against dev and prod alike
# and survives the WAN or the VPN provider rotating addresses.
#
# GIVEN one unlabelled, one `internet`-class and one `vpn`-class pod — the same workload three
# times, differing only in the class they declare (or do not),
# WHEN each asks an external echo for the public IP it egressed from, and the vpn-class pod
# also resolves a name through the in-cluster resolver,
# THEN the unlabelled pod's public IP EQUALS the internet-class pod's (the default route out
# is the WAN, and the VPN is strictly opt-in);
# AND the vpn-class pod's public IP DIFFERS from both (a second, simultaneously-live path);
# AND the vpn-class pod still resolves in-cluster (its private-destination traffic was not
# swallowed by the tunnel), so the same pod is using both paths at once.
#
# WHAT THIS DOES *NOT* PROVE (honest gaps — do not read this test as claiming them):
# - THAT NO OTHER RULE EXISTS. Three pods cannot enumerate a rule set. That exactly one
# steering rule is authored, that it selects only the vpn class, that no `ip rule` is
# unscoped and no nftables DROP unqualified is the L0 half, in
# tests/l0-static/egress-paths-selected-by-rules (same requirement label).
# - WHICH INTERFACE the packets left by. The observation is the public IP an external echo
# reports; it distinguishes the paths without naming them. Asserting "out tun0" would need
# host-level datapath inspection (Hubble/tcpdump on the gateway node), which no test in
# this suite does.
# - THE KILL-SWITCH. Tunnel-down behaviour is R-NET-06's, at L3 (vpn-killswitch): `vpn`
# fails closed. Its mirror — that `internet` is never blackholed — is asserted statically
# by the L0 half, not here.
# - NODE traffic. docs/03 also says "the nodes themselves" egress the WAN by default. That
# is a host-level fact this test cannot see from a pod.
# - EXTERNAL DEPENDENCY, stated plainly: the public-IP echo (api.ipify.org) is off-cluster,
# so a WAN outage or the echo being down fails this test. That is the same dependency
# tests/l2-behavioral/egress-class already carries; the alternative — trusting the
# cluster's own account of which path it used — would not be a behavioural test at all.
#
# CLEANUP: chainsaw deletes the per-test namespace (all three pods with it). Nothing outside
# that namespace is created or changed — no label on a platform object, no policy edit.

Given an unlabelled, an internet-class and a vpn-class pod, when each observes the public
IP it egressed from, then the unlabelled pod's IP equals the internet-class pod's (the
default route out is the WAN, the VPN is opt-in) while the vpn-class pod's differs — two
paths live at once — and the vpn-class pod still reaches in-cluster destinations over the
local path, so one pod uses both paths simultaneously.

# Spec: docs/00 R-PLAT-01 ("The platform MUST run on k3s across 3 nodes with
# production-grade HA control plane in prod; dev/test MAY run fewer nodes but MUST
# exercise the same multi-node topology.")
# docs/01 "Kubernetes distro | **k3s** (HA, embedded etcd) | R-PLAT-01/02"
# docs/02 table: "Control plane | HA embedded etcd (k3s server on all 3) | HA
# embedded etcd (k3s server on all 3)"

# docs/02 §"k3s topology decisions": "HA control plane with **embedded etcd** across
# all 3 nodes (no external datastore)"; "Nodes are both control-plane and workload
# (3-node converged cluster)".
#
# WHY L2 — AND WHAT L0 ALREADY DID
# --------------------------------
# tests/l0-static/ha-control-plane-as-code (same requirement label) proves the AUTHORED
# half offline: the repo builds a 3-server embedded-etcd control plane in both environments,
# one founder, no external datastore, a leader-elected control-plane-only VIP in the serving
# cert's SANs. It cannot prove that any of it is TRUE OF A RUNNING CLUSTER — an inventory
# entry is not a node, and a templated DaemonSet is not a floating VIP. That is this test:
# every assertion below is read from the cluster the suite is pointed at.
#
# ENVIRONMENT-AGNOSTIC (R-ENV-02): no address, hostname, node count or range is written
# here. The expected node count comes from the cluster's OWN declared identity
# (flux-system/cluster-vars CLUSTER_ENV, via a test-level chainsaw binding — the same
# ConfigMap Flux substitutes from); the control-plane VIP is read out of the kube-vip
# DaemonSet the cluster is actually running; the server addresses come from the Node
# objects; and the LoadBalancer pool the VIP must stay outside of is read from cluster-vars
# too. R-PLAT-01 itself distinguishes prod from dev/test ("3 nodes ... in prod; dev/test MAY
# run fewer"), so the assertion is necessarily environment-AWARE — but it takes the
# environment from the cluster, never from a flag or a literal, which is precisely the
# mechanism the tests/README.md convention prescribes.
#
# GIVEN the cluster this suite is pointed at,
# WHEN its Nodes, its kube-vip DaemonSet and its kube-apiserver endpoints are inspected,
# THEN DISTRO: every node's kubelet is a k3s build (`+k3s`) — the distro really is k3s;
# SERVERS: every Ready node is BOTH control-plane AND etcd (the converged 3-node
# topology docs/02 fixes — no agent-only node, no control-plane-only node),
# the count is ODD and quorum-capable (tolerates >= 1 loss), and it is
# EXACTLY three when the cluster declares itself prod;
# ETCD: every one of those nodes is a REGISTERED embedded-etcd member (k3s stamps
# `etcd.k3s.cattle.io/node-name` on a node that joined the etcd cluster), so
# the datastore is embedded and replicated across all of them;
# VIP: kube-vip is Ready on EVERY control-plane node, is control-plane-only
# (svc_enable=false — it must not contend with Cilium LB-IPAM for ARP), and
# the address it floats is neither a node address, nor the ingress Gateway
# VIP, nor inside the Cilium LoadBalancer pool;
# ENDPOINT: the kube-apiserver answers `/readyz` THROUGH THAT VIP over TLS that
# validates against the cluster CA for the VIP itself — i.e. the VIP really
# fronts the API and the serving cert really carries it;
# EVERY SERVER SERVES: the apiserver also answers `/readyz` on EVERY server's own
# address, again with a CA-valid cert for that address. This is the assertion
# that separates a real HA control plane from one server plus two joiners:
# if only the founder ran an apiserver, the other addresses would refuse.
#
# THE PROBE RUNS IN-CLUSTER, DELIBERATELY. An earlier draft dialled the VIP and the node
# addresses from the RUNNER. That works from a host on the node LAN (verified against prod)
# and FAILS against dev, whose nodes sit behind a NAT the runner reaches only via a
# forwarded port — i.e. it would have made the test a property of where it was launched
# from. A Job on the cluster is on the node network in both environments, so the probe is
# the same probe everywhere. The Job is created imperatively (kubectl heredoc) rather than
# as a fixture file because its address list is DISCOVERED from the cluster at run time —
# writing it into a fixture is exactly the per-environment literal R-ENV-02 forbids.
#
# WHAT THIS DOES *NOT* PROVE (honest gaps — do not read this test as claiming them):
# - FAILOVER / SURVIVAL. Nothing here removes a node. That etcd keeps quorum, that the VIP
# migrates, and that the API stays reachable when a server dies is an L3 fault-injection
# claim and is proven NOWHERE in this suite yet (tests/l3-fault-injection/node-loss
# drains a node for R-STATE-02's data-availability claim and asserts nothing about the
# control plane). This is the largest remaining R-PLAT-01 gap.
# - THE NEXT environment. That the repo would build an HA control plane again is the L0
# half (tests/l0-static/ha-control-plane-as-code).
# - "PRODUCTION-GRADE" as a capacity/performance judgement (operator's, docs/02 + §2 of
# infra/PROD-PROVISIONING.md).
# - Cilium's own `k8sServiceHost` (cluster-vars `K3S_API_HOST`) is the PRIMARY NODE's
# address, not this VIP, in both environments. That single-node dependency in the CNI's
# control-plane path is escalated to the PM, not asserted here (R-TEST-06).
# - etcd health beyond membership registration (raft leader, DB size, alarms) — k3s exposes
# it only on the node-local etcd metrics port, which is not reachable through the
# Kubernetes API this test is allowed to use.
#
# CLEANUP: the probe Job lives in chainsaw's per-test namespace and is deleted with it
# (config/chainsaw-config.yaml skipDelete: false). Everything else is read-only: this test
# creates nothing outside its own namespace and mutates no platform object.
