HAND-OFF 2 (L2/L3 conformance wiring) — DEFERRED with a concrete plan, per the
hand-off's escape hatch (too risky to wire live cluster access from CI autonomously;
do NOT hand CI a broad kubeconfig).
The intended seam (in-cluster Chainsaw Job under its own scoped SA; CI holds only a
narrow trigger credential) is mostly scaffolded but not safe to finish autonomously:
- ci/conformance.sh still runs run.sh locally rather than triggering the in-cluster Job.
- conformance/incluster/chainsaw-job.yaml has no repo-clone init-container and the stock
chainsaw image lacks bash/python3/kubectl/git that run.sh needs.
- No trigger SA/RBAC/credential exists, and the core blocker is a privilege-escalation
design question: any `create jobs` credential in the conformance namespace can create a
Job running as the privileged conformance-runner SA. This needs an admission constraint
(recommended: narrow trigger SA + a Kyverno policy pinning the admissible Job shape), or
a GitOps-native zero-credential trigger — an operator decision.
- conformance/incluster/ isn't wired into Flux; Gitea vars/secrets aren't provisioned.
docs/plans/l2-l3-conformance-ci-wiring.md captures current state, the security analysis,
the functional gaps, a file-by-file step sequence, validation/rollback, and the open
decisions. gate.yml's conformance placeholder now points to it (still if:false, honest).

HAND-OFF 1 (make -C ci gate parity).
touched-requirements.sh gained a third scoping rule: after stripping the diff
marker, whole-line YAML/shell `#` comments are dropped BEFORE the R-ID grep. A
requirement cited only in a code-file comment is prose (a REFERENCE), not a
declaration -- the same logic rule 2 already applies to `*.md`. This unblocks the
self-referential trap where editing gate.yml's header (which cites R-TEST-06, a
known-uncovered ID enforced by the spec-immutability STAGE, not a Chainsaw test)
re-attributed R-TEST-06 so the coverage `--require` check false-blocked the merge.
Conservative: only whole-line comments are dropped; an R-ID on a real code/spec
line is still detected, and authoritative declarations never live in a bare comment.
gate.yml now invokes the aggregate `make -C ci gate` (ci/gate.sh) instead of the
individual stage scripts, so CI runs byte-for-byte the same gate a human runs in the
devcontainer (R-TEST-02) and applies the R-TEST-03 decision. A BLOCKED gate exits
non-zero and fails the job. The cluster-gated L2/L3 stage SKIPS honestly (no
CLUSTER_AVAILABLE). spec-immutability is retained as an explicit early UI step.
Adds ci/tests/touched-requirements.test.sh (+ `make -C ci test`) asserting rule 3:
comment-only R-IDs (added or removed) are not attributed while real-line R-IDs are.
ci/lib.sh REPO_ROOT is now env-overridable so tests can run the real script against a
throwaway git repo (default unchanged).

The committed apps/ goldens were a MIX of two render flag sets: 8 services
were rendered with `--no-image-automation` (no image CRs) while gitea and
nextcloud carried stale ImageRepository/ImagePolicy CRs from a render WITHOUT
the flag. Neither single command reproduced all goldens, and the gate did not
catch it.
Part A — canonical render:
python3 catalog/render.py --all catalog -o apps --wave-layout --no-image-automation
`--no-image-automation` is canonical: image automation is authored-but-DISABLED
(DECISIONS-LOG; image-reflector/-automation controllers not installed), and
every app was onboarded via this flag. Re-render drops the ImageRepository +
ImagePolicy objects from gitea + nextcloud only (52 line deletions, purely the
trailing image-automation blocks). No functional content changed — the
nextcloud postStart hardening and gitea OIDC hook are untouched.
Part B — enforcement:
ci/render-golden.sh renders every onboarded catalog service with the canonical
command into a temp dir and FAILS on ANY diff vs committed apps/ (missing
golden or content drift), across all 10 services (not just the 3 L1 spot-checks).
Not-onboarded catalog entries (keycloak, vm-demo) are excluded per DESIGN-waves.
Wired as a required no-cluster stage in ci/gate.sh, ci/Makefile, and both the
live (.gitea/workflows/gate.yml) and dormant (merge-gate.yaml) pipelines.
Proof: tampering a golden makes the stage exit 1 (blocks merge); reverting
restores exit 0. `make -C ci gate` green in the devcontainer.

The static gate passes (lint + Kyverno L0 + L1 render) but the trailing
actions/upload-artifact@v4 step fails with "not supported on GHES" — Gitea Actions
does not implement the artifact-v2 backend — and its always() failure sank the whole
job. Remove the step; JUnit/coverage remain in the job workspace. Re-add via the
@v3 action or Gitea's artifact backend later if retention is needed.

`make -C ci spec-immutability || [ $? -eq 3 ]` fails on the honest skip: GNU make
exits 2 when the recipe exits 3, so the guard never matches. Invoke the script
directly so the exit-3 skip (spec repo not checked out in CI) is tolerated while a
real spec drift (exit 1) still blocks.

- install-tools.sh: the kyverno CLI release tarball is named _linux_x86_64, not
_linux_amd64 (mirrors infra/devcontainer/Containerfile). The gate job's kyverno
install 404'd on amd64; map amd64 -> x86_64 for kyverno only.
- act-runner: wait for /certs/client/ca.pem (published by the DinD sidecar) before
exec-ing the entrypoint, eliminating the startup crash-loop race.

STEP 1 — enable Gitea Actions: pin GITEA__actions__ENABLED=true and
DEFAULT_ACTIONS_URL=github in the gitea bootstrap patch (was implicit upstream
default; make it a declared property).
STEP 2 — deploy + register an act_runner in a dedicated non-app namespace
(gitea-actions) so the privileged DinD executor sidecar is admitted without a
Kyverno policy exception (restrict-host-namespaces scopes to app namespaces only).
Docker executor + DinD sidecar over a shared TLS-cert emptyDir; runner state on a
Longhorn PVC (registers once). Registration token delivered as a SOPS-encrypted
Secret decrypted by Flux. Runner mounts no ServiceAccount token (R-SEC-02).
STEP 3 — author .gitea/workflows/gate.yml: the live enforced merge gate running
the STATIC layers (spec-immutability best-effort, lint, Kyverno L0, L1 render) via
`make -C ci lint l0 l1` with the pinned toolchain installed at job start. L2/L3
conformance is an if:false placeholder (needs a toolchain image + scoped cluster
creds — a design decision, not wired). merge-gate.yaml reduced to workflow_dispatch
(dormant full-pipeline blueprint). install-tools.sh gains check-jsonschema so the
schema stage validates in CI instead of skipping.

Adopt the spec's Phase-0 clarifications (spec now at pin a7fc19f) into the impl:
- schema v1.1: enforce exposure:public => auth.mode!=none (positive+negative tested).
- Kyverno: add longhorn=>size and longhorn=>NOT-reacquirable invariants (R-STATE-02/03).
- Ratify the homelab.keithjackson.dev/* label-key convention (now in spec docs/03).
- R-TEST-06 spec-immutability gate: ci/SPEC_PIN + ci/spec-immutability.sh + gate.sh
stage + Makefile target + a Gitea job (checks spec repo clean & at pin).
- touched-requirements.sh: conformance tags are the authoritative source.
Reconcile 3 CI seams the CI worker flagged (gate was RED, now GREEN):
- create schemas/validate.sh (SCHEMA_VALIDATE_CMD entrypoint) — L0 schema gate runs.
- fix l1.sh/conformance.sh to run.sh's real interface (fixed _artifacts/ paths; no
--junit/--coverage) and collect artifacts.
- exec bits on new scripts.
make -C ci gate => PASS (l0 skips locally w/o kyverno binary; green in CI).
