jakman85andClaude Opus 5 4c4f5355d9 fix(sso): postStart hooks must exit 0 — nextcloud crashlooped the moment OIDC ran
gate / gate (push) Has been cancelled
gate / conformance (push) Has been cancelled
LIVE REGRESSION, caught on the reconcile after merging #5. nextcloud went
CrashLoopBackOff with FailedPostStartHook, 7 restarts, and apps-wave-1/2 stalled.

ROOT CAUSE — a latent bug that could never fire until now. The final statement of
nextcloud's postStart script was:

    [ "$p" -ge 15 ] && nextcloud_oidc_fail "could not promote ... after retries"

On the SUCCESS path (p < 15) the test returns 1, and as the script's LAST command that
becomes the hook's exit status. A non-zero postStart exit makes the kubelet KILL the
container. This was harmless for as long as the OIDC guard above it was dead code that
exited 0 first (see 3484955) — fixing that guard made the block execute for the first
time in these apps' deployed lifetime, and the bug fired immediately.

That is the honest sequence: the previous commit did not introduce this defect, it
UNCOVERED it. Two bugs stacked, and the outer one hid the inner one.

FIX: convert to a plain `if`, then `exit 0` explicitly, with a comment recording why.

Also made gitea's hook explicit. Its last statement already returned 0 on both paths, so
it was correct by accident of ordering; leaving one hook implicitly-safe and one
explicitly-safe invites exactly this class back. Both now end with an unconditional
`exit 0`, and both say why in-file.

Every failure path in both hooks still logs loudly to stderr AND writes a marker file on
the persistent volume, and deliberately does NOT crash the pod — the break-glass local
admin must stay usable. That contract is now actually honoured; before, the success path
was the one that crashed.

Fixed in catalog/ (the ServiceDefinitions are the source of truth) and goldens
regenerated; render==golden green, renderer selftest PASS.

Serves: R-IDP-02, R-IDP-06, R-GITOPS-02.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 3484955903 fix(sso): gitea + nextcloud OIDC bootstrap was DEAD CODE — envsubst ate the guard
Both ServiceDefinitions guarded their Keycloak OIDC registration with an UNESCAPED
braced expansion:

    if [ -z "${GITEA_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET:-}" ]; then      # gitea
    if [ -z "${NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET:-}" ]; then  # nextcloud, then exit 0

apps-wave-0/1 both declare postBuild.substituteFrom: cluster-vars, and neither name is a
cluster-vars key — so Flux's envsubst substituted them away AT RECONCILE TIME, long
before the container ever ran. Verified in the LIVE cluster: the deployed Deployments
literally contain

    if [ -z "" ]; then

which is always true. The entire OIDC registration block has been skipped on EVERY boot
of both apps.

WHY NOBODY NOTICED: both apps DO have the provider registered — `gitea admin auth list`
shows keycloak/OAuth2/true and `occ user_oidc:provider` shows the keycloak provider.
Those live in each app's own database, persisted from an earlier successful registration.
SSO works today and DECISIONS-LOG is not wrong. But the idempotent re-registration is
dead, so any PVC rebuild, DB restore, or fresh cluster build comes up with NO OIDC and
only the break-glass local admin. A PROD BUILD FROM THIS REPO WOULD SILENTLY HAVE NO SSO
on gitea or nextcloud.

The irony: the surrounding code was hardened twice — see its own comments about a "silent
first-boot RACE", the verify-then-retry loops, the marker files. All of that hardening was
unreachable, because the guard above it always evaluated true.

Not a regression from the recent R-ENV-02 tokenization — introduced 2026-08-27 (8738871).

FIXED AT THE RIGHT SEAM: apps/wave-0/gitea.yaml and apps/wave-1/nextcloud.yaml are
RENDER-GENERATED, so the fix is in catalog/*.yaml and the goldens are regenerated.
Escaped to $${...}, the convention documented in clusters/base/apps-vms.yaml. Post-envsubst
the container now receives the intended `${VAR:-}` instead of `""`.

STRICT MODE WOULD NEVER HAVE CAUGHT THIS. Flux deliberately exempts default-providing
operators (-, :-, +, :+, =, :=, ?, :?) from StrictPostBuildSubstitutions, because they
"intentionally handle the unset case". So a targeted check was required.

MADE UN-REPEATABLE IN THE RENDERER: catalog/render.py gains a substitution-safety section
wired into emit(), so every render path refuses to emit a manifest containing a braced
expansion that is not exactly ${KNOWN_KEY} for a key read LIVE from cluster-vars (no
hardcoded copy to drift; unreadable => empty set => fail-closed). Dollar-runs are counted
properly ($$ is a literal $ to envsubst, so odd runs are flagged and even runs are not),
and indexed forms get their own hard-error message. Nine new --selftest assertions,
including the exact regression. Proven to bite: rendering the pre-fix catalog files from
HEAD now exits 1 with the precise diagnosis.

Sweep: the complete substituted surface was enumerated from every Kustomization's path.
catalog/ contains exactly TWO braced expansions and both were these bugs; every other
braced expansion on a substituted path is a declared cluster-vars key (zero typos, zero
undeclared names); existing $${UOS_URL} escapes verified intact.

Verified: --selftest PASS; canonical render is byte-identical to the committed apps/ for
all 10 onboarded services; the three L1 render checks pass.

NEXT RECONCILE: both pod templates change, so gitea (wave 0) and nextcloud (wave 1) roll —
strategy: Recreate on RWO Longhorn PVCs, so expect a brief single-pod outage each. The
OIDC block then executes for the first time in these apps' deployed lifetime. Both paths
are idempotent (gitea takes auth update-oauth on the existing id; nextcloud's
user_oidc:provider is create-or-update), so the expected result is a no-op re-write plus
the verify loop logging success. If the SOPS client secret ever diverged from Keycloak's,
this is when it gets corrected instead of silently left stale. Tail both pods after merge.

jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 68690e5019 fix(net): allow SSO apps egress to keycloak backend (Cilium 1.20 CVE-2025-30162)
App SSO broke cluster-wide after the Cilium 1.16.5->1.20.1 upgrade: the CVE-2025-30162 fix (in
>=1.16.8/1.17.2) makes the shared Gateway's L7 proxy re-evaluate a pod's egress policy against
Keycloak's REAL backend cluster identity (enforce_policy_on_l7lb) when it hairpins to keycloak.home.
'toEntities: world' matches the Gateway VIP at L3/L4 but not the resolved keycloak identity at L7, so
OIDC discovery/token 403'd ('Access denied') for every app with a NetworkPolicy (gitea/nextcloud/
semaphore/headlamp/crafty...); Grafana survived only because monitoring has no NetworkPolicy.

Fix: explicit toEndpoints egress allow to the keycloak backend for SSO apps.
- catalog/render.py: emit it for auth.mode in {oidc,forward-auth}; re-rendered 8 app goldens.
- platform/headlamp + platform/crafty: hand-written policies get the same allow.
Split-horizon design unchanged. Verified live: headlamp-ns -> keycloak discovery 403 -> 200.

jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 fe0ee698c4 fix(apps): reconcile goldens to one canonical render + enforce render==golden gate
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.

jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 d34c639269 fix(oidc): make gitea + nextcloud OIDC login-source registration persist
The Keycloak OIDC postStart registration for gitea and nextcloud ran but
never persisted, leaving `gitea admin auth list` empty and nextcloud's
user_oidc with "No providers configured" despite the apps installing/
enabling and the client secret being present.

Two distinct root causes, confirmed by running the registration manually
against the live warm pods:

- nextcloud: a QUOTING BUG, not a race. The OCC() wrapper runs
  `su -c "php occ $*"`, which word-split `--scope="openid email profile"`
  back into three tokens, so occ saw `email profile` as extra positional
  args -> "Too many arguments to user_oidc:provider" -> exit 1, swallowed
  by `|| echo failed`. Failed on EVERY boot. Fixed by running the provider
  call as ONE `su -c` with the scope single-quoted so www-data's shell
  keeps it a single argument; keep the OCC() wrapper only for single-token
  subcommands.
- gitea: a first-boot RACE. The direct `admin auth add-oauth` persists once
  the app/network is warm (verified live), but fired too early at postStart
  and its failure was swallowed (`|| echo ... >&2`, exit 0).

Hardening applied to both catalog sources (rendered into apps/wave-*):
- wait (bounded ~90s) for the Keycloak discovery doc to return HTTP 200;
- nextcloud also waits for `installed: true` AND `maintenance: false`;
- register idempotently (create-or-update) then VERIFY the source/provider
  actually persisted, retrying the whole cycle (guards exit-0-but-nothing-
  stuck);
- on give-up, log LOUDLY to stderr AND a marker file on the persistent
  volume (/data, /var/www/html) instead of swallowing — next failure is
  visible;
- never crashloop: missing-secret guard retained, break-glass local admin
  stays usable.

jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 87388712f0 feat(gitea): wire native Keycloak OIDC SSO (break-glass admin retained)
Wires the bootstrapping-critical Gitea git host to the Keycloak `homelab` realm
as a native confidential OIDC client, moving it off the local-admin-only login
while keeping the local admin as the break-glass path (docs/15 availability
caveat; R-IDP-02/06).

Realm (source of truth): add the `gitea` confidential client to
platform/keycloak/keycloak-realm-import.yaml (modeled on grafana) + its
GITEA_CLIENT_SECRET placeholder sourced from the keycloak-realm-clients Secret.
NOTE: a KeycloakRealmImport no-ops on an already-existing realm, so the live
client was ALSO created via kcadm (id 70a6ca60-317a-42ce-8331-a60e380838ee);
the YAML keeps git authoritative for a rebuild.

Secrets (SOPS/age, never plaintext): add gitea-client-secret to
platform/keycloak/keycloak-realm-clients.sops.yaml (keycloak ns) and mirror the
same value as oidc-client-secret into apps/wave-0/gitea-bootstrap-secret.sops.yaml
(gitea ns) so the app can read it in-namespace. Both == the live client secret.

App config (catalog source + re-render): catalog/gitea.yaml gains the
GITEA_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET env (from the mirrored Secret), [oauth2_client]
auto-registration/account-linking app.ini env, and an idempotent postStart step
that registers the "keycloak" OAuth2 login source (auto-discovery; groups claim;
platform-admins -> Gitea admin). apps/wave-0/gitea.yaml re-rendered via
`render.py --no-image-automation`.

Verified: realm import Done=True/HasErrors=False and platform-config
Ready=True/Healthy=True (unchanged); edited realm YAML passes server dry-run;
static gate (lint/l0/l1) green. Browser SSO login still needs a human check.

jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 36a1a4e1f9 refactor(apps): split monolithic apps Kustomization into dependency waves
Replaces the single `apps` Flux Kustomization with dependency-ordered waves
(apps-wave-0..2) so a crashlooping workload isolates to its wave + downstream
instead of stalling the entire app tier. Parallel within a wave, ordered across.

- catalog/render.py: compute waves by longest dependency-path depth over the
  ServiceDefinition `dependencies:` edges (a `<svc>-db` is a leaf, so its
  consumer lands strictly higher — the "DB below consumer" rule falls out of
  longest-path, no special case). `--emit-waves` generates the per-wave
  kustomizations + Flux CRs; `--wave-layout` places renders into the right dir.
  wave 0: pihole gitea jackett plex qbittorrent nextcloud-db semaphore-db
  wave 1: sonarr radarr nextcloud semaphore gitea-actions
  wave 2: seerr
- apps/*.yaml -> apps/wave-{0,1,2}/ (byte-identical moves; SOPS files intact).
- clusters/base: apps.yaml removed; apps-wave-{0,1,2}.yaml added (dependsOn
  chain: platform-config -> wave-0 -> wave-1 -> wave-2, prune+wait each).
- clusters/dev: one SOPS decryption patch per wave (load-bearing).
- DESIGN-waves.md: wave table, topology, cutover runbook.

Cutover: preceded by disabling prune on `apps` (1bfb0db) so removing that
object here does not GC its resources; the wave Kustomizations SSA-adopt the
byte-identical manifests in place (no restart, no PVC churn).
