The in-cluster Gluetun gateway is retired; VPN egress is now a node-level host
OpenVPN split-tunnel (Ansible role vpn_egress_gateway) steered by a Cilium
Egress Gateway policy with a host nftables kill-switch (ADR-0015). Credentials
moved host-side to the Ansible vault. Update docs/comments only:
- platform/vpn-egress/README.md: rewrite for ADR-0015 (live + conformance-green);
drop the resolved "option 1 not viable with Gluetun" finding to a brief history note.
- platform/kustomization.yaml: Phase 3 comment -> node tunnel + Cilium steering.
- platform/kyverno/.../require-egress-class-label.yaml: ADR-0013 -> ADR-0015 steering.
- schemas/servicedefinition.schema.json: egress=vpn description -> node tunnel + Cilium.
- clusters/base/cluster-vars.yaml: reframe PIA_REGION / CLUSTER_POD_CIDR WHY comments
to ADR-0015 (Cilium excludedCIDRs); both keys retained (still referenced/documented).
- platform/vpn-egress/namespace.yaml: no privileged gateway pod under ADR-0015.
- pia-credentials.sops.yaml / pia-custom-ovpn.sops.yaml: comment headers only note
they are now UNUSED (creds host-side), retained pending cleanup; payloads untouched.
No runtime manifest behavior, alert exprs, kustomization resources, or SOPS payloads
changed. No spec-repo edits.

Prep only — nothing deployed; running cluster untouched.
Reconciliation graph (operator-approved Option A): author clusters/dev/rollout/
= 4 per-component Flux Kustomizations (kyverno->cilium->longhorn->monitoring,
monitoring dependsOn longhorn). Dev overlay $patch:delete's the monolithic base
platform/apps and adds ./rollout, so only the no-secret tier reconciles; the
secret-blocked components are simply not created until hand-offs arrive. The
no-secret tier carries no SOPS content, so it needs no sops-age key. prod is
untouched (still builds the monolith). Convergence path coded in (delete rollout/
+ the two deletes) — R-ENV-02 divergence flagged for architect review.
Component hardening via cluster-vars (prod keeps strict posture):
- KYVERNO_VALIDATION_ACTION Enforce->Audit(dev), _WEBHOOK_FAILURE_POLICY
Fail->Ignore(dev), _ADMISSION_REPLICAS 3->1(dev); webhook namespaceSelector
excludes system+platform namespaces.
- MONITORING_STORAGE_CLASS var; GRAFANA_ADMIN_SECRET var (dev ''=chart default);
Alertmanager SMTP/secret deferred to Phase-4 with verbatim re-enable markers.
Cilium parity verified against the live CNI (no-op adopt). Validated:
kubectl kustomize dev/prod/all-components, envsubst->YAML parse, make -C ci gate PASS.
