docs: correct CI/platform documentation that was stale, wrong, or load-bearing
The 2026-09-29 session found the merge gate did not exist -- no branch protection, no runner -- while the tree asserted both. This corrects the documents that carried, and in several cases CAUSED, that belief. CLAUDE.md gains section 2b: never infer platform state from this repository. It carries the specific API and kubectl checks for protection, runners, CI status, workloads and Flux revisions, and the rule that a green tick is not proof anything ran (a skipped Gitea job reports success). This is the rule whose absence produced every other finding. .gitea/workflows/README.md and merge-gate.yaml both said "there is no remote git host, this file is dormant". Gitea had been live for weeks. Both were written as plans and never revisited once the plan completed. The Transition section is now marked COMPLETE and says what is genuinely still outstanding (CLUSTER_AVAILABLE unset, so L2/L3 never runs in CI). DECISIONS-LOG 2026-08-31 is annotated IN PLACE. Anyone reading chronologically previously hit "required status check; runner incluster-dind online" with nothing marking it false until a month later. The correction now sits on the bullet itself. ci/README.md, clusters/README.md and both conformance READMEs carry a status banner: they speak as though no cluster exists, which makes a live L2/L3 coverage gap read as an expected phase. That framing is why the gap went unexamined. apps/wave-1/gitea-actions-runner-secret.sops.yaml: fixed a wrong path, replaced advice to `sops -d` into a terminal (which CLAUDE.md forbids) with the rotation script, and recorded that a fresh token alone does not re-register a runner holding a stale /data/.runner. apps/wave-0/plex-claim-secret.sops.yaml: the header claimed the file ships the placeholder. It has not since the claim -- it holds the spent token, which is inert and deliberately left in place. catalog/plex.yaml and the plex secret both asserted a "~4-minute TTL" as fact. It was uncited, upstream documents no expiry, and it was the basis for a since-disproven claim that the pipeline was too slow to fit inside it. Measured: ~2m45s. Both .sops.yaml files were verified to still decrypt after the comment edits (`sops -d > /dev/null`), and render==golden confirms the catalog comment does not propagate into the rendered manifest.

fix(ci): declare whole-repo scope instead of hand-writing a gate stage per invariant
R-TEST-03 runs the conformance subset a change TOUCHES. That has one blind spot, and it
is the worst-shaped kind: an invariant that quantifies over the whole tracked tree — or
over subtrees ci/touched-requirements.sh's coarse path map keys to NOTHING (apps/, infra/,
most of platform/) — cannot be selected BY the requirements a change touches, because the
change most likely to break it attributes no requirement at all. Requirement-scoped
selection then filters the check out of exactly that change.
The repo's answer had been a hand-written "UNCONDITIONAL" stage per such check in
ci/l0.sh: 3c flux-postbuild-substitution, 3d keycloak-client-secret-reconciler, 3e
bulk-tier-distinct-from-replicated. Three near-identical 12-line rationales, three
hardcoded check.sh paths, three copies of the same rc 0/3/* case block — and worst, a
mechanism that failed SILENTLY, because whoever added the NEXT whole-repo invariant had
to REMEMBER to write a stage, and if they forgot the check ran only when some unrelated
requirement happened to be touched.
A test now DECLARES the scope of its invariant and the runner enforces it:
metadata:
annotations:
conformance.home.k3s/scope: "whole-repo"
* conformance/lib/common.sh conf_dirs_for_scope(s) resolves the annotation. Carries the
general rationale, once, instead of per stage.
* conformance/run.sh --include-scope SCOPE unions declaring tests into select_dirs,
still bounded by --layer. New --print-selection resolves the
selection and exits, running nothing.
* lib/run_l1_offline.py --unwired-scope: a SKIP of a declaring test exits 3, not 0.
--summary-out: one step-summary line per executed check.
* ci/l0.sh Stage 3b gains --include-scope whole-repo and an rc-3 arm.
Stages 3c/3d/3e DELETED (-150 lines).
* ci/l1.sh, ci/conformance.sh pass --include-scope too, so the next whole-repo invariant
at ANY layer needs only the annotation.
rc 3 SEMANTICS PRESERVED EXACTLY. A whole-repo check reporting "nothing to audit" is
reporting that the tree it audits has VANISHED. The deleted stages called that "not a
pass" and set the gate's rc=3; the runner now returns 3 and ci/l0.sh maps it to rc=3.
A missing check file still degrades to not-green, never to silence.
THE REASONING WAS RELOCATED, NOT DELETED. Each stage's incident narrative moved into the
header of the test it describes, beside its scope annotation: the Cilium k8sServiceHost
empty-substitution CNI outage (2026-09-01), 12 unusable Keycloak clients behind a green
cluster (2026-09-06), and a multi-TB bulk volume landing on the 3-replica tier.
AUDITED ALL 13 EXISTING l0-static TESTS, individually. 10 declare whole-repo scope; 3 are
DELIBERATELY left requirement-scoped and say so in their own headers:
* placeholder-guard-coupling — inputs are bootstrap/ + clusters/, both already mapped to
a requirement it declares. Scoping cannot hide a breaking change.
* dev-nodes-provisioned-as-code — inputs are infra/ and nothing else.
* spec-immutability-enforced — inputs are ci/ and the read-only spec repo.
The latter two were nonetheless under-gated because the PATH MAP was incomplete, which is
the right place to fix a path-scoped invariant: infra/* -> R-ENV-01 added, and R-TEST-06
added to .gitea/*|ci/* (it is no longer an uncovered ID — spec-immutability-enforced
carries the label, so attributing it no longer false-blocks the coverage gate).
NEW conformance/tests/l0-static/whole-repo-invariants-wired (R-TEST-03) keeps the
declarative mechanism honest for ALL declaring tests at once, replacing the three tests'
individual "ci/l0.sh greps my own check.sh path" self-assertions. It proves the union
EMPIRICALLY: with a requirement filter matching no test the L0 selection is empty, and
with --include-scope it is every declaring test; a scope-declared synthetic SKIP exits 3
while an undeclared one exits 0; and a ci/*.sh that hardcodes a check.sh path must belong
to a test that also declares the scope, so the bespoke pattern cannot creep back.
TASK 2 — a changed test attributes the requirements it CERTIFIES.
ci/touched-requirements.sh gains detection rule 3: a change anywhere under
conformance/tests/<test>/ attributes that test's own conformance.home.k3s/R-* labels, read
from its chainsaw-test.yaml. The content scan could not close this — it reads only
added/removed lines, so it sees a change to the LABEL BLOCK but not to the test BODY,
which is exactly the case that matters. Labels are read from HEAD or, failing that, from
the BASE, so DELETING a test still attributes what it used to certify; otherwise removing
the only verifier of a requirement is the cheapest way to make the gate stop checking it.
Whole-line `#` comments are dropped first and *.md is untouched, honouring the existing
"reference, not declaration" rules.
Both changes are fail-closed: every one of them can only ADD tests or requirements to a
run, never remove one.
TESTS: new ci/tests/touched-requirements-test-attribution.test.sh (15 assertions) covers
rule 3 — body-only edit, nested-fixture walk-up, test deletion, header-comment R-IDs not
attributed, non-test paths unaffected, and both new path-map entries. The two existing
suites still pass (39 assertions). `make -C ci test` runs all three.

feat(conformance): committed run ledger — the only thing that can move PROVEN off zero
status.py has always reported PROVEN: 0 for all 51 requirements, and named the fix in its
own header: "a committed, machine-readable run ledger". There was none — _artifacts/ is
gitignored, the root .gitignore kills *.junit.xml, and a stray JUnit was surfaced only as
a quarantined mtime advisory. Built BEFORE the first real L3 execution so that run is
captured rather than reconstructed from memory.
THE TRAP THIS EXISTS TO AVOID. These tests exit 0 and Chainsaw records `passed` on a
SELF-SKIP exactly as on a real run, and Chainsaw's JUnit carries no stdout — only
properties. So committing the JUnit as proof would let DR_RESTORE_SKIPPED_OK be recorded
as proof of R-STATE-03: authoritative-looking and wrong, which is worse than no ledger.
The sentinel token is the ONLY thing distinguishing proven from skipped, and it lives
solely in the run log. The ledger therefore records the LOG alongside the JUnit and
derives proof from the sentinel, never from the JUnit result.
Sentinel tokens are DERIVED, not hand-listed: record_run.py parses every
contains($stdout,'TOKEN') out of each test's own chainsaw-test.yaml, so the list cannot
drift from the tests. 23 of 35 tests declare no sentinel at all.
decide() is the single place `proven` is emitted, ordered WORST-FIRST:
JUnit failure/error -> failed
JUnit <skipped/> -> junit-skipped
ANY declared skip token in the log -> skipped (beats a green JUnit AND beats a pass
token present in the same log)
no sentinel declared -> proven ONLY for L0/L1 (whose JUnit is truthful on its own, since
run_l1_offline.py maps exit 3 to <skipped/>); written as an
explicit exempt-set so an unknown/blank layer fails CLOSED
EVERY declared pass token present -> proven
otherwise -> unknown-sentinel-absent
Log attribution is a state machine over Chainsaw's per-test headers; a log with no
recognisable header falls back to whole-log scanning restricted to GLOBALLY-UNIQUE tokens,
so DNS_OK (owned by two tests) can never prove either. record_run.py exits 3 if the JUnit
or the log is missing — nothing recorded, never green.
STALENESS: a proven row is honoured only while `git merge-base --is-ancestor` holds
between the requirement's last implementing/test change and the row's git_sha; otherwise
it degrades to stale-proof. A -dirty sha, an unknown rev, or an uncommitted test path all
fail ancestry the same way. A requirement reads proven only when EVERY verifying test
does (worst-of), and the latest row per test wins — not best-ever.
REFUSAL POSTURE PRESERVED: with an empty ledger the report is unchanged in intent — every
requirement not-derivable, headline "PROVEN: 0 — NOT DERIVABLE". This replaces "not
derivable" with real evidence only where evidence exists, never with optimism.
--record is explicit, never implicit (a run that silently records itself is how a bad run
becomes permanent false proof), is rejected for --status/--coverage-only/--lint, and
re-execs under tee returning ${PIPESTATUS[0]} so recording can never soften a gate. It
rm -f's a stale _artifacts/report.junit.xml first — a hazard hit live during development,
where a stale JUnit got paired with a fresh log.
Selftests: record_run.py 23 checks (incl. end-to-end Chainsaw-passed + NODE_LOSS_SKIPPED_OK
-> proof "skipped"), status.py +16 against a throwaway git repo (self-skip -> skipped;
proven-at-older-sha -> stale-proof; dirty/unresolvable -> stale-proof; worst-of;
latest-row-wins; malformed lines dropped). No regressions: --coverage-only, --status,
--lint, --strict-coverage and the merge-gate shape all rc=0 and unchanged; nothing in ci/
references status.py.
Root .gitignore needed no change — conformance/runs/ is not itself excluded, so the deeper
negations override the root's global *.junit.xml. Verified with git check-ignore.
Serves: R-TEST-01, R-TEST-02, R-TEST-03, R-TEST-04.

feat(conformance): repo-derived spec status report (conformance/run.sh --status)
Operator ruling: "I care about the state of the repository and what the status of each spec is based on that state" — not a hand-maintained task board. This is that report. conformance/lib/status.py (stdlib-only, --selftest) sits beside lib/coverage.py and IMPORTS it rather than forking the registry/test parsers. Driven by a new `conformance/run.sh --status`; artifacts land in _artifacts/status/ alongside coverage and are git-ignored by the existing convention. Exit codes follow ci/lib.sh (0/1/3); --strict-coverage also applies the status hygiene gate. Signals derived per requirement: is there an implementing artifact; is it RECONCILED (walk resources: from clusters/dev, expand each Flux Kustomization's spec.path, recurse — so a commented-out resource correctly does not count); is there a tagged test and is its body executable or a TODO scaffold (TODO markers OUTRANK an executable: "true" annotation — ambiguity never upgrades a row). DELIBERATELY NOT DERIVED, and reported as such rather than defaulting to green: proof-of-pass (nothing tracked in git records a run result — _artifacts/ and results/ are git-ignored) and cluster liveness. "Reconciled" means Flux WOULD apply it, not that it is healthy. PROVEN is reported as "not derivable" for all 51. WHAT IT SHOWS THAT coverage.md DOES NOT. Coverage reports 37/51 covered, 0 safety-critical gaps. Three of those claims do not survive repo state: 1. 5 of the 37 "covered" requirements have only a TODO-body scaffold (R-STATE-03, R-OBS-02, R-OBS-04, R-GITOPS-03, R-GITOPS-02). Coverage counts a tagged file; it never looks inside it. 2. R-STATE-03 is SAFETY-CRITICAL and its L3 fault test asserts nothing. Coverage reports "0 safety-critical gaps" only because dr-restore/chainsaw-test.yaml exists and carries an L3 label. --strict now fails on this. 3. R-UPD-01/02/03 are NOT reconciled: platform/image-automation/ is commented out of platform/kustomization.yaml. Coverage shows them covered with executable L3 tests, which reads as delivered; automated updates are actually 0/3 wired+testable. Headline: 51 requirements | reconciled 20 (+12 partial) | executable test 32 | wired+testable 22 (+8 partial) | scaffold-only 5 | PROVEN 0 (not derivable). Also surfaces 18 requirements with no reconciled manifest citing their R-ID — listed as a traceability gap (R-TEST-04) rather than guessed either way. Annotating those manifests makes the report self-correct, so it acts as a forcing function instead of another hand-maintained map. Serves: R-TEST-01..06. Gate: MERGE GATE: PASS.

test(conformance): add L3 node-loss test for R-STATE-02 (Longhorn node-loss resilience)
R-STATE-02 was the last safety-critical requirement with no verifying test,
exempted via DOCUMENTED_GAPS. Author the L3 fault-injection test that proves the
guarantee and remove the exemption.
tests/l3-fault-injection/node-loss/chainsaw-test.yaml:
GIVEN a 3-replica Longhorn volume with written data attached on node N,
WHEN N is removed from service (cordon + evict the attached workload, forcing
the volume to detach from N),
THEN a fresh workload on a SURVIVING node re-attaches the same volume and reads
the canary intact — volume stays available, cluster reconverges.
Safe-by-construction for the 3-node embedded-etcd dev cluster:
- Disruption scoped to EXACTLY ONE node, at the scheduling layer only (cordon +
evict our own pod). kubelet/etcd stay up — etcd quorum is never touched.
- Never `kubectl drain`; only our own writer pod is deleted, so no unrelated or
system pod is disturbed.
- Victim node labelled conformance.home.k3s/cordoned-by=<test-ns>; `finally`
ALWAYS uncordons every node with THAT label and removes it — restored even on
failure/timeout, and never touches an operator-cordoned node.
- Self-skips green until a longhorn StorageClass AND >= 3 Ready nodes exist.
Bookkeeping:
- run.sh: remove R-STATE-02 from DOCUMENTED_GAPS; add node-loss to CONF_HEAVY_TESTS
(serial pass, matches the other Longhorn/KubeVirt L3 tests).
- incluster/rbac.yaml: enable the scoped nodes get/list/patch rule the test needs
(cordon/uncordon/label); no eviction rights (no drain).
- README.md / coverage.py docstring: refresh the documented-gap example.
Coverage: 36/51 -> 37/51 (70.6% -> 72.5%); safety-critical gaps 1 -> 0. Only
R-STATE-02 changed ([] -> node-loss); no other requirement or golden touched.
NOTE: LIVE execution is DEFERRED to an operator-chosen maintenance window. This
change AUTHORS + statically validates the test (renders, chainsaw-lints, harness
selects it, coverage updates). The static gate runs L2/L3 as SKIP without a
cluster (expected). The node-disruption test was NOT run live.
