jakman85andClaude Opus 5 e72050c690 docs: correct CI/platform documentation that was stale, wrong, or load-bearing
gate / gate (push) Successful in 1m37s
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m36s
gate / conformance (push) Has been skipped
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped
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.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 234cc6a71a docs(gitea): a skipped job reports SUCCESS, not pending -- correct the deadlock claim
gate / gate (push) Successful in 1m33s
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m32s
gate / conformance (push) Has been skipped
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped
The runner came up on 2026-09-29 and the first CI jobs this repo has ever run went
green, which falsified a claim merged in #2.

MEASURED:
  gate / gate (pull_request)          success   1m58s (PR 1), 1m34s (PR 2)
  gate / gate (push)                  success   1m32s (PR 2 only)
  gate / conformance (pull_request)   success   "Has been skipped"

#2 said listing the conformance context as a required check would deadlock every PR,
because the job is `if: false` and never runs. That is wrong. Gitea reports a skipped
job as SUCCESS. Requiring it would not deadlock anything -- it would pass VACUOUSLY,
forever, while nothing ran.

The conclusion is unchanged (never require it) but the reason inverts, and the corrected
reason matters more: under HARD RULE 4 a permanently-green check that verifies nothing is
worse than a deadlock. A deadlock is loud. This is the exact fail-open shape the
2026-09-18 audit and this one both keep finding.

Also records that the (push) contexts only appear for branches matching gate.yml's push
trigger -- feature/**, fix/**, docs/**, chore/** -- and NOT feat/**, which is why PR 1's
feat/ branch produced only pull_request contexts. Require the pull_request context alone,
or PRs from non-matching prefixes never satisfy the rule.

CLAUDE.md's enforcement table is updated: the runner half is genuinely fixed and observed
green, the branch-protection half is not. Adds the warning that a green tick is not by
itself evidence that anything ran.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 5a9e455149 docs: delivery contract for agents + record that the merge gate does not exist
gate / gate (push) Has been cancelled
gate / conformance (push) Has been cancelled
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m33s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped
Going to land the plex claim wiring through the documented PR flow surfaced that
the flow has never run. PR #1 is the first pull request this repo has ever had.

Verified against the live Gitea, not inferred from the docs:
  * branch_protections is [] -- main is protected:false, enable_status_check:false,
    status_check_contexts:[], required_approvals:0, user_can_push:true
  * ZERO Actions runners registered at repo, org and site level

DECISIONS-LOG 2026-08-31 asserts a "required status check" and a runner
"incluster-dind online". Both are false of the live system. The gate is neither
enforced nor able to run, and that went unnoticed because the log claimed
otherwise -- the same fail-open class as the two holes found on 2026-09-18.

Adds CLAUDE.md, the first agent-facing delivery doc here: the
branch -> PR -> gate -> approval -> merge rule, stated alongside the honest fact
that enforcement is currently weaker than the rule, so agents follow the rule
rather than what they can get away with. Carries the toolbox gate invocation, the
two git-worktree workarounds, the rc 0/1/3 contract, and secret handling.

Records the ordering trap: enabling a required status check before a runner exists
deadlocks every PR permanently, including the one that would fix it.
