A service that reads this repository's Gitea issues, decides what to do about each
thread as the Program Manager persona, and runs one worker agent per assignment that
authors a change, runs the merge gate and opens a pull request. It reacts to issue
creation and to comments; the assignment and all correspondence travel through the
issue thread and the PR. It authenticates with an Anthropic subscription token. It
never pushes to main and never merges.
Three choices carry the design, with alternatives recorded in docs/plans/:
- it POLLS rather than receiving webhooks (Gitea's webhook SSRF guard, lost
deliveries, and no inbound reach needed at all);
- it keeps NO state: the trigger is "the newest thing in this thread was not
written by me", so the issue thread is the state — no PVC, no backup obligation;
- the model holds NO tools: its reply is one JSON object this code validates, so
nothing in the path executes text.
The boundary is platform/kyverno/admission/pm-agent-job-shape.yaml (Enforce,
failurePolicy: Fail), not the RBAC: Kubernetes places no `use` check on
serviceAccountName, so "may create Jobs" is "may run arbitrary code as the
namespace's most privileged identity". Six rules admit only the committed shape, and
the worker identity is bound to nothing with no token mounted, so there is nothing to
escalate to. 28/28 offline Kyverno assertions.
Nothing has run: the image has never been built or pushed, and both the image digest
and the two credentials are deliberate placeholders. See the handoff entry's
"What I did NOT verify".

PR #13 added conformance-trigger-job-shape.yaml to platform/kyverno/admission/
kustomization.yaml. That file applies NOTHING. Its own sibling says so: "kept as
reference; THIS file is the buildable render root" -- and that render root
(platform/kyverno/kustomization.yaml) ships only the namespace and the HelmRelease,
noting that ClusterPolicies are applied a tier later, by platform-config, because they
need the Kyverno CRDs first.
So three lists exist and only platform-config/kustomization.yaml applies anything. The
policy went into the wrong one and EVERYTHING WENT GREEN: the file parsed, kyverno test
exercised it by path and passed, the merge gate passed, and Flux reported `platform`
Ready at the new revision. Measured on prod afterwards:
kubectl get clusterpolicy conformance-trigger-job-shape
Error from server (NotFound)
while ns conformance, the conformance-trigger ServiceAccount, its Role and its
RoleBinding were all live. That is exactly the state that identity's own RBAC header
says must never exist -- the trigger identity present with nothing bounding it. Blast
radius was small only because no trigger kubeconfig exists yet, which is luck, not design.
Wires the policy into platform-config (verified: the render goes from 7 ClusterPolicies to
8 and contains conformance-trigger-job-shape).
CLOSES THE CLASS, which matters more than the instance. Adds the L0 check
admission-policies-actually-applied: every ClusterPolicy file under platform/kyverno/ is
either referenced by platform-config/kustomization.yaml or named in a CI_ONLY list with a
reason -- and CI_ONLY may not name a policy that IS applied, so the exemption cannot rot in
either direction. Declared scope whole-repo deliberately: a policy wired nowhere touches no
requirement the diff attributes, so a path-scoped run would have skipped it on the exact
commit that introduced the defect.
Proven both ways, not assumed:
with the fix reverted -> FAIL, naming conformance-trigger-job-shape as never applied
with the fix -> PASS, 9 policy files, 8 applied, 1 CI-only with a reason
`kyverno test` proves a policy is CORRECT. This proves it is DEPLOYED. Nothing did before.

kube-prometheus-stack does not scrape flux-system: the controllers are
bootstrapped, expose no Service, and no chart value covers them. So every
gotk_* alert rule in platform/monitoring/alerts.yaml could never fire —
verified on prod, count({__name__=~"gotk.*"}) returned nothing. A repo whose
entire delivery model is Flux had no alerting on reconciliation failing, a
Kustomization erroring, or a resource left suspended.
Proven live before landing: with this PodMonitor applied, gotk_suspend_status
returns 39 series and gotk_reconcile_condition 117, and FluxResourceSuspended
actually fired on a deliberate test suspension — evidence the rule is live,
not merely present.
Extracted from the wider inert-alert audit on
fix/scrape-targets-for-inert-alerts, which stalled unfinished. This is the
self-contained, verified half; Longhorn and cert-manager metrics are still
ABSENT and their alerts remain inert. It also adopts the object into git: it
existed on prod only as kubectl-client-side-apply, so a rebuild would have
lost it.

The realm import is a one-shot: once Done=True it never re-runs, so a redirect URI
changed in git never reaches the realm. Healing that needs a DESIRED STATE the
reconciler can read -- and the reconciler pod has no Kubernetes API access at all
(automountServiceAccountToken: false), so it cannot read the KeycloakRealmImport CR.
Its desired state must be mounted, hence a ConfigMap.
A hand-authored ConfigMap would be a second source of truth for every public
hostname in the realm, free to disagree with the import -- the same shape as the bug
being closed. So it is GENERATED from the import and the render is gated, the same
render==golden idiom catalog/render.py already uses for apps/.
URL strings are copied VERBATIM: a ${BASE_DOMAIN} token in the source appears
unchanged here, and both files are rendered by the SAME Flux Kustomization
(./platform-config), so both are substituted in one pass with one value. The
renderer never parses a hostname and never reads cluster-vars, so there is no
second place the domain can be decided.

Minimal prod delivery, authored directly on main (= prod's live revision d1a6628)
rather than by merging work/prod-standup-campaign. That branch carries the DNS apex
inversion, which would have set prod's BASE_DOMAIN to home.keithjackson.dev; prod
runs external-dns with policy: sync and txtOwnerId: prod, so it would have begun
rewriting apex records dev owns while the non-k3s prod still serves 443 there.
Operator sequencing is "dev migrates first". Nothing under clusters/ is touched
here at all, which is what makes this safe to land now.
Also deliberately EXCLUDED, because prod's live cluster-vars has no CNPG_BACKUP_PATH
key and StrictPostBuildSubstitutions would fail the whole tier: the R2 rework of
platform/velero/ and the CNPG destinationPath changes. Those land as
feat/r2-backup-prod together with the endpoint and bucket knobs.
WHAT THIS FIXES
1. Nothing was watching CNPG. All three prod databases have run since bootstrap with
ContinuousArchiving=False and firstRecoverabilityPoint=null, and no alert existed
anywhere. Because archive_mode=on and the archive command fails, Postgres refuses
to recycle WAL: keycloak-db holds every segment ever written (257 MiB on a 5 GiB
volume, ~6.8 MiB/h) — roughly 29 days to a disk-full PANIC on the cluster's SSO
database. Found by hand, 38h late. CNPGWALArchiveBacklog would have fired within
the hour, and evaluates to 3 firing series on prod today.
Rules key on cnpg_collector_* rather than cnpg_pg_stat_archiver_*, because
nextcloud-db's exporter cannot log in to its own database (permission denied for
database "nextcloud", both clusters) so the pg_stat_archiver family does not exist
for it — the obvious metric would have been blind to one database in three.
2. No PVC outside namespace=monitoring had any fill alert. New rules are partitioned
by namespace so they cannot double-fire with MonitoringVolumeFillingUp, pinned to
job="kubelet" (the apiserver copy of the same series reports namespace=default),
and guarded by inodes > 0 — block-mode PVCs such as unifi-rootdisk report
available=0 forever and would otherwise have fired critical permanently.
3. VPNTunnelDown could never clear on a cluster with no gateway node; it has been
firing critical on prod since 2026-09-05. Now guarded so prod self-arms the moment
a node carries the egress-gateway label, with dev's behaviour unchanged today.
4. The Keycloak realm import fails OPEN: an unresolved placeholder is stored
LITERALLY and the import still reports success, then sits at Done=True and never
re-runs. On 2026-09-06 all 12 prod OIDC clients held the literal
$(env:..._CLIENT_SECRET) string and every SSO login failed, while every signal was
green. The CronJob is the level-triggered correction; two alerts make its silence
observable. Repaired live already — this stops it recurring.
Also: the R-NET-04 conformance scan descended into nested agent worktrees under
.claude/, counting 4 egress policies where 1 is authored.

Prod's UniFi VM has no disk. `DataVolume unifi/unifi-rootdisk` stuck in
ImportScheduled for hours, because Kyverno denied CDI's own generated pod:
validate.kyverno.svc-fail denied Pod/unifi/importer-prime-<uid>
require-auth-mode-label (R-IDP-02)
require-egress-class-label (R-NET-05)
Both policies match any Pod in an `app-namespace: "true"` namespace with no
exclusion, and CDI generates `importer-*` itself — it cannot carry repo labels.
A COLD-START defect, not a prod quirk: dev's identical import Succeeded 9 days
ago, before the policies enforced, so dev has never exercised it and would hit it
on any rebuild. Fourth bug of this shape in two days.
MECHANISM: a MUTATE ClusterPolicy that ADDS
`egress-class: internet` + `auth-mode: none` (add-if-absent anchor) to Pods on
CREATE in app namespaces WHEN the requesting subject is ServiceAccount
`cdi/cdi-sa`. Both validate policies are untouched — no exclude, no exception,
`background: true` preserved on them.
Why mutate beats exempting: the requirement stays literally true ("every pod in an
app namespace declares both labels") and the values are HONEST — the importer does
pull over the default WAN path, and `internet` is the least-reach class (it does
not grant the VPN path); a transient worker pod with no UI genuinely is
`auth-mode: none`.
THE MATCH IS IDENTITY, NOT A NAME. `subjects: ServiceAccount cdi/cdi-sa` is the
AdmissionReview userInfo, taken from the real prod denial
(`system:serviceaccount:cdi:cdi-sa`, name importer-prime-…, op CREATE). A name
prefix is attacker-choosable; a requesting ServiceAccount is not — and the test
proves it, with a fixture `importer-prime-forged-by-an-app` that copies both the
name prefix AND CDI's labels and is still DENIED. Covers every CDI worker kind
(importer/uploader/cloner) without enumerating names that change per release.
Confirmed on prod that cdi-sa is the only cdi-namespace SA that can create pods.
REJECTED, and the first one is a trap worth recording:
* PolicyException — the CRD EXISTS (v2/v2beta1, from the pre-applied bundle) but
all controllers run `--enablePolicyException=false` (verified live on prod:
admission, background and reports controllers all carry the flag). An exception
would apply cleanly through Flux and be SILENTLY IGNORED. Enabling the gate is a
cluster-wide capability change for no gain over the mutate.
* `exclude` scoped to cdi-sa — sound identity, worse consequences: any userInfo
match forces `background: false`, which would drop background scanning and
policy-report coverage of R-NET-05/R-IDP-02 for ALL EXISTING PODS to fix one pod
class. It also leaves the importer with no labels at all — the unlabelled
fall-through that require-egress-class-label's own header calls a fail-open leak.
* name-prefix / CDI-label matching — attacker-choosable, and proven walkable.
TWO-WAY PROOF, non-vacuous by construction — same resource, different requester,
opposite outcomes (verified by me, not just reported):
userinfo cdi-sa -> mutate pass, require-egress-class pass, require-auth-mode pass
userinfo ordinary -> mutate SKIP, require-egress-class FAIL, require-auth-mode FAIL
Kyverno L0 went 17 -> 29 tests passed, 0 failed. The mutate policy is deliberately
kept OUT of the existing tests/kyverno-test.yaml: that suite declares no userinfo,
and without userinfo the offline engine does not discriminate on subjects — it
mutates everything, which would have silently turned its negative rows into passes.
platform-config/kustomization.yaml is the live apply path for these ClusterPolicies;
without it the policy never reaches a cluster.
RESIDUAL TRADE-OFF, reversible by deleting one file: anything created by cdi-sa in
an app namespace now has these labels supplied rather than being rejected for not
declaring them — including a pod that is not a CDI worker. That identity already
holds `pods create/delete` cluster-wide via ClusterRole `cdi`, so it is not a new
capability; what changes is that for that one identity the declaration is assumed
rather than demanded. restrict-host-namespaces, the namespace default-deny baseline
and the CiliumNetworkPolicies all still apply.
FIRST resource-mutating policy on this cluster: kyverno-resource-mutating-webhook-cfg
holds 0 webhooks today; with autoUpdateWebhooks=true Kyverno registers
mutate.kyverno.svc-fail for Pods within seconds of this applying. Prod's
forceFailurePolicyIgnore=false makes it failurePolicy: Fail — same posture as the
validating webhook already in that path.
CDI retries importer creation on a loop, so the stuck import should proceed once
this lands. The detached prime-be3f9d1c-… 40 GiB scratch PVC is separate operator
cleanup; untouched, as is the DataVolume.
VERIFIED: full CI gate PASS. Nothing applied to any cluster.

`platform-config` applied the CDI CR *and* cdi-storageprofiles.yaml in ONE pass.
StorageProfile's CRD does not exist until cdi-operator reconciles that CR, and
Flux server-side dry-runs every object before applying any — so the unknown kind
aborted the tier, the CR was never applied, the CRD was never created, and the
tier could NEVER converge. Observed on prod: cdi-operator Available 12h, no CDI
CR, no storageprofiles CRD, every downstream tier blocked.
The profiles now live in their own tier ./platform-config-cdi with
dependsOn: platform-config and wait: true. Because dependsOn is REVISION-gated
and platform-config runs wait: true, the CDI CR must be applied AND healthy —
exactly the event that creates the CRD — before the profiles are applied. Cold
clusters order themselves. `standup.sh crds` is retained as a fallback for
clusters already stuck, and because it is idempotent.
THE GENERALISABLE RULE (recorded in clusters/README.md): a CR whose CRD is
created by a CONTROLLER AT RUNTIME is second-order and needs its own pass.
cdi-operator.yaml registers exactly ONE CRD (cdis.cdi.kubevirt.io); storageprofiles,
datavolumes, datasources and dataimportcrons appear only after it reconciles the
CDI CR. An audit found StorageProfile is the only second-order kind in
platform-config — KubeVirt, CDI, KeycloakRealmImport, CNPG Cluster,
VolumeSnapshotClass, ClusterIssuer, PrometheusRule, ServiceMonitor and the Cilium
L2 CRs all have their CRD in git or in a chart.
Moving the CDI CR up into `platform` was rejected: that would put CDI's health on
the tier the CNI gates and everything waits on — the mistake the oauth2-proxy and
headlamp splits exist to undo.
apps-vms gains dependsOn: platform-config-cdi. LOAD-BEARING, not cosmetic:
apps/vms/unifi/20-datavolume.yaml provisions on storageClassName: longhorn-vm and
its comment claimed platform-config guaranteed the profiles — which this move
would have silently falsified.
THE PRUNE TRANSIENT, MEASURED RATHER THAN ASSUMED. platform-config has
prune: true, so it deletes both profiles once, CDI recreates them with empty spec,
and the new tier re-applies the overrides ~30-60s later. Compared our override
against CDI's unaided inference for the same Longhorn provisioner on dev:
longhorn-vm (we override) spec RWX/Block -> status ReadWriteMany/Block
longhorn-static (no override) spec unset -> status ReadWriteOnce/Block
Both infer cloneStrategy: snapshot. So cloneStrategy is NOT at risk; accessModes
IS — unaided CDI gives RWO. A DataVolume provisioned on longhorn-vm inside the
window would be stamped RWO/Block and be PERMANENTLY non-live-migratable. Flux can
no longer cause it (apps-vms gates on the new tier); a human must not do it by hand.
Corroborating evidence that the recreate happens at all: dev has 5 StorageClasses
and 5 StorageProfiles, three with fluxOwner=NONE, spec unset and status populated
— CDI creating and inferring them with no Flux involvement.
MERGE PRECONDITION: `flux get kustomization platform-config` must be Ready on the
target first. If it is not, the profiles are pruned and sit at CDI defaults until
it recovers — and prod was in that state hours earlier. Fallback is the two-step
the Cilium move used (merge with prune: false, verify the ownership label moved,
restore prune: true).
substituteFrom: cluster-vars is declared even though the manifest has no ${TOKEN},
deliberately: conformance/tests/l0-static/flux-postbuild-substitution only audits
paths whose Kustomization declares it, so omitting it would move the file OUT of
the audited set — a blind spot for a future literal-token ship. Gate confirms it
stayed in (path=./platform-config-cdi files=2 defined=0 hazards=0). No SOPS
decryption stanza: the moved file is two plain CRs, so no overlay change was needed.
VERIFIED INDEPENDENTLY OF THE AGENT: platform-config renders 0 StorageProfile
while keeping the CDI and KubeVirt CRs; platform-config-cdi renders exactly the
two profiles; the graph is byte-identical across dev and prod with apps-vms
carrying both edges and no cycle. Full CI gate PASS.
KNOWN FOLLOW-UP: bootstrap/standup.sh TIER_ORDER does not yet include
platform-config-cdi, so `resume` will not wait on it. Another agent holds that
file; the PM will add it.

R-ENV-02 promises dev and prod differ ONLY by scoped cluster-vars overrides. In fact
dev LAN addresses were hardcoded into base manifests, so clusters/prod would have come
up ANNOUNCING DEV ADDRESSES (192.168.1.x) on the prod LAN (192.168.2.x).
New cluster-vars knobs (base default = dev literal, per the file's existing convention):
K3S_API_HOST platform/cilium/helmrelease.yaml (+ the values.yaml mirror)
CILIUM_LB_POOL_START platform-config/cilium/l2-ip-pool.yaml
CILIUM_LB_POOL_STOP "
UNIFI_L4_VIP apps/vms/unifi/50-service-l4.yaml
CRAFTY_L4_VIP platform/crafty/service-l4.yaml
S3_BACKUP_ENDPOINT platform/keycloak/postgres-cluster.yaml, apps/wave-0/{nextcloud,
semaphore}-db.yaml, and platform/velero/helmrelease.yaml
Also fixes GATEWAY_VIP's base default, which was still the RETIRED libvirt address
10.73.0.240, and adds the GATEWAY_VIP patch that clusters/prod was missing entirely.
clusters/base/apps-vms.yaml gains postBuild.substituteFrom (it was the one consuming
Kustomization without it, so a ${TOKEN} there would have shipped as a literal string).
The envsubst contract is documented there: ${VAR} substitutes and escapes as $${VAR};
$VAR and $(cmd) are left alone; ${ARR[0]} hard-errors. The three UOS_URL expansions in
the unifi cloud-init are escaped accordingly.
PROD ADDRESS PLAN (operator, 2026-08-31):
nodes .10/.11/.12 · control-plane VIP .9 (Ansible-side) · GATEWAY_VIP .20
Cilium LB pool .20-.30
CONTAINMENT INVARIANT, now documented at the pool and in the prod overlay: GATEWAY_VIP
MUST equal CILIUM_LB_POOL_START. The shared Gateway pins no address, so Cilium LB-IPAM
gives it the first free address of a matching pool block. An initial prod proposal put
.20 outside a .21-.30 pool; the Gateway would have come up on .21 while split-horizon
coredns-custom kept answering *.home.keithjackson.dev with .20 — an address nothing
announces — blackholing in-cluster OIDC hairpin traffic while reporting healthy. The
pool was widened to .20-.30. The control-plane VIP (.9) stays outside the pool so
kube-vip and LB-IPAM can never contend.
Values prod still cannot know stay INVALID `TBD-PROD-*` placeholders on purpose: base
defaults are dev values, so an omitted patch means prod silently inherits a dev address
— far worse than a loud failed apply.
DEV IS BYTE-IDENTICAL. Verified by kustomize build over 13 paths before/after, then
flux envsubst with the dev cluster-vars values applied to both sides: zero drift. The
only deltas are the intended additive keys in the overlay ConfigMap itself. No
unresolved ${TOKEN} survives. render-golden green (10 goldens); yamllint clean.
Serves: R-ENV-02. Task: T-7.1 (prerequisite). Gate: MERGE GATE: PASS.

Headlamp's HelmRelease sat in the wait:true `platform` Flux tier. Its pod
crashlooped (`flag provided but not defined: -session-ttl` — chart 0.40.1
renders a container arg the appVersion v0.40.1 backend lacks; upstream
kubernetes-sigs/headlamp#4883), and because it gated `platform`, the whole
chain stalled: platform Ready=Unknown -> platform-config, oauth2-proxy,
apps-wave-0/1/2 and apps-vms all Ready=False "dependency not ready".
Part A (unblock + durable lesson): a leaf UI must never gate the chain. Move
all Headlamp resources into a new non-gating Flux Kustomization
clusters/base/headlamp.yaml (dependsOn platform-config, wait:false, SOPS
decryption patched per-env in clusters/dev) — mirroring oauth2-proxy exactly.
The new Kustomization owns the whole platform/headlamp component; its HTTPRoute
moves from platform-config into platform/headlamp/kustomization.yaml. Removed
headlamp from platform/kustomization.yaml and its httproute from
platform-config/kustomization.yaml. Now a crashlooping Headlamp can never stall
platform/platform-config/apps.
Part B (make it start): pin the chart to 0.41.0 (`>=0.41.0 <0.42.0`). The
backend added `f.Int("session-ttl", …)` in v0.41.0 and chart 0.41.0 pins that
same image (appVersion == chart version), so chart+image realign; every arg the
chart renders for our values is supported. OIDC config + per-user RBAC
(clusterRoleBinding.create:false) unchanged.
Gate: `make -C ci gate` PASS.

Add Headlamp (kubernetes-sigs/headlamp Helm chart) at
headlamp.home.keithjackson.dev with native Keycloak OIDC login and PER-USER
RBAC: Headlamp forwards each user's id_token to the k3s apiserver, so the
existing oidc:* group bindings (platform-admins->cluster-admin, viewers->view)
apply per user. The ServiceAccount is deliberately NOT bound to cluster-admin
(clusterRoleBinding.create=false), since user requests ride the forwarded token.
Key integration nuance: the apiserver is configured oidc-client-id=kubernetes,
so it only accepts tokens whose aud contains `kubernetes`. The new `headlamp`
Keycloak client carries an oidc-audience-mapper (included.client.audience=
kubernetes) so tokens carry aud=[headlamp, kubernetes] -- accepted by both
Headlamp's own verifier and the apiserver, leaving the apiserver config
untouched. A groups mapper emits the `groups` claim the apiserver maps to RBAC.
- platform/headlamp: namespace, HelmRepository/HelmRelease, SOPS OIDC secret
(externalSecret envFrom), default-deny NetworkPolicy + Cilium ingress
(gateway)/egress (apiserver+Keycloak) policies, README. Wired into
platform/kustomization.yaml (platform tier).
- platform/headlamp/httproute.yaml wired into platform-config (Gateway API CR,
dependsOn platform), modeled on grafana-httproute.
- keycloak-realm-import: add `headlamp` confidential client + groups/audience
mappers + HEADLAMP_CLIENT_SECRET placeholder. Client also created LIVE via
kcadm (realm import no-ops on the existing realm).
- keycloak-realm-clients.sops: add headlamp-client-secret (mirrored into
headlamp-oidc-credentials clientSecret). Both encrypted to the repo age key.

oauth2-proxy is a leaf forward-auth service that depends on Keycloak +
trusted wildcard TLS + split-horizon DNS. It lived in the gating `platform`
Flux Kustomization (wait:true), so on a cold start it Failed until those
dependencies existed, keeping the whole `platform` tier not-Ready. That in
turn blocked `platform-config` — which brings up the very Keycloak instance,
wildcard Certificate and L2 VIP oauth2-proxy needs (and previously carried
oauth2-proxy's own httproute/servicemonitor) — from ever reconciling. A
self-gating cold-start deadlock, twice-proven (DECISIONS-LOG sessions 7 & 9).
Break the cycle by moving the whole oauth2-proxy component out of the
`platform` tier into its own non-gating post-platform Flux Kustomization:
- clusters/base/oauth2-proxy.yaml: new Kustomization -> ./platform/oauth2-proxy,
dependsOn platform-config, wait:false, substituteFrom cluster-vars.
- clusters/base/kustomization.yaml: reference the new Kustomization.
- platform/kustomization.yaml: drop the oauth2-proxy component (no longer in
the gating tier).
- platform/oauth2-proxy/kustomization.yaml: pull in httproute + servicemonitor
so the full component travels together.
- platform-config/kustomization.yaml: drop the in-place oauth2-proxy
httproute/servicemonitor refs (moved with the controller).
- clusters/dev/kustomization.yaml: add the SOPS decryption patch for the new
oauth2-proxy Kustomization (it now owns the encrypted credentials Secret that
the `platform` Kustomization used to decrypt).
Now `platform` reaches Ready without oauth2-proxy; platform-config brings up
Keycloak/TLS/DNS; then oauth2-proxy reconciles against dependencies that
already exist. wait:false guarantees its health can never gate anything above
it. No config of oauth2-proxy itself changed — only its reconciliation tier.

independent break-glass path (works even if Keycloak/OIDC is down).

and trust the public LE cert). Applied via the rolling Restart k3s handler.
Keycloak/RBAC land via Flux now; the API-server flags take effect on the next

Adds the VM/CDI storage tier approved by the PM (RWX for live-migration):
- platform/external-snapshotter (NEW, controllers pass): the cluster-singleton
snapshot.storage.k8s.io control plane (CRDs + snapshot-controller in
kube-system), pinned v8.2.0 (Kubernetes deps aligned to 1.31 since v8.1.0;
this cluster is k3s v1.31.5). These CRDs were absent — only snapshots.longhorn.io

- platform/kubevirt/cdi-storageprofiles.yaml (NEW, platform-config): StorageProfile
longhorn -> cloneStrategy: snapshot; StorageProfile longhorn-vm -> snapshot clone

migratable: "true" (Longhorn's KubeVirt-live-migration knob; RWX/Block-only on
1.7.3), is-default-virt-class (NOT the k8s default; longhorn stays RWO default).
- platform/kubevirt/kubevirt-cr.yaml: comment only — LiveMigration is GA on v1.9

R-NET-01, R-STATE-01) is already certified, so disabling the running pods loses no delivered
capability. Re-enable (uncomment kubevirt in platform + platform-config) once the VMs' RAM is
grown. Manifests retained; reversible.
Generate the 3 OIDC client secrets (SOPS-encrypted, minimal manifests) so the realm
import can inject the grafana + oauth2-proxy client secrets and both consumers match:
- platform/keycloak/keycloak-realm-clients.sops.yaml (grafana + oauth2-proxy client secrets)
- platform/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy-credentials.sops.yaml (client-id/secret/cookie)
- platform/monitoring/grafana-oidc-credentials.sops.yaml (grafana client secret)
Wire each into its component kustomization and re-enable oauth2-proxy in platform +
platform-config (reverses the temp deferral now that its secret exists).
Values generated by PM per operator instruction (random; recorded out-of-repo at
~/.config/home-k3s/keycloak-sso-secrets.txt for later rotation). Encrypted via sops in the
dev container to the age recipient in .sops.yaml; plaintext never committed.
Serves: R-IDP-01, R-IDP-02, R-IDP-04, R-SEC-01.

oauth2-proxy's HelmRelease mounts existingSecret oauth2-proxy-credentials, an operator
hand-off not yet filled. Under the unified graph (platform wait:true), the not-ready HR
blocks platform -> platform-config -> the whole downstream graph including KubeVirt.
Deferring it (comment its line in platform/kustomization.yaml + its two entries in
platform-config) lets the no-secret components (KubeVirt/CDI, CNPG, Keycloak operator +
instance) reconcile and be certified now. Re-enable both together once the operator fills
platform/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy-credentials.sops.yaml.
Serves: R-IDP-02 (deferred). PM sequencing correction — enable per phase AND readiness.

Enabling monitoring deadlocked the platform Kustomization: alerts.yaml ships
PrometheusRule CRs whose monitoring.coreos.com CRDs are installed by the
kube-prometheus-stack HelmRelease in the SAME pass → 'no matches for kind
PrometheusRule' → atomic apply failure → NO monitoring HelmReleases created.
Same controllers/configs fix as cert-manager/kyverno: drop alerts.yaml from
platform/monitoring and apply it via platform-config (dependsOn platform), so the
monitoring CRDs exist first. Verified: platform has 0 PrometheusRule (keeps the 3
monitoring HRs); platform-config has the 8 alert rules; gate PASS.

Un-suspend deadlocked: the single platform Kustomization applies HelmReleases
(which register CRDs) AND custom resources of those CRDs (ClusterIssuer,
Certificate, Kyverno ClusterPolicies) in ONE pass. Flux's server-side apply
fails atomically ('no matches for kind ClusterIssuer') → nothing installs, so
the CRD-registering HelmReleases never run either. Classic ordering deadlock.
Fix (flux2 controllers/configs pattern, applies to dev+prod equally — no
R-ENV-02 divergence): add a platform-config Flux Kustomization (dependsOn
platform, wait) carrying the CRs; platform keeps only the controllers.
- New clusters/base/platform-config.yaml (path ./platform-config, substituteFrom
cluster-vars, no decryption — no SOPS content); wired into base + apps now
dependsOn platform-config (transitively waits for platform).
- platform-config/ references the CR files IN PLACE via ../platform/... (Flux
builds LoadRestrictionsNone; Kyverno policies must stay under platform/kyverno/
for the CI L0 gate). CR resources dropped from the platform
component kustomizations (cert-manager, gateway, kyverno).
- Authored the missing Cilium L2 resources (were only a TODO): CiliumLoadBalancerIPPool
(dev NAT 10.73.0.240-.250) + CiliumL2AnnouncementPolicy (ens*), so Gateway
LoadBalancer listeners get a VIP. Prod range must be parameterized later.
Verified: platform build has zero CRs; platform-config build has 2 ClusterIssuers,
6 ClusterPolicies, Certificate, Gateway, both Cilium L2 CRs; dev/prod build; gate PASS.
