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.

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.

The plural --allowed-groups does not exist in oauth2-proxy v7.8.1; the shared
oauth2-proxy new pod and the crafty auth sidecar both crashlooped on 'unknown flag'.
The flag is the singular, repeatable --allowed-group.

Add Crafty Controller 4 (registry.gitlab.com/crafty-controller/crafty-4:4.10.8)
as a platform component: a web panel that runs Java + Bedrock Minecraft servers as
subprocesses in one pod + a 20Gi Longhorn PVC (mounted 5x by subPath).
Auth = Option B (per-app oauth2-proxy reverse-proxy sidecar), since Cilium 1.16.5
cannot do ext_authz on the shared Gateway:
- oauth2-proxy v7.8.1 sidecar (:4180) reverse-proxies to Crafty's self-signed HTTPS
UI (127.0.0.1:8443), gated to Keycloak homelab realm group platform-admins.
- Confidential `crafty` client provisioned live via kcadm + captured in the realm
import; client secret + cookie secret via SOPS/age (mirrored in realm-clients).
- Web UI: HTTPRoute crafty.home.keithjackson.dev -> Service :80 -> sidecar :4180.
- Game ports: Cilium L2 LoadBalancer on VIP 192.168.1.55 (next free after .53/.54),
starter set TCP 25565-25567 (Java) + UDP 19132-19134 (Bedrock), NOT auth-gated.
- fsGroup:0 / runAsGroup:0 / runAsUser:1000 for the image's crafty:root identity on
the root:root Longhorn PVC (the seerr fsGroup lesson).
- Own non-gating Flux tier clusters/base/crafty.yaml (dependsOn platform-config,
wait:false) + sops-decryption patch in clusters/dev — a leaf UI must never gate
the platform.
- Explicit default-deny NetworkPolicy + CiliumNetworkPolicies (platform namespace,
not app-namespace, so Kyverno does not auto-generate the baseline).
make -C ci gate green; kustomize build of platform/crafty, clusters/base,
clusters/dev clean.
