jakman85andClaude Opus 5.5 a775082ae1 feat(ci): run L0/L1 offline checks, mutation suites and yamllint in bounded parallel pools
- conformance/lib/run_l1_offline.py: checks run in a thread pool (--jobs / CONF_OFFLINE_JOBS,
  default min(8, usable CPUs)); results consumed in submission order, so log lines, JUnit,
  step summary and the 0/1/3 aggregation are unchanged. Exports a smaller MUTATION_JOBS to
  the children when parallel, so nested pools do not oversubscribe.
- keycloak-{passkey,client-secret}-reconciler/mutations.py: anchors checked first (serial),
  then the --selftest subprocesses run in a pool (MUTATION_JOBS, default min(8, CPUs));
  verdicts reported in MUTATIONS order. Output byte-identical to the serial loop.
- ci/lint.sh: yamllint over LINT_JOBS contiguous slices concurrently, per-slice output
  buffered and printed in order; stage rc = highest slice rc.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 24b8111d0c fix(conformance): the ledger stamped every proof env=dev regardless of cluster
gate / gate (push) Has been cancelled
gate / conformance (push) Has been cancelled
record_run.py defaulted --env to the literal 'dev'
(os.environ.get("CONF_ENV", "dev")) and run.sh hardcoded the same fallback
at both call sites, while CONF_ENV is set nowhere in this repo. So every
recorded proof claimed dev no matter which cluster it ran against.

Harmless while dev was the only cluster. Dev was decommissioned 2026-09-12,
and today a genuine DR-restore run against k3s-prod was recorded as
env=dev — caught before it was committed, and the record discarded rather
than hand-edited. A proof that lies about WHERE it was proven is worse than
no proof, because locating the demonstration is the ledger's whole job; it
would also have looked like a sixth dev-only row while actually being the
prod proof Phase 7 is waiting on.

env is now derived from k3s-prod (k3s-prod -> prod),
which cannot drift from the cluster the run actually talked to. An
undeterminable context records 'unknown', never a cluster name, and an
unexpected context is recorded verbatim so it is visible rather than coerced.
CONF_ENV still overrides. Recorder selftest passes.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 5fa278f61c 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.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 c66a7e29e9 fix(conformance): the harness contradicted itself in two places
1. auditability-proofs-producible rejected any proven ledger row without a
   sentinel, with no layer exemption — while record_run.py DELIBERATELY records
   L0/L1 rows sentinel-less via its own SENTINEL_EXEMPT_LAYERS, because
   run_l1_offline.py renders skips as JUnit <skipped/> and those layers have no
   pass token to attribute. So ANY `--record` run touching L0 or L1 wrote a row
   this gate then rejected. Consequence: a requirement whose verifier set includes
   an L1 check could never be both PROVEN and L0-green — R-NET-06 is exactly such
   a requirement, and hit it the moment it was re-proven on prod. The check now
   honours the same constant instead of restating the policy, so the two halves
   cannot drift apart again.

2. git_sha() marked the tree dirty from tracked files, but conformance/runs/
   ledger.jsonl IS tracked — so the FIRST `--record` run of a session dirtied the
   tree and every LATER run was stamped `-dirty`, which check.sh then refuses to
   honour. Recording one test poisoned the next, and that cost a second live
   fault-injection run against prod to work around. Its docstring already stated
   the intent for the untracked runs/<id>/ half of the same artifact; the ledger is
   the tracked half. Now excluded via pathspec, mirroring status.py's
   IMPL_EXCLUDE_PREFIXES which already lists this path for the same reason.

Neither change weakens an assertion: (1) applies an exemption that already existed
and was already documented, (2) stops the recorder invalidating its own output.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 6a8953e288 feat(prod): observability for the two failure modes that went unseen, plus OIDC self-healing
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.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 fdc3265585 fix(conformance): the ledger counted as evidence FOR the requirements it proves
Committing the first PROVEN row immediately degraded it to `stale-proof`. Cause: a
self-defeating loop.

`IMPL_EXCLUDE_PREFIXES` excluded `conformance/tests/` and `ci/tests/` but NOT
`conformance/runs/`. The ledger and the preserved run logs CONTAIN the requirement IDs they
are evidence FOR — `ledger.jsonl` literally holds `"requirements":["R-STATE-02"]` — so they
were scanned as IMPLEMENTING evidence for R-STATE-02. That made `last_change` for the
requirement move to the ledger commit itself, which the row's `git_sha` necessarily predates,
so the freshness check failed.

The consequence was total, not marginal: **recording a proof destroyed it, so NO ledger row
could ever have been non-stale.** The ledger would have reported `PROVEN: 0 (stale N)` forever
while looking like it was working — the same shape of silent-uselessness as the COMMAND-echo
bug in the previous commit, and found the same way: by actually running the thing and
disbelieving a green-looking result.

Fix: exclude `conformance/runs/`. The ledger is the proof RECORD; it must not participate in
the freshness computation about itself.

Verified: `PROVEN: 1 (stale 0, self-skipped 0, failed 0, unknown 0) from 1 ledger row(s)`;
R-STATE-02 reads **proven**. status.py --selftest PASS. The staleness machinery is otherwise
untouched — a genuinely stale row (impl changed after the run) still degrades, which the
selftest continues to assert.

Serves: R-TEST-01..04.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 57d4df8c4f fix(conformance): ledger read tokens from Chainsaw's COMMAND echo, not real output
The run ledger mis-classified the FIRST real L3 execution — a genuine PASS recorded as
`skipped`. Diagnosis, from the preserved log, section-classified:

  line  51  COMMAND   echo NODE_LOSS_SKIPPED_OK        <- script SOURCE
  line 190  STDOUT    NODE_LOSS_VOLUME_AVAILABLE_OK    <- the only REAL emission

Chainsaw echoes each script into a `=== COMMAND` block before running it, and every
skip-gated test contains `echo <TEST>_SKIPPED_OK` as source text. record_run.py scanned the
raw log without distinguishing sections, so it matched the skip token in the echo.
NODE_LOSS_SKIPPED_OK never appeared in output at all.

SEVERITY: since every skip-gated test embeds its own skip token as source, and skip outranks
pass, THE LEDGER COULD NEVER HAVE RECORDED `proven` FOR ANY TEST WITH A SKIP GATE. It would
have silently recorded nothing forever while appearing to work. It failed CLOSED — the right
direction — but a ledger that always fails closed is an expensive way to write "unknown".

FIX: classify_sections() splits the log on indented `=== NAME` markers (a section runs to the
first non-blank line indented LESS than its marker). Verified against the real log's actual
markers, including that Go's column-0 `=== RUN/PAUSE/CONT` lines carry a test name and must
never open a section. Then:
  PASS tokens are read from STDOUT ONLY — exactly where Chainsaw's own contains($stdout,…)
    looks, so a source echo or stderr can never manufacture a proof.
  SKIP tokens are read from every section that is NOT COMMAND, so an unknown future section
    name fails closed in BOTH directions.
  Lines outside any section prove nothing — this also closes a second false-positive vector:
    a FAILING Chainsaw run prints the assertion expression, which contains both tokens.
  A log with no markers is scanned whole exactly as before (such logs have no COMMAND echo).

SECOND BUG, same root: _LOG_HEADER_RE never matched a real Chainsaw log — the lines are
`    l.go:52: <BS>| 23:51:18 | <ANSI>node-loss<ANSI> | …`, not `| … |`. EVERY genuine run was
silently falling into DEGRADED whole-log mode. Now strips ANSI/backspace noise first and
accepts the Go source prefix, so runs attribute per-testcase as designed.

Safety properties re-asserted, not assumed: skip still beats pass WITHIN real output; unknown
layers still require a sentinel; JUnit failed/error/skipped still outrank everything; missing
JUnit or log still exits 3. Negative control: with scan_texts forced section-blind in a
throwaway copy, exactly the new cases fail — they do catch this bug.

Includes the preserved run directory 20260901T235117Z-e9a4b66 (report.junit.xml + run.log)
for R-STATE-02 / node-loss — 131s, cordon -> evict -> volume stayed available -> reader
re-attached -> clean teardown, the first L3 fault-injection test ever executed on this
cluster. The ledger row is recorded in the FOLLOWING commit, deliberately: git_sha is sampled
at record time and a dirty tree records `-dirty`, which is unresolvable and correctly degrades
to stale-proof. Recording against this clean commit is the honest way to get a resolvable sha
— NOT a --git-sha override, which would be a lever for recording a clean sha over a dirty
tree and was deliberately not added.

Serves: R-TEST-01..04, R-STATE-02.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 e9a4b669d4 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.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 6e77150ae1 fix(ci): kill the false-green base resolution; cover R-SEC-01/02 + R-TEST-06 (L0)
Unblocks the enforced Gitea gate, which correctly BLOCKED this branch on
['R-SEC-01','R-SEC-02','R-TEST-06'] being touched but uncovered. Tests were authored;
the coverage rule was NOT narrowed.

=== THE FALSE GREEN (root cause) ===
`make -C ci gate` locally reported PASS having checked NOTHING. resolve_base() validated
nothing, and EVERY way of failing to find a base degraded silently to an empty touched
set + exit 0: an `HEAD~1` last resort, a two-dot diff fallback masking a failing
three-dot diff, and no check that HEAD is even AHEAD of the base. Run while sitting on
`main` (main == origin/main), `origin/main...HEAD` is empty -> "no changed files vs
base" -> the empty set means run.sh is invoked with NO --requirements -> coverage.py's
--require gate never runs at all. Green by vacuum.

Now: candidates are BASE_REF > GITHUB_BASE_REF > origin/main > main, each verified to
resolve. HEAD~1 and the two-dot fallback are gone. Unresolvable base / no merge base /
failed diff / HEAD-not-ahead -> loud banner, EMPTY stdout, exit 3, and a machine-readable
reason (on-base | no-base | diff-failed). gate.sh turns exit 3 into an UNDECIDED
decision: `on-base` -> "NOT APPLICABLE — no branch under gate" (exit 0 so push-to-main
runs don't break, but it never reads as PASS); `no-base`/`diff-failed` -> BLOCKED. It
also now prints the diff base it used. A stale local main warns (widens, never falsely
greens). Also fixed `make -C ci test`, which was SWALLOWING failing suites.

Regression: ci/tests/touched-requirements-base.test.sh — 31 assertions over 8
throwaway-repo scenarios including the exact false-green case, an already-merged branch,
no base ref, a single-commit repo, bogus BASE_REF, a shallow GITHUB_BASE_REF, and
origin/main-preferred-over-stale-main.

=== NEW L0 STATIC LAYER (conformance/tests/l0-static/) ===
Where docs/14 actually puts these invariants. Each check.sh really executes offline via
`run.sh --layer l0` and is wired into ci/l0.sh, so it runs on every PR. No scaffolds.

R-SEC-01 no-plaintext-secrets (165 assertions / 445 tracked files): .sops.yaml holds only
PUBLIC age recipients; every committed Secret is SOPS-wrapped with a mac and ENC[...]
values; ansible vault.yml files are $ANSIBLE_VAULT; no secret-valued ansible key carries
a literal outside a vault; no PEM key / age secret key / kubeconfig client-key-data is
tracked; Flux declares sops decryption; the disallow-plaintext-secrets policy Enforces
and has a proving `result: fail` row. Exemptions are SELF-POLICING, not path allowlists —
a .example must be referenced by no kustomization and hold only placeholders, and the
Kyverno fixture is exempt ONLY while a test asserts the policy rejects it. Proven against
7 injected violations, including deleting the negative row and weakening Enforce->Audit.

R-SEC-02 least-privilege-rbac (41 assertions): no wildcard apiGroup/resource/verb and no
escalate|bind|impersonate in any in-repo Role/ClusterRole; no ServiceAccount bound to
cluster-admin or a wildcard role; the conformance runner's own test identity is scoped
and holds no rights over RBAC objects; the default-deny/host-namespace/egress-class
policies Enforce and each carry a negative row. Proven against 6 injected violations.

R-TEST-06 spec-immutability-enforced (16 assertions): drives the REAL
ci/spec-immutability.sh against HERMETIC throwaway spec repos and asserts its exit code
in every state — clean-at-pin 0, edits under docs/ or decisions/ 1, untracked addition 1,
unadopted drift 1, explicit pin bump 0, ABSENT spec repo 3 (honest skip, never green),
unpinned SPEC_PIN 1 — plus that gate.sh sets BLOCK=1 on its failure, so the mechanism is
load-bearing. The real spec repo is never written to.

Each check documents what it does NOT cover (runtime decryption, git history, runtime
least-privilege, branch protection) rather than overclaiming. status.py now reads
check.sh too, so a placeholder L0 body still outranks an `executable: true` annotation.

Coverage 37/51 -> 40/51 (11 gaps); executable tests 32 -> 35; scaffold-only stays 5 —
no sixth scaffold was added.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 1252823d80 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.

jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 fdf5c69adc 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.

jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 948c390272 conformance: serialize heavy L2/L3 tests + author alerting SMTP sink
TASK 1 — reliably single-pass green L2/L3:
Split run_chainsaw into a LIGHT pass (concurrent, config parallelism) and a
HEAVY pass (serial, parallel=1). The KubeVirt-CDI/Longhorn/DR tests
(vm-lifecycle, vm-data-survival, vm-default-deny, data-survival, dr-restore)
spike embedded-etcd on the small dev VMs; running them serially in their own
pass keeps their etcd spikes from ever coinciding with another test's setup —
the coincidence that let one heavy test's apiserver blip fail-close Kyverno
admission and abort every in-flight test at 0.01s. Heavy set is keyed by test
dir basename and overridable via CONF_HEAVY_TESTS. Each pass writes its own
JUnit; lib/merge_junit.py stitches them into the one stable report.junit.xml
CI collects, so the split is invisible downstream. Overall rc is the union of
both passes (no masking — real failures still surface).

Proof: full --layer l2,l3 run now completes single-pass green: 24/24 passed,
0 failures/errors/skipped. vpn-killswitch, which previously failed with an
apiserver EOF (etcd blip), passed; no mass environmental setup-aborts.

TASK 2 (T-4.1) — author conformance/tests/l3-fault-injection/alerting/
fixtures/smtp-sink.yaml: a hermetic Mailpit SMTP capture sink (Service
smtp-sink, SMTP 1025, HTTP API 8025) the alerting test applies as its mail
sink. restricted-PodSecurity compliant, in-memory (no PVC). Unblocks the
previously-aborting alerting scaffold; it now passes.

Touches conformance/ + ci-read content only — no apps/ or platform/ workload.

jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 bb48f675ee ci: bake pinned test toolchain into devcontainer + fix conformance layer/spec-immutability seams
Bake the conformance harness toolchain into infra/devcontainer so `make -C ci gate`
runs identically here and in CI:
- Containerfile: install kyverno CLI (1.13.4), kyverno-json, chainsaw (0.2.12),
  yamllint (1.35.1), check-jsonschema (0.29.4), yq (4.44.6) via new pinned RUN block;
  add diffutils + python3-pip; drop stale LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI; refresh header for the
  Proxmox(bpg)+conformance toolbox; extend /etc/dev-toolchain-versions provenance.
- versions.env: add KYVERNO/KYVERNO_JSON/CHAINSAW/YAMLLINT/YQ/CHECK_JSONSCHEMA;
  align KUBECTL 1.32.0 -> 1.31.4. dev.sh build(): pass the new --build-args.
- ci/versions.env: pin CHECK_JSONSCHEMA_VERSION=0.29.4 (single source of truth).

Fix harness seams so the gate can run:
- dev.sh run(): mount the sibling spec repo (home-network-k3s) read-only at
  /home-network-k3s for ci/spec-immutability.sh (R-TEST-06); conditional so the
  container still runs without it.
- conformance/lib/common.sh conf_dirs_for_layer(): accept a comma/space list of
  layers and union the dirs, so ci/conformance.sh `run.sh --layer l2,l3` selects
  both layers in one pass (backward compatible for single layers).

NOTE: ci/versions.env pins KYVERNO_JSON_VERSION=0.0.5, which has no upstream release
(max tag is v0.0.3; platform/kyverno/scripts/run-l0.sh already defaults to v0.0.3).
Baked v0.0.3 and flagged for PM to correct ci/versions.env. kyverno-json is not used
by any static gate stage.

jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 4a017c590e Wire L1 render conformance tests to the renderer (R-NET-01, R-NET-05/06/07)
Implements the two L1 rendering tests that were failing scaffolds:
- egress-class-render (R-NET-05/06/07): renders vpn + internet fixtures, diffs each
  against a committed golden, asserts the vpn steering label is present on vpn and
  absent on internet (fail-closed), and that flipping the class changes ONLY the
  egress path (R-NET-07). This fixes the --requirements R-NET-05 merge gate.
- default-deny-baseline-render (R-NET-01): asserts every render carries the
  namespaced default-deny baseline, shaped deny-all + both directions.

Each test carries a pure-offline render-check.sh (renderer + golden diff, no
cluster). run.sh runs L1 render checks offline and emits a REAL pass/fail JUnit
(docs/14: L1 rendering assertions run in CI without a cluster) instead of skipping
L1 with the cluster-gated layers; the chainsaw-test.yaml wrappers invoke the same
render-check.sh so an in-cluster run executes the identical assertion.
