jakman85andClaude Opus 5 dc136a4943 fix(auth): the forward-auth sidecar also died at 5 minutes and served no metrics
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m42s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped
Widens the cookie-collision fix to the whole sidecar contract, because all three
defects live in the same function and land on the same five goldens, so they are one
atomic change or they are five conflicting ones.

Added to _oauth2_sidecar_container(), on top of the cookie-name/cookie-domain fix:

  --cookie-refresh=2m30s
      The session died FIVE MINUTES after sign-in. Keycloak's homelab realm issues
      300-second access tokens (MEASURED on a live session: expires - created =
      300.000s exactly, with refresh_token:true on the same line), and
      --cookie-refresh defaults to 0 -- which the pinned binary's own help spells
      "0 to disable". So the proxy held a refresh token it was never told to spend.
      Refresh at HALF the lifetime: two chances to renew before expiry.
      This, not the collision, is what dominates the rejection VOLUME -- ~95% of
      radarr's 155 rejections in 12h carry no cookie at all.

  --metrics-address=0.0.0.0:44180 + a `metrics` container port
      Without the flag the /metrics listener never starts, so no per-app sidecar was
      serving metrics at all (`ports` was ['http'] on all six). 44180 is the
      platform's existing convention, measured not chosen: the shared proxy already
      runs the same flag and port with 2 ready endpoints.
      PREREQUISITE ONLY -- NOT scraped. A container port is not a Service port, and
      each namespace's default-deny baseline is `ingress: []`, so this is unreachable
      until a Service port (or PodMonitor), a monitoring allow and a ServiceMonitor
      land. Do not read this as "the sidecars have metrics now".

EVERY FLAG VERIFIED AGAINST THE PINNED v7.8.1 BINARY (`--help`), not against docs or
the shared proxy -- which runs v7.15.3 and could not have vouched for v7.8.1:
  * --metrics-address exists in 7.8.1, so this cannot crashloop the pods
  * --cookie-refresh ... "0 to disable" confirms the default
  * --cookie-name ... (default "_oauth2_proxy") -- this confirms from the
    IMPLEMENTATION the constant the new L0 check is built on
  * --api-route is SINGULAR; the plural does not exist and the proxy refuses to start
  * --session-cookie-minimal exists and is mutually exclusive with --cookie-refresh,
    so dropping --pass-access-token is a least-privilege argument, never a size fix

NOT done, deliberately: --api-route=^/api/ renderer-wide. It was measured on jackett
and PiHole does not serve /api/, so a renderer constant would apply one app's path
shape to five. It needs a per-app hook the `auth` schema forbids
(additionalProperties: false) -- a schema change, separate PR.

Also records the mechanism that made this INTERMITTENT, as a renderer comment, because
nobody would reconstruct it from the flags: the loser does not just fail to read the
cookie, it calls ClearSession, which expires the cookie on its own --cookie-domain --
the whole zone. The *arr UIs poll (/api/v3/command, /api/v3/queue/details,
/signalr/negotiate), so every poll carrying an undecryptable cookie clears it again:
A LEFT-OPEN RADARR TAB DELETED JACKETT'S COOKIE EVERY FEW SECONDS, from another
namespace, with no user action. That is why signing in again never helped for longer
than the gap between two polls.

Crafty's counter-evidence resolved: the 81:1 ratio was a 24h window straddling a
13h52m-old pod. Bounded to the fixed process, crafty's ENTIRE life is 3 rejections in
6743 log lines, with ZERO `removing session` and ZERO `cookie signature not valid`
against unfixed radarr's 8 and 8. The eviction fingerprint is gone where the fix is
deployed. It logged 0 AuthSuccess too, so that is absence-of-the-failure-mode rather
than a session watched working -- stated as such in the handoff.

Renderer selftest gains six assertions, including a --cookie-refresh check that PARSES
the duration and requires 0 < refresh < 300s (so 2m30s/150s/2.5m all stay green while a
silent widening past the token lifetime does not). NOTE, and it is in the handoff as the
top follow-up: NOTHING IN ci/ RUNS `render.py --selftest`, so those assertions are
dev-time only. conformance/tests/l0-static/auditability-proofs-producible/check.sh:291
already drives other tools' selftests for exactly this reason and is the one-line fix.

Gate (toolbox, worktree shim with the spec repo mounted at /home-network-k3s): rc 3
UNDETERMINED. Green: spec-immutability, decisions-log, lint, l0, render-golden, l1,
approval-policy. Skipped: gitea-settings (no local token), conformance (declared).
The new L0 check PASSES on this branch -- all five apps fixed in one commit.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 9a4489b733 fix(auth): five oauth2-proxy sidecars shared one cookie and evicted each other
gate / gate (pull_request) Failing after 1m43s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped
Every oauth2-proxy on this platform is an independent instance with its OWN
cookie-secret. Measured on prod 2026-09-30: seven `*-oauth2-proxy` Secrets, seven
DISTINCT cookie-secret values (compared in-cluster, never printed). So no instance
can DECRYPT another's cookie -- it can only OVERWRITE it.

All of them were emitting oauth2-proxy's DEFAULT names (`_oauth2_proxy`,
`_oauth2_proxy_csrf`) scoped to `.${BASE_DOMAIN}`, so the browser kept ONE cookie
pair for SIX live instances (jackett, pihole, qbittorrent, radarr, sonarr, and the
shared forward-auth proxy). Whichever authenticated last clobbered the rest; the
loser logged `No valid authentication in request`, bounced to Keycloak, and -- the
SSO session still being live -- was redirected straight back and clobbered it again.
The symptom is "I signed into Keycloak but I'm still not signed in", which sends you
hunting in Keycloak, where nothing is wrong. Crafty was fixed on its own side on
2026-09-29 (#22); this is that fix generalized to the pattern.

THE DEFECT WAS NOT IN THE MANIFESTS. apps/wave-*/{jackett,pihole,qbittorrent,radarr,
sonarr}.yaml are GENERATED goldens; one function emits all five. So the fix is in
catalog/render.py::_oauth2_sidecar_container(), and both flags are now DERIVED from
the ServiceDefinition rather than defaulted:

    --cookie-name=_oauth2_proxy_{s['name']}     unique by construction
    --cookie-domain={host}                      the app's own host, not the zone

A per-service table was rejected for the reason twelve ServiceMonitors once acquired
one identical wrong port name in a single edit: it would leave the NEXT app onboarded
defaulting straight back into the collision. --whitelist-domain stays zone-wide; it
governs post-login REDIRECT targets, not cookie scope.

Host-scoping is defence in depth and is asserted deliberately: a zone-wide cookie is
transmitted by the browser to every host in the zone, so each app's session token was
being sent to every sibling -- and it is what would make a FUTURE name collision
platform-wide instead of contained.

New gate check (whole-repo scope, so it runs on EVERY gate invocation, not only when
a touched path happens to attribute an identity requirement):

    conformance/tests/l0-static/oauth2-proxy-cookie-names-distinct/

It resolves each instance's EFFECTIVE cookie name -- declared, or oauth2-proxy's
built-in default when omitted, because an omitted flag is not an absence but a CLAIM
on a name, and reading it as an absence is exactly why this survived five reviews.
Then: no two collide; none is another's name + `_csrf` (oauth2-proxy derives the CSRF
cookie that way); the default has exactly ONE owner, registered with its reason in a
shrink-only register -- the SHARED proxy, which MUST keep `_oauth2_proxy` because
renaming it signs every other gated surface out at once; every other instance is
host-scoped; render.py derives rather than lists; and the SHIPPED renderer is proven
end-to-end on two synthetic ServiceDefinitions, so the check stays falsifiable once
the tree is clean.

Tested in both directions: rc 0 on this tree (39 assertions, 7 instances), rc 1 with
26 failures against the pre-fix tree, plus one targeted mutation per assertion class
(duplicate name, CSRF derivation, zone-wide domain, unregistered default heir, stale
register entry) -- each fired, and nothing else did.

Also regenerates the three L1 rendering goldens, which are expected-output fixtures
of the same renderer.

UNVERIFIED: no browser round-trip. The collision has still never been REPRODUCED in a
browser -- doing so needs two gated apps visited in one session -- so this is reasoned
from measured configuration and from the mechanism, not from a failure anyone watched.
Nothing was applied; merging rolls five Deployments and invalidates every existing
session on them once. See decisions/2026-09-30-oauth2-proxy-cookie-collision-fleet.md.

jakman85 b184a42729 merge: internal services stop advertising themselves in public DNS
Six exposure:internal services published A records into the public Cloudflare
zone answering 192.168.2.20, disclosing the internal subnet, the Gateway VIP
and a full service inventory, and forming a DNS-rebind primitive that is why
the SOHO router strips these answers in the first place.

The renderer now stamps external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/controller: none on
every HTTPRoute it renders for an internal service, derived from the exposure
field alone — so a service that omits exposure defaults to internal and is
likewise unpublishable. Established against the deployed v0.21.0's own source,
where the controller check runs before hostname resolution in both configured
sources, then proven live on a throwaway hostname including that adding the
annotation to an existing record triggers the DELETE.

Deletes exactly 12 records: the A and TXT pair for jackett, pihole,
qbittorrent, radarr, semaphore and sonarr. A 39-record recovery baseline is
committed alongside.

Safe to land before the DHCP change, contrary to my earlier caution: the
router returns NOTHING for all six names today, so these records serve nobody
on the LAN, while Pi-hole at 192.168.2.23 already answers for anyone pointed
at it.

The five exposure:public services are untouched. They remain unreachable
publicly, which is a separate problem: the legacy edge at 136.51.115.252
returns HTTP 403 for our hostnames and serves a placeholder certificate, so
nothing is reverse-proxying them today.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 fd43f332d6 feat(pihole): authoritative LAN DNS for the zone on udp/53 + tcp/53 at a pinned VIP
platform/coredns/coredns-custom.yaml has always said its split-horizon is for
PODS and deferred LAN clients to "PiHole split-horizon". PiHole served no DNS:
its Service was ClusterIP with ports 80 and 4180 only. The LAN half of R-DNS-03
that docs/09 and the README's Phase 2 row both claim did not exist, so LAN
clients ran on hand-maintained per-client dnsmasq files - one went stale after
the dev decommission and cost the operator sonarr.home.keithjackson.dev. The
SOHO router that owns 192.168.2.0/24 cannot cover for it either: it strips
RFC1918 answers for public domains as rebind protection and returns NOERROR
with no answer.

EXPOSURE (apps/wave-0/pihole-dns.yaml, hand-written, placed into wave 0 by
render.py's EXTRA_UNITS - the schema has no field for a LoadBalancer Service, a
pinned lbipam VIP, a sharing key, source ranges or UDP, the same reason
apps/vms/unifi and platform/crafty hand-write theirs):
  - two Services, udp/53 and tcp/53, sharing one pinned VIP
    ${PIHOLE_DNS_VIP} = 192.168.2.23 on prod, the next free address in the
    .20-.30 pool (pool status IPsUsed 3 of 11; .20 Gateway, .21 unifi, .22
    crafty; arping from a LAN host got no reply).
  - no external-dns hostname annotation: nothing public is created, and
    platform/externaldns/ is untouched.

ANSWERS (catalog/pihole.yaml env - declarative, no reconciler): PiHole v6 takes
every FTL setting as an FTLCONF_ environment variable and treats it as
env-forced, applied ahead of pihole.toml on every cold start and read-only in
the UI. That is a real declarative entry point, which the Keycloak and CNPG
CronJob reconcilers exist precisely because their state lacks, so a reconciler
here would be ceremony. misc.dnsmasq_lines carries a wildcard
address=/<zone>/<GATEWAY_VIP> plus one longer-domain override per L4 service
(unifi, crafty-mc, pihole-dns); dnsmasq resolves overlaps by longest matching
domain, so precedence is structural and a newly onboarded Gateway-fronted
service needs no DNS change. dns.upstreams is declared too - the live pod
carried hand-set upstreams that no manifest knew about and that every restart
discarded.

externalTrafficPolicy Cluster, NOT Local, and loadBalancerSourceRanges for the
LAN restriction. Measured on prod, Cilium 1.20.1: the L2 announcer does not
filter lease candidates by which nodes hold a backend - the two Services landed
on k3s-prod-3 and k3s-prod-2 while the pod ran on k3s-prod-1 - and it keeps
renewing after the pod moves away, so with Local a reschedule leaves LAN DNS
dead indefinitely. Cluster serves the VIP from any node; the LAN restriction
moves to loadBalancerSourceRanges, which Cilium enforces in eBPF on the VIP
before load-balancing (verified by narrowing the range to exclude the test
client and back). The cost is SNAT: forwarded queries reach PiHole from the
ingress node, so PiHole's per-client rate limit is disabled in the catalog or
the whole LAN would count as one client against its 1000-per-60s default.

Proven from a LAN host (192.168.2.132) against 192.168.2.23 with the pod and
both leases on three DIFFERENT nodes: sonarr/grafana/nextcloud/keycloak/apex
-> 192.168.2.20, unifi -> .21, crafty-mc -> .22, pihole-dns -> .23, recursion
(cloudflare.com, github.com, debian.org) intact over both udp and tcp, AAAA
NODATA, NXDOMAIN outside the zone, and still answering after a forced
prod-1 -> prod-2 reschedule.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 4080065aa7 feat(dns): exposure: internal can no longer publish a public record
docs/09 R-DNS-03 and schemas/renderer-contract.md both said an `internal`
service renders no public DNS record. Nothing enforced either sentence.
ExternalDNS's `gateway-httproute` source admitted EVERY HTTPRoute on the shared
Gateway, so six `exposure: internal` services — jackett, pihole, qbittorrent,
radarr, semaphore, sonarr — published `<name>.home.keithjackson.dev` into the
public authoritative Cloudflare zone answering with the Gateway VIP
192.168.2.20. That published the internal subnet, the Gateway VIP and a full
service inventory to anyone who could guess a label, and made each of those
names a DNS-rebind primitive — which is why the SOHO router strips RFC1918
answers and LAN clients need per-client dnsmasq overrides to reach their own
services.

THE MECHANISM, established against the DEPLOYED version rather than from
memory. The live prod Deployment runs
registry.k8s.io/external-dns/external-dns:v0.21.0. In v0.21.0,
source/annotations/processors.go IsControllerMismatch() skips a source object
whose `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/controller` annotation is present and
!= its own `dns-controller`, and source/gateway.go applies that check inside
Endpoints() BEFORE any hostname is resolved; source/service.go applies the
identical check, covering the second configured source. catalog/render.py now
emits that annotation on every HTTPRoute it renders for an `internal` service,
derived from `exposure` alone — no per-service list — so a service that omits
`exposure` inherits the internal default and is unpublishable too. Verified
LIVE on prod on a throwaway hostname with no existing record at risk: the
annotated route published nothing, and adding the annotation to a route that
already had a record produced action=DELETE for both its A record and its `a-`
TXT registry entry one ~60s reconcile later, moving nothing else in the zone.

WHY PER-RESOURCE AND NOT A CLUSTER-WIDE OPT-IN FILTER. `labelFilter` is the
stronger default posture and v0.21.0 supports it for both configured sources,
but nine publishing objects here are hand-authored platform/apps manifests with
no `exposure` field, seven of which hold live records (auth, crafty, crafty-mc,
grafana, headlamp, the apex, unifi). An opt-in filter deletes all seven at
once, and whether each should be publicly resolvable is an operator decision
per name. Per-resource exclusion has exactly the blast radius of the defect;
the seven are enumerated in a shrink-only register so the unadjudicated set
cannot grow silently, and the filter stays available as hardening afterwards.

`policy: sync`, `txtOwnerId` and `domainFilters` are UNTOUCHED. Per-resource
exclusion only ever removes an object from this instance's view, so nothing
here makes prod capable of deleting a record it does not own.

WHAT THIS DELETES, and it is not reversible by a revert alone: 12 records — the
A record and the `a-`-prefixed TXT registry entry for each of jackett, pihole,
qbittorrent, radarr, semaphore and sonarr. The zone has no
`*.home.keithjackson.dev` wildcard and `*.keithjackson.dev` does not match two
labels, so each becomes a public NXDOMAIN with no fallback. The complete
pre-state is captured at the authority and committed as a recovery baseline
(.standup-dns/dns-20260914-pre-externaldns-scope.txt), with the restore
procedure for both halves of a record.

MERGE ORDER IS NOT OPTIONAL: feat/pihole-lan-dns-authority must land and be
verified first. Removing these records while the LAN still depends on them,
with the router stripping RFC1918 and no internal authority yet, breaks name
resolution outright.

The five `exposure: public` services are LEFT UNCHANGED and still answer with
the Gateway VIP, so they remain publicly unreachable. That is two open operator
decisions, both written up in platform/externaldns/helmrelease.yaml: what
address they should answer with (136.51.115.252 is the legacy non-k3s stack
serving a placeholder cert, not established as correct for this cluster), and
how to separate them from the non-public names that share the Gateway —
because in v0.21.0 the target annotation is read only from the GATEWAY and a
ListenerSet, never from an HTTPRoute, so a per-service override is not
expressible while they all attach to `shared`. No knob is added for it yet: one
that cannot take effect invites someone to set it and expect one.

Guard: conformance/tests/l0-static/internal-services-publish-no-public-dns, a
whole-repo-scoped L0 static check (no ci/l0.sh stage — the
whole-repo-invariants-wired meta-test forbids one). It asserts both directions
(present on internal, absent on public), the `service`-source half, that the
renderer DERIVES the annotation from `exposure` and cannot emit external-dns's
own claiming value, proves the shipped renderer end-to-end on
internal/public/omitted-field fixtures, and ratchets the non-catalog register.
Proven to fail on the pre-fix tree (9 of 53 assertions, naming all six
services) and pass after (56/56).

Schema 1.6.0 -> 1.7.0: no field changes, a mapping change to `exposure`.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 cf7d97e546 fix(obs): twelve app SLI rules read a signal that exists; kill the dead ServiceMonitors
Twelve `<app>-down` SLI rules were STRUCTURALLY INERT. Each read `up{job="<app>"} == 0`,
and the ServiceMonitor rendered beside it named `endpoints[].port: metrics` — a port NO
rendered app Service defined. Every monitor discovered ZERO targets, so no `up{job="<app>"}`
series existed and the rule could not fire. Verified on prod before this change:
`count by (job) (up)` listed 24 jobs and not one of the twelve appeared; `up{job="plex"}`
and `up{job="gitea"}` both returned nothing. `PrometheusTargetsMissing` could not see it
either — a target that was never discovered has no `up` series to be 0.

THE PORT NAME WAS NEVER THE MISSING PIECE. Ground truth per app: Plex, Pi-hole, Jackett,
qBittorrent, Sonarr, Radarr, Seerr, Semaphore and Nextcloud export NO Prometheus metrics
without a separate exporter sidecar; Gitea can but only with app.ini metrics enabled;
Keycloak does, on the operator's management port, already scraped by
platform/keycloak/servicemonitor.yaml; vm-demo is a KubeVirt VM with no Service at all, so
its monitor selected nothing whatsoever. `metrics: true` was asserting a fact none of them
had. There was also a THIRD layer of inertness nobody had hit yet: every app namespace ships
default-deny with `ingress: []` and the renderer emitted no monitoring allow, so even a
correct port would have been dropped by policy — while renderer-contract.md claimed the
baseline carried such an allow.

FIXED IN THE GENERATOR, not in twelve rendered files:
  * `slis: [up]` now renders a `<app>-down` alert against kube-state-metrics readiness of the
    service's own workload object —
    `kube_deployment_status_replicas_available{namespace,deployment} == 0 or absent(...)`,
    `kube_statefulset_status_replicas_ready` for a StatefulSet, and
    `absent(kubevirt_vmi_info{namespace,name,phase="running"})` for a VM. The same idiom
    KeycloakDown has used since it was fixed. kube-state-metrics IS scraped, so this needs no
    exporter and no new target. The `or absent(...)` half is load-bearing: the signal
    DISAPPEARING now fires the alert instead of silencing it.
  * schema 1.6.0 adds `observability.metricsEndpoint` — WHERE metrics are served. A
    ServiceMonitor is rendered ONLY from it, and it renders all three halves of a working
    scrape together: the named Service port, the monitor endpoint, and the
    monitoring-namespace CiliumNetworkPolicy allow. No catalog entry declares one, so twelve
    dead ServiceMonitors are gone. `metrics: true` keeps meaning logs-to-Loki plus
    kube-state-metrics liveness.
  * schema 1.6.0 also adds `observability.livenessWorkload`, and catalog/keycloak.yaml uses
    it. Keycloak's server is a StatefulSet run by the operator; the default Deployment shape
    would have made its `absent()` half fire FOREVER — the other failure mode this repo has
    shipped.
  * renderer selftest gains cases 9/9a/9b/9c: no metricsEndpoint => no monitor; the up SLI
    must not read `up{job=...}`; endpoint port must exist on the Service; the metrics port
    must NOT reach the Gateway allow; an unknown livenessWorkload.kind is REFUSED.

PROOF, both directions, for all twelve (apps/wave-{0,1,2}/tests/app-slis.test.yaml, run by
platform/monitoring/tests/run.sh over the RENDERED manifests):
  * quiet on the healthy state; firing on no-ready-replica; firing when the series is ABSENT;
    the VM asserted both gone and in a non-running phase; per-app isolation asserted, and
    keycloak asserted un-maskable by its neighbours (keycloak-operator Deployment,
    keycloak-db StatefulSet ready in the same namespace).
  * mutation-checked: six mutations, each turning its suite red — reverting plex to
    `up{job=...} == 0`; dropping seerr's `absent()` half; pointing keycloak at a Deployment;
    capitalising the VMI phase to `Running`; widening keycloak's matcher to the namespace;
    inverting plex's `== 0` to `!= 0`. Control run green.
  * live on prod with `promtool query instant`: all ten deployed app Deployments export
    `kube_deployment_status_replicas_available`,
    `kube_statefulset_status_replicas_ready{namespace="keycloak",statefulset="keycloak"}` = 2,
    `kubevirt_vmi_info` present with a lowercase `phase="running"`; and evaluating the twelve
    SHIPPED expressions returns no series for eleven (quiet, not permanently firing). The
    twelfth is vm-demo, which is not in apps/wave-0/kustomization.yaml and so is not deployed
    — its rule is not applied either.

DELETION WAS NOT THE ANSWER, and the evidence is recorded rather than assumed:
kube-prometheus-stack's `kubernetes-apps` group IS live on prod (17 rules, KubePodNotReady /
KubeDeploymentReplicasMismatch among them), so app pods are not unmonitored — but that is a
generic warning keyed to a namespace, not the per-service CRITICAL SLI R-OBS-01 declares.
platform/monitoring/alerts.yaml carries no generic app-readiness rule at all.

GUARD SO IT CANNOT RECUR SILENTLY: new whole-repo L0 invariant
conformance/tests/l0-static/servicemonitor-ports-resolve. It walks the MONITORS, not the
alerts, so it needs no `up{job=...}` rule to reach one, and resolves each endpoint by SELECTOR
across the whole tree rather than by same-file adjacency. Fixing the alerts DELETED the only
thing that made the broken monitors visible to the sibling check, which is exactly why this
axis needed its own home. It declares `conformance.home.k3s/scope: whole-repo` and adds no
ci/l0.sh stage. Proven to FAIL on the pre-fix tree: 15 failures — eleven port disagreements,
vm-demo's monitor matching no Service at all, and the three generator/contract assertions —
and to pass after. Its resolver is additionally proven on in-check fixtures (agreeing pair
accepted, disagreeing pair rejected, target-less endpoint rejected), because after the fix
there are zero in-repo monitors left for it to judge and a guard whose only evidence is
"nothing failed" cannot be told apart from one that stopped working. It also asserts
r_servicemonitor does not HARDCODE a port name — the mechanism by which one edit gave twelve
services the same wrong one.

Also fixed, found on the way:
  * platform/monitoring/tests/run.sh discovered the SUITE convention only inside
    platform/monitoring/tests/ while documenting it as general — a suite added anywhere else
    was never run and still looked like coverage. Now discovered tree-wide; a misplaced
    *.test.yaml fails loudly instead of vanishing.
  * KNOWN_UNWIRED_JOBS in alert-metrics-have-scrape-targets is now EMPTY, and the twelve
    apps/* entries in alert-rules-unit-tested's UNTESTED_FILES are gone — both because the
    gaps were CLOSED, not waived. Both registers are shrink-only and a stale entry fails.
  * renderer-contract.md claimed the default-deny baseline carried a standing monitoring
    scrape allow. It never did; the claim is corrected and the allow is now real, per declared
    metrics endpoint and scoped to that one port.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 c8c1d2935d feat(dns): per-environment BASE_DOMAIN — prod moves to its own subdomain
gate / gate (push) Has been cancelled
gate / conformance (push) Has been cancelled
INCIDENT FIX. Prod's external-dns DELETED EVERY ONE OF DEV'S PUBLIC DNS RECORDS. Both
clusters ran policy: sync against the SAME Cloudflare zone with the SAME implicit
txtOwnerId (`default`), so prod believed it owned dev's records, found no matching sources,
and removed them plus their TXT registry entries. Dev recovered ~30s after prod was scaled
to 0; verified restored against Cloudflare directly (my first check went through a pfSense
override and falsely showed healthy — local resolvers are not evidence about public DNS).

THE MISS WAS MINE, and it was a failure of imagination in how I briefed every agent. I put
"never touch dev" in brief after brief and enforced it — separate kubeconfigs, verified
--limit, sha-checked dev's kubeconfig before and after. Every one of those guards held. NONE
of them covered SHARED EXTERNAL RESOURCES. Prod reconciling its OWN correctly-authored
manifests reached across a third party and destroyed dev's state. Cluster-to-cluster
isolation was verified; the dependency that mattered was cluster-to-Cloudflare.

Operator's architecture: dev -> *.dev.home.keithjackson.dev, prod ->
*.prod.home.keithjackson.dev, apex CNAME <svc>.home -> <svc>.prod.home.

PHASE 1 ONLY (this commit): prod moves to its own subdomain. DEV IS NOT MIGRATED and its
effective hostname stays home.keithjackson.dev, so dev renders byte-identically and nothing
live moves. That alone ends the collision and unblocks prod. Phase 2 (dev -> dev.home. +
apex CNAMEs) is deferred to when the operator is present: it relocates Keycloak's issuer and
12 clients' redirect URIs, forces a rolling k3s restart and kubectl SSO re-issue for every
user, and moves gitea.home. — which is BOTH the GitOps source and the current push target.

BASE_DOMAIN WAS A DEAD KNOB — it existed in cluster-vars but the status report flagged it as
referenced by nothing, because hostnames were hardcoded throughout. Now real: 141 refs.
Searched the AUTHORITATIVE reconciled set by resolving each Flux spec.path transitively via
conformance/lib/status.py — the same resolver the L0 gate uses, so "what Flux reconciles"
has one definition. 185 occurrences across 47 files in 154 reconciled files. Tokenized:
Gateway listeners, the wildcard Certificate, coredns-custom, external-dns, Keycloak
instance/realm (26 redirect URIs), oauth2-proxy, Grafana OIDC, all HTTPRoutes, Homepage's 15
links, 30 runbook_urls, unifi cloud-init, render.py's ZONE constant (which drove
--oidc-issuer-url/--cookie-domain/--whitelist-domain on every forward-auth sidecar) and 11
catalog/ ServiceDefinitions re-rendered canonically. Left alone: 43 comment/prose
occurrences and non-reconciled paths.

TWO THAT CANNOT BE TOKENIZED, flagged not forced:
  - headlamp's OIDC URLs live inside a SOPS-encrypted Secret; re-encrypting rewrites the MAC
    over every value and the OFFLINE harness cannot verify it (kustomize does not decrypt),
    so an error would break live-dev SSO with no pre-flight proof. Prod needs its own copy
    anyway — client secrets are realm-scoped.
  - kube-apiserver --oidc-issuer-url is a k3s SERVER FLAG, not a manifest, so Flux can never
    reach it. Done on the inventory seam instead (k3s_base_domain -> k3s_oidc_issuer_url,
    overridden in group_vars/k3s_prod). Verified per host: dev keeps the default, prod gets
    prod.home.

EXTERNAL-DNS OWNER, the actual incident cause: txtOwnerId is now explicit per environment —
dev renders exactly `default` (the chart default it was already using, so its existing
records stay recognised) and prod gets `prod`. The BASE default is a NON-COLLIDING SENTINEL,
deliberately not `default`, so a future environment that forgets the knob owns nothing and
can delete nothing rather than silently inheriting dev's identity.

I OVERRODE ONE AGENT DECISION against our own prior finding: it narrowed prod's
domainFilters to prod.home.keithjackson.dev as defence in depth. FINDING F-DNS1
(DECISIONS-LOG 2026-08-17) already proved a subdomain filter DROPS THE PARENT ZONE —
ExternalDNS generates the record then skips it with "no hosted zone matching record DNS
Name". Prod would have published NOTHING. Set to the ZONE (keithjackson.dev) like dev.
Isolation comes from the subdomain split plus txtOwnerId, which is what the incident
actually needed and what a domain filter cannot provide.

DEV PROVEN UNCHANGED: 11 of 12 substituting paths byte-identical; the 12th differs by
exactly one line, `+ txtOwnerId: default` — the value dev was already using implicitly.
POSITIVE CONTROLS confirm the harness is not blind: perturbing BASE_DOMAIN moves 10 of 12
hashes (the 2 that don't provably contain no hostname), perturbing the owner id moves
exactly 1. Prod's rendered output has ZERO home.keithjackson.dev references outside prod.,
and its cert renders *.prod.home.keithjackson.dev — no overlap with dev's.

L0 substitution assertions 106 -> 254; BASE_DOMAIN is no longer flagged dead. Gate PASS.

PROD REMAINS SUSPENDED (platform + 10 downstream tiers) pending review; nothing applied.

Serves: R-ENV-02, R-DNS-01, R-DNS-02, R-DNS-03, R-TLS-01.

jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 72d4720d58 feat(auth): gate pihole UI with per-app oauth2-proxy sidecar (canary)
Close the un-gated-UI security finding for forward-auth apps (R-IDP-02) by
rendering the Option-B per-app oauth2-proxy reverse-proxy sidecar that crafty
proves working. catalog/render.py now emits, for any forward-auth app with an
exposed UI: the oauth2-proxy sidecar (upstream http://127.0.0.1:<uiport>,
:4180, --allowed-group per auth.group), an authproxy :4180 Service port, an
HTTPRoute backendRef -> :4180, and a gateway-ingress CiliumNetworkPolicy that
allows the Gateway to reach ONLY :4180 (fail-closed: the bare UI is never
served un-authenticated). oidc/native/none apps render byte-identical.

This is the CANARY: only pihole's golden carries the sidecar and is verified
fail-closed in-cluster first. jackett/qbittorrent/radarr/sonarr are deferred to
the rollout commit (temporarily listed in ci/render-golden.sh) so their UIs
keep serving exactly as today until their clients+secrets land.

- keycloak: confidential pihole client (realm-import + realm-clients mirror),
  provisioned live via kcadm (groups membership mapper, bare names).
- secret: SOPS/age pihole-oauth2-proxy-credentials (client-id/secret/cookie),
  wired into apps/wave-0 via the renderer's new sidecar-creds wave rule.
- L1 render goldens regenerated for the sidecar (forward-auth fixtures).

jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 68690e5019 fix(net): allow SSO apps egress to keycloak backend (Cilium 1.20 CVE-2025-30162)
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.

jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 36a1a4e1f9 refactor(apps): split monolithic apps Kustomization into dependency waves
Replaces the single `apps` Flux Kustomization with dependency-ordered waves
(apps-wave-0..2) so a crashlooping workload isolates to its wave + downstream
instead of stalling the entire app tier. Parallel within a wave, ordered across.

- catalog/render.py: compute waves by longest dependency-path depth over the
  ServiceDefinition `dependencies:` edges (a `<svc>-db` is a leaf, so its
  consumer lands strictly higher — the "DB below consumer" rule falls out of
  longest-path, no special case). `--emit-waves` generates the per-wave
  kustomizations + Flux CRs; `--wave-layout` places renders into the right dir.
  wave 0: pihole gitea jackett plex qbittorrent nextcloud-db semaphore-db
  wave 1: sonarr radarr nextcloud semaphore gitea-actions
  wave 2: seerr
- apps/*.yaml -> apps/wave-{0,1,2}/ (byte-identical moves; SOPS files intact).
- clusters/base: apps.yaml removed; apps-wave-{0,1,2}.yaml added (dependsOn
  chain: platform-config -> wave-0 -> wave-1 -> wave-2, prune+wait each).
- clusters/dev: one SOPS decryption patch per wave (load-bearing).
- DESIGN-waves.md: wave table, topology, cutover runbook.

Cutover: preceded by disabling prune on `apps` (1bfb0db) so removing that
object here does not GC its resources; the wave Kustomizations SSA-adopt the
byte-identical manifests in place (no restart, no PVC churn).
