Phase-3 VPN config is complete + correct (OpenVPN-UDP, SE Stockholm), but the
OpenVPN UDP/1197 handshake to PIA never gets a reply. Traced with tcpdump: packets
leave pod→node→host→WiFi (SNAT 192.168.2.103) fine, but 0 replies return to the
host, while host UDP/53 works. The 192.168.2.x home router/ISP drops OpenVPN UDP —
upstream of everything in this repo. Reverted to disabled to avoid a crashloop
firing false KubePodCrashLooping alerts; one-line re-enable once the network is
fixed. Full trace in DECISIONS-LOG.

Gluetun cannot do PIA over WireGuard (upstream unsupported; live "provider name
is not valid for Wireguard"). Operator approved OpenVPN-UDP and ADR-0013 was
amended in the spec. This aligns the impl:
- platform/kustomization.yaml: re-enable `- vpn-egress` (Phase 3, OpenVPN-UDP)
- gluetun-gateway.yaml: clean stale WireGuard comments (header, image note,
VPN_TYPE/creds comments); config already VPN_TYPE=openvpn
- README.md: PIA-over-OpenVPN, status=enabled, steering iface wg0 -> tun0
- DECISIONS-LOG.md: disk/drive incident (k3s -> NVMe; failing Seagate) + Phase-3
OpenVPN resolution
Stale WireGuard comments inside the operator's encrypted pia-credentials.sops.yaml
header left untouched (editing breaks the SOPS MAC; cosmetic).

PIA creds provisioned (SOPS) + wired. Enable vpn-egress in platform/kustomization.yaml
to deploy the shared Gluetun gateway (PIA over WireGuard, Sweden region, kill-switch).
Egress-class steering (vpn-class pods -> tunnel) still to be validated against the live
tunnel next. Gate PASS.

Enable monitoring in platform/kustomization.yaml (Phase 4). Grafana admin +
Alertmanager SMTP secrets are provisioned (SOPS) and wired; Longhorn SC is up for
Prometheus/Loki PVCs. Set the Alertmanager receiver 'to:' to a valid inbox
([email protected]) so the config loads (REPLACE-ME is not a valid address);
operator can change it. NOTE: smtp_from ([email protected]) differs from
the Gmail auth user — Gmail may reject/rewrite unless a send-as alias is configured;
that only affects email delivery at alert time, not stack health.

The prior integration commit enabled kyverno in the platform render, but (a) the
admission bundle used ../policies refs that fail default kustomize load
restrictions, and (b) admission enforcement is Phase 2 (T-2.7), not Phase 0.
Fix: platform/kyverno/kustomization.yaml now lists resources with downward paths
(builds standalone); platform/kustomization.yaml re-defers kyverno with a Phase-2
note. All Phase-0 gates green: kustomize (platform, platform/kyverno, dev),
schema validation, conformance scaffold.

Add platform/kyverno/kustomization.yaml (renders the admission enforcing bundle)
and enable the kyverno component in platform/kustomization.yaml (first, so
admission policies precede other components). kustomize build verified.
