The wildcard cert stalled: challenge Presented=true (Cloudflare TXT created OK —
token works) but propagation self-check looped 'DNS record not yet propagated'.
Verified the record IS publicly resolvable (1.1.1.1/8.8.8.8); the NAT'd k3s-dev
cluster's own DNS just can't see it. Set dns01RecursiveNameservers=1.1.1.1:53,
8.8.8.8:53 + dns01RecursiveNameserversOnly=true so the self-check bypasses cluster
DNS. Realises the pre-existing TODO in this file.

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.

- Rename the committed encrypted secrets to canonical cloudflare-api-token.sops.yaml
(cert-manager + external-dns namespaces) and uncomment the resource lines in both
kustomizations, so cert-manager DNS-01 + ExternalDNS get the token at reconcile.
- Exempt **/*.sops.yaml from ci/yamllint.yaml: SOPS re-emits encrypted files with its
own indentation + long ENC[...] lines (never hand-edited), which was failing the lint
gate on main after the secrets were committed. Same treatment as **/vault.yml.
Both Secrets confirmed present + encrypted in the platform build; gate PASS.
