The in-cluster Gluetun gateway is retired; VPN egress is now a node-level host
OpenVPN split-tunnel (Ansible role vpn_egress_gateway) steered by a Cilium
Egress Gateway policy with a host nftables kill-switch (ADR-0015). Credentials
moved host-side to the Ansible vault. Update docs/comments only:
- platform/vpn-egress/README.md: rewrite for ADR-0015 (live + conformance-green);
drop the resolved "option 1 not viable with Gluetun" finding to a brief history note.
- platform/kustomization.yaml: Phase 3 comment -> node tunnel + Cilium steering.
- platform/kyverno/.../require-egress-class-label.yaml: ADR-0013 -> ADR-0015 steering.
- schemas/servicedefinition.schema.json: egress=vpn description -> node tunnel + Cilium.
- clusters/base/cluster-vars.yaml: reframe PIA_REGION / CLUSTER_POD_CIDR WHY comments
to ADR-0015 (Cilium excludedCIDRs); both keys retained (still referenced/documented).
- platform/vpn-egress/namespace.yaml: no privileged gateway pod under ADR-0015.
- pia-credentials.sops.yaml / pia-custom-ovpn.sops.yaml: comment headers only note
they are now UNUSED (creds host-side), retained pending cleanup; payloads untouched.
No runtime manifest behavior, alert exprs, kustomization resources, or SOPS payloads
changed. No spec-repo edits.

The kyverno chart's cleanup jobs (policyReportsCleanup, webhooksCleanup) default to
bitnami/kubectl:1.30.2, which Bitnami removed from Docker Hub (2024 catalog purge) ->
ImagePullBackOff. policyReportsCleanup is a Helm post-upgrade HOOK, so its failure
stalls every helm upgrade (5m timeout -> HelmRelease not-Ready -> platform Kustomization
blocked -> platform-config/apps cascade). Override both to Bitnami's relocated
bitnamilegacy/kubectl (identical image: /bin/bash + awk/wc/xargs + kubectl). Verified
via helm template that no bitnami/kubectl reference remains.

Kyverno HelmRelease install failed at Helm templating: config.webhooks was a
LIST [{failurePolicy, namespaceSelector}], but the kyverno 3.3.9 chart expects
config.webhooks to be a MAP (webhooks.namespaceSelector) — the chart helper reads
.namespaceSelector off the value directly ('can't evaluate field namespaceSelector
in type []interface {}'). Also, failurePolicy is not a per-webhook field here; the
chart's global switch is config.forceFailurePolicyIgnore.enabled (bool).
Fix: config.webhooks -> map with namespaceSelector (system+platform excludes);
add config.forceFailurePolicyIgnore.enabled = ${KYVERNO_FORCE_FAILURE_POLICY_IGNORE}.
Renamed the cluster-var KYVERNO_WEBHOOK_FAILURE_POLICY (Fail/Ignore) ->
KYVERNO_FORCE_FAILURE_POLICY_IGNORE (false base / true dev). Verified with
helm template (renders 73 objects, no error); gate PASS.

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.

Prep only — nothing deployed; running cluster untouched.
Reconciliation graph (operator-approved Option A): author clusters/dev/rollout/
= 4 per-component Flux Kustomizations (kyverno->cilium->longhorn->monitoring,
monitoring dependsOn longhorn). Dev overlay $patch:delete's the monolithic base
platform/apps and adds ./rollout, so only the no-secret tier reconciles; the
secret-blocked components are simply not created until hand-offs arrive. The
no-secret tier carries no SOPS content, so it needs no sops-age key. prod is
untouched (still builds the monolith). Convergence path coded in (delete rollout/
+ the two deletes) — R-ENV-02 divergence flagged for architect review.
Component hardening via cluster-vars (prod keeps strict posture):
- KYVERNO_VALIDATION_ACTION Enforce->Audit(dev), _WEBHOOK_FAILURE_POLICY
Fail->Ignore(dev), _ADMISSION_REPLICAS 3->1(dev); webhook namespaceSelector
excludes system+platform namespaces.
- MONITORING_STORAGE_CLASS var; GRAFANA_ADMIN_SECRET var (dev ''=chart default);
Alertmanager SMTP/secret deferred to Phase-4 with verbatim re-enable markers.
Cilium parity verified against the live CNI (no-op adopt). Validated:
kubectl kustomize dev/prod/all-components, envsubst->YAML parse, make -C ci gate PASS.

Adopt the spec's Phase-0 clarifications (spec now at pin a7fc19f) into the impl:
- schema v1.1: enforce exposure:public => auth.mode!=none (positive+negative tested).
- Kyverno: add longhorn=>size and longhorn=>NOT-reacquirable invariants (R-STATE-02/03).
- Ratify the homelab.keithjackson.dev/* label-key convention (now in spec docs/03).
- R-TEST-06 spec-immutability gate: ci/SPEC_PIN + ci/spec-immutability.sh + gate.sh
stage + Makefile target + a Gitea job (checks spec repo clean & at pin).
- touched-requirements.sh: conformance tags are the authoritative source.
Reconcile 3 CI seams the CI worker flagged (gate was RED, now GREEN):
- create schemas/validate.sh (SCHEMA_VALIDATE_CMD entrypoint) — L0 schema gate runs.
- fix l1.sh/conformance.sh to run.sh's real interface (fixed _artifacts/ paths; no
--junit/--coverage) and collect artifacts.
- exec bits on new scripts.
make -C ci gate => PASS (l0 skips locally w/o kyverno binary; green in CI).

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.

Phase 0 foundation shell (read-only spec at ../home-network-k3s). Top-level
tree + rules; workstream agents fill their subtrees on feature branches.
