feat(pihole): two replicas on different nodes, and fix a PVC mounted where pihole never writes
Phase 2 of making LAN DNS survive a node failure. Pihole was one pod on one node; measured 2026-10-04, losing that node meant roughly 6-10 minutes with no LAN resolution (tolerationSeconds 300 + NotReady detection + a Longhorn RWO force-detach), while losing the node holding the pihole-dns L2 lease -- a DIFFERENT node -- meant tens of seconds. Two of three nodes were single points of failure with wildly different blast radii. Adds `availability.replicas` to the ServiceDefinition schema (1.10.0). Intent only; the mechanism is render.py's, documented in the renderer contract. 1 or absent renders a Deployment exactly as before -- verified byte-identical across the whole apps/ tree. >1 renders a StatefulSet (a longhorn PVC is RWO, so a multi-replica Deployment never schedules the second pod), per-replica volumeClaimTemplates, REQUIRED hostname anti-affinity, podManagementPolicy Parallel, a minAvailable:1 PodDisruptionBudget, and an SLI that follows the rendered kind (a Deployment-shaped rule against a StatefulSet absent()s forever). Pinned by ~20 new --selftest assertions rather than a conformance change. ALSO FIXES A LIVE BUG. Pihole's config PVC was mounted at the renderer default /data/config, but pihole writes to /etc/pihole. Measured: /etc/pihole (7.1M -- gravity.db, pihole.toml, query DB) was on the OVERLAY, while the 2Gi Longhorn volume held lost+found and 24K of nothing. So every restart discarded all state and re-downloaded 72k gravity domains, and backup.policy has been backing up an empty volume while reporting success. Fixed here because otherwise the new per-replica volumes would hold nothing while state stayed ephemeral -- and because persisting gravity.db is what makes a restart cheap. The /etc/pihole mount is safe on the image's own evidence: start.sh is PID 1 as uid 0 and chowns the directory recursively (no fsGroup needed), and it calls migrate_gravity which creates the database when absent. The gate caught a real regression on the first run: the wave-0 alert unit test fed pihole a Deployment-shaped series. Updated; promtool SUCCESS. Touches no sensitive paths, so this one needs no override. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]> |

feat(pihole): declare the admin password and adlists in git
Prerequisite for running more than one PiHole replica. A second replica with a fresh PVC would have come up serving DNS and blocking nothing, with a different admin password -- answers varying by which pod replied. pihole.toml's own ### CHANGED markers gave the exact inventory: four settings already came from env (declared), one came from the image, and exactly ONE operator-set value lived only on the PVC -- webserver.api.pwhash, a one-way hash nobody could recover. Separately the adlists were undeclared: one list and 72,234 gravity domains that nothing in this repo named. Declares both: - A SOPS secret feeding FTLCONF_webserver_api_password. webserver.api.password takes cleartext and FTL hashes it itself (verified: pihole setpassword IS setFTLConfigValue on that key), so the PVC's pwhash becomes derived state. - A level-triggered postStart hook that reconciles the declared adlist set into gravity.db -- adds, re-enables, and disables (never deletes) undeclared lists, running pihole -g only when something moved. A file would not work: v6's adlists.list import is migration-only, guarded on the DB not existing. The rendered hook was run in the live pod against throwaway copies of gravity.db, exercising all four paths. A fresh DB built from the image's own schema template has ZERO adlists, confirming this is load-bearing rather than cosmetic. Password kept rather than set empty: the pihole Service still publishes port 80 past the oauth2-proxy, closed only by policy, and default-deny has drifted here before. Multi-replica is phase 2 and deliberately not in this branch -- it needs a schema field, a StatefulSet (the config PVC is RWO), anti-affinity and a PDB. Adds a *.sops.yaml -- a sensitive path -- so approval-policy will block pending an operator /approve-override. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]> |

feat(auth): declare API paths per service, so --api-route can ship at all
PR #28 fixed the cookie collision, the 5-minute session and the missing metrics
listener in one renderer function, and deliberately declined `--api-route`
because the config model could not express the difference between two apps.
This adds the hook it was missing and sets the flag only where a measurement
says to.
THE DEFECT. oauth2-proxy answers an unauthenticated request with a 302 to
Keycloak. Its AJAX guard would send 401 instead, but it fires only on an EXACT
`Accept: application/json`, which these apps' JavaScript does not consistently
send. So a browser XHR gets a 302, FOLLOWS IT INVISIBLY, has it satisfied
silently by the live SSO session, and resolves 200 carrying the app's HTML where
the JavaScript expected JSON. On a write it is worse: a browser following a 302
re-issues a POST as a GET and DROPS THE BODY, so the operator's change is
discarded and the UI reports success.
MEASURED, on two apps and two different paths -- which is the whole argument:
jackett 2026-09-30: 33 x 302 vs 2 x 401 on /api/ paths, and 4 of 6 POSTs
answered by the proxy and never reaching Jackett (upstream `-`).
radarr 2026-10-01, 23h after PR #28 deployed (pod radarr-7d55cbffb9-42hmh,
0 restarts): 232 unauthenticated requests in the pod's whole life and
ALL 232 are the same call -- POST /signalr/messages/negotiate from a
browser, 302, upstream `-`. A left-open tab whose session the cookie
rename orphaned, polling forever, silently redirected every time and
NEVER re-prompting. The reported symptom, still in production.
So radarr's broken path is /signalr/ and jackett's is /api/, and PIHOLE SERVES
NO /api/ AT ALL. One function renders all five sidecars, so the cheap fix is a
constant -- and a constant applies one app's measurement to four apps nobody
measured. `auth` was `additionalProperties: false`, so there was no per-app
hook. Adding one named, documented key is the change; the block stays closed.
schemas/servicedefinition.schema.json 1.8.0 -> 1.9.0: optional
`auth.apiRoutes`, a list (radarr needs two, and --api-route is natively
repeatable) of anchored path regexes. Plus the shape invariant that a
non-empty list requires mode: forward-auth, since no sidecar is rendered
for oidc/native/none and declaring it there would be a SILENT NO-OP.
catalog/render.py emits one --api-route per entry, in order, and RAISES on
an unanchored entry. The flag is SINGULAR -- verified against the pinned
v7.8.1 binary's own --help; --api-routes does not exist and the proxy
refuses to start with it.
catalog/{jackett,radarr}.yaml the two measured apps.
catalog/{pihole,sonarr,qbittorrent}.yaml comments recording that they get
NOTHING, and why. Sonarr and qBittorrent were measured (0 unauthenticated
requests in 23h) and left alone: that is evidence of no TRAFFIC, not of no
need, and sonarr being nearly radarr's codebase is what makes the guess
tempting and still a guess.
apps/wave-0/jackett.yaml, apps/wave-1/radarr.yaml regenerated. Only TWO
goldens change; pihole/qbittorrent/sonarr are byte-identical to main,
which is the per-app property proving itself on the real tree.
BREADTH IS THE DANGEROUS DIRECTION AND IT IS NOT SYMMETRIC. A missing
--api-route is a silent 302. A too-broad one answers a plain PAGE LOAD with
401, so a logged-out operator gets a bare error page and is never offered a
sign-in -- the service looks permanently broken. Each entry must therefore
match `^\^/[A-Za-z0-9._~/-]+(\.\*|\$)?$`: anchored at ^/ then literal path
characters. `^/`, `^/.*`, `.*`, `/api/` and `^/api/|^/` are all rejected, all
five provoked. Alternation is refused rather than supported because the flag is
repeatable, so one entry per route costs nothing.
NEW GATE CHECK: conformance/tests/l0-static/oauth2-proxy-api-routes-per-app
(whole-repo scope, so ci/l0.sh's --include-scope union runs it on every
invocation; no bespoke stage, which whole-repo-invariants-wired would fail).
It is a SIBLING of oauth2-proxy-cookie-names-distinct, not an extension of it:
that check's subject is cookie IDENTITY and shares neither inputs nor failure
mode with this, so bundling them would make its name a lie and let a future
api-route decision be expressed only by weakening a COOKIE check.
The check exists for one reason the other gates cannot cover: render-golden
compares the render to the goldens, so a RENDERER CONSTANT plus regenerated
goldens AGREE WITH EACH OTHER while both being wrong. Provoked: the regen exits
0 -- render-golden is happy -- and this check exits 1 with 15 failures naming
pihole, qbittorrent, radarr and sonarr individually. It also asserts the
anchoring pattern is the SAME in the schema and the renderer, because three
surfaces guard this and if they drift the loosest wins silently.
Tested in both directions on throwaway trees outside the repo: compliant tree
rc 0 / 43 assertions / 6 sidecars; pre-change tree rc 1 / 11 failures; and four
targeted mutations (hand-edited golden, widened regex, renderer constant,
deleted schema pattern) each firing their own assertion class and nothing else.
ALSO FOLDED IN (coordinator's request; defect is in the file I own). _selftest()
reached _cookie_name() through a bare `next(genexpr)` with NO default, so
deleting the --cookie-name emission -- the exact mutation that assertion exists
to catch -- raised StopIteration, which escaped _selftest() BEFORE its collected
`SELFTEST FAIL:` lines were printed. Right verdict, zero diagnostics, and it
masked every other assertion the same mutation broke (found by Desmond Oyelaran
while wiring the selftest into the render-golden stage; his PR #33 is not in this
base -- origin/main @

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.

feat(dns): per-environment BASE_DOMAIN — prod moves to its own subdomain
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.
