  # PLEX_CLAIM — the ONE-SHOT plex.tv server claim, sourced from the SOPS Secret `plex-claim`
  # (apps/wave-0/plex-claim-secret.sops.yaml, same wave => applied in the same reconcile as this
  # workload). Plex cannot create libraries over the mounted bulk share while the server is
  # UNCLAIMED, so this is wired; it was previously left out on the reasoning below, and only one
  # half of that reasoning survived contact with the upstream source.
  #
  # A SHORT TTL IS THE OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINT, not a reason to abstain. A https://plex.tv/claim token
  # expires in MINUTES — read the countdown the claim page renders; do not budget against a number
  # written in this tree. (This comment previously asserted "~4 minutes" as established fact. It was
  # UNCITED, upstream plexinc/pms-docker documents no expiry at all, and that number was load-bearing
  # for the whole procedure design — including a since-disproven claim that the delivery pipeline was
  # too slow to fit inside it. Measured 2026-09-29: the full loop is ~2m45s and fits.)
  #
  # The live token is injected by the operator inside that window, with an explicit `flux reconcile`
  # to collapse the wait. Scripted end to end as infra/plex/claim-ship.sh; runbooks/plex-claim.md is
  # the procedure. SERVER CLAIMED 2026-09-29 — this env is now a permanent no-op (see below), and the
  # committed value is the spent token from that claim rather than the original placeholder.
  #
  # ONE-SHOT, AND SAFE TO SIT HERE EXPIRED. Verified from plexinc/pms-docker's own first-run script
  # (branch `master`, root/etc/cont-init.d/40-plex-first-run, confirmed byte-identical to the file in
  # the running `:latest` image), NOT assumed:
  #   - the exchange (line 106) is guarded on TWO conditions: PLEX_CLAIM non-empty AND the
  #     PlexOnlineToken pref in /config empty. Once claimed, the block is SKIPPED — this env is a
  #     no-op on every subsequent start, whatever it holds. (Upstream README: "If server is already
  #     logged in, this parameter is ignored.") The claim itself persists on the /config PVC as before.
  #   - an invalid/expired token on a still-unclaimed /config gets a 403 with an empty body; curl's
  #     status is unchecked, the token `sed` yields "", the success branch at line 120 does not fire,
  #     there is no `else` and no `exit 1`, and the script (no `set -e`) exits 0. It comes up UNCLAIMED and
  #     SERVING — it does NOT crashloop. The image also leaves S6_BEHAVIOUR_IF_STAGE2_FAILS at its
  #     default 0, which continues startup even when a cont-init script fails.
  # So the earlier "a placeholder claim Secret would crashloop the pod" note was WRONG about the
  # placeholder; it was right only about an ABSENT Secret. secretKeyRef here has no `optional` field,
  # so the Secret must always exist in the Flux graph — which is why it is committed, encrypted, and
  # listed in apps/wave-0/kustomization.yaml rather than hand-created at claim time. No schema change
  # is needed: `optional` would only matter if a missing Secret had to be tolerated, and it doesn't.

  # ADVERTISE_IP ("Custom server access URLs") is DEFERRED, not accidentally omitted. It tells Plex
  # which URL to advertise to plex.tv for REMOTE clients. The only candidate is
  # https://plex.home.keithjackson.dev, but that host resolves via split-horizon DNS to the INTERNAL
  # Gateway VIP (conformance/tests/l2-behavioral/dns-internal-resolution), and both its public
  # reachability and whether the TLS-terminating Cilium Gateway proxies Plex's 32400 API correctly for
  # remote access are UNVERIFIED. Advertising a wrong/internal-only URL breaks remote access for ALL
  # clients, so per "prefer safety over completeness" it is left unset. FOLLOW-UP: once remote
  # reachability through the Gateway is confirmed, set ADVERTISE_IP: "https://plex.home.keithjackson.dev:443".

                              # exchange is then skipped on every later start. (The older note here claimed a
                              # placeholder claim Secret "would crashloop the pod"; upstream's first-run script says
                              # otherwise — see the PLEX_CLAIM comment in `env` above. An ABSENT Secret is the hard
                              # failure, and that is why one is committed.)
  # THE LIBRARY (docs/04 bulk tier). One READ-ONLY mount of the export ROOT, giving /media/movies,
  # /media/tv and /media/photos — the whole tree the layout actually has (`ls /mnt/Storage/plex`:
  # downloads/ movies/ photos/ tv/).
  #
  # WHY THE ROOT AND NOT THREE subPath MOUNTS. Nothing is gained by narrowing: the mount is `ro`,
  # so no subPath could remove a privilege that matters, while three mounts would triple the NFS
  # mounts per pod and mean a manifest change every time a top-level library is added.
  #
  # WHY READ-ONLY, when the export is `rw` and the other consumers write. Plex is a SERVER: it
  # indexes and streams. Every write on that tree belongs to Sonarr and Radarr. Marking it here
  # costs nothing and removes Plex from the set of things that can damage 8.33 T. Enforced by the
  # PV's nfs.readOnly (a real `ro` mount), not only by the volumeMount flag.
  #
  # UID: no change needed. The tree is 0755 owned 1000:3000 throughout, so it is world-readable and
  # world-traversable, and PLEX_UID/PLEX_GID above already make the process uid 1000 in any case.
  # (fsGroup would have been a no-op here regardless — the in-tree NFS plugin does no ownership
  # management. That is the trap the arrs' PUID/PGID exists to avoid; Plex never hits it.)
