The Test DECLARATION landed in the preceding WIP commit with no check.sh, so the test
could not run at all. This is the check: 49 offline assertions over the repository as
git tracks it, no cluster, no network, no spec repo (R-TEST-06).
THE RULE. Every home-zone hostname the repository routes over HTTP must be linked from
the apex dashboard's configuration; every home-zone link the dashboard offers must
resolve to something the repository actually serves (an HTTPRoute at L7 or a
hostname-publishing LoadBalancer Service at L4); and the two R-C2-02 surfaces must be
linked, reconciled and backed by real alert rules, with operational rights arriving
per-user through OIDC groups rather than through a shared cluster-admin identity.
IT IS RED ON MAIN, on the forward direction:
FAIL (8) every service the repo ROUTES over HTTP is surfaced on the C2 root.
Unsurfaced: crafty.${BASE_DOMAIN} (platform/crafty)
platform/crafty/httproute.yaml serves crafty.${BASE_DOMAIN} through the shared Gateway,
clusters/base/crafty.yaml reconciles it, and nothing on the C2 root links to it. R-C2-01
says the root MUST surface "the services running in the cluster and links to them", so
an unsurfaced route is a requirement gap, not a styling preference. Fixed in the next
commit, deliberately separate so the RED is in the history.
WHAT IS ASSERTED BEYOND THE PRIOR ATTEMPT (49c160d on feat/coverage-debt-paydown, whose
tree is ~107 commits behind and was NOT merged):
(0) THE INPUT SURFACE ITSELF. The forward direction is only as good as the set of
manifests it reads, so three assertions guard the guard: the scanned roots are
present, every manifest in them PARSES (an unparseable file is a service the check
cannot see), and EVERY Flux-reconciled path lies inside a scanned root — so a
future tier reconciling, say, ./services fails loudly instead of letting the
dashboard hide all of it. conformance/ is deliberately excluded from the scan: its
fixtures and goldens declare synthetic HTTPRoutes (paas-demo, gw-declared-
conformance) that are test data, not services the cluster serves. The prior
attempt excluded them only by accident, through a filename prefilter.
(5) postBuild.substituteFrom ON THE DASHBOARD'S TIER. Hostnames are ${BASE_DOMAIN}
tokens now, not the literals the prior attempt compared. Without substitution the
apex route binds the literal host `${BASE_DOMAIN}` (matching no listener) and
every tile links to a host that does not exist — while Flux still reports the
Kustomization Ready. It fails OPEN, which is this repo's most-repeated incident
shape.
(12) TOKENS, NEVER LITERALS. No href may name a literal `home.keithjackson.dev` host,
so prod's front door cannot link dev's services — the 2026-09-04 class (two
clusters authored to describe the same names, prod's external-dns then deleting
dev's records), applied to the C2.
(2) THE SECTIONNAME IS PROVEN LOAD-BEARING rather than asserted from prose: the
wildcard listeners are shown to exist AND to be distinct from the apex listener,
which is why `*.${BASE_DOMAIN}` cannot serve the bare apex.
(10) THE REVERSE DIRECTION NOW ACCEPTS L4. The UniFi tile points at :11443 on a
hostname published by apps/vms/unifi/50-service-l4.yaml (a KubeVirt VM behind a
pinned Cilium LoadBalancer VIP). That is something this repo serves, so it
resolves — no off-cluster declaration is needed for it any more. The declaration
hatch is kept and constrained (specific home-zone hostnames, may not shadow a
hostname the repo does serve) but is EMPTY today, which is the honest state.
WHOLE-REPO SCOPE, as the declaration says. The invariant quantifies over every tracked
manifest that can declare an HTTPRoute; the change that BREAKS it is a route added
somewhere else entirely (`apps/wave-1/newthing.yaml` attributes R-GITOPS-02 or nothing,
never R-C2-01), and ci/touched-requirements.sh has no path-map arm for platform/homepage
or platform/headlamp at all. Requirement-scoped selection would filter this check out of
exactly the change that introduces the bug — the R-TEST-03 blind spot. No ci/l0.sh stage
is added: Stage 3b's --include-scope union selects it, and whole-repo-invariants-wired
fails the gate if anyone hand-adds one.
HONEST GAPS, in the check's own header: it does not fetch the apex (L2, covered for the
Gateway/TLS half under R-DNS-01 / R-TLS-01); (19) reads a DECLARED auth posture because
no Gateway ext-authz attachment exists anywhere in this repo, and says so in the
assertion text; it does not judge whether a tile is useful; and an L4-ONLY endpoint
(crafty-mc, a Minecraft game port) is reported as an ADVISORY rather than required,
because a raw TCP/UDP endpoint has no URL a browser can follow.
