gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m36s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped
fix(ci): the settings token could NEVER have been stored -- Gitea reserves the GITEA_ prefix
The drift detector merged in #11 was inert and would have stayed inert silently.

WHAT HAPPENED. infra/gitea/set-ci-token.sh minted a token and PUT it to the repo Actions
secret GITEA_SETTINGS_TOKEN. Gitea RESERVES the `GITEA_` prefix for secret names -- exactly
as GitHub reserves `GITHUB_` -- and rejects that PUT with:

    HTTP 400  {"message":"invalid secret name"}

The script sent the PUT to /dev/null and printed "==> stored." unconditionally, and
`curl -sS` exits 0 on an HTTP error, so it reported success for a store that never happened.
Measured afterwards: the token existed in the user's token list, and the repo's secret list
was EMPTY. ci/gitea-settings.sh would have skipped on every CI run forever, and with
REQUIRE_GITEA_SETTINGS=true it would instead have BLOCKED EVERY PR -- including the one
fixing it.

Three changes:
  * the secret is SETTINGS_API_TOKEN; ci/gitea-settings.sh reads it, keeping
    GITEA_SETTINGS_TOKEN as a local-run fallback;
  * set-ci-token.sh checks the PUT's HTTP status AND reads the secret back, refusing to claim
    success otherwise. That missing verification is the actual defect -- the wrong name was
    just what it hid;
  * gate.yml maps the secret and ENABLES REQUIRE_GITEA_SETTINGS.

WHY ENABLING IT HERE IS SAFE: this PR's own CI run is the proof. If the stage were still
skipping, REQUIRE turns that into a failure and this PR goes RED rather than merging. Green
means the token resolved and live Gitea matched infra/gitea/expected-branch-protection.json.

Verified locally before pushing:
  REQUIRE=true, token present -> MERGE GATE: PASS
  REQUIRE=true, no token      -> gitea-settings SKIPPED -> BLOCKED (not a silent skip)

The secret is already stored and read back as present, so CI has what it needs.

infra/ — node provisioning and the toolchain

OpenTofu (Proxmox VE) + cloud-init + Ansible bring up the 3-node k3s/Cilium dev cluster. Spec: ../home-network-k3s/docs/02-environments-and-provisioning.md.

Path What
tofu/ The "Create" stage: 3 cloud-init'd VMs on the Proxmox box (bpg/proxmox provider)
cloud-init/ First-boot baseline shipped as a Proxmox user-data snippet
ansible/ The "Baseline"/"Configure" stages: k3s HA, Cilium, kube-vip, the VPN egress gateway
devcontainer/ The pinned toolchain (tofu, ansible, sops, age, flux, kubectl, helm and the whole CI gate toolchain)
cluster.sh RETIRED — drove the old libvirt VMs; does not work against Proxmox
PHASE1-STATUS.md Current state of the cluster and how to reconnect to it
PHASE1-SCOPE.md Historical Phase-1 scoping doc (libvirt era — superseded)

Where the cluster actually lives

The dev cluster is not on this workstation. It runs on a Proxmox VE host; the nodes sit on the Proxmox LAN and are reached across a pfSense NAT:

Nodes k3s-dev-1/2/3 at 192.168.1.50/.51/.52 — 6 vCPU, 24 GiB, Debian 13, k3s v1.36.4
kube-API kube-vip VIP 192.168.1.49:6443, reached from the workstation via NAT 192.168.2.50:6443
Node SSH pfSense NAT 192.168.2.102:2250/2251/2252 → node :22 (Ansible only)
Ingress VIP 192.168.1.53 (Cilium L2, shared Gateway); .53–.60 reserved for LB VIPs

The earlier libvirt/KVM cluster on 10.73.0.0/24 is retired. Any doc or command referencing virsh, qemu:///system, or 10.73.0.x for the cluster is historical.
