Prod has been archiving WAL to `TBD-PROD-S3-BACKUP-ENDPOINT` since bootstrap. Verified live 2026-09-07 on all three CNPG Clusters: ContinuousArchiving=False, "unexpected failure invoking barman-cloud-wal-archive: exit status 4". Because archive_mode is ON, that is not a degraded backup — it is a DISK-FULL CLOCK. Postgres will not recycle a segment it has not archived, so keycloak-db's pgdata PVC is at 579 MiB used / 4360 MiB free and climbing monotonically. When it fills, the primary PANICs and takes SSO down, and with it kubectl OIDC, Grafana, Headlamp, Gitea and forward-auth. Wiring the endpoint is what lets Postgres drain the whole accumulated backlog in one pass. THE KNOB LAYOUT (three new, one repurposed) and why it is shaped this way. The operator created exactly ONE R2 bucket, `k3s-prod-backup`, but the two backup tools want differently-SHAPED values: the Velero chart takes `bucket` and `prefix` as separate fields, while CNPG's barmanObjectStore.destinationPath is one full s3:// URL whose first path segment IS the bucket. So: S3_BACKUP_ENDPOINT dev http://192.168.1.9:9000 prod https://<acct>.r2... S3_BACKUP_REGION dev us-east-1 prod auto VELERO_BACKUP_BUCKET dev velero prod k3s-prod-backup VELERO_BACKUP_PREFIX dev "" prod velero CNPG_BACKUP_PATH dev s3://cnpg prod s3://k3s-prod-backup/barman There is deliberately NO separate `S3_BACKUP_BUCKET`: CNPG's bucket already lives inside CNPG_BACKUP_PATH, and a second knob holding the same bucket name twice is a rotation waiting to drift. Three knobs, each shaped for its own consumer, and no two of them can contradict each other. TENANCY. Inside k3s-prod-backup, velero and barman get disjoint TOP-LEVEL prefixes — s3://k3s-prod-backup/velero/ and s3://k3s-prod-backup/barman/<cluster>/ — with the bucket ROOT left empty so a misrendered prefix lands somewhere obviously wrong instead of silently colliding. This is not tidiness: Velero ADOPTS every backup under its location and TTL-DELETES it on retention, so an overlapping prefix would let it reap WAL segments; and interleaving two Postgres servers' WAL into one prefix corrupts the chain outright. Dev↔prod isolation is doubly independent — different endpoint AND different bucket names — so neither cluster can reach the other's objects even with a mis-substituted prefix. DEV IS UNCHANGED, BYTE-FOR-BYTE, and that is asserted rather than assumed. Base defaults are dev's LIVE values (verified against the running cluster: BSL bucket=velero with NO prefix, region us-east-1; all three CNPG Clusters ContinuousArchiving=True at s3://cnpg on the MinIO), and the dev overlay now restates all five explicitly for the same reason LONGHORN_DATA_PATH is restated — a silent drift in base would ORPHAN the backups dev's PROVEN restore depends on. The empty-prefix case was the one real risk, and it is settled empirically: with prefix "" the chart omits objectStorage.prefix from the rendered BackupStorageLocation ENTIRELY (helm template, chart 12.1.0), so dev's live BSL is unchanged, not merely equivalent. R2's TWO GOTCHAS, both wired up front: - region must be exactly `auto`. head-bucket answers {"BucketRegion":"WNAM"}, which is a PHYSICAL LOCATION HINT, not a signing region. This was hardcoded us-east-1 inside the Velero HelmRelease — correct-by-accident for MinIO, wrong for anything else — so it is a knob now. - checksumAlgorithm: "". velero-plugin-for-aws v1.14.2 bundles an AWS SDK with flexible checksums on by default and sends x-amz-sdk-checksum-algorithm / x-amz-checksum-crc32 on every PUT; R2 rejects those with HTTP 400 InvalidArgument, failing every backup and every kopia blob upload. It must be PRESENT-but-empty (the plugin branches on the key existing), and the chart does emit an empty value — verified by rendering it. Harmless against MinIO, so it is unconditional rather than a fourth knob. WHAT THIS DOES NOT DO. Velero stays SUSPENDED on prod. `spec.suspend: true` is owned by field manager `flux` (verified: kustomize-controller's managedFields do not include f:suspend), so server-side apply will not strip it, and nothing here declares suspension — which would also trip R-ENV-03, since a prod overlay may patch only cluster-vars and a Flux Kustomization's `decryption`. Unsuspending is the operator's, after `standup.sh --s3-endpoint <r2> s3check` proves a round trip. NO DNS KNOB IS TOUCHED. BASE_DOMAIN stays prod.home.keithjackson.dev and every EXTERNALDNS_* value is untouched. The apex inversion on work/prod-standup-campaign was deliberately NOT carried: this branch ports that branch's R2 reasoning knob by knob, and merges nothing. VERIFIED: ci/l0.sh green (flux-postbuild-substitution 272 assertions, 0 hazards, 33 knobs defined / 28 referenced, every new token resolved in BOTH overlays); render-golden, lint, schema, spec-immutability green; touched requirement R-STATE-03 covered.

platform/
Cluster-wide platform services, Flux-managed (R-PLAT-01, R-GITOPS-01/02/03). Reconciled
by the platform Flux Kustomization defined in clusters/base/platform.yaml,
before apps/.
Governing spec: docs/05-gitops-and-delivery.md,
docs/01-architecture-overview.md.
Phase 0 scaffolding only. Every component here is a structurally-correct stub — a Flux HelmRelease and/or Kustomization with a values placeholder, a README citing the governing ADR/spec, and TODOs for the phase that fills it in. No cluster exists; nothing reconciles yet. Do not add working config, secrets, or provisioning under Phase 0 (spec
AGENTS.md§1/§5/§6,roadmap/phases.md).
Reconciliation flow (how a change lands)
git (source of truth)
│ operator PR → CI (lint · schema · Kyverno L0 · Chainsaw) → merge to tracked branch

Flux GitRepository (clusters/base/flux-system.yaml)

Git is authoritative; the cluster conforms to git and drift is auto-corrected (R-GITOPS-01/03).
Manual kubectl apply of platform state is prohibited (spec AGENTS.md §5).
The dev ↔ prod overlay model (R-ENV-02)
Platform manifests are authored once. Every value that legitimately differs between environments
is a ${TOKEN} resolved from the cluster-vars ConfigMap via Flux postBuild.substituteFrom. The
clusters/dev and clusters/prod overlays differ only by the values they patch into
cluster-vars (issuer, replica counts, storage sizes, retention). See
clusters/README.md. Base manifests are never forked per environment.

⚠️ INTEGRATION TODO(PM): wire kyverno into the platform kustomization
platform/kyverno/ is authored by a different agent (the policy engineer, WS-TEST). This
workstream did not create any files under platform/kyverno/ and must not.
platform/kustomization.yaml intentionally omits - kyverno. Once the
policy engineer's files land, the PM must add - kyverno to that list (recommended first, so
policies are present before other components reconcile). The line is present as a commented TODO in
the kustomization.
Secrets
Every secret referenced below (Cloudflare API token, Velero backup-target creds, Keycloak admin/DB, oauth2-proxy cookie/client secrets) is referenced by name only and will be committed SOPS-encrypted (WS-SEC, ADR-0007). No plaintext secret appears anywhere in this tree.
Cross-workstream contracts surfaced by these stubs
- cilium (WS-NET ↔ WS-INFRA): Cilium's initial CNI install is done by Ansible at cluster bootstrap (docs/02, Phase 1). The HelmRelease here manages Cilium config thereafter; its Helm values MUST match the Ansible bootstrap values (kubeProxyReplacement, k8sServiceHost/Port, API server host) or reconciliation will fight the bootstrap. Contract owner: WS-NET + WS-INFRA.
- gateway + cert-manager + externaldns (WS-NET + WS-SEC): the shared Gateway listener, the
wildcard
*.home.keithjackson.devcert, and the ExternalDNS source all reference each other; they form the "Issuer + Gateway TLS" interface inroadmap/workstreams.md. - image-automation (WS-UPDATE): this dir holds only the cluster-wide ImageUpdateAutomation +
git write-back. Per-service
ImageRepository/ImagePolicyare rendered from each ServiceDefinition'supdateblock (WS-GITOPS/WS-UPDATE), living withapps/. - keycloak/oauth2-proxy (WS-SEC): the SSO/auth contract (
authblock → Keycloak client / oauth2-proxy protection) is owned by WS-SEC; these are placeholders pending that contract.
