jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 cbc2301b30 docs: reconcile docs/comments with post-upgrade cluster state
Text-only cleanup after the upgrade campaign. Updates stale version
strings, prose, and comments to the verified current facts; no
Kubernetes behavior or version pins changed except the kubectl
toolchain bump (below).

Verified facts applied: k3s v1.36.4+k3s1, Debian 13 trixie,
Cilium 1.20.1 / Gateway API v1.6.1, Longhorn 1.12.1, node RAM 24 GiB,
dedicated virtio2 SSD etcd disk per node, Velero chart 12.x / v1.18,
Grafana 13.2.0.

- Version strings across infra/ and platform/ READMEs + comments
- kubectl toolchain 1.31.4 -> 1.36.4 (devcontainer/ci/conformance
  versions.env; 1.31 vs a 1.36 cluster exceeded the +-1 skew)
- Retired-single-apps-Kustomization refs -> apps-wave-0/1/2 + apps-vms
  with per-wave SOPS decryption (flux/clusters docs + bootstrap.sh)
- COMPLETED/historical banners on the three executed plan docs
- Resolved TODO(WS-SEC) markers -> Renovate-maintained ranges
- Appended dated DECISIONS-LOG entry (2026-08-30) superseding the
  2026-08-26 LIVE STATE line

Left as revalidation items (not blind-edited): external-snapshotter
v8.2.0 vs 1.36, Cilium ext_authz/forward-auth relevance under 1.20.1,
conformance ImageVolume feature-gate assertions under 1.36.

platform/cert-manager

cert-manager — trusted TLS via Let's Encrypt, ACME DNS-01 (Cloudflare).

What this stub is

Flux HelmRelease + two ClusterIssuers (letsencrypt-staging, letsencrypt-prod — both mandated by ADR-0006). DNS-01 against the keithjackson.dev zone validates domain control without exposing the service (works for internal-only services, R-TLS-03) and enables the wildcard *.home.keithjackson.dev cert defined in ../gateway.

Contract (Issuer + Gateway TLS)

Part of the "Issuer + Gateway TLS" interface (roadmap/workstreams.md, WS-SEC + WS-NET): the wildcard Certificate (in gateway/) references the issuer named by ${ACME_CLUSTER_ISSUER} and its secret is consumed by the Gateway HTTPS listener.

Secrets

The Cloudflare API token is referenced by name (cloudflare-api-token) and committed SOPS-encrypted (WS-SEC, OQ-4, ADR-0007). No plaintext token in git.

TODO (later phases)

  • OQ-4 (resolved to Cloudflare): WS-SEC provisions the scoped Cloudflare token, SOPS-encrypted.
  • Set the ACME account email.
  • Phase 2 (WS-SEC): issue the wildcard cert; prove a trusted, non-self-signed cert at *.home.keithjackson.dev (R-TLS-01/03, Phase-2 exit gate).
