jakman85andClaude Opus 5 08fbe85638 fix(ansible): move the founder designation to node 2
Node 1's SSD failed and was replaced; Debian was reinstalled, so node 1 is now a
JOINING node with no cluster state. It was still listed in [k3s_prod_primary],
and that group decides two things at once:

  1. which play gets k3s_server_mode: primary -> --cluster-init, which FOUNDS A
     NEW CLUSTER, and
  2. what k3s_api_host resolves to -- the --server join target.

So re-provisioning node 1 unchanged would have pointed a rebuilt, empty node at
ITSELF and founded a second cluster beside the live one. The role's
`creates: /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml` guard does not help: on a fresh install that
file is absent, so cluster-init WOULD have run.

Node 2 is the senior surviving server (up since 2026-09-01) and takes the founder
slot. Its own cluster-init task is inert precisely because k3s.yaml already exists
there. Verified after the change: k3s_api_host renders 192.168.2.11, and
groups[k3s_primary_group][0] is k3s-prod-2.

This is a latent gap the role documented but did not handle -- its comment assumes
the founder is always alive ('On a WARM single-node rejoin the founder is up and
answering too'). Rebuilding the founder itself was not covered.

# Static inventory — k3s node IPs ALIGNED with infra/tofu defaults (Proxmox migration IPs),
# but the SSH target is the pfSense NAT (see NAT HAND-OFF below) — this file is
# HAND-MAINTAINED and must NOT be regenerated from `tofu output -raw ansible_inventory`.
#
# k3s_primary = the --cluster-init server (embedded-etcd founder + Cilium k8sServiceHost).
# k3s_secondary = the two servers that join it. All three are servers (HA embedded etcd).
#
# NAT HAND-OFF (LIVE): the nodes live on the Proxmox LAN at 192.168.1.50/.51/.52, and
# Ansible reaches them over the pfSense NAT at 192.168.2.102, port-forwarded as
# 2250 -> 192.168.1.50:22, 2251 -> 192.168.1.51:22, 2252 -> 192.168.1.52:22.
# Therefore `ansible_host`/`ansible_port` below are the NAT SSH target (192.168.2.102:225x),
# and each node's REAL 192.168.1.x lives in the `k3s_node_ip` var — consumed for the k3s
# --node-ip, the API/tls-san endpoint (k3s_api_host), and general in-cluster parity.
# This file is HAND-MAINTAINED for the NAT: do NOT blindly regenerate it from
# tofu output -raw ansible_inventory
# because tofu has no knowledge of the pfSense NAT and would overwrite the mapping below.

# `k3s-prod-1` beats a labelled `k3s-prod-3`) and the other carries no traffic. See
# platform/vpn-egress/README.md "Resilience — there is no gateway failover" for the full statement

# PROD (k3s-prod-*) — Phase 7 PREP ONLY. See infra/PROD-PROVISIONING.md (T-7.1,
# especially §5/§6) and DECISIONS-LOG.md "PHASE 7 OPENED" (2026-08-31). ALL THREE
# nodes are now on the bench and SSH-reachable (`k3s-prod-1` 2026-08-31, `k3s-prod-2`
# 2026-09-01, `k3s-prod-3` 2026-09-03) — every HP EliteDesk 800 G5 Mini. This section
# is still inventory/group_vars scaffolding only: nothing beyond the read-only health
# check and the node-baseline PACKAGE floor has been run, and the operator has decided
# the CLUSTER stays uninitialized (no k3s install, no --cluster-init) until the §2 disk
# decision is closed (decision #2 in the DECISIONS-LOG entry above) — no
# single-server-etcd window, no later member-add dance.
#
# KEY DIFFERENCE FROM DEV: prod sits DIRECTLY on the 192.168.2.x LAN — no pfSense NAT
# hop in front of it. Dev's `ansible_host` above is a NAT target (192.168.2.102:225x)
# that port-forwards to the node's real 192.168.1.x address, which is why dev also
# carries a separate `k3s_node_ip` per host. Prod needs no such split: `ansible_host`
# below IS already the node's real, routable address, so `k3s_node_ip` is set to the
# SAME value (kept explicit, not omitted, only so the k3s_server role's hostvar lookup
# — see the GAP note below — has something correct to find once that gap is closed).
# `ansible_port` is the node's own real sshd (22). See group_vars/k3s_prod/vars.yml for
# the k3s_api_host override that reflects this directly-reachable topology.
#
# GROUP-NAME GAP: CLOSED 2026-08-31. The roles and playbooks used to hardcode the
# LITERAL dev groups (`hosts: k3s_servers` / `k3s_primary` / `k3s_secondary`, and
# `groups['k3s_primary']` inside roles/k3s_server + roles/cilium), so nothing could
# select the k3s_prod_* groups below. Both halves are now variables, deliberately kept
# separate because Ansible resolves them at different times:
# * WHICH HOSTS A PLAY RUNS ON — `k3s_hosts` (whole-cluster plays), `k3s_primary_hosts`
# / `k3s_secondary_hosts` (k3s.yml's split), each defaulting to the dev group.
# EXTRA VARS ONLY: a play's `hosts:` is templated before any host exists, so
# group_vars cannot be read there. Prod: `-e k3s_hosts=k3s_prod` etc.
# * WHICH GROUP A ROLE MEANS BY "MY PRIMARY"/"MY SERVERS" — `k3s_primary_group` /
# `k3s_servers_group`, set in group_vars/all.yml (dev) and group_vars/k3s_prod/vars.yml
# (prod), so roles resolve their own environment with NO per-run flag — the same
# mechanism k3s_api_host already used.
# Running with no extra vars is byte-for-byte the dev behaviour it always had. See
# infra/ansible/README.md "Targeting prod" and PROD-PROVISIONING.md §6.
