VMs did not boot on the dev cluster. Three distinct live-verified causes, all fixed GitOps-side: 1. containerDisk root failed at OCI init: exec "/container-disk-binary/usr/bin/container-disk": no such file. KubeVirt v1.9 supplies that binary to the volumerootdisk init container via a k8s-native `image` volume (VolumeSource.Image), gated by the ALPHA `ImageVolume` feature gate. k3s v1.31 has it DISABLED, so the apiserver silently prunes the image volume + its mount -> binary missing -> crash. (Proved: a server-side dry-run of a pod with an `image` volume drops it.) Fix: convert the VM roots in all three tests to CDI DataVolumes imported onto Longhorn PVCs (mounted disks bypass the container-disk/image-volume path). This is also the spec-required disk model (docs/06, R-STATE-01). vm-lifecycle now PASSES green live (VMI Running on start + restart). 2. Guest dropped to emergency mode: the containerdisks/fedora:41 image is UEFI-native (ESP + /boot mounted via systemd GPT auto-discovery); under KubeVirt's SeaBIOS default the ESP+/boot by-uuid mounts time out -> local-fs.target fails -> cloud-init runcmd/poweroff never runs. Fix: boot the VMs with EFI (OVMF, secureBoot:false) in all three tests and fixtures/vm.yaml. Confirmed live: emergency mode gone with EFI. 3. VMs ran under TCG software emulation (guests ~10x slow, saturating nodes until one went NotReady and VMs were evicted). Cause: useEmulation:true in the KubeVirt CR makes virt-controller NOT request devices.kubevirt.io/ kvm, so /dev/kvm is never mounted and qemu falls back to TCG even though all nodes advertise kvm=1k / hypervisor=true. (Proved: `ls /dev/kvm` in a virt-launcher compute container = "No such file"; qemu accel = tcg.) Fix: useEmulation:false so the kvm device is requested and VMs run on real (nested) KVM. Requires Flux reconcile to take effect live (PM action). The virt-handler clientcertificates tls.crt error is UNRELATED: node-labeller (294 labels, hypervisor=true), device plugins, and VMI scheduling all work. Also raised test exec timeouts to 30m (CDI import + boot) and, in vm-default-deny, import the root BEFORE applying the default-deny NetworkPolicy so the CDI importer's egress to quay.io is not severed by the policy.

home-network-k3s-impl
Implementation of the home k3s + Longhorn platform. This repo holds the reconciled artifacts
(Flux config, Kustomize overlays, KubeVirt/Helm manifests, ServiceDefinitions, Kyverno policies,
Chainsaw conformance tests, CI). It is driven by — and subordinate to — the read-only
specification at ../home-network-k3s.
Rules (from the spec — non-negotiable)
- The spec is read-only. Never modify anything under
../home-network-k3s. Implement against it; escalate spec problems, don't edit them (specAGENTS.md§11, R-TEST-06). - Done = a green, reproducible, requirement-tagged conformance test — never "merged," never a
manual demo (spec
docs/14,agents/definition-of-done.md). - No work on
main. Every change is a feature branch merged intomain(specCONTRIBUTING.md). - No plaintext secrets — SOPS-encrypted only (spec
docs/07). - Phase discipline — only build what the active roadmap phase authorizes (spec
roadmap/phases.md).
