jakman85 3a88abb958 docs(prod): iGPU ruled out as the cause; CORRECT my last_pfn misreading
Operator asked whether node 2's missing memory could be reserved for integrated graphics.
TESTED, and no: /proc/iomem shows 'c8800000-cc7fffff : Graphics Stolen Memory' = EXACTLY 64 MiB,
matching the BIOS Video Memory Size=64 MB setting, and it sits BELOW the 4 GiB line. The UHD 630
(i915 bound) takes precisely what it is configured to take. It cannot account for 13.3 GiB and is
not even in the affected address range.

CORRECTION to my own analysis, prompted by checking that hypothesis properly: I cited the
'last_pfn revised DOWN from 0x42f800 to 0xc3c10' line as evidence of a memory cap. That was a
MISREADING. x86 boot prints last_pfn twice — first max_pfn from the full e820, then max_low_pfn,
the end of RAM below 4 GiB. The e820 low usable region ends at 0xc3c0ffff, so the next PFN is
exactly 0xc3c10, which is the second value observed. It matches to the byte and is normal on any
machine with more than 4 GiB. I presented a routine boot message as a smoking gun, and the
'memory remapping above 4 GB not being applied' signature claim rested partly on it.

The real anomaly is narrower than first stated: the Normal zone is 'present' but 'managed 0',
13.3 GiB is reserved, and nothing in the boot log explains by what. Ruled out so far: DIMM health,
firmware inventory, memory-remap settings (none exist on this platform), MTRR trim, iomem
registration, and now integrated graphics. Leading remaining hypothesis is stale memory-training
data cached by Fast Boot — testable with one F10 toggle.

Serves: R-ENV-03. Task: T-7.1.

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 (spec AGENTS.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 into main (spec CONTRIBUTING.md).
  • No plaintext secrets — SOPS-encrypted only (spec docs/07).
  • Phase discipline — only build what the active roadmap phase authorizes (spec roadmap/phases.md).

Layout

infra/          node provisioning: OpenTofu (Proxmox VE) + cloud-init + Ansible, and the
                pinned dev container that carries the whole toolchain
bootstrap/      one-time cluster bootstrap: Flux install, SOPS/age key, host Gitea
platform/       platform CONTROLLERS (Flux HelmReleases / operator bases): kyverno, cilium,
                longhorn, external-snapshotter, cert-manager, externaldns, gateway, coredns,
                vpn-egress, monitoring, cnpg, keycloak, oauth2-proxy, kubevirt
platform-config/ platform CONFIGS — the custom resources of the CRDs installed above
                (ClusterIssuers, Gateway, Kyverno policies, KubeVirt/CDI CRs, Keycloak CRs).
                Split out because CRs and the CRDs they use cannot apply in one pass.
apps/           application tier, reconciled as dependency-ordered WAVES:
                  wave-0/ wave-1/ wave-2/   rendered container apps (see DESIGN-waves.md)
                  vms/                      KubeVirt VirtualMachines (non-gating tier)
catalog/        ServiceDefinition entries (the onboarding surface) + render.py
schemas/        ServiceDefinition JSON Schema + renderer contract
clusters/       Flux entrypoints + dev/ and prod/ overlays
conformance/    Chainsaw behavior/conformance suite + harness + coverage report
ci/             the gate as scripts (lint · schema · Kyverno L0 · L1 render · decision)
.gitea/         Gitea Actions CI running that gate on an in-cluster runner

Status

Roadmap phases 0–6 are delivered and deployed on the dev cluster; Phase 7 (prod) is not open — clusters/prod is a design-only overlay.

Phase Delivered
0 Foundations ServiceDefinition schema + renderer, Kyverno L0 gate, conformance harness, CI
1 Cluster bring-up 3-node k3s HA on Proxmox VE (192.168.1.50/.51/.52), Cilium, Flux, SOPS
2 Platform core Cilium · Longhorn · cert-manager (LE-prod wildcard) · ExternalDNS · Gateway API · split-horizon CoreDNS
3 Egress / VPN ADR-0015 node-level OpenVPN split-tunnel + Cilium egress-gateway steering + host kill-switch
4 Observability kube-prometheus-stack · Loki · Alloy · Alertmanager. Velero still blocked on OQ-BKP; image-automation authored but disabled
5 IaaS KubeVirt + CDI on real nested KVM; live-migratable RWX VM storage. The UniFi VM runs, but UniFi OS Server is not yet installed in the guest
6 Identity + CI Keycloak (Operator + CNPG) · oauth2-proxy forward-auth · Grafana OIDC · kubectl OIDC SSO with group→RBAC · in-cluster Gitea Actions merge gate

Conformance: 36 / 51 requirements covered (70.6%), 15 gaps, 1 safety-critical gap (R-STATE-02, Longhorn node-loss). Regenerate with ./conformance/run.sh --coverage-only; the full report is conformance/_artifacts/coverage/coverage.md.

The running narrative — decisions, root causes, incidents, follow-ups — is DECISIONS-LOG.md. It, not this table, is the authoritative record.

Working on this repo

Everything the gate needs is baked into the pinned dev container — do not install the toolchain on the host:

infra/devcontainer/dev.sh build            # once
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh run make -C ci gate   # the same gate CI runs
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh                  # interactive shell (sops, flux, kubectl, tofu, ansible)

The container mounts the repo at /work, your age keyring, and the sibling spec repo read-only so the spec-immutability check can actually run. See infra/devcontainer/README.md.

A green run prints MERGE GATE: PASS. The L2/L3 conformance layers stay SKIPPED unless CLUSTER_AVAILABLE=true — the static gate never pretends to have run them.
