jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 960cab937b fix(flux): move oauth2-proxy to a post-platform tier (dependsOn platform-config)
oauth2-proxy is a leaf forward-auth service that depends on Keycloak +
trusted wildcard TLS + split-horizon DNS. It lived in the gating `platform`
Flux Kustomization (wait:true), so on a cold start it Failed until those
dependencies existed, keeping the whole `platform` tier not-Ready. That in
turn blocked `platform-config` — which brings up the very Keycloak instance,
wildcard Certificate and L2 VIP oauth2-proxy needs (and previously carried
oauth2-proxy's own httproute/servicemonitor) — from ever reconciling. A
self-gating cold-start deadlock, twice-proven (DECISIONS-LOG sessions 7 & 9).

Break the cycle by moving the whole oauth2-proxy component out of the
`platform` tier into its own non-gating post-platform Flux Kustomization:

- clusters/base/oauth2-proxy.yaml: new Kustomization -> ./platform/oauth2-proxy,
  dependsOn platform-config, wait:false, substituteFrom cluster-vars.
- clusters/base/kustomization.yaml: reference the new Kustomization.
- platform/kustomization.yaml: drop the oauth2-proxy component (no longer in
  the gating tier).
- platform/oauth2-proxy/kustomization.yaml: pull in httproute + servicemonitor
  so the full component travels together.
- platform-config/kustomization.yaml: drop the in-place oauth2-proxy
  httproute/servicemonitor refs (moved with the controller).
- clusters/dev/kustomization.yaml: add the SOPS decryption patch for the new
  oauth2-proxy Kustomization (it now owns the encrypted credentials Secret that
  the `platform` Kustomization used to decrypt).

Now `platform` reaches Ready without oauth2-proxy; platform-config brings up
Keycloak/TLS/DNS; then oauth2-proxy reconciles against dependencies that
already exist. wait:false guarantees its health can never gate anything above
it. No config of oauth2-proxy itself changed — only its reconciliation tier.

platform/oauth2-proxy

oauth2-proxy — forward-auth at the Gateway for apps without usable OIDC, authenticating against Keycloak.

What this stub is

Flux HelmRelease for oauth2-proxy as the forward-auth provider for non-OIDC apps (PiHole, *arr UIs, qBittorrent, Homepage, Prometheus, Alertmanager, Hubble UI — ADR-0014). Replica count is an overlay knob (${OAUTH2_PROXY_REPLICAS}, R-ENV-02). Client/cookie secrets referenced by name, SOPS-encrypted (WS-SEC).

Contract (SSO/auth + Gateway)

Pairs with ../keycloak to realize the "SSO/auth contract": a ServiceDefinition auth: forward-auth service is protected by oauth2-proxy at the Gateway (ext-auth); auth: oidc services go native to Keycloak. Gateway ext-auth wiring is a WS-NET contract.

TODO (later phases — Phase 6)

  • OIDC issuer URL to the Keycloak realm; client registration.
  • Gateway forward-auth / ext-authz wiring (WS-NET); group-based authorization; MFA enforced in Keycloak upstream.
