jakman85andClaude Opus 5 4080065aa7 feat(dns): exposure: internal can no longer publish a public record
docs/09 R-DNS-03 and schemas/renderer-contract.md both said an `internal`
service renders no public DNS record. Nothing enforced either sentence.
ExternalDNS's `gateway-httproute` source admitted EVERY HTTPRoute on the shared
Gateway, so six `exposure: internal` services — jackett, pihole, qbittorrent,
radarr, semaphore, sonarr — published `<name>.home.keithjackson.dev` into the
public authoritative Cloudflare zone answering with the Gateway VIP
192.168.2.20. That published the internal subnet, the Gateway VIP and a full
service inventory to anyone who could guess a label, and made each of those
names a DNS-rebind primitive — which is why the SOHO router strips RFC1918
answers and LAN clients need per-client dnsmasq overrides to reach their own
services.

THE MECHANISM, established against the DEPLOYED version rather than from
memory. The live prod Deployment runs
registry.k8s.io/external-dns/external-dns:v0.21.0. In v0.21.0,
source/annotations/processors.go IsControllerMismatch() skips a source object
whose `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/controller` annotation is present and
!= its own `dns-controller`, and source/gateway.go applies that check inside
Endpoints() BEFORE any hostname is resolved; source/service.go applies the
identical check, covering the second configured source. catalog/render.py now
emits that annotation on every HTTPRoute it renders for an `internal` service,
derived from `exposure` alone — no per-service list — so a service that omits
`exposure` inherits the internal default and is unpublishable too. Verified
LIVE on prod on a throwaway hostname with no existing record at risk: the
annotated route published nothing, and adding the annotation to a route that
already had a record produced action=DELETE for both its A record and its `a-`
TXT registry entry one ~60s reconcile later, moving nothing else in the zone.

WHY PER-RESOURCE AND NOT A CLUSTER-WIDE OPT-IN FILTER. `labelFilter` is the
stronger default posture and v0.21.0 supports it for both configured sources,
but nine publishing objects here are hand-authored platform/apps manifests with
no `exposure` field, seven of which hold live records (auth, crafty, crafty-mc,
grafana, headlamp, the apex, unifi). An opt-in filter deletes all seven at
once, and whether each should be publicly resolvable is an operator decision
per name. Per-resource exclusion has exactly the blast radius of the defect;
the seven are enumerated in a shrink-only register so the unadjudicated set
cannot grow silently, and the filter stays available as hardening afterwards.

`policy: sync`, `txtOwnerId` and `domainFilters` are UNTOUCHED. Per-resource
exclusion only ever removes an object from this instance's view, so nothing
here makes prod capable of deleting a record it does not own.

WHAT THIS DELETES, and it is not reversible by a revert alone: 12 records — the
A record and the `a-`-prefixed TXT registry entry for each of jackett, pihole,
qbittorrent, radarr, semaphore and sonarr. The zone has no
`*.home.keithjackson.dev` wildcard and `*.keithjackson.dev` does not match two
labels, so each becomes a public NXDOMAIN with no fallback. The complete
pre-state is captured at the authority and committed as a recovery baseline
(.standup-dns/dns-20260914-pre-externaldns-scope.txt), with the restore
procedure for both halves of a record.

MERGE ORDER IS NOT OPTIONAL: feat/pihole-lan-dns-authority must land and be
verified first. Removing these records while the LAN still depends on them,
with the router stripping RFC1918 and no internal authority yet, breaks name
resolution outright.

The five `exposure: public` services are LEFT UNCHANGED and still answer with
the Gateway VIP, so they remain publicly unreachable. That is two open operator
decisions, both written up in platform/externaldns/helmrelease.yaml: what
address they should answer with (136.51.115.252 is the legacy non-k3s stack
serving a placeholder cert, not established as correct for this cluster), and
how to separate them from the non-public names that share the Gateway —
because in v0.21.0 the target annotation is read only from the GATEWAY and a
ListenerSet, never from an HTTPRoute, so a per-service override is not
expressible while they all attach to `shared`. No knob is added for it yet: one
that cannot take effect invites someone to set it and expect one.

Guard: conformance/tests/l0-static/internal-services-publish-no-public-dns, a
whole-repo-scoped L0 static check (no ci/l0.sh stage — the
whole-repo-invariants-wired meta-test forbids one). It asserts both directions
(present on internal, absent on public), the `service`-source half, that the
renderer DERIVES the annotation from `exposure` and cannot emit external-dns's
own claiming value, proves the shipped renderer end-to-end on
internal/public/omitted-field fixtures, and ratchets the non-catalog register.
Proven to fail on the pre-fix tree (9 of 53 assertions, naming all six
services) and pass after (56/56).

Schema 1.6.0 -> 1.7.0: no field changes, a mapping change to `exposure`.

platform/

Cluster-wide platform services, Flux-managed (R-PLAT-01, R-GITOPS-01/02/03). Reconciled by the platform Flux Kustomization defined in clusters/base/platform.yaml, before apps/.

Governing spec: docs/05-gitops-and-delivery.md, docs/01-architecture-overview.md.

Phase 0 scaffolding only. Every component here is a structurally-correct stub — a Flux HelmRelease and/or Kustomization with a values placeholder, a README citing the governing ADR/spec, and TODOs for the phase that fills it in. No cluster exists; nothing reconciles yet. Do not add working config, secrets, or provisioning under Phase 0 (spec AGENTS.md §1/§5/§6, roadmap/phases.md).

Reconciliation flow (how a change lands)

git (source of truth)
   │  operator PR → CI (lint · schema · Kyverno L0 · Chainsaw) → merge to tracked branch
   ▼
Flux GitRepository (clusters/base/flux-system.yaml)
   ▼
Flux Kustomization "platform"  → ./platform  (this dir)     ── substituteFrom cluster-vars ──┐
   │  prune=true (drift correction, R-GITOPS-03) · wait=true                                  │ R-ENV-02
   ▼                                                                                          │
Flux Kustomization "apps"      → ./apps  (dependsOn platform) ─ substituteFrom cluster-vars ──┘

Git is authoritative; the cluster conforms to git and drift is auto-corrected (R-GITOPS-01/03). Manual kubectl apply of platform state is prohibited (spec AGENTS.md §5).

The dev ↔ prod overlay model (R-ENV-02)

Platform manifests are authored once. Every value that legitimately differs between environments is a ${TOKEN} resolved from the cluster-vars ConfigMap via Flux postBuild.substituteFrom. The clusters/dev and clusters/prod overlays differ only by the values they patch into cluster-vars (issuer, replica counts, storage sizes, retention). See clusters/README.md. Base manifests are never forked per environment.

⚠️ INTEGRATION TODO(PM): wire kyverno into the platform kustomization

platform/kyverno/ is authored by a different agent (the policy engineer, WS-TEST). This workstream did not create any files under platform/kyverno/ and must not.

platform/kustomization.yaml intentionally omits - kyverno. Once the policy engineer's files land, the PM must add - kyverno to that list (recommended first, so policies are present before other components reconcile). The line is present as a commented TODO in the kustomization.

Secrets

Every secret referenced below (Cloudflare API token, Velero backup-target creds, Keycloak admin/DB, oauth2-proxy cookie/client secrets) is referenced by name only and will be committed SOPS-encrypted (WS-SEC, ADR-0007). No plaintext secret appears anywhere in this tree.

Cross-workstream contracts surfaced by these stubs

  • cilium (WS-NET ↔ WS-INFRA): Cilium's initial CNI install is done by Ansible at cluster bootstrap (docs/02, Phase 1). The HelmRelease here manages Cilium config thereafter; its Helm values MUST match the Ansible bootstrap values (kubeProxyReplacement, k8sServiceHost/Port, API server host) or reconciliation will fight the bootstrap. Contract owner: WS-NET + WS-INFRA.
  • gateway + cert-manager + externaldns (WS-NET + WS-SEC): the shared Gateway listener, the wildcard *.home.keithjackson.dev cert, and the ExternalDNS source all reference each other; they form the "Issuer + Gateway TLS" interface in roadmap/workstreams.md.
  • image-automation (WS-UPDATE): this dir holds only the cluster-wide ImageUpdateAutomation + git write-back. Per-service ImageRepository/ImagePolicy are rendered from each ServiceDefinition's update block (WS-GITOPS/WS-UPDATE), living with apps/.
  • keycloak/oauth2-proxy (WS-SEC): the SSO/auth contract (auth block → Keycloak client / oauth2-proxy protection) is owned by WS-SEC; these are placeholders pending that contract.
