The first real enrolment failed:
$ ./infra/vpn-ingress/new-peer.sh keith-phone 2
new-peer.sh: 10.90.0.2/32 is already allocated ... Pick another octet.
Nothing was allocated -- peers.yaml had zero peers, as the pod's init
container reported (`0 peer(s)`). The duplicate-address check grepped the
whole file, and peers.yaml line 66 is a COMMENTED-OUT example stanza I wrote
containing literally `# AllowedIPs = 10.90.0.2/32`. So .2 -- the first
address anyone would ask for, and the one my own runbook uses as its example
-- was permanently un-allocatable, with a message asserting the opposite of
the truth.
Fixed on both sides, because either alone leaves the trap half-set:
* the check strips comment lines before matching, which is the correct
predicate rather than a patch: a real stanza's AllowedIPs line is never
commented, while the template and every peer's `# <name> — <owner>` label
always are.
* the example now uses placeholders that cannot match anything real
(`10.90.0.<octet>/32`, `<device-name>`), so a future grep cannot be fooled
by it either.
The bug class is worth naming: a documentation example that is byte-identical
to real data will eventually be parsed as real data. This is its third
instance in this component -- flux-postbuild-substitution flagged a `${...}`
written inside a comment explaining that hazard, and no-plaintext-secrets
flagged the .sops.yaml.example because a kustomization named it in a comment.
Make examples structurally unmatchable, not merely commented out.
Verified by running it: .2 now renders a profile (via the real
`sops -d | wg pubkey` path, which this also proves against the operator's
actual key for the first time), and an uncommented duplicate stanza is still
correctly refused.
No sensitive paths; merges on a green gate.
