Minimal prod delivery, authored directly on main (= prod's live revision d1a6628)
rather than by merging work/prod-standup-campaign. That branch carries the DNS apex
inversion, which would have set prod's BASE_DOMAIN to home.keithjackson.dev; prod
runs external-dns with policy: sync and txtOwnerId: prod, so it would have begun
rewriting apex records dev owns while the non-k3s prod still serves 443 there.
Operator sequencing is "dev migrates first". Nothing under clusters/ is touched
here at all, which is what makes this safe to land now.
Also deliberately EXCLUDED, because prod's live cluster-vars has no CNPG_BACKUP_PATH
key and StrictPostBuildSubstitutions would fail the whole tier: the R2 rework of
platform/velero/ and the CNPG destinationPath changes. Those land as
feat/r2-backup-prod together with the endpoint and bucket knobs.
WHAT THIS FIXES
1. Nothing was watching CNPG. All three prod databases have run since bootstrap with
ContinuousArchiving=False and firstRecoverabilityPoint=null, and no alert existed
anywhere. Because archive_mode=on and the archive command fails, Postgres refuses
to recycle WAL: keycloak-db holds every segment ever written (257 MiB on a 5 GiB
volume, ~6.8 MiB/h) — roughly 29 days to a disk-full PANIC on the cluster's SSO
database. Found by hand, 38h late. CNPGWALArchiveBacklog would have fired within
the hour, and evaluates to 3 firing series on prod today.
Rules key on cnpg_collector_* rather than cnpg_pg_stat_archiver_*, because
nextcloud-db's exporter cannot log in to its own database (permission denied for
database "nextcloud", both clusters) so the pg_stat_archiver family does not exist
for it — the obvious metric would have been blind to one database in three.
2. No PVC outside namespace=monitoring had any fill alert. New rules are partitioned
by namespace so they cannot double-fire with MonitoringVolumeFillingUp, pinned to
job="kubelet" (the apiserver copy of the same series reports namespace=default),
and guarded by inodes > 0 — block-mode PVCs such as unifi-rootdisk report
available=0 forever and would otherwise have fired critical permanently.
3. VPNTunnelDown could never clear on a cluster with no gateway node; it has been
firing critical on prod since 2026-09-05. Now guarded so prod self-arms the moment
a node carries the egress-gateway label, with dev's behaviour unchanged today.
4. The Keycloak realm import fails OPEN: an unresolved placeholder is stored
LITERALLY and the import still reports success, then sits at Done=True and never
re-runs. On 2026-09-06 all 12 prod OIDC clients held the literal
$(env:..._CLIENT_SECRET) string and every SSO login failed, while every signal was
green. The CronJob is the level-triggered correction; two alerts make its silence
observable. Repaired live already — this stops it recurring.
Also: the R-NET-04 conformance scan descended into nested agent worktrees under
.claude/, counting 4 egress policies where 1 is authored.

platform/cnpg
CloudNativePG — the PostgreSQL operator that runs Keycloak's DR-critical database.
- Governing ADR: ADR-0014 — IdP: Keycloak
- Serves: R-IDP-05 (DR-critical datastore), supports R-IDP-01
- Owner: WS-SEC
Why CNPG (not the Bitnami-bundled Postgres)
The original Keycloak stub used the Bitnami Keycloak chart with a bundled Bitnami PostgreSQL. Bitnami's free Docker Hub images were purged/relocated (DECISIONS-LOG F-KY1) — a deploy on stock Bitnami tags ImagePullBackOffs. CloudNativePG:
- ships from ghcr.io/cloudnative-pg (unaffected by the Bitnami purge),
- runs Postgres as a replicated
Clusteron Longhorn (3 instances → survives node loss), - gives declarative backup/restore (
ScheduledBackup+ Barman object store) — the clean DR hook for R-IDP-05 (off-cluster backup) once the backup target lands (OQ-BKP, Phase 4).
Controllers/configs split (F-MON1)
This directory installs only the operator + CRDs (controllers). The keycloak database Cluster
CR lives in ../../platform-config
(dependsOn: platform, wait) so the postgresql.cnpg.io CRDs exist before the CR applies.
