Semaphore's whole SEMAPHORE_OIDC_PROVIDERS JSON blob lived inside the SOPS-encrypted
semaphore-bootstrap Secret (key `oidc-providers-json`) because it CONTAINS the confidential
client secret. That buried two environment-specific, NON-SECRET URLs in ciphertext —
provider_url (the realm issuer) and redirect_url — where Flux's ${BASE_DOMAIN} postBuild
substitution cannot reach. Both were frozen at `home.keithjackson.dev`, so prod's Semaphore
was pointed at dev's Keycloak and dev's own redirect URI: identical root cause to the
Headlamp login timeout, not yet reported only because nobody had tried prod SSO.
FIX: split the blob. The URLs are public and now live as a plaintext literal in
catalog/semaphore.yaml (rendered to the apps/wave-1 golden), ${BASE_DOMAIN}-substituted like
every other hostname. Only the client secret stays encrypted, in its own key
`oidc-client-secret`, and the KUBELET splices it back via dependent-env-var expansion:
$(SEMAPHORE_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET) resolves against the secretKeyRef env var declared
immediately above it (order is load-bearing — the kubelet resolves env in list order and
leaves a forward reference as literal text).
Verified: the new key holds the same value as keycloak-realm-clients/semaphore-client-secret
(the mirror invariant), Semaphore v2.19.10's util.OidcProvider consumes client_secret as
before, and `flux envsubst --strict` leaves $(...) untouched while resolving ${BASE_DOMAIN} —
dev renders keycloak.home.keithjackson.dev, prod keycloak.prod.home.keithjackson.dev.
apps/wave-1/semaphore.yaml is a render golden; regenerated with the canonical
`catalog/render.py --all catalog -o apps --wave-layout --no-image-automation`.

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 (specAGENTS.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 intomain(specCONTRIBUTING.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.

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.
