Three instances replicating ASYNCHRONOUSLY still lose data on failover: COMMIT returns as soon as the primary has flushed locally, so a primary that dies before its standbys catch up takes the last few transactions with it and the promoted standby comes up quietly missing them. On keycloak-db that is a just-created user, a rotated credential or a consent vanishing at exactly the moment of a failover. `method: any` + `number: 1` makes COMMIT wait for ONE of the two standbys to confirm — the point of having them. dataDurability: preferred, NEVER required. `required` is a strict quorum: fewer than `number` healthy standbys and writes BLOCK. Postgres here shares three nodes with etcd and the CNI, so one degraded standby — a node reboot, a Longhorn replica rebuild, a Cilium restart — would turn a partial degradation into a total write outage, and on the SSO database that takes kubectl OIDC, Grafana, Headlamp, Gitea and forward-auth with it. `preferred` keeps synchronous commit while a healthy standby is there and relaxes the required count dynamically when one is not. dataDurability is only honoured while standbyNamesPre/standbyNamesPost are unset — both are. NON-DISRUPTIVE: this compiles to `synchronous_standby_names`, a reload-only PostgreSQL parameter. No pod restart, no switchover, no client disconnect. It is the last of the three commits because it wants standbys that already exist and are already on their final nodes. Field shape verified against the live clusters.postgresql.cnpg.io CRD before relying on it (CNPG 1.30.0, byte-identical schema on k3s-prod and k3s-dev): spec.postgresql.synchronous requires `method` (enum any|first) and `number` (x-kubernetes-validation self > 0); `dataDurability` is enum required| preferred. None of the three Clusters previously had a `postgresql:` block, so this adds one rather than merging into existing parameters. DEV IMPACT: identical and non-disruptive, same reload-only path. Verified: yamllint clean; both tiers render the block. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]> (cherry picked from commit f1ce19461415e77eb2f1ca5109ebab49edf0860b)
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

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.devcert, and the ExternalDNS source all reference each other; they form the "Issuer + Gateway TLS" interface inroadmap/workstreams.md. - image-automation (WS-UPDATE): this dir holds only the cluster-wide ImageUpdateAutomation +
git write-back. Per-service
ImageRepository/ImagePolicyare rendered from each ServiceDefinition'supdateblock (WS-GITOPS/WS-UPDATE), living withapps/. - keycloak/oauth2-proxy (WS-SEC): the SSO/auth contract (
authblock → Keycloak client / oauth2-proxy protection) is owned by WS-SEC; these are placeholders pending that contract.
