jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 d06947cbfd feat(gitops): self-managing root Kustomization (fixes F-OPS1)

The on-cluster cluster-vars ConfigMap wasn't reconciled by Flux — this bootstrap
model had no Kustomization watching clusters/dev, so cluster-vars/overlay changes
needed a manual 'kubectl apply -k clusters/dev' (e.g. DNS_ZONE substituted empty
until re-applied). Add clusters/dev/sync.yaml: a self-managing root Kustomization
(flux2 gotk-sync pattern, name flux-system) that reconciles ./clusters/dev from git
— cluster-vars, the GitRepository, platform/platform-config/apps, and itself. A git
push now suffices. Bootstrap unchanged ('kubectl apply -k clusters/dev' creates it
once). Verified: dev build contains all 6 objects (root + existing), prod unaffected.

README.md

clusters/

Flux entrypoints and the environment-overlay model (R-ENV-02, R-GITOPS-01/02/03).

Governing spec: docs/05-gitops-and-delivery.md, docs/02-environments-and-provisioning.md, ADR-0004 (Flux).

Phase 0 scaffolding only. These are structurally-correct stubs. No cluster exists — nothing here reconciles until WS-INFRA delivers a cluster and bootstraps Flux (roadmap Phase 1).

Layout — base + overlay (never fork the base)

clusters/
  base/                 shared Flux objects (one authoring, both environments)
    flux-system.yaml    GitRepository — the reconciliation source (bootstrap → Gitea)
    platform.yaml       Flux Kustomization → ./platform   (reconciles first)
    apps.yaml           Flux Kustomization → ./apps        (dependsOn platform)
    cluster-vars.yaml   ConfigMap of overlay knobs (BASE defaults)
    kustomization.yaml
  dev/                  ACTIVE build target — patches cluster-vars with dev values only
    kustomization.yaml
  prod/                 DESIGN-ONLY until roadmap Phase 7 — patches cluster-vars with prod values only
    kustomization.yaml

How the overlay model satisfies R-ENV-02

The base authors the reconciliation graph once. platform.yaml and apps.yaml (Flux Kustomizations) both declare postBuild.substituteFrom the cluster-vars ConfigMap. Platform and app manifests use ${TOKEN} placeholders for every value that legitimately differs between environments (issuer, replica counts, storage sizes, retention, node placement).

clusters/dev and clusters/prod differ ONLY by the values they patch into cluster-vars — they add no resources of their own and never copy/fork a base manifest. Promotion to prod (docs/02) is a change to the prod overlay's variables, nothing else.

How Flux is pointed at an environment

flux bootstrap (run by WS-INFRA in Phase 1) targets one environment's path per cluster:

# dev cluster
flux bootstrap ... --path=clusters/dev
# prod cluster (Phase 7 only — design-only until then)
flux bootstrap ... --path=clusters/prod

Bootstrap materializes the flux-system Kustomization that renders the chosen overlay, which pulls in base/ and applies the env-scoped cluster-vars.

Reconciliation order

GitRepository (flux-system)
        │
        ▼
Kustomization: platform  (./platform, substituteFrom cluster-vars)
        │  healthy
        ▼
Kustomization: apps      (./apps, dependsOn platform, substituteFrom cluster-vars)

apps dependsOn platform so CNI/storage/TLS/DNS/gateway exist before any workload reconciles.

TODOs (later phases — do not action in Phase 0)

Source cutover (WS-GITOPS, Phase 6): base/flux-system.yaml currently points at the bootstrap source. After Gitea is onboarded, repoint spec.url to gitea.home.keithjackson.dev and keep an off-cluster mirror (spec docs/05 "Source-of-truth", CONTRIBUTING.md).
SOPS decryption (WS-SEC, Phase 1): add spec.decryption.provider: sops (age secret name only, never plaintext) to the platform/apps Kustomizations once the age key is bootstrapped (ADR-0007).
Split ordered Flux Kustomizations if intra-platform ordering needs to be explicit (e.g. a separate cilium/longhorn Kustomization others dependsOn).
