qBittorrent was the one member of the download chain with NO media volume.
Its live config said
Session\DefaultSavePath=/downloads/
Session\TempPath=/downloads/incomplete/
Downloads\SavePath=/downloads/
while `ls /downloads` in the container returned "No such file or directory".
The catalog entry declared exactly one volume — config at /config on longhorn —
and carried a comment deferring the downloads volume "until OQ-2 is resolved".
OQ-2 WAS resolved (schema 1.5.0 static bulk NFS PVs); plex, sonarr, radarr and
nextcloud all took their mounts and qBittorrent's was simply never added. So the
download client was writing, or failing to write, a path that did not exist —
and anything it did create would have been invisible to sonarr/radarr, lost on
every pod recreation, and consuming the node's ephemeral disk until then.
WHAT THIS ADDS to catalog/qbittorrent.yaml (rendered into apps/wave-0):
* storage[downloads]: class bulk, export /mnt/Storage/plex, subPath downloads,
mountPath /downloads, 9Ti advisory. ONE mount of the SAME export sonarr,
radarr (rw) and plex (ro) already consume, narrowed to the handoff subtree.
* env PUID=1000 / PGID=3000. LOAD-BEARING, not cosmetic: the container ran as
uid 911 and /mnt/Storage/plex/downloads is 0755 owned 1000:1000, so the
export would have mounted cleanly and then failed every write with EACCES.
Measured both ways on prod: a write as uid 1000 succeeded, the same write as
uid 911 was denied.
* podSecurityContext.fsGroup 3000, for the LONGHORN config PVC only, exactly as
sonarr/radarr set it — fsGroup is a no-op on an in-tree NFS volume.
WHY subPath AND NOT THE EXPORT ROOT AT /media (sonarr/radarr's shape): a download
client has no business writing the library. The arrs need the root mount because
THEY hardlink downloads/ -> tv/|movies/ and link() is a same-MOUNT operation;
qBittorrent performs no such link, so narrowing to downloads/ removes movies/,
tv/ and photos/ from its mount namespace without removing any operation it
performs. It is still ONE mount of the export, so the L0 assertion that no
workload mounts one export twice (the EXDEV trap) holds — and the arrs' own
link() stays intra-mount. Proven live: nlink 1 -> 2, same inode, no EXDEV, every
step executed as uid 1000.
NETWORK: nothing to grant and nothing to steer. An NFS PersistentVolume is
mounted by the NODE KERNEL in the host netns — the established socket to
192.168.2.102:2049 is on the node's own LAN address, the pod netns has no socket
to 2049 at all, and no CiliumNetworkPolicy on this cluster names that host or
port. `ip route get 192.168.2.102` picks eno1 even on the tunnel-owning node, and
Cilium's own egress map lists 192.168.0.0/16 as an Excluded CIDR for every
vpn-class pod while 0.0.0.0/0 goes to the gateway. Public egress still exits the
PIA address; the VPN guarantee is untouched.
NOT CLOSED BY THIS COMMIT, deliberately: absolute paths still differ between this
pod (/downloads/x) and the arrs (/media/downloads/x), so Completed Download
Handling needs one Remote Path Mapping per arr. That lives in the arrs' own
databases, not in git.

apps
App-tier manifests, rendered from catalog/*.yaml ServiceDefinitions by catalog/render.py
and split into dependency-ordered waves (wave-<N>/).
- Each
wave-<N>/is reconciled by its own Flux Kustomizationapps-wave-<N>(clusters/base/apps-wave-<N>.yaml), whichdependsOnwave N-1 (wave 0 dependsOnplatform-config) and health-gates (wait: true) ONLY that wave. A crashlooping workload in a later wave can no longer stall an earlier wave or block new revisions. wave-<N>/kustomization.yamlandclusters/base/apps-wave-<N>.yamlare generated — runpython3 catalog/render.py --emit-wavesafter onboarding a service; do not hand-edit them.- Wave assignment = longest dependency-path depth over the catalog
dependencies:graph; a co-located CNPG database<svc>-dbis a leaf and always lands strictly below its consumer.
