`platform-config` applied the CDI CR *and* cdi-storageprofiles.yaml in ONE pass.
StorageProfile's CRD does not exist until cdi-operator reconciles that CR, and
Flux server-side dry-runs every object before applying any — so the unknown kind
aborted the tier, the CR was never applied, the CRD was never created, and the
tier could NEVER converge. Observed on prod: cdi-operator Available 12h, no CDI
CR, no storageprofiles CRD, every downstream tier blocked.
The profiles now live in their own tier ./platform-config-cdi with
dependsOn: platform-config and wait: true. Because dependsOn is REVISION-gated
and platform-config runs wait: true, the CDI CR must be applied AND healthy —
exactly the event that creates the CRD — before the profiles are applied. Cold
clusters order themselves. `standup.sh crds` is retained as a fallback for
clusters already stuck, and because it is idempotent.
THE GENERALISABLE RULE (recorded in clusters/README.md): a CR whose CRD is
created by a CONTROLLER AT RUNTIME is second-order and needs its own pass.
cdi-operator.yaml registers exactly ONE CRD (cdis.cdi.kubevirt.io); storageprofiles,
datavolumes, datasources and dataimportcrons appear only after it reconciles the
CDI CR. An audit found StorageProfile is the only second-order kind in
platform-config — KubeVirt, CDI, KeycloakRealmImport, CNPG Cluster,
VolumeSnapshotClass, ClusterIssuer, PrometheusRule, ServiceMonitor and the Cilium
L2 CRs all have their CRD in git or in a chart.
Moving the CDI CR up into `platform` was rejected: that would put CDI's health on
the tier the CNI gates and everything waits on — the mistake the oauth2-proxy and
headlamp splits exist to undo.
apps-vms gains dependsOn: platform-config-cdi. LOAD-BEARING, not cosmetic:
apps/vms/unifi/20-datavolume.yaml provisions on storageClassName: longhorn-vm and
its comment claimed platform-config guaranteed the profiles — which this move
would have silently falsified.
THE PRUNE TRANSIENT, MEASURED RATHER THAN ASSUMED. platform-config has
prune: true, so it deletes both profiles once, CDI recreates them with empty spec,
and the new tier re-applies the overrides ~30-60s later. Compared our override
against CDI's unaided inference for the same Longhorn provisioner on dev:
longhorn-vm (we override) spec RWX/Block -> status ReadWriteMany/Block
longhorn-static (no override) spec unset -> status ReadWriteOnce/Block
Both infer cloneStrategy: snapshot. So cloneStrategy is NOT at risk; accessModes
IS — unaided CDI gives RWO. A DataVolume provisioned on longhorn-vm inside the
window would be stamped RWO/Block and be PERMANENTLY non-live-migratable. Flux can
no longer cause it (apps-vms gates on the new tier); a human must not do it by hand.
Corroborating evidence that the recreate happens at all: dev has 5 StorageClasses
and 5 StorageProfiles, three with fluxOwner=NONE, spec unset and status populated
— CDI creating and inferring them with no Flux involvement.
MERGE PRECONDITION: `flux get kustomization platform-config` must be Ready on the
target first. If it is not, the profiles are pruned and sit at CDI defaults until
it recovers — and prod was in that state hours earlier. Fallback is the two-step
the Cilium move used (merge with prune: false, verify the ownership label moved,
restore prune: true).
substituteFrom: cluster-vars is declared even though the manifest has no ${TOKEN},
deliberately: conformance/tests/l0-static/flux-postbuild-substitution only audits
paths whose Kustomization declares it, so omitting it would move the file OUT of
the audited set — a blind spot for a future literal-token ship. Gate confirms it
stayed in (path=./platform-config-cdi files=2 defined=0 hazards=0). No SOPS
decryption stanza: the moved file is two plain CRs, so no overlay change was needed.
VERIFIED INDEPENDENTLY OF THE AGENT: platform-config renders 0 StorageProfile
while keeping the CDI and KubeVirt CRs; platform-config-cdi renders exactly the
two profiles; the graph is byte-identical across dev and prod with apps-vms
carrying both edges and no cycle. Full CI gate PASS.
KNOWN FOLLOW-UP: bootstrap/standup.sh TIER_ORDER does not yet include
platform-config-cdi, so `resume` will not wait on it. Another agent holds that
file; the PM will add it.

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.

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.
