pm-worker's command is pinned by admission with no args, so everything a caller could influence arrives in the environment — and the guards at the top of that script are what stand between an injected variable and a clone from the wrong host or a push to the wrong ref. Nothing exercised them, which makes them a claim rather than a control. probe-validation.sh asserts 17 refusals, each on BOTH a non-zero exit and the specific message, so a guard that stopped firing cannot pass by failing somewhere else. It covers a redirected git host, a real and reachable WRONG one (the egress policy permits tcp/443, so that case is not hypothetical), the right host with a smuggled path, 'main' and five other bad branch shapes, a malformed owner/repo, a bad mode, a bad issue number, and each missing credential. build-image.sh runs it inside the built image too. Writing it found three things: - the PM_BRANCH != main guard is unreachable while the pattern check above it holds, so the comment claiming it as the defence was wrong about which line does the work. Kept as an assertion independent of the regex; the comment now says so. - the EXIT trap ended in a failing test, which under set -e can replace the script's real exit code with that failure. - a provenance LOG LINE read a file through a redirect that set -o pipefail would have turned into a dead worker if the file were absent.

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).

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-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 Phase 7 (Production Readiness) is OPEN and in
progress. clusters/prod is no longer a design-only overlay: prod is the live cluster, serving the
apex home.keithjackson.dev. The dev cluster was decommissioned on 2026-09-12 (full migration:
dev out, prod onto the apex — see the DECISIONS-LOG), so phases 0–6 are now exercised on prod
hardware rather than on Proxmox VMs.
Phase 7 exit criteria — prod runs the same config via the prod overlay; DR proven; monitoring + alerts live:
| criterion | state |
|---|---|
| prod runs the prod overlay | met — 3× mini-PC bare metal, one Flux tree, prod overlay only |
| monitoring + alerts live | met 2026-09-13 — see the note below; this was not true before that date |
| DR proven | R-STATE-03 PROVEN on prod 2026-09-14 — off-cluster restore from Cloudflare R2. R-STATE-02 (node-loss) is still dev-only |
DR restore is proven on prod. R-STATE-03 reads proven in --status as of 2026-09-14 —
the first requirement in this repo to reach that state. Both of its verifiers are recorded:
dr-restore (L3, run 20260914T021505Z-24b8111, sentinel DR_RESTORED_FROM_OFF_CLUSTER_BACKUP_OK)
and placeholder-guard-coupling (L0). The L3 drill seeds a canary on the replicated longhorn
class, backs the namespace and volume data up off-cluster, destroys every in-cluster copy
(namespace, PVC and PV), restores into a clean namespace, and asserts the restored PVC binds a
different PersistentVolume — so an in-cluster survival cannot pass as a restore.
What remains for Phase 7: R-STATE-02 (node-loss) is still proven only on the decommissioned
dev cluster. That drill takes a real node down on a live cluster, so it is a deliberate, scheduled
exercise rather than something to run in passing.
Read --coverage-only and --status as two different questions; the earlier PROVEN: 0 was not a
bug but the honest answer, because proofs are claims about a specific tree on a specific cluster.
| Phase | Delivered |
|---|---|
| 0 Foundations | ServiceDefinition schema + renderer, Kyverno L0 gate, conformance harness, CI |
| 1 Cluster bring-up | 3-node k3s HA, embedded etcd, kube-vip VIP, Cilium, Flux, SOPS. Originally Proxmox VMs; now 3× mini-PC bare metal (k3s-prod-1/2/3, 192.168.2.10/.11/.12, k3s v1.36.4+k3s1, Debian 13) |
| 2 Platform core | Cilium · Longhorn · cert-manager (LE-prod wildcard) · ExternalDNS · Gateway API · split-horizon DNS, both halves: CoreDNS for pods, and PiHole as the authoritative LAN resolver for ${BASE_DOMAIN} on udp/53 + tcp/53 at a pinned VIP (192.168.2.23 on prod). The LAN half was claimed from the start but did not exist until 2026-09-14 — PiHole's Service was ClusterIP :80/:4180, so LAN clients ran on hand-maintained per-client dnsmasq files |
| 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 unblocked 2026-09-13 — backs up to Cloudflare R2 (OQ-BKP closed; the velero-plugin-for-aws tagging incompatibility needed a pinned plugin). Longhorn has no backup target by decision: volume data is protected by Velero + kopia to R2. 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 |
| 7 Production readiness | IN PROGRESS (DR restore proven 2026-09-14; node-loss outstanding). Prod live on bare metal serving the apex; dev decommissioned; CNPG HA 3 instances with primaries spread one per node; NFS bulk media + legacy Nextcloud mounted; VPN egress on prod. Alerting made real 2026-09-13 (Longhorn, cert-manager, Flux and twelve app SLIs had all been unable to fire). Open: node-loss (R-STATE-02) re-proven on prod. |
Conformance: 51 / 51 requirements covered (100%), 0 gaps, 0 safety-critical gaps (closed
2026-09-13; R-C2-01/R-C2-02 were the last two). Regenerate with
./conformance/run.sh --coverage-only; the full report is
conformance/_artifacts/coverage/coverage.md.
Coverage is not proof. A requirement is covered when an executable test exists for it, and
PROVEN only when a recorded run of that test is in conformance/runs/ledger.jsonl at the current
SHA on the cluster it claims. Read both numbers: --coverage-only for the first, --status for the
second.
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.
