Dev is decommissioned and has released the name. Prerequisites completed and
verified BEFORE this flip:
1. dev's 18 A records released by its own external-dns (policy=sync; sources
deleted after suspending dev's Flux so they could not be recreated).
2. dev's 18 LEGACY UNPREFIXED TXT registry entries deleted from Cloudflare by
hand. external-dns v0.21.0 deleted only the `a-` prefixed form and then logged
"All records are already up to date" — it would NEVER have cleared the older
unprefixed format it no longer writes but still READS for compatibility. They
carried `owner=default`; prod runs `owner=prod`, so prod could not have
claimed these names while they existed. This was the real blocker, and it was
invisible until measured.
3. dev's `*.home.keithjackson.dev` + apex Certificate deleted so it stops
renewing. Issued ~18d ago, so prod's request is #1 this week against LE's
duplicate limit (5 per identical name set per week).
Verified at the AUTHORITY (betty.ns.cloudflare.com), not via a resolver: 1.1.1.1
served stale TXT for minutes after deletion and would have shown a false failure.
UNCHANGED, deliberately: EXTERNALDNS_TXT_OWNER_ID stays `prod` — giving prod
`default` would let it adopt and sync-delete records it does not own, which is the
2026-09-04 incident. EXTERNALDNS_DOMAIN_FILTER stays the ZONE `keithjackson.dev`:
finding F-DNS1 proved a strict subdomain filter drops the hosted zone and external-dns
then publishes NOTHING.
The zone has wildcards `*.keithjackson.dev` and `*.home.keithjackson.dev` pointing at
the public IP (legacy non-k3s prod). Dev's specific records were shadowing the latter;
prod's new specific records shadow it again. The legacy stack lives on
`*.keithjackson.dev` and is untouched.
k3s_base_domain moves with it to hold the [parity] contract, but that value renders
the apiserver's install-time oidc-issuer-url: it does NOT take effect until the
k3s_server role re-renders config.yaml and k3s is restarted serial: 1. Until then the
apiserver trusts the OLD issuer while Keycloak serves the NEW one, so kubectl OIDC
fails in that window. Cert-based kubeconfigs are unaffected.

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.
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.
