jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 1a98429434 feat(phase3): author shared VPN egress gateway (Gluetun/PIA/WireGuard) — author-first
Per ADR-0013: platform/vpn-egress/ = a single shared Gluetun gateway (PIA over WireGuard,
built-in kill-switch FIREWALL=on, native port forwarding), namespace (non-app, NET_ADMIN +
/dev/net/tun), control-API Service, and a pre-wired (commented) pia-credentials SOPS line.
Defined the PIA secret location (platform/vpn-egress, keys username/password → OPENVPN_USER/
OPENVPN_PASSWORD) and updated the SOPS template accordingly.

NOT wired into platform/kustomization.yaml (Phase 3, author-first) — deploy needs PIA creds +
validation of the egress-steering mechanism (Cilium Egress Gateway → the Gluetun node's wg0;
documented in README with options + a fail-closed rationale, deliberately NOT committed as an
untested CiliumEgressGatewayPolicy). WireGuard chosen (UDP, protocol != TCP); PIA supports it on
all regions and the secret stays username/password.

# Gluetun — the single shared in-cluster VPN egress gateway (ADR-0013): PIA over WireGuard, with
# Gluetun's built-in kill-switch/firewall (fail-closed), health checks, auto-reconnect, and native
# port forwarding for qBittorrent. `vpn`-class pods are steered through this gateway (see README.md
# "Egress steering" — the Cilium-native mechanism, pending live validation with PIA creds).
#
# Credentials: the `pia-credentials` SOPS Secret (keys: username, password). Gluetun uses PIA's
# username/password (via OPENVPN_USER/OPENVPN_PASSWORD — legacy env names it uses for PIA on BOTH
# protocols) to authenticate to PIA's API and derive the WireGuard config at runtime — so WireGuard
# needs no extra key material (ADR-0013).
