Autonomous prod bring-up, operator away. Three changes that together clear the last blockers before `flux bootstrap`. === 1. TEMPORARY BOOTSTRAP GITEA — the last hard blocker, cleared === clusters/prod's source URL could not work: Gitea runs ON the dev cluster (the one slated for decommission) and split-horizon DNS resolves gitea.home.keithjackson.dev to PROD's OWN gateway. Stood up the existing bootstrap/gitea/bootstrap-gitea.sh on the operator's workstation with HOST_NAT_IP=192.168.2.132; all three prod nodes verified reachable (Gitea 1.22.6 via the API), no firewall change needed — prod is on the same /24, no NAT. clusters/prod now points at http://192.168.2.132:3000/... under a boxed TEMPORARY banner with a 5-step cutover checklist ending 'delete this whole block — dev's stanza is what done looks like'. Repo verified PUBLIC with anonymous read two independent ways (API "private":false; git ls-remote unauthenticated with GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0), so NO secretRef is needed — documented so a future auth failure is not misread as a network fault. bootstrap-gitea.sh's header corrected: it documented HOST_NAT_IP=10.73.0.1, the RETIRED libvirt NAT, and forbade agent use; the operator has now directed this for prod. === 2. WIRELESS DISABLED ON PROD (operator-reported) === k3s-prod-3 was on ethernet AND wireless, and the wifi DHCP client was overwriting /etc/resolv.conf. Root cause of the silence: node_baseline's DNS `contended` detection checked resolvconf and NetworkManager but NOT dhcpcd, so the role wrote resolvers, reported success, and dhcpcd reverted them on lease renewal — the exact 'green run that fixed nothing' the contended branch exists to prevent. Now IaC, not a one-off: survey wireless hardware, **REFUSE to disable it if the path to the node runs over the wireless interface** (the guard that meant an agent dying mid-apply cost nothing), blacklist the driver so it never reloads, stop dhcpcd only where it holds a wireless interface and nothing else, take links down and unload modules with NO reboot, then report the resulting state. dhcpcd is now in the contended set without weakening fail-closed. Applied and verified: node 3's wlp1s0 is GONE from /sys/class/net, dhcpcd inactive and its unit not-found, ONE default route per node, all three on 8.8.8.8/1.1.1.1 resolving public names. Safe and idempotent on nodes 1 and 2, whose wifi hardware was already down. === 3. flux_bootstrap PATH PARAMETERISED === bootstrap/flux/bootstrap.sh already read FLUX_ENV_PATH but the role never exported it, so it ALWAYS bootstrapped clusters/dev — prod was impossible. Two behaviour-bearing lines: role default clusters/dev + `environment: FLUX_ENV_PATH`, overridden to clusters/prod in group_vars/k3s_prod. Proven per host with a read-only Ansible probe: prod hosts resolve clusters/prod, localhost/hypervisor resolves clusters/dev. Only two definitions repo-wide. DEV PROVEN BYTE-IDENTICAL for the source change: all 12 substituting Flux paths rendered for both trees, 27/27 SHA-256 artefacts identical, with TWO POSITIVE CONTROLS (an overlay-level canary and a deep-path content canary) confirming the harness detects change — and both canaries proven restored. Honest scope note recorded: kustomize strips comments, so the harness proves the built stream, not source comments. L0 substitution check: 106 assertions, 0 hazards. ci/l0.sh and ci/lint.sh exit 0. === STILL BLOCKING A FULL PROD RECONCILE (operator decisions) === - S3_BACKUP_ENDPOINT remains TBD-PROD-*: prod CANNOT reach dev's versitygw at 192.168.1.9:9000 (verified UNREACHABLE from all three — the pfSense boundary), and a prod backup target is a deferred operator decision. Deliberately NOT invented: a DR target on a workstation container would create false confidence. Velero/CNPG backups will fail loudly. - Prod's public resolvers mean the API server's oidc-issuer-url resolves PUBLICLY, so kubectl SSO will not work on prod until split-horizon is solved for it (§4). - The temp Gitea is a single container on the operator's workstation — a single point of failure for prod reconciliation, acceptable for bring-up only.

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 |

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.
