jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 a108d5ab98 correction: credential-forward + unified graph; activate SOPS (author-first)
Operator directive: don't diverge architecture to avoid asking for credentials;
provision them upfront via SOPS and keep the existing (unified) graph.

Roadmap reconciliation: Phase 2 = Network/Storage/TLS/DNS/Ingress, so
cert-manager/externaldns/gateway (the credential-gated pieces) ARE Phase 2;
monitoring is Phase 4. Earlier A2/rollout scope was inverted by credential-avoidance.

Reverts (credential-driven): remove clusters/dev/rollout/ + the $patch:delete's;
restore unified base graph (dev = ../base + cluster-vars + SOPS decryption,
R-ENV-02 intact); restore monitoring files (Phase 4). Kept non-credential
improvements: tofu for_each/rejoin, Kyverno parametrization + webhook excludes.

platform/kustomization.yaml now phased (single shared list): Phase-2 set =
kyverno, cilium, longhorn, cert-manager, externaldns, gateway; later components
commented with phase markers.

SOPS activated: .sops.yaml at repo root; bootstrap/sops/secret-templates/*.yaml.example
for all secrets (cloudflare x2, grafana, alertmanager-smtp, keycloak, oauth2-proxy, pia);
bootstrap/sops/CREDENTIALS.md checklist; pre-wired commented cloudflare-api-token lines
in cert-manager + externaldns; filled non-secret ACME email. Agents never touch real
secret values (operator encrypts).

Validated: kubectl kustomize dev(unified)/prod/platform(Phase-2 only), templates inert,
make -C ci gate PASS.

platform/cert-manager

cert-manager — trusted TLS via Let's Encrypt, ACME DNS-01 (Cloudflare).

What this stub is

Flux HelmRelease + two ClusterIssuers (letsencrypt-staging, letsencrypt-prod — both mandated by ADR-0006). DNS-01 against the keithjackson.dev zone validates domain control without exposing the service (works for internal-only services, R-TLS-03) and enables the wildcard *.home.keithjackson.dev cert defined in ../gateway.

Contract (Issuer + Gateway TLS)

Part of the "Issuer + Gateway TLS" interface (roadmap/workstreams.md, WS-SEC + WS-NET): the wildcard Certificate (in gateway/) references the issuer named by ${ACME_CLUSTER_ISSUER} and its secret is consumed by the Gateway HTTPS listener.

Secrets

The Cloudflare API token is referenced by name (cloudflare-api-token) and committed SOPS-encrypted (WS-SEC, OQ-4, ADR-0007). No plaintext token in git.

TODO (later phases)

  • OQ-4 (resolved to Cloudflare): WS-SEC provisions the scoped Cloudflare token, SOPS-encrypted.
  • Set the ACME account email.
  • Phase 2 (WS-SEC): issue the wildcard cert; prove a trusted, non-self-signed cert at *.home.keithjackson.dev (R-TLS-01/03, Phase-2 exit gate).
