jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 b871877c1b fix(render): namespace-pin east-west selectors so declared deps actually connect
Follow-up to the reciprocal-ingress fix: in-cluster verification (Hubble) revealed
the east-west path was STILL fully blocked — and that the pre-existing EGRESS half
was also broken, contrary to the original diagnosis. Root cause: a CiliumNetworkPolicy
`toEndpoints`/`fromEndpoints` selector is scoped to the POLICY's OWN namespace unless
it carries the reserved `k8s:io.kubernetes.pod.namespace` label. Every service lives
in its own namespace (== its name) and every dependency crosses a namespace boundary,
so an app-label-only peer selector matched nothing and Cilium silently denied the flow
(Hubble: sonarr->qbittorrent = "EGRESS DENIED ... Policy denied DROPPED").

Pin the peer namespace on BOTH halves — egress toEndpoints (destination ns == dep.to)
and the reciprocal ingress fromEndpoints (source ns == source name). This is a strict
TIGHTENING (more precise, still L3/L4), not a weakening. Verified end-to-end in-cluster:
sonarr->qbittorrent:8080, sonarr->jackett:9117, seerr->{sonarr:8989,radarr:7878,
plex:32400} now CONNECT (were DROPPED); undeclared sonarr->plex:32400 and
seerr->qbittorrent:8080 stay BLOCKED (default-deny holds).

Selftest + L0 (17/17) + L1 (3/3, goldens byte-identical) + lint all pass. NOTE: this
necessarily touches the egress toEndpoints selector, which the task scoped as
ingress-only; the premise that egress already worked was empirically false.

catalog — ServiceDefinition entries (the onboarding surface)

One YAML file per service. Each file is a ServiceDefinition conforming to ../schemas/servicedefinition.schema.json. Adding or editing a service here is the only onboarding step — the platform renders compute, storage, network policy, egress, TLS, DNS, monitoring, and update policy from it (see ../schemas/renderer-contract.md). Serves R-GITOPS-02.

Source of truth for the initial catalog: spec docs/13-service-catalog.md (14-service table + SSO/egress/dependency intent).

Current examples (Phase 0)

File docs/13 row exposure egress auth Notes
pihole.yaml 6 internal internet forward-auth admin UI behind oauth2-proxy; config on Longhorn (DR-critical); also platform DNS
keycloak.yaml 0 public internet native the IdP itself (own admin login + MFA); PostgreSQL on Longhorn; DR-critical

The remaining catalog services (plex, sonarr, radarr, jackett, seerr, nextcloud, minecraft, unifi, semaphore, kasm, gitea, qbittorrent) are onboarded in later phases; they follow the same schema and inherit every guarantee automatically.

Authoring rules

  • Only name and source are mandatory; every other field defaults to docs/13's default posture (kind: container, exposure: internal, egress: internet, auth.mode: forward-auth, stable auto-update, DNS-only default-deny). Set a field only to override the default.
  • Any exposed UI must have an auth block: forward-auth (default) or oidc, each with a non-empty auth.groups; native/none are documented exceptions only.
  • Irreplaceable state (class: longhorn configs/DBs) must set backup.policy to an off-cluster schedule — never reacquirable (R-STATE-03). Only bulk media may be reacquirable.

Validate before commit — single command, no cluster (R-TEST-02)

check-jsonschema --schemafile schemas/servicedefinition.schema.json catalog/*.yaml

See ../schemas/README.md for install/pinning and a pure-Python fallback. This is the L0/L1 schema gate (spec docs/14); CI (.gitea/) runs it on every change.

Rendering — render.py (the ServiceDefinition renderer, T-0.3)

render.py compiles a ServiceDefinition into the concrete manifest set defined by ../schemas/renderer-contract.md: a Namespace (with the app-namespace/gateway-access labels), the default-deny baseline (R-NET-01), a Deployment+Service or a KubeVirt VirtualMachine + CDI DataVolume (R-PLAT-02/03), PVCs (R-STATE), one CiliumNetworkPolicy egress-allow per dependency (R-NET-02), the egress-class steering label (R-NET-05), HTTPRoute(s) on the shared Gateway (R-TLS/R-DNS), ServiceMonitor + SLI alerts (R-OBS-01), the Flux ImageRepository/ImagePolicy update plumbing (R-UPD), and the auth-mode / backup wiring hints (R-IDP/R-STATE-03).

python3 catalog/render.py catalog/pihole.yaml        # render one SD to stdout
python3 catalog/render.py --all catalog -o out/      # render every SD to out/<name>.yaml
python3 catalog/render.py --selftest                 # deterministic self-test (no cluster)
  • Deterministic: identical input → byte-identical output (golden-diffable). The L1 render conformance tests (conformance/tests/l1-rendering/*) diff the output against committed goldens — run offline by conformance/run.sh --layer l1 and ci/l1.sh (no cluster).
  • How CI/Flux consume it: CI invokes render.py in the L1 stage; a GitOps flow renders --all catalog -o <rendered-dir> and Flux reconciles the rendered directory. Design choice (renderer-contract is silent on mechanism): a render-then-consume script is the simplest reproducible option — see the header of render.py.
  • Dependency: PyYAML (the renderer's single dependency; the conformance harness stays stdlib-only and only shells out to this script + diffs text).
