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
nameandsourceare 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
authblock:forward-auth(default) oroidc, each with a non-emptyauth.groups;native/noneare documented exceptions only. - Irreplaceable state (
class: longhornconfigs/DBs) must setbackup.policyto an off-cluster schedule — neverreacquirable(R-STATE-03). Only bulk media may bereacquirable.

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).

- 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 byconformance/run.sh --layer l1andci/l1.sh(no cluster). - How CI/Flux consume it: CI invokes
render.pyin 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 ofrender.py. - Dependency: PyYAML (the renderer's single dependency; the conformance harness stays stdlib-only and only shells out to this script + diffs text).
