gate / gate (pull_request) Failing after 1m42s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped
feat(obs): wire the gate-sidecar scrape, and fix the alert that would have gone silent doing it
PR #28 gave the five fleet oauth2-proxy sidecars --metrics-address=0.0.0.0:44180 and a
named `metrics` port. This wires a scraper to them and, in the process, found a real bug
in the alert this branch added.

PodMonitor, not ServiceMonitor. Measured: no Service exposes 44180 on any of the five
(jackett/radarr/sonarr/qbittorrent/pihole all publish only their app port + authproxy
4180), so a ServiceMonitor would select nothing. A PodMonitor targets pod ports directly
and needs no change to catalog/render.py or the apps/wave-* renders and goldens.
Selector is the pod label homelab.keithjackson.dev/auth-mode=forward-auth — present on
exactly those five gate pods, absent from crafty's, which still has no metrics listener.
The property, not an app list.

THE BUG: `up{container="oauth2-proxy"}` -> `up{container="oauth2-proxy"} == 1`.

A target that is discovered but FAILING still publishes `up`, with value 0. The series
exists, so count by (namespace) returned 1, `unless` removed the namespace, and
OAuth2ProxyGateUnobserved went QUIET while nothing was being scraped at all — this
branch's own disease reproduced inside the alert written to cure it. Not hypothetical:
the PodMonitor lands five targets whose scrape is dropped, so the bare form would have
silently cleared on this very commit. Proven by mutation: reverting the `== 1` fails the
two new unit-test scenarios (got: nil) and leaves every other assertion green.

The scrape does NOT work yet, and that is documented rather than papered over. From a
pod in ns monitoring to the jackett pod, :44180 AND :4180 both time out; the shared
proxy's :44180 answers. ns jackett's default-deny is podSelector:{} with
policyTypes:[Ingress,Egress] and NO ingress key (deny-all), and the one allowance is
fromEntities:[ingress] to 4180 — the Gateway's Envoy only. The endpoint itself is
healthy: port-forwarded, /metrics returns http=200, 10208 bytes, all three oauth2_proxy_*
families including requests_total{code="302"}. Same bug and fingerprint as
platform/longhorn/networkpolicy-metrics.yaml records for Longhorn; the fix is one narrow
rule per app, and it cannot ship from this tier because oauth2-proxy and apps-wave-0 are
Flux SIBLINGS (both dependsOn platform-config), so naming ns jackett here would apply
today and fail on a cold rebuild. Needs an owner in the renderer.

Touches conformance/** : one KNOWN_EXTERNAL_MONITORS entry, which is the mechanism the
failing check explicitly instructs ("DECLARE it ... with who creates it") and which
flux-podmonitor.yaml already uses. It records that the port name was measured on prod
instead of resolved from a Service, and that the targets are currently down. That makes
this PR require a non-author review on the sensitive-path rule.

Also: ratio alert still NOT shipped. oauth2_proxy_requests_total now exists on the
endpoint but not in the TSDB, so writing it today would make it inert for exactly the
reason it was refused on 2026-09-30. Runbook gains policy-vs-no-target triage and the
radarr /signalr/messages/negotiate worked case — one orphaned browser tab, 206 identical
302s, nobody ever re-prompted.

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 (spec AGENTS.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 into main (spec CONTRIBUTING.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.
apps/           application tier, reconciled as dependency-ordered WAVES:
                  wave-0/ wave-1/ wave-2/   rendered container apps (see DESIGN-waves.md)
                  vms/                      KubeVirt VirtualMachines (non-gating tier)
catalog/        ServiceDefinition entries (the onboarding surface) + render.py
schemas/        ServiceDefinition JSON Schema + renderer contract
clusters/       Flux entrypoints + dev/ and prod/ overlays
conformance/    Chainsaw behavior/conformance suite + harness + coverage report
ci/             the gate as scripts (lint · schema · Kyverno L0 · L1 render · decision)
.gitea/         Gitea Actions CI running that gate on an in-cluster runner

Status

Roadmap phases 0–6 are delivered, and Phase 7 (Production Readiness) is OPEN and in progress. clusters/prod is no longer a design-only overlay: prod is the live cluster, serving the apex home.keithjackson.dev. The dev cluster was decommissioned on 2026-09-12 (full migration: dev out, prod onto the apex — see the DECISIONS-LOG), so phases 0–6 are now exercised on prod hardware rather than on Proxmox VMs.

Phase 7 exit criteria — prod runs the same config via the prod overlay; DR proven; monitoring + alerts live:

criterion state
prod runs the prod overlay met — 3× mini-PC bare metal, one Flux tree, prod overlay only
monitoring + alerts live met 2026-09-13 — see the note below; this was not true before that date
DR proven R-STATE-03 PROVEN on prod 2026-09-14 — off-cluster restore from Cloudflare R2. R-STATE-02 (node-loss) is still dev-only

DR restore is proven on prod. R-STATE-03 reads proven in --status as of 2026-09-14 — the first requirement in this repo to reach that state. Both of its verifiers are recorded: dr-restore (L3, run 20260914T021505Z-24b8111, sentinel DR_RESTORED_FROM_OFF_CLUSTER_BACKUP_OK) and placeholder-guard-coupling (L0). The L3 drill seeds a canary on the replicated longhorn class, backs the namespace and volume data up off-cluster, destroys every in-cluster copy (namespace, PVC and PV), restores into a clean namespace, and asserts the restored PVC binds a different PersistentVolume — so an in-cluster survival cannot pass as a restore.

What remains for Phase 7: R-STATE-02 (node-loss) is still proven only on the decommissioned dev cluster. That drill takes a real node down on a live cluster, so it is a deliberate, scheduled exercise rather than something to run in passing.

Read --coverage-only and --status as two different questions; the earlier PROVEN: 0 was not a bug but the honest answer, because proofs are claims about a specific tree on a specific cluster.

Phase Delivered
0 Foundations ServiceDefinition schema + renderer, Kyverno L0 gate, conformance harness, CI
1 Cluster bring-up 3-node k3s HA, embedded etcd, kube-vip VIP, Cilium, Flux, SOPS. Originally Proxmox VMs; now 3× mini-PC bare metal (k3s-prod-1/2/3, 192.168.2.10/.11/.12, k3s v1.36.4+k3s1, Debian 13)
2 Platform core Cilium · Longhorn · cert-manager (LE-prod wildcard) · ExternalDNS · Gateway API · split-horizon DNS, both halves: CoreDNS for pods, and PiHole as the authoritative LAN resolver for ${BASE_DOMAIN} on udp/53 + tcp/53 at a pinned VIP (192.168.2.23 on prod). The LAN half was claimed from the start but did not exist until 2026-09-14 — PiHole's Service was ClusterIP :80/:4180, so LAN clients ran on hand-maintained per-client dnsmasq files
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 unblocked 2026-09-13 — backs up to Cloudflare R2 (OQ-BKP closed; the velero-plugin-for-aws tagging incompatibility needed a pinned plugin). Longhorn has no backup target by decision: volume data is protected by Velero + kopia to R2. 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
7 Production readiness IN PROGRESS (DR restore proven 2026-09-14; node-loss outstanding). Prod live on bare metal serving the apex; dev decommissioned; CNPG HA 3 instances with primaries spread one per node; NFS bulk media + legacy Nextcloud mounted; VPN egress on prod. Alerting made real 2026-09-13 (Longhorn, cert-manager, Flux and twelve app SLIs had all been unable to fire). Open: node-loss (R-STATE-02) re-proven on prod.

Conformance: 51 / 51 requirements covered (100%), 0 gaps, 0 safety-critical gaps (closed 2026-09-13; R-C2-01/R-C2-02 were the last two). Regenerate with ./conformance/run.sh --coverage-only; the full report is conformance/_artifacts/coverage/coverage.md.

Coverage is not proof. A requirement is covered when an executable test exists for it, and PROVEN only when a recorded run of that test is in conformance/runs/ledger.jsonl at the current SHA on the cluster it claims. Read both numbers: --coverage-only for the first, --status for the second.

The running narrative — decisions, root causes, incidents, follow-ups — is DECISIONS-LOG.md. It, not this table, is the authoritative record.

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.
