feat(ha): the CNI dials the control-plane VIP — kube-vip becomes a CNI prerequisite
OPERATOR DECISION 2026-09-06: "use the VIP as intended — a virtual address to reach
the cluster and provide fault tolerant HA. Without a change it will not work in HA."

THE DEFECT. Cilium's kube-proxy replacement dialled a SINGLE NODE. Re-confirmed live
before changing anything: all three prod cilium-agent pods carried
KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST=192.168.2.10 — k3s-prod-1's own address — while the kube-vip
VIP 192.168.2.9 was Running on all three nodes with a held lease. Lose prod-1 and the
CNI's control-plane path is dead on an "HA" cluster. clusters/prod's own comment said
the value must be the VIP and NOT .10, then called it "Not yet decided" — I treated
that stale comment as an open question when the evidence already settled it.

SPLIT, NOT REPOINT, because k3s_api_host had two consumers with opposite needs:
  k3s_api_host            unchanged — the FOUNDER's IP: the cold-bootstrap join
                          target and a tls-san. infra/tofu/outputs.tf GENERATES this
                          name, so renaming would ripple into tofu and the runbooks.
  k3s_apiserver_endpoint  NEW = {{ kube_vip_address }} — the HA address; what Cilium
                          consumes. Derived, not restated, so an environment overrides
                          ONE line and the VIP, the SAN and the CNI endpoint move
                          together. Prod needed no new override.

THE SECOND HAZARD, WHICH MY BRIEF DID NOT NAME and the agent found: pointing Cilium at
the VIP breaks a COLD bootstrap for the same reason the join would — site.yml ran
node-baseline -> k3s -> cilium, so Cilium would install against an address nothing
announced yet. That is the 2026-09-01 deadlock shape. Fixed by SEQUENCE, not value:
site.yml now imports kube-vip.yml BETWEEN k3s and cilium. It cannot go earlier
(kube-vip is a k3s auto-deploy manifest, so it needs a cluster) and it works there
because the DaemonSet is hostNetwork with KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST=127.0.0.1 — needing
neither CNI nor kube-proxy. roles/kube_vip gained a read-only `wait_for` on the VIP so
a cold run stops THERE with a named cause instead of surfacing as unreachable agents.

Also fixed a pre-existing bug that only mattered once this play joined site.yml: the
role's read-only interface probe ran without `check_mode: false`, so under --check it
was skipped and the assert fired with a misleading "set kube_vip_interface explicitly".

VERIFIED BY ME, not just reported:
  renders    dev K3S_API_HOST=192.168.1.49   prod=192.168.2.9  (each environment's VIP)
  cilium     template consumes k3s_apiserver_endpoint, not k3s_api_host
  cold join  still `--server https://{{ k3s_api_host }}:6443` — the founder
  order      site.yml: node-baseline -> k3s -> kube-vip -> cilium -> verify -> flux
  gate       full CI gate PASS
Agent-side, additionally: in-memory render of cilium-values.yaml.j2 per host showing
k8sServiceHost=the VIP with the join still on the founder; k3s_tls_sans renders
['.10','.9','127.0.0.1','.11','.12'] so NO cert reissue and NO k3s restart is involved
— .9 already answers under full CA verification; and --check --diff of kube-vip.yml
against prod reported 6 ok / 0 changed, i.e. the role edits change nothing about the
kube-vip prod already runs.

ha-control-plane-as-code 92 -> 112 assertions, turning two escalations into machine
checks: the Cilium template must use the endpoint var; the endpoint must derive from
kube_vip_address and k3s_api_host must not; per environment K3S_API_HOST must equal
that environment's VIP and be none of its node IPs (the [parity] contract, now
machine-checked rather than a comment); site.yml must order k3s -> kube-vip -> cilium.
Every new assertion mutation-tested and bites. One honest negative recorded: reverting
only the BASE default is not caught, because both overlays patch the key — the check
reads effective per-environment values, so the base default is unguarded.

APPLY ORDER, and this is the operator's step — nothing was applied:
  PROD FIRST, and it is the low-risk direction (prod is the broken one). Push and let
  Flux reconcile platform/cilium: the value change rolls the cilium-agent DaemonSet
  ONE NODE AT A TIME (maxUnavailable: 1 — the knob that bounded the 2026-09-01
  incident), it will not proceed past an unready pod, existing datapath survives an
  agent restart, and .9 is already live before the change lands.
  DEV SEPARATELY, operator present. Same mechanics but live dev agents dial
  192.168.1.50, and dev is mid-DNS-migration on dev-live. Do not fold it into that.
  ANSIBLE: nothing to run for either live cluster; the Ansible half matters only for a
  cold build. Remove the now-redundant standalone kube-vip.yml step from any runbook.

NEW NAMED GAP, unwritten: the L2 test cannot assert the running agents' live
KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST, which is the drift the L0 check cannot see. Recorded in that
test's gap list.

# clusters/prod — DESIGN-ONLY overlay. NOT a build target until roadmap Phase 7 opens prod
# (spec roadmap/phases.md, AGENTS.md §6: "Never build directly on production").
#
# When Phase 7 is opened, `flux bootstrap ... --path=clusters/prod` points the prod cluster's Flux
# here. Like dev, this overlay adds NO resources — it ONLY patches cluster-vars with prod-scoped
# values (R-ENV-02). Promotion to prod is a change to THESE variables, never a base edit.
#
# *** PHASE-7 BLOCKER — READ BEFORE BOOTSTRAPPING PROD ***
# `clusters/base/platform.yaml` now carries `dependsOn: [flux-system]` (the 2026-09-01 substitution-
# race fix). That names the ROOT Kustomization, which clusters/dev supplies as `dev/sync.yaml`
# (path ./clusters/dev). THIS overlay has no sync.yaml yet, so as written a prod bootstrap would
# leave `platform` stuck on "dependency 'flux-system/flux-system' is not ready" FOREVER and nothing
# downstream would reconcile. Phase 7 MUST add `clusters/prod/sync.yaml` — a copy of dev/sync.yaml
# with `path: ./clusters/prod` — as part of opening this overlay. (Adding it now is deliberately NOT
# done here: prod is design-only and its root object is the prod bring-up owner's call.)

#
# ############################################################################################
# ### ###
# ### *** T E M P O R A R Y B O O T S T R A P S O U R C E — NOT PERMANENT *** ###
# ### ###
# ### The url below is a Gitea container running ON THE OPERATOR'S WORKSTATION, outside ###
# ### any cluster. It exists ONLY to get prod's first reconcile off the ground. It MUST ###
# ### be cut over to the in-cluster URL once Gitea runs on prod. If you are reading this ###
# ### and prod has been serving traffic for months, THE CUTOVER WAS NEVER DONE — that is ###
# ### a live single point of failure, not a settled design. See "CUTOVER" below. ###
# ### ###
# ############################################################################################
#
# WHY THE IN-CLUSTER URL CANNOT BE USED YET (blocker found 2026-09-01, still true; the
# unusable value was `https://gitea.home.keithjackson.dev/Home-Network/home-network-k3s-impl.git`).
# Two independent reasons, both consequences of the split-horizon design:
# 1. SELF-HOSTING CIRCULARITY. Gitea runs ON THE DEV CLUSTER. Prod syncing from it means prod's
# GitOps source lives inside the very cluster slated for decommission. Gitea must move to
# prod (or off-cluster) BEFORE dev is retired, or prod loses its source of truth.
# 2. SPLIT-HORIZON DNS SENDS IT TO THE WRONG PLACE. platform/coredns/coredns-custom.yaml
# answers the ENTIRE home.keithjackson.dev zone with ${GATEWAY_VIP}. On prod that is
# 192.168.2.20 — PROD's own gateway, where no Gitea is listening. Prod's Flux would resolve
# gitea.home.keithjackson.dev to itself and never reach a repository.
#
# WHAT THE TEMPORARY SOURCE IS (stood up 2026-09-04 on explicit operator direction):
# bootstrap/gitea/bootstrap-gitea.sh with HOST_NAT_IP=192.168.2.132 — a podman container on the
# operator's workstation, Gitea 1.22.6, listening on 192.168.2.132:3000. All three prod nodes
# reach it DIRECTLY on the LAN: no libvirt NAT hop (that network is retired) and no firewall
# change was needed. This is the same "local bootstrap source" pattern dev itself used before
# its Phase-6 cutover (docs/05 "Source-of-truth").
#
# PLAIN HTTP, AND WHY THAT IS ACCEPTED HERE: the bootstrap Gitea has no TLS, so there is no cert
# for Flux to trust and no caCertSecretRef to wire. Traffic is LAN-local between prod nodes and
# the workstation, the repo carries NO plaintext secrets (everything sensitive is SOPS-encrypted,
# .sops.yaml), and the window is the bring-up only. Do NOT extend this posture past cutover.
#
# NO secretRef, DELIBERATELY: the repo is PUBLIC on the bootstrap Gitea, so anonymous clone
# works and Flux needs no git credentials. VERIFIED 2026-09-04 by unauthenticated request:
# curl http://192.168.2.132:3000/api/v1/repos/Home-Network/home-network-k3s-impl -> "private":false
# git ls-remote http://192.168.2.132:3000/Home-Network/home-network-k3s-impl.git -> refs/heads/main
# If the GitRepository ever reports an auth failure that looks like a network problem, RE-CHECK
# THAT FIRST: a private repo here fails exactly that way.
#
# *** CUTOVER — the exit condition, mirroring dev's Phase-6 cutover (docs/05) ***
# WHEN: Gitea runs on prod (reconciled in-cluster) and answers gitea.home.keithjackson.dev
# through prod's own Gateway VIP with a publicly-trusted cert.
# DO: 1. push/mirror this repo into the prod in-cluster Gitea;
# 2. change the url below to
# https://gitea.home.keithjackson.dev/Home-Network/home-network-k3s-impl.git
# and DELETE this whole TEMPORARY block (dev's equivalent stanza, ~15 lines above in
# clusters/dev/kustomization.yaml, is what "done" looks like);
# 3. confirm `flux get sources git -n flux-system` reconciles the new revision;
# 4. only THEN stop the workstation container. Keep it stopped-not-deleted as recovery,
# exactly as dev retained its bootstrap Gitea.
# UNTIL THEN: prod's reconciliation depends on a container on a workstation that may be
# powered off. Flux keeps the last-reconciled state running, but NO new revision lands while
# it is down. Tracked as an open blocker in infra/PROD-PROVISIONING.md §7.
#
# The BRANCH below is settled and correct: prod tracks `main`, the same branch as dev.
# CONSEQUENCE, recorded deliberately: once prod is live, EVERY MERGE TO main RECONCILES BOTH
# CLUSTERS. There is no promotion step and no soak window — dev and prod move together.
# NOTE for bring-up: bootstrap-gitea.sh pushes the operator's CURRENT HEAD to the bootstrap
# Gitea's `main`, whatever branch that is. Before bootstrapping prod, confirm that remote `main`
# is the revision you intend prod to run (`git ls-remote` above, against local `main`).

# CUTOVER DONE 2026-09-06 (operator direction: "move the repo to prod"). Prod now reconciles

# public names as the live dev cluster out of the SAME Cloudflare zone. Two consequences, one
# of which already happened:
# 1. HAPPENED: prod's external-dns (policy: sync, owner id `default` — the same implicit
# default dev had) concluded it owned dev's records and DELETED EVERY ONE of them.
# 2. QUEUED BEHIND IT: platform-config would have requested a `*.home.keithjackson.dev`
# wildcard from letsencrypt-prod for a cert dev already holds, and both clusters would
# have raced each other's `_acme-challenge` TXT records on that one zone.
# Moving prod to its own suffix dissolves both: the two clusters can no longer name the same
# record. This is what makes ACME_CLUSTER_ISSUER: letsencrypt-prod above safe here.
#
# dev -> home.keithjackson.dev (UNCHANGED — dev is live; phase 2 moves it)
# prod -> prod.home.keithjackson.dev (this knob)
#
# CONSEQUENCE — prod's hostnames are NOT the apex names. Prod's Gitea is
# gitea.prod.home.keithjackson.dev, its Keycloak keycloak.prod.home.keithjackson.dev, and so
# on; the wildcard cert becomes `*.prod.home.keithjackson.dev`. The apex CNAMEs that make

# prod. Leaving the dev literals in place would hand a prod LoadBalancer a dev-LAN address, so
# they stay placeholders; whatever is chosen MUST fall inside [POOL_START, POOL_STOP] and not
# collide with the Gateway VIP or the node IPs (.10/.11/.12).

# Off-cluster DR target. Dev's versitygw/MinIO (192.168.1.9:9000) sits on the DEV side of the
# network — a prod backup written there is not off-cluster DR and would mix two environments'
# PITR streams in one bucket. Operator supplies the prod endpoint (full URL incl. scheme+port).
