New operator observation: a Bedrock client got "Unable to connect / You are not invited to play on this server". That was put to me as evidence that NetherNet signalling is working, that the refusal may have come from Microsoft rather than our server, and that BDS players therefore never traverse crafty-l4-udp. Measured read-only at 21:56, all three are wrong. allow-list=true (server.properties line 37) allowlist.json == [] (3 bytes, mtime 20:51, never edited since create) online-mode=true transport=raknet (line 71; file mtime STILL 21:33:31) UDP 19132 bound (/proc/net/udp 00000000:4ABC, pid 47006) TCP 19132 ABSENT (no 4ABC in /proc/net/tcp or tcp6) bedrock_server pid 47006, same process since 21:34, never restarted 1. transport is still raknet -- nobody reverted it, the binary did not rewrite it (mtime unchanged, audit.log records no later edit, same pid). NetherNet is NOT in use and cannot be what served this client. 2. NetherNet could not have served it in principle: it signals over TCP on server-port, and there is no TCP 19132 listener in the pod at all. 3. So the refusal came from OUR server, over RakNet, over 19132/udp, through the VIP. The 19132-19134/UDP exposure is the opposite of inert -- it carried both the earlier pong and this refusal. 4. Cause is certain and trivial: allow-list=true with an empty allowlist.json refuses every player. The shipped how_to says so, and it keys on Xbox Gamertag. The requested log correlation cannot be done from disk: K3s-Bedrock's log_path in crafty.sqlite is the empty string and Dedicated_Server.txt is 0 bytes -- Crafty persists no BDS stdout at all, the console is panel-UI-only. commander.log 21:39-21:56 holds only homelab crash-detection and raknet_ping lines. That silence is evidence about Crafty's logging, not about the refusal's origin. Adds a README section on the join authorization model: the measured table, the proof the refusal is ours, the "console is not on disk" caveat, gamertag/XUID identity, and three operator routes (console `allowlist add`, edit-then-`allowlist reload`, or allow-list=false -- discouraged, since the game port is deliberately un-gated so the allowlist is the only join control). Notes allowlist.json is PVC state that resets to [] on a server recreate. Options table and human test 4 now check the allowlist before blaming the network. Ranking unchanged at the top: keep transport=raknet, add gamertags. Still zero manifest change. NetherNet would ADD work (TCP 19132 in crafty-l4-tcp and in crafty-allow-ingress, plus server-udp-ports) and admit not one extra player. Read-only throughout: allowlist.json, server.properties and the DB were read; no console command issued, no kubectl mutation, no flux reconcile.

platform/
Cluster-wide platform services, Flux-managed (R-PLAT-01, R-GITOPS-01/02/03). Reconciled
by the platform Flux Kustomization defined in clusters/base/platform.yaml,
before apps/.
Governing spec: docs/05-gitops-and-delivery.md,
docs/01-architecture-overview.md.
Phase 0 scaffolding only. Every component here is a structurally-correct stub — a Flux HelmRelease and/or Kustomization with a values placeholder, a README citing the governing ADR/spec, and TODOs for the phase that fills it in. No cluster exists; nothing reconciles yet. Do not add working config, secrets, or provisioning under Phase 0 (spec
AGENTS.md§1/§5/§6,roadmap/phases.md).
Reconciliation flow (how a change lands)
git (source of truth)
│ operator PR → CI (lint · schema · Kyverno L0 · Chainsaw) → merge to tracked branch
▼
Flux GitRepository (clusters/base/flux-system.yaml)
▼
Flux Kustomization "platform" → ./platform (this dir) ── substituteFrom cluster-vars ──┐
│ prune=true (drift correction, R-GITOPS-03) · wait=true │ R-ENV-02
▼ │
Flux Kustomization "apps" → ./apps (dependsOn platform) ─ substituteFrom cluster-vars ──┘
Git is authoritative; the cluster conforms to git and drift is auto-corrected (R-GITOPS-01/03).
Manual kubectl apply of platform state is prohibited (spec AGENTS.md §5).
The dev ↔ prod overlay model (R-ENV-02)
Platform manifests are authored once. Every value that legitimately differs between environments
is a ${TOKEN} resolved from the cluster-vars ConfigMap via Flux postBuild.substituteFrom. The
clusters/dev and clusters/prod overlays differ only by the values they patch into
cluster-vars (issuer, replica counts, storage sizes, retention). See
clusters/README.md. Base manifests are never forked per environment.

⚠️ INTEGRATION TODO(PM): wire kyverno into the platform kustomization
platform/kyverno/ is authored by a different agent (the policy engineer, WS-TEST). This
workstream did not create any files under platform/kyverno/ and must not.
platform/kustomization.yaml intentionally omits - kyverno. Once the
policy engineer's files land, the PM must add - kyverno to that list (recommended first, so
policies are present before other components reconcile). The line is present as a commented TODO in
the kustomization.
Secrets
Every secret referenced below (Cloudflare API token, Velero backup-target creds, Keycloak admin/DB, oauth2-proxy cookie/client secrets) is referenced by name only and will be committed SOPS-encrypted (WS-SEC, ADR-0007). No plaintext secret appears anywhere in this tree.
Cross-workstream contracts surfaced by these stubs
- cilium (WS-NET ↔ WS-INFRA): Cilium's initial CNI install is done by Ansible at cluster bootstrap (docs/02, Phase 1). The HelmRelease here manages Cilium config thereafter; its Helm values MUST match the Ansible bootstrap values (kubeProxyReplacement, k8sServiceHost/Port, API server host) or reconciliation will fight the bootstrap. Contract owner: WS-NET + WS-INFRA.
- gateway + cert-manager + externaldns (WS-NET + WS-SEC): the shared Gateway listener, the
wildcard
*.home.keithjackson.devcert, and the ExternalDNS source all reference each other; they form the "Issuer + Gateway TLS" interface inroadmap/workstreams.md. - image-automation (WS-UPDATE): this dir holds only the cluster-wide ImageUpdateAutomation +
git write-back. Per-service
ImageRepository/ImagePolicyare rendered from each ServiceDefinition'supdateblock (WS-GITOPS/WS-UPDATE), living withapps/. - keycloak/oauth2-proxy (WS-SEC): the SSO/auth contract (
authblock → Keycloak client / oauth2-proxy protection) is owned by WS-SEC; these are placeholders pending that contract.
