The CNP that lets flux-system's source-controller clone from the in-cluster Gitea Service was APPLIED LIVE on prod on 2026-09-13 and existed nowhere in this repo. It carried a provenance annotation saying so. Until now it could not be authored: the gitea CNPs are GENERATED from the catalog entry, and the contract had no field for "also admit this in-cluster client" (fixed in the previous commit). Why it matters more than a missing allow normally would. prod's GitRepository points at the Service, not a public name (clusters/prod/kustomization.yaml: `url: http://gitea.gitea.svc.cluster.local:3000/Home-Network/home-network-k3s-impl.git`), deliberately, so prod's GitOps depends on neither public DNS, Cloudflare, prod's own Gateway nor ${BASE_DOMAIN}. But gitea-allow-gateway-ingress admits only `fromEntities: [ingress]`, so source-controller's clone was dropped — and the HTTPRoute that would have served the post-apex-flip public name instead lives in a DOWNSTREAM tier that cannot apply while the source is down. Source down -> routes never rename -> source stays down. Every `kubectl delete cnp` and every cluster rebuild re-armed that deadlock, and it would have been extremely hard to diagnose cold. The rendered object is EQUIVALENT to the live one — same apiVersion/kind, same name/namespace/labels, and a byte-identical spec (endpointSelector app.kubernetes.io/name=gitea; fromEndpoints matchLabels k8s:io.kubernetes.pod.namespace=flux-system; toPorts 3000/TCP), verified against `kubectl --context k3s-prod -n gitea get cnp gitea-allow-flux-ingress -o json`. The name matches, so Flux ADOPTS the live object in place: no spec change, so no policy recompute and no flap on prod's own source. The only difference is that the rendered object carries no `homelab.keithjackson.dev/provenance` annotation — the reasoning now lives where the object is authored, in catalog/gitea.yaml, next to the field that generates it. Golden re-rendered with the canonical command; the whole apps/ diff is the one new document. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
apps
App-tier manifests, rendered from catalog/*.yaml ServiceDefinitions by catalog/render.py
and split into dependency-ordered waves (wave-<N>/).
- Each
wave-<N>/is reconciled by its own Flux Kustomizationapps-wave-<N>(clusters/base/apps-wave-<N>.yaml), whichdependsOnwave N-1 (wave 0 dependsOnplatform-config) and health-gates (wait: true) ONLY that wave. A crashlooping workload in a later wave can no longer stall an earlier wave or block new revisions. wave-<N>/kustomization.yamlandclusters/base/apps-wave-<N>.yamlare generated — runpython3 catalog/render.py --emit-wavesafter onboarding a service; do not hand-edit them.- Wave assignment = longest dependency-path depth over the catalog
dependencies:graph; a co-located CNPG database<svc>-dbis a leaf and always lands strictly below its consumer.
