Minimal prod delivery, authored directly on main (= prod's live revision d1a6628)
rather than by merging work/prod-standup-campaign. That branch carries the DNS apex
inversion, which would have set prod's BASE_DOMAIN to home.keithjackson.dev; prod
runs external-dns with policy: sync and txtOwnerId: prod, so it would have begun
rewriting apex records dev owns while the non-k3s prod still serves 443 there.
Operator sequencing is "dev migrates first". Nothing under clusters/ is touched
here at all, which is what makes this safe to land now.
Also deliberately EXCLUDED, because prod's live cluster-vars has no CNPG_BACKUP_PATH
key and StrictPostBuildSubstitutions would fail the whole tier: the R2 rework of
platform/velero/ and the CNPG destinationPath changes. Those land as
feat/r2-backup-prod together with the endpoint and bucket knobs.
WHAT THIS FIXES
1. Nothing was watching CNPG. All three prod databases have run since bootstrap with
ContinuousArchiving=False and firstRecoverabilityPoint=null, and no alert existed
anywhere. Because archive_mode=on and the archive command fails, Postgres refuses
to recycle WAL: keycloak-db holds every segment ever written (257 MiB on a 5 GiB
volume, ~6.8 MiB/h) — roughly 29 days to a disk-full PANIC on the cluster's SSO
database. Found by hand, 38h late. CNPGWALArchiveBacklog would have fired within
the hour, and evaluates to 3 firing series on prod today.
Rules key on cnpg_collector_* rather than cnpg_pg_stat_archiver_*, because
nextcloud-db's exporter cannot log in to its own database (permission denied for
database "nextcloud", both clusters) so the pg_stat_archiver family does not exist
for it — the obvious metric would have been blind to one database in three.
2. No PVC outside namespace=monitoring had any fill alert. New rules are partitioned
by namespace so they cannot double-fire with MonitoringVolumeFillingUp, pinned to
job="kubelet" (the apiserver copy of the same series reports namespace=default),
and guarded by inodes > 0 — block-mode PVCs such as unifi-rootdisk report
available=0 forever and would otherwise have fired critical permanently.
3. VPNTunnelDown could never clear on a cluster with no gateway node; it has been
firing critical on prod since 2026-09-05. Now guarded so prod self-arms the moment
a node carries the egress-gateway label, with dev's behaviour unchanged today.
4. The Keycloak realm import fails OPEN: an unresolved placeholder is stored
LITERALLY and the import still reports success, then sits at Done=True and never
re-runs. On 2026-09-06 all 12 prod OIDC clients held the literal
$(env:..._CLIENT_SECRET) string and every SSO login failed, while every signal was
green. The CronJob is the level-triggered correction; two alerts make its silence
observable. Repaired live already — this stops it recurring.
Also: the R-NET-04 conformance scan descended into nested agent worktrees under
.claude/, counting 4 egress policies where 1 is authored.

# L2 BEHAVIORAL — split-horizon INTERNAL resolution (R-DNS-01 / R-DNS-03) [RUNNABLE]
|
|
# Catalog: docs/14 "DNS/exposure (R-DNS-*)"
|
|
# Spec: docs/09 "Split-horizon resolution (R-DNS-03)" — internal clients resolve
|
|
# <svc>.${BASE_DOMAIN} to the INTERNAL Gateway VIP, not the public hairpin.
|
|
# Impl: platform/coredns/coredns-custom.yaml (k3s CoreDNS `import *.server`; template plugin
|
|
# answers the whole ${BASE_DOMAIN} zone with ${GATEWAY_VIP}).
|
|
#
|
|
# ENVIRONMENT-AGNOSTIC (R-ENV-02): this test asks the CLUSTER IT IS POINTED AT for its own
|
|
# ${BASE_DOMAIN} and ${GATEWAY_VIP} — the same flux-system/cluster-vars ConfigMap Flux
|
|
# substitutes from — via test-level chainsaw bindings (see `spec.bindings`). Nothing here is
|
|
# per-environment and no flag is passed at run time, so the suite cannot be run against the
|
|
# wrong expectation: dev asserts dev's zone/VIP, prod asserts prod's.
|
|
#
|
|
# GIVEN the split-horizon coredns-custom ConfigMap is reconciled into k3s CoreDNS,
|
|
# WHEN an in-cluster pod resolves a platform hostname over its PUBLIC name
|
|
# (keycloak.${BASE_DOMAIN}) using the default cluster resolver (CoreDNS 10.43.0.10),
|
|
# THEN the answer is EXACTLY that cluster's ${GATEWAY_VIP} (the address coredns-custom is
|
|
# templated with, and the `shared` Gateway's own status address) — NOT a public/off-cluster
|
|
# IP. This is what lets pod->public-hostname traffic hairpin through the
|
|
# Gateway with the correct SNI (*.${BASE_DOMAIN}) so the wildcard cert validates
|
|
# (R-DNS-01 "services reachable at <svc>.${BASE_DOMAIN}"; R-DNS-03 split-horizon).
|
|
#
|
|
# Complements dns-exposure (R-DNS-02, the EXTERNAL/public-record side). Together they cover the
|
|
# split-horizon pair: external answer = public record (R-DNS-02); internal answer = Gateway VIP
|
|
# (R-DNS-01/03).
|
|
#
|
|
# CLEANUP: chainsaw deletes the per-test namespace (Job included) at teardown. Read-only otherwise.
|
|
# chainsaw v0.2.12: Job + status assert; no test-level finally.
