gate / gate (pull_request) Successful in 1m57s
gate / conformance (pull_request) Has been skipped
feat(upgrades): automated OS reboots (kured) + security-only unattended-upgrades, and give Renovate a runner
Two halves of one repeatable upgrade process. Neither works alone.

(a) OS upgrades and reboots

platform/kured/ — Kubernetes Reboot Daemon, chart 6.1.0/app 1.23.0, in its own
Flux Kustomization (dependsOn platform, wait:true). NOT in platform/kustomization.yaml:
that tier gates platform-config and every apps wave, so a wedged reboot daemon there
could stall every application. A component added to make maintenance safer must not be
able to cause an outage.

infra/ansible/roles/unattended_upgrades/ — new role (node_baseline is touched by other
open branches, and this is a different lifecycle), enabled for prod in group_vars.

The human gate is the SENTINEL, which is how this honours node_baseline's "IT DOES NOT
REBOOT" (k3s-prod-2 hung on a warm reboot 2026-09-03) and cluster-upgrade-plan.md's
rejection of automating away the gate between nodes: u-u is security-only with the
kernel blacklisted, so it essentially never writes /var/run/reboot-required. That file
appears when an operator deliberately runs node-baseline.yml --tags kernel. kured then
does only the mechanical half, including the ordering rule node_baseline has to shout.

Quorum: concurrent reboots are structurally impossible, not merely unlikely.
concurrency:1 plus kured's single lock annotation (API-server optimistic concurrency),
and lockTtl:0 — an expiring lock is exactly the 3-node etcd catastrophe, so a hung node
holds it forever and nothing cascades.

Longhorn: measured 25 volumes x 3 replicas, hard anti-affinity, 600s replenishment wait,
serialized rebuild — so every drain degrades ALL volumes to 2/3 and the inter-node gate
must be volume robustness, not pod readiness. Doubled: lockReleaseDelay 30m
(unconditional) plus kured's Prometheus alert gate (semantic).

alertFilterMatchOnly:true is load-bearing — the flag inverts the regexp's meaning, and
under the chart default kured would have been blocked on day one by the five alerts
measured firing with no end in sight, and never rebooted anything.

Kernel floor (kernel >= 6.13, EFI memattr): excluded TWICE. The running kernel comes
from o=Debian Backports, which is not an allowed origin, so u-u cannot see a kernel
upgrade; and ^linux- is blacklisted anyway so widening origins later cannot re-arm it.
Asserted against apt-config dump, not against the file just written. 6.12 kernels are
still installed and bootable on all three nodes, and nothing was held.

Closes a silent no-op: update-notifier-common was absent on all three nodes, so NOTHING
could create the sentinel. kured alone would have idled forever at 1/1 Running.

platform/kured/alerts.yaml — three rules over kured's only metric, with a companion
promtool suite pinning each both ways, plus runbooks/node-reboot-automation.md.
Window is DAILY 03:00-06:00 because a weekly one forces for:8d, longer than this
cluster's 7d Prometheus retention.

(b) Image/dependency automation

Renovate was aspirational: renovate.json present and complete, with no workflow, no
in-cluster workload, and its docker+kubernetes managers disabled — so every plain
image: tag was maintained by nothing while seven files claimed otherwise.

.gitea/workflows/renovate.yaml — scheduled daily, dry_run default true for a safe
first run, and a preflight that FAILS (not skips) without RENOVATE_TOKEN, because a
skipped Gitea job reports success and that is how this stayed inert.

Renovate now owns both halves; Flux image-automation is formally closed: it pushes
commits rather than opening PRs (bypassing CLAUDE.md §1), and it cannot work here
anyway — main is protected user_can_push:false and the flux-system GitRepository has
no secretRef. Its controllers are installed and have idled 43 days with zero CRs.

conformance/: +34/-0, one new SCRAPE_OWNERS entry claiming kured_. Weakens nothing;
tightens the check for this component (requires service.create+metrics.create, both
chart-default false, plus a companion NetworkPolicy requirement). Required because
assertion (3) fails an alert over an unclaimed metric and KNOWN_UNWIRED_METRICS is
shrink-only.

Sensitive paths touched: clusters/**, conformance/**, .gitea/** — needs a non-author
approving review; /approve-override deliberately NOT posted.

NOT verified: no OS upgrade run, no node rebooted, no lock observed, the Ansible role
never executed, and whether CNPG switches its primary on a drain-induced eviction (the
most likely way the first real reboot fails). Full list in the handoff entry.

# Runbooks tier — reconciled by its OWN non-gating post-platform Flux Kustomization
# (clusters/base/runbooks.yaml, dependsOn platform-config, wait:false). Same placement and rationale as
# platform/homepage: a leaf web server must never sit in the gating `platform` tier, where a UI's
# unhealth once stalled the whole chain (DECISIONS-LOG: "Headlamp gating stall").
#
# WHY THE MANIFESTS LIVE HERE, ALONGSIDE THE DOCS, RATHER THAN IN platform/runbooks/.
# The markdown is the source of truth and the task is to serve it verbatim, which means the ConfigMap must
# be GENERATED from these files — there must not be a second hand-maintained copy of 34 documents that can
# drift from the originals. `configMapGenerator` does that, and its `files:` paths are resolved relative to
# THIS directory. A `platform/runbooks/kustomization.yaml` would therefore need `../../runbooks/<name>.md`,
# which depends on kustomize load restrictions being relaxed — true for Flux's kustomize-controller,
# refused by a plain `kustomize build`, and so a divergence between what the gate can verify and what the
# cluster does. Making this directory the Flux path removes the question entirely: no `../`, identical
# behaviour locally and in-cluster, one copy of every document. The serving manifests are tucked under
# `serving/` so `runbooks/*.md` stays exactly the flat set of pages the URLs name.

configMapGenerator:
# ONE ConfigMap holding every runbook, keyed by the EXACT name the alert annotations use.
#
# THE KEYS ARE EXTENSIONLESS ON PURPOSE. The annotations are `https://${BASE_DOMAIN}/runbooks/<name>`
# with NO `.md`, and this repo must not change them (they are spread across four alerts.yaml files that
# other work is editing). `<key>=<file>` maps `node-down.md` on disk to the key `node-down`, the volume
# mount turns each key into a file under the nginx root, and `/runbooks/node-down` becomes a plain static
# lookup — no rewrite rule, nothing to get subtly wrong at 3am. Drop the `<key>=` and every key would
# carry `.md`, so every alert link would 404 while this file still looked correct.
#
# The generated name carries kustomize's content hash, so editing any runbook rolls the server
# automatically and a stale projection is impossible.
#
# ADDING A RUNBOOK: add the file AND its line here. The L0 check
# conformance/tests/l0-static/alert-runbooks-resolvable asserts both halves, because a file in git with
# no generator entry is reviewed, merged, apparently done — and still a 404 in the cluster.
