Widens the cookie-collision fix to the whole sidecar contract, because all three
defects live in the same function and land on the same five goldens, so they are one
atomic change or they are five conflicting ones.
Added to _oauth2_sidecar_container(), on top of the cookie-name/cookie-domain fix:
--cookie-refresh=2m30s
The session died FIVE MINUTES after sign-in. Keycloak's homelab realm issues
300-second access tokens (MEASURED on a live session: expires - created =
300.000s exactly, with refresh_token:true on the same line), and
--cookie-refresh defaults to 0 -- which the pinned binary's own help spells
"0 to disable". So the proxy held a refresh token it was never told to spend.
Refresh at HALF the lifetime: two chances to renew before expiry.
This, not the collision, is what dominates the rejection VOLUME -- ~95% of
radarr's 155 rejections in 12h carry no cookie at all.
--metrics-address=0.0.0.0:44180 + a `metrics` container port
Without the flag the /metrics listener never starts, so no per-app sidecar was
serving metrics at all (`ports` was ['http'] on all six). 44180 is the
platform's existing convention, measured not chosen: the shared proxy already
runs the same flag and port with 2 ready endpoints.
PREREQUISITE ONLY -- NOT scraped. A container port is not a Service port, and
each namespace's default-deny baseline is `ingress: []`, so this is unreachable
until a Service port (or PodMonitor), a monitoring allow and a ServiceMonitor
land. Do not read this as "the sidecars have metrics now".
EVERY FLAG VERIFIED AGAINST THE PINNED v7.8.1 BINARY (`--help`), not against docs or
the shared proxy -- which runs v7.15.3 and could not have vouched for v7.8.1:
* --metrics-address exists in 7.8.1, so this cannot crashloop the pods
* --cookie-refresh ... "0 to disable" confirms the default
* --cookie-name ... (default "_oauth2_proxy") -- this confirms from the
IMPLEMENTATION the constant the new L0 check is built on
* --api-route is SINGULAR; the plural does not exist and the proxy refuses to start
* --session-cookie-minimal exists and is mutually exclusive with --cookie-refresh,
so dropping --pass-access-token is a least-privilege argument, never a size fix
NOT done, deliberately: --api-route=^/api/ renderer-wide. It was measured on jackett
and PiHole does not serve /api/, so a renderer constant would apply one app's path
shape to five. It needs a per-app hook the `auth` schema forbids
(additionalProperties: false) -- a schema change, separate PR.
Also records the mechanism that made this INTERMITTENT, as a renderer comment, because
nobody would reconstruct it from the flags: the loser does not just fail to read the
cookie, it calls ClearSession, which expires the cookie on its own --cookie-domain --
the whole zone. The *arr UIs poll (/api/v3/command, /api/v3/queue/details,
/signalr/negotiate), so every poll carrying an undecryptable cookie clears it again:
A LEFT-OPEN RADARR TAB DELETED JACKETT'S COOKIE EVERY FEW SECONDS, from another
namespace, with no user action. That is why signing in again never helped for longer
than the gap between two polls.
Crafty's counter-evidence resolved: the 81:1 ratio was a 24h window straddling a
13h52m-old pod. Bounded to the fixed process, crafty's ENTIRE life is 3 rejections in
6743 log lines, with ZERO `removing session` and ZERO `cookie signature not valid`
against unfixed radarr's 8 and 8. The eviction fingerprint is gone where the fix is
deployed. It logged 0 AuthSuccess too, so that is absence-of-the-failure-mode rather
than a session watched working -- stated as such in the handoff.
Renderer selftest gains six assertions, including a --cookie-refresh check that PARSES
the duration and requires 0 < refresh < 300s (so 2m30s/150s/2.5m all stay green while a
silent widening past the token lifetime does not). NOTE, and it is in the handoff as the
top follow-up: NOTHING IN ci/ RUNS `render.py --selftest`, so those assertions are
dev-time only. conformance/tests/l0-static/auditability-proofs-producible/check.sh:291
already drives other tools' selftests for exactly this reason and is the one-line fix.
Gate (toolbox, worktree shim with the spec repo mounted at /home-network-k3s): rc 3
UNDETERMINED. Green: spec-immutability, decisions-log, lint, l0, render-golden, l1,
approval-policy. Skipped: gitea-settings (no local token), conformance (declared).
The new L0 check PASSES on this branch -- all five apps fixed in one commit.

home-network-k3s-impl
Implementation of the home k3s + Longhorn platform. This repo holds the reconciled artifacts
(Flux config, Kustomize overlays, KubeVirt/Helm manifests, ServiceDefinitions, Kyverno policies,
Chainsaw conformance tests, CI). It is driven by — and subordinate to — the read-only
specification at ../home-network-k3s.
Rules (from the spec — non-negotiable)
- The spec is read-only. Never modify anything under
../home-network-k3s. Implement against it; escalate spec problems, don't edit them (specAGENTS.md§11, R-TEST-06). - Done = a green, reproducible, requirement-tagged conformance test — never "merged," never a
manual demo (spec
docs/14,agents/definition-of-done.md). - No work on
main. Every change is a feature branch merged intomain(specCONTRIBUTING.md). - No plaintext secrets — SOPS-encrypted only (spec
docs/07). - Phase discipline — only build what the active roadmap phase authorizes (spec
roadmap/phases.md).

Status
Roadmap phases 0–6 are delivered, and Phase 7 (Production Readiness) is OPEN and in
progress. clusters/prod is no longer a design-only overlay: prod is the live cluster, serving the
apex home.keithjackson.dev. The dev cluster was decommissioned on 2026-09-12 (full migration:
dev out, prod onto the apex — see the DECISIONS-LOG), so phases 0–6 are now exercised on prod
hardware rather than on Proxmox VMs.
Phase 7 exit criteria — prod runs the same config via the prod overlay; DR proven; monitoring + alerts live:
| criterion | state |
|---|---|
| prod runs the prod overlay | met — 3× mini-PC bare metal, one Flux tree, prod overlay only |
| monitoring + alerts live | met 2026-09-13 — see the note below; this was not true before that date |
| DR proven | R-STATE-03 PROVEN on prod 2026-09-14 — off-cluster restore from Cloudflare R2. R-STATE-02 (node-loss) is still dev-only |
DR restore is proven on prod. R-STATE-03 reads proven in --status as of 2026-09-14 —
the first requirement in this repo to reach that state. Both of its verifiers are recorded:
dr-restore (L3, run 20260914T021505Z-24b8111, sentinel DR_RESTORED_FROM_OFF_CLUSTER_BACKUP_OK)
and placeholder-guard-coupling (L0). The L3 drill seeds a canary on the replicated longhorn
class, backs the namespace and volume data up off-cluster, destroys every in-cluster copy
(namespace, PVC and PV), restores into a clean namespace, and asserts the restored PVC binds a
different PersistentVolume — so an in-cluster survival cannot pass as a restore.
What remains for Phase 7: R-STATE-02 (node-loss) is still proven only on the decommissioned
dev cluster. That drill takes a real node down on a live cluster, so it is a deliberate, scheduled
exercise rather than something to run in passing.
Read --coverage-only and --status as two different questions; the earlier PROVEN: 0 was not a
bug but the honest answer, because proofs are claims about a specific tree on a specific cluster.
| Phase | Delivered |
|---|---|
| 0 Foundations | ServiceDefinition schema + renderer, Kyverno L0 gate, conformance harness, CI |
| 1 Cluster bring-up | 3-node k3s HA, embedded etcd, kube-vip VIP, Cilium, Flux, SOPS. Originally Proxmox VMs; now 3× mini-PC bare metal (k3s-prod-1/2/3, 192.168.2.10/.11/.12, k3s v1.36.4+k3s1, Debian 13) |
| 2 Platform core | Cilium · Longhorn · cert-manager (LE-prod wildcard) · ExternalDNS · Gateway API · split-horizon DNS, both halves: CoreDNS for pods, and PiHole as the authoritative LAN resolver for ${BASE_DOMAIN} on udp/53 + tcp/53 at a pinned VIP (192.168.2.23 on prod). The LAN half was claimed from the start but did not exist until 2026-09-14 — PiHole's Service was ClusterIP :80/:4180, so LAN clients ran on hand-maintained per-client dnsmasq files |
| 3 Egress / VPN | ADR-0015 node-level OpenVPN split-tunnel + Cilium egress-gateway steering + host kill-switch |
| 4 Observability | kube-prometheus-stack · Loki · Alloy · Alertmanager. Velero unblocked 2026-09-13 — backs up to Cloudflare R2 (OQ-BKP closed; the velero-plugin-for-aws tagging incompatibility needed a pinned plugin). Longhorn has no backup target by decision: volume data is protected by Velero + kopia to R2. image-automation authored but disabled |
| 5 IaaS | KubeVirt + CDI on real nested KVM; live-migratable RWX VM storage. The UniFi VM runs, but UniFi OS Server is not yet installed in the guest |
| 6 Identity + CI | Keycloak (Operator + CNPG) · oauth2-proxy forward-auth · Grafana OIDC · kubectl OIDC SSO with group→RBAC · in-cluster Gitea Actions merge gate |
| 7 Production readiness | IN PROGRESS (DR restore proven 2026-09-14; node-loss outstanding). Prod live on bare metal serving the apex; dev decommissioned; CNPG HA 3 instances with primaries spread one per node; NFS bulk media + legacy Nextcloud mounted; VPN egress on prod. Alerting made real 2026-09-13 (Longhorn, cert-manager, Flux and twelve app SLIs had all been unable to fire). Open: node-loss (R-STATE-02) re-proven on prod. |
Conformance: 51 / 51 requirements covered (100%), 0 gaps, 0 safety-critical gaps (closed
2026-09-13; R-C2-01/R-C2-02 were the last two). Regenerate with
./conformance/run.sh --coverage-only; the full report is
conformance/_artifacts/coverage/coverage.md.
Coverage is not proof. A requirement is covered when an executable test exists for it, and
PROVEN only when a recorded run of that test is in conformance/runs/ledger.jsonl at the current
SHA on the cluster it claims. Read both numbers: --coverage-only for the first, --status for the
second.
The running narrative — decisions, root causes, incidents, follow-ups — is
DECISIONS-LOG.md. It, not this table, is the authoritative record.
Working on this repo
Everything the gate needs is baked into the pinned dev container — do not install the toolchain on the host:
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh build # once
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh run make -C ci gate # the same gate CI runs
infra/devcontainer/dev.sh # interactive shell (sops, flux, kubectl, tofu, ansible)
The container mounts the repo at /work, your age keyring, and the sibling spec repo read-only
so the spec-immutability check can actually run. See
infra/devcontainer/README.md.
A green run prints MERGE GATE: PASS. The L2/L3 conformance layers stay SKIPPED unless
CLUSTER_AVAILABLE=true — the static gate never pretends to have run them.
