jakman85andClaude Opus 5 e4bd76070e fix(qbittorrent): a durable WebUI credential, and the two bugs the WIP hid
Finishes the inherited WIP. qBittorrent 5.x had no WebUI\Username or
WebUI\Password_PBKDF2 in its conf, so it minted a NEW random admin password on
every process start. Both consequences had ALREADY fired: measured before this
change, `POST /api/v3/downloadclient/testall` returned isValid:false with
"Authentication Failure" on BOTH Sonarr and Radarr, so Completed Download
Handling was silently broken, and no human had a stable login either.

Mechanism: the SOPS/age qbittorrent-bootstrap Secret is the single source of
truth; a lifecycle.postStart hook derives qBittorrent's own stored form
(PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512, 100000 iterations, 16-byte salt, 64-byte digest) and
asserts it into the conf on EVERY container start, then logs in to the WebUI to
prove it. Level-triggered like the repo's CronJob reconcilers, but triggered by
the container start because the failure it closes IS a container start: a cron
would leave a window after every restart in which the app serves a random
password, and would have to edit an RWO PVC from outside, under a running
process. AuthSubnetWhitelist was rejected — authentication is not weakened.

Two real bugs found in the WIP, both the postBuild-substitution trap:

  * PORT came from a doubled-dollar WEBUI_PORT expansion. Correct on the cluster
    (envsubst collapses it) and the renderer accepts it, but run any other way
    bash reads the doubled dollar as its PID, so every curl got an unparseable
    URL and the hook logged "the WebUI rejected the durable credential" three
    times having never asked it anything — see the marker log at 05:35Z. Now a
    literal PORT=8080; the script contains no braced expansion at all and
    behaves identically however it is run.
  * One shared wait budget covered both the s6 wait and the API wait, so the
    first consumed all 90s and attempts 2-3 fired instantly. Separate counters
    now; "the API never answered" is reported as a distinct fault from "the
    password was rejected"; and a rejection restarts qbittorrent-nox so a retry
    can actually change its outcome.

apps/wave-0/kustomization.yaml did not list the SOPS secret, so Flux would never
have applied it and the adoption of the live-only, kubectl-client-side-apply
qbittorrent-bootstrap Secret would silently not have happened. Listed now; the
decrypted values are SHA-256-identical to the live Secret's, so adopting it
cannot change the password.

Proven on prod: testall flipped isValid false -> true on both apps; after
deleting and recreating the pod the conf still held both keys, the WebUI answered
Ok. to a login with the credential decrypted from git, and both arrs still
reported isValid:true. The post-envsubst manifest was audited as `flux build
kustomization` emits it (no doubled dollar, no braced expansion, PORT=8080,
bash -n clean) and the hook's write path was exercised in-container against a
scratch conf: exit 10 when the keys are absent, exit 0 and a byte-identical file
on a second run, digest verified by an independent PBKDF2.

NOT proven, and recorded as such in DECISIONS-LOG: the hook has not yet run as a
real postStart on prod — the Deployment is Flux-owned from main and both routes
to the live object were refused by the session's permission classifier. Verify
on merge that the marker log gains a VERIFIED line on the next pod start.

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 Kustomization apps-wave-<N> (clusters/base/apps-wave-<N>.yaml), which dependsOn wave N-1 (wave 0 dependsOn platform-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.yaml and clusters/base/apps-wave-<N>.yaml are generated — run python3 catalog/render.py --emit-waves after 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>-db is a leaf and always lands strictly below its consumer.

See ../DESIGN-waves.md for the wave table, Flux topology, and the cutover runbook.
