Stand up a centralized logging estate that captures ALL logs from k8s pods and
(via a reachable ingestion endpoint) puppet-managed VMs, storing them in
ClickHouse for query/retention. Metrics already live in VictoriaMetrics; this
adds the logs pillar under a dedicated `logging` ArgoCD project.
Deploy the Altinity clickhouse-operator (clickhouse-system) and a single-shard
ClickHouseInstallation (logging) on cephrbd-fast-delete with a MergeTree
logs.raw table (30d TTL) bootstrapped by an idempotent PostSync Job.
Deploy Vector as an explicit two tiers:
- Edge (thin): a DaemonSet tails every node's pod logs and forwards over the
Vector-native protocol to the aggregator; no parsing at the edge. Future VM
agents follow the same thin pattern.
- Aggregator (brain): HA StatefulSet that is the sole ClickHouse writer, holds
the only ClickHouse credentials, owns all transforms, batches into few fat
inserts (avoid too-many-parts), and buffers to disk (PVC) to ride out a
ClickHouse outage. Its pipeline is a single source-of-truth config validated
by `vector test` in CI; per-app pipelines become aggregator-only changes.
Expose the VM ingestion endpoint at logs-ingest.k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net via the
internal Traefik gateway (cert-manager + external-dns), routing to the
aggregator's HTTP source so puppet VMs can reach it over TLS.
Source ClickHouse credentials from Vault via the existing VaultStaticSecret
pattern (templated k8s auth policy already grants the logging namespace);
password hash never lands in git.

Deploy bind-operator v0.2.6 (bind-operator#15): NOTIFYs are now TSIG-signed via the catalog transfer key and secondaries accept by key, with no pod IPs in restart-scoped config — a regression test asserts the config-hash is invariant under pod IP churn, making the v0.2.5 roll-loop class impossible. Restores seconds-fast dynamic-zone propagation on bind-externaldns and bind-authoritative.
- Bumps the operator image to git.unkin.net/unkin/bind-operator:v0.2.6 (confirmed in registry)

v0.2.5 renders the primary POD IP into the options-scope allow-notify. Options changes are restart-scoped (config-hash annotation), and every roll gives the primary a new pod IP, so the operator re-renders and rolls all bind clusters in an endless loop (externaldns, authoritative, resolvers all cycling ~45s pods right now).
- Reverts the operator image and CRD pin to v0.2.4
A v0.2.6 will re-do the NOTIFY fix loop-free (allow-notify via zone-scope/rndc-applied config or a TSIG-keyed notify instead of pod-IP-in-options). MERGE ASAP to stabilize DNS.

## Why
Step 3 of 3 in the external-dns → in-cluster bind migration: the client-visible cutover. The `openforwarder` resolvers currently forward `k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net` to the legacy VM anycast `198.18.19.20` (a temporary measure — commit 7ee5dfb) and have NO forwarder at all for the reverse zone `200.18.198.in-addr.arpa`. Once external-dns publishes to the in-cluster `bind-externaldns` (PR 2), resolvers must read from it.
## Changes
- Repoints the `fwd-k8s-syd1-au-unkin-net` forwarder from `198.18.19.20` (legacy VM) to `198.18.200.8` (in-cluster `bind-externaldns` VIP).
- Adds `fwd-200-18-198-in-addr-arpa` forwarding `200.18.198.in-addr.arpa` → `198.18.200.8`, closing the reverse-zone gap so PTR lookups for the k8s LB range keep resolving after cutover. Modeled exactly on the existing forward-zone entries.
- Refreshes the header comment to describe the in-cluster upstream.
`kubectl kustomize apps/overlays/au-syd1/bind-internal` builds clean; both zones render with forwarder `198.18.200.8` and there is no residual `198.18.19.20`.
## Merge gate
- PR 2 (`benvin/externaldns-incluster`) merged, AND
- record parity confirmed between legacy and in-cluster for the forward zone. Spot-check (repeat for each name):
```
for n in puppetca puppet puppetdb encapi pdbmux artifactapi consul; do
echo "$n:"
dig +short @198.18.19.20 A $n.k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net
dig +short @198.18.200.8 A $n.k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net
done
# plus 2-3 PTRs in the reverse zone:
dig +short @198.18.19.20 -x 198.18.200.8
dig +short @198.18.200.8 -x 198.18.200.8
```
A/PTR answers from `198.18.200.8` must match those from `198.18.19.20` before merging.
## Verification (after merge)
```
dig +short @198.18.200.7 A puppet.k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net # resolvers VIP
dig +short @198.18.200.7 -x 198.18.200.8 # reverse via resolvers
```
Resolution through the `bind-resolvers` VIP should now answer for both the forward and reverse k8s zones.
## Rollback
Revert this PR — the `fwd-k8s-syd1-au-unkin-net` forwarder returns to `198.18.19.20` and the reverse forward is removed. The legacy VM is untouched and remains authoritative until decommission.

## Why
cephrgw-operator **v0.3.1** logs a startup WARNING when its installed CRDs are missing or older than the operator (operator repo #6, merged) — added precisely because the CRD tag drifted behind the image before. The new startup check reads the `CustomResourceDefinition` objects, so it needs a small RBAC grant.
## Changes
- bump the operator image `git.unkin.net/unkin/cephrgw-operator` → `v0.3.1`
- bump the CRD `install.yaml` tag → `v0.3.1` (keep CRDs in step with the image — the invariant the v0.3.1 warning enforces)
- add `apiextensions.k8s.io/customresourcedefinitions: [get, list]` to the operator ClusterRole so the startup check is not RBAC-denied
Validated with `kustomize build` on the au-syd1 overlay; the v0.3.1 CRD URL resolves. Supersedes nothing outstanding (the earlier CRD-tag PR #286 to v0.3.0 already merged).

## Why
Step 1 of 3 in the external-dns → in-cluster bind migration. For external-dns to send RFC2136 updates to the in-cluster `bind-externaldns` primary, it must present the exact TSIG key the primary's `allow-update` accepts. The bind-operator generates that key material into Secret `externaldns-key-tsig` in `bind-internal`; reflecting it into the `externaldns` namespace removes the manual eyaml→Vault key sync and guarantees key parity.
## Changes
- Adds `spec.secretTemplate.annotations` to BindTSIGKey `externaldns-key` with the emberstack reflector hints: `reflection-allowed`, `reflection-allowed-namespaces: externaldns`, `reflection-auto-enabled`, `reflection-auto-namespaces: externaldns`.
- Regenerates `schemas/bind.unkin.net/bindtsigkey_v1alpha1.json` from the live CRD (deployed bind-operator v0.2.4 already exposes `secretTemplate` — the WIP branch's ">= v0.3.0" claim is stale) to add the `secretTemplate` property. Schema output is byte-identical to running `ci/generate-schemas.sh`.
`kubectl kustomize apps/overlays/au-syd1/bind-internal` builds clean and renders the annotations onto the BindTSIGKey.
## Verification (after merge)
```
kubectl -n externaldns get secret externaldns-key-tsig \
-o jsonpath='{.data.secret} {.data.algorithm}{"\n"}'
```
Both `secret` and `algorithm` keys must be present (reflector mirrored the source Secret from bind-internal).
## Rollback
Revert this PR. The source Secret in bind-internal is unaffected; only the reflected mirror in `externaldns` is removed.
Merge order: this is PR 1/3. PR 2 (repoint external-dns) must not merge until the reflected secret is verified.

## Why
The `cephrgw-system` kustomization pinned the CRD source to **`raw/tag/v0.1.0/config/crd/install.yaml`**, so the in-cluster CRDs never gained the fields added since v0.1.0 — v0.2.0's fine-grained BucketAccess policy fields (`paths`/`actions`/`conditions`/`rawStatements`) and v0.3.0's adoption fields (`retainOnDelete`, `managePolicy`, `status.adopted`). The running operator is v0.3.0, so applying those specs fails with `strict decoding error: unknown field`. The image bumps (#273, #279) should have moved this tag too.
## Changes
- point the CRD `install.yaml` at `raw/tag/v0.3.0`
The tag must track the operator image tag on future bumps. Verified the v0.3.0 URL serves the new schema and `kustomize build` renders all 3 CRDs.

## Why
Turns on right-sizing telemetry for the whole estate. Adds a `VerticalPodAutoscaler` with `updateMode: "Off"` (recommendation-only, advise mode) for every Deployment and StatefulSet in `apps/base`. Off mode never evicts or mutates pods, so this is purely observational: the VPA recommender (added in the vpa-system PR) publishes suggested requests/limits in each VPA's status, and nothing acts on them until someone deliberately flips a mode.
## Changes
- Add one `vpa.yaml` per app under `apps/base/<app>/` containing a `<workload>-vpa` VerticalPodAutoscaler for each workload, and register it in that app's `kustomization.yaml`.
- Coverage: 17 workloads across 11 apps.
- age-api (age-api), artifactapi (api, redis, ui), authentik (redis), bind-system (bind-operator), cephrgw-system (cephrgw-operator), encapi (encapi), kanidm (kanidm StatefulSet), litellm (litellm, redis), paperclip (paperclip), pdbmux (pdbmux), puppet (puppetboard, puppetdb, puppetserver-compiler, puppetserver-master).
## Skipped (intentionally)
- **CNPG `Cluster` objects** (artifactapi, authentik, encapi, grafana, litellm, paperclip, puppet, woodpecker) — Postgres is managed by CloudNativePG, not a VPA target.
- **CronJobs** (puppet g10k/generate-types, reposync x4) — not VPA-able.
## HPA / VPA caveat
api, ui (artifactapi), litellm, and all four puppet deployments also carry an HPA. With `updateMode: "Off"` there is no conflict today (VPA only recommends). VPA objects targeting these carry an inline comment: do **not** flip to `Auto`/`Initial` while the HPA still autoscales on CPU/memory, or the two controllers will fight over the same resource. Move the HPA to a custom/non-resource metric first.
## Verification
- `kubectl kustomize` over every touched overlay: 9/11 overlays PASS rendering all their VPAs; 2 failures are pre-existing and unrelated to this change — `authentik` fails on a local helm-tooling flag error identically on origin/main, and `paperclip` has no `apps/overlays/au-syd1/paperclip` directory yet. Both apps' base kustomizations build clean and render their VPA.
## Merge gate
- **Requires the vpa-system CRDs PR (argocd-apps #281) to merge first.** These manifests use `autoscaling.k8s.io/v1 VerticalPodAutoscaler`; without the CRDs installed, ArgoCD sync fails on an unknown kind.

## Why
Rolls out the Vertical Pod Autoscaler control plane so the estate can gather right-sizing recommendations for every workload (advise mode, follow-up PR adds the per-workload VPA objects). Deploys the **recommender only**: advise mode never mutates pods, so the updater and admission-controller (and its mutating webhook) are intentionally omitted — fewer moving parts, no webhook in the admission path.
## Changes
- Add `apps/base/vpa-system/`: namespace, VPA CRDs (verticalpodautoscalers + verticalpodautoscalercheckpoints) pulled from the kubernetes/autoscaler repo at the pinned tag (same upstream-raw pattern node-feature-discovery uses), recommender-scoped RBAC (SA + metrics-reader/actor/status-actor/checkpoint-actor/target-reader), and the recommender Deployment.
- Add `apps/overlays/au-syd1/vpa-system/` referencing the base.
- Register `apps/overlays/*/vpa-system` in the platform ApplicationSet.
## Notes
- Pins upstream **vertical-pod-autoscaler-1.7.0** (latest stable, 2026-05-29) for both CRDs and the `registry.k8s.io/autoscaling/vpa-recommender:1.7.0` image.
- No platform AppProject change needed: `*-system` namespace destination plus CustomResourceDefinition/ClusterRole/ClusterRoleBinding are already whitelisted.

## Merge gate
- Requires terraform-artifactapi PR #13 (adds the `autoscaling/vpa-` pattern to the k8s-registry docker remote) to land first so the recommender image is served through the cache.

## Why
Phase 1 of the consul VM to k8s migration: bring the k8s consul cluster to ACL parity with the authoritative VM cluster before the eventual snapshot-restore. The VM cluster runs ACLs enabled with `default_policy: deny` and `down_policy: extend-cache`; the k8s cluster currently runs with **ACLs disabled**. Sourcing the bootstrap/management token from Vault lets the k8s cluster bootstrap with the **same** `initial_management` token as the VM cluster, so puppet automation and the snapshot-restore line up. No token material is placed in git.
## Changes
- Enable `global.acls.manageSystemACLs` so the chart manages system ACL tokens/policies for consul components.
- Point `global.acls.bootstrapToken` at a pre-existing Kubernetes secret `consul-bootstrap-acl-token` (key `token`); chart 1.9.7 supports this, and when the secret is populated the `server-acl-init` job **skips bootstrapping** and adopts that token as the management token (renders `-bootstrap-token-secret-name`/`-bootstrap-token-secret-key`, verified in the kustomize output).
- Add a `VaultAuth` (mount `k8s/au/syd1`, role `default`, SA `default`) and `VaultStaticSecret` in the `consul` namespace that sync `kv/kubernetes/namespace/consul/default/bootstrap-acl-token` into the `consul-bootstrap-acl-token` k8s secret via VSO (mirrors the encapi pattern).
- Merge the `acl` block (`enabled`, `default_policy: deny`, `down_policy: extend-cache`, `enable_token_persistence`) into the server `extraConfig` to match the VM posture.
## OPERATIONAL NOTE — required BEFORE merge
The user MUST place the VM cluster's `initial_management` token in Vault first, or ACL bootstrapping will generate a *different* token and break the mirror:
```
vault kv put kv/kubernetes/namespace/consul/default/bootstrap-acl-token token=<VM initial_management token>
```
VSO then syncs it into the `consul-bootstrap-acl-token` secret before the `server-acl-init` job runs. No terraform-vault change is needed: the wildcard `default` k8s-auth role (`bound_service_account_namespaces: ['*']`) plus the templated `kv/kubernetes/default` policy already grant the `consul` namespace `default` SA read on `kv/kubernetes/namespace/consul/default/*`.
## Risk / expected behavior
- Enabling ACLs **rolls the 5 servers** (StatefulSet update) and runs a `server-acl-init` job.
- With `default_policy: deny`, previously-anonymous operations are denied. The `vault` service in the k8s catalog is self-registered by the Vault/OpenBao servers (namespace `vault`) via their `service_registration "consul"` stanza (catalog entry has `ServiceMeta.external-source: vault`, port 8200). After the flip this registration will be **denied** unless Vault is given a Consul ACL token with `service:write` on `vault` (and the anonymous token is not granted that). This must be handled as part of the cutover — either grant the anonymous token limited write, or configure a token in Vault's consul service_registration.
- Anonymous HTTP API reads (e.g. `/v1/status/leader`) will also be denied post-merge unless a token is supplied — see PR 2 verification note.
## Ordering
Independent of the API-route PR (`benvin/consul-api-route`). Both precede phase 3 (snapshot). Do not merge until the Vault step above is done.

## Why
The puppet-on-k8s compilers classify nodes with a uv/python ENC script (`encapi-enc`). Each fresh compiler pod resolves the script's python dependencies on first invocation, and that resolution fails on cold pods (observed exits 135/2), breaking puppet agent catalog compilation. `encapic` (git.unkin.net/unkin/encapic) is a stdlib-only Go replacement with no runtime dependency resolution — a behavioural drop-in whose output matches the python script byte-for-byte.
## Changes
- Points the compiler `external_nodes` at `/opt/bin/encapic`.
- Reworks the `setup-shared-bins` init container to `curl` the encapic `v0.1.0` `encapic_linux_amd64` release binary (sha256-verified against the published `.sha256`, installed mode 0755) into the shared bins dir, instead of copying the python script and installing uv.
- Removes the `puppet-encapi-enc` configmap generator, its volume and mount, and the `resources/encapi-enc` script. uv was consumed solely by that script (grep of `apps/base/puppet` confirms no other consumer), so its installation is removed too.
`kubectl kustomize apps/overlays/au-syd1/puppet` builds clean.
## Merge gate
Do not merge until the encapic `v0.1.0` release assets exist:

## Why
The k8s puppetserver compilers classify nodes via an exec ENC that today queries legacy Cobbler (`https://cobbler.main.unkin.net`) over TLS. `encapi` now runs in-cluster and exposes a cobbler-wire-compatible endpoint (`GET /cblr/svc/op/puppet/hostname/<certname>`), a drop-in for the Cobbler URL. This cuts the puppet-on-k8s ENC over from Cobbler to encapi — a prerequisite for migrating VM agents onto puppet-on-k8s.
## Changes
- Rename the ENC script `resources/cobbler-enc` -> `resources/encapi-enc`, and its configmap `puppet-cobbler-enc` -> `puppet-encapi-enc` (kustomization configMapGenerator + deployment volume, initContainer copy path, and volumeMount subPath).
- Point `external_nodes` in the compiler `puppet.conf` at `/opt/bin/encapi-enc`.
- Target the in-cluster encapi service `http://encapi.encapi.svc.cluster.local` (plain HTTP), overridable via the `ENCAPI_URL` env var.
- Drop the `/opt/vault-ca-cert.crt` verify for the ENC request (no TLS needed in-cluster).
- Leave the response normalization identical: classes coerced to a list, `enc_role`/`enc_env` params set, `environment` stripped when it equals `testing`.
Verified with `kubectl kustomize apps/overlays/au-syd1/puppet` (builds clean, exit 0); the generated `puppet-encapi-enc` configmap contains the new URL and env var.
## 🚨 Merge gate
**Do not merge until encapi is seeded** (terraform-incus `benvin/encapi-seed` PR applied). An empty encapi means every node resolves to a 404. On 404 the ENC script exits non-zero, so puppet fails the compile rather than classifying the node with zero classes — nodes will fail to run until they exist in encapi. Seed encapi first so real nodes classify correctly; only unknown nodes should 404.

## Why
During the VM -> k8s Puppet migration, two PuppetDBs coexist and nodes move
between them as they migrate. `node-lookup` (and `pblastreport`) need a single,
consistent PuppetDB v4 view spanning both. `pdbmux` is a small merging proxy
that provides exactly that. Per the all-in-kubernetes estate direction it runs
as an in-cluster service, not a per-VM systemd unit.
pdbmux now lives in its own repository (https://git.unkin.net/unkin/pdbmux) —
split out of the earlier node-lookup prototype — and is released as a container
image on its own `v*` tags.
## Changes
- Add `apps/base/pdbmux/` (namespace, configmap, deployment, service, gateway,
httproute), modeled directly on the encapi app.
- Deployment: 2 replicas, image `git.unkin.net/unkin/pdbmux:v0.1.0`, port 8080,
`/healthz` liveness + readiness, config via `PDBMUX_*` env from a ConfigMap.
- Backends: `old=http://puppetdbapi.service.consul:8080`,
`new=http://puppetdb.puppet.svc.cluster.local:8080` (in-cluster, verified
against `apps/base/puppet/service_puppetdb.yaml` port `pdb-http`/8080 — the
in-cluster address is preferred over the external gateway). `new` is
primary/prefer, merge = freshness.
- Expose over HTTPS at `pdbmux.k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net` via a `traefik-internal`
Gateway (cert-manager `vault-issuer`, external-dns), plain-HTTP backend on a
port-80 Service — same shape as the puppetdb/encapi gateways — so
VM/workstation `node-lookup` can reach it.
- Add `apps/overlays/au-syd1/pdbmux/` and wire pdbmux into the platform
ApplicationSet (`apps/overlays/*/pdbmux`) and the platform AppProject
(`pdbmux` namespace destination), exactly as encapi is wired.
No new woodpecker ServiceAccount is required: the pdbmux image push uses the
`docker-buildx` plugin against the Gitea registry with the `default` SA (same as
encapi), not artifactapi.
## Verification
- `kubectl kustomize apps/overlays/au-syd1/pdbmux` builds clean (image resolves
to `git.unkin.net/unkin/pdbmux:v0.1.0`).
- ApplicationSet + AppProject YAML validated.
## Merge gates
1. The pdbmux repo initial-content PR
(unkin/pdbmux#1) must merge first.
2. `v0.1.0` must then be tagged on the pdbmux repo so the image
`git.unkin.net/unkin/pdbmux:v0.1.0` is built and pushed by that repo`s
`.woodpecker/docker.yaml`.
3. Then merge this PR. (If the first release tag differs from `v0.1.0`, update
the image tag in `apps/base/pdbmux/deployment.yaml` to match before merging.)

cephrgw-operator v0.2.0 talks to radosgw over HTTPS (`radosgw.service.consul:443`, fronted by nginx presenting the internal `unkin.net` Vault-PKI cert). With no CA configured the operator fails:
```
Get "https://radosgw.service.consul:443/admin/user?...": tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
```
The `vault-ca-cert` Secret (the `unkin.net` intermediate+root) is already reflected into every namespace — including `cephrgw-system` — so the fix is deployment-only.
## Changes
- mount the `vault-ca-cert` Secret (key `ca.crt`) read-only at `/etc/vault-ca/ca.crt`, following the puppet/artifactapi pattern
- set `CEPH_RGW_CA_FILE=/etc/vault-ca/ca.crt` so the operator adds the CA to its TLS trust
No image change (still `v0.2.0`); `reloader` + a normal reconcile pick it up. Validated with `kustomize build` on the au-syd1 overlay.

The new **terragrunt-enc** repo (single source of truth for encapi ENC data) runs its Terraform apply/plan in Woodpecker and authenticates to Vault via kubernetes auth. The Vault k8s role `woodpecker_terraform_enc` (terraform-vault PR #98) binds to a ServiceAccount named `terraform-enc` in the `woodpecker` namespace, which must exist for that auth to work.
Changes:
- Add `apps/base/woodpecker/serviceaccount_terraform_enc.yaml` (SA `terraform-enc` in namespace `woodpecker`).

## Why
cephrgw-operator **v0.2.0** rebuilds the Ceph integration to talk directly to radosgw via **go-ceph** (Admin Ops API) + **aws-sdk-go-v2** (S3), replacing the manager-dashboard client, and adds **fine-grained bucket-access policies** (paths / actions / conditions / rawStatements). The operator now authenticates with an **RGW admin user's access/secret key** instead of a dashboard login.
Operator repo PRs: unkin/cephrgw-operator #3 (rebuild) and #4 (fine-grained), both merged; tag `v0.2.0`.
## Changes
- bump the operator image `git.unkin.net/unkin/cephrgw-operator` → `v0.2.0`
- update the `envFrom` / `VaultStaticSecret` comments to the `CEPH_RGW_*` credential keys the new image consumes
## Required manual step (runtime)
The VaultStaticSecret copies the KV secret's keys **verbatim**, so the seed must be re-put with the new keys before/with rollout — otherwise the operator fails auth:
```
vault kv put kv/kubernetes/namespace/cephrgw-system/default/cephrgw-credentials \
CEPH_RGW_ENDPOINT=https://s3.ceph.unkin.net \
CEPH_RGW_ADMIN_ENDPOINT=https://radosgw.service.consul:443 \
CEPH_RGW_ACCESS_KEY=<key> CEPH_RGW_SECRET_KEY=<secret>
```
(The old `CEPH_DASHBOARD_*` keys are ignored by v0.2.0.) VSO refreshes within 5m and the `reloader` annotation restarts the operator.

Kubernetes nodes querying the bind-resolvers LoadBalancer VIP (198.18.200.7) get REFUSED (EDE 18 Prohibited).
The service is `externalTrafficPolicy: Local`, which preserves the client source IP for traffic entering the cluster from outside — but a node querying the VIP never leaves via OSPF. Its own kube-proxy DNATs the LB IP in the OUTPUT chain and masquerades the source to a cluster-internal address (the node's flannel.1, e.g. 10.42.x.x). That address is not in `acl-main.unkin.net`, so the openforwarder view's match-clients rejects the query.
External clients preserve their real source IP and match acl-main, which is why only in-cluster hosts were affected.
Add `10.42.0.0/16` to `acl-main.unkin.net` so node-originated (masqueraded) resolver queries are permitted. This mirrors the authoritative cluster, which already allows the pod network (`allow-query { ...; 10.42.0.0/16; }`).

Picks up immediate NOTIFY of secondaries on primary zone changes (also-notify
+ shorter seed SOA timers), so dynamic updates / CRD records replicate across
the authoritative replicas in seconds instead of waiting up to the SOA refresh.
Bumps both the operator image and the CRD install.yaml tag.
The bind-resolvers `openforwarder` view forwarded `k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net` to the in-cluster bind-externaldns (198.18.200.8), which is not reliably serving those records yet, so lookups return NXDOMAIN.
Concrete impact: Gitea cannot resolve the k8s-hosted CI host, so its outbound webhook fails and tagged releases never trigger CI (e.g. cutting a new bind-operator release from a tag).
This points the `fwd-k8s-syd1-au-unkin-net` forwarder at the existing external external-dns bind service anycast **198.18.19.20** (puppet `roles::infra::dns::externaldns` — master `ausyd1nxvm2127` + slaves `2128`/`2129`, advertised via OSPF), which still holds the working `k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net` records. It is in the same 198.18.19.0/24 anycast family as the consul forwarder (198.18.19.14) the resolvers already use, so it is reachable from the pods.
Temporary measure. Revert to 198.18.200.8 once external-dns publishes to the in-cluster bind-externaldns service. Only the forward target changes; no CRD/schema changes.

Pairs with terraform-authentik#10: request the litellm_role scope (Authentik
emits the computed role claim) and read it via GENERIC_USER_ROLE_ATTRIBUTE so
akP-litellm-admin -> proxy_admin, akP-litellm-user -> internal_user.
App-side of the LiteLLM Authentik onboarding (terraform-authentik#8). Configures
LiteLLM's generic OIDC SSO against Authentik.
- VaultStaticSecret oauth-credentials: surfaces the OIDC client secret (same
secret Authentik sets on the provider) as a k8s Secret.
- Deployment: GENERIC_CLIENT_SECRET from that Secret.
- litellm-env: GENERIC_CLIENT_ID, authorization/token/userinfo endpoints, scope,
and PROXY_BASE_URL (required for SSO). reloader restarts on secret/config change.
## Why
Every bind-operator dynamic update is refused (`update ... denied due to allow-query`) because the operator execs `nsupdate` against `127.0.0.1` inside the primary pod, and the BindCluster `allow-query` listed only the client subnets (`auth-acl-main`) and the pod net (`10.42.0.0/16`) — not loopback. This blocked ALL DNSRecords (identity, s3, dashboard, lb1) from ever applying.
## Change
- Add `localhost` to the BindCluster `allow-query` in `apps/base/bind-internal/authoritative/cluster.yaml`. The `client-update` TSIG key still gates the actual update.

Follow-up to the cephrgw-operator deploy (#261): source the operator's Ceph dashboard credentials from Vault via VSO instead of a hand-created Secret.
## Changes
- Add `apps/base/cephrgw-system/vaultauth.yaml`: `VaultAuth` (mount `k8s/au/syd1`, role `cephrgw-operator`, SA `cephrgw-operator`, `vaultConnectionRef: vso-system/default`).
- Add `apps/base/cephrgw-system/vaultstaticsecret.yaml`: renders KV `service/cephrgw/dashboard-credentials` into the `cephrgw-credentials` Secret (keys copied verbatim → consumed by the Deployment via `envFrom`; the reloader annotation restarts the operator on rotation).
- Reference both from the base kustomization.
## Dependencies / ordering
- Requires the Vault role + policy from **terraform-vault #95** (merge/apply first), and the KV values to be seeded out-of-band:

## Why
The new `cephrgw-operator` provisions Ceph RGW (S3) buckets and access keys (RW/RO) from Kubernetes CRDs via the Ceph manager dashboard API. This deploys it as a platform app.
## Changes
- Add `apps/base/cephrgw-system`: namespace, ServiceAccount + ClusterRole/Binding (manage `ceph.unkin.net` CRDs, Secrets, leader-election leases), and the operator Deployment. CRDs are pulled from the operator repo at tag `v0.1.0`; the Deployment sources dashboard credentials from the `cephrgw-credentials` Secret via `envFrom` and carries the reloader annotation.
- Add `apps/overlays/au-syd1/cephrgw-system` referencing the base.
- Register `apps/overlays/*/cephrgw-system` in the platform ApplicationSet.
The platform AppProject already permits `*-system` namespaces and the Namespace/ClusterRole/CRD cluster resources, so no project change is needed.
## Ordering / dependencies
- Depends on the Gitea repo from terraform-git #34 and on the operator being pushed + tagged **v0.1.0** (image `git.unkin.net/unkin/cephrgw-operator:v0.1.0` and the raw CRD `install.yaml` at that tag). The `kubeconform` check will stay red until v0.1.0 exists, then go green.
- The `cephrgw-credentials` Secret must be created out-of-band in `cephrgw-system` (see the operator's `docs/ceph-setup.md`); it is intentionally **not** managed in GitOps.

The ceph/halb host (`ausyd1nxvm2069`) publishes `dashboard.ceph.unkin.net` via nsupdate to a dedicated `zone ceph.unkin.net.`, which `bind-authoritative` was not authoritative for (NOTZONE). This adds the zone so that record has a home.
## Changes

## Note — not the root cause of the 6 missing hosts
Log evidence (VictoriaLogs, dns-update-apply on 2069/2070) shows the actual failure is a **host-side bug in the puppet `dns-update` script**: `fqdn()` appends the zone even to records whose name is already fully-qualified (e.g. `au-syd1-pve.main.unkin.net.`, `cobbler.main.unkin.net.`), producing a `..` empty label → `invalid owner name: empty label` → the whole main.unkin.net update `send` fails (reverse PTR, sent first, still lands). That script fix (puppet-prod) is the real blocker; this zone is still needed so the ceph record does not hit NOTZONE afterward.

## Why
Follow-up to #258 (which added workstation+router to the *authoritative* ACL). The **resolver** (bind-resolvers, 198.18.200.7) has its own `acl-main.unkin.net` gating its `openforwarder` view; the workstation is not in it, so recursive queries return REFUSED. This lets the workstation use the resolver as its normal nameserver.

- Add `198.18.21.160/32` (router) explicitly for documentation; already covered by existing `198.18.21.160/27` and `198.18.21.0/24` (no functional change for the router)

## Why
Allow the operator's workstation and router to query the bind-authoritative servers directly. Their source addresses are outside the existing `auth-acl-main` client subnets, so named returns REFUSED to them today. The router sits on 198.18.21.0/24 which is not in the ACL at all.
## Changes
- Add `10.10.12.200/32` (workstation, over wireguard) to `auth-acl-main`
- Add `198.18.21.160/32` (router) to `auth-acl-main`
## Note
This grants query permission only. Reaching the LoadBalancer VIP (198.18.200.6) from off-datacenter paths is separately gated by `externalTrafficPolicy: Local`; the workstation-over-wireguard path still needs its L4 routing addressed to actually land on a node with a ready endpoint.

## Change
- New `DNSRecord/identity-dns-internal` → `198.18.200.4` (the traefik-internal gateway VIP, where the Authentik Gateway serves the `identity.unkin.net` hostname), in the `unkin-net` zone.
- Lives in the **`bind-internal` namespace** alongside the `BindZone`: the operator resolves `zoneRef`/`clusterRef`/`updateKeyRef` within the record's own namespace, so it can't live in the app (authentik) namespace.
- Wired into `apps/base/bind-internal/authoritative/kustomization.yaml`.
- `identity-dns-internal` name distinguishes this from the external DNS that Authentik will manage its own records from later.

v0.2.2's config-hash rolling restart exposed a latent non-determinism: `client.List` returns cache-ordered results, so the resolver's forward zones reshuffled every reconcile, flipping the config hash and rolling `bind-resolvers-2` endlessly. v0.2.3 (bind-operator #11) sorts every rendered list so `named.conf` is byte-identical across reconciles and the hash is stable.
## Changes

- Bump the `bind-tsig-api` image (`bind-internal/tsig-api/tsig-api.yaml`) to `v0.2.3`.
CRDs are unchanged from v0.2.2 (controller-only change), so the generated kubeconform schemas need no update.

## Why
v0.2.2 (bind-operator #10) stamps a `bind.unkin.net/config-hash` on the pod template, so a ConfigMap or `keys.conf` change flips the hash and triggers an operator-driven rolling restart. This fixes the class of bug where config edits (ACLs, forwarders, `validate-except`, primary address, TSIG rotation) never reached running pods — they held a startup snapshot and needed manual pod deletes.
## Changes
- Bump the operator image (`bind-system/deployment.yaml`) and the pulled CRD bundle URL (`bind-system/kustomization.yaml`) to `v0.2.2`.
- Bump the `bind-tsig-api` image (`bind-internal/tsig-api/tsig-api.yaml`) to `v0.2.2`.
CRDs are unchanged from v0.2.1 (controller-only change), so the generated kubeconform schemas need no update.
## Validation

When the v0.2.2 operator first reconciles it stamps the config-hash annotation, triggering **one rolling restart per bind StatefulSet** — expected, and it also pulls in any already-pending config. From then on, config changes roll pods automatically.

## Why — urgent
PR #251 added `validate-except` to the resolver `BindCluster` but the list omitted the trailing semicolon after the final entry. `named` requires **every** entry in a list to be semicolon-terminated, including the last before the closing brace, so it fails config parse and the resolver pods crash-loop:
```
/run/named/named.conf:18: missing ';' before '}'
loading configuration: failure
exiting (due to fatal error)
```
The resolvers (`.7`) are down until this lands; the authoritative (`.6`/`.9`) and externaldns (`.8`) are unaffected.
## Fix
```diff
- validate-except { unkin.net; 18.198.in-addr.arpa; consul }

```
Renders to `validate-except { unkin.net; 18.198.in-addr.arpa; consul; };` — valid.

## Why
Resolving any `unkin.net` record through the resolver (`.7`) returns **SERVFAIL**, while the authoritative (`.6`) answers fine. Confirmed from the resolver's querylog:
```
view openforwarder: validating unkin.net/SOA: got insecure response; parent indicates it should be secure
broken trust chain resolving 'ausyd1nxvm2120.main.unkin.net/A/IN': 198.18.200.6#53
query failed (broken trust chain)
```
The resolver runs `dnssec-validation auto`. The public `unkin.net` is DNSSEC-signed (the `.net` parent publishes a DS), but the in-cluster split-horizon authoritative serves `unkin.net` **unsigned**. The validator sees "parent says secure" + an insecure answer → treats it as spoofing → SERVFAIL. The authoritative works directly because it does no validation.
## Fix
Add `validate-except` (via `spec.extraOptions`) for the forwarded internal domains, so the resolver treats them as insecure and skips validation:
```
validate-except { unkin.net; 18.198.in-addr.arpa; consul }
```
- `unkin.net` covers all `*.unkin.net` (incl. `main.unkin.net`, `k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net`)
- `18.198.in-addr.arpa` covers every `NN.18.198.in-addr.arpa` reverse zone (subtree)
- `consul` covers the consul TLD
This also makes internal resolution independent of Internet egress (no DNSSEC chain-walk needed). External-name validation is unchanged. No operator change required.
## Validation
`bind-internal` renders and passes `kubeconform` (56/56); pre-commit clean.
## Activation
After merge + operator reconcile, the resolver ConfigMap re-renders; the running pods hold a startup snapshot, so they need a reload: `kubectl -n bind-internal rollout restart statefulset/bind-resolvers`.

A from-scratch namespace recreate also comes up clean (OrderedReady startup means secondaries snapshot a ClusterIP-correct config). Caveat for a full recreate: the operator regenerates the `client-update` TSIG key, so its new material must be re-synced into puppet eyaml before clients can nsupdate.

## Why
bind-operator v0.2.0 adds the `BindTSIGAPI` CRD and a companion API that `vault-plugin-secrets-bind-tsig` calls to create, rotate and delete TSIG keys (it does so by managing `BindTSIGKey` resources, which the operator reconciles into key material). This rolls the operator forward and deploys an API instance so Vault never talks to the Kubernetes API directly.
## Changes
- Bump the operator image (`bind-system/deployment.yaml`) and the pulled CRD bundle URL (`bind-system/kustomization.yaml`) to `v0.2.0`.
- Broaden the operator ClusterRole (`bind-system/rbac.yaml`) with `deployments`, `serviceaccounts` and `roles`/`rolebindings`, so the `BindTSIGAPI` reconciler can create the API Deployment and its namespaced Role/RoleBinding.
- Add a `BindTSIGAPI` (`bind-tsig-api`) in `bind-internal`; the operator reconciles it into a Deployment, Service, ConfigMap, master-token Secret and RBAC. Keys are created in `bind-internal`, alongside the authoritative cluster and its existing keys.
- Add the generated kubeconform schema for `BindTSIGAPI`.
## Notes
- The master access token Secret (`bind-tsig-api-token`) is generated by the operator when absent; the operator does not own it, so a `VaultStaticSecret` can later pre-seed/overwrite it to source the token from Vault.
- Validated: both overlays render (`kubectl kustomize`) and pass `kubeconform` (bind-internal 56/56 valid); pre-commit clean.

Follow-up to #239, pairing with the CNPG VMPodScrape (#242). Imports the **CloudNativePG** dashboard (grafana.com 20417) as a `GrafanaDashboard` (gzipJson, datasources resolved to the in-cluster VictoriaMetrics uid). Now that #242 collects the postgres metrics, this dashboard renders real data for all CNPG clusters.

Follow-up to #239. Every CNPG instance pod already exposes Prometheus metrics on `:9187` (`metrics` port), but nothing scraped them. Adds a single namespace-wide `VMPodScrape` (`namespaceSelector.any`, `selector cnpg.io/podRole=instance`) so the observability VMAgent collects postgres metrics for **all ~23 CNPG clusters** across the estate (authentik, grafana, woodpecker, artifactapi, puppet, litellm, …). No chart changes. Pairs well with the CNPG grafana.com dashboard (20417) as a further follow-up.
