## 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.

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.
## Summary
- Replace `Ingress` (nginx) with `Gateway` + `HTTPRoute` using `traefik-internal` GatewayClass
- TLS terminated at the Gateway listener; cert-manager provisions the certificate via `vault-issuer`
- external-dns annotations moved to the Gateway
## Test plan
- [ ] ArgoCD syncs the litellm app cleanly
- [ ] cert-manager issues the `litellm-tls` certificate
- [ ] external-dns creates the DNS record
- [ ] `https://litellm.k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net` is reachable
