## Why
The re-keyed internal `unkin.net` intermediate broke CA consumers (CNPG->RGW backups, subPath/startup-cached CA mounts) and needed manual pod restarts, because Reloader was deployed with `ignoreSecrets: true` and could not restart on the `vault-ca-cert` Secret. Enabling secret watching naively is unsafe: many workloads carry the generic `reloader.stakater.com/auto`, and the estate rotates numerous Secrets via Vault/VSO — those would restart on every rotation. This enables secret watching but scopes existing `auto` to ConfigMaps, making secret-reload opt-in per Secret.
## Changes
- Set `reloader.ignoreSecrets: false` (au-syd1 reloader-system values) so Secrets are watched.
- Convert every generic `reloader.stakater.com/auto: "true"` to the ConfigMap-only `configmap.reloader.stakater.com/auto: "true"` — 22 annotations across 19 files. Existing ConfigMap-reload behaviour is preserved; Vault/VSO Secret rotations no longer restart these workloads.
- Add explicit `secret.reloader.stakater.com/reload: "vault-ca-cert"` to the CA consumers that mount the CA and carry a Reloader annotation: `artifactapi/api`, `cephrgw-operator`, `puppetserver-master`, `puppetserver-compiler`, `litellm`, `logarchiver`.
- Add `secret.reloader.stakater.com/reload: "kanidm-tls"` so kanidm rolls when cert-manager renews its leaf.
- Add `docs/ca-rotation.md` runbook (indexed in `docs/README.md`).
## Safety review (secret-only / CA workloads)
`vault-ca-cert` is a plain reflected Secret that bootstraps Vault trust (not VSO-rotated; changes only on intermediate re-key). `kanidm-tls` is a cert-manager leaf. Everything else mounted (`environment`, `*-credentials`, `eyaml-keys`, `puppetboard-secrets`, `s3-credentials`, `nats-auth`, `clickhouse-credentials`, `woodpecker-*`) is VSO/CNPG Vault-rotated and deliberately excluded.
- `cephrgw-operator` — mounts only Secrets (`cephrgw-credentials` VSO + `vault-ca-cert`), no ConfigMap. Its old comment said "restart when the credentials Secret rotates"; `cephrgw-credentials` is VSO so that is now excluded, and reload is scoped to `vault-ca-cert` only. Comment updated.
- `nats` (logging) — old comment "Roll the StatefulSet when nats-auth changes"; `nats-auth` is VSO, so this is now ConfigMap-only (deliberately no roll on rotation). Comment updated. Same for the vector agent/aggregator/vm-ingest (VSO `nats-auth`/`clickhouse-credentials`).
- `artifactapi/ui` — mounts neither a ConfigMap nor a Secret; its `auto` was already a no-op. Left as ConfigMap-only.
- `puppetdb` / `puppetboard` — mount a ConfigMap plus VSO Secrets (postgres creds / puppetboard-secrets); ConfigMap-only is correct, no secret reload added.
CA consumers that mount `vault-ca-cert` but have **no** Reloader annotation (CRD-managed or startup-cached) are documented in `docs/ca-rotation.md` for manual restart rather than annotated here: `grafana`, `observability/vmagent`, `paperclip`, `argocd-repo-server`, plus CNPG clusters (`kubectl cnpg restart`).
## Notes / coordination
- Annotations left in their existing location (some sit on the pod template, e.g. `litellm`, `puppetdb`; Reloader reads controller-level metadata — placement unchanged from before, no regression).
- Touches `apps/overlays/au-syd1/logging/values-vector-*.yaml`, which overlap open PR #320 (Tier-2 Vector pipelines) — only the one-line reloader annotation is changed here.
## Validation
- `make kubeconform` — touched overlays (reloader-system, logging, woodpecker, authentik) valid; only the known-unrelated cattle-system rancher chart kubeVersion failure remains.
- `uvx pre-commit run --all-files` — all hooks pass.

Move the estate's own service/operator image pulls off the Gitea container registry (git.unkin.net/unkin) to the artifactapi local docker registry (docker-internal), ahead of the git.unkin.net forge migration which disables Gitea's container registry. The images were copied digest-for-digest into docker-internal and pulls verified before this repoint.
- repoint age-api, bind-operator, bind-tsig-api, cephrgw-operator, encapi, logarchiver, pdbmux image pulls to artifactapi.k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net/docker-internal
Deliberately not repointed here: artifactapi's own api/ui images (circular — it can't pull itself from itself), and the almalinux9-* base/CI images (huge, and their per-repo Woodpecker push targets move in a batched follow-up). Forge raw-CRD URLs and git clone sources are unaffected (those stay on the forge).

cephrgw-operator v0.4.0 adds immutable placementTarget selection on Buckets; the nine CNPG backup buckets should live on the ec (4/1) placement instead of 3-replica. Existing buckets cannot change placement, so after this merges the buckets get deleted and recreated on ec and fresh base backups are triggered (day-old backups are accepted losses, per Ben).
- bump cephrgw-operator image and CRD ref to v0.4.0
- add placementTarget: ec to all nine cnpg backup Bucket CRs

## 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
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
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.

## 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.

## Why
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:
```
vault kv put kv/service/cephrgw/dashboard-credentials \
CEPH_DASHBOARD_URL=https://dashboard.ceph.unkin.net \
CEPH_DASHBOARD_USERNAME=k8s-cephrgw-operator \
CEPH_DASHBOARD_PASSWORD=... CEPH_RGW_ENDPOINT=https://s3.ceph.unkin.net
```
- Until VSO auth succeeds the `cephrgw-credentials` Secret won't exist and the operator pod stays in `CreateContainerConfigError` (expected).

## 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.
