## 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.

Authentik is canonical at https://identity.unkin.net, served by the internal
unkin.net CA. Grafana, LiteLLM and NetBox failed OIDC discovery because their
images don't trust that CA (x509: unknown authority); NetBox also still pointed
at the secondary admin host.
- grafana: mount the reflected vault-ca-cert; set generic_oauth `tls_client_ca`.
- litellm: `combine-certs` init builds public+internal CA bundle; `SSL_CERT_FILE`
+ `REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE` point at it.
- netbox: flip OIDC issuer to identity.unkin.net; same combine bundle for
python-social-auth (`requests`).
- docs: record the Rancher manual runtime step (issuer + CA in the auth config).
Validated: kustomize build + kubeconform + pre-commit.

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.
finding litellm performance has dropped, crashed in multiple cases, and
then it had scaled to the maximum level using the majority of memory in
cluster.
- reduce the rate at which litellm autoscales
- increase the requests/limits to match usage
