ci(kaniko): build-vmtest on the maintained fork like every other step

#797 added build-vmtest with gcr.io/kaniko-project/executor:v1.23.2-debug, the archived Google image the other nine steps left in August (60f231f8). It passed on master only because that image was still cached on the node; the branch push of the controller PR scheduled it elsewhere and the step died before its first command. Same fork pin as the rest. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
feat(netbird): controller for reverse-proxy services from public Ingresses

+"""netbird-proxy-services: reconcile NetBird reverse-proxy services from Ingresses.
+
+Source of truth: every Ingress carrying the public label (dns.renner.uno/public).
+For each host on such an Ingress the NetBird management gets one reverse-proxy
+service in TLS-passthrough mode on :443, targeting Traefik's ClusterIP through a
+subnet resource that covers the cluster's service CIDR. SNI and Host reach
+Traefik untouched, the proxy terminates nothing, and no domain resource is
+involved -- the routing peers stay ordinary IP routers.
+
+Ownership is derived from NetBird itself, not from local state: a service is
+managed iff its mode is "tls" and its target is this controller's subnet
+resource. Services that do not match (the hand-made HTTP/domain ones) are never
+touched; a desired host held by such a service is reported and skipped until
+that service is removed by hand.
+
+Credentials: the NetBird PAT is read from OpenBao on every pass through the
+Kubernetes auth role, exactly like the setup-key rotator; it never lands in a
+Kubernetes Secret or in a log line.

+at Postgres.

+The procedure below is kept as the record of what was done.

 **Migrate statistics only.** Copying all 18M `states` rows is slow, needs a long
 HA outage, and buys a table that is discarded within 7 days anyway.

+Terminus (self-hosted TRMNL BYOS server) plus the headless renderer that
+screenshots the Home Assistant entrance dashboard and pushes it in. One
+device: a TRMNL X at the entrance, 1872x1404, 16 greys.
+
+## Device firmware
+
+Terminus mirrors one model-agnostic binary and it is the **ESP32-C3** (OG)
+build. This panel is a TRMNL X, i.e. ESP32-S3, so that file is not the
+artefact for a manual flash here. Use
+`https://trmnl-fw.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/trmnl_x/flash/FW<version>.bin`
+— a merged image at offset `0x0` — and run `esptool image-info` on
+anything before writing it.
+
+The panel runs 1.8.16, flashed over USB on 2026-09-05. It shipped on
+1.8.6, where turning on `firmware_update` froze the screen for as long as
+an update was offered (fixed upstream in 1.8.7, commit `9b7a0f7`).
+
+## Image automation
+
+Both images are enrolled (`infrastructure/image-automation/terminus.yaml`,
+`trmnl-renderer.yaml`) and track the latest `0.x`. A bad bump on either
+surfaces as a **blank or corrupted panel**, not as a failed rollout — no
+readiness probe can tell that a rendered screen became unreadable. Look at
+the panel after a bump lands; revert the tag if it is wrong.
+
+## Device endpoint
+
+`trmnl-device.renner.uno` is the device-facing name, TLS via Traefik
+(`device-ingress.yaml`). `API_URI` must carry the same scheme the device
+polls with, because Terminus bakes it into the absolute `image_url` it
+returns. The LoadBalancer in `device-service.yaml` keeps `10.2.99.89`
+without a hostname as a cleartext fallback that depends on neither
+Traefik nor certificate renewal — the captive portal accepts a bare
+address.

+# Public LAPI endpoint for the firewall bouncers on proxy-1/proxy-2.
+#
+# WHY PUBLIC AT ALL. The bouncers run as host processes on the proxies, and
+# the proxies have no mesh access: the netbird-proxy container runs non-root
+# (see the ip_unprivileged_port_start task in the netbird-proxy role), so it
+# has no NET_ADMIN and no /dev/net/tun, and its embedded NetBird client
+# therefore terminates the tunnel in userspace. The tunnel belongs to that
+# process, not to the host netns — a second process on the same host cannot
+# route through it. The alternative was a host-level NetBird client plus the
+# LAPI on a LoadBalancer VIP; this reuses the path every other service already
+# takes instead of adding two peers and an ACL policy.
+#
+# NO IP ALLOWLIST, deliberately. The bouncer key is the access control.
+#
+# An allowlist was the obvious second factor and it does not work here. A
+# request originating on a proxy host does not arrive carrying that host's
+# public address: the client connects to the local proxy on 127.0.0.1, the
+# reverse-proxy puts what it saw into X-Forwarded-For, and Traefik resolves
+# that. Measured against the netbird-proxy-watchdog, which makes exactly this
+# kind of request every round:
+#
+#   172.18.0.3 - - [02/Sep/2026:10:12:01] "GET /" 200 websecure-immich-...

+#
+# 172.18.0.3 is a Docker bridge address on the proxy side. Allowlisting the
+# published proxy addresses would have rejected the bouncer with 403;
+# allowlisting 172.18.0.0/16 would be a private range on a host we do not
+# control the addressing of, which is not a security control.
+#
+# What remains is the API key, which is the real control anyway: this endpoint
+# serves read-only decision streams to a valid bouncer key and nothing else.
+# The admin surface is cscli, in-cluster. If the source address ever becomes
+# deterministic, an ipAllowList can be added on top.

- `ghcr.io/usetrmnl/terminus` — publishes a usable `0.x.0` tag stream, so
-  unlike the three above this is **not** a tag-format problem. It is left
-  unenrolled because the blast radius is hardware: Terminus is pre-1.0,
-  cuts no GitHub Releases and ships no changelog, and it serves the
-  firmware and `/api/display` contract that the TRMNL X panel polls. An
-  unattended bump that changes either can leave a wall-mounted device
-  dark, with no rollback path that doesn't involve the captive portal.
-  Bumps are a reviewed, manual act: read the commit range, then edit the
-  tag in `kubernetes/apps/trmnl/terminus.yaml` (both containers).
-
-  The Valkey sidecar alongside it *is* enrolled (`valkey.yaml`) — it holds
-  only the Sidekiq queue and touches no device-facing contract.
-
- `ghcr.io/usetrmnl/trmnl-ha-amd64` — the TRMNL screenshot renderer, for
-  the same reason and one more. It owns the dithering pipeline and the
-  webhook payload shape, so a bad bump surfaces as a *corrupted or blank
-  panel*, not as a failed rollout — there is no readiness signal that
-  catches "the image is now unreadable". Separately, upstream publishes
-  **no multi-arch manifest**: only the arch-suffixed `trmnl-ha-amd64` and
-  `trmnl-ha-aarch64` repositories exist, so an ImagePolicy here would also
-  be pinning us to one architecture in a way the tag does not make
-  obvious. Bump manually in `kubernetes/apps/trmnl/renderer.yaml`.
+Only a tag-format problem belongs on that list. The policy is to run the
+latest version and let image-automation hold us there wherever the tags
+allow it, so an image with a usable semver stream gets enrolled even when
+a bump carries risk. Where a bad bump is hard to detect, the answer is a
+note about what to check afterwards — see `apps/trmnl/README.md` for the
+panel, whose failure mode is a blank screen rather than a failed rollout
+— not an exclusion.

+# Retrieval evaluation for an embedding model, on German documents of the kind
+# this homelab actually files.
+#
+# Companion to scripts/ai-eval.sh, but it cannot work the same way. A chat
+# answer can be read and judged; an embedding is 1024 opaque numbers. What is
+# measurable is whether the right document comes back first, so this builds a
+# small labelled corpus, embeds it, and scores real questions against it.
+#
+# Metrics:
+#   Recall@1  the correct document ranked first — what Paperless's RAG actually
+#             feeds to the classifier
+#   Recall@3  it at least made the shortlist
+#   MRR       mean reciprocal rank, so near-misses are visible rather than
+#             collapsing to pass/fail
+#   margin    cosine gap between the correct document and the best wrong one.
+#             A model that is right by 0.002 is guessing; one that is right by
+#             0.15 has actually separated them.
+#
+# The corpus deliberately contains confusable pairs — two Allianz policies, four
+# documents that are all "Rechnungen", a car insurance and a vehicle
+# registration sharing a number plate. An easy corpus would rate everything 100%
+# and tell you nothing.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   scripts/embed-eval.sh                                    # cluster default
+#   scripts/embed-eval.sh -m some-model
+#   scripts/embed-eval.sh -e https://host/v1/embeddings -m model -k KEY
+#
+# Env equivalents: EMBED_EVAL_ENDPOINT, EMBED_EVAL_MODEL, EMBED_EVAL_KEY.
+#
+# To compare two models on our llama-embed, -m is not enough: swap --hf-repo in
+# kubernetes/apps/llama-server/embed.yaml, let it roll out, then re-run. Note
+# that changing the model also invalidates any vectors Paperless has stored, so
