feat(ai): dedicated wiki-embed endpoint for the Notes ranker

Second bge-m3 llama.cpp Deployment in ns ai so wiki queries never queue
behind Paperless on llama-embed. Shares the llama-server-models PVC, so
the weights are not downloaded again.

Exposed LAN-only as wiki-embed.renner.uno (no dns.renner.uno/public
label) for bin/wiki_rank.py on the workstation and the nightly wiki jobs.
The client is a script, and the Authentik gate is browser-only, so the
Ingress uses Traefik BasicAuth backed by an ExternalSecret, the same
shape as loki.renner.uno. A pod-scoped CiliumNetworkPolicy admits Traefik
to wiki-embed only; llama-server stays reachable solely via its gate.

Measured on 40 past wiki-synth queries: embeddings picking 150 candidates
plus one TypeSafe Choice puts a cited note in the top 5 for 95% of
queries at a sixth of the cost of ranking all 1700 notes with TypeSafe.

Needs before first use: OpenBao key apps/ai/wiki-embed-basic-auth with
field `users` (htpasswd line), and the same credential as user:password
in ~/.config/wiki-embed/basic-auth on the workstation.

+# Traffic classes on the k8s nodes
+
+Issue #576. Three of the four classes are separated; management is not.
+
+## Where each class runs
+
+| class | link | mechanism |
+|---|---|---|
+| Ceph replication | `ceph-san`, VLAN 49 | the whole link is handed to the OSD pod (Multus `host-device`) |
+| world→pod | `ingress0`, VLAN 47 | BGP session sourced there, so the advertised next hop is that address |
+| pod→world | `ingress0`, VLAN 47 | routing rule on the pod source prefix → table 47 |
+| pod↔pod | `pod0`, VLAN 48 | routing rule on pod source **and** destination → table 48 |
+| management | `mgmt0`, VLAN 40 | not started |
+
+Hard constraint, set by the owner: inter-node and pod traffic never traverses
+the UDM. Everything above stays on the 10G switch.
+
+## Why policy routing rather than moving the node IP
+
+Cilium reaches a peer's pods at that peer's Kubernetes InternalIP, in native
+and tunnel mode alike. `--ipv4-node` is overwritten from the Node object, and
+`nodePort.directRoutingDevice` selects the BPF NodePort device, not a next hop.
+Both were established by test (#837, #838), not by reading.
+
+So the InternalIP decides where pod traffic goes — unless the lookup happens in
+a different table. The rules do that, and nothing about the node's identity
+moves. The routing decision runs before Cilium's masquerade hook, so a rule
+matching the pod source sees the pod address, and the masquerade then rewrites
+it to the egress link's.
+
+## Rule order
+
+Lower priority runs first.
+
+| prio | match | table |
+|---|---|---|
+| 980 | src pod, dst pod | 48 |
+| 981 | src pod, dst pod (v4) | 48 |
+| 990 | dst `fd00::/8` | main |
+| 991 | dst `10.0.0.0/8` | main |
+| 1000 | src pod | 47 |
+| 1001 | src pod (v4) | 47 |
+
+980/981 match source **and** destination. Source alone would also catch the
+node's own traffic to a pod, which would then leave with a `pod0` source — an
+address `CiliumNode.spec.addresses` does not list, so Cilium classifies it as
+`world` rather than `host`.
+
+990/991 are Cilium's `ipv4/ipv6NativeRoutingCIDR`, and they are what keeps
+cluster-internal traffic out of table 47. Without them a pod's packet to a
+service matches the source rule, finds only a default route, and leaves for the
+UDM — measured, in-cluster DNS stopped resolving.
+
+Traffic to a pod on the same node falls through on its own: table 48 holds only
+the peers' CIDRs, so the lookup misses and 990/991 send it to main.
+
+## Where each table comes from
+
+- **47** — two default routes declared per node in `talos/patches/k8s-*.yaml`.
+  The IPv6 gateway is the UDM's configured address on the segment, not the
+  RA-learned link-local; `accept_ra_defrtr` stays `0` on `ingress0` so the RA
+  default does not land in main.
+- **48** — filled by the `bird` DaemonSet: an iBGP mesh over `pod0`, one route
+  per peer pod CIDR with the peer's `pod0` address as next hop.
+
+## The bird mesh
+
+`kubernetes/infrastructure/bird/`. Each node advertises only its own pod CIDR
+and installs what it learns into table 48. Cilium's routes in main are
+untouched, which is why the two coexist.
+
+No address is written into this repo twice. Each node publishes its `pod0`
+addresses as `nodeAnnotations`, beside the `VLANConfig` that assigns them; the
+pod CIDRs come from the Node objects. An init container renders both from the
+API with `kubectl -o go-template-file`, excludes the node itself with a field
+selector, and ends with `bird -p` so BIRD's own parser gates startup.
+
+The node's own CIDR is **originated**, not read back from the kernel. Reading
+it back made BIRD depend on the shape Cilium installs, and the IPv4 route is
+rejected outright: its next hop sits inside the prefix it describes, which KRT
+refuses with `strange next-hop`. The IPv6 route is a device route and passed,
+so the failure was silent on one family only.
+
+## Failure behaviour
+
+Benign at every layer. An empty or absent table 48 makes 980/981 fall through
+to main, and pod traffic returns to VLAN 40 — unseparated, not broken. The same
+holds if the DaemonSet cannot start, which is the case during a cold rebuild
+until Gitea serves its image.
+
+## Management, the remaining class
+
+Not started. The levers differ per service and none of them is the node IP:
+
+| service | can leave the node IP? | lever |
+|---|---|---|
+| etcd | yes | `cluster.etcd.advertisedSubnets`; needs a reboot per node |
+| kube-apiserver endpoint | yes | it is a VIP — `Layer2VIPConfig.link` |
+| Talos API | n/a | `apid` answers on every node address; a firewall question |
+| kubelet | no | it *is* the node IP |
+
+Two approaches were rejected by the owner and are not to be proposed again:
+moving the node IP and etcd to `pod0` (#838), and relabelling VLAN 40 as the
+cluster VLAN while moving etcd and the API VIP to a new management VLAN.
+Replacing the CNI (#839, Antrea) was shelved.
+
+Note that the reasoning which produced that list also concluded pod↔pod was
+blocked, which policy routing disproved. Treat it as a record of decisions, not
+as an exhaustive analysis.

-# Proposal — separate the four traffic classes onto their own VLANs
-
-Status: draft. The question this started with is **answered** — from the Cilium
-source and flag reference, not from a test — and the answer changes the shape
-of the proposal rather than confirming it.
-
-Supersedes the framing in issue #576, which described this as "give node
-management its own NIC, and Ceph public its own VLAN". That was two of four
-classes and one of them turned out already solved.
-
-## The four classes
-
-| class | what it is | where it goes today |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Ceph replication** | OSD-to-OSD heartbeat, replication, recovery | VLAN 49, its own X710 port — **separated** |
-| **cluster-internal** | pod-to-pod east-west, including Ceph client I/O | pod network, VXLAN over `mgmt0` |
-| **cluster-external** | ingress to LoadBalancer VIPs, egress to LAN and internet | `mgmt0` |
-| **management** | Talos API, etcd, kube-apiserver, kubelet | `mgmt0` |
-
-Three of four share one interface. That is not a design decision — until the
-bare-metal conversion there was one NIC to work with.
-
-Ceph client I/O living on the pod network is correct rather than a leftover:
-that traffic *is* cluster-internal. Ceph is done.
-
-## Principle
-
-**Each class gets its own VLAN. Which physical interface a VLAN lands on is a
-separate, changeable decision.**
-
-Defining classes by VLAN means the separation survives recabling, port failures
-and capacity changes, and it does not require one port per class. Defining them
-by interface would freeze a capacity decision into the architecture.
-
-## The finding that shapes everything else
-
-The original open question was whether `nodePort.directRoutingDevice` moves the
-next-hop of Cilium's direct routes, or only selects an interface. It is
-answerable from the source, and the answer is: **only the interface.**
-
-`installDirectRoute` takes the next-hop as a parameter:
-
-```go
-func installDirectRoute(log *slog.Logger, prefix netip.Prefix, nodeIP net.IP,
-    skipUnreachable bool) (routeSpec *netlink.Route, err error)
-```
-
-and `nodeUpdate` supplies it as `newNode.GetNodeIP(false)`. `GetNodeIP` returns,
-in priority order, `NodeInternalIP` → `NodeExternalIP` → anything else. The
-same `newIP4` is what tunnel mode uses as the VXLAN endpoint.
-
-`NodeInternalIP` comes from the Kubernetes Node object. `--ipv4-node` looks like
-an override but is not one: `initFromConfig()` calls `SetNodeInternalIP` and
-`initFromK8s()` runs **after** it and overwrites the value. In a Kubernetes
-cluster there is no path by which Cilium's node IP differs from the kubelet's
-`InternalIP`.
-
-`--direct-routing-device` is documented as "Device name used to connect nodes in
-direct routing mode" — a device, not an address.
-
-**So cluster-internal traffic is welded to the node IP, and the node IP is the
-kubelet InternalIP.** Two consequences:
-
-- The class cannot be moved off whatever VLAN the node IP lives on.
-- **Routing mode is irrelevant to this problem.** Tunnel mode sources the VXLAN
-  from the node IP; native mode uses it as the direct-route next-hop. Native
-  routing buys nothing here, so the disruptive, non-rolling step this proposal
-  previously contained is simply gone.
-
-## Consequence: draw the line the other way
-
-If cluster-internal cannot leave the node IP, then separation has to come from
-moving *management services* off it — and each one has to be checked
-individually, because they do not share a mechanism.
-
-| management service | can it leave the node IP? | lever |
-|---|---|---|
-| etcd | **yes** | `cluster.etcd.advertisedSubnets` (+ `listenSubnets`, which defaults to it) |
-| kube-apiserver endpoint | **yes** | already a VIP — `Layer2VIPConfig` with a `link:` field |
-| Talos API | **n/a** | `apid` answers on every node address (measured); a client and firewall choice, not a bind setting |
-| kubelet | **no** | it *is* the node IP, by definition |
-
-So four VLANs are reachable, but the boundary does not fall where the class
-names suggest: **kubelet stays with cluster-internal.** That is the honest
-result, and it is worth stating plainly rather than filing kubelet under
-management and hoping.
-
-The remaining classes keep the levers established earlier:
-
-- **cluster-external ingress** — `CiliumBGPNodeConfigOverride.spec.bgpInstances[].peers[].localAddress`.
-  For eBGP the session source is the next-hop, so pinning the session pins
-  where return traffic arrives. The session to the UDM has been running for
-  months.
-- **cluster-external egress** — eBPF masquerading follows the output device, so
-  this is a default-route decision plus `enable-masquerade-to-route-source`
-  (today `false`).
-- **Ceph replication** — Multus macvlan on VLAN 49, done.
-
-## The general escape hatch
-
-Ceph is separated because its OSDs got a second interface and stopped using the
-pod network for replication. That is the *only* mechanism that fully detaches a
-workload from the node IP, and it generalises: anything that must not ride the
-node IP gets its own `NetworkAttachmentDefinition`.
-
-It is also expensive per workload — an attachment, an IPAM pool, a pod spec
-change. Worth it for Ceph replication. Not worth it for east-west traffic in
-general.
-
-## Recommended mapping
-
-Two ways to arrange this, and they differ only in which VLAN gets relabelled:
-
-**A — move the node IP to a new cluster VLAN.** VLAN 40 keeps etcd, the API VIP
-and Talos API. Cleanest match to the class names, but it changes every node's
-identity, which is the one address the whole cluster is administered through.
-
-**B (recommended) — leave the node IP on VLAN 40 and move management off it.**
-VLAN 40 becomes the cluster VLAN; a new VLAN carries etcd and the API VIP.
-Identical end state, and no node ever changes its InternalIP.
-
-Under B:
-
-| VLAN | carries |
-|---|---|
-| 49 | Ceph replication |
-| 40 (relabelled *cluster*) | pod east-west, kubelet |
-| new *management* | etcd, kube-apiserver VIP, Talos API by convention |
-| new *external* | LoadBalancer ingress, egress default route |
-
-The property the user asked for — management carries only management traffic —
-holds under B. The label moves; the property is what matters.
-
-## Migration shape
-
-Every step is rolling and reversible. The routing-mode change is gone.
-
-1. **New VLANs** on the switch, trunked to the X710. Nothing uses them.
-2. **Addresses** on the new VLANs via Talos, one node at a time, `--mode=try`.
-   Still unused; this only proves the L2 works.
-3. **etcd** to the management VLAN via `advertisedSubnets`. One node at a time,
-   waiting for a healthy quorum between each.
-4. **API VIP** to the management VLAN via `Layer2VIPConfig.link`. DNS for
-   `k8s.renner.uno` follows.
-5. **cluster-external**: BGP `localAddress`, default route, masquerade flag.
-   Reversible by reverting the override; failure is visible immediately in
-   `cilium-dbg shell -- bgp/peers`.
-6. Verify VLAN 40 by what is *absent* from it, not by what still works.
-
-Step 3 is the one that deserves care — etcd is the only step where a mistake
-costs quorum rather than connectivity.
-
-## What this does not buy
-
-Management currently shares a 10 Gb link and is not contended. Nothing observed
-today is slow because of this. The case for the split is that traffic classes
-with different failure modes and security postures should not be
-indistinguishable — not that something is broken.
-
-## Sources and measurements
-
-Source, Cilium v1.20.1 (the running version):
-
-- `pkg/datapath/linux/node.go` — `installDirectRoute(…, nodeIP net.IP, …)`,
-  fed from `newIP4 = newNode.GetNodeIP(false)`; `createDirectRouteSpec` rejects
-  a next-hop that is not directly reachable.
-- `pkg/node/types/node.go` — `GetNodeIP` prefers `NodeInternalIP`.
-- `pkg/node/sync/local_node_sync.go` — `initFromConfig()` applies
-  `--ipv4-node`, `initFromK8s()` runs afterwards and overwrites it from the
-  Kubernetes Node.
-- `cilium-agent` flag reference — `--direct-routing-device`: "Device name used
-  to connect nodes in direct routing mode".
-
-Talos:
-
-- Multihoming guide — `cluster.etcd.advertisedSubnets`; `listenSubnets`
-  defaults to it. kube-apiserver and Talos API listen addresses are not
-  covered there.
-- `kubernetes/talos/patches/k8s-{1,2,3}.yaml` — `Layer2VIPConfig` for
-  `10.2.40.60` with `link: mgmt0`.
-
-Measured on the cluster:
-
-- `apid` answered on a node address that is not the InternalIP, so the Talos
-  API is not bound to one address.
-- k8s-1 currently holds one routable v4 address plus the VIP on `mgmt0`; its
-  InternalIP had changed since the last session, which is why nothing here
-  names an address as fixed.
-- Cilium runs `routing-mode: tunnel` with `enable-masquerade-to-route-source`
-  unset and no direct-routing device configured.
-
-Not verified: whether the kube-apiserver's `--advertise-address` follows the
-node IP independently of the VIP. It does not affect the recommendation, since
-clients reach the API through the VIP either way.

+# All pod traffic goes to table 47, and the table decides — longest prefix
+# match, no exceptions to carve out. bird fills it with the node's attached
+# networks, the peers' pod CIDRs and the egress default, so a packet to a node
+# on the mgmt segment takes the connected route, a packet to a pod on another
+# node takes pod0, and anything else takes the default over ingress0.
+#
+# Matching the source is what keeps the node's own traffic out: it answers on
+# mgmt0, and a reply leaving over ingress0 would carry an mgmt0 source onto
+# VLAN 47. The routing decision runs before Cilium's masquerade hook, so the
+# rule sees the pod address and the masquerade then rewrites it.
+#
+# If bird stops, table 47 empties, the lookup misses and the rule falls through
+# to main — pod traffic returns to VLAN 40, unseparated rather than misrouted.
+#
+# Priorities are below main (32766) and clear of the rule Cilium installs at 9.
+# The two families are separate rule tables, so the priorities need not match;
+# the document name is the priority and must be unique.
