+You are running as the scheduled wiki-maintenance job in CI. The Notes vault is checked out at ~/Notes (the repository k.renner/notes); the homelab and homeassistant repositories are checked out under ~/source/. `kubectl` reads the live cluster with a read-only identity.
+
+Run the wiki-consolidate agent now for today's scheduled consolidation pass. Follow its instructions exactly: snapshot the vault to git first, abort if that fails, select today's rotating cohort of 20 from the state file, verify claims against both their sources and the live systems, act on the verdicts, write the dated report to ~/Notes/output/, update the state file, and snapshot again at the end. Do not push; the pipeline pushes the run's commits.

+You are running as the scheduled wiki-maintenance job in CI. The Notes vault is checked out at ~/Notes (the repository k.renner/notes). Do exactly this, nothing else:
+
+Glob ~/Notes/raw/*.md (top level only, never ~/Notes/raw/_processed/). Distill every file you find into ~/Notes/wiki/ following your process, including the ranker check for every concept. Move each fully processed source to ~/Notes/raw/_processed/. If raw/ has no top-level files besides _index.md, say so and stop.
+
+Do not commit or push; the pipeline does that after you finish. Do not touch anything outside ~/Notes/wiki/ and ~/Notes/raw/.
+
+End with one line per file: which wiki notes it produced or merged into, or "nothing distillable".

+"""wiki-index: embedding index over the Notes repo's wiki/, fed from Gitea.
+
+Source of truth is the notes repository on Gitea. The index holds, per wiki
+note, the git blob sha, title and a bge-m3 vector of slug/title/aliases/tags/
+first paragraph. A sync fetches the repo tree, embeds every note whose blob sha
+changed (via wiki-embed, in-cluster) and drops notes that left the tree; it
+runs at start, on every push webhook from Gitea, and every RESYNC_SECONDS.
+
+HTTP:
+  POST /rank     {"query": str, "k": int}   -> {"rows": [{"slug","title","score"}], "index": {...}}
+  GET  /health   -> 200 always (liveness) with {"ready", "notes", "commit", "synced_at", "age_s", "syncing", "last_error"}
+  GET  /ready    -> 200 when an index exists, else 503 (readiness)
+  POST /webhook  Gitea push event, HMAC-SHA256 in X-Gitea-Signature -> {"queued": true}
+
+Credentials (Gitea token, webhook secret) are read from OpenBao through the
+Kubernetes auth role on every use; they never land in a Secret or a log line.
+Standard library only.

+# Traffic classes on the k8s nodes
+
+Issue #576. Five classes, each on its own VLAN.
+
+## 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`) |
+| pod↔pod | `pod0`, VLAN 48 | pod-sourced traffic is routed from table 47; bird puts the peers' pod CIDRs there via `pod0` |
+| world↔pod | `ingress0`, VLAN 47 | BGP session sourced there (next hop of every LoadBalancer VIP); pod egress takes table 47's default |
+| node↔node | `node0`, VLAN 46 | the node InternalIP and etcd live there; so do apiserver↔kubelet, cilium-health and host→remote-pod traffic |
+| world↔node | `mgmt0`, VLAN 40 | API VIP for kubectl, talosctl from outside, node egress (DNS, NTP, image pulls) |
+
+Hard constraint, set by the owner: inter-node and pod traffic never traverses
+the UDM. Everything but world↔node stays on the 10G switch. VLAN 46 and 48 are
+statically addressed, without a gateway; VLAN 46 is isolated in UniFi.
+
+## Pod traffic: one table
+
+Two rules, one per family, send every packet with a pod source to table 47
+(`talos/patches/site-homelab.yaml`, priorities 1000/1001, below main). The
+table decides by longest prefix; no rule carves out exceptions.
+
+bird (`kubernetes/infrastructure/bird/`) owns table 47 and fills it with:
+
+- the node's attached networks — `mgmt0`, `ingress0`, `pod0`, `node0` —
+  taken from the interfaces;
+- the peers' pod CIDRs, learned over an iBGP mesh on `pod0`, next hop the
+  peer's `pod0` address;
+- the node's own pod CIDR via `cilium_host`, originated rather than read back
+  from the kernel (reading it back made BIRD depend on the shape of Cilium's
+  route, and KRT rejects the IPv4 one);
+- the egress default via the UDM on `ingress0`, from the node annotations
+  `net.renner.uno/egress-gw-v4/v6`.
+
+`node0` has to be in the table: a pod reaching a node address — the
+`kubernetes` ClusterIP, which socket LB rewrites to the apiserver's advertise
+address, or a hostNetwork pod — would otherwise take the default to the UDM.
+
+The routing decision runs before Cilium's masquerade hook, so the rule sees the
+pod address and the masquerade then rewrites it to the egress link's.
+
+Node-originated traffic does not match the rules and uses main, where Cilium
+routes each peer's pod CIDR via the peer's InternalIP — on `node0`.
+
+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. bird's init container renders both from
+the API and ends with `bird -p`, so BIRD's own parser gates startup.
+
+## Node↔node
+
+`kubelet.nodeIP.validSubnets` and `cluster.etcd.advertisedSubnets` point at
+VLAN 46. Talos picks one InternalIP per family, IPv4 first — the service CIDR
+is IPv4, and the apiserver's advertise address must match it.
+
+The API VIP stays on `mgmt0` for kubectl. No in-cluster client uses it:
+kubelet, scheduler, controller-manager and Cilium go through KubePrism
+(`localhost:7445`), which balances over every address of every control-plane
+member; pods use the ClusterIP.
+
+Talos never updates an existing etcd member's peer URLs
+(siderolabs/talos#12720). Changing `advertisedSubnets` means, per member:
+stage the config, `talosctl etcd forfeit-leadership`, `talosctl etcd leave`,
+reboot. `leave` removes only `/var/lib/etcd`; the node rejoins as a learner
+and is promoted. EPHEMERAL does not need a wipe.
+
+## Moving node IPs: the mixed state
+
+While some nodes have their InternalIP on the new network and some on the old,
+host→remote-pod traffic leaves with a node address that is not an InternalIP:
+the kernel picks the source from the route to the peer's InternalIP. Cilium
+classifies that as `world`, and every ingress policy that admits only
+`host`/`remote-node` (rook-ceph, monitoring, …) drops it. Kernel Ceph clients
+lose the OSDs on the other side; RBD mounts hang.
+
+Bridge it for the duration with a temporary `CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicy`
+admitting the node subnets of both networks, both families, with
+`enableDefaultDeny: false` so it restricts nothing else, and delete it once
+every node has moved. Keep all OSD nodes schedulable while one is drained:
+draining two takes Ceph below its data availability.
+
+## Failure behaviour
+
+If bird stops, table 47 empties, the rules find nothing and fall through to
+main: pod traffic returns to the node networks, unseparated rather than
+misrouted. The same holds during a cold rebuild until Gitea serves bird's
+image. The default route lives in table 47, not in the Talos config, so a
+default cannot outlive the specific routes and send pod traffic to the UDM.

-# 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.

+# Wiki: local web interface and agent API, as a modular .NET solution
+
+## Goal
+
+A web interface for the Notes wiki that runs entirely in the cluster, and an
+HTTP API through which agents ask the wiki typed questions and deposit facts.
+Built as one C# solution with a MudBlazor front end, and built so that every
+external dependency is replaceable: where the notes live, which model embeds
+them, what judges a typed question, what runs an agent, how the vector index
+is stored. The first adapters are what the homelab uses today. The point of
+the design is that the next one is a project and a config line, not a
+rewrite.
+
+## Where we are
+
+- `wiki-index` (Python, ns `ai`) syncs `wiki/` from `k.renner/notes` by blob
+  SHA, embeds through `wiki-embed` (bge-m3 on llama-server), answers
+  `POST /rank`. It keeps slug, title and vector, not the text. LAN-only behind
+  Traefik BasicAuth; the Gitea webhook hits the ClusterIP.
+- `~/Notes/bin/wiki_rank.py` and `wiki_ask.py` rank through the index, build a
+  document context from a local vault checkout, send it with typed questions
+  to TypeSafe, gate on `covered`. The wiki-synth agent composes answers from
+  those judgements.
+- New knowledge enters as a file in `raw/` (facts with provenance, never
+  hypotheses), distilled nightly in CI.
+- The house C# project, shelly-manager, sets the conventions: net10.0, an
+  `.slnx` with `src/` and `test/`, xUnit, MudBlazor 9, Blazor Web App with
+  interactive server rendering, minimal APIs, an Authentik proxy-header
+  authentication handler for humans and an API-key handler for machines, a
+  multi-stage Dockerfile, `dotnet test` on every push and a kaniko release
+  pipeline to the Gitea registry. Human-facing apps sit behind an Authentik
+  outpost (`<app>-gate`) with a CNP that admits only that outpost.

+Rules that keep it modular, enforced by project references and a test:
+
+- `Wiki.Core` references nothing. It holds the domain types and the port
+  interfaces. Adapters reference Core only; they never reference each other
+  or the host. `Wiki.Host` is the only project that knows which adapters
+  exist.
+- Every port has a **contract test suite** in `test/Wiki.Contracts` that
+  runs against every adapter of that port. A new adapter is done when the
+  suite is green. That is what makes "swap the storage" a safe operation.
+- Adapters are selected by configuration and registered by name (keyed
+  services), so several can be active at once. The UI's lab page and the
+  evaluator use that to compare, the API uses the one marked active.
+- Nothing in Core or Application knows about HTTP, Gitea, TypeSafe, files or
+  Kubernetes.

+with probabilities, never prose, and the UI never presents its output as an
+answer, only as ranked, quoted evidence. The answer model turns that
+evidence into words and is allowed nothing else: it sees the selected
+paragraphs and the judgements, not the whole context, and its output is
+shown next to the evidence it was given. Both are single model calls inside
+the request. The service runs no agent: no tool loop, no vault edits. The
+wiki-synth agent in a Claude session remains the path for artifacts and for
+multi-question synthesis, and it can call `/questions` itself.

+Own repository `k.renner/wiki`, same shape as shelly-manager: `Dockerfile`,
+`.woodpecker/test.yml` on pull requests, `.woodpecker/release.yml` building
+the image with kaniko into the Gitea registry on push to `main`, tagged
+`build.<unix-ts>` plus the commit SHA so Flux image automation can follow
+it. The homelab repo holds only the manifests. `claude-bot` needs write
+access to the new repository.
+
+Two things the shelly-manager history settles in advance: the TypeSafe
+client is written from the documented field contract (endpoint, bearer key,
+`jev-latest`, Noul/Choice/Score, 255-option cap, 32k-token state budget),
+there is no prior C# client to copy; and the UI needs no login page, because
+identity comes from the outpost's headers, which avoids the Blazor-circuit
+sign-in constraint shelly-manager ran into.
+
+### Configuration
+
+Adapters are declared in `appsettings` and selected by name; secrets come
+through environment variables, filled by ExternalSecret, never from the file.
+
+```json

+  "NoteStore": { "Active": "gitea", "gitea": { "Repository": "k.renner/notes", "Branch": "main" } },

+
+Every embedding model gets its own index namespace. Switching the active
+model is a config change after the new index has been built in the
+background; until then both exist and can be compared. Nothing is
+re-embedded in place.
+
+## The web interface (MudBlazor)
+
+Blazor Web App, interactive server rendering, hosted in `Wiki.Host`. Static
+assets vendored into the image, no CDN. Pages:
+
+1. **Search**: a query box, results ranked by the active index with score and
+   tags; for a phrased question, optionally the paragraph-level hits from the
+   judge with their probabilities, shown as quoted evidence.
+2. **Note**: frontmatter, rendered body with `[[wikilinks]]` resolved,
+   backlinks, sources linking to their raw file.
+3. **Browse**: by tag, by `updated`, recently changed, orphans.
+4. **Answers**: a question box. The answer streams in within seconds: rank,
+   judge, compose, all in the request. Below it the evidence: the paragraphs
+   the judge selected with their notes and probabilities, and the `covered`
+   gate; a low gate is shown as "the wiki does not cover this" instead of an
+   answer. A save button writes the answer to `output/` with the wiki-synth
+   frontmatter (`question`, `sources`, `confidence`), so it joins the
+   labelled set. Underneath, the saved answers, newest first, including the
+   ones the wiki-synth agent wrote from a session.
+5. **Maintenance**: the raw queue with ages, the last consolidation and audit
+   reports, index and sync status.
+6. **Lab**: pick any registered embedding model and judge, run the same query
+   through them side by side, and run the evaluator on the labelled set to
+   get recall@k per configuration. This is the page for "play around with
+   different models".
+7. **Settings**: read-only view of the active adapters and their health.
+
+No editing of notes in the browser. The vault stays a git repository edited
+by the consolidate agent and by hand.
+
+## API v1
+
+Reads are authenticated by the hostname's gate (humans) or API key
+(machines); writes always need an API key so a fact carries its author.
+
+| method and path | purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `GET /api/v1/status` | index commit and age, counts, active adapters |
+| `GET /api/v1/notes?q=&tag=&limit=` | list; `q` ranks through the active index |
+| `GET /api/v1/notes/{slug}` | frontmatter, body, links, backlinks, sources |
+| `GET /api/v1/tags` | tags with counts |
+| `POST /api/v1/rank` | `{question, k, model?}` → ranked slugs; also served at `/rank` for the existing scripts |
+| `POST /api/v1/ask` | `{queries, questions, k, judge?, model?}` → context, typed judgements with the answering paragraphs verbatim, `covered`. For agents and code. |
+| `POST /api/v1/questions` | `{question, k?, judge?, model?, answerModel?, save?}` → the answer text with `[[slug]]` citations, the evidence (paragraphs, probabilities), `covered`, model and token usage; streamed as server-sent events when requested; with `save`, the `output/` path and commit |
+| `POST /api/v1/facts` | deposit a raw source: title, source, `kind: fact`, observed_at, content, tags → path and commit |
+| `GET /api/v1/raw` | the distill queue with ages |
+| `GET /api/v1/reports` | `output/` documents by type, newest first |
+| `POST /api/v1/lab/eval` | run the evaluator for a (model, judge) pair |
+| `POST /webhook` | Gitea push, HMAC as today |
+
+`POST /api/v1/facts` is rejected without `source`, with a `kind` other than
+`fact`, or with content under a minimum length. The raw rule is enforced by
+shape: there is no field for a hypothesis. The file gets the vault's
+provenance frontmatter with `captured_by` set from the API key's identity.
+
+`POST /api/v1/ask` is `wiki_ask.py` moved server-side, so the scripts become
+thin clients and agents no longer need a vault checkout. Its result is
+judgements and quotations, never prose.
+
+`POST /api/v1/questions` is `/ask` plus one answer-model call, in process:
+rank the question, build the context, run the default typed questions
+(answered, where, covered), hand the selected paragraphs and judgements to
+the answer model, stream the prose back. Below the `covered` threshold it
+returns the gap instead of an answer. Time is the sum of the parts, about
+0.2 s rank, 1 to 4 s judge, a few seconds of generation. Cost is one model
+call over a few thousand tokens, a few cents on Sonnet, against a quarter
+dollar for a full agent run.
+
+## Auth and network
+
+- Humans: `wiki.renner.uno`, LAN-only (no `dns.renner.uno/public` label),
+  Ingress backend `ak-outpost-wiki-gate:9000`, a `wiki-gate-egress` CNP in
+  `authentik`, the proxy-header handler trusts `X-Authentik-*` only from that
+  outpost.
+- Machines: `wiki-index.renner.uno` with the API-key handler; the workstation
+  key stays where it is. CI reaches the ClusterIP.
+- Secrets (Gitea token, webhook secret, API keys, TypeSafe key, Anthropic
+  key) reach the
+  pod as environment variables from Kubernetes Secrets filled by
+  ExternalSecret from the `openbao` ClusterSecretStore. The pod itself has
+  no OpenBao access. The Python service fetched its secrets from OpenBao
+  directly through its own Kubernetes-auth role; that role, its policy and
+  the `ai` → `openbao` CNP entry are retired with it.
+- Egress from the pod: Gitea, wiki-embed, `api.typesafe.ai:443`,
+  `api.anthropic.com:443`. Every
+  further adapter that talks to a new endpoint gets its own CNP line, which
+  is the one place adding an adapter touches the cluster.
+
+## Health endpoints
+
+Three endpoints with three different meanings, wired to the .NET health
+checks with tags so that the probes and the humans see the right thing:
+
+| endpoint | meaning | probe |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GET /health` | the process serves HTTP. Always 200 once Kestrel listens; no dependency checks. | liveness |
+| `GET /ready` | the active note store has synced at least once and the active index is loaded; 503 while the first sync or index build runs. A failed later sync keeps the last good state and stays ready. | readiness, plus a startup probe with enough budget for the first sync (the Python service was killed mid-build when its `/health` returned 503 during the initial sync) |
+| `GET /api/v1/status` | the full picture for humans and the Settings page: index commit and age, counts, queue lengths, and one entry per registered adapter with its last check result and latency. | none |
+
+Adapter checks (Gitea reachable, embeddings endpoint answering, judge
+endpoint answering, answer model answering) are reported in `/status` and
+on the Settings page and are never part of `/ready`: a judge outage must not
+take the reader down. Their failures show up as red entries, not as
+restarts.
+
+## Phases
+
+One PR each, verified before the next. The Python `wiki-index` keeps running
+until phase 3 proves parity.
+
+0. **Skeleton.** Repository, solution, `Wiki.Core` with the ports and domain
+   types, `Wiki.Contracts` with the suites, `Wiki.Host` serving `/health`,
+   `/ready` and `/api/v1/status`. CI: test and release pipelines. Verify:
+   image in the registry, pipeline green, the Deployment's three probes
+   wired and the pod Ready.
+1. **Parity with the Python service.** Gitea, LlamaCpp and FileIndex
+   adapters, the sync use case, `/rank` and `/webhook`. Verify: the 40-query
+   recall eval gives the same numbers as the Python service on the same
+   commit; `wiki_rank.py --probe-index` against the new service passes.
+2. **Read API and UI.** Notes, tags, raw, reports; Search, Note, Browse,
+   Maintenance pages; `wiki-gate`. Verify: a note renders with resolved
+   links; an unauthenticated request is redirected to Authentik.
+3. **Ask.** Chunker, TypeSafe adapter, `/api/v1/ask`, scripts as clients.
+   Verify: `test_wiki_ask.py` passes against the API; a wiki-synth run with
+   the definition unchanged. Then the Python service is retired and the
+   `wiki-index` hostname points at the new one.
+4. **Facts.** API keys as an ExternalSecret, `IFactSink`, `/api/v1/facts`. Verify:
+   a fact posted from the workstation shows as a `claude-bot` commit and in
+   the next distill.
+5. **Questions.** Anthropic adapter, `/api/v1/questions` with streaming,
+   the Answers page with save. Verify: a question answered in under ten
+   seconds with citations that resolve to the shown evidence; a question the
+   wiki does not cover returns the gap; a saved answer appears in `output/`
+   with the wiki-synth frontmatter and is picked up by the evaluator.
+6. **Lab.** Evaluator, a second embedding model and a second answer model
+   registered, the Lab page. Verify: two models compared on the labelled set
+   from the UI.
+
+## Not in scope
+
+- Editing notes in the browser.
+- Replacing Obsidian; the vault stays a git repository and `notes-push.path`
+  keeps pushing.
+- Public exposure; LAN and VPN only.
+- Running or triggering agents. The service makes single model calls inside
+  a request; it never runs a tool loop or edits the vault. Distill,
+  consolidate and multi-question synthesis stay Claude processes in CI or in
+  a session; the service shows their inputs and outputs and serves their API
+  calls.

-## Step 4 — openbao: restore the snapshot + unseal
+## Step 4 — openbao: restore the snapshot
 
-After Step 3, OpenBao comes up **sealed and empty**. Until it is restored and
-unsealed, the `ClusterSecretStore` stays NotReady, ESO cannot materialize
-Secrets, and every secret-consuming app stays Pending. This step is **manual**
-(the unseal key lives in `pass`, off-cluster by design).
+`bootstrap.sh flux` does this step itself (`restore_openbao`): it creates the
+`openbao-seal-key` Secret from `pass` before Flux brings OpenBao up, initialises
+the empty server, restores the newest raft snapshot straight out of the Velero
+kopia repository, and waits until every replica has unsealed itself from the
+static seal. What follows is the same procedure by hand, for when the script
+is not an option.
+
+OpenBao unseals itself from the static seal (`openbao-seal-key` Secret, key
+`key`, the 32-byte base64 key from `pass show homelab/openbao/seal-key`). The
+snapshots are encrypted under that key, so it must be the same key the backed
+up cluster used — a different one restores nothing. Until the snapshot is
+restored, the `ClusterSecretStore` stays NotReady, ESO cannot materialize
+Secrets, and every secret-consuming app stays Pending.
