  # Runtime image, not CI tooling: upstream containernetworking/plugins binaries
  # baked in, consumed by the multus cni-plugins-installer DaemonSet. Replaces a
  # node-side fetch from GitHub that had NO checksum verification and sat on the
  # critical path of every node rebuild. The download now happens here, once,
  # where the sha256 is checked — see the Containerfile for the full rationale.
+  #
+  # This one ALSO publishes to ghcr.io. A cold-rebuild rehearsal proved why: the
+  # DaemonSet could not pull from gitea.renner.uno, because Gitea runs inside the
+  # very cluster being rebuilt. Without the plugins there is no macvlan, so
+  # Multus cannot attach ceph-san, so Rook's network canary never starts, so the
+  # CephCluster sits at "Configuring Ceph Mons" — and OpenBao waits forever for a
+  # PVC that will never bind. Moving the download here fixed the integrity gap
+  # but quietly swapped github.com on the critical path for something strictly
+  # worse: a registry that by definition does not exist during a recovery. The
+  # GHCR copy is public, so a bare node can pull it with no credential and no
+  # Gitea.
+  #
+  # The test that proved this also proved the rule is not specific to this
+  # image. alpine-jq and alpine-openssl mirror for the same reason — see the
+  # note on build-alpine-jq. Anything an app needs while the cluster is still
+  # being built cannot live only in that cluster's own registry.

+"""netbird-service-sync: 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. The target sends a
+PROXY protocol v2 header so Traefik (and CrowdSec behind its access log) sees
+the WAN client address instead of the routing peer's pod IP.
+
+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.

+"""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.

+# 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

+# 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.
+
+## Architecture: ports in the core, adapters around it

+   (later: Database, Ollama/Onnx, local Jev, pgvector/Qdrant, OpenAI-compatible answer models)
+```
+
+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.
+
+### Ports
+
+| port | what it abstracts | first adapter | examples of the next ones |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `INoteStore` | read notes, raw sources and reports; enumerate by kind; observe changes (content hash per document) | Gitea repository API (`k.renner/notes`, blob SHA) | git checkout on a volume; a database (CNPG Postgres) with the vault imported; an Obsidian sync folder |
+| `IFactSink` | append a new raw source with provenance | Gitea contents API, new file on `main` | database insert; git commit on a checkout |
+| `IEmbeddingModel` | text → vector, with a model id and dimension | llama-server `/v1/embeddings` (bge-m3 via wiki-embed, the model that won the German-document comparison on accuracy per cost) | the qwen3 embedding variants from that comparison; ONNX in-process; any OpenAI-compatible endpoint |
+| `IVectorIndex` | store vectors per (model id, document), query top-k | in-memory cosine with a file snapshot per model, as today | pgvector in the database; Qdrant |
+| `IChunker` | split a document into addressable units for typed questions | paragraph splitter (headings, fences), as in `wiki_ask.py` | sentence windows; semantic chunks |
+| `IJudge` | typed questions over a state: Choice, Noul, Score, with probabilities | TypeSafe System One (`jev-latest`, cloud; the wiki records no locally hosted Jev today) | a locally hosted Jev with the same request shape, should TypeSafe offer one; a constrained-output local LLM adapter, flagged as uncalibrated |
+| `IAnswerModel` | prose from a question plus evidence: the selected paragraphs with their notes and the judgements; must cite by slug; streaming | Anthropic Messages API (Claude, model from config, Sonnet by default) | any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, including the local llama-server; a different Claude model per question |
+| `IEvaluator` | measure a retrieval or judge configuration against the labelled set (questions and cited sources in `output/`) | recall@k, hit rate, MRR, as `wiki_rank_eval.py` | judge accuracy against hand-labelled paragraphs |
+| `IIdentity` | who is calling, for attribution of facts and saved answers | Authentik proxy headers (humans), API key (machines), as in shelly-manager | OIDC bearer tokens |
+
+Two ports deserve a sentence of scope each. The judge returns judgements
+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
+"Wiki": {
+  "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.
