Doc review: 5 stalest cards; scale back ai-docs rule; document heph CLI (#373)

## Doc review (5 stalest, all never-reviewed)

Each card was verified against live state (ArgoCD app list/health, manifests, 1Password item fields, Mealie API probe) and stamped `last-reviewed: 2026-06-09`.

| Card | Findings fixed |
|------|----------------|
| `reference/services/argocd.md` | Added Authentik SSO (public PKCE client, `--sso` login, admins→role:admin RBAC); documented dual-cluster management (minikube + ringtail k3s at `ringtail.tail8d86e.ts.net:6443`); corrected sync policy — the `apps` root is **manual**, not automated |
| `reference/services/authentik.md` | Blueprint list grown from 5 to 10 files; OIDC client table now lists all 8 clients with types; secrets table updated to `postgresql-*` fields and per-client secrets |
| `reference/services/grafana.md` | TeslaMate datasource moved to `pg.ops.eblu.me:5434` (ringtail); dashboard inventory refreshed (20 provisioned ConfigMaps); TeslaMate dashboards documented as init-container fetch from forge mirror at pinned tag; SSO role mapping wording corrected (Admin only for `admins` group) |
| `reference/infrastructure/unifi.md` | UnPoller image is now locally built (`registry.ops.eblu.me/blumeops/unpoller`); verified namespace/port |
| `how-to/mealie/plan-a-meal.md` | Procedure verified; **found the stored API token (`op://blumeops/mealie/credential`) returns 401** — operational fix in progress, doc content unchanged |

## AGENTS.md

- **Scaled back the ai-docs rule** (per discussion): agents now start by finding and reading relevant docs; `mise run ai-docs` (~130K tokens now) and `ai-sources` become opt-in bulk loads. `agent-change-process.md` updated to match. The `ai-docs` mise task itself is kept for now — happy to retire it in a follow-up if desired.
- **Documented the heph CLI** task workflow (list/show/context/log read paths; done/drop/skip/log/edit/task write paths) so future sessions can read and manipulate Blumeops tasks without rediscovery.

-1. **Always run `mise run ai-docs` at session start**
-    This will refresh your context with important information you will be assumed to know and follow.
-    **Read the full output** — never truncate, pipe to `head`/`tail`, or skip sections.
-    For problems with a large surface area, ask the user if `mise run ai-sources` should also be run — it concatenates all non-doc source files (~270K tokens) for deep codebase context.
+1. **Start every task by finding and reading the relevant docs**
+    Search `docs/` for cards related to the change area (grep for titles/tags, follow `[[wiki-links]]`) and read what you find before acting. Wiki-links refer to cards under `docs/` by filename stem.
+    For problems with a very large surface area, `mise run ai-sources` concatenates all non-doc source files (~270K tokens) — opt-in only, confirm with the user before loading it wholesale; targeted reading is usually better.
 2. **Always use `--context=minikube-indri` with kubectl** (or `--context=k3s-ringtail` for ringtail services) - work contexts must never be touched
     **NEVER run `minikube delete`** — it destroys all PVs, etcd, and cluster state. Use `minikube stop`/`minikube start` for restarts. If minikube is stuck, see [[restart-indri]]. Full rebuild from scratch requires the DR procedure in [[rebuild-minikube-cluster]].
 3. **Classify the change as C0/C1/C2 before starting** (see below) — this determines branching and PR requirements

+the user's self-hosted context/task system. The CLI is a thin client of the
+local `hephd` daemon. (This replaced the retired `blumeops-tasks` mise task,
+which read from Todoist.)
+
+### Reading tasks
 
 ```fish

+`state`, `do_date`/`late_on` (epoch ms), `recurrence` (RFC-5545), and
+`attention` (red|orange|white|blue — a1–a4 urgency tiers; blue = on-deck).
+
+### Manipulating tasks
+
+```fish
+heph done <node_id>                   # mark done (recurring tasks roll forward)

+heph edit <node_id> --do-date +3d     # reschedule; also --late-on/--recur/--attention/--project (`none` clears)
+heph task "Title" --project Blumeops --do-date fri --attention white  # create a task
+```
+
+Date forms: `today|tomorrow|+3d|fri|YYYY-MM-DD`. Recurrence: presets
+(`daily|weekly|monthly|yearly|weekdays`) or natural language (`"every 3 days"`).
+
+Conventions: don't save TODOs to agent memory — file them as heph tasks under
+the Blumeops project. When completing a recurring chore (e.g. "BlumeOps doc
+review"), `heph log` a short note of what was done, then `heph done` it.

+```bash
+argocd app sync apps

-- Git deploy key (SSH): 1Password
+This gives explicit control over every deployment; nothing rolls out on push alone.
+
+## Authentication
+
+- **SSO via [[authentik]]** — OIDC with a public PKCE client (`argocd`), shared by the web UI and CLI: `argocd login argocd.ops.eblu.me --sso`. The Authentik `admins` group maps to `role:admin` via the RBAC ConfigMap; the default policy grants no access.
+- **Local admin** — break-glass password in 1Password (blumeops vault), for when Authentik is down.
+
+The git deploy key (SSH) is injected via [[external-secrets]].
