Recurring compensating-control review. Verified:
- alloy-k8s: Synced/Healthy on minikube-indri (DaemonSet 1/1 ready)
- alloy-ringtail: Synced/Healthy on k3s-ringtail
- loki (monitoring/loki-0): Running, receiving logs
The previous description named only minikube, but BlumeOps now runs two
clusters with the migration to ringtail in progress. Generalized the
description and notes to cover both, and added a follow-up note that
enabling native apiserver audit logging is much more tractable on k3s
than it was on minikube.

Runtime grafana pod matches the manifest and the CC's claim; bumped
last-reviewed. Noted that retiring init-chown-data in favor of fsGroup
alone should wait until grafana migrates to ringtail's k3s, since the
storage backend will change.

Verified Forgejo runner is registered only to forge.ops.eblu.me and the
forge has registration disabled, so no untrusted users can trigger
privileged CI. Tightened notes to reflect the closed-forge mechanism
(not a per-repo allow-list).

Verified TTL=604800s and hostPID limited to ephemeral Prowler CronJob
on indri. Noted that alloy-tracing on ringtail also uses hostPID but
is out of scope until Prowler scans ringtail (tracked in Todoist).

## Summary
The weekly Prowler IaC scan reported 6 critical findings against `argocd/manifests/`. They split cleanly into two patterns:
- **Legitimate-by-design RBAC → mute with new compensating controls**
- `external-secrets-controller`, `external-secrets-cert-controller` manage `secrets` (KSV-0041) and the cert-controller mutates its own webhook configurations (KSV-0114). This is what the operator is *for*. New CC: `operator-purpose-bound-rbac`.
- `kube-state-metrics` (both `minikube-indri` and `k3s-ringtail`) holds `list/watch` on secrets to expose `kube_secret_info` and `kube_secret_labels` metrics. KSM's metric schema only reads metadata, never the `data:` field. New CC: `kube-state-metrics-metadata-only`.
- **Over-broad RBAC → fix**
- `grafana-clusterrole` had `get/watch/list` on `secrets` because the dashboard-sidecar config used `RESOURCE=both` (ConfigMaps + Secrets). Nothing in the cluster labels Secrets with `grafana_dashboard=1`, so this was unused power. Switched both sidecar instances to `RESOURCE=configmap` and removed `secrets` from the ClusterRole.
The IaC cronjob also did not previously pass `--mutelist-file`, which is why every IaC finding reported as unmuted regardless of mutelist configuration. The new `mutelist/iac.yaml` is bundled into the existing `prowler-mutelist` ConfigMap and mounted via `items:` selector.
## Test plan
- [ ] `kubectl --context=minikube-indri kustomize argocd/manifests/prowler/` — already passes locally
- [ ] `kubectl --context=minikube-indri kustomize argocd/manifests/grafana/` — already passes locally
- [ ] Deploy from this branch via `argocd app set prowler --revision prowler-iac-mutelist && argocd app sync prowler` and same for `grafana`
- [ ] Manually trigger the IaC cronjob and verify `MUTED=True` on the 6 critical findings (`kubectl --context=minikube-indri -n prowler create job --from=cronjob/prowler-iac-scan prowler-iac-test`)
- [ ] Restart grafana pod and confirm dashboards still render (sidecar still finds them via ConfigMap watch)
- [ ] After verify, `argocd app set <app> --revision main && argocd app sync <app>` post-merge

Tailscale operator still defaults to privileged proxy pods with no
seccomp profile (issue #7359 open upstream). Control remains valid.
Added note about ProxyClass + device plugin remediation path.

Removed Grafana from the control description — no Prowler finding
references it. Tightened scope to match actual usage (ArgoCD wildcard
RBAC mute). Added workflow-bot scoping note.

## Summary
- Adds automated node-level verification to `review-compliance-reports`: kubelet file perms/ownership, kubelet config args, etcd CA separation, RBAC cluster-admin bindings
- Mutes the 14 MANUAL Prowler findings via new `manual-node-checks.yaml` mutelist file
- New `node-config-automated-verification` compensating control documents the approach
- Script fails loudly (red FAIL + verdict panel) if any check deviates from expected values
## Test plan
- [x] `mise run review-compliance-reports` — all 12 node checks PASS
- [x] Injected bad expected value (perms 400 vs actual 600) — FAIL rendered correctly
- [x] Fixed colon-in-binding-name bug (kubeadm:cluster-admins) with tab-separated jsonpath
- [ ] After merge: sync prowler mutelist ConfigMap and verify next scan shows 0 MANUAL findings
## Note
Prowler coverage is minikube-indri only — ringtail/k3s is a known gap tracked separately.

The control claimed all images came from the private registry, but 12+
services pull from external public registries. Updated description to
reflect reality and catalogued external-image categories in notes.

Verified: tailscale serve status shows only svc:k8s, ACLs restrict
tag:flyio-target to port 443 with admin/operator ownership only,
indri has no flyio-target tag. All 10 muted findings remain valid.
Noted gap: no automated alerting on new flyio-target devices.
Tracked in Todoist as MC4 (Manual Compliance Control Check CronJob).

Stamp single-user-cluster last-reviewed to 2026-04-01 after verifying
Tailscale ACLs and kubeconfig distribution. Add aspirational how-to card
documenting what PCI DSS evidence collection would look like (CCW,
artifacts, Drata workflow). Link from existing review process card.
