Home-built Grafana 12.3.3 container is ready. Dockerfile builds from
Alpine 3.22 + official OSS tarball, verified via dagger and
container-version-check.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When manually dispatching a container build with --ref, the build job
now checks out the specified commit instead of the branch HEAD. This
allows building containers from feature branches before merging.

## Summary
- **C0 (Quick Fix):** Now explicitly allows direct-to-main commits with no PR required — for low-risk, fix-forward-safe changes
- **C1 (Human Review):** New docs-first workflow with branch deployment (ArgoCD `--revision`, Ansible from checkout). Includes upgrade criteria for escalation to C2
- **C2 (Mikado Chain):** Introduces the **Mikado Branch Invariant** — strict commit ordering where card-introducing commits come first, followed by code progress, followed by card closures. Branch resets required when new prerequisites are discovered
Updates CLAUDE.md rules (3, 4, 8, 9) to reflect that C0 bypasses branching/PR requirements. Also updates ai-assistance-guide, how-to index, and docs-mikado task description.

## Summary
- Delete the old 3-phase Helm chart upgrade plan (predates Mikado system)
- Create C2 Mikado chain with goal card `upgrade-grafana` and two leaf prereqs:
- `kustomize-grafana-deployment` — convert Helm to kustomize manifests
- `build-grafana-container` — home-built Grafana 12.x image (no upstream containers)
- Record first-ever Grafana review: currently at v11.4.0 on Helm chart 8.8.2
- Update service-versions.yaml, how-to index, and plans index
## Service Review Findings
- Grafana is healthy and synced in ArgoCD
- Running v11.4.0, latest upstream is 12.3.3
- Breaking changes for 12.x are low-risk (React panels only, UIDs compliant)
- PVC is disposable — dashboards and datasources are all config-provisioned
## Deployment and Testing
- [ ] No deployment needed — documentation-only change
- [ ] `docs-check-links` passes
- [ ] `docs-check-index` passes

- Marks deploy-authentik as completed in plans index and completed archive
- Removes hardcoded image tag from authentik reference card (use `service-versions.yaml`)
- Adds `last-reviewed: 2026-02-23` frontmatter
## Test plan
- [x] All pre-commit hooks pass (docs-check-links, docs-check-index, etc.)
- [x] ArgoCD app verified synced and healthy

## Summary
- Add `--progress=plain` to all `dagger call` invocations in mise tasks to prevent SIGTTOU hangs
## Root cause
Mise runs task scripts in a child process group that is not the terminal's foreground group. When `dagger call` detects a TTY (inherited from the interactive shell), it tries to render its TUI progress display, which requires terminal ioctls. Since the process is not in the foreground group, the kernel sends SIGTTOU, stopping the process indefinitely.
This only manifests when running from an interactive terminal (e.g. `pre-commit run --all-files` in fish/wezterm). CI and piped contexts are unaffected since there's no TTY.
## Changes
- `mise-tasks/validate-workflows` — add `--progress=plain`
- `mise-tasks/frigate-export-model` — add `--progress=plain`
- `mise-tasks/provision-ringtail` — add `--progress=plain`
## Test plan
- [x] `pre-commit run --all-files` completes without hanging
- [ ] Verify in interactive fish/wezterm terminal

## Summary
- `foldersFromFilesStructure` was `false` in Grafana's sidecar provider config, causing Grafana to ignore the subdirectory structure the sidecar creates from `grafana_folder` annotations
- All 18 TeslaMate dashboards were appearing in the root "Dashboards" folder despite having `grafana_folder: "TeslaMate"` annotations on their ConfigMaps
- Flipping to `true` makes Grafana replicate the sidecar's directory structure as UI folders
## Deployment and Testing
- [ ] Sync `grafana` app: `argocd app sync grafana`
- [ ] Verify TeslaMate dashboards appear under a "TeslaMate" folder in Grafana's dashboard list
- [ ] Verify other dashboards remain in the root "Dashboards" folder

## Summary
Completes the `upgrade-k8s-runner` mikado chain. Both prerequisites (workflow validation in Dagger, config review against v12 defaults) were resolved in #250.
- Bump runner image `code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner:6.3.1` → `12.7.0`
- Update `service-versions.yaml` to track new version
- Mark goal card complete (remove `status: active`)
## Deployment and Testing
After merge:
1. `argocd app sync forgejo-runner`
2. Verify runner registers in Forgejo admin → runners
3. Trigger a test workflow (e.g. `branch-cleanup.yaml` manual dispatch)
Rollback: revert image tag to `6.3.1`, push, sync.

## Summary
- Review runner config against v12.7.0 defaults — added `shutdown_timeout: 3h`, no breaking changes found
- Add `validate_workflows` Dagger function using `forgejo-runner validate --directory .` inside upstream container
- All 6 workflows pass v12.7.0 schema validation
- Wire `mise run validate-workflows` task and pre-commit hook on `.forgejo/workflows/` changes
- Mark both leaf Mikado cards (`review-runner-config-v12`, `validate-workflows-against-v12`) complete
## Mikado State
After merge, `upgrade-k8s-runner` goal card has no unmet dependencies — ready to execute the actual image bump in a follow-up PR.
## Test Plan
- [x] `dagger call validate-workflows --src=.` passes (all 6 workflows OK)
- [x] Pre-commit hooks pass
- [ ] Reviewer: confirm `shutdown_timeout: 3h` addition to ConfigMap looks reasonable

## Summary
- C2 Mikado chain for upgrading the k8s forgejo-runner daemon (6 major versions behind)
- Root goal card with two leaf prerequisites: workflow validation and config review
- Ringtail runner is already at ~v12.6.4 via nixpkgs, no work needed there
## Mikado Chain
```
upgrade-k8s-runner (goal)
├── validate-workflows-against-v12 (leaf)
└── review-runner-config-v12 (leaf)
```
Both leaves are actionable now. The biggest risk is workflow schema validation
(introduced in v8/v9) rejecting our existing workflows.
## Next Steps
Work the leaf nodes in a follow-up session, then attempt the goal.

## Summary
- Enable OIDC + API key authentication on zot registry with three-tier accessControl
- `anonymousPolicy: ["read"]` — anyone can pull
- `artifact-workloads` group: `["read", "create"]` — CI push, no overwrite/delete
- `admins` group: `["read", "create", "update", "delete"]` — break-glass
- Wire both CI push paths (Dagger and Nix/skopeo) with `ZOT_CI_API_KEY` credentials
- Add `artifact-workloads` PolicyBinding in Authentik blueprint for zot app access
- Add `ZOT_CI_API_KEY` to Forgejo Actions secrets via existing ansible role
Completes the `wire-ci-registry-auth` and `harden-zot-registry` Mikado cards.
## Manual Deployment Steps (after merge)
1. Deploy Authentik blueprint: `argocd app sync authentik`
2. In Authentik admin UI: set a password for the `zot-ci` service account
3. Deploy zot config: `mise run provision-indri -- --tags zot`
4. Log in to `https://registry.ops.eblu.me` as `zot-ci` via OIDC → generate API key
5. Store API key in 1Password as `zot-ci-apikey` in blumeops vault
6. Sync Forgejo secrets: `mise run provision-indri -- --tags forgejo_actions_secrets`
7. Trigger a test container build to verify CI push
8. Verify anonymous pull: `curl -sf https://registry.ops.eblu.me/v2/_catalog`
## Uncertainties
- **Zot `accessControl` group matching with OIDC:** Groups from Authentik's `profile` scope claim should map to zot policy groups, but the exact claim-to-group matching needs runtime verification
- **`http.auth.apikey: true`:** This config key is documented but needs verification against the specific zot version built from source on indri
- **API key permissions:** Need to confirm zot API keys inherit the generating user's group for accessControl evaluation
## Test Plan
- [ ] `mise run provision-indri -- --check --diff --tags zot` shows expected config changes
- [ ] Anonymous pull works after deploy
- [ ] Unauthenticated push fails (401)
- [ ] OIDC browser login redirects to Authentik and back
- [ ] API key push works after key generation
- [ ] CI push succeeds with both Dagger and skopeo paths
- [ ] `mise run services-check` passes

Completed in PR #236. Updated card to reflect what was actually
implemented, including deviations (worker env var wiring, manual
service account setup).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
## Summary
- Add Authentik blueprint (`zot.yaml`) with OAuth2 provider, application, `artifact-workloads` group, and `zot-ci` service account
- Wire `zot-client-secret` through ExternalSecret → worker Deployment env var → blueprint `!Env`
- Add Ansible pre_task to fetch OIDC secret from 1Password (item ID `oor7os5kapczgpbwv7obkca4y4`)
- Add `oidc-credentials.json.j2` template and deploy task in zot role (with `when` guard)
## Manual Steps Required Before Deploy
1. Generate client secret: `openssl rand -hex 32`
2. Store in 1Password: add field `zot-client-secret` to "Authentik (blumeops)" item in vault `blumeops`
## What This Does NOT Do
- Does NOT modify `config.json.j2` (that's the root goal `harden-zot-registry`)
- Does NOT wire CI auth (that's `wire-ci-registry-auth`)
- Does NOT set service account password or API keys (manual post-deploy)
## Verification
After ArgoCD sync:
- [ ] Authentik admin UI shows "Zot Registry" application
- [ ] OIDC discovery at `https://authentik.ops.eblu.me/application/o/zot/.well-known/openid-configuration` returns valid JSON
- [ ] Blueprint status is `successful`
- [ ] `artifact-workloads` group exists with `zot-ci` service account

## Summary
- Removed `status: active` from `enforce-tag-immutability` card — its requirements are folded into the parent `harden-zot-registry` goal's `accessControl` configuration
- Updated `harden-zot-registry` with three-tier access control spec (anonymous read, artifact-workloads read+create, admins full)
- Added `artifact-workloads` group creation step to `register-zot-oidc-client`
- Added service account context to `wire-ci-registry-auth`
## Rationale
Tag immutability requires authentication to be meaningful. Without auth, everyone is anonymous and gets the same policy. Rather than client-side push checks, the registry enforces immutability server-side: CI gets `["read", "create"]` (no update/delete), so pushing an existing tag is rejected by zot itself.
## Test plan
- [ ] `mise run docs-check-links` passes
- [ ] `mise run docs-mikado` shows enforce-tag-immutability as resolved

## Summary
- Add `dagger` to `hostPackages` for the ringtail nix-container-builder runner
- Needed for `dagger call nix-version` fallback in the nix build workflow (authentik)
- `hostPackages` is scoped to the runner's systemd unit PATH, not system-wide
- Marks `install-dagger-on-nix-runner` Mikado card complete
## Deployment and Testing
- [ ] Merge, then `mise run provision-ringtail`
- [ ] `mise run container-build-and-release authentik` to verify nix build succeeds
Reviewed-on: https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/blumeops/pulls/234
## Summary
- New Mikado card: the ringtail nix-container-builder runner lacks dagger, which the nix workflow needs for `dagger call nix-version` (authentik version extraction fallback)
- Re-opens `adopt-commit-based-container-tags` with this new prerequisite
- All other containers (11 Dockerfile-only, nettest + ntfy with nix) build fine — only authentik's nix build is blocked
## Deployment and Testing
- Docs only, no deployment needed

- Replace `container-tag-and-release` task with `container-build-and-release` (dispatches workflows via Forgejo API)
- Update dagger `publish()` to accept `commit_sha` parameter
- Update all docs and references to the new workflow
## Deployment and Testing
- [ ] Merge to main

## Summary
C2 Mikado chain for deploying Authentik as the SSO identity provider, replacing Dex.
This PR will evolve over multiple sessions. Each iteration adds documentation (prerequisite cards) and eventually code as leaf nodes are resolved.
## Current Mikado State
- **Goal:** `deploy-authentik` (active)
- **Leaf prerequisites:**
- `build-authentik-container` — Build Nix container image
- `provision-authentik-database` — Create PostgreSQL database on CNPG cluster
- `create-authentik-secrets` — Create 1Password item with credentials
## Process refinements
- Updated agent-change-process with lessons from first attempt: reset code before committing cards, open PRs early
## Test plan
- [ ] `mise run docs-mikado` shows correct dependency chain
- [ ] Leaf nodes can be worked independently
- [ ] Container builds on ringtail
- [ ] Authentik starts and reaches healthy state
- [ ] Forgejo OAuth2 connector works
Reviewed-on: https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/blumeops/pulls/227
## Summary
- Strip detailed phase instructions from deploy-authentik plan (400→50 lines)
- Retain architecture decisions (ringtail, CNPG on indri, Nix containers, kustomize, Tailscale+Caddy) and open questions
- Add `status: active` frontmatter — now visible as a root goal in `mise run docs-mikado`
- Update plans index to reflect Active (C2) status
This is the first real use of the C2 Mikado chain system from #225. Future sessions will discover prerequisites, create sub-cards with `requires`, and work leaf nodes first.
