## 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

## Summary
- Create Dex reference card (`docs/reference/services/dex.md`) with quick reference, architecture, identity source, storage, OIDC clients, secrets, and endpoints
- Write federated login explanation article (`docs/explanation/federated-login.md`) covering the Dex + Forgejo two-layer auth model, login flow, and break-glass access
- Add Dex to `services-check` (HTTP health endpoint + k3s pod check)
- Update Grafana docs with new Authentication section documenting SSO via Dex
- Update Forgejo docs with OAuth2 Provider section documenting its role as upstream identity source
- Add Dex to ringtail workloads table and reference service index
- Move `adopt-oidc-provider` plan to `completed/` with final design reflecting actual implementation
## Test plan
- [ ] `mise run services-check` passes (includes new Dex checks)
- [ ] `docs-check-links` passes (all wiki-links resolve)
- [ ] `docs-check-index` passes (new docs are indexed)

## Summary
- Rename `date-modified` -> `modified` in all 80 docs and the `docs-check-frontmatter` task
Quartz's `CreatedModifiedDate` plugin recognizes `modified`, `lastmod`, `updated`, and `last-modified` — but not `date-modified`. The wrong field name caused Quartz to ignore frontmatter dates entirely and fall through to filesystem timestamps (UTC inside Dagger), showing Feb 12 on pages built late on Feb 11 PST.
## Test plan
- [x] `mise run docs-check-frontmatter` passes
- [ ] Kick off docs release after merge — verify rendered dates match frontmatter values
Reviewed-on: https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/blumeops/pulls/158
## Summary
Migrates the docs build pipeline to Dagger (Phase 2 of the Dagger CI adoption plan).
- **Backfill `date-modified` frontmatter** on all 80 docs — Dagger's `--src=.` excludes `.git`, so Quartz can't use git history for page dates. Frontmatter dates work with or without git.
- **New `docs-check-frontmatter` mise task + pre-commit hook** — validates all docs have `title`, `tags`, and `date-modified`
- **New Dagger functions** — `build_changelog` (towncrier in Python container) and `build_docs` (chains changelog → Quartz build in Node container, returns tarball)
- **Simplified CI workflow** — the ~44-line inline Quartz build (clone, npm ci, build, tar, cleanup) is replaced by `dagger call build-docs`. Changelog step remains local on the runner since towncrier needs to modify the host working tree for the git commit.
### Design decisions
- **Towncrier runs twice in CI**: once inside Dagger (for the docs tarball) and once on the runner (for the git commit). This is intentional — Dagger's directory export is additive and can't delete the consumed changelog fragments from the host.
- **Artifact hosting stays on Forgejo Releases** (not migrated to Forgejo Packages as the plan doc originally suggested). That migration can happen independently.
- **`date-modified` frontmatter** preserved even though `build_changelog` installs git — the git there is only for towncrier's `git add` call, not for history. The local iteration story (`dagger call build-docs --src=. --version=dev` with uncommitted changes) depends on frontmatter dates.
### Local iteration
```bash
dagger call build-docs --src=. --version=dev export --path=./docs-dev.tar.gz
tar tf docs-dev.tar.gz | head -20
```
## Deployment and Testing
- [x] `dagger call build-docs --src=. --version=dev` produces valid 1.1MB tarball (149 HTML pages)
- [x] Pre-commit hooks pass (including new `docs-check-frontmatter`)
- [ ] Full `workflow_dispatch` run after merge

## Summary
- New `docs-review` mise task replaces `docs-review-random` — sorts docs by `last-reviewed` frontmatter field (never-reviewed first, then oldest)
- Updated review-documentation how-to to explain the new workflow and how to mark cards as reviewed
- Updated ai-assistance-guide task table to reference `docs-review`
## Test plan
- [x] `mise run docs-review` runs and shows staleness table + most stale doc
- [x] `mise run docs-review -- --limit 5` respects the limit flag
- [x] All pre-commit checks pass (links, index, filenames)

## Summary
- Introduce `tag:flyio-target` so services must explicitly opt in to be reachable by the fly.io proxy
- Replace broad `tag:k8s` and `tag:homelab` grants with the new tag in the ACL rule and test
- Add `tailscale.com/tags: "tag:k8s,tag:flyio-target"` annotation to docs, loki, and prometheus Ingresses
- Switch Alloy push endpoints from `*.ops.eblu.me` (Caddy) to `*.tail8d86e.ts.net` (Tailscale Ingress)
- Update docs: flyio-proxy, caddy, tailscale, forgejo (future public access + security checklist), expose-service-publicly
## Manual step (not in PR)
Update the k8s operator OAuth client in the Tailscale admin console to include `tag:flyio-target` in its scope. Without this, the operator cannot assign the new tag to Ingress proxy nodes.
## Deployment order
1. **Pulumi ACLs** — `mise run tailnet-preview && mise run tailnet-up`
2. **OAuth client** — Manual update in Tailscale admin console
3. **K8s Ingresses** — `argocd app sync apps && argocd app sync docs loki prometheus`
4. **Fly.io proxy** — `mise run fly-deploy`
5. **Verify** — `mise run services-check`, check Grafana dashboards
## Test plan
- [ ] `mise run tailnet-preview` shows clean diff
- [ ] `argocd app diff docs`, `argocd app diff loki`, `argocd app diff prometheus` show only annotation additions
- [ ] After deploy: Grafana dashboards show continued log/metric flow
- [ ] `curl -sf https://docs.eblu.me` returns 200
- [ ] `mise run services-check` passes

## Summary
- Updated frontmatter `title:` in all 63 doc cards from slug-case to human-readable (e.g. `borgmatic` → `Borgmatic`, `ai-assistance-guide` → `AI Assistance Guide`)
- Titles now closely match file stems so `[[wiki-links]]` render naturally without alternate anchor text
- Corrected titles that diverged from stems (e.g. `host-inventory` → `Hosts`, `grafana-alloy` → `Alloy`, `argocd-applications` → `Apps`)
- Deleted `title-test-alpha.md` and `title-test-beta.md` test cards and removed their reference index entry
## Deployment and Testing
- [x] `docs-check-links` passes — all wiki-links valid
- [x] `docs-check-index` passes
- [x] `docs-check-filenames` passes
- [ ] Verify titles render correctly on docs site after deploy

## Summary
- Rename section index files to match their titles (tutorials.md, reference.md, how-to.md, explanation.md) so all filenames are unique
- Convert all ~47 path-based wiki-links to simple filename format across 15 files
- Update doc-filenames task to no longer skip index.md files
- Update doc-links task to reject path-based links containing '/'
This ensures all wiki-links work correctly in obsidian.nvim by making links resolvable by filename alone.
## Testing
- `mise run doc-filenames` - all unique
- `mise run doc-links` - no broken or path-based links
- `mise run doc-titles` - no duplicates

## Summary
- Create `docs/explanation/` directory with index and three explanation articles

- architecture: How pieces fit together (ASCII diagrams of hosts, data flow, secrets)
- security-model: Tailscale zero-trust, 1Password secrets, access control philosophy
- Update docs/index.md with How-to and Explanation section links
- Update exploring-the-docs to link Explanation section
Decision log deferred to future work.
## Deployment and Testing
- [x] Pre-commit hooks pass (including doc-links validator)
- [ ] Build and deploy to docs.ops.eblu.me to verify rendering
