Erich Blume 27d8f3cf1f Review gandi-operations doc and reorganize how-to guides (#200)
## Summary
- **Doc review:** Reviewed `gandi-operations.md` — added `last-reviewed` frontmatter, verified all wiki-links, confirmed Pulumi state has no drift
- **Gandi reference fix:** Added missing `cv.eblu.me` CNAME row to `gandi.md` DNS records table (was present in Pulumi but undocumented)
- **Pulumi comment fix:** Updated stale `README.md` reference in `__main__.py` to point to `docs/how-to/gandi-operations.md`
- **How-to reorg:** Moved 14 how-to guides into 3 subdirectories (`deployment/`, `configuration/`, `operations/`), collapsed the Documentation and Database index sections into Configuration and Operations respectively

## Verification
- `docs-check-links` — all 180 wiki-links valid
- `docs-check-filenames` — all 90 filenames unique
- `dns-preview` — 5 resources unchanged, no drift
- All pre-commit hooks pass

## Test plan
- [ ] Verify docs site builds correctly with new paths
- [ ] Spot-check a few wiki-links from other pages to moved how-to guides

# Gandi Operations
How to manage DNS records and cycle the Gandi API token.
## Prerequisites
- Pulumi CLI installed (`brew install pulumi`)
- Access to 1Password blumeops vault (for PAT)
- On the tailnet (Pulumi resolves indri's IP via MagicDNS)
## Preview and Apply DNS Changes
```bash
# Preview changes (always do this first)
mise run dns-preview
# Apply changes
mise run dns-up
```
Both tasks fetch the Gandi PAT from 1Password automatically.
To run Pulumi directly:
```bash
export GANDI_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=$(op read "op://vg6xf6vvfmoh5hqjjhlhbeoaie/mco6ka3dc3rmw7zkg2dhia5d2m/pat")
cd pulumi/gandi
pulumi preview
pulumi up --yes
```
## Cycle the Gandi PAT
The Gandi Personal Access Token has a maximum lifetime of 90 days. Currently set to 30 days as a security compromise, though shorter may be appropriate given infrequent use.
### 1. Create a new PAT
Go to the [Gandi admin console](https://admin.gandi.net/organizations/1db8d76a-f729-11ed-b8d1-00163e94b645/account/pat) and create a new token:
- **Name:** `blumeops-pulumi` (or similar)
- **Expiration:** 30 days (max 90; shorter is fine if you run this rarely)
- **Required permission:** Manage domain name technical configurations
- **Also enable:** See and renew domain names
Copy the new PAT to your clipboard.
### 2. Update 1Password
With the new PAT on your clipboard:
```bash
op item edit mco6ka3dc3rmw7zkg2dhia5d2m pat="$(pbpaste)" --vault vg6xf6vvfmoh5hqjjhlhbeoaie
```
### 3. Delete the old PAT
Return to the Gandi admin console and delete the previous token.
### 4. Verify
```bash
mise run dns-preview
```
A successful preview confirms the new PAT is working.
## Break-Glass Override
If MagicDNS is unavailable and Pulumi can't resolve indri's IP, set the target IP manually. Find indri's current Tailscale IP via `tailscale status` or the admin console:
```bash
export BLUMEOPS_REVERSE_PROXY_IP=<indri-tailscale-ip>
mise run dns-up
```
