Erich Blume db0512b5d4 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.

# Authentik
OIDC identity provider for BlumeOps. Authentik is the **source of truth** for user identity — users are created and managed in Authentik, and services authenticate against it via OIDC.
## Quick Reference
| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **URL** | https://authentik.ops.eblu.me |
| **Admin UI** | https://authentik.ops.eblu.me/if/admin/ |
| **Tailscale URL** | https://authentik.tail8d86e.ts.net |
| **Namespace** | `authentik` |
| **Cluster** | k3s (ringtail) |
| **Manifests** | `argocd/manifests/authentik/` |
| **Container build** | `containers/authentik/default.nix` |
## Architecture
Authentik runs on [[ringtail]]'s k3s cluster, isolated from the main services on indri's minikube. This means the IdP is independent of the minikube cluster lifecycle.
Three deployments:
- **server** — HTTP/HTTPS interface, handles OIDC flows
- **worker** — Background tasks, blueprint application
- **redis** — Caching, sessions, task queue
## Database
Uses the shared CNPG `blumeops-pg` cluster on [[indri]], accessed cross-cluster via `pg.ops.eblu.me:5432`. Database `authentik` with managed role.
## Blueprints
Authentik configuration is managed via Blueprints (YAML) stored as a ConfigMap mounted into the worker at `/blueprints/custom/`. Current blueprints:
- **`common.yaml`** — shared identity resources (`admins` group)
- **`mfa.yaml`** — MFA enforcement on the default authentication flow (`not_configured_action: configure`)
- One blueprint per OIDC client (provider, application, and policy binding): `grafana.yaml`, `forgejo.yaml`, `zot.yaml`, `argocd.yaml`, `jellyfin.yaml`, `mealie.yaml`, `paperless.yaml`, `heph.yaml`
Group membership is included in the `profile` scope claim (Authentik built-in). Services use `--group-claim-name groups` to read it.
Blueprint file: `argocd/manifests/authentik/configmap-blueprint.yaml`
## OIDC Clients
| Client | Type |
|--------|------|
| [[grafana]] | Confidential |
| [[forgejo]] | Confidential |
| [[zot]] | Confidential |
| [[argocd]] | Public (PKCE, shared by web UI and CLI) |
| [[jellyfin]] | Confidential |
| [[mealie]] | Confidential |
| [[paperless]] | Confidential |
| heph | Public (PKCE, with `offline_access` for spoke sync refresh tokens) |
Future clients: [[miniflux]]
## Secrets
Injected via [[external-secrets]] from the "Authentik (blumeops)" 1Password item (see [[create-authentik-secrets]] for setup).
| 1Password Field | Purpose |
|-----------------|---------|
| `secret-key` | Authentik secret key |
| `postgresql-host` / `-port` / `-name` / `-user` / `-password` | PostgreSQL connection |
| `<client>-client-secret` | OIDC client secret, one per confidential client (grafana, forgejo, zot, jellyfin, mealie, paperless) |
The item also holds an `api-token` field (Authentik API access for admin scripting); it is not synced into the cluster.
## Container Image
Nix-built via `dockerTools.buildLayeredImage`. The entrypoint wrapper symlinks built-in blueprint directories from the Nix store into `/blueprints/` at runtime, allowing custom blueprints to coexist with defaults. `AUTHENTIK_BLUEPRINTS_DIR=/blueprints` overrides the hardcoded Nix store path.
