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.

Exploring the Documentation

Audiences: All (Owner, AI, Reader, Contributor, Replicator)

This guide explains how the BlumeOps documentation is organized and how to find what you need.

Documentation Structure

The docs follow the Diataxis framework:

Section Purpose When to Use
Tutorials Learning-oriented "I'm new and want to understand"
Reference Information-oriented "I need specific technical details"
How-to Task-oriented "I need to do X"
Explanation Understanding-oriented "I want to understand why"

Quick Paths by Audience

For Erich (Owner)

You probably want quick access to operational details:

  • How-to guides for common operations (deploy, troubleshoot, update ACLs)
  • Reference has service URLs, commands, and config locations
  • ai-assistance-guide explains how to work effectively with AI agents

For AI Agents

Context for effective assistance:

  • Read ai-assistance-guide for operational conventions
  • Reference has the technical specifics you'll need
  • The repo's AGENTS.md has critical rules (especially the kubectl context requirement)

For External Readers

Understanding what this is:

  • Explanation covers the "why" behind design decisions
  • Reference shows what's actually running
  • Browse service pages to see specific implementations

For Contributors

Getting started with changes:

  • contributing walks through the workflow
  • How-to guides for specific tasks (deploy services, add roles)
  • Reference tells you where things live

For Replicators

Replicators are people who want to build their own similar homelab GitOps setup, using BlumeOps as inspiration.

  • replicating-blumeops provides the overview, with linked tutorials that go deep on individual components
  • Explanation covers architecture and design rationale
  • Reference pages show specific configuration choices

Documentation uses [[wiki-links]] for cross-references:

  • [[service-name]] links by filename stem (must be unambiguous)
  • [[path/to/file]] links by path from docs root (for disambiguation)
  • [[page|Display Text]] customizes the link text

When reading on the web (docs.eblu.me), these render as clickable links. The backlinks panel shows what references each page.

Prek hooks validate that all wiki-links resolve to existing files and flag ambiguous bare-name links.

AI Context Priming

AI agents prime themselves by searching docs/ for cards relevant to the task at hand and following wiki-links from there. (The retired ai-docs mise task used to concatenate every doc for this purpose, but the corpus outgrew a context window.) For deep codebase questions, mise run ai-sources concatenates all non-doc source files.
