Erich Blume faf9682b55 Add service version review system (#196)
## Summary

- Add `service-versions.yaml` tracking file with 33 services and upstream release URLs
- Add `mise run service-review` task (Python uv script) mirroring the docs-review UX
- Add `review-services` how-to article covering the review process by service type
- Add `[[review-services]]` link to the how-to index Knowledge Base table

## Deployment and Testing

- [x] `mise run service-review` displays 33 services, all "never reviewed"
- [x] `mise run service-review -- --type ansible` filters to 7 Ansible services
- [x] `mise run service-review -- --limit 5` shows 5 rows
- [x] `mise run docs-check-links` — no broken wiki-links
- [x] `mise run docs-check-frontmatter` — new doc passes validation
- [x] All pre-commit hooks pass

# Review Services
How to periodically review BlumeOps services for version freshness and upgrade opportunities.
## Review by Staleness
Show services sorted by when they were last reviewed (most stale first):
```bash
mise run service-review
```
This reads the tracking file at `service-versions.yaml` (repo root) and sorts by the `last-reviewed` field. Services without a review date float to the top. The script shows a staleness table and then displays the most stale service with a review checklist.
To show more entries in the table:
```bash
mise run service-review -- --limit 30
```
To filter by service type:
```bash
mise run service-review -- --type argocd
mise run service-review -- --type ansible
mise run service-review -- --type hybrid
```
## Review Process by Service Type
### ArgoCD Services
1. Check the upstream releases page for new versions
2. Compare to the image tag or Helm chart version in `argocd/manifests/<service>/`
3. Review the upstream changelog for breaking changes
4. If upgrading, update the manifest and follow [[deploy-k8s-service]]
### Helm Chart Services
Same as ArgoCD, but also check for new chart versions in the mirrored chart repos under `argocd/manifests/<service>/charts/`.
### Hybrid Services (Custom Container + ArgoCD)
1. Check the upstream project for new releases
2. Check the base image for security updates
3. If rebuilding, follow [[build-container-image]] to tag and release
4. Update the ArgoCD manifest with the new image tag
### Ansible Services
1. Check the upstream releases page for new versions
2. Review the role's vars/defaults for version pins in `ansible/roles/<service>/`
3. If upgrading, update the version and dry-run: `mise run provision-indri -- --tags <service> --check --diff`
4. Follow [[add-ansible-role]] patterns for role changes
## Marking a Service as Reviewed
After reviewing, edit `service-versions.yaml` (repo root) and update the service entry:
```yaml
- name: prometheus
type: argocd
last-reviewed: 2026-02-16
current-version: "v3.9.1"
upstream-source: https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases
```
Commit this change alongside any upgrades you make during the review.
