 # Sprint 9+ lane. This manifest is static-valid without requiring the image to
 # exist yet; import localhost/fc-devicemgmt-web:<tag> to all schedulable RKE2
 # nodes before letting ArgoCD sync a live rollout.
+#
+# SCALED TO 0 — 2026-05-19 morning-routine cleanup.
+# The Web pod cannot start until TWO upstream gaps close:
+#   1. MySQL DB instance `flowercore_devicemgmt` (user `fc_devicemgmt`) is
+#      provisioned via fc-mysql Manager. The cluster currently has ZERO
+#      MySqlInstanceCrds and no `mysql.fc-mysql.svc:3306` Service, so the
+#      deployment-web container env `FlowerCore__Database__Host=mysql.fc-mysql.svc`
+#      points at nothing. Provision via the fc-mysql Manager UI/REST/MCP.
+#   2. 1Password vault item `IAmWorkin/FlowerCore DeviceManagement Runtime`
+#      with 5 fields (DB-Password, mtls-ca.pem, mtls-client.crt, mtls-client.key,
+#      mtls-chain.pem) — see apps/fc-devicemgmt/1password-item.yaml. Mint mTLS
+#      from step-ca-agent ClusterIssuer per ADR-126; DB-Password must match the
+#      password configured for the MySQL user.
+# Re-enable: change replicas back to 2 after both gaps close. The image tag
+# in this file (v20260512-cx5) MAY also need a refresh — it predates the
+# Sprint 34 Cl-3 operator fix; Web may have an analogous bug.
