fc-desktop: add remotedesktop warm pool intent

Removes the apps/brochure/ directory entirely from the bluejay-infra
ApplicationSet glob. ArgoCD will:

  1. See infra-brochure has no git source -> mark for delete
  2. Prune the brochure namespace + Deployment + Service + Certificate
     + Secret + IngressRoute (all generated from the now-gone
     apps/brochure/brochure.yaml)
  3. Remove the infra-brochure Application from argocd ns

Operator decision 2026-05-19 (follow-up to 09387f9 ARCHIVED banner
commit): "Yes, prune argo for brochure. Probably fully deleted there."

The brochure subdomain project was a planning-chain misinterpretation
of "make TtsReader + AI Station production-ready" — see
memory/project_brochure_split_misinterpretation_archived_2026_05_19.md
in FlowerCore.Notes for the full decision record.

Reusable artifacts that were the operator's archive concern stay alive
in their actual homes:

- FlowerCore.Intranet.Web PR #8 content-NuGet carve-out: still in
  Intranet's master, may transfer to TtsReader / AI Station prod work
- Sprint 32 Cl-5 substrate (public-twin design ideas): SUPERSEDED banner
  in-place in FlowerCore.Notes docs/standards/, history preserved
- magpie-doc-writer + wren-walkthrough skill output: unchanged in
  Intranet's flowercore-whats-new/walkthroughs/galleries directories

Companion Notes-side commit updates the "scaled to 0 + ARCHIVED banner"
language in mvp-readiness.html + fleet-roadmap-2026-05-19-sprint36-v2.md
+ memory record to reflect full deletion instead.

Wrong-codebase image localhost/fc-brochure-web:v20260524-sprint32 is
being removed from rke2-server / rke2-agent1 / rke2-agent2 in a
follow-up step (reclaims ~800MB per node).

 - **CoreDNS template + ndots:5 collision**: inside pods, `<svc>.<ns>.svc.cluster.local` with <5 dots gets search-expanded through `iamworkin.lan` FIRST and hits the wildcard template → resolves to Traefik VIP, not the real ClusterIP. Use short service names (`<svc>`) in K8s manifests. See memory `feedback_coredns_ndots_template_collision.md`.
 - **Image not on node**: pods stuck `ErrImageNeverPull` means the image wasn't imported to the node Kubernetes scheduled the pod onto. `ctr images import` on all of rke2-server, rke2-agent1, rke2-agent2.
 - **StatefulSet PVC drift**: `volumeClaimTemplates` needs explicit `volumeMode: Filesystem` or ArgoCD SSA self-heals forever. See memory `feedback_argocd_statefulset_pvc_drift.md`.
+- **IngressRoute namespace split**: this RKE2 Traefik install does not allow cross-namespace service refs. Keep the `IngressRoute`, backend `Service`, and TLS secret in the same namespace; if one host is shared across namespaces, duplicate the `Certificate` and move the route next to the destination service.
+- **Public read-only hosts**: if a public host fronts a service that also exposes admin writes internally, add a Traefik route match like `Host(...) && (Method(GET) || Method(HEAD))` on the public edge instead of trusting the app to reject unsafe methods.
+- **Public read-write allowlist hosts**: if a public host accepts a tightly bounded write surface (e.g. bootstrap-JWT POST), pin the allowlist as `(Method(GET) || Method(HEAD) || Method(POST) || Method(OPTIONS))`. PUT/PATCH/DELETE must still 404 at the route. Track A's `updatecenter.iamworkin.lan` / `updates.iamworkin.lan` are the canonical example. The lint test enforces this invariant.
+- **Traefik VIP netpols**: when a `NetworkPolicy` allows `10.0.56.200`, also allow the post-DNAT backend ports (`8443` for TLS plus `8080` or `8000` for HTTP) or Calico will drop the rewritten flow.
+- **Auth-safe probes**: services behind API-key or global auth middleware should prefer `tcpSocket` probes unless `/health` is explicitly exempted before the middleware runs.
 - **ArgoCD must use internal Gitea URL**: `http://gitea-clusterip.gitea.svc.cluster.local:3000/bluejay/bluejay-infra.git`, not the external HTTPS URL (step-ca cert isn't trusted by ArgoCD). The `ApplicationSet` and any hand-created `Application` must both use the internal URL.
 
+## Local manifest lint
+
+The repo now carries a local-first lint pass for the recurring K8s gotchas that have burned the fleet:
+
+```bash
+dotnet test tests/bluejay-infra-lint/BluejayInfraLint.Tests.csproj -c Release
+```
+
+That test project sweeps `bluejay-infra/apps/**` plus the canonical sibling `FlowerCore.*\\k8s` manifests that share the same workspace. Matching `conftest.dev` policy files live under `tests/bluejay-infra-lint/conftest.dev/` for environments that also have `conftest` or `opa`.

+# 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

+#
+# Phase A scope (this file):
+#   - Single Redis 7.x Alpine pod
+#   - 1Gi Longhorn RWO PVC for AOF persistence
+#   - ClusterIP Service at `redis.fc-redis.svc.cluster.local:6379`

+#   - No IngressRoute (backplane is server-to-server only)

+# Consumers (Phase A IMPL across FC services):
+#   - FlowerCore.Signage.Web (OpsConsoleHub)
+#   - FlowerCore.Scoreboard.Web (ScoreboardHub)
+#   - FlowerCore.SignalControl.Web
+#   - FlowerCore.DMS.Web
+#   - Any other product joining the cross-product event bus
+#
+# Each consumer adds:

+# fc-signage-appletv
+
+Apple TV signage is a sealed appliance running the `FlowerCore.Signage.Agent.AppleTv` tvOS app per ADR-134.
+
+This ApplicationSet entry is documentation and inventory metadata only. It intentionally creates no `Deployment`, `Service`, or `Pod`.
+
+The Apple TV app connects outbound to existing FC.Signage.Web surfaces:
+
+- `https://signage.iamworkin.lan/hub/signage` for SignalR live status.
+- `GET /api/v1/nodes/{nodeId}/state` for the 30 second polling fallback.
+- `POST /api/v1/nodes/register` and `POST /api/v1/nodes/{nodeId}/enroll` for pairing and mTLS enrollment.
+- `POST /api/v1/nodes/{nodeId}/heartbeat` for metrics, current content identity, and local audit excerpts.
+
+Distribution is via Apple Developer Enterprise Program or TestFlight plus FC.Distribution / UpdateCenter publishing once Apple credentials are available.

+# FlowerCore Signage Pi Player
+
+Phase 1 Raspberry Pi signage player packaging for Chromium kiosk deployments.
+This bundle is intentionally air-gap friendly: systemd units, shell scripts,
+udev rules, and Chromium managed policy are all checked into the repo and are
+installed by `FlowerCore.Puppet`.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Bootstrap a stable node identity and mTLS client certificate.
+- Launch Chromium in kiosk mode against `FC.Signage.Web` player routes.
+- Restart the kiosk on HDMI hotplug.
+- Renew mTLS certificates daily when fewer than 30 days remain.
+- Detect display capabilities at boot, daily, and on HDMI hotplug.
+
+Phase 2 native Avalonia rendering is documented separately in Notes and remains
+deferred.

+                       (female variant 3) work directly.

+                       whitespace-split words by accumulated phoneme duration.
+                       Read-along clients pair this with /tts for synced
+                       playback.
+* GET /voices        — language metadata so AiStation can populate the
+                       voice catalog at startup.
+* GET /health        — fast readiness check.
+
+Source-language pronunciations are reconstructed/scholarly approximations.
+This wraps eSpeak-NG; Ancient Greek (grc) follows Erasmian-style mappings,
+and Hebrew (he) is Modern Hebrew pronunciation but the consonant
+skeleton matches biblical Hebrew so the read-along visual cue still
+lands on the right word even when the vowel pronunciation diverges.

+
+Wraps SYSTRAN/faster-whisper (https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper) in a
+small FastAPI app exposing two endpoints:
+
+* POST /align       — fc-align contract used by FlowerCore.Shared.Speech's
+                       FasterWhisperAlignmentClient on master. Multipart form
+                       (`audio`, `language`) returns
+                       `{text, words: [{word, startSeconds, endSeconds, confidence}],
+                         durationMs, language}`.
+* POST /transcribe  — audio-file-in transcription used by the new TtsReader
+                       audio-import feature. Multipart form (`audio`, optional
+                       `language`) returns `{text, language, durationMs,
+                       segments: [{startSeconds, endSeconds, text}]}` so the
+                       UI can preview the transcript before piping it into
+                       Quick Read or saving as a project.
+
+Both endpoints share the same WhisperModel instance (loaded once at startup).
+Model is pinned by the WHISPER_MODEL env var (defaults to base.en) and cached
+under WHISPER_CACHE_DIR (defaults to /models, backed by a PVC in K8s).

+# fc-updater — Update Center GitOps adoption
+
+**Status:** adopted into `bluejay-infra` on 2026-05-06. The live ArgoCD
+Application is `infra-fc-updater`, generated by the `bluejay-infra`
+ApplicationSet with automated sync, `prune: true`, and `selfHeal: true`.
+
+## Managed manifest set
+
+`apps/fc-updater/fc-updater.yaml` manages:
+
+- `Namespace/fc-updater`
+- `PersistentVolumeClaim/updatecenter-data`
+- `Deployment/updatecenter-web`
+- `Service/updatecenter-web`
+- `Certificate/updatecenter-web-tls`
+- `Certificate/updatecenter-web-internal-tls`
+- `IngressRoute/updatecenter-web`
+- `IngressRoute/updatecenter-web-internal`
+- `IngressRoute/updatecenter-web-public`
+
+The Deployment intentionally sets `revisionHistoryLimit: 3` and
+`strategy.type: Recreate`. The service is singleton + SQLite/local bundle
+storage on `PersistentVolumeClaim/updatecenter-data`, pinned to
+`rke2-server`.
+
+## Runtime dependencies intentionally not stored here
+
+These live Secrets are pre-existing runtime material and are not committed to
+Git:
+
+- `updater-bootstrap-auth`
+- `updater-signing`
+- `updater-webhooks`
+- `cf-origin-flowercore-io`
+
+Rotate the Cloudflare Origin Certificate through
+`FlowerCore.Notes/docs/standards/code-signing-rotation-runbook.md`; the
+shared origin cert must exist in every namespace that serves a
+`*.flowercore.io` public IngressRoute.

+# GitHub Runner Fleet
+
+ArgoCD owns `apps/github-runner/github-runner.yaml`. Do not patch live runner
+Deployments with `kubectl`; update this manifest and let ArgoCD reconcile.
+
+## Runner Shape
+
+All repo-scoped Linux runners use:
+
+- `ACCESS_TOKEN` from the `github-runner-token` Secret
+- `RUN_AS_ROOT=false`
+- `EPHEMERAL=true`
+- `LABELS=self-hosted,linux,fc-build-linux`
+- writable non-root paths under `/home/runner` for .NET, NuGet, XDG cache, and
+  Actions tool cache
+
+`github-runner` for `FlowerCore.Common` is single-replica because it retains the
+original Longhorn ReadWriteOnce NuGet PVC. Every other repo-scoped runner uses
+two replicas with per-pod `emptyDir` caches. That is the safe backlog-drain
+strategy: no two pods share one RWO PVC.
+
+Sprint 32 final long-tail wave adds 16 two-replica Deployments:
+`FlowerCore.Knowledge`, `FlowerCore.LlmBridge`, `FlowerCore.Media`,
+`FlowerCore.Presentations`, `FlowerCore.RemoteDesktop`, `FlowerCore.DNS`,
+`FlowerCore.Distribution`, `FlowerCore.Scoreboard`,
+`FlowerCore.SegmentDisplay`, `FlowerCore.Signage.Contracts`,
+`FlowerCore.SignalControl`, `FlowerCore.Intranet.Web`,
+`FlowerCore.Provisioning`, `FlowerCore.Redis`, `FlowerCore.MessageBoard`, and
+`FlowerCore.MenuBoard`.
+
+## Post-Merge Proof
+
+After the PR is merged and ArgoCD syncs, verify the runner fleet:
+
+```bash
+kubectl -n github-runner get deploy,pods,pvc
+```
+
+Verify GitHub registration for the repo-scoped runners:
+
+```bash
+for repo in FlowerCore.Common FlowerCore.Shared.Pos FlowerCore.Puppet FlowerCore.Signage \
+            FlowerCore.DMS FlowerCore.Telephony FlowerCore.Print.Web FlowerCore.Chat \
+            FlowerCore.MySQL FlowerCore.Kiosk.Linux FlowerCore.Marquee FlowerCore.TtsReader \
+            FlowerCore.Knowledge FlowerCore.LlmBridge FlowerCore.Media \
+            FlowerCore.Presentations FlowerCore.RemoteDesktop FlowerCore.DNS \
+            FlowerCore.Distribution FlowerCore.Scoreboard FlowerCore.SegmentDisplay \
+            FlowerCore.Signage.Contracts FlowerCore.SignalControl FlowerCore.Intranet.Web \
+            FlowerCore.Provisioning FlowerCore.Redis FlowerCore.MessageBoard \
+            FlowerCore.MenuBoard; do
+  echo "=== $repo ==="
+  gh api "/repos/astoltz/$repo/actions/runners" \
+    --jq '.runners[] | select(.labels[].name == "fc-build-linux") | {name,status,busy,labels:[.labels[].name]}'
+done
+```
+
+Shared.Pos publish proof after the runner pod is online:
+
+```bash
+gh run list --repo astoltz/FlowerCore.Shared.Pos \
+  --workflow "Build, Test & Publish" --branch main --limit 5
+```
+
+If the latest run is still queued after runner registration, rerun the workflow
+from GitHub Actions and verify it lands on an `rke2-linux-*` runner.
+
+## Failure Notes
+
+- `actions/setup-dotnet` permission error at `/usr/share/dotnet`: check that
+  `DOTNET_INSTALL_DIR=/home/runner/.dotnet` and related cache env vars are
+  present on the runner pod.
+- `404` during runner registration: the fine-grained PAT is valid but missing
+  repository access for that repo. Add the repo to the PAT access list; the PAT
+  value does not change.
+- `Multi-Attach` volume error: only the Common runner uses a RWO PVC and it must
+  stay single-replica. New multi-replica runners use `emptyDir`.

+# knowledge — FlowerCore.Knowledge.Web (Phase 2.4 K8s deploy)
+
+**Status:** **LIVE 2026-04-27** at `https://knowledge.iamworkin.lan` —
+Phase 2.4 closed. Pod running, certificate issued (step-ca-acme), PVC
+bound (Longhorn 20Gi RWO), ArgoCD `infra-knowledge` synced. `/healthz`
+returns 200, `/api/v1/editions` returns `[]` (initial-deploy state — no
+*.db files in the PVC yet; Phase 2.5+ admin UI handles bulk
+population). Phase 1 of the Agent Zero MCP rollout keeps `/healthz`
+anonymous and gates `/mcp` behind `Authorization: Bearer <token>` built
+from the 1Password item `FlowerCore Knowledge MCP Tokens`.
+
+- Plan: [`../../../FlowerCore.Notes/docs/ai-agents/flowercore-knowledge-service-plan.md`](../../../FlowerCore.Notes/docs/ai-agents/flowercore-knowledge-service-plan.md)
+- Sprint: [`../../../FlowerCore.Notes/docs/ai-station/sprint-e-xxl-plan.md`](../../../FlowerCore.Notes/docs/ai-station/sprint-e-xxl-plan.md) (Track B)
+- Repo: `D:\git\FlowerCore\FlowerCore.Knowledge\` (private GitHub repo,
+  bootstrapped Sprint D batch 35)
+
+`FlowerCore.Knowledge.Web` is the fleet-wide vector-indexing & RAG hub —
+a REST + MCP service that scans `*.db` files under
+`/data/vector-stores` and exposes per-edition reachability + corpus
+search to the rest of the FC ecosystem (Agent Zero, Chat.Web persona
+memory, AiStation embeddings explorer, TtsReader chapter context, BMO
+bot, Pi nodes via `fc-index sync`).
+
+Phase 1 MCP routing is explicit:
+
+- in-cluster Agent Zero → `http://knowledge-web.knowledge.svc/mcp`
+- workstation Agent Zero → `https://knowledge.iamworkin.lan/mcp`
+- probe URL for both lanes → `/healthz`
+
+## Deployment order (do NOT skip / reorder)
+
+### 1. FlowerCore.DNS public A record — knowledge.iamworkin.lan -> 10.0.56.200
+
+Required BEFORE the Certificate resource is created, or cert-manager
+HTTP-01 silently backs off ~2h. Memory: `feedback_pfsense_dns_required_for_acme`.
+
+The canonical path is FlowerCore.DNS:
+
+```bash
+curl -sk https://dns.iamworkin.lan/api/v1/servers
+# Find the pfSense serverId, then create the record using the host label only.
+
+curl -sk -X POST https://dns.iamworkin.lan/api/v1/servers/<serverId>/zones/iamworkin.lan/records \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name":"knowledge","type":"A","data":"10.0.56.200","ttl":300}'
+```
+
+If FlowerCore.DNS provider writes are failing 502 with "pfSense
+diag_command.php response did not contain a `<pre>` block" (status as of
+Sprint E Track B authoring 2026-04-27), add the override manually via
+the pfSense web UI:
+
+1. Log in to `https://10.0.56.1` as admin
+2. Services → DNS Resolver → General Settings → Host Overrides
+3. Add: Host=`knowledge`, Domain=`iamworkin.lan`, IP Address=`10.0.56.200`
+4. Save + Apply Changes
+
+Verify resolution from anywhere on LAN:
+
+```bash
+nslookup knowledge.iamworkin.lan 10.0.56.1
+# Expect: 10.0.56.200
+```
+
+Or against FlowerCore.DNS once the provider is fixed:
+
+```bash
+curl -sk "https://dns.iamworkin.lan/api/v1/zones/iamworkin.lan/resolve-preflight?hostname=knowledge.iamworkin.lan"
+# Expect: "resolvable": true
+```
+
+### 2. Build + import the image to ALL RKE2 nodes
+
+Pods may schedule on any RKE2 worker (server, agent1, agent2). The
+Longhorn PVC accepts mounts from any node, so the image must be
+imported to all three. Memory:
+`feedback_rke2_image_import_targets_all_nodes` +
+`feedback_rke2_localhost_imagepullpolicy`.
+
+```bash
+# From BLUEJAY-WS, in D:\git\FlowerCore\FlowerCore.Knowledge
+TAG="v$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)"
+dotnet.exe publish -c Release -o deploy/app \
+  src/FlowerCore.Knowledge.Web/FlowerCore.Knowledge.Web.csproj
+podman build -t localhost/fc-knowledge-web:$TAG -f deploy/Dockerfile.deploy deploy
+podman save localhost/fc-knowledge-web:$TAG -o /tmp/fc-knowledge-web.tar
+
+# Import to all three RKE2 nodes
+for node in rke2-server rke2-agent1 rke2-agent2; do
+  scp /tmp/fc-knowledge-web.tar $node:/tmp/
+  ssh $node "sudo /var/lib/rancher/rke2/bin/ctr -a /run/k3s/containerd/containerd.sock -n k8s.io images import /tmp/fc-knowledge-web.tar"
+done
+```
+
+The repo's `scripts/deploy-knowledge.sh` automates this loop.
+
+### 3. Bump the image tag + push
+
+Edit `knowledge.yaml`, replace `localhost/fc-knowledge-web:v202604272200`
+with the tag from step 2, then:
+
+```bash
+cd D:/git/FlowerCore/bluejay-infra
+python scripts/check-pfsense-dns.py     # confirms the DNS preflight
+git add apps/knowledge/
+git commit -m "feat(knowledge): deploy Phase 2.4 K8s manifest"
+git push
+```
+
+ArgoCD picks up within ~3 minutes and creates `infra-knowledge`.
+
+### 4. Verify
+
+```bash
+fcadmin_ssh noc1 '
+  kubectl -n argocd get application infra-knowledge
+  kubectl -n knowledge get certificate,pod,pvc
+  curl -sk -m 8 -o /dev/null -w "HTTP %{http_code}\n" https://knowledge.iamworkin.lan/healthz
+  curl -sk -m 8 https://knowledge.iamworkin.lan/api/v1/editions | jq
+'
+```
+
+Expect: Certificate `Ready: True` within ~60s, `/healthz` HTTP 200,
+`/api/v1/editions` returns an empty array (no DBs in the PVC yet) on
+first deploy.
+
+## Initial-deploy state and Phase 2.5 follow-up
+
+The Longhorn PVC is empty on first deploy. Knowledge.Web's filesystem
+catalog will report zero editions until vector-store `*.db` files are
+pushed into `/data/vector-stores`. Initial population is a follow-up
+step (Phase 2.5+, Blazor admin UI's "Rebuild" button); for the first
+deploy the goal is just to prove the pod boots, `/healthz` returns 200,
+and the Traefik IngressRoute serves the Scalar UI.
+
+To copy an existing local DB into the PVC (one-time, manual until
+Phase 2.5 admin UI lands):
+
+```bash
+fcadmin_ssh noc1 '
+  POD=$(kubectl -n knowledge get pod -l app=knowledge-web -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
+  kubectl -n knowledge cp /var/lib/flowercore/vector-stores/bluejay-ai.db $POD:/data/vector-stores/bluejay-ai.db
+'
+```

+- `/healthz` is mapped by `Controllers/HealthController.cs` (controller-based
+  attribute route). Cheap — no DB, no dependencies.
+- Liveness uses `tcpSocket` as a defensive fallback in case future
+  middleware accidentally gates `/healthz` behind auth (memory:
+  `feedback_k8s_probes_behind_auth_middleware`).
+- `/openapi/v1.json` and `/scalar/v1` are wired by `UseFlowerCoreApi`.
+  Per memory `feedback_k8s_probes_must_not_hit_openapi`, probes must NOT
+  point at OpenAPI documents — the `MapOpenApi` call can be slow during
+  cold startup.
+
+## Resource sizing
+
+- 256Mi memory request / 1Gi limit.
+- 100m CPU request / 1000m limit.
+- 20Gi Longhorn PVC initial — sufficient for the bluejay-ai 1.94Gi DB +
+  fleet-pi-edge 352Mi + fleet-bmo-bot 141Mi + headroom. Resize via
+  `kubectl -n knowledge edit pvc knowledge-vector-store` if growing
+  past 15Gi.

+# FlowerCore.Knowledge.Web — fleet vector indexing & RAG hub.

+# Phase 2.4 of the Knowledge service plan. REST + MCP service that scans
+# *.db files under /data/vector-stores and exposes:
+#   - REST: /api/v1/editions, /api/v1/corpus/search, /healthz
+#   - MCP:  list_editions, describe_edition, corpus_search
+#   - Static OpenAPI/Scalar via UseFlowerCoreApi

+#   Plan:    FlowerCore.Notes/docs/ai-agents/flowercore-knowledge-service-plan.md
+#   Sprint:  FlowerCore.Notes/docs/ai-station/sprint-e-xxl-plan.md (Track B)

+#   Shared:  FlowerCore.Common -> FlowerCore.Shared.Indexing (chunkers, vector

+#
+# Deployment order (see apps/knowledge/README.md and the bluejay-infra/README.md
+# top-level checklist):
+#   1. FlowerCore.DNS public A record knowledge.iamworkin.lan -> 10.0.56.200
+#      MUST exist BEFORE the Certificate is created, or cert-manager HTTP-01
+#      backs off ~2h. Memory: feedback_pfsense_dns_required_for_acme.
+#   2. Build + import the image to ALL RKE2 nodes (server + both agents) since
+#      the Pod uses a Longhorn PVC and may schedule anywhere.
+#      Memory: feedback_rke2_localhost_imagepullpolicy.
+#   3. Bump the image tag in this file, git push.
+#   4. ArgoCD ApplicationSet picks up within ~3 minutes and creates
+#      infra-knowledge.
+#
+# Initial-deploy state:
+#   The Longhorn PVC is empty on first deploy. Knowledge.Web's filesystem
+#   catalog will report zero editions until vector-store *.db files are
+#   pushed into /data/vector-stores. Initial population is a follow-up step
+#   (Phase 2.5+, Blazor admin UI's "Rebuild" button); for the first deploy
+#   the goal is just to prove the pod boots, /healthz returns 200, and the
+#   Traefik IngressRoute serves the Scalar UI.

+# NetworkAttachmentDefinition — PROD VLAN 57 bridge
+# =============================================================================
+# Purpose: makes KubeVirt VMs reachable on the PROD VLAN (10.0.57.0/24)
+# alongside the existing pod network. Required for ci1 to bridge onto PROD
+# (e.g. to provision/scrape edge1, edge2, kiosks, Pis on the same L2 segment).
+#
+# **DEPLOY GATE — Phase 1.5 host work required first**:
+#   On every RKE2 node (rke2-server, rke2-agent1, rke2-agent2):
+#     1. Switch port (UniFi USL16LP) trunks VLAN 57 to the node — usually
+#        already true since BLUEJAY-WS reaches 10.0.57.x services. Verify
+#        with `ip link show enp86s0.57` after configuring sub-interface, OR
+#        `tcpdump -ni enp86s0 vlan 57` and ping a known PROD host.
+#     2. Linux bridge `br-prod` enslaving `enp86s0.57` (VLAN sub-interface).
+#        NetworkManager profile examples in the runbook below.
+#     3. Verify Multus DaemonSet `kube-multus-ds` is Ready on all nodes.
+#
+# Without those, applying this NAD has no effect except to register the CRD.
+# A VM that requests this NAD with no bridge present will fail with:
+#   `error adding pod kubevirt-vms_ci1 to CNI network "prod-vlan57": failed to
+#    plumb VLAN: open /sys/class/net/br-prod/master: no such file or directory`
+#
+# Configuration notes:
+#   - cniVersion 0.3.1 to match Multus daemon-config.json
+#   - mtu 1500 (matches enp86s0 default; bump if jumbo frames configured)
+#   - bridge name `br-prod` is convention; if Puppet picks a different name
+#     (e.g. `br57`, `br-vlan57`), edit BOTH this NAD and the ci1.yaml
+#     interface block. Keep them in sync.
+#   - vlan: 0 because the host bridge already strips VLAN tag (br-prod sits
+#     on top of `enp86s0.57`). If we instead used a VLAN-aware bridge with
+#     trunk port, set vlan: 57 here. Current convention is VLAN-stripped at
+#     the sub-interface, so the bridge passes untagged frames.
+#
+# Apply:
+#   kubectl --kubeconfig $env:USERPROFILE\.kube\rke2.yaml apply -f apps/kubevirt-vms/prod-vlan57-nad.yaml
+#

+# Windows Server 2025 ISO — Static NFS PV (Path B for SATA-CDROM timeout)
+# =============================================================================
+# Purpose: Mount the ISO from Synology NAS via NFS instead of from a Longhorn-
+# backed Filesystem PVC.
+#
+# Why: SATA-CDROM emulation reading from a Longhorn-backed Filesystem PVC is
+# too slow for OVMF's boot read window — the DVD-ROM enumeration times out
+# before the bootloader can be read. Symptom on the serial console:
+#   BdsDxe: failed to start Boot0001 "UEFI QEMU DVD-ROM QM00001 " from ...
+#   BdsDxe: failed to start Boot0001 ... Time out
+#   BdsDxe: No bootable option or device was found
+# Diagnosis confirmed the ISO content is a perfectly valid bootable ISO9660
+# image — the bug is in the timing path between OVMF and Longhorn-backed
+# storage, not in the ISO itself.
+#
+# Block-mode PVC was tried (`volumeMode: Block` via DataVolume) and would
+# likely fix the timing, but CDI v1.65.0's upload-target pod cannot open the
+# block device due to runAsUser:107 + capabilities.drop:[ALL] and we got:
+#   blockdev: cannot open /dev/cdi-block-volume: Permission denied
+#
+# NFS-mounted ISO bypasses both issues: no Longhorn slowness, no CDI upload
+# pod permission concerns. The ISO is read directly from the NAS over a
+# native NFSv4.1 mount that QEMU's SATA emulator can read at full LAN speed.

+#   /volume1/ISOs/                                              (existing export, RKE2 ACL)

+#       disk.img -> hardlink to ../en-us_windows_server_2025_..._8e06425a.iso
+#
+# KubeVirt's launcher pod expects a PVC mounted at
+# /var/run/kubevirt-private/vmi-disks/<diskName>/disk.img — by mounting the
+# `win2025-iso-disk/` subdir as the NFS PV root, `disk.img` lives at the PV's
+# root and KubeVirt's CDROM emulator finds it without any path manipulation.
+#
+# A symlink would NOT work for sub-path NFS mounts (the relative target
+# `../...iso` falls outside the sub-mount root). A hardlink works because it
+# references the same inode regardless of mount point.
+#
+# Memory references:
+#   - feedback_synology_nfs_volume1_kubernetes_export_scoped (Synology export
+#     scoping pattern — but /volume1/ISOs export, unlike /volume1/kubernetes,
+#     does support sub-path mounts because Synology NFS is configured with
+#     pseudo-fs in NFSv4.1)
+#   - feedback_kubevirt_iso_first_install_bootorder_and_runstrategy (boot
+#     order / runStrategy gotchas, separate from the storage timing issue)
+#
+# Validation (2026-05-08, from rke2-server / rke2-agent1 / rke2-agent2):
+#   mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=4.1,ro 10.0.58.3:/volume1/ISOs/win2025-iso-disk /tmp/m
+#   file /tmp/m/disk.img
+#     -> ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'SSS_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9' (bootable)
+# All 3 RKE2 nodes can mount and read.

+# =============================================================================
+# Multus CNI — Meta-CNI for multi-network attachment to pods/VMs
+# =============================================================================
+# Purpose: enable KubeVirt VMs (and any future workload) to attach additional
+# network interfaces beyond the default Calico-managed pod network. Required
+# for ci1 (Windows Server 2025 KubeVirt VM) to bridge onto PROD VLAN 57.
+#
+# Source: upstream k8snetworkplumbingwg/multus-cni v4.2.2
+#   https://github.com/k8snetworkplumbingwg/multus-cni/blob/v4.2.2/deployments/multus-daemonset-thick.yml
+#
+# Inlined verbatim (with project header + version pin annotation) for
+# reproducibility and air-gap safety. Bumping versions = edit this file +
+# git push. ArgoCD picks up via the bluejay-infra ApplicationSet
+# (apps/* directory generator on main).
+#
+# Why thick plugin (not thin):
+#   - Thick = daemon + thin shim binary; daemon handles NAD watch + CRD reads
+#     centrally so each pod's CNI ADD doesn't hit the K8s API server. Better
+#     for clusters with many NAD-using pods.
+#   - Thin = each CNI ADD process directly contacts K8s API. Simpler but
+#     scales worse and has more failure modes.
+#   - KubeVirt + multi-VM workload pattern fits thick perfectly.
+#
+# Cluster context (verified 2026-05-08):
+#   - RKE2 v1.34.5 on 3 nodes (rke2-server, rke2-agent1, rke2-agent2)
+#   - Calico CNI (Tigera-managed) at /etc/cni/net.d + /opt/cni/bin (default)
+#   - openSUSE Leap 16, kernel 6.12, containerd 2.1.5
+#   - host bridge for PROD VLAN 57 = `br-prod` (PUPPET HOST WORK — see Phase 1.5
+#     in docs/infrastructure/windows-server-build-runner-plan.md)
+#
+# Version pin: snapshot-thick → pinning to v4.2.2 release tag at deploy time
+# would require a private mirror of the image. Upstream `snapshot-thick` tag
+# is updated on every release, so for now we trust upstream + Calico's
+# established pattern. Pin to a specific SHA256 once we mirror to Gitea OCI.
+#
+# Apply (once committed to bluejay-infra main, ApplicationSet auto-syncs):
+#   git add apps/multus/multus.yaml && git commit && git push origin main
+#   # ArgoCD `infra-multus` Application appears within 3 min via ApplicationSet
+#
+# Verify:
+#   kubectl -n kube-system get ds kube-multus-ds
+#   kubectl -n kube-system rollout status ds kube-multus-ds

+# FlowerCore.WorldBuilder
+
+ArgoCD-managed manifest for FlowerCore.WorldBuilder.Web — comic / storyboard
+authoring service that drives ComfyUI for panel image generation and
+QuestPDF for letter / A4 export.
+
+Source: `D:\git\FlowerCore\FlowerCore.WorldBuilder` (master)
+
+## Deployment order
+
+1. **DNS preflight** — `worldbuilder.iamworkin.lan -> 10.0.56.200` MUST exist
+   in pfSense Unbound before this manifest is applied, or cert-manager
+   HTTP-01 silently exponential-backs-off ~2h.
+   Memory: `feedback_pfsense_dns_required_for_acme`.
+2. **Image import to ALL RKE2 nodes** — pod can schedule to any of
+   `rke2-server` (10.0.56.11), `rke2-agent1` (10.0.56.12),
+   `rke2-agent2` (10.0.56.13). Build with:
+   ```bash
+   bash deploy/build.sh   # in FlowerCore.WorldBuilder repo
+   podman save localhost/fc-worldbuilder:v<TAG> -o /tmp/fc-worldbuilder-v<TAG>.tar
+   for h in 10.0.56.11 10.0.56.12 10.0.56.13; do
+     scp /tmp/fc-worldbuilder-v<TAG>.tar fcadmin@$h:/tmp/
+     ssh fcadmin@$h \
+       "sudo /var/lib/rancher/rke2/bin/ctr -a /run/k3s/containerd/containerd.sock \
+         -n k8s.io images import /tmp/fc-worldbuilder-v<TAG>.tar"
+   done
+   ```
+   Memory: `feedback_rke2_image_import_per_node_scp`.
+3. **Bump image tag** in `worldbuilder.yaml` and git push.
+   ArgoCD ApplicationSet picks up within ~3 minutes.
+4. **First production render** — open
+   `https://worldbuilder.iamworkin.lan/studio/c32e0000-0000-4000-8000-000000000004`
+   and confirm the Cyberpunk Blue Jay demo prompt loads with five seeded fake
+   generated images. This Sprint 32 visitor-safe profile uses
+   `ClientMode=fake`; switch the image-generation env vars back to ComfyUI only
+   for an operator-owned GPU render lane.
+
+## Health probes
+
+- `startupProbe` + `readinessProbe`: `httpGet /healthz` (registered explicitly
+  in Program.cs — anonymous, no DB or OpenAPI dependency).
+- `livenessProbe`: `tcpSocket` as a cheap fallback.
+  Memory: `feedback_k8s_probes_must_not_hit_openapi`,
+  `feedback_k8s_probes_behind_auth_middleware`.
+
+## Storage
+
+- Longhorn RWO PVC `worldbuilder-data` (5Gi) mounted at `/data`. SQLite DB
+  lives at `/data/worldbuilder.db`, generated images under `/data/gallery/`,
+  PDF/PNG exports under `/data/exports/`.
+- DataProtection keys persist to the same SQLite via
+  `AddFlowerCoreDataProtection<WorldBuilderDbContext>` — explicit migration
+  `20260429133417_Initial` already creates `fc_dp_keys`.
+  Memory: `feedback_dataprotection_keys_persist_to_app_dbcontext`,
+  `feedback_intranet_dataprotection_table_must_have_explicit_migration`.
+
+## Image generation backend
+
+Sprint 32 pins the Kubernetes profile to
+`FlowerCore:WorldBuilder:ImageGeneration:ClientMode=fake` with
+`BaseUrl=http://127.0.0.1:1`. That keeps the public/internal visitor demo
+deterministic, avoids GPU exposure, and still exercises the studio/gallery
+surface with persisted generated-image metadata.
+
+The previous ComfyUI backend target was `http://10.0.56.20:8188` on
+BLUEJAY-WS (R9700 / gfx1201 / ROCm 7.2.1). Re-enable it only in an
+operator-owned follow-up that also verifies workstation reachability and image
+import freshness.

+# openvoxserver Quadlet Durability
+
+This runbook documents the noc1 `openvoxserver` durability fix for the Puppet control-repo deploy path. The service is a noc1 host artifact, not an ArgoCD application, so discovery always starts on noc1 rather than in `apps/*`.
+
+## Current State
+
+As of the Sprint 32 Cx-12 apply on 2026-05-17:
+
+- `/etc/containers/systemd/openvoxserver.container` has a `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` environment entry that points at the persisted serverdata deploy key.
+- `/etc/systemd/system/openvoxserver-safeconfig.service` is enabled and active, and reapplies `git config --global --add safe.directory *` inside the running container.
+- `/opt/puppet/r10k-deploy.sh` self-heals before each fetch by setting `safe.directory`, the repo-local `core.sshCommand`, and the persisted `known_hosts` file when needed.
+- `puppet-deploy.service` exits `0/SUCCESS` after the apply and the control repo reports `HEAD == origin/master`.
+- `systemctl cat openvoxserver` does not currently resolve to a generated unit on noc1. The container is running through Podman with `restart=always`, so destructive recreate smoke must not run until the generated unit is present.
+
+## Discovery
+
+Run every command through noc1 as `fcadmin`; do not assume BLUEJAY-WS can reach container-local surfaces directly.
+
+```bash
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/fcadmin_ed25519 fcadmin@10.0.56.10 "hostname && sudo -n true"

+```
+
+If a future noc1 profile manages these files, update the Puppet control repo and let `puppet-deploy.service` apply the change. On 2026-05-17, host `puppet` was not installed, so Cx-12 used a direct noc1 host edit.
+
+## Durable Fix Shape
+
+The Quadlet keeps the deploy key as a path reference only:
+
+```ini
+Environment=GIT_SSH_COMMAND=ssh -i /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver/.puppet-deploy-key -o StrictHostKeyChecking=yes -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -o UserKnownHostsFile=/opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver/.known_hosts
+```
+
+The safeconfig service is intentionally independent of `openvoxserver.service` until the generated unit exists. It waits for the `openvoxserver` container name and then runs:
+
+```bash
+/usr/bin/podman exec openvoxserver git config --global --add safe.directory *
+```
+
+The deploy script self-heals inside the container before it fetches the control repo:
+
+```bash
+git config --global --add safe.directory "*" 2>/dev/null || true
+DEPLOY_KEY="/opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver/.puppet-deploy-key"
+KNOWN_HOSTS="/opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver/.known_hosts"
+REPO="/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production"
+export GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i $DEPLOY_KEY -o StrictHostKeyChecking=yes -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -o UserKnownHostsFile=$KNOWN_HOSTS"
+git -C "$REPO" config core.sshCommand "$GIT_SSH_COMMAND" 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+## Validation
+
+Non-destructive validation:
+
+```bash
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/fcadmin_ed25519 fcadmin@10.0.56.10 "sudo grep -n 'GIT_SSH_COMMAND' /etc/containers/systemd/openvoxserver.container"
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/fcadmin_ed25519 fcadmin@10.0.56.10 "sudo systemctl status openvoxserver-safeconfig.service --no-pager -l"
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/fcadmin_ed25519 fcadmin@10.0.56.10 "sudo systemctl start puppet-deploy.service && sudo systemctl status puppet-deploy.service --no-pager -l"
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/fcadmin_ed25519 fcadmin@10.0.56.10 "sudo podman exec openvoxserver git -C /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production config --get core.sshCommand"
+```
+
+Destructive recreate smoke is opt-in only:
+
+```bash
+scp scripts/monitoring/openvox-recreate-smoke.sh fcadmin@10.0.56.10:/tmp/openvox-recreate-smoke.sh
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/fcadmin_ed25519 fcadmin@10.0.56.10 "chmod +x /tmp/openvox-recreate-smoke.sh && sudo OPENVOX_RECREATE_SMOKE=1 /tmp/openvox-recreate-smoke.sh"
+```
+
+Do not run the smoke during normal sprint work. It stops and removes the production container before starting it again through systemd, and it now refuses to continue unless `systemctl cat openvoxserver` succeeds.
+
+## Credential Rotation Note
+
+When rotating the Puppet deploy key, update the persisted serverdata copy on noc1:
+
+```bash
+sudo install -m 0600 -o root -g root <new-deploy-key> /opt/puppet/serverdata/.puppet-deploy-key
+sudo podman exec openvoxserver sh -c "ssh-keyscan github.com > /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver/.known_hosts"
+sudo systemctl start openvoxserver-safeconfig.service
+sudo systemctl start puppet-deploy.service
+```
+
+Never commit the deploy key or print it in logs.
