feat(monitoring): mirror Update Center Operations dashboard (Track 1D)

Adds fc-updatecenter-dashboard.json (uid: fc-updatecenter, version: 2)
to apps/monitoring/ — mirrors the dashboard deployed to noc1 at
/opt/monitoring/grafana/dashboards/fc-updatecenter-dashboard.json.

13 panels: 5 existing probe/availability panels + 1 OTEL row header
+ 7 new panels for the 6 OTEL counters added to FlowerCore.Updater.Web:

  updatecenter_manifest_requests_total
  updatecenter_bundle_download_bytes_total
  updatecenter_bundle_downloads_total
  updatecenter_checkins_total
  updatecenter_release_publishes_total
  updatecenter_signature_verify_failures_total

 - **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`.
