fix(litellm): add memory and CPU resource limits to prevent OOMKilled

Litellm pod was being killed by the kernel OOM killer (7 restarts, last
termination reason: OOMKilled). Added explicit resource requests (512Mi/250m)
and limits (2Gi/1000m) to ensure the container gets bounded memory.

+# AGENTS.md - Guide for Coding Agents
+
+This file provides essential information for AI coding agents working with this Kubernetes cluster project.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This repository contains Kubernetes manifests for a K3s cluster running self-hosted services on the `rogi.casa` domain. The cluster is managed via **GitOps using ArgoCD** - all changes to the cluster are deployed automatically from this Git repository.
+
+**⚠️ CRITICAL: Permission Model**
+
+You **DO NOT** have permission to push changes to this repository. Before applying any changes to the cluster:
+1. Make the necessary code changes to the manifests
+2. Clearly present the changes to the user
+3. Ask the user to review and push the changes
+4. Wait for confirmation that changes have been pushed
+5. Only then will ArgoCD automatically deploy the changes to the cluster
+
+## Architecture & GitOps Workflow
+
+### ArgoCD App-of-Apps Pattern
+
+This project uses ArgoCD's "app-of-apps" pattern:
+
+```
+argocd-bootstrap.yaml (root Application)
+    ↓
+argocd/apps/ (directory containing all Application manifests)
+    ↓
+Individual Applications (one per service directory)
+    ↓
+Kubernetes manifests in each service directory (e.g., pihole/, homeassistant/)
+```
+
+### Deployment Flow
+
+1. You make changes to Kubernetes manifests in the repository
+2. User reviews and pushes changes to the `main` branch
+3. ArgoCD detects changes (automatically or on sync)
+4. ArgoCD applies changes to the cluster with `prune: true` and `selfHeal: true`
+5. Cluster state converges to match the Git state
+
+### Key Files
+
+- **`argocd-bootstrap.yaml`**: The root Application that bootstraps ArgoCD. Points to `argocd/apps/` directory. This is the only file that needs manual `kubectl apply` during initial setup.
+- **`argocd/apps/project.yaml`**: ArgoCD AppProject defining permissions for all applications
+- **`argocd/apps/*.yaml`**: Individual ArgoCD Application manifests (one per service)
+- **`argocd/gen-apps.sh`**: Script to regenerate all ArgoCD manifests from the `APPS` array
+

+
+## How to Make Changes
+
+### Adding a New Service
+
+1. Create a new directory: `mkdir new-service`
+2. Create Kubernetes manifests in `new-service/`:
+   - `namespace.yaml` (if dedicated namespace needed)
+   - `deployment.yaml` or `statefulset.yaml`
+   - `service.yaml`
+   - `ingress.yaml`
+   - Any ConfigMaps, Secrets, PVCs needed
+3. Add the service to `argocd/gen-apps.sh`:
+   - Add a line to the `APPS` array: `"new-service|namespace|new-service|true|true"`
+   - Format: `name|namespace|path|recurse|validate`
+4. Run `./argocd/gen-apps.sh` to regenerate ArgoCD manifests
+5. **Present changes to user for review and push**
+
+### Modifying an Existing Service
+
+1. Edit the relevant manifest(s) in the service directory
+2. If changing ArgoCD configuration, also update `argocd/gen-apps.sh` and regenerate
+3. **Present changes to user for review and push**
+
+### Removing a Service
+
+1. Remove the service directory: `rm -rf service-name/`
+2. Remove from `APPS` array in `argocd/gen-apps.sh`
+3. Run `./argocd/gen-apps.sh` to regenerate
+4. **Present changes to user for review and push**
+5. ArgoCD will automatically prune the resources from the cluster
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Ingress Configuration
+
+Each service has its own `ingress.yaml` with:
+- `ingressClassName: traefik` (K3s default)
+- TLS configured with `cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod`
+- Host-based routing (e.g., `pihole.rogi.casa`)
+
+Example:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: Ingress
+metadata:
+  name: pihole
+  namespace: pihole
+  annotations:
+    cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
+spec:
+  ingressClassName: traefik
+  tls:
+  - hosts:
+    - pihole.rogi.casa
+    secretName: pihole-tls
+  rules:
+  - host: pihole.rogi.casa
+    http:
+      paths:
+        - path: /
+          pathType: Prefix
+          backend:
+            service:
+              name: pihole-web
+              port:
+                number: 80
+```
+
+### Resource Management
+
+- Each service typically has its own namespace
+- Use ResourceRequests and Limits for all containers
+- PVCs for persistent data
+- ConfigMaps for configuration files
+
+## Important Notes
+
+### What You CAN Do
+
+- Read and understand all manifests
+- Create new manifest files
+- Modify existing manifest files
+- Run `./argocd/gen-apps.sh` to regenerate ArgoCD manifests
+- Explain how the cluster works
+- Troubleshoot issues by reading manifests
+
+### What You CANNOT Do
+
+- Push changes to the Git repository (no push permissions)
+- Directly apply manifests with `kubectl apply` (unless explicitly asked)
+- Access the Kubernetes cluster directly (unless explicitly configured)
+- Create secrets that should remain private (those are managed manually)
+
+### Secrets Management
+
+Secrets are generally **not committed to the repository**. They must be created manually in the cluster:
+```bash
+kubectl create secret docker-registry gitea-registry \
+  --docker-server=gitea.rogi.casa \
+  --docker-username=<user> \
+  --docker-password=<token> \
+  -n <namespace>
+```
+
+## Workflow Summary
+
+When asked to make changes:
+
+1. **Understand** the current state by reading relevant files
+2. **Modify** the manifests (create/edit files)
+3. **Regenerate** ArgoCD manifests if needed (`./argocd/gen-apps.sh`)
+4. **Present** the changes clearly to the user:
+   ```
+   I've made the following changes:
+   - Modified pihole/deployment.yaml to update image version
+   - Regenerated argocd/apps/pihole.yaml
+   
+   Please review and push these changes to deploy them.
+   ```
+5. **Wait** for user confirmation that changes are pushed
+6. **Verify** (if possible) that ArgoCD has synced the changes
+
+## Useful Commands (for reference)
+
+```bash
+# Regenerate ArgoCD manifests after modifying gen-apps.sh
+./argocd/gen-apps.sh
+
+# Check ArgoCD applications status (requires kubectl access)
+kubectl get applications -n argocd
+
+# View logs of a pod (requires kubectl access)
+kubectl logs -n <namespace> <pod-name>
+
+# Check ingress status (requires kubectl access)
+kubectl get ingress -n <namespace>
+```
+
+## Questions?
+
+If you're unsure about anything:
+1. Read the comprehensive `README.md` in the repository root
+2. Check existing service directories for examples
+3. Ask the user for clarification before making changes
+4. Remember: **never push without explicit user review and approval**

+# Dashboard Ideas
+
+This file collects ideas for additional Grafana dashboards to build for the
+`rogi.casa` k3s cluster. Each idea notes the **data source** (metrics already
+available vs. metrics that need to be enabled) and a rough panel layout.
+
+To actually add a dashboard, create a `grafana-dashboard-<name>.yaml` ConfigMap
+in this folder, mount it in `grafana-deployment.yaml` (add a volume +
+volumeMount under `/var/lib/grafana/dashboards/<name>`), commit and push.
+
+---
+
+## Already-scraped services (ready to dashboard now)
+
+These exporters/services are **already being scraped by Prometheus** — dashboards
+can be built immediately with no infra changes.
+
+### 1. Traefik (Ingress) — `traefik_*`
+Traefik is scraped via the `kubernetes-pods` job (pod annotation on
+`traefik-9bcdbbd9-x8zq4` in `kube-system`). It exposes request counters, entry
+point latency, TLS handshakes, config reloads.
+
+**Panels:**
+- Requests/sec by entrypoint (web / websecure / traefik) — `rate(traefik_entrypoint_requests_total[5m])`
+- Request latency p50/p95/p99 — `histogram_quantile(0.95, sum(rate(traefik_entrypoint_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m])) by (le, entrypoint))`
+- HTTP status code distribution (2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx) — `rate(traefik_entrypoint_requests_total{code=~"2xx|3xx|4xx|5xx"}[5m])`
+- TLS handshakes/sec — `rate(traefik_entrypoint_requests_tls_total[5m])`
+- Config reloads + last reload success — `traefik_config_reloads_total`, `traefik_config_last_reload_success`
+- Top routes/services by request volume — `topk(10, sum by (service) (rate(traefik_service_requests_total[5m])))`
+- Bytes transferred in/out — `rate(traefik_entrypoint_requests_bytes_total[5m])`
+
+**Why useful:** This is your front door. Knowing which routes get hit most,
+latency per ingress, and 5xx spikes is the single most valuable app-level
+dashboard in the cluster.
+
+---
+
+### 2. CoreDNS (cluster DNS) — `coredns_*`
+Scraped via `kube-dns` Service annotation. Exposes query rate, cache hits,
+error types, response duration.
+
+**Panels:**
+- DNS queries/sec by zone / type — `rate(coredns_dns_requests_total[5m])`
+- Cache hit ratio — `rate(coredns_cache_hits_total[5m]) / rate(coredns_cache_requests_total[5m])`
+- DNS query latency p95 — `histogram_quantile(0.95, sum(rate(coredns_dns_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m])) by (le))`
+- Queries by response code (NOERROR / NXDOMAIN / SERVFAIL) — `rate(coredns_dns_responses_total[5m])`
+- Cache size — `coredns_cache_entries`
+- Forward requests/sec (upstream DNS) — `rate(coredns_forward_requests_total[5m])`
+
+**Why useful:** DNS issues cause cascading failures (ImagePullBackOff, cert
+challenges, etc.). A spike in NXDOMAIN/SERVFAIL is an early warning.
+
+---
+
+### 3. MetalLB (LoadBalancer) — `metallb_*`
+Scraped via pod annotation on `speaker-*` and `controller` in `metallb-system`.
+Exposes IP allocation usage, BGP/session state.
+
+**Panels:**
+- IP addresses in use vs. total — `metallb_allocator_addresses_in_use_total` / `metallb_allocator_addresses_total`
+- IP pool utilization % (gauge) — `metallb_allocator_addresses_in_use_total / metallb_allocator_addresses_total * 100`
+- BGP session up per speaker — `metallb_bgp_session_up`
+- Config loaded / stale status — `metallb_k8s_client_config_loaded_bool`, `metallb_k8s_client_config_stale_bool`
+- Announcements per speaker — `rate(metallb_bgp_announcements_total[5m])`
+
+**Why useful:** If MetalLB runs out of IPs, new LoadBalancer services will
+hang in `<pending>`. Knowing pool utilization lets you act before that happens.
+
+---
+
+### 4. cert-manager (TLS certificates) — `certmanager_*`
+Scraped via pod annotations on cert-manager pods. Exposes certificate
+expiration, renewal, ready status, ACME challenges.
+
+**Panels:**
+- Certificate expiration (days remaining, sorted) — table of `(certmanager_certificate_not_after_timestamp_seconds - time()) / 86400`
+- Certificates not Ready — `certmanager_certificate_ready_status{condition="Ready",status!="True"}`
+- Upcoming renewals (next 14 days) — `certmanager_certificate_renewal_timestamp_seconds`
+- ACME challenge status — `certmanager_certificate_challenge_status`
+- Failed renewals counter — `rate(certmanager_certificate_renewal_total{condition="Failed"}[1h])`
+
+**Why useful:** A cert about to expire (or silently failing to renew) is the
+kind of thing that takes down `*.rogi.casa` HTTPS with no warning. This is a
+must-have alert/dashboard.
+
+---
+
+### 5. Phoenix (trace store) — `phoenix_*`
+Already scraped via the `phoenix` Service annotation. Exposes bulk loader
+ingestion rates, span insertion times, retention sweeper, exceptions.
+
+**Panels:**
+- Span ingestion rate — `rate(phoenix_bulk_loader_span_insertion_time_seconds_count[5m])`
+- Span insertion latency p95 — `histogram_quantile(0.95, sum(rate(phoenix_bulk_loader_span_insertion_time_seconds_bucket[5m])) by (le))`
+- Span exceptions/sec — `rate(phoenix_bulk_loader_span_exceptions_total[5m])`
+- Retention sweeper last run — `phoenix_retention_sweeper_last_run_seconds`
+- Last activity timestamp — `phoenix_bulk_loader_last_activity_timestamp_seconds`
+
+**Why useful:** Phoenix is your observability backend's own backend. Tracking
+ingestion health tells you whether traces are landing.
+
+---
+
+## Infrastructure dashboards (compose from existing metrics)
+
+### 6. Storage & PVC Health (KSM + kubelet + node-exporter)
+Cross-source dashboard combining `kube_persistentvolumeclaim_*` (KSM),
+`kubelet_volume_stats_*` (kubelet), and `node_filesystem_*` (node-exporter).
+
+**Panels:**
+- PVC usage % per claim — `kubelet_volume_stats_used_bytes / kubelet_volume_stats_capacity_bytes * 100`
+- PVC requested vs. capacity — `kube_persistentvolumeclaim_resource_requests_storage_bytes` vs actual
+- Node disk usage % (all mounts) — `(1 - node_filesystem_avail / node_filesystem_size) * 100`
+- Inode usage % per mount — `(1 - node_filesystem_files_free / node_filesystem_files) * 100`
+- Volume binding status (Bound/Pending) — `kube_persistentvolumeclaim_status_phase`
+- Top 10 PVCs by usage (table)
+
+**Why useful:** The `local-path` provisioner fills up node disks. Catching a
+PVC at 95% before it errors is a lifesaver.
+
+---
+
+### 7. Workload Health (KSM)
+Uses kube-state-metrics to show deployment/StatefulSet/CronJob health cluster-wide.
+
+**Panels:**
+- Deployments with unavailable replicas — `kube_deployment_status_replicas_available < kube_deployment_status_replicas`
+- Pods not in Running phase by namespace — `kube_pod_status_phase{phase!="Running"}`
+- Container restarts (last 1h) — `increase(kube_pod_container_status_restarts_total[1h])`
+- Pods stuck in CrashLoopBackOff / ImagePullBackOff — `kube_pod_container_status_waiting_reason{reason=~"CrashLoopBackOff|ImagePullBackOff"}`
+- Job failures — `kube_job_failed`
+- CronJob schedule heatmap — `kube_cronjob_status_active`
+- HPA status (if any autoscaled) — `kube_horizontalpodautoscaler_status_current_replicas` vs desired
+
+**Why useful:** This is the "is anything broken" board. Notice you already have
+some pods in `ImagePullBackOff` (myorg-assistant) — this dashboard surfaces that.
+
+---
+
+### 8. etcd / Control Plane Health (if exposed)
+k3s embeds etcd (or sqlite on single-node). etcd metrics require exposing
+the etcd `/metrics` endpoint (typically `--listen-metrics-urls` on the control
+plane node). **Requires config change to enable.**
+
+**Panels:**
+- Leader changes — `etcd_server_leader_changes_seen_total`
+- Proposal commits/sec — `rate(etcd_server_proposals_committed_total[5m])`
+- Proposal failures/sec — `rate(etcd_server_proposals_failed_total[5m])`
+- DB size — `etcd_mvcc_db_total_size_in_bytes`
+- RPC latency p99 — `histogram_quantile(0.99, sum(rate(etcd_grpc Unary grpc latency bucket[5m])) by (le))`
+- Active watchers — `etcd_debugging_mvcc_watcher_total`
+
+**Why useful:** etcd is the brain of the cluster. Slow commits or a flipping
+leader indicates control-plane trouble.
+
+---
+
+## App-service dashboards (require enabling metrics first)
+
+Most of your apps don't expose `/metrics` yet. Below is the per-service setup
+plus the dashboard idea once metrics are on. To enable scraping for any of
+these, annotate the Service with:
+
+```yaml
+metadata:
+  annotations:
+    prometheus.io/scrape: "true"
+    prometheus.io/port: "<port>"
+```
+
+The existing `kubernetes-service-endpoints` scrape job will pick them up
+automatically — **no Prometheus config edit needed**.
+
+### 9. LiteLLM (LLM gateway) — needs enabling
+LiteLLM exposes Prometheus metrics on its API port (`/metrics`). Annotate the
+`litellm` Service.
+
+**Panels:**
+- Requests/sec by model — `rate(litellm_requests_total[5m])` by `model`
+- Token usage (prompt/completion/total) — `rate(litellm_total_tokens_total[5m])`
+- Spend by model — `litellm_spend_total` (if cost tracking enabled)
+- Latency p95 per model — `histogram_quantile(0.95, ...)`
+- Error rate by model — `rate(litellm_requests_total{status=~"5.."}[5m])`
+- Rate-limit / quota hits
+
+**Why useful:** LiteLLM is the gateway for all your AI apps (open-webui,
+myorg-assistant, etc.). Token spend + per-model latency is the single best
+cost/quality lever in the cluster.
+
+---
+
+### 10. Gitea (git + CI) — needs enabling
+Gitea exposes metrics at `/metrics` when `ENABLE_METRICS=true` in `app.ini`.
+Annotate `gitea-http` Service (port 3000 inside, 80 via svc).
+
+**Panels:**
+- Git push/clone/fetch rate — `gitea_actions_total` by `action`
+- Active users / repos / orgs — `gitea_users_total`, `gitea_repos_total`
+- Issues / PRs open — `gitea_issues_total`, `gitea_pulls_total`
+- HTTP request rate + latency
+- Gitea Actions runner job duration — if runner metrics exposed
+
+**Why useful:** Gitea hosts the cluster's own GitOps repo + CI. Tracking push
+rate and runner throughput catches CI storms.
+
+---
+
+### 11. Home Assistant — needs enabling
+HA exposes Prometheus metrics via the `prometheus` integration (add to
+`configuration.yaml`). Then annotate the Service.
+
+**Panels:**
+- Active entities / sensors by domain
+- State change events/sec — `homeassistant_entity_states_total`
+- Automation triggers/sec — `homeassistant_automation_triggered_total`
+- Integrations loaded + errors
+- Database size / recorder queue depth
+- Zigbee/Z-Wave mesh health (if exposed)
+
+**Why useful:** HA is a home-critical service. Event/sec spikes often indicate
+sensor flapping or runaway automations.
+
+---
+
+### 12. Jellyfin — limited
+Jellyfin doesn't ship first-class Prometheus metrics, but you can scrape it
+via a sidecar (`jellyfin-prometheus-exporter`) or build a blackbox-style
+dashboard on the `/health` endpoint.
+
+**Panels:**
+- Active streams — from exporter
+- Transcode sessions + hw accel usage
+- Library size by media type
+- Playback errors
+
+---
+
+### 13. Pi-hole — needs enabling
+Pi-hole exposes metrics on its FTL web API; the `pihole-exporter` sidecar
+converts them to Prometheus format. Add as a sidecar container + annotate.
+
+**Panels:**
+- DNS queries/sec (total, blocked, cached, forwarded)
+- Block list size
+- Top blocked domains
+- Top permitted domains
+- Clients by query volume
+- Cache hit ratio
+
+**Why useful:** Pi-hole is your network-wide adblock. Block rate + cache ratio
+are the headline metrics, and query spikes reveal misbehaving clients.
+
+---
+
+### 14. PostgreSQL (litellm + phoenix + n8n) — needs enabling
+You have two Postgres instances (`postgres` in `litellm` and `phoenix`).
+Add `prometheus-postgres-exporter` as a sidecar or Deployment per DB.
+
+**Panels (per DB):**
+- Connections (active / idle / max) — `pg_stat_activity_count`
+- Transactions/sec — `rate(pg_stat_database_xact_commit[5m])`
+- Cache hit ratio — `pg_stat_database_blks_hit / (blks_hit + blks_read)`
+- Table + index bloat
+- Replication lag (if replicas)
+- Slow queries (if `pg_stat_statements` enabled)
+- DB size growth — `pg_database_size_bytes`
+
+**Why useful:** DB connection exhaustion and cache ratio collapse are the two
+most common causes of slow app performance.
+
+---
+
+### 15. Minecraft — limited
+The Minecraft server exposes metrics via RCON + an exporter
+(`minecraft-exporter`). Add as sidecar using the existing `RCON_PASSWORD`.
+
+**Panels:**
+- Players online — `minecraft_players_online`
+- TPS (ticks per second) — `minecraft_tps` (server health)
+- Entities loaded — `minecraft_entities_total`
+- Chunk count — `minecraft_chunks_loaded`
+- Memory used by JVM
+
+**Why useful:** TPS < 20 means lag. Player count vs. server load is the only
+real signal a Minecraft server needs.
+
+---
+
+### 16. qBittorrent — limited
+No native metrics. Options: a `qbittorrent-exporter` sidecar (uses the WebUI
+API), or a blackbox probe on the WebUI.
+
+**Panels:**
+- Download/upload speed
+- Active torrents
+- Torrent count by state (downloading/seeding/paused)
+- Disk usage in download dir
+
+---
+
+## Cluster meta dashboards
+
+### 17. Network Topology / Service Map
+Composite view: for each namespace, list services, their pods, scrape status,
+and request volume (from Traefik logs + cAdvisor network). A "what talks to
+what" overview.
+
+**Panels:**
+- Service → pod → container resource table
+- Cross-namespace network flows (if network policy logging enabled)
+- Scrape health matrix (every target up/down)
+- Ingress route → backend service map
+
+---
+
+### 18. Backup / Snapshot Status
+If you take Velero snapshots or local-path snapshots, build a dashboard on
+`velero_*` or CRD status. **Requires Velero.**
+
+**Panels:**
+- Last successful backup per namespace
+- Failed backups
+- Backup size growth
+- Restore test status
+
+---
+
+### 19. Cost / Capacity Planning
+Composite: per-namespace CPU/memory requests vs. actual usage, projected
+growth, node saturation forecast.
+
+**Panels:**
+- Requests vs. limits vs. actual (per namespace) — KSM + cAdvisor
+- Node capacity vs. allocatable
+- PVC growth trend + 30-day forecast
+- "What if I removed node X" simulation (capacity headroom)
+
+**Why useful:** Tells you when you'll need another node before you hit the wall.
+
+---
+
+## Recommended priority order
+
+If you only build a few, do them in this order (highest value-to-effort first):
+
+1. **Traefik Ingress** (#1) — already scraped, your front door
+2. **Storage & PVC Health** (#6) — local-path fills disks; high blast radius
+3. **Workload Health** (#7) — surfaces CrashLoopBackOff / ImagePullBackOff
+4. **cert-manager** (#4) — prevents silent cert expiry outages
+5. **CoreDNS** (#2) — early warning for DNS cascades
+6. **LiteLLM** (#9) — needs `prometheus.io/scrape` annotation only; big insights
+7. **MetalLB** (#3) — small but catches LoadBalancer IP exhaustion
+
+Items 8–19 are nice-to-have or require additional exporters/config.

+# Platform Engineer Agent — Deployment Plan
+
+An autonomous **Hermes Agent** that runs inside the k3s cluster, watches its
+health on a schedule, tries to fix simple problems, and notifies me (via
+Discord) when something needs my attention or a fix failed.
+
+Docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/docker
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal & operating model
+
+- **One Hermes container** in a new namespace `platform-engineer`, scheduled on
+  the powerful amd64 node (`roger-nucbox-evo-x2`, 24 GiB RAM).
+- Hermes runs in **gateway mode** under s6 supervision (`command: gateway run`),
+  so the built-in **cron scheduler** is active and survives restarts.
+- The agent talks to the cluster with `kubectl` from *inside* the container
+  (terminal backend = `local`). We give the pod a **ServiceAccount + ClusterRole**
+  scoped to read-mostly + restart/scale/delete-pod permissions.
+- LLM calls are routed through the in-cluster **LiteLLM** proxy
+  (`litellm.rogi.casa`) — no external API keys needed in the cluster.
+- Notifications go to **Discord** (reuse the pattern from `myorg-assistant`).
+- A set of **cron jobs** (Hermes-native, not Kubernetes CronJobs) make the agent
+  run periodic checks. Watchdog checks use `[SILENT]` so it only pings me when
+  something is wrong.
+
+Why Hermes-native cron (not k8s CronJobs):
+- Hermes cron ticks inside the gateway, runs in an isolated agent session,
+  supports `[SILENT]` suppression, `deliver="discord"`, `workdir`, and
+  `context_from` chaining — far less plumbing than spawning a fresh pod per run.
+- Cron jobs live in `~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json` on the PVC, so they survive pod
+  restarts and can be edited live via `hermes cron edit` without redeploying.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Files to create (this directory)
+
+```
+platform-engineer/
+├── namespace.yaml              # namespace platform-engineer
+├── rbac.yaml                    # ServiceAccount + ClusterRole (+binding)
+├── configmap.yaml               # hermes config.yaml + SOUL.md + cron seed script
+├── secret.yaml                  # DISCORD bot token, LITELLM_API_KEY, kubeconfig-less SA token

+└── README.md                    # this file
+```
+
+Then add a line to `argocd/gen-apps.sh` `APPS=(...)`:
+```
+"platform-engineer|platform-engineer|platform-engineer|true|true"
+```
+and re-run `./argocd/gen-apps.sh` to generate `argocd/apps/platform-engineer.yaml`
+so ArgoCD reconciles it like every other app in the repo.
+
+---
+
+## 3. RBAC — least privilege
+
+ServiceAccount `platform-engineer` in ns `platform-engineer`, bound to a
+**ClusterRole** scoped to *platform engineer* actions:
+
+**Read (get/list/watch):** nodes, pods, services, deployments, statefulsets,
+daemonsets, replicasets, jobs, cronjobs, events, configmaps, secrets, PVCs,
+ingresses, namespaces.
+
+**Act (patch/update on a allowlist):**
+- `pods` → `delete` (force-restart a stuck pod), `patch` (`/evict`, annotations)
+- `deployments`, `statefulsets`, `daemonsets`, `replicasets` → `patch` (restart
+  via `kubectl rollout restart` / scale), `update`
+- `jobs`, `cronjobs` → `delete`, `patch`
+- `pods/exec` (subresource) → `create` (only if we want the agent to `kubectl
+  exec` into pods for log-style debugging — optional; keep off initially)
+- `events` → `get/list/watch` only
+
+**No cluster-scoped writes** (no creating namespaces, no node taints, no RBAC
+edits, no CRDs). The agent can *propose* those and tell me; it cannot do them
+itself. All mutating calls are auditable via Kubernetes audit logs and
+`kubectl auth can-i --as=system:serviceaccount:platform-engineer:platform-engineer`.
+
+The pod uses the k3s in-cluster ServiceAccount token (`/var/run/secrets/...
+/serviceaccount/token`) + the `KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST/PORT` env vars k3s already
+injects — **no kubeconfig file, no long-lived token on disk**.
+

+
+## 4. Image — thin derived Dockerfile
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM nousresearch/hermes-agent:latest
+USER root
+RUN apt-get update \
+ && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends curl gnupg \
+ && curl -fsSL https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.35/deb/Release.key \
+    | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/kubernetes-apt-keyring.gpg \

+ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
+USER hermes
+```
+
+> Note: the cluster is mixed arch (arm64/amd64/arm). The agent pod is pinned to
+> the amd64 node, so `linux-amd64` helm + `kubectl` packages are fine. If you
+> later want it portable, switch to a multi-arch build with
+> `TARGETARCH` and install matching helm arch.
+
+Build & push to your Gitea registry (`git.rogi.casa/roger/...`) — same
+`imagePullSecrets: gitea-registry` pattern as `gym-tracker`. Tag with the
+hermes version + a short git sha.

+
+## 5. Hermes configuration (mounted via ConfigMap → /opt/data/config.yaml)
+
+```yaml
+# config.yaml (seeded into the PVC on first boot)
+model:
+  provider: openai-api
+  default: claude-4.5-haiku
+  base_url: "https://litellm.rogi.casa/v1"
+  api_mode: chat_completions
+
+# Use a cheap, fast model for auxiliary tasks (titling, compression)

+  timeout: 180
+  home_mode: profile        # isolate tool credentials under HERMES_HOME/home
+
+# Unattended gateway → circuit-breaker on tool-call loops
+tool_loop_guardrails:

+  hard_stop_after:
+    exact_failure: 5
+    idempotent_no_progress: 5
+
+sessions:
+  auto_prune: true
+  retention_days: 90
+
+cron:
+  wrap_response: false      # cleaner Discord messages
+
+memory:
+  memory_enabled: true
+  user_profile_enabled: true
+```
+
+`.env` (from Secret, mounted to `/opt/data/.env`):
+```
+OPENAI_API_KEY=<LITELLM_API_KEY value, i.e. sk-...>
+OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://litellm.rogi.casa/v1
+DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=<new dedicated bot token>
+DISCORD_HOME_CHANNEL=<your user/channel id for alerts>
+# Dashboard auth (homelab, trusted LAN behind ingress)
+HERMES_DASHBOARD_BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME=roger
+HERMES_DASHBOARD_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=<strong password>
+```
+
+> Why `OPENAI_API_KEY` + `OPENAI_BASE_URL`: the `openai-api` provider honours
+> `OPENAI_BASE_URL`, so this is the simplest way to point Hermes at the
+> in-cluster LiteLLM. `claude-4.5-haiku` / `gemini-3-flash` are the model names
+> already exposed by your `litellm/litellm.yaml` ConfigMap.
+
+`SOUL.md` (personality + guardrails) — see `configmap.yaml`. Key points:
+- Identity: "Platform Engineer for the rogi.casa k3s cluster."
+- Knows the cluster layout (3 nodes, ArgoCD GitOps, Traefik+cert-manager,
+  LiteLLM, services list).
+- Operating rules: read-first; only act on the allowlisted verbs; never edit
+  RBAC / taints / namespaces / CRDs; when in doubt, notify instead of acting;
+  always cite the resource and the command used.
+- How to reach me: `deliver="discord"`.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Deployment
+
+- `replicas: 1` (Hermes data dir is single-writer — never scale >1).
+- `nodeSelector: kubernetes.io/arch: amd64` + preferred `hardware: high-memory`
+  affinity → lands on the NUC.
+- `resources`: requests 512Mi/250m, limits 2Gi/1 core (Hermes recommends
+  2–4 GiB; 1 GiB is fine without browser tools, which we keep off).
+- Volume: PVC mounted at `/opt/data` (HERMES_HOME), RWX not needed (single pod).
+- Ports: 8642 (gateway API, internal only) and 9119 (dashboard) → exposed via
+  Ingress `hermes.rogi.casa` with TLS + basic-auth (already enforced by the
+  `HERMES_DASHBOARD_BASIC_AUTH_*` env vars).
+- `imagePullSecrets: gitea-registry`.
+- env from Secret; `HERMES_DASHBOARD=1`.
+- Init: on first boot the s6 `01-hermes-setup` hook seeds config/SOUL/.env from
+  the ConfigMap if the volume is empty. We mount the ConfigMap as a readonly
+  projection at `/opt/seed/` and run a tiny initContainer to copy it into
+  `/opt/data` only when `/opt/data/config.yaml` doesn't exist (so ArgoCD
+  self-heal never fights the agent's live-edited config).
+
+---
+
+## 7. Cron jobs to seed (Hermes-native)
+
+These are written by an init script (one-shot Job `hermes-cron-seed`) that runs
+`hermes cron create ...` against the gateway on first install, and is idempotent
+(it checks existing job names). All deliver to Discord. Examples:
+
+| Name | Schedule | Prompt (abbreviated) |
+|------|----------|------------------------|
+| `cluster-health-check` | `every 15m` | Run `kubectl get nodes,pods -A --field-selector=status.phase!=Running,status.phase!=Succeeded` and `kubectl get events -A --field-selector type=Warning --since=20m`. If everything healthy, reply with only `[SILENT]`. Otherwise summarize failures and root-cause briefly. |
+| `pod-restart-loop` | `every 10m` | Find pods in `CrashLoopBackOff`/`ImagePullBackOff` across all namespaces. For `CrashLoopBackOff`, fetch logs and if a clear transient cause (OOM, config parse, missing secret) is visible, attempt `kubectl rollout restart <deploy>`; otherwise notify me with the log excerpt. Reply `[SILENT]` if none found. |
+| `pvc-pressure` | `every 30m` | `kubectl get pv` + node disk via `kubectl top nodes`. Alert if any PVC `Bound` to a near-full volume or node disk >85%. `[SILENT]` otherwise. |
+| `argocd-sync-health` | `every 1h` | `kubectl get applications -n argocd -o wide` (or `argocd app sync --dry-run` if CLI present). Report any `OutOfSync`/`Degraded` app. `[SILENT]` if all `Synced`+`Healthy`. |
+| `cert-expiry` | `every 1d at 09:00` | List cert-manager `Certificate` resources with expiry < 21 days. Notify only if any. `[SILENT]` otherwise. |
+| `node-resource-drift` | `every 30m` | `kubectl top nodes`. Alert if any node CPU>90% or mem>90% sustained, or any node `NotReady`. `[SILENT]` otherwise. |
+| `daily-cluster-report` | `0 8 * * *` | Summarize: node count/status, top 5 pods by CPU/mem, # pods not Running, # ArgoCD apps OutOfSync, cert warnings. Always deliver (no `[SILENT]`). |
+
+Design rules baked into SOUL.md:
+- **Read-only checks** run frequently (10–30m) and stay silent unless wrong.
+- **Mutating actions** are restricted to safe idempotent ones (rollout restart,
+  delete stuck pod so controller recreates). Anything riskier → notify me with
+  a proposed command and wait for me to run it (I can reply in Discord to the
+  continuable thread).
+- Cron sessions are isolated and **cannot create new cron jobs** (Hermes
+  disables that inside cron runs) → no runaway loops.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Safety & guardrails
+
+1. **RBAC is the real boundary.** Even if the agent goes rogue, the SA can't
+   touch other namespaces' secrets beyond read, can't change RBAC, can't taint
+   nodes, can't create namespaces.
+2. **`tool_loop_guardrails.hard_stop_enabled: true`** — circuit-breaks a stuck
+   gateway (recommended in the Docker doc for unattended deployments).
+3. **`skills.write_approval: false` but `memory.write_approval: true`** (so the
+   agent can build skills/memories but I review memory writes lazily — flip
+   this if it gets noisy).
+4. **No `pods/exec` subresource** initially (keep the agent from shelling into
+   workloads). Enable later only if you want log-grep-style debugging.
+5. **Dashboard behind ingress TLS + basic auth** (the June-2026 hardening makes
+   auth mandatory on non-loopback binds; we satisfy it with the bundled
+   basic-auth provider).
+6. **Single replica / single-writer PVC** — the Docker doc is explicit that two
+   gateways on the same `/opt/data` corrupt session/memory stores. Use a
+   `podAntiAffinity` so an accidental scale-up doesn't co-run.
+7. **ArgoCD interaction:** keep `syncPolicy.automated.prune+selfHeal` but
+   exclude the live-edited hermes state. Practically: Argo owns the *manifests*
+   (deployment, configmap, secret, pvc), while `/opt/data` (config.yaml,
+   cron/jobs.json, SOUL.md edits made via the dashboard) is runtime state on the
+   PVC and is *not* reconciled by Argo. The ConfigMap only *seeds* it on first
+   boot. Document this clearly in the README so future-you doesn't expect Argo
+   to reset the agent's personality.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Rollout plan
+
+1. Build & push the derived image to `git.rogi.casa/roger/hermes-agent` (tag
+   `v1.35-<sha>`).
+2. Create the namespace + RBAC + Secret + ConfigMap + PVC:
+   `kubectl apply -f platform-engineer/`.
+3. Create the `platform-engineer` Discord bot, invite it, put its token + your
+   channel id in `secret.yaml` (base64).
+4. Apply the Deployment; wait for the pod to go Running.
+5. `kubectl exec` in and run the one-shot cron seed:
+   `hermes cron create ...` (or apply the `cron-seed` Job).
+6. Trigger the first `cluster-health-check` manually: `hermes cron run cluster-health-check`.
+7. Add the app to `argocd/gen-apps.sh`, regenerate, commit, push.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Decisions (locked in)
+
+1. **Notifications:** dedicated `platform-engineer` Discord bot → its own token
+   in `secret.yaml` (`DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`, `DISCORD_HOME_CHANNEL`).
+2. **Dashboard:** public at `hermes.rogi.casa` (Traefik TLS + cert-manager + the
+   bundled Hermes basic-auth provider). Reach the dashboard on port 9119; the
+   gateway API on 8642 is ClusterIP-only.
+3. **Image:** derived image pushed to `git.rogi.casa/roger/hermes-agent`, pulled
+   via the existing `gitea-registry` imagePullSecret (must also exist in the
+   `platform-engineer` ns — see deploy steps).
+4. **Model:** `qwen-3.6:27b` via the in-cluster Ollama box (`10.88.20.12:11434`),
+   exposed through LiteLLM as `qwen-3.6:27b`. Added to `litellm/litellm.yaml`.
+   Hermes reaches LiteLLM at `https://litellm.rogi.casa/v1` (never Ollama directly).
+5. **pods/exec:** granted (`pods/exec` → `create` in the ClusterRole) so the
+   agent can `kubectl exec`/`kubectl logs` for debugging.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Deployment checklist (do in this order)
+
+1. **Add the Ollama model to LiteLLM** (already done in `litellm/litellm.yaml`):
+   the `qwen-3.6:27b` entry points at `http://10.88.20.12:11434`. Make sure
+   `qwen3.6:27b` is actually pulled on that Ollama host
+   (`ollama pull qwen3.6:27b`). Apply: `kubectl apply -f litellm/` and restart
+   the LiteLLM pod so the new config takes effect.
+2. **Create the `gitea-registry` secret in the new namespace** (ArgoCD won't
+   create it — it's not in the repo):
+   ```
+   kubectl create namespace platform-engineer
+   kubectl create secret docker-registry gitea-registry \
+     --docker-server=git.rogi.casa \
+     --docker-username=<your-gitea-user> \
+     --docker-password=<gitea-access-token> \
+     --docker-email=<your-email> \
+     -n platform-engineer
+   ```
+3. **Build & push the image:** `./platform-engineer/build-and-push.sh`
+   (after `docker login git.rogi.casa`).
+4. **Create the dedicated Discord bot**, invite it to your server, and put the
+   token + your channel id (base64) into `platform-engineer/secret.yaml`. Also
+   set the LiteLLM master key as `OPENAI_API_KEY` and a strong dashboard
+   password + a 32-byte session secret.
+5. **Commit & push** the whole change. ArgoCD will create the namespace
+   resources, deploy the pod, and bring up the ingress at `hermes.rogi.casa`.
+6. **Seed the cron jobs:**
+   `kubectl apply -f platform-engineer/cron-seed.yaml` (one-shot Job) — it waits
+   for the hermes pod, then runs `hermes cron create ...` for each watchdog.
+   Re-run it any time you want to re-seed after a wipe.
+7. **Smoke test:** trigger the first health check manually —
+   `kubectl exec -n platform-engineer deploy/hermes -- hermes cron run cluster-health-check` —
+   and confirm the message lands in Discord.
+8. **ArgoCD:** the `Application` (`argocd/apps/platform-engineer.yaml`) is
+   already generated. After commit, Argo will reconcile it like every other app.
+
+## 12. What ArgoCD owns vs. what is runtime state
+
+- **ArgoCD owns** (in git): namespace, RBAC, Secret, ConfigMap (seed), PVC,
+  Deployment, Service, Ingress, cron-seed Job.
+- **Runtime state (on the PVC, NOT reconciled):** `config.yaml`, `SOUL.md`,
+  `.env`, `cron/jobs.json`, `sessions/`, `memories/`, `skills/`. The ConfigMap
+  only *seeds* these on first boot; after that, edits you make via the
+  dashboard or `hermes cron edit` persist on the PVC and Argo will not revert
+  them. If you ever want a hard reset, delete the PVC and re-apply.

+    # Platform Engineer — rogi.casa k3s cluster
+
+    You are the autonomous Platform Engineer for the `rogi.casa` K3s cluster.
+    You run *inside* the cluster (namespace `platform-engineer`) and your job is
+    to keep it healthy, fix small problems before they grow, and notify your
+    owner (Roger) on Discord when something needs a human.
+
+    ## The cluster you look after
+
+    - **Nodes:** `raspberrypi` (control-plane, arm64, 4 GiB), `rpi2` (arm,
+      ~512 MiB), `roger-nucbox-evo-x2` (amd64, 24 GiB — you run here).
+    - **GitOps:** ArgoCD owns every app from the git repo (cloned at /workspace/k3s-cluster).
+      The repo is cloned at `/workspace/k3s-cluster`. Each app lives in its own
+      folder; manifests are reconciled with prune + selfHeal.
+    - **Ingress:** Traefik; TLS via cert-manager + `letsencrypt-prod`.
+    - **Your model provider:** LiteLLM at `http://litellm-service.litellm:80/v1`
+      (reached in-cluster; never Ollama directly).
+    - **Services:** glance, pihole, litellm, gitea, home-assistant, jellyfin,
+      n8n, openwebui, phoenix, vaultwarden, qbittorrent, minecraft, monitoring
+      (prometheus + grafana + loki), fava, myorg-assistant, gym-tracker.
+
+    ## How you observe the cluster (NO kubectl — you have none)
+
+    You have NO k8s API access and NO kubectl. DO NOT try to run kubectl — it
+    is not installed and you have no RBAC. Use the HTTP APIs below with the
+    terminal tool. Use in-cluster service hostnames (name.namespace:port),
+    NOT public ingress URLs like loki.rogi.casa (they go through Cloudflare
+    which times out on long requests).
+
+    ### 1. Prometheus (metrics)
+    Endpoint: http://prometheus.monitoring:9090/api/v1/query
+    Use the terminal tool to send an HTTP GET with a PromQL query parameter
+    named 'query'. Useful PromQL:
+      - Node not Ready:      kube_node_status_condition{condition="Ready",status!="true"}
+      - Pod not Running:     kube_pod_status_phase{phase!="Running"}
+      - Pod restarts:        kube_pod_container_status_restarts_total
+      - PVC free percent:    kubelet_volume_stats_available_bytes / kubelet_volume_stats_capacity_bytes
+      - Node mem free:       node_memory_MemAvailable_bytes / node_memory_MemTotal_bytes
+      - Node disk used:      1 - (node_filesystem_avail_bytes{mountpoint="/"} / node_filesystem_size_bytes{mountpoint="/"})
+      - Cert expiry (days):  (certmanager_certificate_expiration_timestamp_seconds - time()) / 86400
+      - Top pods CPU:        topk(5, rate(container_cpu_usage_seconds_total[5m]))
+      - Top pods mem:        topk(5, container_memory_working_set_bytes)
+
+    ### 2. Loki (pod logs)
+    Endpoint: http://loki.monitoring:3100/loki/api/v1/query_range
+    Use the terminal tool to send an HTTP GET with these query parameters:
+    'query' (a LogQL expression), 'start' and 'end' (Unix nanosecond
+    timestamps), and 'limit'. Useful LogQL:
+      - Errors in a namespace:    {namespace="myorg-assistant"} |= "error"
+      - CrashLoop across cluster: {namespace=~".+"} |~ "(?i)backoff|crashloop"
+      - Pod logs:                  {namespace="<ns>",pod="<pod>"}
+
+    ### 3. ArgoCD API (app status + sync triggers)
+    Endpoint: https://argocd-server.argocd:443 (internal service, use the -k
+    flag to skip TLS cert verification since it's a self-signed internal cert)
+    Auth: bearer token (read from the environment variable for the ArgoCD token). Send an
+    Authorization header with the token.
+    Endpoints: GET /api/v1/applications (list apps), POST /api/v1/applications/<app>/sync (trigger sync)
+
+    ## Parsing JSON responses
+
+    The execute_code tool is BLOCKED in cron mode. To parse JSON from HTTP
+    responses, pipe the output through python3 or jq inside the terminal tool.
+
+    ## How you remediate (git commit → ArgoCD sync)
+
+    You have NO k8s write access. Every fix is a git commit to the repo at
+    `/workspace/k3s-cluster` (which you push to Gitea using the token in your environment).
+    ArgoCD's selfHeal picks up the change; if you need it faster, trigger a sync
+    via the ArgoCD API.
+
+    Workflow:
+      cd /workspace/k3s-cluster
+      git pull
+      # ... edit the manifest(s) ...
+      git add -A && git commit -m "fix(<app>): <what changed>"
+      git push    # uses the token embedded in the repo URL / environment
+      # optionally trigger ArgoCD sync via the API (see section 3 above).
+
+    ## Operating rules
+
+    1. **Read first, act second.** Before changing anything, gather the evidence
+       via Prometheus + Loki + ArgoCD. Cite the exact resource (ns/name) and
+       the exact query/command in every report.
+    2. **GitOps is the ONLY write path.** Never try to use kubectl (you don't
+       have it). Every remediation is a git commit + push + optional ArgoCD sync
+       trigger. ArgoCD will reconcile; if it reverts you, your fix was wrong.
+    3. **Only safe, idempotent remediations.** Allowed: scaling a Deployment,
+       bumping the `restartedAt` annotation to trigger a rollout, fixing a
+       broken ConfigMap/Secret value, pinning an image tag. Never touch RBAC,
+       ArgoCD's own Application manifests, nodes, or CRDs.
+    4. **When in doubt, notify, don't act.** If a fix is risky, unusual, or would
+       touch state outside the repo, post the proposed change to Discord and
+       wait for Roger to reply.
+    5. **Be quiet when healthy.** Watchdog cron jobs reply with exactly `[SILENT]`
+       when there is nothing to report. Failed jobs always deliver.
+    6. **No runaway loops.** You cannot create new cron jobs from inside a cron
+       run (Hermes disables that). Do not try.
+    7. **Talk like an engineer.** Short, concrete, with resource names and
+       queries. No filler. When you fixed something, say what you did in one line.
+    8. **Respect GitOps.** If an app is `OutOfSync`/`Degraded`, check whether a
+       commit is stuck. Don't hand-edit resources — fix the source repo.
+
+    ## How you reach Roger
+
+    Notifications go to Discord (your home channel). Cron jobs deliver there by
+    default (`deliver="discord"`). Keep messages under ~1800 chars.

+# commits (→ ArgoCD sync) and reads state via Loki / Prometheus / ArgoCD APIs.
+#
+# The cron-seed Job needs to `kubectl exec` into the hermes pod to run
+# `hermes cron create ...` (the only way to seed Hermes' internal cron).
+# Scoped to this namespace, pods/exec on the hermes pod only.
