Previous ctx-size=8192/parallel=4 gave 2048 tokens/slot, too small for
context compression inputs (observed live rejection at 3826 tokens).

Measured VRAM on astro-orbiter (RTX 3090 24GB): weights ~17GB resident,
~294KiB/token pool-wide for KV cache+buffers at prior sizing.

New: ctx-size=16384, parallel=2 -> 8192 tokens/slot (matches model's
native n_ctx_train max). Projected VRAM ~21.8GB, ~2.7GB headroom.

+# CouchDB erlangCookie Fix - Implementation Guide
+
+## Summary
+
+**Problem**: CouchDB deployment fails because `erlangCookie` is missing from the ExternalSecret configuration.
+
+**Decision**: Externalize `erlangCookie` to 1Password (pragmatic approach)
+
+**Rationale**: 
+- ExternalSecret architecture requires ownership of the entire secret
+- Mixing externalized and chart-generated fields in the same secret is not supported
+- Single-node deployment makes erlangCookie rotation unnecessary
+- This is an acceptable deviation from the pure Harbor pattern given the architectural constraints
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### 1. Generate erlangCookie Value
+
+```bash
+openssl rand -hex 20
+```
+
+Example output: `f4e3c2b1a9d8e7f6c5b4a3d2e1f0a9b8c7d6e5f4`
+
+### 2. Add to 1Password
+
+- **Vault**: `mk-labs`
+- **Item**: `couchdb`
+- **Field Name**: `erlang-cookie`
+- **Field Type**: password (concealed)
+- **Value**: `<paste generated value from step 1>`
+
+### 3. Update ExternalSecret Configuration
+
+File: `cluster/applications/couchdb/externalsecret.yaml`
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1beta1
+kind: ExternalSecret
+metadata:
+  name: couchdb-credentials
+  namespace: couchdb
+  labels:
+    app.kubernetes.io/name: couchdb
+    app.kubernetes.io/part-of: mk-labs
+spec:
+  refreshInterval: 1h
+  secretStoreRef:
+    kind: ClusterSecretStore
+    name: onepassword-connect
+  target:
+    name: couchdb-admin
+    creationPolicy: Owner
+    template:
+      engineVersion: v2
+      data:
+        adminUsername: "admin"
+        adminPassword: "{{ .adminPassword }}"
+        cookieAuthSecret: "{{ .cookieAuthSecret }}"
+        erlangCookie: "{{ .erlangCookie }}"  # ← ADD THIS LINE
+  data:
+    - secretKey: adminPassword
+      remoteRef:
+        key: couchdb
+        property: admin-password
+    - secretKey: cookieAuthSecret
+      remoteRef:
+        key: couchdb
+        property: cookie-auth-secret
+    - secretKey: erlangCookie  # ← ADD THIS BLOCK
+      remoteRef:
+        key: couchdb
+        property: erlang-cookie
+```
+
+### 4. Update values.yaml Documentation (Optional)
+
+File: `cluster/applications/couchdb/values.yaml`
+
+Update the comment block at line 9-10:
+
+```yaml
+# Admin credentials managed via ExternalSecret
+# See externalsecret.yaml for 1Password integration
+#
+# NOTE: erlangCookie is externalized to 1Password for architectural
+# simplicity (ExternalSecret ownership model). In a pure Harbor pattern,
+# this would be chart-generated, but single-node deployment makes this
+# acceptable. The erlangCookie is treated as an immutable infrastructure
+# secret (generate once, never rotate).
+createAdminSecret: false
+extraSecretName: "couchdb-admin"
+```
+
+### 5. Commit and Push
+
+```bash
+cd ~/git/homelab
+git add cluster/applications/couchdb/externalsecret.yaml
+git add cluster/applications/couchdb/values.yaml  # if modified
+git commit -m "fix(couchdb): add erlangCookie to ExternalSecret from 1Password"
+git push origin main
+```
+
+### 6. Verify Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Watch ExternalSecret sync
+kubectl get externalsecret -n couchdb couchdb-credentials -w
+# Wait for: SecretSynced
+
+# Verify secret created with all four keys
+kubectl get secret -n couchdb couchdb-admin -o yaml
+# Should contain: adminUsername, adminPassword, cookieAuthSecret, erlangCookie
+
+# Watch ArgoCD sync
+kubectl get application -n argocd couchdb -w
+# Wait for: Healthy/Synced
+
+# Watch pod startup
+kubectl get pods -n couchdb -w
+# Wait for: Running
+
+# Test CouchDB access
+kubectl port-forward -n couchdb svc/couchdb-svc-couchdb 5984:5984 &
+curl http://localhost:5984/
+# Expected: {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"3.5.1"}
+```
+
+## Why Not Follow Harbor Pattern Exactly?
+
+**Harbor Pattern**: Only user-facing credentials externalized, internal secrets chart-generated.
+
+**CouchDB Constraint**: ExternalSecret uses `creationPolicy: Owner`, which takes full ownership of the target secret. This prevents the Helm chart from adding auto-generated fields to the same secret.
+
+**Options Considered**:
+1. ✅ **Externalize erlangCookie** (SELECTED) - Works with current architecture
+2. ❌ Chart auto-generation - Conflicts with ExternalSecret ownership
+3. ❌ Dual-secret approach - Requires Helm chart customization
+4. ❌ Disable ExternalSecret - Loses 1Password integration for admin password
+
+**Decision**: Pragmatic approach wins. erlangCookie is treated as an infrastructure secret (generate once, never rotate), which is acceptable for a single-node deployment.
+
+## Secret Classification
+
+| Secret           | Type          | 1Password? | Rationale                          |
+|------------------|---------------|------------|------------------------------------|
+| adminUsername    | User-facing   | No*        | Static value, hardcoded in template |
+| adminPassword    | User-facing   | ✅ YES     | User login credential              |
+| cookieAuthSecret | Gray area     | ✅ YES     | Session security, periodic rotation |
+| erlangCookie     | Internal      | ✅ YES**   | Architectural constraint           |
+
+\* Hardcoded in ExternalSecret template (not fetched from 1Password)  
+\*\* Pragmatic deviation from Harbor pattern due to ExternalSecret architecture

+# llm-inference-multimodel
+
+Deploys **two independent llama-server systemd services** on astro-orbiter's
+RTX 3090 (24GB), alongside — not replacing — the existing `llm-inference` role:
+
+| Instance | Port | Model | Quant | ctx | parallel | ~VRAM |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `llama-server-aux` | 8000 | Phi-4-14B-Instruct | Q4_K_M | 8192 | 2 | ~10.0GB |
+| `llama-server-toolcall` | 8001 | Mistral-Small-24B-Instruct-2501 | Q3_K_M | 4096 | 1 | ~13.2GB |
+
+Combined estimate: **~23.2GB / 24GB** (~0.8GB headroom). See
+`/home/hermes/astro-orbiter-multi-model-plan.md` for the full approved design
+(VRAM math, model selection rationale, rollback plan, validation harness).
+
+## Relationship to `roles/llm-inference`
+
+This role does **not** replace `llm-inference`. It assumes that role's
+prerequisites are already satisfied on the host:
+
+- NVIDIA driver installed
+- `/opt/llama.cpp` cloned and built with CUDA (`/opt/llama.cpp/build/bin/llama-server` exists)
+- `jarvis` service user + `/home/jarvis` present
+
+The pre-existing single-model Gemma llama-server (however it is currently
+run) is **never modified, restarted, or deleted** by this role. It is the
+rollback target.
+
+## Phases
+
+Run the whole role, or scope with `--tags`:
+
+```
+ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml playbooks/day1_deploy_llm_inference_multimodel.yml
+# or, once merged into a single play:
+ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml <playbook>.yml --tags discover,models,systemd,firewall,verify
+```
+
+0. **discover** (`tasks/discover.yml`) — READ-ONLY. Confirms via
+   `service_facts` + `pgrep` whether the existing Gemma llama-server actually
+   runs as a systemd unit today, or some ad hoc way (nohup/screen/tmux). Does
+   **not** assume a unit exists — this was an open unknown in the plan and is
+   resolved here as a fact-gathering step, not an assumption. Also records
+   baseline VRAM and current port 8000/8001 listeners for comparison later.
+
+   **If this reports no unit found**, stop and read the debug message —
+   it means plan §6's rollback story ("systemctl start the old unit to
+   revert") isn't actually available yet, and that should be fixed (codify
+   the existing process as a systemd unit) before proceeding to Phase 2.
+
+1. **models** (`tasks/models.yml`) — Idempotent GGUF download to
+   `/opt/models/` with a stat + minimum-size guard (mirrors the pattern in
+   `roles/llm-inference/tasks/serve.yml` and the `llm-inference-homelab`
+   skill), so reruns don't re-pull 8.5GB/11.7GB files or mistake a truncated
+   partial download for complete.
+
+2. **systemd** (`tasks/systemd.yml`) — Templates and deploys both unit files
+   to `/etc/systemd/system/`. **Deliberately does not start or enable either
+   service** — units land on disk as a separately reviewable checkpoint.
+   Two fully independent units (not one unit with two ExecStarts) so either
+   instance can be restarted/stopped without affecting the other.
+
+3. **firewall** (`tasks/firewall.yml`) — Scopes ports 8000 and 8001 via `ufw`
+   to `llm_allowed_source_cidr` (default the Hermes LAN subnet), rather than
+   leaving them open. Both unit templates also bind to
+   `llm_bind_address` (default `10.1.71.130`, the host's private LAN IP) —
+   **not `0.0.0.0`** — which is a deliberate change from the pre-existing
+   Gemma pattern flagged as insecure in the plan.
+
+4. **verify** (`tasks/verify.yml`) — The only phase that actually starts +
+   enables both services. Waits for `/health` on both ports, smoke-tests
+   `/v1/models` and a trivial `/v1/chat/completions` call on each, checks
+   `nvidia-smi` VRAM usage against the plan's design estimate, and greps
+   `dmesg` for OOM-kill events.
+
+   **This smoke test is not the tool-calling validation harness.** See
+   below.
+
+## Key variables
+
+Defined in `defaults/main.yml` (all overridable via `host_vars`/`group_vars`
+or `-e`):
+
+- `llm_service_user` (jarvis), `llm_binary_path`, `llm_models_dir`, `llm_bind_address`, `llm_allowed_source_cidr`
+- Aux: `llm_aux_port`, `llm_aux_model_path`, `llm_aux_model_url`, `llm_aux_ctx_size`, `llm_aux_parallel`, `llm_aux_gpu_layers`
+- Tool-calling: `llm_toolcall_port`, `llm_toolcall_model_path`, `llm_toolcall_model_url`, `llm_toolcall_ctx_size`, `llm_toolcall_parallel`, `llm_toolcall_gpu_layers`
+
+`vars/main.yml` holds constants not meant to be overridden per-host (HF token
+reference, expected-VRAM figures used only for the verify.yml report).
+
+## ⚠️ Tool-calling validation is required before use
+
+Port 8001 (Mistral-Small-24B) **must** pass the manual validation procedure
+described in plan §7 before any Claude Code / tool-calling-capable Hermes
+profile is pointed at it:
+
+1. A curl-based `tool_calls` emission probe (does it call tools correctly on
+   known trigger prompts?)
+2. A hallucination stress test (does it fabricate `tool_calls` on prompts
+   that shouldn't trigger any?)
+3. A shadow-mode period (run parallel to the existing tool-calling path,
+   compare outputs, before a hard cutover)
+
+This is **intentionally not automated into this role** — it is a
+correctness/safety judgment call, not a repeatable infra check. See
+`docs/validation-log.md` in this role directory for the procedure reference
+and a place to log results once Ryan runs it.
+
+## Known gap: Semaphore is broken (as of 2026-08-05)
+
+The normal execution/audit path (Semaphore) is currently non-functional.
+This role was authored to be run via direct `ansible-playbook` as an accepted
+interim stopgap, executed personally by Ryan. **This is a known gap, not the
+intended long-term operational path** — once Semaphore is repaired, retarget
+execution of this role (and future changes to it) through Semaphore so runs
+are audited/logged there again. Flag this in any future work that touches
+this role.
+
+## Rollback
+
+The existing Gemma llama-server and its GGUF are untouched by every phase of
+this role. To roll back:
+
+1. `systemctl stop llama-server-aux llama-server-toolcall`
+2. `systemctl disable llama-server-aux llama-server-toolcall` (optional, if reverting permanently)
+3. Confirm the original Gemma service (name determined by `discover.yml`,
+   commonly `llama-server.service`) is (still) running: `systemctl status llama-server`
+4. If it was never running because Phase 0 discovered it wasn't a managed
+   unit, whatever ad hoc process/command was used before this role's changes
+   is also unaffected — nothing in this role stopped it.
+
+No files belonging to the existing Gemma deployment (GGUF, unit file, or
+otherwise) are ever written to or deleted by this role.

+# Tool-Calling Model Validation Log
+
+This file tracks the manual validation procedure required by
+`astro-orbiter-multi-model-plan.md` §7 before `llama-server-toolcall` (port
+8001, Mistral-Small-24B-Instruct-2501 Q3_K_M) is trusted for any real
+tool-calling / Claude Code Hermes profile traffic.
+
+This is **not automated by the role** — `tasks/verify.yml` only confirms the
+endpoint is up and can produce a basic completion. The checks below are a
+correctness/safety judgment call that a human runs and records here.
+
+## Procedure (plan §7 summary)
+
+1. **`tool_calls` emission probe** — curl a handful of known
+   tool-triggering prompts (e.g. "what's the weather in Austin right now")
+   against `POST http://10.1.71.130:8001/v1/chat/completions` with a `tools`
+   array defined, and confirm the response actually contains a well-formed
+   `tool_calls` block (correct function name, valid JSON arguments) rather
+   than a plain-text answer or a malformed call.
+
+2. **Hallucination stress test** — send prompts that should **not** trigger
+   any tool call (general knowledge questions, casual chat, prompts that
+   merely mention a tool's name in passing) and confirm the model does
+   **not** emit a spurious `tool_calls` block. This is the primary risk
+   flagged in the plan given Mistral-Small's Q3_K_M quantization and its
+   lineage concerns around over-eager tool invocation.
+
+3. **Shadow mode** — for a bounded period, run this instance in parallel
+   with whatever tool-calling path is currently in production, comparing
+   outputs on the same real traffic (or a recorded sample) without letting
+   this instance's outputs actually drive tool execution. Only cut over
+   once outputs are consistently correct.
+
+See the `llm-inference-homelab` skill's `scripts/tool-calling-validation.sh`
+reference for a starting curl harness shape — adapt prompts/tool schemas to
+Mistral-Small's actual expected format (confirm via the GGUF's embedded
+chat template / model card) rather than assuming it matches Qwen's.
+
+## Log
+
+| Date | Run by | Probe result | Hallucination test result | Shadow mode outcome | Decision |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| _(pending)_ | | | | | Not yet cut over — do not point production tool-calling traffic at :8001 |
+
+Update this table after each validation pass. Do not remove prior rows —
+this is the audit trail for "when did we decide this was safe to use."

+# DESCRIPTION: Phase 0 — READ-ONLY fact gathering on how the existing Gemma
+#              llama-server is actually managed on astro-orbiter TODAY.
+#
+#              Per plan §0/§4: "Service management: unverified — plan requires
+#              confirming systemd unit exists before touching anything.
+#              Do not assume." This file performs that confirmation. It makes
+#              NO changes to the host — no `state: present/started/stopped`,
+#              no file writes, no service actions. Every task here is either
+#              a `_facts` module, a `command`/`shell` in check-safe read mode,
+#              or a `stat`.
+#
+#              Outcomes recorded as facts for later phases/for a human to read
+#              in the play recap — this file does not branch role behavior
+#              on the result (that would be over-engineering a role meant to
+#              run once); it surfaces what's true so a human confirms before
+#              Phase 2 proceeds.

+```
+1. User → POST /v1/scrape {"url": "https://example.com"}
+   │
+2. API validates request
+   │
+3. API creates job in PostgreSQL (nuq.queue_scrape)
+   │
+4. API queues job in Redis
+   │
+5. RabbitMQ notifies workers
+   │
+6. Worker picks up job
+   │
+7. Worker calls Playwright service
+   │  └─► Playwright launches Chromium
+   │      └─► Renders page (handles JS)
+   │          └─► Returns HTML
+   │
+8. Worker converts HTML → Markdown (Go library)
+   │
+9. Worker stores result in PostgreSQL (returnvalue column)
+   │
+10. Worker updates job status: completed
+    │
+11. API returns result to user
+    └─► {"markdown": "...", "html": "...", "metadata": {...}}

+```
+
+---
+
+## Playwright-Specific Variables
+
+Set on `playwright-service` pods only:
+
+```yaml
+PORT: "3000"                       # Playwright service port
+PROXY_SERVER: ""                   # Same as API proxy (if needed)

+
+---
+
+## Environment-Specific Variables
+
+### Development
+```yaml
+ENV: "local"
+```
+
+### Production
+```yaml
+ENV: "production"
+```
+
+---
+
+## FlyIO-Specific Variables (Not Used in K8s)
+
+These variables are set by FlyIO platform and not needed for Kubernetes deployment:
+
+```yaml
+FLY_PROCESS_GROUP: "app"           # Not used in K8s
+```
+
+---
+
+## Deprecated / Unused Variables
+
+Variables found in examples but not required for self-hosted deployment:
+
+```yaml
+AUTUMN_SECRET_KEY: ""              # Mendable platform-specific
+SELF_HOSTED_WEBHOOK_URL: ""        # Custom webhook endpoint
+LLAMAPARSE_API_KEY: ""             # PDF parsing service (optional)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Variable Precedence
+
+1. **ExternalSecret** (from 1Password) - Highest priority for secrets
+2. **ConfigMap** - Non-sensitive configuration
+3. **Deployment env:** - Direct environment variables (override)
+4. **Dockerfile defaults** - Lowest priority
+
+---
+
+## ConfigMap Example
+
+Non-sensitive variables suitable for ConfigMap:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: firecrawl-config
+  namespace: firecrawl
+data:
+  # Service URLs
+  REDIS_URL: "redis://redis:6379"
+  REDIS_RATE_LIMIT_URL: "redis://redis:6379"
+  POSTGRES_HOST: "nuq-postgres"
+  POSTGRES_PORT: "5432"
+  POSTGRES_USER: "postgres"
+  POSTGRES_DB: "postgres"
+  NUQ_RABBITMQ_URL: "amqp://rabbitmq:5672"
+  PLAYWRIGHT_MICROSERVICE_URL: "http://playwright-service:3000/scrape"
+  
+  # Server Configuration
+  HOST: "0.0.0.0"
+  PORT: "3002"
+  WORKER_PORT: "3005"
+  EXTRACT_WORKER_PORT: "3004"
+  USE_DB_AUTHENTICATION: "false"
+  ENV: "production"
+  
+  # Performance Tuning
+  NUM_WORKERS_PER_QUEUE: "8"
+  CRAWL_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS: "10"
+  MAX_CONCURRENT_JOBS: "5"
+  BROWSER_POOL_SIZE: "5"
+  MAX_CONCURRENT_PAGES: "10"
+  HARNESS_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_MS: "60000"
+  
+  # Logging
+  LOGGING_LEVEL: "info"
+  
+  # Security
+  ALLOW_LOCAL_WEBHOOKS: "false"
+```
+
+---
+
+## ExternalSecret Example
+
+Sensitive variables synced from 1Password:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1beta1
+kind: ExternalSecret
+metadata:
+  name: firecrawl-secrets
+  namespace: firecrawl
+spec:
+  refreshInterval: 1h
+  secretStoreRef:
+    name: onepassword-connect
+    kind: ClusterSecretStore
+  target:
+    name: firecrawl-secrets
+    creationPolicy: Owner
+  data:
+    # Required secrets
+    - secretKey: POSTGRES_PASSWORD
+      remoteRef:
+        key: firecrawl
+        property: postgres-password
+    
+    - secretKey: BULL_AUTH_KEY
+      remoteRef:
+        key: firecrawl
+        property: bull-auth-key
+    
+    # Optional secrets (uncomment when added to 1Password)
+    # - secretKey: OPENAI_API_KEY
+    #   remoteRef:
+    #     key: firecrawl
+    #     property: openai-api-key
+    
+    # - secretKey: TEST_API_KEY
+    #   remoteRef:
+    #     key: firecrawl
+    #     property: test-api-key
+```
+
+---
+
+## Usage in Deployments
+
+### Combining ConfigMap and Secret
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:
+  name: api
+  namespace: firecrawl
+spec:
+  template:
+    spec:
+      containers:
+        - name: api
+          image: the-seas.local.mk-labs.cloud/applications/firecrawl-api:latest
+          envFrom:
+            # Load all non-sensitive variables
+            - configMapRef:
+                name: firecrawl-config
+            # Load all secrets
+            - secretRef:
+                name: firecrawl-secrets
+          env:
+            # Override specific variables if needed
+            - name: FLY_PROCESS_GROUP
+              value: "app"
+```
+
+### Playwright-Specific ConfigMap
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: playwright-service-config
+  namespace: firecrawl
+data:
+  PORT: "3000"
+  ALLOW_LOCAL_WEBHOOKS: "false"
+  MAX_CONCURRENT_PAGES: "10"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+Before deployment, ensure:
+
+- [ ] `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` set in 1Password
+- [ ] `BULL_AUTH_KEY` set in 1Password (strong random value)
+- [ ] All service URLs use correct K8s service names
+- [ ] Ports match service definitions (3002, 3000, 5432, 6379, 5672)
+- [ ] `USE_DB_AUTHENTICATION` is "false" (Supabase not available)
+- [ ] `ENV` is "production" (not "local")
+- [ ] Worker pool sizes appropriate for cluster capacity
+- [ ] `ALLOW_LOCAL_WEBHOOKS` is "false" (security)
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Supabase client is not configured"
+**Expected warning** - Supabase is not available for self-hosted instances. Safe to ignore.
+
+### "You're bypassing authentication"
+**Expected warning** - When `USE_DB_AUTHENTICATION=false`. Normal for self-hosted deployment.
+
+### Connection refused errors
+**Check:**
+- Service names match environment variables
+- Services are running: `kubectl get svc -n firecrawl`
+- Pods are ready: `kubectl get pods -n firecrawl`
+
+### Build failures
+**Check:**
+- Required build args are set
+- Kaniko has sufficient memory (4GB for API build)
+
+---
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Generate strong secrets:**
+   ```bash
+   # Generate BULL_AUTH_KEY
+   openssl rand -base64 32
+   
+   # Generate POSTGRES_PASSWORD
+   openssl rand -base64 24
+   ```
+
+2. **Never expose PostgreSQL externally:**
+   - Use ClusterIP service only
+   - No LoadBalancer or NodePort
+   - Access via kubectl port-forward for maintenance
+
+3. **Protect admin UI:**
+   - Keep BULL_AUTH_KEY secret
+   - Don't commit to git
+   - Rotate periodically
+
+4. **Use ExternalSecrets:**
+   - Never put secrets in ConfigMaps
+   - Never commit secrets to git
+   - Store all sensitive data in 1Password

+# Firecrawl - Web Scraping & Crawling Service
+
+**Project:** Platform Buildout - Firecrawl Deployment  
+**Service Name:** Spaceship Earth (EPCOT themed)  
+**DNS:** spaceship-earth.local.mk-labs.cloud (primary), firecrawl.local.mk-labs.cloud (alias)  
+**Namespace:** firecrawl  
+**Owner:** Rocket Raccoon (CI/CD Specialist)  
+**Status:** 🚧 IN PROGRESS - Day 1 Complete
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Firecrawl is a self-hosted web scraping and crawling API that converts URLs to LLM-ready content (Markdown, JSON, HTML). This deployment enables JARVIS web search capability.
+
+**Upstream:** https://github.com/mendableai/firecrawl  
+**License:** AGPLv3 (open source)
+
+### Capabilities
+- **Search:** Search the web and get full page content
+- **Scrape:** Convert URLs to markdown, HTML, screenshots, or structured JSON
+- **Crawl:** Scrape all URLs of a website with a single request
+- **Interact:** Click, scroll, write, wait before extracting (JS-heavy sites)
+- **Map:** Discover all URLs on a website
+
+---
+
+## Architecture

+
+### Service Dependencies
+
+```
+API Service ─┬─► Redis (queue/cache)
+             ├─► PostgreSQL (data storage)
+             ├─► RabbitMQ (message broker) ⚠️ HEALTH CHECK REQUIRED
+             └─► Playwright Service (browser automation)
+
+Worker ──────┬─► Redis
+             ├─► PostgreSQL
+             └─► RabbitMQ
+
+NUQ Worker ──┴─► PostgreSQL
+```
+
+**Startup Order:**
+1. Redis, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ (infrastructure)
+2. Playwright Service
+3. API, Workers (after all dependencies ready)
+
+---
+
+## Build Strategy
+
+**Hybrid Approach:** Build custom images via Tekton, use upstream for infrastructure.
+
+### Custom Builds (Tekton → Harbor)
+
+1. **firecrawl-api** (Multi-stage: Go + Node.js + Rust)
+   - Source: `apps/api/Dockerfile`
+   - Registry: `the-seas.local.mk-labs.cloud/applications/firecrawl-api:latest`
+   - Build time: ~15 minutes (first), ~5 minutes (cached)
+   - Used by: API, Worker, NUQ Worker (different entrypoints)
+
+2. **firecrawl-playwright** (Node.js + Chromium)
+   - Source: `apps/playwright-service-ts/Dockerfile`
+   - Registry: `the-seas.local.mk-labs.cloud/applications/firecrawl-playwright:latest`
+   - Build time: ~10 minutes
+
+3. **firecrawl-postgres** (PostgreSQL + pg_cron + init script)
+   - Source: `apps/nuq-postgres/Dockerfile`
+   - Registry: `the-seas.local.mk-labs.cloud/applications/firecrawl-postgres:latest`
+   - Build time: ~3 minutes
+   - Note: Custom build required for pg_cron extension and nuq.sql schema
+

+
+---
+
+## Tekton Pipelines
+
+Build pipelines located in `cluster/tekton/pipelines/`:
+- `firecrawl-api-build.yaml` - API service build
+- `firecrawl-playwright-build.yaml` - Playwright service build
+- `firecrawl-postgres-build.yaml` - PostgreSQL build
+
+**Trigger Builds:**
+```bash
+# API build
+kubectl create -f cluster/tekton/pipelines/firecrawl-api-build.yaml
+
+# Playwright build
+kubectl create -f cluster/tekton/pipelines/firecrawl-playwright-build.yaml
+
+# PostgreSQL build
+kubectl create -f cluster/tekton/pipelines/firecrawl-postgres-build.yaml
+```
+
+**Monitor Builds:**
+```bash
+# List pipeline runs
+tkn pipelinerun list -n innoventions
+
+# Watch logs
+tkn pipelinerun logs -f <pipelinerun-name> -n innoventions
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### API Pod Not Starting
+**Check:**
+1. RabbitMQ health status (API depends on healthy RabbitMQ)
+2. Environment variables (ConfigMap and Secret)
+3. Database connectivity (PostgreSQL)
+
+**Commands:**
+```bash
+kubectl logs -n firecrawl deployment/api
+kubectl describe pod -n firecrawl -l app=api
+kubectl get externalsecret -n firecrawl
+```
+
+### Build Failures
+**Check:**
+1. Harbor connectivity
+2. Harbor credentials secret
+3. Build resource limits (increase if OOM)
+
+**Commands:**
+```bash
+tkn pipelinerun describe <name> -n innoventions
+kubectl logs -n innoventions <kaniko-pod>
+```
+
+### Database Connection Errors
+**Check:**
+1. PostgreSQL pod status
+2. PVC binding
+3. Init script execution
+
+**Commands:**
+```bash
+kubectl logs -n firecrawl statefulset/nuq-postgres
+kubectl exec -it -n firecrawl nuq-postgres-0 -- psql -U postgres -d postgres -c '\d nuq.queue_scrape'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Monitoring
+
+**Resource Usage:**
+```bash
+kubectl top pods -n firecrawl
+```
+
+**Service Health:**
+```bash
+# API liveness
+curl -k https://spaceship-earth.local.mk-labs.cloud/v0/health/liveness
+
+# API readiness
+curl -k https://spaceship-earth.local.mk-labs.cloud/v0/health/readiness
+
+# Playwright health
+kubectl exec -n firecrawl deployment/playwright-service -- curl localhost:3000/health
+```
+
+**Queue Status:**
+Navigate to: https://spaceship-earth.local.mk-labs.cloud/admin/[BULL_AUTH_KEY]/queues
+
+---
+
+## Security Notes
+
+1. **PostgreSQL Credentials:** Stored in 1Password, synced via ExternalSecret
+2. **Admin UI:** Protected by BULL_AUTH_KEY (in URL path)
+3. **Database Port:** NOT exposed outside cluster (ClusterIP only)
+4. **TLS:** All external traffic encrypted via cert-manager certificates
+5. **RBAC:** Service accounts scoped to firecrawl namespace

+# Journey Into Imagination — Minecraft Server Deployment Plan
+
+**Application:** PaperMC Minecraft Server  
+**Namespace:** `minecraft`  
+**Deployment name:** `papermc`  
+**Service / DNS name:** `journey-into-imagination`  
+**ArgoCD path:** `cluster/applications/minecraft/`  
+**Reviewed:** _Pending Ryan approval_
+
+---
+
+## Version Pinning
+
+| Component | Version |
+|-----------|---------|
+| itzg/minecraft-server image | `2026.7.0` |
+| PaperMC (Minecraft version) | `1.21.4` (build 232 — last stable 1.21.x) |
+| SleepMost plugin | `5.6.2` (auto-downloaded at server start) |
+
+> **Note on PaperMC versioning:** PaperMC migrated to a new version scheme (`26.x`) as of mid-2026. The task requested 1.21.x, so we pin `VERSION=1.21.4`. When you're ready to upgrade to the latest stable, change `VERSION` in `deployment.yaml` and `configmap.yaml` to `26.2` and bump the image tag to the latest `itzg/minecraft-server` release. Check plugin compatibility (SleepMost) before upgrading.
+
+---
+
+## Storage
+
+- **StorageClass:** `pure-block` (confirmed live — `kubectl get storageclass`)
+- **PVC size:** 50Gi — expandable via Pure Storage CSI if the world grows
+- **Mount:** `/data` inside the container (worlds, plugins, configs all live here)
+
+---
+
+## Networking Architecture
+
+```
+Internet (players)
+    |
+    | DNS: journey-into-imagination.mk-labs.cloud → WAN IP (Cloudflare A record)
+    |
+UniFi UDM Pro
+    | Port Forward: WAN:25565 → 10.1.71.80:25565 (TCP)
+    |
+ingress-nginx LoadBalancer (10.1.71.80)
+    | tcp-services ConfigMap: 25565 → minecraft/journey-into-imagination:25565
+    |
+journey-into-imagination Service (ClusterIP, minecraft namespace)
+    |
+papermc Pod (port 25565)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites — Manual Steps Before Deploying
+
+### 1. Generate a real RCON password
+
+```bash
+# Generate a secure password
+openssl rand -base64 24
+# Output example: abc123... (save this — you'll need it)
+
+# Base64-encode it for the Secret
+echo -n 'YOUR_GENERATED_PASSWORD' | base64
+```
+
+Edit `cluster/applications/minecraft/secret.yaml` and replace the placeholder value:
+```yaml
+data:
+  rcon-password: <your-base64-encoded-password>
+```
+
+> ⚠️  Do NOT commit real credentials in plaintext. If this is a concern long-term,
+> migrate to ExternalSecrets + 1Password (Day 2 operation).
+
+### 2. UniFi Port Forward (Ryan — manual step)
+
+In UniFi Network → Firewall & Security → Port Forwarding:
+- **Name:** `minecraft-papermc`
+- **Protocol:** TCP
+- **External Port:** 25565
+- **Internal IP:** 10.1.71.80 (ingress-nginx LoadBalancer)
+- **Internal Port:** 25565
+- **Enabled:** Yes
+
+### 3. Cloudflare DNS Records (Ryan — manual step)
+
+In Cloudflare Dashboard → mk-labs.cloud zone:
+
+**A Record (public server address):**
+| Type | Name | Value | Proxy |
+|------|------|-------|-------|
+| A | `journey-into-imagination` | `<your-WAN-IP>` | DNS only (gray cloud) |
+
+> Minecraft uses raw TCP — Cloudflare proxy (orange cloud) will NOT work.
+> Use DNS-only mode (gray cloud).
+
+**SRV Record (allows clients to connect without specifying port):**
+| Type | Name | Service | Proto | Priority | Weight | Port | Target |
+|------|------|---------|-------|----------|--------|------|--------|
+| SRV | `_minecraft._tcp.journey-into-imagination` | `_minecraft` | `_tcp` | 0 | 5 | 25565 | `journey-into-imagination.mk-labs.cloud` |
+
+> The SRV record allows players to connect using `journey-into-imagination.mk-labs.cloud`
+> without specifying `:25565`. Most modern Minecraft clients resolve SRV records.
+
+### 4. Internal DNS (Technitium — automated via ExternalDNS)
+
+The Service in `service.yaml` has this annotation:
+```yaml
+external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: journey-into-imagination.local.mk-labs.cloud
+```
+
+ExternalDNS (Technitium provider) will create the internal A record automatically when ArgoCD syncs.
+No manual action required for internal DNS.
+
+---
+
+## Deployment Steps
+
+### Step 1: Update the RCON Secret
+
+Complete prerequisite #1 above, then commit the updated secret.
+
+### Step 2: Commit and Push to Gitea
+
+```bash
+cd ~/git/homelab
+git status   # review what changed
+git add cluster/applications/minecraft/ cluster/platform/ingress-nginx/values.yaml
+git commit -m "feat(minecraft): add Journey Into Imagination PaperMC server
+
+- Namespace, Deployment, Service (journey-into-imagination), PVC, Secret, ConfigMap
+- ArgoCD Application at cluster/applications/minecraft/
+- ingress-nginx TCP forwarding: 25565 -> minecraft/journey-into-imagination:25565
+- PaperMC 1.21.4, itzg/minecraft-server:2026.7.0, SleepMost 5.6.2
+- StorageClass: pure-block, 50Gi PVC for world data"
+
+git push
+```
+
+### Step 3: Verify ArgoCD Discovers and Syncs
+
+ArgoCD app-of-apps auto-discovers `cluster/applications/minecraft/application.yaml`.
+
+```bash
+# Watch ArgoCD pick it up (from carousel-of-progress)
+kubectl get application minecraft -n argocd -w
+
+# Or check ArgoCD UI at argocd.local.mk-labs.cloud
+```
+
+Wait for status: `Synced` / `Healthy`
+
+### Step 4: Watch the Pod Start Up
+
+First startup will download the PaperMC jar — this can take 2-3 minutes.
+
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -n minecraft -w
+
+# Tail the logs to watch PaperMC boot
+kubectl logs -n minecraft -l app.kubernetes.io/component=papermc -f
+```
+
+Look for:
+```
+[Server thread/INFO]: Done (X.XXXs)! For help, type "help"
+```
+
+### Step 5: Install SleepMost Plugin (auto via PLUGINS env var)
+
+The `PLUGINS` env var in the ConfigMap points to the SleepMost JAR download URL.
+itzg/minecraft-server downloads and installs it automatically on startup.
+
+Verify it loaded:
+```bash
+kubectl exec -n minecraft -it deployment/papermc -- rcon-cli
+# In rcon console:
+plugins
+# Should list: SleepMost
+```
+
+### Step 6: Verify Connectivity
+
+**Internal test (from carousel-of-progress):**
+```bash
+# Port probe — should succeed
+nc -zv journey-into-imagination.local.mk-labs.cloud 25565
+
+# Or via the ClusterIP directly
+kubectl get svc -n minecraft
+nc -zv <CLUSTER-IP> 25565
+```
+
+**External test (after UniFi port forward + DNS configured):**
+- Open Minecraft Java Edition
+- Add server: `journey-into-imagination.mk-labs.cloud`
+- Should connect and show MOTD: "Journey Into Imagination"
+
+---
+
+## Plugin Details
+
+### SleepMost v5.6.2
+
+- **Source:** https://github.com/mrgeneralq/sleep-most
+- **Download:** https://github.com/mrgeneralq/sleep-most/releases/download/v5.6.2/SleepMost-5.6.2.jar
+- **Compatibility:** PaperMC 1.8 through 1.21.x (use 5.6.2 for 1.21.x; 5.7.0+ drops backward compat)
+- **Configuration:** Lives at `/data/plugins/SleepMost/config.yml` after first boot
+
+Default behavior: configurable percentage of online players must sleep to skip night.
+To tune (exec into the pod after first start):
+```bash
+kubectl exec -n minecraft -it deployment/papermc -- bash
+cat /data/plugins/SleepMost/config.yml
+# Edit as needed, then /sleepmost reload in rcon
+```
+
+> **Geyser compatibility note:** SleepMost 5.x does NOT require Geyser to function.
+> If you add Geyser later for Bedrock crossplay, SleepMost is compatible.
+
+---
+
+## Day 2 Operations
+
+### Enabling the Whitelist
+
+When ready to lock the server to approved players:
+
+1. Edit `cluster/applications/minecraft/configmap.yaml`:
+   ```yaml
+   WHITE_LIST: "true"
+   ENFORCE_WHITELIST: "true"
+   ```
+
+2. Add players via RCON (live, no restart needed):
+   ```bash
+   kubectl exec -n minecraft -it deployment/papermc -- rcon-cli
+   whitelist add <player_name>
+   whitelist list
+   ```
+
+3. Commit the ConfigMap change for GitOps consistency.
+   Note: the Deployment will restart when the ConfigMap changes (env var reload).
+   Players will be briefly disconnected — plan accordingly.
+
+### Console / RCON Access
+
+```bash
+# Interactive RCON (from inside the pod)
+kubectl exec -n minecraft -it deployment/papermc -- rcon-cli
+
+# One-shot command
+kubectl exec -n minecraft -it deployment/papermc -- rcon-cli "list"
+kubectl exec -n minecraft -it deployment/papermc -- rcon-cli "say Server restarting in 5 minutes"
+```
+
+### Upgrading PaperMC Version
+
+1. Check PaperMC API: `curl -sA 'Mozilla/5.0' https://fill.papermc.io/v3/projects/paper/versions | head`
+2. Update `VERSION` in `deployment.yaml` env vars and the comment header
+3. Update image tag if a new `itzg/minecraft-server` release is out
+4. Verify SleepMost compatibility with the new version
+5. Commit, push — ArgoCD handles the rolling restart (Recreate strategy)
+
+### Expanding PVC Storage
+
+Pure Storage CSI supports online volume expansion:
+```bash
+kubectl patch pvc papermc-world-data -n minecraft \
+  -p '{"spec":{"resources":{"requests":{"storage":"100Gi"}}}}'
+```
+No pod restart required.
+
+### Backups
+
+No automated backup is configured in this skeleton.
+Recommended Day 2 addition: CronJob that runs `rcon-cli save-all` + `rcon-cli save-off`,
+copies `/data/world*` to a separate PVC or object store, then `rcon-cli save-on`.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Check |
+|---------|-------|
+| Pod stuck in `Init` / slow start | `kubectl logs -n minecraft -l app.kubernetes.io/component=papermc` — jar download may be slow |
+| Port 25565 connection refused externally | Verify UniFi port forward is active; `kubectl get svc -n minecraft` shows correct ClusterIP |
+| Players can't authenticate | `ONLINE_MODE=true` requires Mojang auth; check player has a valid Java account |
+| World data lost after pod restart | Verify PVC is `Bound`; check `pure-block` StorageClass is healthy |
+| EULA error in logs | `EULA=TRUE` is set in deployment.yaml — this should not occur; check env var injection |
+
+---
+
+## File Manifest Summary
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `namespace.yaml` | `minecraft` namespace |
+| `application.yaml` | ArgoCD Application (sync-wave 20) |
+| `pvc.yaml` | 50Gi pure-block PVC for world data |
+| `secret.yaml` | RCON password (⚠️ placeholder — update before deploy) |
+| `configmap.yaml` | server.properties overrides + SleepMost plugin download |
+| `deployment.yaml` | PaperMC Deployment (Recreate strategy, resource limits set) |
+| `service.yaml` | ClusterIP Service named `journey-into-imagination` |
+| `../../../platform/ingress-nginx/values.yaml` | Added `tcp: 25565` forwarding entry |

+# Minecraft world backup — hourly CronJob, 3-day local retention
+#
+# Strategy (two-tier):
+#   Short-term : this CronJob — hourly tarballs on papermc-backups PVC, 72-hour retention
+#   Long-term  : Pure FlashArray protection group snapshots on utilidor (managed separately)
+#
+# Backup sequence:
+#   1. RCON save-all  — flush all dirty chunks to disk
+#   2. RCON save-off  — pause auto-save to keep the world consistent during tar
+#   3. tar world directories to /backups/world-YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM.tar.gz
+#   4. RCON save-on   — re-enable auto-save
+#   5. Prune backups older than 3 days
+#
+# RCON password sourced from the papermc-rcon Secret (ESO-managed, same as server).
+# The backup pod mounts both PVCs read-write; world-data is safe because the
+# server has already quiesced saves via RCON before the tar runs.
+#
+# Note: both PVCs are RWO. The backup job runs only while the main server pod is
+# running (RCON is reachable), so there is no volume attach conflict — they are
+# mounted on the same node by the scheduler. If the server pod is down, the backup
+# job will fail at the RCON step, which is correct behavior (nothing to back up).

+# Plugin: sladkoff/minecraft-prometheus-exporter v3.1.2
+#
+# NOTE: Dashboard 20659 was written for exporter v1/v2 (no mc_ prefix).
+# Queries have been fixed for v3 metric names (mc_tps, mc_players_online_total, etc.)
+# Players score / Play time / Advancements panels show mc_players_total as placeholder —
+# per-player stat tracking metrics are not available in v3.

+# Talos iSCSI Configuration Fix - Deployment Summary
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-20  
+**Cluster:** fastpass  
+**Talos Version:** v1.13.2  
+**Purpose:** Fix iSCSI configuration for Portworx CSI / Pure Storage FlashArray integration
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The initial iSCSI configuration (commit f370213) caused worker nodes to fail boot with error:
+```
+writeUserFiles failed, rebooting in 35 minutes
+```
+
+This fix resolves the boot failure by:
+1. Removing problematic `/etc/iscsi` bind mount
+2. Adding explicit `nodeIP` configuration for dual-NIC workers
+3. Moving multipath configuration to post-boot DaemonSet
+4. Ensuring proper file operation semantics
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Updated talconfig.yaml
+
+**Location:** `~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper/talconfig.yaml`
+
+**Changes:**
+- ✅ Removed `/etc/iscsi` mount (iscsi-tools extension manages it)
+- ✅ Added `kubelet.nodeIP.validSubnets: [10.1.71.0/24]` for dual-NIC handling
+- ✅ Added `rw` option to `/var/lib/iscsi` mount
+- ✅ Removed `files` section with `/etc/multipath.conf` (moved to DaemonSet)
+- ✅ Kept kernel modules: iscsi_tcp, dm_multipath, dm_round_robin
+- ✅ Kept ARP sysctls for dual-NIC environment
+
+**Worker Patch (lines 115-156):**
+```yaml

+
+  patches:

+        kernel:
+          modules:
+            - name: iscsi_tcp
+            - name: dm_multipath
+            - name: dm_round_robin
+
+        kubelet:
+          nodeIP:
+            validSubnets:
+              - 10.1.71.0/24

+            - destination: /var/lib/iscsi
+              type: bind
+              source: /var/lib/iscsi
+              options:
+                - bind

+          net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce: "2"
+          net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore: "1"
+```
+
+### 2. Created iscsi-multipath-init.yaml
+
+**Location:** `~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper/iscsi-multipath-init.yaml`
+
+**Purpose:** DaemonSet that configures multipath.conf post-boot
+
+**Features:**
+- Runs on all worker nodes (nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker)
+- InitContainer writes `/etc/multipath.conf` with Pure Storage settings
+- Configures multipath blacklist for Portworx devices (pxd*)
+- Pause container keeps pod running to indicate configuration is applied
+- Privileged container with hostNetwork and hostPID for host access
+
+**Deployment:**
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f iscsi-multipath-init.yaml
+```
+
+### 3. Created apply-iscsi-fix.sh
+
+**Location:** `~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper/apply-iscsi-fix.sh`
+
+**Purpose:** Automated script to apply configuration to all worker nodes
+
+**Features:**
+- Regenerates Talos config with talhelper
+- Applies config to workers sequentially (one at a time)
+- Waits for each node to reboot and become Ready
+- Verifies iSCSI functionality after each update
+- Deploys multipath DaemonSet
+- Comprehensive error handling and status reporting
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+./apply-iscsi-fix.sh           # Apply changes
+./apply-iscsi-fix.sh --dry-run # Preview without applying
+```
+
+### 4. Created verify-iscsi.sh
+
+**Location:** `~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper/verify-iscsi.sh`
+
+**Purpose:** Verification script to check iSCSI configuration
+
+**Checks:**
+- Node Ready status
+- Node IP (should be 10.1.71.x, not 10.1.75.x)
+- System extensions installed
+- Kernel modules loaded
+- iscsid service status
+- Initiator name configured
+- /var/lib/iscsi accessibility
+- Multipath configuration
+- Network connectivity on ens19
+- Optional: FlashArray connectivity and discovery
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+./verify-iscsi.sh                    # Basic verification
+./verify-iscsi.sh 10.1.75.100        # With FlashArray connectivity test
+```
+
+### 5. Created ISCSI_CONFIG_FIX.md
+
+**Location:** `~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper/ISCSI_CONFIG_FIX.md`
+
+**Purpose:** Comprehensive documentation explaining:
+- Root cause of the writeUserFiles failure
+- Detailed explanation of each fix
+- Two configuration options (minimal and advanced)
+- Step-by-step application procedure
+- Verification commands
+- Portworx-specific considerations
+- Troubleshooting guide
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Why the Boot Failed
+
+1. **`/etc/iscsi` mount conflict:**
+   - `/etc/iscsi` is part of Talos read-only system partition
+   - iscsi-tools extension manages this directory automatically
+   - Explicit bind mount caused filesystem conflict during boot
+   - Talos couldn't write initiator configuration → boot failure
+
+2. **`/etc/multipath.conf` timing issue:**
+   - `op: create` writes files during early boot
+   - Target filesystem may not be writable yet
+   - Talos has strict boot sequence for security
+   - File writing at wrong time triggers writeUserFiles error
+
+3. **Dual NIC ambiguity:**
+   - Not directly causing boot failure
+   - But kubelet could select wrong interface (10.1.75.x instead of 10.1.71.x)
+   - Would cause pod networking issues
+   - Fixed with explicit nodeIP.validSubnets
+
+## Deployment Plan
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- [x] Configuration files reviewed
+- [ ] Current worker nodes are healthy
+- [ ] Cluster has capacity to lose one worker at a time
+- [ ] Backup of current talconfig.yaml committed to git
+- [ ] Access to talosctl and kubectl
+- [ ] Access to Kubernetes cluster
+
+### Execution Steps
+
+#### Phase 1: Preparation
+```bash
+cd ~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper
+
+# Review changes
+git diff HEAD talconfig.yaml
+
+# Dry run to preview
+./apply-iscsi-fix.sh --dry-run
+```
+
+#### Phase 2: Apply Configuration
+```bash
+# Apply to all worker nodes
+./apply-iscsi-fix.sh
+
+# This will:
+# 1. Regenerate configs
+# 2. Apply to jungle-cruise (wait for Ready)
+# 3. Apply to haunted-mansion (wait for Ready)
+# 4. Apply to peter-pans-flight (wait for Ready)
+# 5. Deploy multipath DaemonSet
+# 6. Run verification
+```
+
+Expected duration: ~20-30 minutes (3 nodes × 5-10 min reboot each)
+
+#### Phase 3: Verification
+```bash
+# Comprehensive verification (replace with FlashArray IP)
+./verify-iscsi.sh 10.1.75.100
+
+# Check node IPs
+kubectl get nodes -o wide
+
+# Expected: All workers show 10.1.71.x as INTERNAL-IP
+
+# Check multipath DaemonSet
+kubectl get daemonset -n kube-system iscsi-multipath-init
+kubectl get pods -n kube-system -l app=iscsi-multipath-init -o wide
+
+# Manual verification on one node
+talosctl -n 10.1.71.69 read /etc/multipath.conf
+talosctl -n 10.1.71.69 exec -- multipath -ll
+```
+
+#### Phase 4: Portworx Integration
+```bash
+# After verification, proceed with Portworx deployment
+# (if not already deployed)
+
+# Test iSCSI discovery from a worker
+talosctl -n 10.1.71.69 exec -- \
+  iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p <flasharray-iscsi-ip>
+
+# Expected: List of iSCSI targets from FlashArray
+```
+
+### Rollback Plan
+
+If issues occur:
+
+```bash
+# Revert talconfig.yaml to previous version
+cd ~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper
+git checkout HEAD^ -- talconfig.yaml
+
+# Regenerate and apply
+talhelper genconfig
+talosctl apply-config --file clusterconfig/fastpass-jungle-cruise.yaml \
+  --nodes 10.1.71.69
+
+# Wait for node Ready
+kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready node/jungle-cruise --timeout=10m
+
+# Repeat for other workers
+```
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+After deployment:
+
+- [ ] All worker nodes show Ready status
+- [ ] Node IPs are 10.1.71.x (not 10.1.75.x)
+- [ ] iscsi-tools extension loaded on all workers
+- [ ] Kernel modules (iscsi_tcp, dm_multipath, dm_round_robin) loaded
+- [ ] iscsid service running or ready to start
+- [ ] /var/lib/iscsi directory accessible
+- [ ] Unique initiator name on each node
+- [ ] multipath.conf exists with Pure Storage configuration
+- [ ] ens19 interface up with 10.1.75.x IP
+- [ ] Multipath DaemonSet running on all workers
+- [ ] iSCSI discovery to FlashArray succeeds
+- [ ] No boot errors in dmesg
+- [ ] No writeUserFiles errors
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. ✅ All worker nodes boot successfully without errors
+2. ✅ Kubelet binds to correct network (10.1.71.0/24)
+3. ✅ iSCSI functionality available for Portworx

+# Talos iSCSI Configuration Fix - Implementation Report
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-20  
+**Task:** Configure Talos Linux worker nodes for Portworx CSI iSCSI storage integration  
+**Status:** ✅ Configuration Fixed - Ready for Deployment  
+**Cluster:** fastpass (Talos v1.13.2)
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Successfully diagnosed and fixed the Talos worker node iSCSI configuration that was causing boot failures. The original configuration (commit f370213) attempted to mount `/etc/iscsi` and write `/etc/multipath.conf` during boot, triggering a `writeUserFiles failed` error.
+
+The fix removes problematic early-boot file operations, adds explicit dual-NIC handling, and moves multipath configuration to a post-boot DaemonSet approach.
+
+## Problem Analysis
+
+### Root Cause
+
+The boot failure was caused by three issues:
+
+1. **`/etc/iscsi` bind mount conflict**
+   - `/etc/iscsi` is managed by the iscsi-tools system extension
+   - Attempting to bind-mount it caused a filesystem conflict
+   - Talos couldn't write initiator configuration during boot
+   - Result: `writeUserFiles failed, rebooting in 35 minutes`
+
+2. **Early boot file writing**
+   - `op: create` for `/etc/multipath.conf` occurred during early boot
+   - Target filesystem not yet writable at that stage
+   - Violated Talos's strict boot sequence security model
+
+3. **Dual-NIC ambiguity**
+   - Workers have ens18 (10.1.71.x) and ens19 (10.1.75.x)
+   - Without explicit nodeIP, kubelet could select wrong interface
+   - Would cause pod networking issues
+
+### Failed Configuration (Commit f370213)
+
+```yaml
+worker:
+  patches:
+    - machine:
+        kubelet:
+          extraMounts:
+            - destination: /etc/iscsi          # ❌ BREAKS BOOT
+              type: bind
+              source: /etc/iscsi
+            - destination: /var/lib/iscsi
+              type: bind

+        
+        files:                                 # ❌ BREAKS BOOT
+          - path: /etc/multipath.conf
+            op: create
+            content: |
+              defaults { polling_interval 10 }
+              devices {
+                device {
+                  vendor "PURE"
+                  product "FlashArray"
+                  ...
+                }
+              }
+```
+
+**Error Result:**
+```

+
+### Key Changes
+
+| Component | Change | Reason |
+|-----------|--------|--------|
+| `/etc/iscsi` | **Removed mount** | iscsi-tools extension manages it automatically |
+| `/var/lib/iscsi` | **Added `rw` option** | Ensure iSCSI session data is writable |
+| `multipath.conf` | **Removed from files** | Moved to DaemonSet for post-boot configuration |
+| `nodeIP` | **Added validSubnets** | Force kubelet to bind to 10.1.71.0/24 (ens18) |
+
+### Post-Boot Multipath Configuration
+
+Created DaemonSet (`iscsi-multipath-init.yaml`) that:
+- Runs on all worker nodes after boot
+- Writes `/etc/multipath.conf` when filesystem is fully writable
+- Configures Pure Storage FlashArray settings
+- Blacklists Portworx virtual devices (pxd*)
+- Reloads multipathd configuration

+
+## Testing Recommendations
+
+### Phase 1: Single Node Test (Recommended)
+
+Before applying to all workers, test on one node:
+
+```bash
+# Edit apply-iscsi-fix.sh to only process jungle-cruise
+# Or manually apply:
+
+talhelper genconfig
+talosctl apply-config \
+  --file clusterconfig/fastpass-jungle-cruise.yaml \
+  --nodes 10.1.71.69
+
+# Wait and verify
+kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready node/jungle-cruise --timeout=10m
+./verify-iscsi.sh <flasharray-ip>
+
+# If successful, proceed with other nodes
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Full Deployment
+
+Once verified on one node, proceed with full deployment:
+
+```bash
+./apply-iscsi-fix.sh
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Portworx Integration
+
+After all workers are updated:
+
+```bash
+# Deploy Portworx CSI (if not already deployed)
+cd ~/git/homelab/cluster/platform/portworx-csi
+# Follow README.md
+
+# Test PVC creation
+kubectl apply -f - <<EOF

+# Talos iSCSI Configuration Fix for Portworx CSI
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+The `writeUserFiles failed` error occurred because:
+
+1. **`/etc/iscsi` bind mount issue**: Talos creates `/var/lib/iscsi` for the iSCSI initiator data, but `/etc/iscsi` is part of the read-only system partition. The iscsi-tools extension manages initiator configuration automatically; explicitly mounting `/etc/iscsi` is unnecessary and causes boot failures.
+
+2. **`/etc/multipath.conf` timing**: Writing files with `op: create` during early boot can fail if the target filesystem is not yet writable. Talos prefers system extensions to handle such configuration.
+
+3. **Dual NIC ambiguity**: With two NICs (ens18 for management, ens19 for iSCSI), kubelet needs explicit `nodeIP` configuration to avoid selecting the wrong interface.
+
+4. **Multipath daemon initialization**: The multipath.conf file needs to exist before multipathd starts, but Talos boot sequence is strict about when files can be written.
+
+## Fixed Configuration
+
+### Option 1: Minimal Safe Configuration (Recommended)
+
+This configuration enables iSCSI without breaking boot:
+
+```yaml
+worker:
+  schematic:
+    customization:
+      systemExtensions:
+        officialExtensions:
+          - siderolabs/qemu-guest-agent
+          - siderolabs/util-linux-tools
+          - siderolabs/iscsi-tools
+
+  patches:
+    - |-
+      machine:
+        # Load required kernel modules for iSCSI and multipath
+        kernel:
+          modules:
+            - name: iscsi_tcp
+            - name: dm_multipath
+            - name: dm_round_robin
+
+        # CRITICAL: Explicitly set nodeIP to primary network to avoid dual-NIC issues
+        kubelet:
+          nodeIP:
+            validSubnets:
+              - 10.1.71.0/24
+          
+          # Only mount /var/lib/iscsi (NOT /etc/iscsi)
+          # The iscsi-tools extension manages /etc/iscsi automatically
+          extraMounts:
+            - destination: /var/lib/iscsi
+              type: bind
+              source: /var/lib/iscsi
+              options:
+                - bind
+                - rshared
+                - rw
+
+        # ARP tuning for dual-NIC setup
+        sysctls:
+          net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce: "2"
+          net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore: "1"
+```
+
+**Why this works:**
+- ✅ No `/etc/iscsi` mount (extension handles it)
+- ✅ Only `/var/lib/iscsi` mounted (where iSCSI session data lives)
+- ✅ Explicit `nodeIP` to avoid kubelet binding to iSCSI network
+- ✅ No files written during boot (avoids writeUserFiles error)
+- ✅ Pure Storage multipath can be configured post-boot via DaemonSet
+
+### Option 2: With Multipath Configuration (Advanced)
+
+If you need multipath.conf at boot time (only needed if you have EXISTING iSCSI volumes before Portworx deploys):
+
+```yaml
+worker:
+  schematic:
+    customization:
+      systemExtensions:
+        officialExtensions:
+          - siderolabs/qemu-guest-agent
+          - siderolabs/util-linux-tools
+          - siderolabs/iscsi-tools
+
+  patches:
+    - |-
+      machine:
+        kernel:
+          modules:
+            - name: iscsi_tcp
+            - name: dm_multipath
+            - name: dm_round_robin
+
+        kubelet:
+          nodeIP:
+            validSubnets:
+              - 10.1.71.0/24
+          extraMounts:
+            - destination: /var/lib/iscsi
+              type: bind
+              source: /var/lib/iscsi
+              options:
+                - bind
+                - rshared
+                - rw
+
+        sysctls:
+          net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce: "2"
+          net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore: "1"
+        
+        # Use 'op: overwrite' instead of 'create' to avoid boot-time failures
+        # Place in /var/ which is writable, then link if needed
+        files:
+          - content: |
+              defaults {
+                  polling_interval 10
+                  find_multipaths yes
+                  user_friendly_names no
+              }
+              devices {
+                  device {
+                      vendor "PURE"
+                      product "FlashArray"
+                      path_selector "service-time 0"
+                      path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
+                      prio alua
+                      path_checker tur
+                      fast_io_fail_tmo 10
+                      user_friendly_names no
+                      no_path_retry 0
+                      hardware_handler "1 alua"
+                      dev_loss_tmo 600
+                      failback immediate
+                  }
+              }
+              # Blacklist Portworx virtual devices
+              blacklist {
+                  devnode "^pxd[0-9]*"
+              }
+            path: /var/etc/multipath.conf
+            permissions: 0644
+            op: overwrite
+```
+
+**Note:** With this approach, you'd need a startup service or init container to symlink `/var/etc/multipath.conf` to `/etc/multipath.conf`. However, **Option 1 is safer and sufficient** for Portworx, which can configure multipath dynamically.
+
+## Recommended Approach: Option 1 + Portworx DaemonSet Init
+
+**Use Option 1 (minimal config) and let Portworx handle multipath configuration via DaemonSet init containers.**
+
+Portworx CSI driver can deploy an init DaemonSet that:
+1. Configures multipath.conf post-boot
+2. Starts multipathd service
+3. Handles Pure Storage-specific tuning
+
+This is safer because:
+- ✅ No boot-time file writing
+- ✅ Configuration happens after filesystem is fully writable
+- ✅ Can be updated without rebooting nodes
+- ✅ Portworx team maintains the optimal multipath settings
+
+## Application Steps
+
+### 1. Apply the Fixed Configuration
+
+```bash
+cd ~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper
+```
+
+Edit `talconfig.yaml` and replace the worker section with **Option 1** above.
+
+### 2. Regenerate Talos Configuration
+
+```bash
+talhelper genconfig
+```
+
+### 3. Apply to Worker Nodes (One at a Time)
+
+```bash
+# jungle-cruise
+talosctl apply-config --file clusterconfig/fastpass-jungle-cruise.yaml --nodes 10.1.71.69
+
+# Wait for node to reboot and come back online
+kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready node/jungle-cruise --timeout=10m
+
+# haunted-mansion
+talosctl apply-config --file clusterconfig/fastpass-haunted-mansion.yaml --nodes 10.1.71.70
+kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready node/haunted-mansion --timeout=10m
+
+# peter-pans-flight
+talosctl apply-config --file clusterconfig/fastpass-peter-pans-flight.yaml --nodes 10.1.71.71
+kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready node/peter-pans-flight --timeout=10m
+```
+
+### 4. Verify iSCSI is Working
+
+After each node reboots:
+
+```bash
+NODE_IP=10.1.71.69  # Change for each node
+
+# Check iscsid service is running
+talosctl -n $NODE_IP service iscsid
+
+# Verify kernel modules loaded
+talosctl -n $NODE_IP read /proc/modules | grep -E "iscsi_tcp|dm_multipath|dm_round_robin"
+
+# Check initiator name is set (unique per node)
+talosctl -n $NODE_IP read /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
+
+# Verify /var/lib/iscsi exists and is writable
+talosctl -n $NODE_IP ls /var/lib/iscsi
+
+# Check kubelet is using correct nodeIP
+kubectl get node -o wide | grep jungle-cruise
+# Should show 10.1.71.69 as INTERNAL-IP, NOT 10.1.75.69
+```
+
+### 5. Configure Multipath (Post-Boot)
+
+Create a DaemonSet to configure multipath on all worker nodes:
+
+```bash
+cat > ~/git/homelab/talos/iscsi-multipath-init.yaml <<'EOF'
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: DaemonSet
+metadata:
+  name: iscsi-multipath-init
+  namespace: kube-system

+  selector:
+    matchLabels:
+      app: iscsi-multipath-init

+    spec:
+      hostNetwork: true
+      hostPID: true
+      nodeSelector:
+        node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: ""
+      initContainers:
+      - name: configure-multipath
+        image: alpine:3.18
+        securityContext:
+          privileged: true
+        command:
+        - sh
+        - -c
+        - |
+          cat > /host/etc/multipath.conf <<'MPCONF'
+          defaults {
+              polling_interval 10
+              find_multipaths yes
+              user_friendly_names no
+          }
+          devices {
+              device {
+                  vendor "PURE"
+                  product "FlashArray"
+                  path_selector "service-time 0"
+                  path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
+                  prio alua
+                  path_checker tur
+                  fast_io_fail_tmo 10
+                  user_friendly_names no
+                  no_path_retry 0
+                  hardware_handler "1 alua"
+                  dev_loss_tmo 600
+                  failback immediate
+              }
+          }
+          blacklist {
+              devnode "^pxd[0-9]*"
+          }
+          MPCONF
+          
+          echo "Multipath configuration applied"
+          nsenter -t 1 -m -u -i -n -- multipath -ll || true
+        volumeMounts:
+        - name: host-etc
+          mountPath: /host/etc
+      containers:
+      - name: pause
+        image: registry.k8s.io/pause:3.9
+      volumes:
+      - name: host-etc
+        hostPath:
+          path: /etc
+          type: Directory
+EOF
+
+kubectl apply -f ~/git/homelab/talos/iscsi-multipath-init.yaml
+```
+
+Wait for DaemonSet to run on all workers:
+
+```bash
+kubectl rollout status daemonset/iscsi-multipath-init -n kube-system
+```
+
+### 6. Verify Multipath Configuration
+
+```bash
+for node in 10.1.71.69 10.1.71.70 10.1.71.71; do
+  echo "=== Checking $node ==="
+  talosctl -n $node read /etc/multipath.conf
+  talosctl -n $node exec -- multipath -ll
+done
+```
+
+## Portworx-Specific Considerations
+
+### 1. Ensure Portworx Uses Correct Network
+
+Portworx should use the **iSCSI network (10.1.75.x)** for storage traffic. Configure this in the Portworx StorageCluster CR:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: core.libopenstorage.org/v1
+kind: StorageCluster
+metadata:
+  name: px-cluster-fastpass
+  namespace: portworx
+spec:
+  network:
+    dataInterface: ens19     # iSCSI network
+    mgmtInterface: ens18     # Management network
+```
+
+### 2. Node Labels for Storage Network
+
+Label worker nodes to indicate iSCSI capability:
+
+```bash
+kubectl label node jungle-cruise storage-network=iscsi
+kubectl label node haunted-mansion storage-network=iscsi
+kubectl label node peter-pans-flight storage-network=iscsi
+```
+
+### 3. Verify Pure FlashArray Connectivity
+
+From any worker node:
+
+```bash
+# Discover iSCSI targets (replace with your FlashArray iSCSI IP)
+talosctl -n 10.1.71.69 exec -- iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p <flasharray-iscsi-ip>
+
+# Example with 10.1.75.100 as FlashArray iSCSI endpoint
+talosctl -n 10.1.71.69 exec -- iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 10.1.75.100
+```
+
+Expected output:
+```
+10.1.75.100:3260,1 iqn.2010-06.com.purestorage:flasharray.xxxxx
+10.1.75.101:3260,2 iqn.2010-06.com.purestorage:flasharray.xxxxx
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### If Boot Still Fails
+
+1. **Remove all files sections** and use only Option 1
+2. **Check Talos logs during boot:**
+   ```bash
+   talosctl -n <node-ip> dmesg | grep -i "write\|fail\|error"
+   talosctl -n <node-ip> logs controller-runtime
+   ```
+
+### If Kubelet Uses Wrong IP
+
+Check node internal IP:
+```bash
+kubectl get nodes -o wide
+```
+
+If showing 10.1.75.x instead of 10.1.71.x, the `nodeIP.validSubnets` didn't apply. Verify talconfig.yaml and regenerate.
+
+### If iSCSI Sessions Don't Connect
+
+```bash
+# Check iscsid is running
+talosctl -n <node-ip> service iscsid
+
+# Check kernel modules
+talosctl -n <node-ip> exec -- lsmod | grep iscsi_tcp
+
+# Try manual discovery
+talosctl -n <node-ip> exec -- iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p <flasharray-ip>
+
+# Check for firewall issues on ens19
+talosctl -n <node-ip> exec -- ping <flasharray-ip>
+```
+
+## Summary of Changes
+
+| Issue | Old Config | New Config |
+|-------|-----------|-----------|
+| `/etc/iscsi` mount | ✗ Mounted (causes boot failure) | ✓ Removed (extension manages it) |
+| `/var/lib/iscsi` mount | ✓ Correct | ✓ Kept with `rw` option |
+| `multipath.conf` | ✗ Written at boot with `op: create` | ✓ Applied post-boot via DaemonSet |
+| Dual NIC handling | ✗ No nodeIP specified | ✓ `nodeIP.validSubnets` set to 10.1.71.0/24 |
+| File operation | `op: create` | N/A (moved to DaemonSet) |

+
+**Status:** Node NotReady since 2026-06-20 22:01 CDT  
+**Root Cause:** multipath.conf in machine.files causes boot failure  
+**Fix Applied:** Commit d2b6d95 - removed multipath.conf from machine.files  
+

+
+## Problem Summary
+
+### What Happened
+
+1. **21:56 CDT** - Commit adc415e added `/etc/multipath.conf` to `machine.files` section

+
+### Root Cause
+
+Writing `/etc/multipath.conf` during Talos early boot via `machine.files` causes:
+```
+[talos] writeUserFiles failed: permission denied (read-only filesystem)

+The multipath.conf was correctly REMOVED in commit e8303d5 (with DaemonSet solution), but was inadvertently RE-ADDED in commit adc415e to fix PX-CSI node driver crash.
+
+---
+
+## Current State
+
+### Node Status
+```bash
+$ kubectl get node jungle-cruise
+NAME            STATUS     ROLES    AGE   VERSION
+jungle-cruise   NotReady   worker   47h   v1.32.3
+
+$ kubectl describe node jungle-cruise | grep Ready
+Ready                Unknown   ... NodeStatusUnknown   Kubelet stopped posting node status.
+```
+
+### Network Status
+- ✅ Node is pingable (10.1.71.69)
+- ✅ Talos API port is open (50000/tcp)
+- ❌ SSH not available (Talos doesn't run SSH)
+- ❌ Kubelet not posting status since 03:01:12Z
+
+### Pods on Node
+- All system pods (cilium, kube-proxy, etc.) are Pending
+- Cannot be scheduled due to Node NotReady
+
+---
+
+## Fix Applied
+
+**Commit:** d2b6d95  
+**Date:** 2026-06-20 22:07 CDT  
+**Changes:** Removed `machine.files` section containing multipath.conf from talconfig.yaml
+
+```diff
+-        # Write multipath.conf for PX-CSI
+-        files:
+-          - content: |
+-              defaults { ... }
+-              devices { ... }
+-            path: /etc/multipath.conf
+-            permissions: 0644
++        # (removed - use DaemonSet instead)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Recovery Procedure
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- [ ] Access to talosctl with valid talosconfig (from city-hall or control plane)
+- [ ] SOPS/age keys to decrypt talsecret.sops.yaml (if regenerating configs)
+- [ ] OR access to existing clusterconfig/ directory with pre-generated configs
+
+### Option A: Apply Fixed Config (Preferred)
+
+If you have existing clusterconfig/ or can regenerate:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper
+
+# If clusterconfig/ doesn't exist, regenerate (requires SOPS keys)
+talhelper genconfig
+
+# Apply the fixed configuration to jungle-cruise
+talosctl apply-config \
+  --file clusterconfig/fastpass-jungle-cruise.yaml \
+  --nodes 10.1.71.69
+
+# Wait for node to reboot and become Ready
+kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready node/jungle-cruise --timeout=10m
+```
+
+### Option B: Force Reboot (Quick Recovery)
+
+If the node is stuck in a boot loop, a simple reboot might clear the bad state:
+
+```bash
+# Via talosctl
+talosctl --nodes 10.1.71.69 reboot
+
+# OR via Proxmox (if talosctl unavailable)
+# Find VM ID and reboot from Proxmox UI or CLI
+```
+
+After reboot, the node should come back with its previous (working) configuration, since the bad config hasn't been permanently written.
+
+### Option C: Full Config Regeneration
+
+If clusterconfig/ is missing:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper
+
+# Ensure SOPS age key is available
+export SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE=~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt
+
+# Regenerate all configs
+talhelper genconfig
+
+# Apply to jungle-cruise only
+talosctl apply-config \
+  --file clusterconfig/fastpass-jungle-cruise.yaml \
+  --nodes 10.1.71.69
+
+# Monitor
+kubectl get nodes -w
+```
+
+---
+
+## Post-Recovery Steps
+
+### 1. Verify Node is Healthy
+
+```bash
+# Check node status
+kubectl get nodes -o wide
+# jungle-cruise should show Ready with INTERNAL-IP 10.1.71.69
+
+# Verify system pods are running
+kubectl get pods -n kube-system -o wide | grep jungle-cruise
+```
+
+### 2. Deploy multipath.conf DaemonSet
+
+```bash
+cd ~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper
+
+# Deploy the DaemonSet that writes multipath.conf POST-boot
+kubectl apply -f iscsi-multipath-init.yaml
+
+# Verify it's running
+kubectl get pods -n kube-system -l app=iscsi-multipath-init -o wide
+```
+
+### 3. Verify iSCSI Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Check multipath config was written
+talosctl --nodes 10.1.71.69 read /etc/multipath.conf
+
+# Verify kernel modules
+talosctl --nodes 10.1.71.69 read /proc/modules | grep -E "iscsi|multipath"
+
+# Check iscsid service
+talosctl --nodes 10.1.71.69 service iscsid
+```
+
+### 4. Test PX-CSI
+
+Once multipath.conf is deployed via DaemonSet:
+
+```bash
+# Check PX-CSI node-plugin logs
+kubectl logs -n portworx -l name=portworx-node -c node-plugin | grep multipath
+
+# Should no longer see: "/etc/multipath.conf not found"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Why This Fix Works
+
+### ❌ BROKEN: machine.files (Early Boot)
+```yaml
+worker:
+  patches:
+    - machine:
+        files:  # Writes during early boot → FAILS on read-only FS
+          - path: /etc/multipath.conf
+            content: |
+              ...
+```
+
+### ✅ FIXED: DaemonSet (Post-Boot)
+```yaml
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: DaemonSet
+metadata:
+  name: iscsi-multipath-init
+  namespace: kube-system
+spec:
+  template:
+    spec:
+      initContainers:
+      - name: configure-multipath
+        command:
+        - sh
+        - -c
+        - |
+          # Writes AFTER boot when FS is fully writable
+          cat > /host/etc/multipath.conf <<'MPCONF'
+          ...
+          MPCONF
+```
+
+**Key Difference:**
+- `machine.files` writes during early boot when `/etc` may be read-only
+- DaemonSet writes after Kubernetes is up and filesystem is fully writable

+## Lessons Learned
+
+1. **NEVER write files during Talos boot** - Use DaemonSets for post-boot configuration
+2. **NEVER mount `/etc/iscsi`** - iscsi-tools extension manages it
+3. **ALWAYS specify `nodeIP.validSubnets`** for dual-NIC setups
+4. **Keep git history clean** - Easy rollback saved us here
+5. **Test on one node first** - Should have tested DaemonSet approach before reverting

+# Talos iSCSI Quick Reference
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+cd ~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper
+
+# Apply the fix
+./apply-iscsi-fix.sh
+
+# Verify after deployment
+./verify-iscsi.sh <flasharray-iscsi-ip>
+```
+
+## What Changed
+
+| Component | Before (BROKEN) | After (FIXED) |
+|-----------|----------------|---------------|
+| `/etc/iscsi` mount | ✗ Mounted → boot failure | ✓ Removed |
+| `/var/lib/iscsi` mount | `bind, rshared` | `bind, rshared, rw` |
+| Multipath config | Written at boot | DaemonSet post-boot |
+| Node IP | Auto-selected (wrong) | Explicit `10.1.71.0/24` |
+| Boot result | **FAILS** | **WORKS** |
+
+## Key Commands
+
+### Check Node Status
+```bash
+kubectl get nodes -o wide
+# All workers should show 10.1.71.x as INTERNAL-IP
+```
+
+### Verify iSCSI on a Node
+```bash
+NODE_IP=10.1.71.69
+
+# Service status
+talosctl -n $NODE_IP service iscsid
+
+# Modules loaded
+talosctl -n $NODE_IP read /proc/modules | grep -E "iscsi|multipath"
+
+# Initiator name
+talosctl -n $NODE_IP read /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
+
+# Multipath config
+talosctl -n $NODE_IP read /etc/multipath.conf
+
+# Multipath devices
+talosctl -n $NODE_IP exec -- multipath -ll
+```
+
+### Test FlashArray Discovery
+```bash
+# Replace with your FlashArray iSCSI IP
+FLASHARRAY_IP=10.1.75.100
+
+talosctl -n 10.1.71.69 exec -- \
+  iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p $FLASHARRAY_IP
+```
+
+### Check Multipath DaemonSet
+```bash
+kubectl get daemonset -n kube-system iscsi-multipath-init
+kubectl get pods -n kube-system -l app=iscsi-multipath-init -o wide
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Node Not Ready After Update
+```bash
+# Check dmesg for errors
+talosctl -n <node-ip> dmesg | grep -i "error\|fail"
+
+# Check Talos logs
+talosctl -n <node-ip> logs controller-runtime
+
+# Rollback if needed
+git checkout HEAD^ -- talconfig.yaml
+talhelper genconfig
+talosctl apply-config --file clusterconfig/<node>.yaml --nodes <node-ip>
+```
+
+### Wrong Node IP (10.1.75.x instead of 10.1.71.x)
+```bash
+# Verify talconfig has nodeIP.validSubnets
+grep -A 3 "nodeIP:" talconfig.yaml
+
+# Should show:
+#   nodeIP:
+#     validSubnets:
+#       - 10.1.71.0/24
+
+# If missing, edit talconfig.yaml and reapply
+```
+
+### Multipath Config Missing
+```bash
+# Check DaemonSet is running
+kubectl get pods -n kube-system -l app=iscsi-multipath-init
+
+# If not deployed:
+kubectl apply -f iscsi-multipath-init.yaml
+
+# Force recreation
+kubectl delete pod -n kube-system -l app=iscsi-multipath-init
+```
+
+### iSCSI Discovery Fails
+```bash
+# Check network connectivity on ens19
+talosctl -n <node-ip> exec -- ip addr show ens19
+talosctl -n <node-ip> exec -- ping -c 3 <flasharray-ip>
+
+# Check iscsid service
+talosctl -n <node-ip> service iscsid
+
+# Start iscsid if needed (auto-starts on discovery)
+talosctl -n <node-ip> exec -- \
+  iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p <flasharray-ip>
+```

+# Talos iSCSI Configuration for Portworx CSI
+
+This directory contains the fixed Talos configuration for iSCSI support on worker nodes, enabling Portworx CSI driver integration with Pure Storage FlashArray.
+
+## 🚨 Problem Statement
+
+The initial iSCSI configuration (commit f370213) caused worker nodes to fail boot with:
+```
+writeUserFiles failed, rebooting in 35 minutes
+```
+
+This was caused by:
+1. Mounting `/etc/iscsi` (conflicts with iscsi-tools extension)
+2. Writing `/etc/multipath.conf` during early boot (filesystem not writable)
+3. Missing explicit nodeIP configuration for dual-NIC workers
+
+## ✅ Solution
+
+The fix involves three changes:
+
+1. **Remove `/etc/iscsi` mount** - Let iscsi-tools extension manage it
+2. **Add explicit nodeIP** - Bind kubelet to primary network (10.1.71.0/24)
+3. **Move multipath config to DaemonSet** - Configure post-boot when filesystem is writable
+

+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### 1. Review the Changes
+
+```bash
+cd ~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper
+
+# See what changed
+git diff <previous-commit> talconfig.yaml
+
+# Read the detailed documentation
+cat ISCSI_CONFIG_FIX.md
+```
+
+### 2. Apply the Fix
+
+```bash
+# Dry run first to preview
+./apply-iscsi-fix.sh --dry-run
+
+# Apply to all worker nodes
+./apply-iscsi-fix.sh
+```
+
+This script will:
+- Regenerate Talos configs
+- Apply to each worker sequentially (jungle-cruise → haunted-mansion → peter-pans-flight)
+- Wait for each node to reboot and become Ready
+- Verify iSCSI functionality
+- Deploy multipath DaemonSet
+
+**Duration:** ~20-30 minutes (3 nodes × 5-10 min each)
+
+### 3. Verify
+
+```bash
+# Run comprehensive verification (replace with your FlashArray iSCSI IP)
+./verify-iscsi.sh 10.1.75.100
+
+# Check node IPs (should be 10.1.71.x, NOT 10.1.75.x)
+kubectl get nodes -o wide
+
+# Check multipath DaemonSet
+kubectl get pods -n kube-system -l app=iscsi-multipath-init -o wide
+```
+
+## 🔧 Manual Application (if needed)
+
+If you prefer manual control:
+
+```bash
+# Regenerate config
+talhelper genconfig
+
+# Apply to one worker at a time
+talosctl apply-config \
+  --file clusterconfig/fastpass-jungle-cruise.yaml \
+  --nodes 10.1.71.69
+
+# Wait for Ready
+kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready node/jungle-cruise --timeout=10m
+
+# Verify
+talosctl -n 10.1.71.69 service iscsid
+talosctl -n 10.1.71.69 read /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
+
+# Repeat for other nodes...
+```

+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Key insight:** By moving multipath configuration to a DaemonSet (step 6), we avoid writing files during early boot when the filesystem may not be writable.
+
+## 🌐 Network Configuration
+
+Workers have dual NICs:
+
+| Interface | Network | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|---------|
+| **ens18** | 10.1.71.0/24 | **Primary** - Kubernetes API, pod traffic |
+| **ens19** | 10.1.75.0/24 | **Storage** - iSCSI to FlashArray |
+
+**Critical:** Kubelet must bind to ens18 (10.1.71.x) using `nodeIP.validSubnets`.

+## ✅ Success Criteria
+
+After deployment, verify:
+
+- [ ] All worker nodes show `Ready` status
+- [ ] Node IPs are `10.1.71.x` (not `10.1.75.x`)
+- [ ] `iscsi-tools` extension loaded
+- [ ] Kernel modules loaded: `iscsi_tcp`, `dm_multipath`, `dm_round_robin`
+- [ ] `iscsid` service ready
+- [ ] `/var/lib/iscsi` directory accessible
+- [ ] Unique initiator name on each node
+- [ ] `/etc/multipath.conf` exists with Pure Storage config
+- [ ] `ens19` interface up with `10.1.75.x` IP
+- [ ] Multipath DaemonSet running on all workers
+- [ ] No boot errors in `dmesg`
+
+## 🆘 Troubleshooting
+
+### Boot Failure
+
+If a node fails to boot after applying config:
+
+```bash
+# Check dmesg for errors
+talosctl -n <node-ip> dmesg | grep -i "error\|fail"
+
+# Check Talos controller logs
+talosctl -n <node-ip> logs controller-runtime
+
+# Rollback
+git checkout HEAD^ -- talconfig.yaml
+talhelper genconfig
+talosctl apply-config --file clusterconfig/<node>.yaml --nodes <node-ip>
+```
+
+### Wrong Node IP
+
+If kubelet binds to `10.1.75.x` instead of `10.1.71.x`:
+
+```bash
+# Verify nodeIP.validSubnets in config
+grep -A 3 "nodeIP:" talconfig.yaml
+
+# Should show:
+#   nodeIP:
+#     validSubnets:
+#       - 10.1.71.0/24
+
+# If missing, add it and reapply
+```
+
+### iSCSI Not Working
+
+```bash
+# Full verification
+./verify-iscsi.sh <flasharray-ip>
+
+# Check specific components
+talosctl -n <node-ip> service iscsid
+talosctl -n <node-ip> read /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
+talosctl -n <node-ip> exec -- multipath -ll
+
+# Test discovery
+talosctl -n <node-ip> exec -- \
+  iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p <flasharray-iscsi-ip>
+```
+
+## 🔄 Next Steps
+
+After successful deployment:
+
+1. **Deploy Portworx CSI** (if not already deployed)
+   ```bash
+   cd ~/git/homelab/cluster/platform/portworx-csi
+   cat README.md
+   ```
+
+2. **Test iSCSI to FlashArray**
+   ```bash
+   ./verify-iscsi.sh <flasharray-iscsi-ip>
+   ```
+
+3. **Create test PVC**
+   ```yaml
+   apiVersion: v1
+   kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
+   metadata:
+     name: test-pure-block
+   spec:
+     accessModes: [ReadWriteOnce]
+     storageClassName: pure-block
+     resources:
+       requests:
+         storage: 10Gi
+   ```
+
+4. **Monitor Portworx**
+   ```bash
+   kubectl logs -n portworx -l app=portworx-operator -f
+   ```

+# Task Completion Summary: jungle-cruise Node Recovery
+
+**Task:** Diagnose and fix jungle-cruise node failure after adding multipath.conf to Talos worker configuration  
+**Date:** 2026-06-20  
+**Agent:** Hermes (carousel-of-progress)  
+**Status:** Diagnosis Complete ✅ | Fix Applied ✅ | Node Recovery Pending ⏳
+
+---
+
+## What I Did
+
+### 1. Root Cause Analysis ✅
+
+**Problem Identified:**
+- Commit `adc415e` (2026-06-20 21:56) added `/etc/multipath.conf` to `machine.files` section
+- Configuration was applied to jungle-cruise around 22:00
+- Node went NotReady at 22:01 (kubelet stopped posting status)
+
+**Root Cause:**
+```
+Writing /etc/multipath.conf during Talos early boot via machine.files
+causes writeUserFiles to fail on read-only filesystem, triggering
+automatic reboot cycle.
+```
+
+**Evidence:**
+- This is the SAME issue previously fixed in commit `e8303d5` 
+- IMPLEMENTATION_REPORT.md clearly documents this failure mode
+- Previous fix correctly used DaemonSet approach
+- Multipath.conf was inadvertently re-added via machine.files
+
+### 2. Configuration Fixed ✅
+
+**Commit:** `d2b6d95` - "Revert multipath.conf from machine.files"  
+**Changes:**
+- Removed entire `machine.files` section from worker patches in talconfig.yaml
+- Restored configuration to working state (matching commit e8303d5)
+- DaemonSet approach (iscsi-multipath-init.yaml) is still available for post-boot config
+
+**Git History:**
+```
+a30ad99 - Add jungle-cruise recovery documentation
+d2b6d95 - Revert multipath.conf from machine.files
+adc415e - Add multipath.conf for PX-CSI node driver (BROKE NODE)
+e8303d5 - Fix Talos iSCSI configuration for Portworx CSI (WORKING)
+```
+
+### 3. Documentation Created ✅
+
+**Files Created:**
+- `JUNGLE-CRUISE-RECOVERY.md` - Comprehensive recovery procedure
+- This summary document
+
+**Recovery Procedures Documented:**
+- Option A: Apply fixed config (requires talosctl + existing configs)
+- Option B: Force reboot via talosctl or Proxmox (quickest)
+- Option C: Full regeneration (requires SOPS/age keys)
+
+---
+
+## What I Found
+
+### Node Current State
+
+```
+Name:               jungle-cruise
+IP:                 10.1.71.69
+Status:             NotReady (since 2026-06-20 22:01 CDT)
+Reason:             NodeStatusUnknown - Kubelet stopped posting node status
+Last Heartbeat:     2026-06-21 03:00:07Z
+Network:            ✅ Pingable, Talos API port (50000) open
+SSH:                ❌ Not available (Talos doesn't run SSH)
+Pods:               All Pending (cannot schedule on NotReady node)
+```
+
+### Configuration State
+
+```
+Git Status:         Fixed configuration committed
+talconfig.yaml:     ✅ Corrected (multipath.conf removed from machine.files)
+DaemonSet:          ✅ iscsi-multipath-init.yaml ready for deployment
+Cluster Configs:    ❌ Not generated (requires SOPS/age keys OR city-hall access)
+```
+
+### Access Limitations
+
+**What I Have:**
+- ✅ kubectl access (full cluster admin)
+- ✅ Git repository access
+- ✅ Node network connectivity (ping, API port open)
+- ✅ Downloaded talosctl v1.13.2
+- ✅ Downloaded talhelper v3.1.11
+- ✅ Downloaded sops v3.9.4
+
+**What I Don't Have:**
+- ❌ Working talosconfig (file exists but empty at ~/.talos/config)
+- ❌ SOPS/age private keys (~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt doesn't exist)
+- ❌ SSH access to jungle-cruise (Talos doesn't run SSH)
+- ❌ Access to city-hall (management node with credentials)
+- ❌ Pre-generated clusterconfig/ directory
+
+**Why I Can't Complete Recovery:**
+- Applying Talos config requires authenticated talosctl connection
+- Generating new configs requires SOPS keys to decrypt talsecret.sops.yaml
+- Cannot SSH to node to force reboot
+- Cannot schedule pods on NotReady node to trigger reboot
+
+---
+
+## What Needs to Happen Next
+
+### Immediate Action Required
+
+Someone with ONE of the following needs to complete recovery:
+
+#### Option 1: Apply Fixed Config (Recommended)
+```bash
+# On city-hall or host with talosconfig
+cd ~/git/homelab/talos/talhelper
+git pull  # Get commits d2b6d95 and a30ad99
+talhelper genconfig
+talosctl apply-config \
+  --file clusterconfig/fastpass-jungle-cruise.yaml \
+  --nodes 10.1.71.69
+kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready node/jungle-cruise --timeout=10m
+```
+
+#### Option 2: Force Reboot (Quickest)
+```bash
+# Via talosctl
+talosctl --nodes 10.1.71.69 reboot
+
+# OR via Proxmox
+# Find jungle-cruise VM and reboot from UI
+```
+
+#### Option 3: Deploy DaemonSet After Recovery
+```bash
+# Once node is back to Ready
+kubectl apply -f iscsi-multipath-init.yaml
+kubectl get pods -n kube-system -l app=iscsi-multipath-init -o wide
+```
+
+### Verification Steps
+
+After recovery:
+```bash
+# 1. Node is Ready
+kubectl get nodes -o wide | grep jungle-cruise
+
+# 2. Multipath config deployed via DaemonSet
+kubectl logs -n kube-system -l app=iscsi-multipath-init
+
+# 3. PX-CSI no longer crashes
+kubectl logs -n portworx -l name=portworx-node -c node-plugin | grep multipath
+```
+

+
+## Files Modified
+
+| File | Status | Description |
+|------|--------|-------------|
+| talconfig.yaml | ✅ Fixed | Removed machine.files section |
+| JUNGLE-CRUISE-RECOVERY.md | ✅ Created | Recovery procedures |
+| TASK-SUMMARY.md | ✅ Created | This document |
+

+
+## Key Learnings
+
+### What Worked
+
+1. **Systematic diagnosis** - Git history showed exactly when/why failure occurred
+2. **Existing documentation** - IMPLEMENTATION_REPORT.md had the answer
+3. **Git rollback** - Reverting to working config was straightforward
+4. **kubectl access** - Could monitor node status and cluster state
+
+### What Didn't Work
+
+1. **talosconfig retrieval** - No valid config found on this host
+2. **SOPS decryption** - Missing age keys prevented config regeneration
+3. **Remote reboot** - No SSH, can't schedule pods on NotReady node
+4. **Cross-host access** - Couldn't reach city-hall for credentials
+
+### Recommendations
+
+1. **Store talosconfig in 1Password** - Easy retrieval from any host
+2. **Document key locations** - Age key path should be in runbook
+3. **Pre-generate configs** - Keep clusterconfig/ in git (they're machine-specific, not secrets)
+4. **Test recovery procedures** - Practice node recovery before needing it
+5. **Never bypass previous fixes** - Commit e8303d5 solved this; should have kept that approach
+
