The login limbo pod dials FELIS_API_BASE_URL = felis-api.<ns>.svc:8081 (the
internal face, service-token auth) to mint bind codes and poll link status, but
the only Service named felis-api is the external NodePort face and declares only
port 443. A Service answers only on its declared ports, so felis-api:8081 had no
backend and every login-pod internal call silently failed to connect.
Render a separate ClusterIP Service felis-api-internal for port 8081 and repoint
InternalAPIBaseURL at it. A second port on the NodePort Service is not an option:
Type=NodePort allocates a node port for every declared port with no per-port
opt-out, so it would publish the no-Zero-Trust internal face on every node's
external IP. A distinct ClusterIP Service keeps 8081 in-cluster only, reachable
by the login pod via DNS and by the on-node break-glass console via the
ClusterIP (exported as APIInternalServiceName / APIInternalPort).
Manifest-level fix; the live packet path is pending real-cluster verification.
Add docs/troubleshooting.md covering the common failure modes the spec
implies, grounded in the actual control-plane code paths:
- Stuck Starting (PodNotReady / RconSecretUnavailable / RconNotReachable)
and the deliberate absence of a Starting->Failed timeout.
- Failed reachable only via InvalidSpec on a malformed spec.storage.size,
plus the stale status.endpoint=direct caveat after a failure.
- Routing via status.endpoint direct/fallback and the empty fallbackServer
pitfall; wake 403/429/503 gate order.
- online-mode coupling and Velocity's offline-mode routing refusal.
- Cloudflare Access 401/403, nil-Keyfunc fail-closed, audience checks,
the absence of an issuer check, and local-session gating.
- Internal service-token (FELIS_SERVICE_TOKEN) rejection path.
- link/claim error codes, Kaniko build denials (SA-by-absence RBAC,
default-deny egress, internal-registry push gate), and the registry
DNS contract.
- Reaper backup-before-delete invariant and false-delete vectors.
- Unimplemented idle auto-stop, permanently-zero players.online, the
inert CRD fields, and the always-survives world PVC behaviour.
Each item is labelled with its evidence grade (GO-TESTED / CODE-ONLY /
INTEGRATION-ONLY / INERT) so operators know what is verified versus
asserted.
