Decisions
Every direction chosen, rejected or reversed, newest at the bottom. Rows are never rewritten:
a reversal is a new row, and the old row's status becomes superseded by #N. Status is
active, proposed (not yet confirmed by lab work) or superseded by #N.
Rows 1–9 were back-filled on 2026-09-26 from the README, versions.md, the phase docs and the
image-builder fixes log; their dates are when the decision was recorded, not necessarily made.
| # | Date | Decision | Alternatives considered | Why | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2026-09-24 | Pin CAPI core to 1.12.x (versions.md) | latest CAPI 1.14.x | CAPMOX v0.9.x is only tested against CAPI 1.11/1.12; caps workload Kubernetes and cluster-autoscaler at 1.35 | active |
| 2 | 2026-09-24 | Management cluster is k3s on a Proxmox VM | kind on a workstation | CAPI controllers and the autoscaler must run permanently | active |
| 3 | 2026-09-24 | Node images built with kubernetes-sigs/image-builder (Ubuntu 24.04, Proxmox builder) | — | upstream-maintained CAPI images | active |
| 4 | 2026-09-24 | image-builder overrides go in a PACKER_VAR_FILES JSON |
PACKER_FLAGS |
flags were silently lost when PACKER_FLAGS was re-exported (fixes log #4) |
active |
| 5 | 2026-09-24 | Cilium installed by Helm with ipam.mode=kubernetes, pod CIDR 10.244.0.0/16 |
ClusterResourceSet CNI flavors; pod CIDR 192.168.0.0/16 |
keeps the CNI version under our control; 192.168.0.0/16 overlaps the lab LAN |
active |
| 6 | 2026-09-24 | Scale-from-zero via capacity.cluster-autoscaler.kubernetes.io/* annotations on the MachineDeployment |
infrastructure provider publishing status.capacity |
CAPMOX does not publish status.capacity on ProxmoxMachineTemplate |
active |
| 7 | 2026-09-24 | Template only on pv1-1, ALLOWED_NODES=[pv1-1] |
template on every node; shared storage | local-lvm is node-local and there is no shared storage yet |
active |
| 8 | 2026-09-26 | Phase 2: spike CAPLV first; own provider if insufficient; KubeVirt as fallback (phase-2) | CAPK + KubeVirt, Metal3, own provider from the start | CAPLV shares CAPI 1.12 with CAPMOX and fits plain libvirt hosts directly | proposed |
| 9 | 2026-09-26 | Phases 2 and 3 are independent and can be done in either order | strict sequence | no technical dependency between the KVM provider and hosted control planes | active |
| 10 | 2026-09-26 | Keep project history in the repo: plans, execution logs, session notes, decisions, prompts, reviews, changelog (session) | chat history only; raw transcripts committed | research repo, reasoning must outlive sessions; transcripts are noisy and may contain secrets | active |
| 11 | 2026-09-27 | Cluster inspection by agents only via read-only ServiceAccount kubeconfigs minted by .claude/cluster-inspector/make-kubeconfig.sh (short-lived TokenRequest tokens, gitignored) |
admin kubeconfig + permission allowlist; long-lived SA token Secret; RBAC under configs/ |
RBAC (view, no Secrets) enforces read-only regardless of which kubectl verb an agent runs — also closes the kubectl get secret gap from the history-conventions session; short-lived tokens limit leak impact |
