feat(boundary): remove OS-hardening overlap; add k3s baseline workplan

Per ADR-002 (railiance-hosts/docs/adr/ADR-002-repo-boundary-hosts-vs-bootstrap.md):
- ansible/harden.yml: replaced with tombstone pointing to railiance-hosts
- ansible/bootstrap.yml: remove `import_playbook: harden.yml`; add
  pre-condition comment; OS hardening is no longer this repo's concern
- docs/first_host.md: rewritten to reflect 3-step flow:
  converge railiance-hosts → railiance-bootstrap k3s install → smoke test
- workplans/RAIL-BS-WP-0002-k3s-baseline.md: new workplan for k3s +
  Helm + Kubernetes platform baseline; linked to repo goal 70ab2379

# First Railiance Host — Provider Guide
# First Railiance Host — Setup Guide
## 1) Generate SSH key
```
bin/railiance gen-ssh-key
## Prerequisites
The target server must be a converged `railiance-hosts` node before running
anything from this repo. The OS baseline (SSH hardening, UFW, fail2ban, SOPS
agent) is owned by `railiance-hosts`.
**Step 0 — Converge the host OS (railiance-hosts)**
```bash
# In railiance-hosts/
make converge # apply OS baseline roles
make verify # confirm all Goss assertions pass
```
## 2) Choose a VM
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, 2 vCPU, 48GB RAM, 60+GB SSD, open 22/80/443.
See `railiance-hosts/docs/adr/ADR-002-repo-boundary-hosts-vs-bootstrap.md`
for the boundary definition between the two repos.
## 3) Cloud-init
```
bin/railiance cloudinit > user-data.yaml
---
## Kubernetes bootstrap (this repo)
### 1) Inventory
Add the host to `ansible/hosts.ini` (gitignored — recreate on each machine):
```ini
[hosteurope]
92.205.62.239 ansible_user=tegwick
```
## 4) Seed
Copy Spore or clone directly, then run seed script on the host.
### 2) Install k3s
```bash
ansible-playbook -i ansible/hosts.ini ansible/bootstrap.yml
```
## 5) Bootstrap (optional now)
```
ansible-playbook -i ansible/inventory/hosts.ini ansible/bootstrap.yml
### 3) Smoke test
```bash
tests/smoke_kube.sh
```

# k3s and Kubernetes Platform Baseline
## Goal
Install k3s, Helm, and the baseline Kubernetes services on the converged
HostEurope node. This workplan picks up exactly where `railiance-hosts`
leaves off: a hardened, verified OS node that is ready for Kubernetes.
## Pre-condition
`railiance-hosts` converge + Goss verify must pass before any task here
is executed:
```bash
# In railiance-hosts/
make converge
make verify # must exit 0
```
## Boundary
This repo owns everything from k3s upward. It must not re-configure items
defined in `railiance-hosts/spec/server-baseline.yaml`. See
`railiance-hosts/docs/adr/ADR-002-repo-boundary-hosts-vs-bootstrap.md`.
**Out of scope here:** application-layer deployments (Gitea, monitoring
stack, user-facing services). Those belong in `railiance-apps` once that
repo is established (decision pending).
---
## Tasks
### T01 — Ansible playbook: install k3s (server mode)
```task
id: T01
status: todo
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "3f042630-eab0-4c6a-9167-e2b28ff20e40"
```
Harden `ansible/bootstrap.yml` to a production-ready k3s install:
- Use the official k3s install script pinned to a specific version
(`INSTALL_K3S_VERSION=vX.Y.Z+k3s1`)
- `INSTALL_K3S_EXEC="server --cluster-init --write-kubeconfig-mode=644"`
(cluster-init enables embedded etcd for future HA expansion)
- Wait for node `Ready` before proceeding:
```bash
k3s kubectl wait node --all --for=condition=Ready --timeout=120s
```
- Fetch kubeconfig to the control node as `~/.kube/config-hosteurope`
**Done when:** `k3s kubectl get nodes` returns `Ready` from both the server
and the control node (via kubeconfig).
---
### T02 — Helm installation
```task
id: T02
status: todo
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "e8510646-46ed-4697-a345-f3d3009eea78"
```
Add a task (or a role `roles/helm/`) that:
1. Downloads the Helm binary (pinned version) to `/usr/local/bin/helm`
2. Verifies the checksum
3. Confirms `helm version` succeeds
**Done when:** `helm version` succeeds on the HostEurope node.
---
### T03 — Smoke test: k3s + Helm
```task
id: T03
status: todo
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "dab2c07f-8aa0-4635-8df6-857e87e93fc5"
```
Extend `tests/smoke_kube.sh` to assert:
- `k3s kubectl get nodes` → node in Ready state
- `helm version` exits 0
- CoreDNS pod running in `kube-system`
- Traefik ingress controller pod running (default in k3s)
Run via:
```bash
ansible-playbook -i ansible/hosts.ini ansible/smoke.yml
```
or directly over SSH if the kubeconfig is available locally.
**Done when:** all assertions pass and the script exits 0.
---
### T04 — Commit kubeconfig management notes
```task
id: T04
status: todo
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "5c3d40e4-239b-488e-9519-6f7a38d2325f"
```
Document in `docs/kubeconfig.md`:
- Where the kubeconfig is fetched to (`~/.kube/config-hosteurope`)
- How to merge it into `~/.kube/config`
- How to switch context: `kubectl config use-context default`
- Security note: kubeconfig is gitignored (contains cluster CA + client cert)
**Done when:** doc written and committed.
---
### T05 — Add `make k3s-install` and `make smoke` targets
```task
id: T05
status: todo
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "7f9e0e58-a130-467a-a2d0-b3f2564e496f"
```
Add to Makefile (create one if none exists):
```makefile
k3s-install: ## Install k3s and Helm on all inventory hosts
ansible-playbook -i ansible/hosts.ini ansible/bootstrap.yml
smoke: ## Run Kubernetes smoke tests
bash tests/smoke_kube.sh
```
**Done when:** both targets work and are listed in `make help`.
