tegwick cf7abf56f4 feat(gitea-db): add NetworkPolicy for app-namespace ingress; update SCOPE
- Add allow-ingress-from-default-gitea-db NetworkPolicy so Gitea pods
  in default namespace can connect to gitea-db cnpg cluster on 5432
- Update SCOPE.md to reflect cnpg as the canonical DB operator (postgresql-ha
  subchart fully decommissioned as of this session)

## One-liner
S3 Platform Services layer of the Railiance OAS Stack — owns shared cluster services: PostgreSQL HA, Valkey cache, secret management, identity integration, and object storage.
---
## Core Idea
Railiance is structured as five independent repos per OAS Stack layer. This repo is S3 — the platform services that multiple applications share. The active migration is from Bitnami postgresql-ha (repmgr + pgpool, currently a Gitea subchart in S2) to CloudNative PG (cnpg operator, already deployed in the cnpg-system namespace) as the canonical database operator. Valkey cluster is also in scope for S3 extraction from S2.
---
## In Scope
- PostgreSQL via CloudNative PG operator (cnpg) — operator deployed, `databases` namespace active
- Valkey / Redis-compatible cache as a standalone Helm release (to be extracted from S2)
- Secret management infrastructure
- Identity services integration point (with net-kingdom)
- Message brokers (RabbitMQ, similar)
- Object storage (MinIO / S3-compatible)
- Backup and recovery services for platform data
---
## Out of Scope (per ADR-003)
- OS-level concerns → railiance-infra (S1)
- Kubernetes runtime → railiance-cluster (S2)
- Developer tooling, CI/CD → railiance-enablement (S4)
- Application deployments → railiance-apps (S5)
- No re-configuration of S1/S2 concerns from this repo
---
## Relevant When
- Deploying or managing shared services that multiple S5 applications depend on
- Extracting platform services from application Helm subcharts (boundary enforcement)
- S2 cluster is operational and platform layer can now be established
---
## Not Relevant When
- S2 (cluster runtime) is not yet operational (pre-condition not met)
- Application-specific database schemas or migrations (those belong in S5 apps)
- Infrastructure or cluster work (wrong layer)
---
## Current State
- Status: active / emerging
- Implementation: CloudNative PG operator (cnpg) deployed; `databases` namespace active; Valkey + legacy postgresql-ha extraction from S2 in progress (RAIL-PL-WP-0001)
- Stability: emerging — cnpg deployed but database cluster definitions not yet migrated from S2
- Usage: will be the shared database and cache layer; currently cnpg-system + databases namespaces are live
---
## How It Fits
- Upstream dependencies: railiance-cluster (S2) — k3s running, Helm available, smoke tests passing
- Downstream consumers: railiance-enablement (S4), railiance-apps (S5) — all depend on platform services
- Often used with: net-kingdom (identity services integration), railiance-cluster (prior layer)
---
## Terminology
- Preferred terms: OAS Stack Level S3, platform services, boundary rule, migration (extracting from S2 subcharts)
- Potentially confusing terms: "migration" here means moving Helm releases between layers, not database schema migration
---
## Related / Overlapping Repositories
- `railiance-cluster` (S2) — pre-condition; PostgreSQL was previously managed here (being extracted to S3)
- `railiance-apps` (S5) — consumes database and cache services from S3
- `net-kingdom` — identity services integration point at the platform layer
---
## Provided Capabilities
```capability
type: infrastructure
title: PostgreSQL via CloudNative PG (cnpg)
description: PostgreSQL database clusters managed by the CloudNative PG operator — shared database service for all platform applications. Operator deployed in cnpg-system namespace; database clusters defined in the databases namespace.
keywords: [postgresql, postgres, cnpg, cloudnative-pg, operator, database, kubernetes]
```
```capability
type: infrastructure
title: Valkey / Redis-compatible cache
description: Shared Redis-compatible cache service (Valkey) for all applications in the Railiance stack.
keywords: [valkey, redis, cache, shared, session, queue]
```
```capability
type: data
title: Object storage (MinIO / S3-compatible)
description: S3-compatible object storage service (MinIO) for artifact storage, backups, and large file handling across platform applications.
keywords: [minio, s3, object-storage, storage, artifacts, backup]
```
---
## Getting Oriented
- Start with: `CLAUDE.md` (session protocol, boundary rules)
- Key files / directories: `workplans/RAIL-PL-WP-0001-platform-baseline.md`, `helm/` (platform Helm charts), `Makefile`
- Pre-conditions: railiance-cluster (S2) converged with k3s running; cluster backup verified before migration steps (`sudo make backup` in railiance-cluster)
