Scooby HuskyandClaude Sonnet 5 018eb3570f Build real pod-egress routing to the VPS, fix everything blocked by its absence ...

Root cause of tonight's earlier CrowdSec/CNPG-backup workarounds: no node
in the cluster had any route into the Netbird mesh CIDR (100.108.0.0/16)
for pod-originated traffic. The per-namespace netbird 'router' pods are
inbound-only infrastructure (external peers reaching K8s services); their
own architecture has no reverse path.

Fix, in two parts:

1. infrastructure/netbird/manifests/egress-daemonset.yaml - one netbird
   client per node, hostNetwork so its wt0 interface lives in the node's
   real network namespace, plus a sidecar that adds a host route sending
   100.108.0.0/16 out via it. hostNetwork requires a scoped Kyverno
   PolicyException (infrastructure/kyverno/policies/netbird-egress-exception.yaml)
   to the disallow-host-namespaces STIG policy - narrowly for this one
   DaemonSet by name, not a namespace-wide exclusion.

2. Discovered the route alone wasn't enough for k3s NodePort traffic
   (vps-minio:30900): Netbird manages its own nftables ACLs independent of
   iptables/Kyverno, and its forward chain (netbird-rt-fwd) only permits
   *established* connections through a peer acting as a router - never new
   ones, by design, unless a Netbird 'Network Route' policy is explicitly
   configured (it isn't, for this VPS). Locally-terminated connections
   (tinyproxy) go through a separate, already-permissive ACL chain, which
   is why the CrowdSec proxy fix from earlier tonight worked. Replicated
   that working pattern for MinIO: minio-forward.service on the VPS host
   (systemd, socat) forwards 100.108.113.41:9000 -> MinIO's ClusterIP,
   avoiding the NodePort path entirely.

Re-enabled everything that was disabled/suspended earlier tonight because
of this gap, pointed at the new endpoint:
- CrowdSec CAPI/console-enroll (removed DISABLE_ONLINE_API, restored the
  VPS proxy env vars)
- n8n/nextcloud/authentik CNPG backup.barmanObjectStore
- vault-raft-snapshot CronJob (unsuspended)
- nextcloud PVC content sync CronJob endpoint

vps-minio.netbird.internal is retired everywhere - it was never actually
resolvable (Netbird has no DNS configured) even before today's routing
fix.
