Two related fixes, found while working through why authentik/n8n/gitlab
ArgoCD Applications showed Unknown/stuck health despite pods being fine:
1. ArgoCD has no built-in health check for CNPG's Cluster CRD, so it
always reported "Unknown" - and since app-level health rolls up to
the worst resource status, every app with a CNPG Cluster showed
Unknown/Progressing regardless of actual state. Added a Lua health
check (resource.customizations.health.postgresql.cnpg.io_Cluster)
reading .status.conditions[Ready] / .status.phase.
2. Once that started reporting real status instead of masking it,
pg-authentik showed a genuine problem: CNPG's operator couldn't
reach its Postgres instances' status API (port 8000) - "Cannot
extract Pod status ... context deadline exceeded" - because:
a) authentik-ingress's CiliumNetworkPolicy never allowed cnpg-system
as a source (crowdsec-ingress already had this exception,
authentik-ingress was just missing it - inconsistency, not
deliberate).
b) Even after fixing (a), still blocked - pg-authentik's pods are
ambient-mesh-enrolled, so the connection actually goes through
ztunnel's HBONE tunnel (port 15008) first, same underlying issue
as the argocd-redis fix from earlier today. Rather than keep
finding and patching this per-namespace as it recurs, added a
cluster-wide CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicy allowing HBONE
broadly - ztunnel's own mTLS/SPIFFE identity verification is the
real security boundary for mesh traffic; Cilium blocking the
tunnel port itself was only breaking legitimate traffic, not
adding meaningful protection on top.
Verified live: CNPG operator immediately went from failing status
extraction to successfully reconciling (recreating a pod to reattach
its PVC) once both fixes were in place.
