Scooby Husky 1a657ad0a4 Phase 2: deploy Authentik warm standby on the VPS
CNPG operator on the VPS (argocd-apps/vps-standby/cnpg-operator.yaml),
plus a CNPG 'replica cluster' for pg-authentik (infrastructure/
vps-standby/authentik/manifests/cnpg-cluster.yaml) that continuously
replays WAL shipped from home's pg-authentik via VPS MinIO's
cnpg-backups/pg-authentik bucket path - CNPG's native replica-cluster
mode, not a custom restore script like Vault needed (Vault has no
equivalent built-in continuous-replication-into-object-store feature).

The Authentik app itself runs at replicas: 0 in normal operation - the
replica DB is read-only until a deliberate manual promotion
(spec.replica.enabled: false), and a pod trying to write against a
read-only DB would just crashloop uselessly. values.yaml's authentik:
block is copied byte-identical from home's on purpose: the chart
deterministically derives its generated Secret's AUTHENTIK_SECRET_KEY
from these literal values.yaml strings, so both clusters land on the
same key without manually copying it - required since that key decrypts
things stored encrypted in the replicated DB.

# CNPG "replica cluster" - continuously replays WAL shipped from home's
# pg-authentik cluster (infrastructure/authentik/manifests/cnpg-cluster.yaml)
# via VPS MinIO's cnpg-backups/pg-authentik bucket path. Unlike Vault's
# raft-restore CronJob (Vault has no native continuous-replication-into-
# object-store feature), CNPG's replica-cluster mode is a first-class
# built-in mechanism - no custom restore scripting needed, matches the
# plan's intent directly.
#
# While spec.replica.enabled is true, this cluster is a read-only standby
# in continuous recovery - the -rw service exists but is NOT writable
# (same "nothing accepts writes in normal operation" discipline as Vault/
# Gitea). Promoting it to a real writable primary during an actual
# incident is a deliberate manual step:
# kubectl -n authentik patch cluster pg-authentik --type merge \
# -p '{"spec":{"replica":{"enabled":false}}}'
# then scale the authentik Deployment(s) up from 0.
#
# vps-minio-secret is a plain Secret copied here manually (kubectl, not
# git) from the vps-minio-root-secret in the minio namespace - this
# cluster has no Vault/ESO of its own:
# kubectl -n authentik create secret generic vps-minio-secret \
# --from-literal=accesskey=<vps minio root user> \
# --from-literal=secretkey=<vps minio root password>
