## 📝 Notes & Decision Points

### Authentik Stage 2 Blocker
⏳ **Waiting for**: User to manually configure Authentik OIDC Provider in Authentik Admin UI.
- Once done, provide Client ID + Secret
- Then: Commit Stage 2 MAS config

### Database: CloudNativePG vs. Hetzner Postgres
- **CloudNativePG**: Open-source, runs on K3S, full control
- **Hetzner Postgres**: Managed, backups included, less ops overhead
- **Decision**: Recommend CloudNativePG for now (cost-effective), migrate to Hetzner later if operational overhead too high

### Federation: Allowlist vs. Closed?
- **Allowlist**: Default federation with all public servers, can be attacked
- **Closed**: Only federate with trusted servers (higher security, lower interop)
- **Decision**: Depends on user intent. For now: allow all, add Mjolnir for abuse protection

### Security Framework
- **Layers**: Perimeter (Firewall) → Host (SSH, auditd, hardening) → Cluster (NetworkPolicies, PSA, Falco) → App (Rate-limits, Mjolnir)
- **Approach**: Implement incrementally, test after each layer
