The API rewrite half of the ESO 0.12->2.6 migration (last k8s-1.35 compat-gate
blocker). Done on chart 0.16.2, which serves BOTH external-secrets.io/v1beta1
and v1, so this is the safe window — MUST land before 0.17 removes v1beta1
(there is no conversion webhook). Pure apiVersion bump, schema is byte-identical:
106 occurrences (104 ExternalSecrets + 2 ClusterSecretStores vault-kv/vault-database)
across 73 .tf files, v1beta1 -> v1, no other field changes.
Validated live first on tandoor (single, non-coupled, synced ES): the
kubernetes_manifest apiVersion bump forces a REPLACE; the target Secret is
cascade-GC'd for ONE ~0.3s poll then ESO recreates it (identical value re-synced
from Vault, new UID) and the ES returns SecretSynced=True on v1. Running pods
keep their mounted copy through the sub-second blip. All 110 target Secrets were
snapshotted to /tmp first as a backstop.
CI applies the changed stacks serially (staged rollout); watching aggregate ES
sync back to 108 synced (2 pre-existing dead: instagram-poster, payslip-ingest).
Next: Phase 3 climb 0.16.2 -> 2.6.0.

Viktor wants Forgejo open for anyone to sign up, but without bot/spam
account floods. Flip the deployment from OAuth-only registration
(ALLOW_ONLY_EXTERNAL_REGISTRATION=true) to allowing native local
sign-up, and add two bot gates on the registration form:
- Cloudflare Turnstile captcha (CAPTCHA_TYPE=cfturnstile). The widget
is managed in Terraform (turnstile.tf) via the CF Global API key, so
the sitekey/secret are IaC, not a dashboard artifact.
- Mandatory email confirmation (REGISTER_EMAIL_CONFIRM=true). Wire the
Forgejo mailer to the cluster mailserver as noreply@viktorbarzin.me
(mail.viktorbarzin.me:587 STARTTLS), reusing the same Vault-sourced
credential Authentik uses (email-secret.tf ESO -> secret/authentik
smtp_password).
Existing Authentik OAuth2 login is unchanged (additive). Deployment env
appended (not inserted) so the diff stays purely additive; a reloader
annotation rolls the pod on secret rotation.
Verified live: signup page renders the Turnstile widget, mailer delivers
a test message end-to-end, Forgejo healthy, plan-to-zero after apply.
