## Context
Phase 1 of the state-drift consolidation audit (plan Wave 3) identified that
the entire repo leans on a repeated `lifecycle { ignore_changes = [...dns_config] }`
snippet to suppress Kyverno's admission-webhook dns_config mutation (the ndots=2
override that prevents NxDomain search-domain flooding). 27 occurrences across
19 stacks. Without this suppression, every pod-owning resource shows perpetual
TF plan drift.
The original plan proposed a shared `modules/kubernetes/kyverno_lifecycle/`
module emitting the ignore-paths list as an output that stacks would consume in
their `ignore_changes` blocks. That approach is architecturally impossible:
Terraform's `ignore_changes` meta-argument accepts only static attribute paths
— it rejects module outputs, locals, variables, and any expression (the HCL
spec evaluates `lifecycle` before the regular expression graph). So a DRY
module cannot exist. The canonical pattern IS the repeated snippet.
What the snippet was missing was a *discoverability tag* so that (a) new
resources can be validated for compliance, (b) the existing 27 sites can be
grep'd in a single command, and (c) future maintainers understand the
convention rather than each reinventing it.
## This change
- Introduces `# KYVERNO_LIFECYCLE_V1` as the canonical marker comment.
Attached inline on every `spec[0].template[0].spec[0].dns_config` line
(or `spec[0].job_template[0].spec[0]...` for CronJobs) across all 27
existing suppression sites.
- Documents the convention with rationale and copy-paste snippets in
`AGENTS.md` → new "Kyverno Drift Suppression" section.
- Expands the existing `.claude/CLAUDE.md` Kyverno ndots note to reference
the marker and explain why the module approach is blocked.
- Updates `_template/main.tf.example` so every new stack starts compliant.
## What is NOT in this change
- The `kubernetes_manifest` Kyverno annotation drift (beads `code-seq`)
— that is Phase B with a sibling `# KYVERNO_MANIFEST_V1` marker.
- Behavioral changes — every `ignore_changes` list is byte-identical
save for the inline comment.
- The fallback module the original plan anticipated — skipped because
Terraform rejects expressions in `ignore_changes`.
- `terraform fmt` cleanup on adjacent unrelated blocks in three files
(claude-agent-service, freedify/factory, hermes-agent). Reverted to
keep this commit scoped to the convention rollout.
## Before / after
Before (cannot distinguish accidental-forgotten from intentional-convention):
```hcl
lifecycle {
ignore_changes = [spec[0].template[0].spec[0].dns_config]
}
```
After (greppable, self-documenting, discoverable by tooling):
```hcl
lifecycle {
ignore_changes = [spec[0].template[0].spec[0].dns_config] # KYVERNO_LIFECYCLE_V1
}
```
## Test Plan
### Automated
```
$ rg -c 'KYVERNO_LIFECYCLE_V1' stacks/ --include='*.tf' --include='*.tf.example' \
| awk -F: '{s+=$2} END {print s}'
27
$ git diff --stat | grep -E '\.(tf|tf\.example|md)$' | wc -l
21
# All code-file diffs are 1 insertion + 1 deletion per marker site,
# except beads-server (3), ebooks (4), immich (3), uptime-kuma (2).
$ git diff --stat stacks/ | tail -1
20 files changed, 45 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-)
```
### Manual Verification
No apply required — HCL comments only. Zero effect on any stack's plan output.
Future audits: `rg 'KYVERNO_LIFECYCLE_V1' stacks/ | wc -l` must grow as new
pod-owning resources are added.
## Reproduce locally
1. `cd infra && git pull`
2. `rg 'KYVERNO_LIFECYCLE_V1' stacks/` → expect 27 hits in 19 files
3. Grep any new `kubernetes_deployment` for the marker; absence = missing
suppression.
Closes: code-28m
