Viktor asked to review Authentik and the web tier and make first-time signin to apps faster. Review found the slowness is screens and round trips, not server time. Changes: - values.yaml: the authentik.* Helm values (gunicorn workers, cache timeouts, conn_max_age) were silently INERT because existingSecret skips chart env rendering — pods ran defaults (2 workers, 300s caches, no persistent DB conns). Moved all tuning into server.env/worker.env, which actually reaches the pods. - authentik_provider.tf: adopt the identification stage and pin password_stage so username+password render on ONE screen (the separate order-20 password binding is deleted via API — authentik requires that when embedding). Outpost log_level trace->info and 1->2 replicas (it is on the hot path of every forward-auth request; PG-backed sessions make 2 replicas safe). - authentik module: /static ingress carve-out with immutable Cache-Control (assets are version-fingerprinted but served with no max-age — internal split-horizon users got zero caching). - traefik auth-proxy nginx: upstream keepalive 32 + HTTP/1.1 (was opening a fresh TCP connection to the outpost per subrequest) + config-checksum annotation so config changes roll the pods. - docs: authentication.md + authentik-state.md updated; fixed stale 'postgresql.dbaas has no endpoints' claim in CLAUDE.md/CONTEXT.md (it is a live CNPG primary-selector compatibility service). Done via API in the same change (UI-managed objects): 6 OIDC providers (Vault, Forgejo, Immich, Headscale, linkwarden, Cloudflare Access) switched from explicit to implicit consent — all first-party, the 4-weekly consent screen only slowed first-time signin.
