# ananke

Ananke is the host-side recovery orchestrator for Titan power events.

It runs outside Kubernetes (systemd on host), so it can:
- shut the cluster down gracefully before runtime gets dangerous
- bootstrap the cluster after power is restored
- break known startup deadlocks (including Flux + in-cluster Gitea coupling)
- verify real service availability before declaring startup complete

The goal is not clever automation. The goal is boring, repeatable recovery.

## Why `ananke`

In Greek myth, **Ananke** is inevitability and necessity.
That is the exact constraint we operate under during outages and drills.

Power-domain names in this lab align with that naming:
- `Statera` UPS: `titan-23`, `titan-24`, `titan-jh`
- `Pyrphoros` UPS: all other nodes

## Operating model (non-negotiable)

- Ananke does **cluster orchestration**, not host power control.
- Shutdown defaults to `cluster-only` and should remain that way for normal drills.
- Physical outages can cut host power themselves; Ananke’s job is clean state transitions.

Flux source of truth remains `titan-iac.git`.
Ananke’s own repo (`ananke.git`) is software only; it is not the desired-state cluster config repo.

## Breakglass reminder

Vault breakglass is available through a remote Magic Mirror path.
If standard unseal retrieval fails, use `startup.vault_unseal_breakglass_command`.

## What "startup complete" means

Startup is complete only after all required gates pass:
- inventory mapping is valid
- expected SSH nodes are reachable/authenticated (minus explicit ignores)
- Flux source drift guard passes (expected URL + branch)
- required Flux kustomizations are healthy
- workload convergence is healthy
- ingress checklist passes
- service checklist passes (internal + externally exposed)
- critical endpoint checks pass
- stability soak passes with no regressions

If a manual intervention is needed during a drill, that is treated as an Ananke gap and must be encoded back into Ananke logic.

## Status and reports

Live status:
- `ananke status --config /etc/ananke/ananke.yaml`
- `ananke status --config /etc/ananke/ananke.yaml --json`

Artifacts:
- `/var/lib/ananke/startup-progress.json` (live run progress)
- `/var/lib/ananke/last-startup-report.json`
- `/var/lib/ananke/last-shutdown-report.json`
- `/var/lib/ananke/reports/*.json` (historical per-run reports)
- `/var/lib/ananke/runs.json` (timing history)
- `/var/lib/ananke/update-last.env` (latest self-update result)
- `/var/log/ananke/update.log` (self-update execution log)

## Quick commands

From `titan-db`:

```bash
sudo /usr/local/bin/ananke status --config /etc/ananke/ananke.yaml
sudo /usr/local/bin/ananke startup --config /etc/ananke/ananke.yaml --execute --force-flux-branch main
sudo /usr/local/bin/ananke shutdown --config /etc/ananke/ananke.yaml --execute --reason graceful-maintenance --mode cluster-only
```

From `titan-24` (`tethys` peer):

```bash
sudo /usr/local/bin/ananke shutdown --config /etc/ananke/ananke.yaml --execute --reason graceful-maintenance --mode cluster-only
```

Systemd control:

```bash
sudo systemctl status ananke.service
sudo systemctl start ananke-bootstrap.service
sudo systemctl start ananke-update.service
sudo cat /var/lib/ananke/update-last.env
sudo tail -n 200 /var/log/ananke/update.log
```

## Config

Primary config path:
- `/etc/ananke/ananke.yaml`

Keep these fields accurate:
- `expected_flux_source_url`
- `expected_flux_branch`
- `startup.service_checklist`
- `startup.critical_service_endpoints`
- `startup.require_ingress_checklist`
- `startup.require_node_inventory_reachability`
- `startup.ignore_unavailable_nodes`
- `coordination.role`
- `coordination.peer_hosts`

## Quality gate

Top-level quality/testing module:
- `testing/`

Deployment gate script:
- `scripts/quality_gate.sh`

Gate order:
1. docs contract checks
2. split test-module contract (`cmd/` + `internal/` cannot grow new in-tree `_test.go` files)
3. naming + LOC hygiene checks
4. pedantic lint
5. per-file coverage gate (95% minimum)

Current migration rule:
- keep new tests in the top-level `testing/` module
- legacy in-tree `_test.go` files are temporarily grandfathered through `testing/hygiene/in_tree_test_allowlist.txt` until they are migrated safely

Installer behavior:
- `scripts/install.sh` runs the quality gate by default
- override only for emergency break/fix: `ANANKE_ENFORCE_QUALITY_GATE=0`
- host quality runs keep writing local `ananke_quality_gate_*` metrics and also publish `platform_quality_gate_runs_total{suite="ananke",status=*}` to Pushgateway for shared Grafana panels
- override the Pushgateway target when running outside cluster DNS: `ANANKE_QUALITY_PUSHGATEWAY_URL=http://... ./scripts/quality_gate.sh`

## Growing with the lab

When adding nodes or services:
1. Update inventory and node mapping in config.
2. Add/adjust service checklist entries for anything user-facing or critical.
3. Add/adjust ingress expectations for exposed services.
4. Use temporary ignores only when truly intentional, then remove them.
5. Run `scripts/quality_gate.sh` before host deployment.

Recovery quality should improve over time: every drill should reduce manual work in the next drill.
