Summary

• Adds Caddy reverse proxy site blocks for landscaping-assistant.app to the Hetzner edge-proxy Caddyfile template
• Follows the identical pattern established by palinks.app in PR #439
• Enables public HTTPS ingress for landscaping-assistant.app once DNS is pointed to the edge VPS

Changes

• salt/states/caddy/Caddyfile.j2: Added two site blocks — landscaping-assistant.app with reverse_proxy to landscaping-assistant.tail5b443a.ts.net:443 (TLS server name validated), and www.landscaping-assistant.app with permanent redirect to the apex domain

Test Plan

• Existing palinks.app site blocks are unchanged in the diff
• After merge and highstate, confirm Caddy reloads without error on the edge-proxy
• Verify curl -I https://landscaping-assistant.app returns a valid response (once DNS is pointed)
• Verify curl -I https://www.landscaping-assistant.app returns a 301 redirect to the apex domain

Review Checklist

• Passed automated review-fix loop
• No secrets committed
• No unnecessary file changes
• Commit messages are descriptive
• Feature flag needed? No — infrastructure config change, no user-visible workflow

PR #442 Review

DOMAIN REVIEW

Tech stack: Salt/Caddy (infrastructure configuration -- Jinja2 template for Caddy reverse proxy)

Architecture context: The Hetzner edge-proxy (178.156.129.142) runs Caddy as a TLS-terminating reverse proxy. Public domains hit this VPS, Caddy obtains ACME certificates automatically, and reverse-proxies upstream to Tailscale hostnames on port 443 with explicit tls_server_name for certificate validation. Salt manages the Caddyfile via a Jinja2 template rendered during highstate.

Pattern analysis: The diff adds two hardcoded site blocks for landscaping-assistant.app -- one reverse proxy block and one www-to-apex redirect. The pattern mirrors the original palinks.app blocks from PR #439. The Caddy configuration itself is correct:

• HTTPS upstream on port 443 with tls_server_name matching the Tailscale FQDN -- good, prevents certificate mismatch
• Permanent redirect for www subdomain preserves URI path -- correct
• Comment header is clear and consistent with the palinks.app section

BLOCKERS

1. Stale base branch -- PR will conflict with or regress pillarized Caddyfile (BLOCKER)

PR #441 (f7dad45) was merged to main AFTER this branch was created. That PR converted the Caddyfile.j2 from hardcoded site blocks to a data-driven Jinja2 loop over pillar['caddy']['sites']. The current main-branch Caddyfile.j2 looks like this:

{%- set sites = salt['pillar.get']('caddy:sites', {}) %}
{%- for site_id, site in sites.items() %}
# --- {{ site.domain }} ---
{{ site.domain }} {
    reverse_proxy {{ site.proxy_target }}:443 {
        transport http {
            tls_server_name {{ site.proxy_target }}
        }
    }
}
{%- if site.get('www_redirect', false) %}
www.{{ site.domain }} {
    redir https://{{ site.domain }}{uri} permanent
}
{%- endif %}
{%- endfor %}

This PR adds hardcoded blocks below the {%- endfor %} tag (or worse, conflicts entirely). The correct approach post-#441 is to add a pillar entry for the landscaping-assistant site, not to edit the template. The pillar entry would be:

caddy:
  sites:
    landscaping:
      domain: landscaping-assistant.app
      proxy_target: landscaping-assistant.tail5b443a.ts.net
      www_redirect: true

The init.sls comment block already documents this exact pillar structure with landscaping-assistant as an example. This PR should be rebased onto current main and reworked to add pillar data instead of template hardcoding.

2. Upstream hostname discrepancy (potential BLOCKER -- needs verification)

The PR uses landscaping-assistant.tail5b443a.ts.net as the upstream target. However, the pillar example already documented in init.sls on main uses landscaping.tail5b443a.ts.net (without -assistant). One of these is wrong. The actual Tailscale machine name must be verified before merge to avoid a broken upstream.

NITS

1. The PR body says "Follows the identical pattern established by palinks.app in PR #439" -- this is true of the original pattern, but that pattern was superseded by #441's pillarization. The PR body should reference the current approach.

2. No test plan entry for validating the Jinja2 template renders correctly (e.g., salt-call state.show_sls caddy or caddy validate). Post-pillarization, the test plan should include verifying the rendered output includes both sites.

SOP COMPLIANCE

• PR body has Summary, Changes, Test Plan, Related sections
• No secrets committed (Tailscale hostname is not a secret -- it is only reachable within the tailnet)
• No unnecessary file changes (single file, on-target for issue #434)
• Commit message is descriptive and references issue number
• Changes are incompatible with current main -- base branch is stale

PROCESS OBSERVATIONS

• Change failure risk: HIGH. Merging this PR would either fail due to merge conflict (best case) or silently regress the Caddyfile from data-driven to a hybrid of loop-generated + hardcoded blocks (worst case). The pillarization in #441 was explicitly designed to make adding new domains a pillar-only change.
• Correct remediation: Close this PR. Rebase the branch onto current main. Add pillar data for landscaping-assistant.app instead of editing the template. Verify the correct Tailscale hostname. Open a new PR.
• Dependency chain awareness: This is part of the three-wave custom domain chain (Terraform DNS -> Caddy -> app config). The Caddy wave must land cleanly for the chain to complete.

VERDICT: NOT APPROVED

The PR is based on a stale branch and adds hardcoded site blocks to a template that has since been pillarized (PR #441). Merging would regress or conflict with the current data-driven architecture. The fix is straightforward: rebase onto main and add a pillar entry instead of editing the template. The upstream hostname (landscaping-assistant vs landscaping) must also be verified against the actual Tailscale machine name.

Rebased and reworked per QA review. The original commit added static site blocks to Caddyfile.j2, but PR #441 has since merged and pillarized the template. The branch has been rebased onto current main and the approach changed to pillar-only:

Changes in updated commit:

• salt/pillar/caddy.sls (new) -- pillar data with both palinks.app and landscaping-assistant.app site definitions
• salt/pillar/top.sls -- assigns caddy pillar to edge-proxy minion
• salt/states/top.sls -- assigns caddy state to edge-proxy minion
• Caddyfile.j2 -- no longer touched (template loop from #441 handles it)

Tailscale hostname: Uses landscaping.tail5b443a.ts.net per the documented expected pillar structure in init.sls (line 22), not landscaping-assistant.tail5b443a.ts.net.

PR #442 Review (Re-review after rebase onto pillarized template)

DOMAIN REVIEW

Tech stack: Salt (pillar YAML, state top.sls). Reviewed against Salt/IaC domain checklist.

Pillar structure alignment: The new salt/pillar/caddy.sls defines two sites under caddy.sites with keys domain, proxy_target, and www_redirect. This matches exactly what the Caddyfile.j2 template consumes:

{%- set sites = salt['pillar.get']('caddy:sites', {}) %}
{%- for site_id, site in sites.items() %}

Each expected key (site.domain, site.proxy_target, site.get('www_redirect', false)) is present in both pillar entries. No missing keys, no extra unused keys.

Proxy target verification: landscaping.tail5b443a.ts.net matches the hostname documented in salt/states/caddy/init.sls header comment. palinks.tail5b443a.ts.net matches the existing working configuration.

Top.sls wiring: Both salt/pillar/top.sls and salt/states/top.sls add the edge-proxy minion ID targeting the caddy pillar and state respectively. This is the correct two-file pattern -- the state needs pillar data to render, and the state must be assigned to run.

Graceful reload: The init.sls (from PR #441) uses caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile via cmd.run with onchanges, so adding the landscaping site will trigger a graceful reload, not a service restart. Existing palinks.app connections are preserved.

Pillar comments: The header block in caddy.sls clearly documents all keys and their purpose. Good operator UX.

Approach correctness (post-rebase): This is now purely a pillar-data change -- the template and state logic were established in PR #441. Adding a new domain is exactly the workflow the pillarization was designed to enable: add data, not logic. Clean separation.

BLOCKERS

None.

NITS

1. Stale PR body: The "Changes" section references salt/states/caddy/Caddyfile.j2 edits ("Added two site blocks"), but the actual diff only touches salt/pillar/caddy.sls, salt/pillar/top.sls, and salt/states/top.sls. This is leftover from the pre-rebase approach. The summary should be updated to reflect the pillar-only change.

2. Extra space in comment alignment: Line 9 of caddy.sls has www_redirect: whether (two spaces before "whether") while other key descriptions use single space. Cosmetic only.

SOP COMPLIANCE

• PR body has Summary, Changes, Test Plan, Related -- all present
• PR body Changes section matches actual diff -- stale (see nit #1)
• No secrets committed -- proxy targets are hostnames, not credentials
• No unnecessary file changes -- all 3 files are required for the feature
• Commit messages are descriptive (branch name: 434-caddy-landscaping-assistant-app)
• Closes parent issue #434

PROCESS OBSERVATIONS

• Deployment frequency: This is the data-only half of a two-PR pattern (#441 pillarized the template, #442 adds data). Good decomposition -- the risky refactor shipped separately from the feature addition.
• Change failure risk: Low. The pillar structure is validated by the existing palinks.app entry which is already serving traffic. The landscaping entry follows the identical pattern.
• Prerequisite awareness: The edge-proxy is noted as not yet a Salt minion (installed via cloud-init). The top.sls entries will take effect once the minion is registered and a highstate is run.

VERDICT: APPROVED

PR #442 Review

DOMAIN REVIEW

Stack: Salt (pillar/state management), Caddy (reverse proxy), Jinja2 templating

This PR completes the pillarization of Caddy site configuration by creating salt/pillar/caddy.sls and wiring it into both pillar/top.sls and states/top.sls for the edge-proxy minion. The change is data-only -- no template or state logic is modified.

Salt compliance:

• Pillar structure matches what salt/states/caddy/init.sls documents and what Caddyfile.j2 consumes via salt['pillar.get']('caddy:sites', {}) -- keys domain, proxy_target, www_redirect are all present and correctly typed
• Top file assignments target edge-proxy, which is the correct Hetzner VPS minion for Caddy
• The pillar file includes both palinks and landscaping sites, so existing palinks.app routing is preserved (not a regression)
• State ordering in init.sls is correct: file.managed -> service.running -> cmd.run with onchanges

Caddy/TLS verification:

• proxy_target: landscaping.tail5b443a.ts.net uses the Tailscale MagicDNS hostname. The template appends :443 and sets tls_server_name for upstream certificate validation -- this prevents MITM on the Tailscale link
• www_redirect: true generates a www.landscaping-assistant.app block with a permanent 301 redirect to the apex domain

Secrets handling:

• No secrets in the diff. Proxy targets reference Tailscale hostnames (public-facing MagicDNS names), not credentials

BLOCKERS

None.

NITS

1. PR body describes the wrong file. The ## Changes section says: "salt/states/caddy/Caddyfile.j2: Added two site blocks". The actual diff modifies salt/pillar/caddy.sls (new), salt/pillar/top.sls, and salt/states/top.sls. The Caddyfile.j2 template is untouched. The PR body should accurately describe what changed -- the pillar data and top file wiring, not the template.

2. Pillar file comment says www_redirect but key is www_redirect. Minor: the comment block at the top of caddy.sls uses the label www_redirect: with a trailing colon which reads slightly like YAML rather than documentation prose. Not a functional issue.

3. Review checklist item "Passed automated review-fix loop" is unchecked. This is expected if this is the first review pass.

SOP COMPLIANCE

• PR body has: Summary, Changes, Test Plan, Related -- all present
• No secrets committed -- proxy targets are Tailscale hostnames, not credentials
• No unnecessary file changes -- 3 files, all directly related to the task
• Commit messages are descriptive (branch name 434-caddy-landscaping-assistant-app is clear)
• PR body ## Changes section is inaccurate -- describes Caddyfile.j2 modification but the actual diff is pillar/top file changes only (nit, not blocking)

PROCESS OBSERVATIONS

• Change failure risk: Low. This is a data-only change feeding an already-proven template. The palinks.app pattern is identical and was validated in PR #439. The pillarization refactor (PR #441) already converted the template to be data-driven, so this PR just provides the data.
• Deployment frequency: This completes the Caddy leg of the three-wave custom domain chain (DNS -> Caddy -> app config). Once merged and highstate is run, the edge-proxy will serve landscaping-assistant.app.
• Validation dependency: The test plan correctly notes that curl validation depends on DNS being pointed first. Post-merge validation should confirm Caddy reload succeeds even before DNS cutover.

VERDICT: APPROVED
