Draft capability entry (reuse-surface REUSE-WP-0017-T04, cohort 3)

Honest first-pass maturity vector grounded in README/docs/tests present
in this repo; no invented evidence. Flagged for human review before
publish. See reuse-surface history/2026-07-06-coverage-classification.md.

+# Railiance Cluster Runtime Bootstrap
+
+## Overview
+
+`railiance-cluster` is the cluster runtime entry point of the Railiance Infrastructure-as-Code framework: from two bare Linux servers, a Git repo, and credentials, it rebuilds a fully automated Kubernetes-based environment via convention-over-configuration IaC (Terraform/cloud-init/Ansible-adjacent tooling, `railiance` CLI).
+
+## Assessment notes
+
+### Discovery
+
+README documents the 'Rails for Ops' convention-over-configuration philosophy and a concrete quick-start (clone, from two bare servers rebuild a full k8s environment); has .forgejo CI already in place.
+
+### Availability
+
+Real Python package (pyproject, requires-python >=3.11) plus bin/railiance CLI and ansible playbooks (bootstrap/harden), with a documented quick-start path.
+
+### Completeness
+
+First-pass honest assessment from the REUSE-WP-0017 coverage campaign
+(reuse-surface). No external consumer feedback exists yet; levels reflect
+scope-vs-intent documentation quality, not internal code quality.
+
+### Reliability
+
+No production consumer telemetry exists yet; reliability level is
+intentionally conservative pending REUSE-WP-0019 reuse-telemetry evidence.
+
+## Promotion checklist
+
+- [x] ID follows `capability.<domain>.<name>` pattern
+- [x] Maturity enums match `specs/CapabilityMaturityStandard.md`
+- [x] `external_evidence` is populated separately from `maturity`
+- [ ] Relations reference valid capability IDs (none yet)
+- [x] Index entry added in `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml`
