Make the k3s API firewall allowlist declarative
The live host restricted 6443/tcp to specific operator addresses, added by hand, while this role still declared the port open to Anywhere with no source restriction. The declared config was weaker than reality: running the base role would have REMOVED the restriction and exposed the Kubernetes API to the internet. Security was tightened on the host and never fed back into the source of truth. Found 2026-08-11 while diagnosing lost cluster access, which turned out to be an ISP lease rotation (89.244.90.246 -> .236) against a hand-maintained allowlist. Changes: - defaults: k3s_api_allowed_sources (empty = 6443 closed to all external sources, the safe failure; SSH unaffected so the host stays recoverable) and k3s_api_revoked_sources, so rotated addresses are pruned rather than left as standing grants to whoever the ISP reassigns them to - tasks: grant approved sources, then remove any blanket rule, then revoke retired ones. Order matters - grants are added before the blanket rule is deleted so convergence never opens a window with no API access - group_vars/all.yaml: the current operator address, plus the two stale grants (.246 rotated, 85.132.220.102 historic) marked for revocation - docs/verification.md: state that 6443 is source-restricted rather than listing it as a plainly allowed port Not yet converged against the live host - the role change is committed but running it is a production action needing operator approval.
