+# CUST-WP-0071 wave 2 — apply evidence (2026-10-21/22, 22:00–22:50 UTC)
+
+**Authority:** `docs/decisions/2026-10-21-cust-wp-0071-delivery-interview.md`
+(sections "Wave 2" and "Wave 2 apply scope").
+
+**Method:**
+- Four worker agents prepared the owner changes in disjoint repo sets.
+- Each change was diffed against live as a full render, showing changed key paths
+  only, with no Secret values.
+- Applies went one owner at a time through the owner deploy path. Where an owner's
+  `make` target goes through the broken ssh hop, the equivalent local command was
+  used.
+- Databases were restarted one at a time, each followed by a health check.
+
+## Node CPU requests (of 4000m allocatable)
+
+| | CPU requested | Memory requested |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| Before wave 2 | 3840m (96%) | 12496Mi (78%) |
+| After wave 2 | **2755m (68%)** | 12356Mi (77%) |
+
+Afterwards, nothing was Pending, every Deployment and StatefulSet was Ready, and all
+50 ExternalSecrets reported SecretSynced. Argo CD apps were Synced and Healthy,
+except bao-notice and informed-decision, which were already OutOfSync before wave 2.
+
+## Applied
+
+- **Stateless applications:**
+  - core-hub (Helm 34), coulomb-social (Helm 17) and reuse-surface (Helm 12).
+  - issue-core: Argo CD pin 11af3cb.
+  - canned-prompts and sbom-nexus: runtime manifest only, so no migration Job re-ran.
+  - tenant-engine, audit-core (Deployment only), mail-address-semantics and rapp-qonto.
+  - email-connect, including the approved annotation drift.
+  - rein-aharness, including the approved labels; Deployment only.
+  - flex-auth-ops-warden (Helm 4).
+  - playwright: CPU limit 2 cores.
+  - Vergabe: memory 512Mi plus the approved release-unit label, Helm 4.
+  - inter-hub: release uninstalled.
+- **Identity stack:**
+  - lldap CPU limit raised from 200m to 1 core; it had been throttled 54%.
+  - authelia, keycape, identity-provisioner and privacyIDEA right-sized.
+  - Checks: KeyCape discovery returns 200, and the forge sign-in redirect works.
+- **Platform:**
+  - Argo CD controller and repo-server.
+  - ESO (Helm 9) and the openbao UI gateway.
+  - cert-manager (Helm 2): the ACME solver nameserver flag is now written into values.
+  - traefik, through its HelmChartConfig; ingress returned 200 throughout.
+- **Databases** (single-instance CNPG; each restart confirmed with the new requests
+  and Cluster in healthy state):
+
+  | Cluster | Restarted (UTC) | Notes |
+  |---|---|---|
+  | platform-pg-2 | — | — |
+  | platform-pg | — | dependents logged connection refusals for about 1 min after "healthy", then recovered |
+  | user-engine-pg | 22:33 | — |
+  | forgejo-db | 22:37 | the forge stayed reachable |
+  | net-kingdom-pg | 22:40 | — |
+  | target-revenue-pg | 22:42 | the first Argo sync stopped mid-restart; a second sync completed |
+
+- **activity-core:** the infrastructure, including the app-db and temporal-db
+  StatefulSets and their declared 1Gi limits, the relay and llm-connect.
+
+## Not applied (open, with owner records)
+
+- **flex-auth:** 8 of 9 releases. Chart HEAD would add `--caller-audience` and change
+  sitting's image; that needs owner review (FLEX-WP-0038-T01).
+- **activity-core api, worker and event-router:** the promotion check admits image
+  changes only, so this needs an exception (ACTIVITY-WP-0049-T01).
+- **CNPG operator (100m→50m):** it has no source file (RAPP-POSTGRES-WP-0008-T01).
+- **k3s addons** (coredns, metrics-server, local-path-provisioner): founder-run with
+  sudo on railiance01 (RCLUSTER-WP-0020-T03). kube-reserved and system-reserved
+  follow only after that and a measurement.
+- **Namespaces `coulomb` and `inter-hub`:** the founder checks leftover credential
+  objects before deleting them.

+Evidence: `docs/evidence/2026-10-22-wave2-apply.md`. Node CPU requests went from

+- the CNPG operator;
+- the founder-run k3s addons.
+
+The CPU limits of the throttled lldap (1 core) and playwright (2 cores) were raised.
+inter-hub was removed. Remaining for T03/T04: re-measure over a representative
+window (RAPP-TELEMETRY-WP-0002-T05 after 7 days) before T04 closes. T05 activation
