DOCFIX-187: opnsense-edge module boot fixes + boot-triple-fault incident report
...
Office1 OPNsense edge first-boot debugging. Several correct module fixes made;
the boot is NOT yet resolved (BTX-loader triple-fault under double-nested virt),
documented as an OPEN incident for the next session.
Module (opentofu/modules/opnsense-edge/main.tf), all kept (a working config
needs them, none resolved the fault):
- serial console (nano is serial-only; the module had none) + boot-log capture
- machine q35 -> i440fx (pc)
- disk COW-overlay -> direct per-VM copy (matches virt-install --import)
- CPU host-passthrough with AMD svm disabled (documented AMD nested-virt fix;
note the provider key is `features` plural, not `feature`)
Incident report docs/incident-20260712-opnsense-edge-boot-triplefault.md: full
symptom (boot2 echoes /boot.config then triple-faults loading /boot/loader, a
consistent 262-byte fault confirmed fresh each boot), environment (double-nested
AMD Opteron_G3), everything tried, and ranked next steps (full CPU flags
+kvm_pv_eoi/+kvm_pv_unhalt, add a video device for the -D dual console, mem 4G,
UEFI/OVMF, outer-hypervisor CPU). Ledger checkpoint added; session at context
limit.
repo-lint 0 fail; module tofu validate Success.

DC-DC Stage 1 (dc-dc-phase0): first real execution + scaffold/tooling fixes
...
First end-to-end run of a DC-DC runbook against real infrastructure (vcloud host,
OpenTofu v1.12.3). Applied 13 libvirt objects (6 DC1 planes, dc1/office1/dc2
pools, office1-local, 3 mesh legs, all MTU 9000); prior VR0 nets torn down (wan
kept as a gap-#17 model); DC2 planes deferred (NetBox supernet), DC2 storage wired.
DOCFIX-178: scripts/prereqs/ idempotent workstation prereq installers + a
Prerequisites section in the runbook + tests/prereqs/ (25/25). Runbooks must
not assume prereq runtimes.
DOCFIX-179: OpenTofu scaffold first validation + apply. Per-module
required_providers (child modules do NOT inherit provider SOURCE -> OpenTofu
inferred nonexistent hashicorp/libvirt); tofu fmt -recursive; provider "maas"
deferred to Stage 3 (kept a sensitive key out of Stage-1 plan/state);
repo-lint now skips the .terraform/ provider cache; .terraform.lock.hcl added.
DOCFIX-180: dc-dc-phase0 runbook as-executed corrections folded in at phase
close (two MTU domains, non-pristine-host handling, Step-9 13-resource plan,
-input=false, Known-Gap resolved).
repo-lint 0 fail; prereqs harness 25/25; repo-lint harness 34/34.

DOCFIX-148: OpenTofu module audit pass + provider-docs skill reference
...
Audited every "UNVERIFIED"/"inferred"/"assumed" marker across all 9 modules
built this session rather than leaving them as-is. Found and fixed a real
documentation error: opnsense-edge's comments claimed devices.interfaces
list order directly sets OPNsense's LAN/WAN role. Researching OPNsense's own
interface-assignment model showed this conflates two things -- list order
plausibly controls which vtnetN device number a NIC gets (libvirt's own
docs: auto-assigned PCI addresses "usually match" XML order for a simple
topology), but the actual LAN/WAN role is a separate, explicit mapping set
inside config.xml itself ("vtnet0=WAN" is a convention some guides choose,
not an enforced rule). Corrected main.tf's comments and both
lan_network_name/wan_network_name variable descriptions -- no config.xml
exists in this repo yet, so this fixes documentation accuracy for whoever
writes it next, not current behavior.
Confidence upgraded (not just re-hedged) on three other items: node-vm's
boot={order=N} shape (confirmed the provider 1:1-mirrors libvirt's own XML,
and libvirt's own docs confirm the single-attribute shape), create.content.url
accepting local paths (second independent source), and the genisoimage
flags (confirmed standard, cleanly separated from the still-open question of
whether OPNsense's Importer actually reads the result). Confirmed safe:
maas_vm_host's zone/pool computed-if-unset behavior.
Added .claude/skills/openstack-cloud-ops/references/opentofu-provider-docs.md:
indexes every provider/doc source used this session with exact URLs and
confirmed versions, plus the fetch methodology that actually worked
(Registry doc pages are JS-rendered, use GitHub instead; branch names vary,
check default_branch via the API; real example .tf files beat doc-summarized
prose for syntax questions). Wired into SKILL.md's routing table,
cross-referenced from opentofu/README.md in both directions without
duplicating content.

DOCFIX-146: opnsense-edge module + nano-image/config-ISO prep scripts
...
Implements the mechanism identified in today's OPNsense deployment research
(cloud-init confirmed unreliable on FreeBSD; the real native mechanism is
OPNsense's Configuration Importer, which scans an attached volume for
/conf/config.xml and gained ISO9660 support specifically for VM/cloud
automation).
scripts/opnsense-prep-image.sh: downloads the nano image, decompresses,
converts raw->qcow2, resizes -- work create.content.url almost certainly
can't do itself (a plain fetch, no decompression). No hardcoded mirror URL;
OPNSENSE_MIRROR_BASE is required explicitly.
scripts/opnsense-build-config-iso.sh: builds the ISO9660 image containing
/conf/config.xml that the Configuration Importer picks up.
opentofu/modules/opnsense-edge: wires both together, mechanically identical
to modules/cloudinit-vm's cdrom-attach shape but with no libvirt_cloudinit_disk
resource (wrong format for this). Explicit lan_network_name/wan_network_name
variables rather than an ordered list, since OPNsense's interface-1-is-LAN
convention makes list-ordering a real place for a silent mistake to hide. No
PXE boot-order attribute used -- this VM boots from its own disk, not the
network, so node-vm's flagged-unverified boot field doesn't apply here.
Both new scripts' harnesses (4/4, 3/3) exercise REAL missing-tool guards --
qemu-img/genisoimage/xorriso are all genuinely absent from this environment.
Two things flagged, not presented as fact: whether the Importer's ISO9660
behavior holds on a real boot, and whether interface list-order reliably
maps to LAN/WAN NIC enumeration for this guest. config_iso_path has no
default -- real config.xml content per site is still undesigned. Not
instantiated in root main.tf.
