CTO Agent ae1573d6e8 docs: add standalone worker node addition instruction
Created ADD_WORKER_NODE.md as a step-by-step checklist for adding
new worker nodes to the k3s cluster. This complements the existing
K3S_OPERATIONS.md with a focused, actionable guide.

Key features:
- Pre-flight checklist format
- Hetzner Cloud VM creation steps (console and CLI)
- SSH key requirements (cto-paperclip, silentmaxx)
- Firewall configuration verification
- Provisioning script usage
- Health verification steps
- Documentation update procedure
- Rollback instructions
- Troubleshooting guide

Created for DEV-408 (adding worker node to resolve Stalwart scheduling).

Infrastructure

This directory contains cluster-wide infrastructure configurations that support all applications.

Structure

networking/

Network-level configurations including:

  • Network Architecture - Comprehensive network architecture documentation
  • DNS Requirements - DNS records and configuration guide
  • Ingress controller configurations (Traefik)
  • Network policies
  • Load balancer configurations (k3s ServiceLB)
  • Certificate management (cert-manager, TLS)
  • Certificate reloading (Stakater Reloader)

monitoring/

Observability infrastructure:

  • Prometheus operator and configurations
  • Grafana dashboards and datasources
  • Logging stack (Loki, Promtail, etc.)
  • Alert rules and notification channels
  • Service monitors and pod monitors

Purpose

Infrastructure configurations in this directory are shared across all applications. Changes here can affect the entire cluster, so:

  1. Test thoroughly before applying
  2. Document all changes
  3. Consider the impact on existing deployments
  4. Coordinate with other team members

Adding Infrastructure Components

When adding new infrastructure components:

  1. Create appropriate subdirectories if needed
  2. Include clear documentation
  3. Define dependencies and prerequisites
  4. Provide rollback procedures
  5. Update this README with the new component
