sandbox-lifecycle.sh scales deployments to zero, patches the ArgoCD Application
and runs DROP OWNED ... CASCADE. Every one of those ran against whatever
kube-context happened to be current.
This workstation also carries a CLIENT production cluster. On 2026-07-25 a
`checkpoint refresh` was issued while the current context was
do-nyc3-kissmetrics-prod-k8s-cluster: the script patched the ArgoCD Application,
scaled `erp-sandbox` to zero and copied a prod secret — all against the client's
cluster. Nothing was damaged only because that cluster has no `application` CRD
and no erp/erp-sandbox namespaces, so each call failed silently under `|| true`.
That is luck, not a control.
- ERP_KUBE_CONTEXT (default: "default") pins the target; every kubectl call now
goes through K(), so nothing inherits the ambient context.
- assert_arcodange_cluster() proves the target by positive fingerprint — the
erp, erp-sandbox and argocd namespaces AND the erp-sandbox ArgoCD Application.
A client cluster cannot match all four by accident. Wired into all three
entry points, before any mutation.
Verified: refuses the client context, refuses an unknown context, passes on the
homelab and completes normally.

refresh-from-prod was structurally broken and silently no-op'd the restore:
1. pg_restore lacked -U, so the postgres image connected as its OS user `root`
and auth-failed. The failure was swallowed by `|| echo "ignorable warnings"`,
so the script reported success while the DROP OWNED had already emptied the DB.
E2's original seed was a manual process, so this path had never really run.
Fix: pass `-h $PGHOST -U $SB_PGUSER`; don't trust pg_restore's exit code (it
returns non-zero on the harmless "schema public already exists" notice) — verify
by counting restored llx_* tables and FAIL the Job if < 250.
2. erp-sandbox is ArgoCD-managed with self-heal ON, which reverts the
`kubectl scale --replicas=0` within seconds — so the seed ran with Dolibarr
still connected. Fix: pause self-heal for the duration, re-arm it after; app
restore + self-heal restoration + secret cleanup are guarded by an EXIT trap so
an interrupt can't strand the sandbox at replicas=0 / self-heal off.
Validated end-to-end on the live sandbox: 295 llx tables, company=Arcodange,
owner=erp_sandbox_role, self-heal re-armed, pod 1/1. README documents the self-heal
pause and the iso-prod consequence (ai_agent_sandbox is wiped → re-provision).

Productionizes the sandbox state-lifecycle mechanisms validated live against
erp-sandbox. `ops/sandbox/sandbox-lifecycle.sh`:
- refresh-from-prod: read-only pg_dump of prod erp (default_transaction_read_only)
-> DROP OWNED BY erp_sandbox_role CASCADE -> pg_restore into erp-sandbox, using
the sandbox's own membership creds (no DROP/CREATE DATABASE, no CREATEDB, no
superuser). Dumps the full public schema (so app helper functions + triggers
come over) and filters the provisioner-owned pgbouncer user_lookup function
from the restore TOC. Scales the pod to 0 for exclusive access; copies prod
creds into a transient secret that is deleted on exit.
- sync-documents: tar-pipe the documents/mycompany tree (company logo + uploads)
prod -> sandbox, since uploaded files live on the PVC, not the DB.
Prod integrity is structural: prod is read-only during dump; the restore can only
write erp-sandbox (erp_sandbox_role owns only the sandbox DB and cannot drop prod
erp/erp_role); the platform's only prod-capable superuser stays behind the
human-gated postgres.yaml CI and is never used here.
README documents the integrity guarantee, the encryption + PVC fidelity caveats,
the BDD reset loop, and the hardening backlog (dedicated read-only dump role,
golden-cache PVC).
