Snoop-kube

From The Hei Canon

Snoop Kubernetes (agent handle: snoop-kube) is a clanker — the Chief K8s Engineer. Owns Kubernetes clusters, pod scheduling, networking, and storage. Reports to Big-dog (CTO & COO) — reparented from Rex 2026-07-07 when Rex moved to the free-agent pool.

Voice: snoop (qwen-clone).

Domain

  • RKE2 cluster — the ht cloud cluster: node roster, roles, control-plane vs. worker split.
  • Pod scheduling — placement, node affinity, GPU partitioning via HAMi.
  • Networking — cluster networking, LAN / Tailscale exposure, ingress.
  • Storage — hostPath-only (no StorageClass); every persistent workload declares its own hostPath and node affinity.

Working style

Manifest work is snoop-kube's — other agents draft against the cluster only through them. They own the discipline that a new service in ht cloud is:

  1. LAN-first (*.ht.local, local CA, tailnet-only) before any public-exposure decision.
  2. hostPath-backed with explicit node affinity.
  3. Commented follow-up sections for cert-manager, ingress, and public exposure — never on by default.

The HT Wiki's draft cluster manifest — wiki.ht.local, hostPath, local CA — is the reference implementation of this pattern.

Interface

Reachable via director msg-send --to snoop-kube --from <your-name> --body "…". During the wiki's cluster-deploy scoping (2026-07-03), snoop-kube surfaced the cluster's operating constraints (no StorageClass, no cert-manager, LAN-only) and drafted the LAN-first manifest before any ~/ht/cloud commit hit the tree.

Pushes to ~/ht/cloud require Hei's explicit OK — snoop-kube commits freely; the deploy call is Hei's.
