refactor(apps): move forte-drop apps from base to upc-dev overlay

forte-drop, forte-drop-mcp and forte-drop-postgresql lived under apps/base/
but were only ever wired into the upc-dev overlay (never listed in
apps/base/kustomization.yaml). They carry hackathon-domain hardcoded values
and must not sync to upc-prod, so they belong in the overlay alongside
dbunk-demo — per danijel.simeunovic's review on PR #18.

- git mv the three dirs into apps/overlays/upc-dev/ (history preserved)
- rewrite overlay kustomization refs from ../../base/forte-drop* to local
- repoint forte-drop-postgresql Application path
  apps/base/... -> apps/overlays/upc-dev/forte-drop-postgresql/resources

Render-verified: kubectl kustomize apps/overlays/upc-dev differs only by the
postgres path line; apps/overlays/upc-prod render byte-identical (forte-drop
never reaches prod).

+# forte-drop Postgres — backup & restore runbook
+
+## What gets backed up
+
+A CronJob (`forte-drop-pg-backup`, namespace `forte-drop`) runs nightly at **02:00 UTC**:
+
+1. `pg_dump` of the `drops` database → gzip.
+2. Upload to **UpCloud Managed Object Storage**: `s3://drops/_pgbackups/forte-drop-<TS>.sql.gz`
+   (the `_pgbackups/` prefix is collision-proof: app slugs match `/^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,62}$/`
+   and can never start with `_`).
+3. Retention: dumps older than **30 days** are pruned.
+
+S3 creds come from the `forte-drop-secrets` Secret (`S3_ENDPOINT` / `S3_KEY` / `S3_SECRET`).
+Postgres creds from `forte-drop-pg-creds` (`pgusername` / `pgpassword`).
+
+> **Object storage is the durable tier.** App data + DB backups both live in UpCloud
+> Managed Object Storage (replicated by UpCloud). The in-cluster Postgres PVC is the
+> live working copy; the nightly dump is the recovery point. The PVC carries
+> `Prune=false,Delete=false` so ArgoCD never deletes it.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+```bash
+export KUBECONFIG=~/Downloads/dev-fd-no-svg1_kubeconfig.yaml
+# Confirm the namespace + DB pod are up:
+kubectl -n forte-drop get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=postgresql
+```
+
+## List available backups
+
+```bash
+# Run an ephemeral mc pod with the app's S3 creds:
+kubectl -n forte-drop run mc-list --rm -it --restart=Never \
+  --image=quay.io/minio/mc:RELEASE.2024-11-21T17-21-54Z \
+  --overrides='{"spec":{"containers":[{"name":"mc","image":"quay.io/minio/mc:RELEASE.2024-11-21T17-21-54Z","command":["sh","-c","mc alias set obj \"$S3_ENDPOINT\" \"$S3_KEY\" \"$S3_SECRET\" >/dev/null && mc ls obj/drops/_pgbackups/"],"envFrom":[{"secretRef":{"name":"forte-drop-secrets"}}]}]}}'
+```
+
+## Manually trigger a backup (before risky changes)
+
+```bash
+kubectl -n forte-drop create job --from=cronjob/forte-drop-pg-backup pg-backup-manual-$(date +%s)
+# Watch:
+kubectl -n forte-drop get jobs -l app.kubernetes.io/component=backup
+kubectl -n forte-drop logs -l app.kubernetes.io/component=backup --tail=40
+```
+
+## Restore a dump
+
+> **Destructive.** This overwrites the live `drops` database. Take a fresh manual
+> backup first (above) and confirm with whoever owns the data before proceeding.
+
+### 1. Pick the dump to restore
+
+List backups (above), choose `forte-drop-<TS>.sql.gz`.
+
+### 2. Run a restore pod that pulls the dump and pipes it into Postgres
+
+```bash
+DUMP="forte-drop-20260530T020000Z.sql.gz"   # <-- set to the chosen file
+
+kubectl -n forte-drop run pg-restore --rm -it --restart=Never \
+  --image=postgres:16-alpine \
+  --overrides='{
+    "spec": {
+      "containers": [{
+        "name": "restore",
+        "image": "postgres:16-alpine",
+        "command": ["sh","-c","set -euo pipefail; \
+          apk add --no-cache curl >/dev/null; \
+          # download via mc is simpler — use a 2-step instead (see note). \
+          echo placeholder"],
+        "envFrom": [
+          {"secretRef":{"name":"forte-drop-pg-creds"}},
+          {"secretRef":{"name":"forte-drop-secrets"}}
+        ]
+      }]
+    }
+  }'
+```
+
+**Simpler 2-pod approach (recommended — avoids cramming mc + psql in one image):**
+
+```bash
+DUMP="forte-drop-20260530T020000Z.sql.gz"
+
+# (a) Download the dump from object storage to a local file:
+kubectl -n forte-drop run mc-get --rm -it --restart=Never \
+  --image=quay.io/minio/mc:RELEASE.2024-11-21T17-21-54Z \
+  --overrides='{"spec":{"containers":[{"name":"mc","image":"quay.io/minio/mc:RELEASE.2024-11-21T17-21-54Z","command":["sh","-c","mc alias set obj \"$S3_ENDPOINT\" \"$S3_KEY\" \"$S3_SECRET\" >/dev/null && mc cat obj/drops/_pgbackups/'"$DUMP"'"],"envFrom":[{"secretRef":{"name":"forte-drop-secrets"}}]}]}}' \
+  > /tmp/$DUMP
+
+# (b) Pipe it into the live Postgres via the service:
+gunzip -c /tmp/$DUMP | kubectl -n forte-drop run pg-restore --rm -i --restart=Never \
+  --image=postgres:16-alpine \
+  --overrides='{"spec":{"containers":[{"name":"psql","image":"postgres:16-alpine","stdin":true,"command":["sh","-c","PGPASSWORD=\"$pgpassword\" psql -h forte-drop-postgresql.forte-drop.svc -U \"$pgusername\" -d drops"],"env":[{"name":"pgusername","valueFrom":{"secretKeyRef":{"name":"forte-drop-pg-creds","key":"pgusername"}}},{"name":"pgpassword","valueFrom":{"secretKeyRef":{"name":"forte-drop-pg-creds","key":"pgpassword"}}}]}]}}'
+```
+
+> The app's schema is created idempotently on boot (`CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` +
+> `ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` in `src/repo/pg.ts`), and `pg_dump`
+> output includes the data. For a clean restore into a fresh DB this just works.
+> To restore over an existing DB with conflicting rows, drop/recreate the `drops`
+> database first (coordinate downtime — scale the web Deployment to 0 during the
+> restore so the app isn't writing).
+
+### 3. Verify
+
+```bash
+kubectl -n forte-drop run pg-check --rm -it --restart=Never \
+  --image=postgres:16-alpine \
+  --env="PGPASSWORD=$(kubectl -n forte-drop get secret forte-drop-pg-creds -o jsonpath='{.data.pgpassword}' | base64 -d)" \
+  --command -- psql -h forte-drop-postgresql.forte-drop.svc -U drops -d drops \
+  -c "SELECT count(*) AS drops FROM drops;" -c "SELECT count(*) AS view_hits FROM view_hits;"
+```
+
+### 4. Bring the app back
+
+```bash
+# If you scaled web to 0 for the restore:
+kubectl -n forte-drop scale deploy/forte-drop --replicas=2
+```
+
+## Object data (uploaded drop files)
+
+Drop files live in `s3://drops/<slug>/...` in the same managed bucket. They are
+**not** part of the pg backup (the dump only holds metadata). Object storage is
+UpCloud-managed/replicated, so no separate file backup is configured. If a
+file-level backup is later required, mirror the bucket to a second bucket/region:
+
+```bash
+mc mirror --overwrite obj/drops/ backup-target/drops-mirror/
+```
+
+(Exclude `_pgbackups/` from the app-data mirror if you split them.)
+
+## Disaster scenarios
+
+| Scenario | Recovery |
+|---|---|
+| Postgres pod crash / reschedule | StatefulSet reattaches the PVC; ~1–2 min downtime; no data loss. |
+| PVC lost / corrupted | Recreate StatefulSet, restore latest nightly dump (above). Data since last dump is lost. |
+| Accidental `drops` table data loss | Restore latest dump; or `pg_restore` a single table from a dump. |
+| Namespace deleted | PVC has `Prune=false,Delete=false`; recreate Applications, PVC re-binds, app recovers. Backups in object storage are independent. |
+| Object storage bucket lost | UpCloud-managed (replicated). If the IAM key is rotated, update `forte-drop-secrets` (re-seal). |

 ### Understanding Secret Management
 
-Secrets are managed via **HashiCorp Vault** and synced to Kubernetes by the **Vault Secrets Operator (VSO)**. See [Vault Secrets Operator Reference](vault-secrets-operator.md) for full details.
+**NEVER commit plain secrets to Git.** We use **Sealed Secrets** to encrypt secrets before committing.
-
-**NEVER commit plain secret values to Git.** Only VaultStaticSecret CRD manifests are committed.
 
 ### Creating a New Secret
 
-#### Step 1: Write Secret to Vault
+#### Step 1: Create Plain Secret Locally
 
 ```bash
-vault kv put kv/myapp/myapp-credentials \
+cd ~/dev/k8s/launchpad
-  API_KEY=your-secret-key-here \
+
-  DB_PASSWORD=super-secret-password
+# Create secret in private/ folder (Git-ignored)
+kubectl create secret generic myapp-credentials \
+  --from-literal=API_KEY=your-secret-key-here \
+  --from-literal=DB_PASSWORD=super-secret-password \
+  --dry-run=client -o yaml > private/myapp-credentials.yaml
 ```
 
-#### Step 2: Create VaultStaticSecret CRD
+**DO NOT commit this file!** It's in `private/` which is Git-ignored.
 
-Create a YAML file (e.g., `apps/base/myapp/myapp-credentials-vault.yaml`):
+#### Step 2: Seal the Secret
 
-```yaml
+Seal your secret:
-apiVersion: secrets.hashicorp.com/v1beta1
-kind: VaultStaticSecret
-metadata:
-  name: myapp-credentials
-  namespace: myapp
-spec:
-  type: kv-v2
-  mount: kv
-  path: myapp/myapp-credentials
-  destination:
-    name: myapp-credentials
-    create: true
-  refreshAfter: 30s
-  vaultAuthRef: vault-auth
-```
-
-#### Step 3: Add VaultAuth (if new namespace)
-
-If this is a new namespace, also create a `vault-auth.yaml` with a ServiceAccount and VaultAuth CRD. See [VSO Reference](vault-secrets-operator.md#vaultauth) for template.
-
-#### Step 4: Commit and Push
 
 ```bash
-git add apps/base/myapp/myapp-credentials-vault.yaml
+kubeseal --format=yaml \
-git commit -m "Add myapp credentials (VSO)"
+  --namespace=myapp \
+  < private/myapp-credentials.yaml \
+  > secrets/myapp-credentials-sealed.yaml
+```
+
+#### Step 3: Commit Sealed Secret
+
+```bash
+git add secrets/myapp-credentials-sealed.yaml
+git commit -m "Add myapp credentials (sealed)"
 git push
 ```
 
-ArgoCD syncs the CRD, VSO creates the K8s Secret.
+#### Step 4: Reference Secret in Application
-
-#### Step 5: Reference Secret in Application
 
 Update your `helm-prod-values/myapp/values.yaml`:
 
 ```yaml
 app:
-  envSecretName: "myapp-credentials"  # VSO creates this K8s Secret
+  envSecretName: "myapp-credentials"  # References the SealedSecret
 ```
 
-### Updating / Rotating a Secret
+Commit and push:
-
-**No git commit needed** — just update in Vault:
-
 ```bash
-vault kv put kv/myapp/myapp-credentials \
+cd ~/dev/k8s/helm-prod-values
-  API_KEY=new-key-here \
+git add myapp/values.yaml
-  DB_PASSWORD=new-password
+git commit -m "Reference myapp credentials"
+git push
 ```
 
-VSO picks up changes within 30 seconds. Restart pods if they don't watch for secret updates:
+### Updating a Secret
+
+To update an existing secret:
 
 ```bash
+# 1. Create new version of secret
+kubectl create secret generic myapp-credentials \
+  --from-literal=API_KEY=new-key-here \
+  --from-literal=DB_PASSWORD=new-password \
+  --dry-run=client -o yaml > private/myapp-credentials.yaml
+
+# 2. Seal it
+kubeseal --format=yaml \
+  --namespace=myapp \
+  < private/myapp-credentials.yaml \

+git add secrets/myapp-credentials-sealed.yaml
+git commit -m "Update myapp credentials"
+git push
+
+# 4. Restart pods to pick up new secret
 kubectl rollout restart deployment myapp -n myapp
 ```
 
 ### Secret Best Practices
 
-- Write secrets to Vault via UI or CLI — never commit values to Git
+✅ **DO**:
-- Use meaningful secret names matching the KV path convention: `kv/{namespace}/{secret-name}`
+- Store secrets in `private/` folder locally
+- Always seal secrets before committing
+- Delete plain secrets after sealing
+- Use meaningful secret names
 - Document what each secret contains
-- Use Vault's versioning for audit trail
+
+❌ **DON'T**:
+- Commit plain secrets to Git
+- Share secrets via Slack/email
+- Hard-code secrets in code
+- Use the same secret across multiple environments
+- Store secrets in Docker images
 
 ### Where Secrets Are Stored

+### Keycloak Browser Flow (IdP Auto-Redirect)
+
+**File**: `infra/values/base/keycloak-values.yaml` (inside `forte-realm.json`)
+
+The realm uses a custom browser authentication flow (`browser-auto-idp`) that skips the Keycloak login page and redirects directly to the Entra ID identity provider.
+
+**Flow executions**:
+
+| Priority | Authenticator | Requirement | Purpose |
+|----------|--------------|-------------|---------|
+| 10 | `auth-cookie` | ALTERNATIVE | Reuse existing session (no redirect) |
+| 20 | `identity-provider-redirector` | ALTERNATIVE | Auto-redirect to `forte-entra` IdP |
+
+**Key fields in realm JSON**:
+- `"browserFlow": "browser-auto-idp"` — overrides the default `browser` flow at realm level
+- `"authenticationFlows"` — defines the custom flow with its executions
+- `"authenticatorConfig"` — sets `defaultProvider: "forte-entra"` on the redirector
+
+**Why custom flow**: The default KC browser flow shows a username/password form with an IdP button. Since all authentication is via Entra ID, the custom flow eliminates this step. The `auth-cookie` execution preserves session reuse so returning users aren't redirected again.
+
+**Important**: The `forte-entra` identity provider must exist in Keycloak (currently configured manually in the KC admin console). If the IdP alias changes, update the `defaultProvider` value in the realm JSON.

 ### Keycloak Client Registrar

@@ -1384,46 +1454,6 @@ spec:
 - Adds source tracking annotations (`keycloak.forteapps.net/source-namespace`, `keycloak.forteapps.net/source-name`)
 - `synchronize: true` — changes to the source Secret are reflected in the clone
 
-### Keycloak Microsoft/Entra Identity Provider
-
-**File**: `infra/values/upc-dev/keycloak-values.yaml`
-**Namespace**: `keycloak`
-
-**Purpose**: Configures Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) as an external identity provider for the Forte realm, enabling SSO via Microsoft accounts with token storage for downstream API access (e.g., Microsoft Graph).
-
-**Configuration via keycloakConfigCli**:
-- IdP alias: `forte-entra`, provider: `microsoft`
-- Client secret injected from `microsoft-idp-credentials` Secret via `$(env:MS_IDP_CLIENT_SECRET)` syntax
-- `extraEnvVarsSecret: microsoft-idp-credentials` makes the Secret available as env vars to config-cli
-
-**Key Configuration Notes**:
-
-| Field | Location | Notes |
-|-------|----------|-------|
-| `tenant` | `config.tenant` | **Must be `tenant`, NOT `tenantId`** — wrong key silently falls back to `common` (multi-tenant) |
-| `storeToken` | Top-level IdP field | **NOT inside `config`** — enables broker token storage for KC broker API |
-| `defaultScope` | `config.defaultScope` | Space-separated: `openid email profile User.Read Mail.Send` |
-| `syncMode` | `config.syncMode` | `IMPORT` — imports user on first login |
-
-**Token Storage & Broker Access**:
-- `storeToken: true` persists the Entra access token in Keycloak
-- Realm role `default-roles-forte` includes composite `broker.read-token` — grants all realm users access to broker token API
-- Broker token retrievable via: `GET /realms/forte/broker/forte-entra/token`
-
-**Identity Provider Mappers**:
-- `forte-entra-email`: Hardcodes `emailVerified=true` for Entra-authenticated users (Entra guarantees email verification)
-
-**Required Secret** (`microsoft-idp-credentials`):
-```yaml
-apiVersion: v1
-kind: Secret
-metadata:
-  name: microsoft-idp-credentials
-  namespace: keycloak
-stringData:
-  MS_IDP_CLIENT_SECRET: "<entra-app-client-secret>"

-# Vault Secrets Operator (VSO) Reference
-
-## Overview
-
-The platform uses HashiCorp Vault Secrets Operator (VSO) to sync secrets from Vault KV v2 to native Kubernetes Secrets. This replaces the previous SealedSecrets workflow.
-
-**Key benefit**: Secret values can be rotated via Vault UI/CLI without a git commit. Only new VaultStaticSecret CRDs need to be committed.
-
-## Architecture
-
-```
-Vault (KV v2)                VSO                        K8s Secret
-kv/{namespace}/{name}  -->  VaultStaticSecret CRD  -->  Secret in namespace
-                            (polls every 30s)
-```
-
-- **Vault**: Standalone instance in `vault` namespace, KV v2 at `kv/`
-- **VSO**: Deployed in `vault-secrets-operator-system` namespace via ArgoCD
-- **Auth**: Kubernetes auth method — each namespace has its own ServiceAccount + VaultAuth CRD
-
-## KV Path Convention
-
-```
-kv/{namespace}/{secret-name}
-```
-
-Examples:
-- `kv/homepage/homepage-widget-credentials`
-- `kv/argocd/forte-helm-repo`
-- `kv/gitea/gitea-smtp-secret`
-- `kv/keycloak/keycloak-credentials`
-
-## Vault Policy Structure
-
-Each namespace gets a read-only policy:
-
-```hcl
-# Policy: ns-{namespace}
-path "kv/data/{namespace}/*" {
-  capabilities = ["read"]
-}
-path "kv/metadata/{namespace}/*" {
-  capabilities = ["read", "list"]
-}
-```
-
-## Kubernetes Auth Roles
-
-Each namespace has a bound ServiceAccount:
-
-```
-Role: ns-{namespace}
-  bound_service_account_names: vault-auth-{namespace}
-  bound_service_account_namespaces: {namespace}
-  policies: ns-{namespace}
-  audience: vault
-  ttl: 1h
-```
-
-## CRD Reference
-
-### VaultAuth
-
-Per-namespace auth binding. One per namespace.
-
-```yaml
-apiVersion: secrets.hashicorp.com/v1beta1
-kind: VaultAuth
-metadata:
-  name: vault-auth
-  namespace: {namespace}
-spec:
-  method: kubernetes
-  mount: kubernetes
-  kubernetes:
-    role: ns-{namespace}
-    serviceAccount: vault-auth-{namespace}
-    audiences:
-    - vault
-```
-
-Each VaultAuth requires a corresponding ServiceAccount:
-
-```yaml
-apiVersion: v1
-kind: ServiceAccount
-metadata:
-  name: vault-auth-{namespace}
-  namespace: {namespace}
-```
-
-### VaultStaticSecret
-
-One per secret. Syncs a Vault KV path to a K8s Secret.
-
-```yaml
-apiVersion: secrets.hashicorp.com/v1beta1
-kind: VaultStaticSecret
-metadata:
-  name: {secret-name}
-  namespace: {namespace}
-spec:
-  type: kv-v2
-  mount: kv
-  path: {namespace}/{secret-name}
-  destination:
-    name: {secret-name}        # K8s Secret name (must match what apps expect)
-    create: true
-    type: Opaque               # Optional, defaults to Opaque
-    labels:                    # Optional, for secrets that need labels
-      some-label: "value"
-  refreshAfter: 30s
-  vaultAuthRef: vault-auth
-```
-
-## Special Labels
-
-Some secrets require specific labels for correct operation:
-
-| Secret | Label | Purpose |
-|--------|-------|---------|
-| `renovate-env` | `allowedToBeCloned: "true"` | Kyverno secret-cloner policy |
-| `gitea-smtp-secret` | `allowedToBeCloned: "true"` | Kyverno secret-cloner policy |
-| `forte-helm-repo` | `argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: repository` | ArgoCD repository recognition |
-| `forte10x-repo-creds` | `argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: repository` | ArgoCD repository recognition |
-| `mcp10x-repo-creds` | `argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: repository` | ArgoCD repository recognition |
-
-These are set in `destination.labels` of the VaultStaticSecret CRD.
-
-## Namespaces & Secrets Map
-
-| Namespace | Secrets |
-|-----------|---------|
-| `homepage` | homepage-widget-credentials |
-| `renovate` | renovate-env |
-| `gitea` | gitea-credentials, gitea-backup-s3, gitea-smtp-secret, gitea-runner-token |
-| `keycloak` | keycloak-credentials, microsoft-idp-credentials (overlay) |
-| `argocd` | forte-helm-repo, forte10x-repo-creds, mcp10x-repo-creds, argocd-notifications-secret |
-| `mcp10x` | app-credentials |
-| `ts-mcp` | ts-mcp-secrets |
-| `argocd-mcp` | auth-oidc, argocd-mcp-credentials |
-| `dot-ai` | dot-ai-secrets |
-| `music-man` | musicman-credentials |
-
-## Common Operations
-
-### Add a new secret
-
-1. Write to Vault:
-   ```bash
-   vault kv put kv/{namespace}/{secret-name} key1=val1 key2=val2
-   ```
-
-2. Create VaultStaticSecret YAML (see template above)
-
-3. Add to kustomization.yaml in the appropriate directory
-
-4. Commit and push — ArgoCD syncs the CRD, VSO creates the K8s Secret
-
-### Rotate a secret value
-
-No git commit needed:
-```bash
-vault kv put kv/{namespace}/{secret-name} key1=new-val1 key2=new-val2
-```
-VSO picks up changes within 30 seconds.
-
-### Check sync status
-
-```bash
-# VaultAuth status
-kubectl get vaultauth -n {namespace}
-
-# VaultStaticSecret status
-kubectl get vaultstaticsecret -n {namespace}
-
-# Verify K8s Secret exists with correct keys
-kubectl get secret {name} -n {namespace} -o jsonpath='{.data}' | jq
-```
-
-### Troubleshooting
-
-1. **VaultAuth not authenticating**: Check ServiceAccount exists, Vault role matches SA name/namespace
-2. **VaultStaticSecret not syncing**: Check `kubectl describe vaultstaticsecret {name} -n {ns}` for events
-3. **Secret missing keys**: Verify Vault KV path has all expected keys: `vault kv get kv/{ns}/{name}`
-4. **Permission denied**: Verify Vault policy allows read on `kv/data/{ns}/*`
-
-## File Locations
-
-| Type | Location |

-| Vault policies script | `scripts/vault-setup-policies.sh` |
-| Seed script | `scripts/seed-vault-from-cluster.sh` |
-| VaultAuth + VaultStaticSecret | Alongside ArgoCD Application in each component directory |
-
-## Setup Scripts
-
-```bash
-# Create all Vault policies and auth roles
-./scripts/vault-setup-policies.sh
-
-# Seed Vault KV from existing K8s Secrets
-./scripts/seed-vault-from-cluster.sh
