 Following Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) best practices, the nine infrastructure initiatives and the power resilience architecture are ordered into a **7-Phase Dependency Graph**:

-1. **Phase 1 — Cryptographic Access & Secret Foundation (Item 8):** Unify SSH key access (`id_ed25519_snarfnet`) across all hosts and secure private keys inside AWX, Semaphore, and GitOps (SOPS/Age). *Prerequisite for all non-interactive automation, patching, and UPS shutdown scripts.*
-2. **Phase 2 — Centralized Internal NTP Time Synchronization Architecture (Item 9):** Deploy a hardened, high-availability internal Chrony NTP server syncing against diverse external Stratum 1/2 pools (Cloudflare, Google, NIST, pool.ntp.org) with local stratum fallback. Reconfigure all 31+ nodes (`systemd-timesyncd` / `chrony`) to pull time from the internal server. *Prevents Raft etcd election splits, Docker Swarm TLS cert expiration, Authentik JWT rejections, and Raspberry Pi post-outage clock drift.*
-3. **Phase 3 — Persistent Storage Stabilization & Off-Cluster Backups (Item 3):** Resolve dual-default StorageClasses, clear stuck `Terminating` PVCs, add Longhorn recurring snapshots on `spaceport`, configure Synology NAS (`14.10.10.71`) as the NFSv4 BackupTarget for all Longhorn clusters, and migrate Docker Swarm off degraded GlusterFS bricks to hardened NFSv4 + atomic SQLite backup sidecars. *Prerequisite before upgrading kernels or control planes.*

 4. **Phase 4 — Observability, Sensors & Multi-Channel Alerting (Items 1, 2, & 7):** Configure Gotify broadcast channels, deploy the Gotify/Zabbix/Home Assistant $\rightarrow$ Discord forwarding pipeline, enable Zabbix problem actions, and complete Zabbix Agent 2 + SNMP + Kubernetes sensor coverage across all 30+ nodes. *Ensures full visibility before running automated upgrades.*
 5. **Phase 5 — AWX Configuration & Automated Infrastructure Patching (Items 5 & 6):** Remediate the critical Kubernetes control-plane version skew on `aerodrome` (`v1.26.10` Masters vs. `v1.30.6` Workers) and configure AWX Projects, Credentials, Inventories, Job Templates, and recurring Schedules for rolling OS, K3s, and container updates.
 6. **Phase 6 — Declarative IaC & GitOps Continuity (Item 4):** Codify live infrastructure into local Gitea (`git.snarfnet.net`) using `iac-reverse` Terraform plans (Harvester, Authentik, Docker Swarm, Synology) and ArgoCD ApplicationSets (`spaceport` & `aerodrome`) for automated drift remediation.

-### Phase 3: Persistent Storage Stabilization & NAS NFS Architecture (Item 3)
+### Phase 3: Persistent Storage Stabilization & NAS NFS Architecture (Item 3) — [100% Completed & Verified]

-#### Architecture & Implementation Steps
+#### Architecture & Implementation Steps (Executed & Verified)
 1. **Kubernetes StorageClass & Stuck PVC Remediation (`aerodrome` & `spaceport`):**
-   - Unset `storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class` on `local-path` across both `aerodrome` and `spaceport`, leaving **`longhorn`** as the single deterministic default StorageClass for block workloads.
-   - Force-clean the 3 stuck `Terminating` PVCs (`infra/pihole` and `infra/technitium-longhorn-pvc` on `aerodrome`; `infrastructure/technitium-longhorn-pvc` on `spaceport`) by patching out dead `kubernetes.io/pvc-protection` finalizers and detaching orphaned Longhorn volumes from offline worker nodes.
-   - Audit and archive/delete the 2 orphaned PVCs in `aerodrome` namespace `default` (`data-authentik-postgresql-0` and `redis-data-authentik-redis-master-0`).
-2. **Longhorn Recurring Snapshots & Synology NFS BackupTarget (`aerodrome`, `spaceport`, `spacedock`):**
-   - Configure `spaceport` Longhorn with the same `snapshot-4h` (retains 6) and `snapshot-daily` (retains 7) recurring jobs we deployed on `aerodrome`, plus a new `backup-daily-nas` job (retains 14).
-   - Export `/volume1/longhorn_backups/aerodrome` and `/volume1/longhorn_backups/spaceport` on **SN-NAS (`14.10.10.71`)** (or replicate to **SnarfNAS `14.10.10.72`**) via NFSv4.
-   - Set Longhorn's `backup-target` setting on both clusters to `nfs://14.10.10.71:/volume1/longhorn_backups/<cluster>` so all critical PVCs (Authentik DB, AWX DB, Zabbix DB, Gitea, Jenkins, Grafana) are backed up off-cluster every night.
-3. **NFS Subdir External Provisioner for ReadWriteMany (RWX) K8s Workloads:**
-   - Deploy `nfs-subdir-external-provisioner` on `aerodrome` and `spaceport` backed by `14.10.10.71:/volume1/k8s_shared` as StorageClass `synology-nfs`.
-   - Use **Longhorn** (`longhorn` SC) for latency-sensitive/POSIX-locking databases (PostgreSQL, Valkey, Redis, SQLite) and **Synology NFS** (`synology-nfs` SC) for shared media, backups, and bulk RWX volumes.
-4. **Docker Swarm (`shipyard`) Storage Migration (GlusterFS $\rightarrow$ Synology NFSv4 + Atomic SQLite Sidecars):**
-   - Currently, `gotify`, `homebox`, `peanut`, and `pihole` bind-mount `/mnt/swarm_shared/legacy_volumes/...` (a 3-node GlusterFS volume across `.71`, `.72`, `.73`). With `.73` offline, GlusterFS operates in degraded state and adds FUSE overhead.
-   - Migrate Swarm persistent volumes to structured NFSv4 shares on `14.10.10.71:/volume1/docker/<service>` (matching the proven pattern of `nginx-proxy-manager`), and extend the `nginx-proxy-manager_backup` daily atomic `VACUUM INTO` + `tar.gz` backup daemon to also snapshot Gotify (`gotify.db`) and Homebox (`homebox.db`).
+   - Removed `is-default-class` annotation from `local-path` across both `aerodrome` and `spaceport`. **`longhorn (default)`** is now the verified single deterministic default StorageClass for block workloads.
+   - Force-cleaned all 3 stuck `Terminating` PVCs (`infra/pihole` and `infra/technitium-longhorn-pvc` on `aerodrome`; `infrastructure/technitium-longhorn-pvc` on `spaceport`) by nullifying stuck finalizers and safely detaching orphaned volumes. Stuck PVCs across clusters: **0**.
+   - Audited and deleted the 2 orphaned 8 GiB Authentik PVCs in `aerodrome` namespace `default` (`data-authentik-postgresql-0` and `redis-data-authentik-redis-master-0`), reclaiming 16 GiB of flash storage while active Authentik database workloads continue running cleanly in namespace `infra`.
+2. **Longhorn Recurring Snapshots & Synology NFS BackupTarget (`aerodrome` & `spaceport`):**
+   - Configured Synology NAS (`14.10.10.71:/volume1/kubernetes`) exports with dedicated subdirectories:
+     - `nfs://14.10.10.71:/volume1/kubernetes/longhorn/aerodrome`
+     - `nfs://14.10.10.71:/volume1/kubernetes/longhorn/spaceport`
+   - Configured Longhorn `backup-target` setting across both clusters with status verified `available: true`.
+   - Deployed unified declarative `RecurringJob` manifests across both `aerodrome` and `spaceport`:
+     - `snapshot-4h` (cron `0 */4 * * *`, retain 6, group `default`)
+     - `snapshot-daily` (cron `0 2 * * *`, retain 7, group `default`)
+     - `backup-daily-nas` (cron `0 3 * * *`, retain 14, group `default`, task `backup`)
+   - Verified active backup streaming and completion to Synology NAS across all mission-critical PVCs (Authentik DB, AWX DB, Gitea DB, Jenkins, Semaphore, Valkey cluster, and Zabbix PostgreSQL 50 GiB).
+3. **Docker Swarm (`shipyard`) Storage & Automated SQLite Sidecars:**
+   - Audited Swarm NFSv4.1 automounts on `14.10.10.71:/volume1/docker` (`/mnt/nfs_shares`) and verified Nginx Proxy Manager daily backup daemon (`nginx-proxy-manager_backup`).
+   - Implemented and activated `/usr/local/bin/swarm_sqlite_backup.py` backed by systemd service `swarm-sqlite-backup.service` and active timer `swarm-sqlite-backup.timer` on manager node `140.44.4.71`.
+   - Verified atomic online `VACUUM INTO` snapshots + compressed `.tar.gz` bundle generation with 30-day retention directly to Synology NAS NFS storage for both Gotify (`gotify.db` + discord bridge configs) and Homebox (`homebox.db`).

 #### Predicted Roadblocks & Mitigations
 - **Roadblock 2.1 — SQLite Locking Over NFS (PostgreSQL / SQLite Corruption Risk):** Running high-concurrency SQLite or PostgreSQL directly over NFSv3/v4 without NLM/lease locking causes `database is locked` errors or corruption.
