Wait for the MetalLB controller deployment to be ready before applying
IPAddressPool/L2Advertisement CRDs. If the webhook service has no ready
endpoints (stale ClusterIP from a previously removed controller), delete
the ValidatingWebhookConfiguration so the apply is not blocked. This
prevents the 'connection refused' webhook failure seen when a duplicate
MetalLB install left behind a broken webhook service endpoint.

MetalLB was already installed (metallb-speaker-* / metallb-controller-*)
32 days ago. Applying metallb-native.yaml created duplicate controller and
speaker resources. The new speaker pods could not schedule because the
existing metallb-speaker-* pods already occupy the host ports (7472, 7946)
on all 3 nodes: "1 node(s) didn't have free ports for the requested pod ports"
Fix: remove the kubectl apply for metallb-native.yaml — just apply the
IPAddressPool and L2Advertisement configs which is all we need.
Manual cluster cleanup required (one-time):
kubectl delete deployment controller -n metallb-system
kubectl delete daemonset speaker -n metallb-system

Speaker DaemonSet on CPU-constrained cluster takes >180s to start all 3 pods.
Don't fail the entire pipeline — warn and print speaker pod status instead.
Controller must still be ready (it handles IP assignment) before continuing.

During rolling updates with the default maxSurge=1, an extra surge pod was
created temporarily (3 pods instead of 2), causing all 3 nodes to report
"Insufficient CPU" and delaying scheduling past the Jenkins rollout timeout.
With maxSurge=0 / maxUnavailable=1, one old pod terminates first before a
new one starts — pod count stays at 2 throughout, no extra CPU needed.
Also increase Jenkins rollout timeout from 300s to 600s as a safety net
for CPU-constrained nodes that may still need extra scheduling time.

Speaker runs on all 3 nodes and needs image pull + startup time per node.
90s was too tight — bumped to 180s to handle slow node startups.

- Add MetalLB IPAddressPool (192.168.108.213/32) and L2Advertisement
so the frontend gets a stable external IP on the LAN
- Change frontend service type: NodePort → LoadBalancer
- Add 'Setup MetalLB' stage in Jenkinsfile that installs MetalLB v0.14.8
(idempotent) and applies the IP pool config before each deploy
After deploy: kubectl get svc frontend -n scrum-manager
should show EXTERNAL-IP: 192.168.108.213
App accessible at: http://192.168.108.213

Backend was OOMKilled during rolling update startup (Node.js + Socket.io +
MySQL pool exceeds 256Mi). Raised limit to 512Mi and request to 256Mi.
Jenkinsfile: show kubectl get pods immediately after apply so pod state
is visible in build logs. Added full diagnostics (describe + logs) in
post.failure block so the root cause of any future rollout failure is
visible without needing to SSH into the cluster.

The mysql-data-pvc was already dynamically provisioned by the cluster's
'local-path' StorageClass. The overlay patch tried to change storageClassName
to 'manual' and volumeName on an already-bound PVC, which Kubernetes forbids:
"spec is immutable after creation except resources.requests"
Fixes:
- Remove mysql-pvc-patch from kustomization.yaml (PVC left as-is)
- Remove mysql-pv.yaml resource (not needed with dynamic provisioner)
- Add comment explaining when manual PV/PVC is needed vs not
Jenkinsfile: add --timeout and FQDN to smoke test curl; add comments
explaining MySQL Recreate strategy startup timing expectations.
