+- **#67** — New issue triaged: grafana.leeworks.dev missing from DNS checklist. Confirmed `docs/operator-runbook.md` Phase 4 DNS table already lists 7 subdomains including grafana (added by #62). No code change needed; gated on operator DNS setup. Comment posted.
+- **#66** — New issue triaged: Flux reconciliation validation checklist. Blocked on operator completing Phase 0 (#47, #2, #3, #4). `kustomize build flux/` = PASS confirmed. Comment posted.

+### 8. `gitea-registry` — imagePullSecret for API service namespaces
+
+| Field     | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Name      | `gitea-registry` |
+| Namespaces | `zip-enrichment`, `holidays`, `air-quality`, `docs-site` |
+| Type      | `kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson` |
+| Purpose   | Allows pods to pull images from `registry.leeworks.dev` without ImagePullBackOff |
+| Source    | Gitea token with `read:packages` scope (can reuse the same token as step 1 if it has that scope) |
+| Unblocks  | Issues #58 (Phase 0 hard deploy blocker) and transitively Phase 3 service deploys |
+
+```bash
+for NS in zip-enrichment holidays air-quality docs-site; do
+  kubectl create secret docker-registry gitea-registry \
+    --namespace=$NS \
+    --docker-server=registry.leeworks.dev \
+    --docker-username=leeworks-agents \
+    --docker-password=<GITEA_TOKEN_WITH_READ_PACKAGES> \
+    --docker-email=agent@leeworks.dev
+done
+```
+
+Verify:
+```bash
+kubectl get secret gitea-registry -n zip-enrichment -o jsonpath='{.type}'
+# expected: kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson
+```
+

+
+### 9. `gitea-image-automation-token` — Flux ImageUpdateAutomation write token
+
+| Field     | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Name      | `gitea-image-automation-token` |
+| Namespace | `flux-system` |
+| Purpose   | Allows Flux `ImageUpdateAutomation` to push image-tag update commits back to `leeworks-agents/api-company` |
+| Source    | Gitea token with **`write:repository`** scope (the existing `gitea-leeworks-agents-token` only has `read:repository` — create a separate token or verify scope) |
+| Unblocks  | Issue #57 (Flux ImageUpdateAutomation for api-company) |
+
+```bash
+kubectl create secret generic gitea-image-automation-token \
+  -n flux-system \
+  --from-literal=username=leeworks-agents \
+  --from-literal=password=<TOKEN_WITH_WRITE_REPO_SCOPE>
+```
+
+Verify after creation:
+```bash
+flux get imageupdateautomations -n flux-system
+# Expected: api-company shows READY=True
+```
+
+> **Note:** If you create a new token with `write:repository` scope, keep the existing `gitea-leeworks-agents-token` for read-only Flux GitRepository pulls and use this new secret exclusively for `ImageUpdateAutomation`.
