1c (full git reproducibility: cc-ci-secrets split, cert-in-sops, genuine D8 live rebuild)
now runs before 1b. This way 1b's review/lint and its final cold re-verification of all
D1-D10 cover the final refactored state (incl. the secrets split) and the genuine post-1c
D8 — rather than reviewing pre-refactor code and re-verifying a flawed D8. Updated status
lines in 1b/1c and the README ordering. Sequence: 1 -> 1c -> 1b -> 2 -> 2b -> 3.

Per operator: the split boundary is secrecy, not modularity. Only the sops-encrypted secrets
(incl. the wildcard cert) move to a separate private repo `cc-ci-secrets` (extra access-control
layer), consumed by the base via a flake input. Instance non-secret vars (domain, gateway,
recipients) stay in the well-parameterized base cc-ci repo — another admin repoints by editing
params, no second config repo. Guardrail reworded: instance vars in base are fine; only plaintext
SECRETS must never leak into base/store. Updated model/C1/C2/W2/§6/§7 + README.

Per operator: don't downsize cc-nix-test to 2GB. Instead raise the terraform-ci running-RAM
guideline to ~12GB (it's doc-only — the project has no enforced limits.memory; b1 is 16GB),
resize cc-nix-test 6->4GB, and create the throwaway VM at 4GB (4+4+lichen 4 = 12 <= 16).
Updated W1/W3/C6/§4 and the incus memory note.

D8's throwaway-VM live rebuild was wrongly marked "infeasible by design" — the master
recovery age key defeats the sops-host-key reason, DNS/cert is a precondition not a
rebuild blocker, and Incus was available. Phase 1c (loop-driven): (A) make the VM fully
reproducible from git including ALL secrets — move the wildcard cert + every secret into
sops-in-git, split generic base repo from a private instance repo composed via a flake
input (the only out-of-band secret is the bootstrap age key); (B) actually perform +
cold-verify a blank-VM nixos-rebuild and rewrite D8 honestly. Resize cc-nix-test to 2GB
first to free b1 headroom for a sized throwaway VM; destroy it after; restore/promote
sizing. Gandi token stays out of repo/agent (only the cert artifact is committed). Linked README.
