The console and ctl on a standby showed its own empty view: nodes and
replicas live in the leader's memory. A standby now passes /api/ to the
leader over the agent port, with the cluster's certificates both ways; the
leader answers only a certificate naming a control plane the store lists,
and only while it leads. Control plane certificates are issued for client
use as well, and server add reissues older ones.
An agent's reconnect backoff starts again after a session that worked, so
each failover it lives through no longer makes the next one slower.

keepalived's file holds its password and is root's alone; the control plane
runs as llmgw and could not read it, so the CONTROL line never named the
floating address.

A control plane being stopped held every agent's stream for the thirty
seconds of a graceful shutdown, so the standby led within four seconds and
had no nodes for thirty. The agent server is now closed, not drained. A
control plane that loses its lease while it lives on lets its agents go,
rather than keeping nodes the new leader cannot reach.
ctl status and the console's Overview say which control plane leads, which
stand by, and whether the floating address is on the leader. The console
adds a control plane (Do → Add a control plane), asking for the machine and
the floating address. server add says when the mirror would refuse the new
control plane.

Members' etcd speaks TLS to peers and clients with a certificate from the
cluster's authority and asks clients for one; Patroni reaches it with the
member's certificate and serves its API over TLS. A running plain-HTTP
cluster is moved with Patroni paused, so PostgreSQL serves throughout:
Patroni's lease-free keys are carried over to the new etcd.

Patroni's REST API accepted changes from anyone on port 8008, and
PostgreSQL ran with sslmode=disable between machines. Setup now keeps a
fourth secret for the API (carried to members of older clusters), issues
each member a certificate from the cluster's authority, writes
restapi.authentication into each member's config and reloads it, and
turns ssl on with hostssl remote rules through an authenticated PATCH of
the shared configuration. The DSN becomes sslmode=verify-full against the
authority's certificate whenever the cluster has TLS, so a control plane
without the authority's key reconnects too. server add authenticates its
PATCH and lets the new control plane in by hostssl. Tried on the e2e
cluster: unauthenticated PATCH 401, plaintext refused, replication
streaming, the control plane on verify-full.

server add gives another machine this llmgw, a certificate, the
configuration and store address, lets it into the store through Patroni, and
starts it; --vip keeps a floating address on the leader with keepalived,
following a new /leader endpoint. Nodes learn every control plane from the
leader and notice a dead one by HTTP/2 ping instead of after the kernel's
fifteen minutes. The setup, console, node and init screens are drawn full
screen in one frame: title bar, sidebar, bordered panel, key bar, dialogs.
