Today the x402-buyer sidecar's /state directory is an emptyDir. When the litellm pod restarts (rollout, OOM, node drain), consumed.json is gone. The pre-signed auth pool reloads from the ConfigMap the controller manages, and the buyer treats every auth as unconsumed — attempting to spend nonces that the facilitator already marked used. Cascade: facilitator returns 400 "nonce already used" -> buyer 402 back to LiteLLM -> caller retry -> same 400 -> eventually buyer pool exhausted -> 503 until manual `buy.py process --all` reseeds. Fix: convert /state to a PVC backed by local-path-provisioner (the storage class already deployed via base/templates/local-path.yaml). 50Mi request; consumed.json is tiny but room left for log growth. Deployment strategy switched to Recreate because a RWO PVC can't be co-mounted during a RollingUpdate surge. Litellm is replicas: 1 so this just means rollouts have a ~5s gap instead of an overlap — acceptable. What this does NOT solve: - Multi-replica litellm. RWO PVC works only for replicas: 1; would need RWX (which local-path doesn't support — needs NFS/Longhorn) or per-replica state via StatefulSet. Out of scope; litellm has no current scaling need. - Hard node loss. local-path PVCs are node-local; if the k3d node is destroyed, state is gone (along with the rest of the cluster). For local-only operator that's the expected blast radius. PSS compatibility note: the PVC mount works under PSS Restricted as long as the buyer container runs with appropriate fsGroup. PR #12 (Restricted PSS sweep) handles that separately and will verify mount permissions when it lands.
