File Targets

  • [x] ~/pal-e-platform/palworld-server/ — verified: directory exists, contains only .git/ subdirectory. Untracked in git.
  • [x] terraform/ — verified: no palworld references anywhere in terraform/. Claim "no Terraform config" is correct.
  • [x] ~/pal-e-deployments/ — verified: no palworld references. Claim "no kustomize overlays" is correct.
  • [x] salt/states/packages/init.sls:92 — cosmetic comment "Desktop / Streaming (Palworld)" exists but is not functional. Not mentioned in ticket; no action needed since desktop packages serve other purposes.

Repo Placement

OK. Issue filed on forgejo_admin/pal-e-platform. Palworld is a platform-level namespace cleanup. No code changes — kubectl/helm only. Correct repo.

Dependencies

  • Parent: Board item #188 / Issue #109 ("Platform cleanup — resolve 15 alerts + stabilize CI") — currently in_progress. This ticket is one of the child cleanup items.
  • Sibling: Board item #194 / Issue #115 ("Remove capacitor-dev") — same pattern, same labels. Independent; no ordering dependency.
  • No blocking dependencies. Can be executed independently.

Acceptance Criteria

All three criteria are directly testable via kubectl commands listed in Test Expectations. The "~1GB RAM reclaimed" criterion is soft but reasonable — exact value depends on runtime state. Overall: solid and verifiable.

Blast Radius

  • No Terraform, ArgoCD, or kustomize references to palworld anywhere in the codebase — confirmed by grep across terraform/, salt/, and ~/pal-e-deployments/.
  • Salt comment at salt/states/packages/init.sls:92 is cosmetic only. Desktop packages are used for other purposes.
  • No downstream consumers. Palworld namespace is fully self-contained.
  • 120Gi PVC destruction is properly flagged as requiring Lucas's confirmation — correct constraint.

Recommendation

No action needed — ticket is ready for execution. One minor note: the salt comment mentioning Palworld at salt/states/packages/init.sls:92 could optionally be updated in a future cleanup pass, but it is non-functional and not worth a separate change.
