+## Rebuilding from Scratch
+
+To fully tear down and recreate the cluster:
+
+```bash
+make clean    # force-delete secret, empty S3, clear stale kube/talos contexts
+make destroy  # tear down all terraform resources
+make apply    # recreate everything
+make post-apply  # wait for cluster ready, bootstrap ArgoCD
+make bootstrap   # apply App of Apps
+```
+
 ## Day-to-Day
 
 - **Add a new app**: add a manifest to `manifests/` and values to `charts/` — ArgoCD picks it up on next sync
 - **Add a DNS record**: add the subdomain to `dns_records` in `terraform/terraform.tfvars` and run `make apply`
-- **Cluster access**: `make kubeconfig` or `make talosconfig` (pulls from Secrets Manager)
+- **Cluster access**: `make kubeconfig` or `make talosconfig` (pulls from Secrets Manager, safe to re-run — automatically clears any stale context from a previous cluster before merging)
 - **Emergency talosctl access**: `make decrypt` to get configs in `/tmp`

+## Forking / Multiple Environments
+
+Global per-cluster config lives in **`values.yaml`** at the repo root:
+
+```yaml
+clusterName: dumpnet
+domain: dumpnet.chat
+repoURL: https://forge.keane.sh/ian/dumpnet-argo.git
+certEmail: dumpnetcerts@keane.sh
+awsRegion: us-east-1
+```
+
+This file is passed as the first `valueFiles` entry to every Helm chart, so `domain`, `certEmail`, `clusterName`, and `awsRegion` are available as `{{ .Values.* }}` in all chart values. Terraform variables in `terraform/variables.tf` mirror these same settings for the infrastructure side.
+
+**The one thing that can't be templated** is `repoURL` in the ArgoCD `Application` manifests themselves (under `apps/` and `manifests/`). These are plain YAML consumed by ArgoCD before any Helm rendering happens — there's no way to interpolate them without a [Config Management Plugin](https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operator-manual/config-management-plugins/). When forking this repo, do a global find/replace on `forge.keane.sh/ian/dumpnet-argo` with your own repo URL.
+
 ## Notes
 
 - The control plane taint is disabled via `allowSchedulingOnControlPlanes: true` in the Talos machine config — no manual taint removal needed
