+### Node Topology (3 control-plane HA, since 2026-07-20)
+
+| Node | IP | Zone | Role | Scheduling | Storage |
+|------|----|----|------|-----------|---------|
+| `talos-cp-1` | 192.168.1.213 | az-a | control-plane | **schedulable** (runs all workloads) | sole Longhorn node (sdb/sdc/sdd) |
+| `talos-cp-2` | 192.168.1.163 | az-b | control-plane | dedicated (`NoSchedule`) | none |
+| `talos-cp-3` | 192.168.1.166 | az-c | control-plane | dedicated (`NoSchedule`) | none |
+
+- **etcd** has 3 voting members peering over the LAN (`cluster.etcd.advertisedSubnets: 192.168.1.0/24` — without it Talos may advertise on the WireGuard IP and new members hang as learners). Tolerates 1 node loss.
+- Only `talos-cp-1` runs workloads and holds storage, so stateful services are **single-instance** (e.g. CNPG `ddb-cluster` = 1 instance). The kube-apiserver endpoint is single-homed to `.213` (no VIP yet).
+- Scheduling is declarative: `allowSchedulingOnControlPlanes: true` + per-node `machine.nodeTaints` re-adds the control-plane taint on the dedicated nodes only.
