feat!: NetworkPolicy in the last five charts - the sweep is complete

matrix-synapse, paperless-ngx, freesailarr, valkey, stalwart. One major each.
All 29 installable charts plus template-chart now render a policy, and
ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh passes over all 30 with 206 assertions held.

MATRIX-SYNAPSE renders TWO policies, one per workload, and the split is the
decision in that file. Synapse federates - it must be able to reach any
homeserver on the internet, so 443 and 8448 go to any destination - while the
delegation nginx serves two static JSON documents and calls nobody, so its
egress is DNS and nothing else. A single policy over both pods would have to
permit the union, handing full federation reach and the database port to an
nginx whose job is to return a constant, and it would read as one decision
rather than as a widening. networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts deliberately does
not reach the delegation policy for the same reason.

PAPERLESS-NGX names the two pods of its own release that this object does NOT
cover: the valkey subchart's pod, which carries its own labels and needs no
cover because the valkey chart ships a tighter policy of its own; and the
consume CronJob's pods, whose pod template carries NO LABELS AT ALL, so no
podSelector can match them. That second one is a real gap in the convention. It
is tolerable only because the job moves files between mounted volumes and
reaches the SMB share through a CSI volume the node mounts - the pod opens no
connection of its own - and if that ever changes the CronJob needs labels
before it can need a policy.

FREESAILARR is ten containers in one pod behind a VPN, and simpler than that
sounds: they share a network namespace, so all inter-container traffic is
localhost and no policy sees any of it. Because the namespace belongs to
gluetun, everything the *arr containers send is encapsulated before it leaves,
so three rules describe the whole outbound surface - DNS, UDP 51820 for the
tunnel, and 443 for gluetun's server-list API, which cannot go through the
tunnel because it runs before the tunnel exists. The tunnel rule is the one
that can break this chart and also the best covered: gluetun's health server
answers 200 only while the tunnel is up and all three of its probes address it,
so a blocked 51820 is a pod that never goes Ready - in the install-test, which
brings up a real tunnel.

VALKEY AND STALWART, the two charts that had a policy before this issue, are
pulled onto the convention without a single rule changing. What changed:

  - the reasoning moved out of "#" comments, which are part of the rendered
    object and travel into the cluster, into template comments. Both files
    failed the new check; that is what it is for.
  - stalwart gains networkPolicy.ingressController, which fixes a hole its own
    comment described without being able to solve: it advised putting the
    controller's namespace into allowedNamespaces, which is namespace-granular
    and would have opened the http port to every pod in kube-system.
  - stalwart's example was WRONG and is corrected. It suggested
    ["ingress-nginx"]; measured on 2026-10-14, ingress-nginx is gone from this
    cluster entirely and the controller is rke2-traefik in kube-system. A policy
    written against the old one would have been accepted, looked strict, and
    silently blocked all web traffic.

Their justified specifics are untouched: valkey stays Ingress-only, because it
opens no outbound connection and an egress rule would constrain nothing while
making the object look stricter; and it keeps 6379 restricted by source with no
probeSources at all, which is safe only because all three of its probes are
exec probes and put no packet on the network. The convention was written to
accommodate both, and homeassistant and satisfactory now invoke valkey's rule
in the other direction.

ONE CHANGE TO THE TEST, forced by a structural fact rather than by convenience:
the rendered-comment assertion now skips documents from a SUBCHART. A
dependency is fetched from the Helm registry, not from the copy in this
repository, so the policy paperless-ngx and stalwart bundle is whatever valkey
version is PUBLISHED - and nothing in the parent chart can change its rendered
comments. Holding the parent responsible would have made the test unfixable
until valkey's next release and would fail a chart for a file its own diff does
not contain. The subchart's own pull request is where it is caught, because this
test runs over every chart including valkey itself. All twelve failure paths
were re-run against the change.

+  cluster-internal egress before this policy is ever consulted.
+
+  Three limits belong in the same breath, because none of them is visible in

+
+  - EGRESS IS BY PORT, NEVER BY DESTINATION. A NetworkPolicy matches CIDRs and
+    selectors and cannot express a hostname, so every egress rule permits its
+    port to ANY address. That is a limit of the object, not a shortcut — this
+    cluster's CNI (Canal: Flannel plus Calico) has no FQDN rule either. An
+    outbound port the chart does not know about is BLOCKED: add it to

+NetworkPolicy for freesailarr (Gitea #5).
+
+TEN CONTAINERS IN ONE POD, BEHIND A VPN, AND THE POLICY IS SIMPLER THAN THAT
+SOUNDS - for one reason worth stating first: the containers talk to each other
+over LOCALHOST. They share a network namespace, so none of that traffic ever
+reaches a network interface and NO NetworkPolicy has anything to say about it.
+Prowlarr reaching Radarr, Recyclarr reaching Sonarr, every one of those hops is
+invisible here. What this policy governs is only what enters or leaves the pod.
+
+INBOUND is the eight published web interfaces plus gluetun's health server, and
+almost all of them are probe ports - the kubelet opens an HTTP connection to
+each container's own interface - so they are one rule on the probe path. The
+newznab port of mediathekarr is the exception: nothing probes it, and its only
+consumer is Prowlarr in this same pod over localhost, so it is restricted by
+source and that costs nothing.
+
+OUTBOUND IS WHERE THIS CHART IS UNLIKE EVERY OTHER ONE HERE, because the pod's
+network namespace belongs to gluetun. Every connection the *arr containers make
+goes into the WireGuard tunnel and leaves the pod as UDP to the VPN endpoint -
+so a NetworkPolicy sees the OUTER packets and almost nothing else. Three rules
+cover it: DNS, UDP 51820 for the tunnel itself, and 443 for gluetun's own
+server-list API. Indexer and tracker traffic needs no rule of its own; it is
+already inside the tunnel.
+
+AND THE TUNNEL RULE IS THE ONE THAT CAN BREAK THIS CHART, which is also why it
+is well covered: gluetun's health server returns 200 only while the tunnel is
+up, and all three of its probes address it. A blocked UDP 51820 therefore means
+a pod that never becomes Ready - visibly, in the install-test, which brings up
+a real tunnel. 51820 is WireGuard's standard port and Mullvad's; Mullvad also
+offers 53, 123, 500 and 4500 for obfuscation, and a release using one of those
+needs networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts. Note that extraPorts is TCP only, so an
+alternative UDP port needs the rule here widened instead - said plainly,
+because it is a limit of the shared values shape and not an oversight.
+
+WHAT THIS OBJECT IS: a ceiling on reachability, not an authentication layer.
+Only the ports declared below are reachable at all - whatever else the process
+binds, now or after the next app update, is blocked without anyone having to
+notice it exists.
+
+WHAT IT IS NOT:
+  - EGRESS IS COARSE. A NetworkPolicy matches CIDRs and selectors and NEVER
+    hostnames, so "only to the database host" cannot be expressed at all. This
+    cluster's CNI is Canal (Flannel plus Calico for policy) and has no FQDN
+    rule; Calico's GlobalNetworkSet could express one but would bind this chart
+    to Calico, the same argument that kept implementation-specific objects out
+    of the Gateway-API sweep (#114). Each egress rule therefore permits its
+    PORT to any destination.
+  - NOT A BOUNDARY WHERE THE CNI DOES NOT ENFORCE ONE. An unenforced policy is
+    accepted by the API server and filters nothing, so everything reads as
+    configured while nothing is filtered.
+  - THE REASONING IS IN TEMPLATE COMMENTS, not in "#" comments: those are part
+    of the rendered object, travel into the cluster and appear in every release
+    diff. ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh fails on a rendered "#".
+
+THE PORT NUMBERS BELOW ARE POD PORTS, NEVER NODEPORTS. A NetworkPolicy is
+evaluated at the pod's network interface, after kube-proxy has already
+translated a NodePort to the targetPort, so a NodePort number here would match
+nothing while looking strict - and, being the only rule for that port, would
+block every inbound connection instead. ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh asserts
+every port here against the containerPorts of the pod spec this policy
+selects.

+  two static JSON documents and calls nobody. One policy over both pods would
+  have to permit the union — handing full federation reach and the database port
+  to an nginx that serves a constant.
+
+  Synapse: inbound TCP 8008 only; outbound DNS, TCP 5432 (Postgres), 443 and

+  Delegation nginx: inbound TCP 8080 only; outbound DNS and nothing else —
+  networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts deliberately does not widen it.
+
+  Three limits, none of them visible in the objects themselves:
+
+  - FEDERATION CANNOT BE NARROWED. 443 and 8448 go to ANY destination, because
+    a federating homeserver may contact any other homeserver there is, and a
+    NetworkPolicy matches CIDRs and selectors but never hostnames — with this
+    cluster's CNI (Canal: Flannel plus Calico) there is no FQDN rule either.
+    What the cap still buys is real: Synapse can open NO other outbound port,
+    so a compromised instance reaches no other database, no SSH and no mail
+    server in the cluster.
+  - 5432 IS THE STANDARD PORT, NOT YOUR CONFIGURED ONE. Synapse's Postgres
+    connection lives inside secrets.configSecretRef, which this chart never
+    parses. A database elsewhere is blocked — put its port in
+    networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts. The same applies to a TURN server for

+    CIDRs covers the node a pod lands on, its probes are dropped and THE POD
+    NEVER BECOMES READY — the rollout times out and the symptom looks like a
+    broken application.
+
+    AND CHECK FEDERATION AFTER THIS CHANGE, not just the web UI. Inbound
+    federation reaches Synapse through the Ingress, and every remote homeserver
+    that wants to federate fetches /.well-known/matrix from the delegation
+    server — so a wrong ingressController here stops federation and stops it
+    being discoverable, and that failure appears on OTHER people's servers

+    but this is NOT pod-level isolation. Narrowing it means listing the worker
+    node IPs, because the kubelet probes from the node's own address and the
+    chart cannot know it; a wrong guess leaves the pod permanently un-Ready.
+{{- end }}

+Two NetworkPolicies, one per workload (Gitea #5).
+
+THIS CHART RENDERS TWO POD TEMPLATES AND THEY NEED DIFFERENT RULES, which is
+why this file is written out rather than generated from one shape like most of
+the sweep. A single policy selecting both would have to be the UNION of what
+each needs - Synapse's federation egress granted to the delegation server, and
+the delegation server's ports granted to Synapse - and a policy that is the
+union of two workloads' needs is strictly weaker than two policies, while
+looking like one decision.
+
+  <release>-<chart>-networkpolicy             the Synapse StatefulSet
+  <release>-<chart>-delegation-networkpolicy  the delegation nginx Deployment
+
+The split matters most on egress. Synapse federates: it opens connections to
+other people's homeservers, to push gateways and to identity servers, so its
+egress rule is necessarily wide. The delegation server serves two static JSON
+documents under /.well-known/matrix and calls NOTHING - so its egress is DNS
+and nothing else, which is as tight as this object gets. Merging them would
+have handed Synapse's reach to an nginx whose entire job is to return a
+constant.
+
+BOTH WORKLOADS SIT BEHIND THE SAME INGRESS, on different paths (/ to Synapse,
+/.well-known/matrix to the delegation server), so both carry the ingress
+controller in their restricted branch - and both would go dark together if it
+were wrong.
+
+AND BOTH PROBE PORTS STAY OPEN BY DEFAULT, because all three probes of each
+workload address its own HTTP port. The kubelet probes from the IP of the
+worker node running the pod, which no chart can know; narrowing is
+networkPolicy.probeSources, and it applies to both policies at once.
+
+WHAT THESE POLICIES DO NOT DO:
+  - EGRESS IS BY PORT, NEVER BY DESTINATION. A NetworkPolicy matches CIDRs and
+    selectors and never hostnames, so "only the homeservers we federate with"
+    cannot be expressed - and with Canal (Flannel plus Calico) there is no FQDN
+    rule to reach for. Federation therefore means 443 and 8448 to any address,
+    which is the honest description: Synapse may contact any homeserver on the
+    internet, because that is what federation is.
+  - THE DATABASE PORT IS A GUESS. Synapse's Postgres connection lives inside
+    secrets.configSecretRef, a 1Password item this chart never parses, so 5432
+    is the standard port and not the configured one.
+  - A POLICY IS ONLY A BOUNDARY WHERE THE CNI ENFORCES ONE.

+    - the valkey subchart's pod, which carries its own labels. It needs no

+    - the consume CronJob's pods, whose pod template carries NO labels at all,

+      volumes and reach the SMB share through a CSI volume the NODE mounts, so
+      the pod opens no connection of its own — but the gap is real and is named
+      here rather than left to be discovered.
+
+  Three limits belong in the same breath, because none of them is visible in
+  the object itself:
+
+  - EGRESS IS BY PORT, NEVER BY DESTINATION. A NetworkPolicy matches CIDRs and
+    selectors and cannot express a hostname, so every egress rule permits its
+    port to ANY address. That is a limit of the object, not a shortcut — this
+    cluster's CNI (Canal: Flannel plus Calico) has no FQDN rule either. An

+    isolation. Narrowing it means listing the worker node IPs in

+NetworkPolicy for paperless-ngx (Gitea #5).
+
+Paperless reaches a Postgres and a Redis, and - when
+paperless.files.tikaGotenberg.enabled is true - the Tika and Gotenberg services,
+which in this repository are two other charts whose Services listen on port 80.
+That last rule is derived from the switch rather than always rendered, so a
+release without Tika does not carry a rule that permits nothing.
+
+TWO THINGS THIS POLICY DOES NOT COVER, and both are real rather than
+theoretical:
+
+1. THE VALKEY SUBCHART'S POD. This chart declares valkey as an optional
+   dependency, and the subchart renders its own StatefulSet with its own
+   labels. It is not covered by THIS policy - but it does not need to be: the
+   valkey chart ships a NetworkPolicy of its own, and it is the tighter one
+   (Ingress-only, 6379 restricted by source, because its probes are exec probes
+   and no kubelet traffic has to be let through). This is the one subchart in
+   the repository that brings its own policy.
+
+2. THE CONSUME CRONJOB'S PODS. paperless-consume.cronjob.yaml renders a pod
+   template with NO LABELS AT ALL, so no podSelector can match it and no policy
+   in this chart can restrict it. That is a gap in the convention, named here
+   rather than glossed. What makes it tolerable: the CronJob's whole job is to
+   move files between two mounted volumes, and the SMB share reaches it as a
+   CSI volume - mounted by the NODE, not opened by the pod - so the pod itself
+   opens no connection that a policy would have anything to say about. If that
+   ever changes, the CronJob needs labels before it can need a policy.
+
+3. MAIL FETCHING IS NOT PERMITTED. Paperless' mail accounts live in its
+   DATABASE, configured through the web UI, so this chart cannot see them. A
+   release that fetches mail needs IMAP (993 or 143) in
+   networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts, and the symptom otherwise is a mail rule
+   that silently stops importing.
+
+WHAT THIS OBJECT IS: a ceiling on reachability, not an authentication layer.
+Only the ports declared below are reachable at all - whatever else the process
+binds, now or after the next app update, is blocked without anyone having to
+notice it exists.
+
+WHAT IT IS NOT:
+  - EGRESS IS COARSE. A NetworkPolicy matches CIDRs and selectors and NEVER
+    hostnames, so "only to the database host" cannot be expressed at all. This
+    cluster's CNI is Canal (Flannel plus Calico for policy) and has no FQDN
+    rule; Calico's GlobalNetworkSet could express one but would bind this chart
+    to Calico, the same argument that kept implementation-specific objects out
+    of the Gateway-API sweep (#114). Each egress rule therefore permits its
+    PORT to any destination.
+  - NOT A BOUNDARY WHERE THE CNI DOES NOT ENFORCE ONE. An unenforced policy is
+    accepted by the API server and filters nothing, so everything reads as
+    configured while nothing is filtered.
+  - THE REASONING IS IN TEMPLATE COMMENTS, not in "#" comments: those are part
+    of the rendered object, travel into the cluster and appear in every release
+    diff. ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh fails on a rendered "#".
+
+THE PORT NUMBERS BELOW ARE POD PORTS, NEVER NODEPORTS. A NetworkPolicy is
+evaluated at the pod's network interface, after kube-proxy has already
+translated a NodePort to the targetPort, so a NodePort number here would match
+nothing while looking strict - and, being the only rule for that port, would
+block every inbound connection instead. ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh asserts
+every port here against the containerPorts of the pod spec this policy
+selects.

+  #     podSelector can match them and nothing here restricts them. Tolerable
+  #     only because the job moves files between mounted volumes and the SMB
+  #     share arrives as a CSI volume mounted by the NODE - the pod opens no
+  #     connection of its own. If that changes, the CronJob needs labels first.

+THIS CHART AND valkey ARE THE TWO THAT HAD A POLICY BEFORE #5, so the
+convention was derived from them rather than imposed on them. Three things
+changed here; everything else is the original and is right.
+
+  - THE REASONING MOVED OUT OF "#" COMMENTS into template comments. A "#"
+    comment is part of the RENDERED object: it travels into the cluster, shows
+    up in `helm get manifest` and `kubectl get -o yaml`, and lands in every
+    release diff. ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh now fails on a rendered "#", and
+    this file was one of the two that failed it.
+  - networkPolicy.ingressController ARRIVED, and it fixes a real hole this
+    file's own comment described without being able to solve: it used to say
+    that setting probeSources means putting the ingress controller's namespace
+    into allowedNamespaces "or the Ingress goes dark". That works, but
+    allowedNamespaces is namespace-granular, so it would have opened the http
+    port to EVERY pod in the controller's namespace - kube-system, here. The
+    new value renders a namespaceSelector and a podSelector in ONE from-entry,
+    which is an AND, and narrows the source to the controller's pods.
+  - THE EXAMPLE IN values.yaml WAS WRONG AND IS CORRECTED. It suggested
+    allowedNamespaces: ["ingress-nginx"]. Measured on 2026-10-14: ingress-nginx
+    is GONE from this cluster - no DaemonSet, no pods - the only IngressClass is
+    traefik, and the controller is the DaemonSet rke2-traefik in kube-system. A
+    policy written against the old controller would have been accepted, would
+    have looked strict, and would have silently blocked all web traffic.

+{{- /*
+NetworkPolicy for valkey (Gitea #5).
+
+THIS CHART AND stalwart ARE THE TWO THAT HAD A POLICY BEFORE #5, so the
+convention was derived from them rather than imposed on them. What changed here
+is the FORM and not a single rule: the reasoning moved out of "#" comments,
+which are part of the rendered object and travel into the cluster, into template
+comments, which render nothing. ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh now fails on a
+rendered "#", and this file was one of the two that failed it.
+
+TWO THINGS THAT DELIBERATELY DID NOT CHANGE, because they are right and the
+convention was written to accommodate them:
+
+1. INGRESS ONLY. This instance opens no outbound connection of its own - no
+   replication, no cluster bus - so an egress rule here would constrain nothing
+   while making the object look stricter than it is. policyTypes names only
+   what there is something to restrict. homeassistant and satisfactory invoke
+   the same rule in the other direction, for outbound traffic nobody can
+   enumerate.
+
+2. 6379 IS RESTRICTED BY SOURCE, with no probeSources value anywhere in this
+   chart - and that combination is only safe because of a detail worth knowing:
+   ALL THREE PROBES HERE ARE EXEC PROBES. An exec probe runs inside the
+   container through the kubelet's runtime and puts no packet on the network, so
+   there is no kubelet traffic to let through and nothing to accommodate. A
+   chart with an httpGet or tcpSocket probe on this port could NOT restrict it
+   this way - it would need the worker node's IP, which no chart can know, and
+   the pod would never become Ready without it. minecraft-server is tight for
+   the same reason; every web app in the sweep is not.
+
+So this policy is what the rest of the rollout aims at and mostly cannot reach:
+a port that is genuinely closed to everything but the namespaces named below.
