feat!: NetworkPolicy in nine more charts, on by default

bulwark, calibre-web-automated, patchmon, rallly, urlaubsverwaltung,
voucher-vault, zipline, sure, homeassistant. One major each.

These are the charts with real outbound dependencies, and they all share one
limitation that is now written into every one of them: THE EGRESS PORTS ARE THE
STANDARD ONES, NOT THE CONFIGURED ONES. Databases, caches and OIDC issuers
arrive as connection URLs or as fields inside 1Password items that the charts
never parse, so a chart cannot know where its dependency listens and cannot
validate a guess. A dependency somewhere else is blocked, and
networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts is the escape hatch. That is the upgrade risk
of this rollout, stated per chart instead of discovered per release.

Four of them differ in ways that mattered:

HOMEASSISTANT gets policyTypes: [Ingress] and NO egress section at all, and
that is the decision in the file rather than an omission. Its outbound traffic
is the union of every integration an operator enables - mDNS and SSDP
discovery, MQTT, a Zigbee or Z-Wave bridge on whatever port its firmware chose,
ESPHome, printers, speakers, inverters, cloud APIs, NTP - which no chart can
know. A cap would protect little, since the devices sit on the node's own LAN,
and would break integrations one at a time, months apart, each looking like a
flaky device rather than like a policy. So valkey's rule applies in the other
direction: policyTypes names only what there is something to restrict.

URLAUBSVERWALTUNG allows BOTH 5432 and 3306, deliberately. It is handed a full
JDBC URL inside a 1Password item and never parses it, so it cannot tell
PostgreSQL from MariaDB - and this cluster runs both. Allowing one would break
half the possible deployments on upgrade, with the symptom buried in a Java
stack trace. A small widening against a large and silent failure.

RALLLY derives its SMTP rule from rallly.smtp.enabled rather than always
rendering it: with mail switched off there is nothing to permit, and a rule
that permits nothing makes the object look stricter than it is.

BULWARK is the chart where the cap can fail most quietly. Its probes test its
own port and say nothing about the JMAP server, so a jmapServerUrl on a port
the policy does not allow yields a Ready pod serving an empty webmail. 443 is
allowed, Stalwart's in-cluster 8080 is not, and both halves of that are in
values.yaml and NOTES.txt.

PATCHMON and HOMEASSISTANT select their pods by the BARE release-and-chart
label, with no -deployment or -sfs suffix. Copying a selector from a
neighbouring chart would have matched nothing and left a policy that filters
nothing - which is precisely the first assertion of the render test.

Five CI fixtures gain networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts, and they are the only
place in the repository where the cap's cost is actually exercised: the CI dex
runs on 5556 rather than 443 (patchmon, rallly, urlaubsverwaltung,
voucher-vault) and the CI JMAP server on plain 8080 (bulwark).

+NetworkPolicy for bulwark (Gitea #5).
+
+Bulwark is a JMAP webmail CLIENT: it holds no mail, has no database, no cache
+and no broker. Everything it shows lives on a Stalwart server reached over
+bulwark.jmapServerUrl, and that single outbound dependency is what shapes the
+egress rules.
+
+AND IT IS THE ONE CHART WHERE THE EGRESS CAP CAN FAIL QUIETLY. Bulwark's probes
+address its own HTTP port and say nothing about whether the JMAP server is
+reachable - so a release whose JMAP URL sits on a port this policy does not
+allow comes up Ready and then shows an empty, broken webmail. 443 is allowed
+because that is where a published JMAP endpoint lives; a URL pointing straight
+at Stalwart's in-cluster HTTP port (8080) is blocked and needs
+networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts. That asymmetry is in values.yaml and NOTES.txt
+because nothing else will report it.
+
+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.

+    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.egress.extraPorts, and expect to find out through an
+    application-level connection error rather than through this object.

+  - THE PROBE PATH IS RESTRICTED in this release, because

+    Probes come from the IP of the WORKER NODE running the pod. If none of those
+    CIDRs covers the node this pod lands on, the kubelet's probes are dropped
+    and THE POD NEVER BECOMES READY — the rollout then times out and the symptom
+    looks like a broken application. Compare
+
+      kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} describe pod -l app={{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-sfs
+
+    against `kubectl get node -o wide`.
+{{- else }}
+  - THE PROBED PORT IS OPEN INSIDE THE CLUSTER. networkPolicy.probeSources is
+    empty, so that rule carries no source selector at all and any pod the CNI
+    routes to can reach it. Not from the internet — but this is NOT pod-level
+    isolation. Narrowing it means listing the worker node IPs in
+    networkPolicy.probeSources, because the kubelet probes from the node's own
+    address and the chart cannot know it; a wrong guess there leaves the pod
+    permanently un-Ready.

+{{- /*
+NetworkPolicy for calibre-web-automated (Gitea #5).
+
+Calibre-Web-Automated keeps its library on a PVC and has no database and no
+cache of its own, so the only outbound traffic that matters is metadata
+lookups: cover art and book details fetched from public providers over HTTPS.
+
+That is why 443 is allowed and nothing else is. The failure mode if it were
+not: metadata lookups return nothing, which looks like a provider being down
+rather than like a policy - so the rule is here rather than left to
+extraPorts.
+
+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.

+NetworkPolicy for homeassistant (Gitea #5).
+
+INGRESS ONLY, AND THE MISSING EGRESS SECTION IS THE DECISION IN THIS FILE.
+
+Home Assistant's outbound traffic is the union of every integration an operator
+enables, and that set is unknowable to a chart: mDNS and SSDP discovery on
+5353/UDP and 1900/UDP, MQTT on 1883 or 8883, a Zigbee or Z-Wave bridge on
+whatever port its firmware chose, ESPHome on 6053, printers, speakers, TVs,
+inverters, cloud APIs on 443, an NTP client on 123/UDP. A port cap here would
+not protect anything meaningful - the devices are on the same LAN as the node -
+and it would break integrations ONE AT A TIME, months apart, each failure
+looking like a flaky device rather than like this object. There is no version
+of this list that stays correct.
+
+So the rule from valkey applies, in the other direction: policyTypes names only
+what there is something to restrict, because an egress rule that has to be
+widened until it permits everything makes the object look stricter than it is
+while costing real outages to get there. If a deployment wants an egress cap,
+it belongs in a release-level policy written against that installation's actual
+integrations - not in a chart that cannot see them.
+
+What the Ingress half still buys is real and worth having on its own: only 8123
+is reachable, so anything else this image or an add-on binds is not.
+
+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.

+NetworkPolicy for rallly (Gitea #5).
+
+Rallly reaches a Postgres, an OIDC provider and - when rallly.smtp.enabled is
+true - a mail server. The SMTP rule is the one thing in this sweep that is
+DERIVED from an existing value rather than always rendered: with SMTP switched
+off there is no mail traffic to permit, and a rule that permits nothing makes
+the object look stricter than it is.
+
+The ports are the standard ones, because every one of these dependencies
+arrives as connection details inside a 1Password item the chart never parses.
+
+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.

+NetworkPolicy for sure (Gitea #5).
+
+Sure runs two containers in one pod - a web container and a worker - and the
+policy covers both, because a NetworkPolicy selects PODS and not containers.
+That is worth knowing here: the worker declares no port at all and its probes
+are exec probes, so it contributes nothing to the ingress rules while being
+fully subject to the egress ones.
+
+Its dependencies are a Postgres (host and port are FIELDS of the 1Password
+item, which the chart passes through without reading) and a Redis. 443 is
+allowed for outbound HTTPS, which the worker needs for the external data this
+application fetches.
+
+One asymmetry worth noting: liveness uses /up, which touches neither Postgres
+nor Redis - deliberately, so a database outage does not restart the pod. The
+startup and readiness probes do more. Either way the probe port is 3000 and
+the probe path is open by default.
+
+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.

+NetworkPolicy for urlaubsverwaltung (Gitea #5).
+
+Urlaubsverwaltung takes a full JDBC URL from a 1Password item - "jdbc-url",
+e.g. jdbc:postgresql://host:5432/urlaubsverwaltung - and an OIDC provider,
+which it REQUIRES: there is no login path besides OIDC.
+
+BOTH DATABASE PORTS ARE ALLOWED, 5432 AND 3306, AND THAT IS A DELIBERATE
+LOOSENING. The chart cannot parse the JDBC URL to find out which engine is
+behind it, and this cluster runs both a Postgres and a MariaDB; allowing only
+one would mean a policy that breaks half the possible deployments on upgrade,
+with the symptom appearing as a connection timeout inside a Java stack trace.
+Two ports instead of one is a small widening against a large and silent
+failure, and it is written down rather than left to look like carelessness.
+
+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.

+NetworkPolicy for voucher-vault (Gitea #5).
+
+Voucher-Vault reaches a Postgres, a Redis and an OIDC provider, all three
+configured through 1Password items the chart never parses - so the egress rules
+name the standard ports (5432, 6379, 443) and a dependency elsewhere is blocked
+until networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts says otherwise.
+
+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.

+NetworkPolicy for zipline (Gitea #5).
+
+Zipline keeps its uploads on a PVC, so its only hard outbound dependency is
+Postgres. 443 is allowed in addition, because Zipline's optional OAuth
+providers (Discord, GitHub, Google, or an OIDC issuer) are configured through
+env and all of them are HTTPS - and a login path that silently cannot reach its
+provider is a worse failure than a slightly wider rule.
+
+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.
