This chart's install-test had failed on the Gitea runner since the move
(#51): php-fpm as uid 33 unable to read /app/index.php, the startup probe
403ing through its whole 150s budget, the pod never Ready. The chart was
deliberately kept OUT of ci/excluded-charts.txt so that a pass would be
noticed rather than silenced.

It passed, in this PR. Measured from the run: k3d cluster up, helm install
in Ingress mode, pod 1/1 Ready in 22s with 0 restarts, no "Permission
denied" anywhere in the job, and all eight check contexts green.

The chart is ruled out as the cause by a diff rather than by an argument:
the rendered output for the fixture values is BYTE-IDENTICAL to
origin/main - proven in the previous commit to justify the Minor bump - so
the pod spec that succeeded is, line for line, the pod spec that had been
failing. The implicated layer is the runner, which is where #51 had
already placed the burden of proof. The control case arrived for free,
from evidence collected for an unrelated reason.

What this does NOT establish, and the docs say so: that it is repaired.
It is one run, nobody has identified what changed on the runner, and an
intermittent effect needs several runs per side. #51 therefore stays open
and is to be closed on a cause, not on a colour - which was the standing
instruction there before the green arrived.

Corrected accordingly, because shipping documentation that says the test
fails while it demonstrably passed is the half-finished state this repo
tries not to leave behind:

  - README: the httproute-test paragraph, guideline 4's closing passage on
    the last chart of the sweep, and the chart table row.
  - rss-bridge/templates/NOTES.txt: the Gateway branch no longer claims
    the chart has no successful install-test. What remains true, and is
    what it now says, is that the install-test installs the INGRESS mode,
    so the Gateway mode is render-only - the same position as all 21 other
    charts of the sweep rather than a worse one.
  - ci/httproute/rss-bridge.yaml: same correction, plus why the overlay
    stays load-bearing either way.

The wiki carries the same correction in the same round (rss-bridge, CI-CD)
plus a Lessons-Learned entry on the decision that produced the signal: an
excluded test is not a quiet test but a blind one, because you also lose
the moment the fault stops existing.

rss-bridge was the twenty-second and last chart of the Gateway-API sweep:
22 charts carried an Ingress template, 21 an HTTPRoute template, and the
difference was exactly this one. It had been held back as frozen by #51 -
a runner defect, not a property of the chart - and that freeze is lifted.

One HTTPRoute carrying ALL THREE hostnames, because nothing differs per
host: every name serves the same Service at "/", measured on the live
Ingress. spec.hostnames is a list, so one object is the whole answer and a
second would repeat one rule. (Unlike homeassistant, whose paths differ per
host, or matrix-synapse, whose two routes want different backends.)

httpRoute.hostnames is its own MANDATORY value, which is a third shape for
this repository and follows from the values rather than from taste. Most
charts fall back to ingress.domain; freesailarr and homeassistant reject a
hostnames key outright, because a chart-global list could not say which app
or host entry it belonged to. This chart has no ingress.domain either, but
its names are unambiguous - and the ingress.hosts list it would otherwise
reuse carries per-host tlsSecretName values that address nothing once TLS
sits on the Gateway's listener. Reusing it would drag a structure whose
other half is meaningless into the new mode.

rss-bridge.tlsGroups is therefore INERT in Gateway mode, and that is named
as a simplification rather than quietly translated: the helper exists only
to group hosts by TLS secret name, and there is nothing left to group. The
required() on ingress.hosts needed no change to become conditional - it
already sits inside the Ingress template behind ingress.enabled - so what
is new is that values.yaml and the schema now say so.

The ingress.enabled-derived-value screen that caught sure, freesailarr and
ytdlp-web-player was run here and came back CLEAN: outside the Ingress
template the only readers of an ingress value are NOTES.txt, which knows
its own mode, and tlsGroups, called only from behind the switch. The app
takes no base URL in its environment, so no "published" helper is needed.

First chart of the sweep whose Gateway branch has NO loss to explain, and
it was measured rather than assumed (read-only kubectl against the live
object): the running Ingress carries the cert-manager annotation plus Helm
and Rancher/Fleet bookkeeping, and not one nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io
annotation. The group-3 screen came back empty, so NOTES.txt says so
positively instead of copying a loss paragraph from another chart.

Also corrects the last occurrence in the repository of the outdated
sentence "charts in this repo deliberately have no dependencies"
(rss-bridge/templates/_helpers.tpl) - dependencies are admissible but
expensive since #214, and ytdlp-web-player, stalwart and paperless-ngx use
subcharts. The reason the helper is duplicated is unchanged, only its
content: sharing it would mean a library chart, a second artefact to
publish, version and pull for about one change a year.

Minor, not major: additive, defaults unchanged, and relaxing a required is
not a tightening. Proven with an EMPTY helm template diff against
origin/main for the defaults (229 lines, byte-identical); the Gateway mode
with its overlay renders the HTTPRoute in place of the Ingress and nothing
else changes. appVersion untouched - 2026-09-30 is the newest date tag the
registry has, everything newer is sha-* and latest.

ci/run-httproute-match-test.sh goes from 56 assertions over 21 charts to
58 over 22. The overlay at ci/httproute/rss-bridge.yaml has to SUPPLY
hostnames, the second in the repository that does (homeassistant's was the
first, for a different reason), because this chart has no fallback.

NOT PROVEN, and stated in the PR as well: that traffic flows. No Gateway
controller runs in CI and no HTTPRoute reaches "Accepted: True" there. For
this chart there is additionally NO successful install-test at all - it
fails on the Gitea runner in either mode (#51, reproduced on two images
while the same chart and image run healthy in the cluster). The chart is
deliberately NOT added to ci/excluded-charts.txt: an exclusion would
silence the signal, and the day the runner is fixed the test goes green by
itself. So the only red contexts expected here are
"Install-test / Install-test rss-bridge" and the collective
"Validate Helm Charts / Install-test".

jklein 3fa67d55ef rss-bridge: new chart
Takes over the four loose manifests in cluster-config/rss-bridge/ as a
proper chart, on the current template-chart standard: strict values
schema, null-safe helpers, computed limits, replicas/scaleDown,
checksum/config, NOTES.txt.

Two things deviate from the repo standard on purpose:

- The Ingress models host AND TLS secret name per entry instead of the
  single conventional tls-<release>-<chart>-ingress. The installation
  this replaces has grown three separate certificates, one per host.
  Renaming them would make cert-manager issue three new ones and leave
  each host unreachable until it did - a self-inflicted outage on a
  deployment that has been up for over a year. Entries sharing a secret
  name are grouped into one tls entry, and omitting the name falls back
  to the convention, so consolidating later is a values change.

- Requests and limits are decoupled. The old manifest requested 2Gi of
  ephemeral storage, identical to its limit, reserving two gigabytes for
  a workload measured at 2.2 MB after fetching all five whitelisted
  bridges. The request drops to 64Mi; the limit stays at 2Gi.

Hardening was verified rather than assumed. The image ships no USER and
runs as root by default, but runs fully hardened once its writable paths
are provided: uid/gid 33, readOnlyRootFilesystem, all capabilities
dropped, seccompProfile RuntimeDefault. The writable paths were found by
running the image with a writable rootfs, exercising every bridge and
reading its diff layer - /app/cache, /run, /run/php, /var/lib/nginx.
/tmp did not show up that way, because PHP's opcache creates its lock
file there and unlinks it immediately; it only surfaced when the
hardened container died at startup. Stopping at the first writable path
would have shipped a chart that cannot start.

Probes use the app's own /?action=health, which renders fixed JSON
without touching the cache or any remote site, so neither a scraped site
going down nor an unwritable cache can restart the pod.

Fixes #128
