jklein 9625d8b182 feat(bulwark): Gateway-API as an alternative to the Ingress
Group 3 of the #114 sweep. One route, one rule, at the root - and THREE
EXPECTATIONS ABOUT THIS CHART DID NOT SURVIVE CONTACT WITH IT:

  - #114 says bulwark has TWO Ingress objects. It has ONE. keycloak has two.
  - #114's measured table lists bulwark under rewrite-target. It has no
    rewrite-target annotation and CANNOT have one: NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH is
    compiled into the bundle, so the application cannot be served under a
    sub-path, and stripping a prefix at the proxy would yield a page that
    loads and then fetches everything from the wrong place. Every occurrence
    of the string "rewrite-target" in this chart - values.yaml, the schema,
    the Ingress template - is an explanation of exactly that. A grep for the
    string finds the refutations and counts them as occurrences.
  - ci/run-httproute-match-test.sh said in its header that bulwark was the
    second rewrite-target chart and would meet the #118 prefix/redirect
    assurance when group 3 landed. Group 3 landed and it does not: with no
    URLRewrite on a prefix other than "/", the assurance's precondition is
    never met here. The header is corrected rather than left standing, and it
    now says freesailarr is the only chart the pairing applies to.

So no redirect rule is added, and none is needed.

WHAT THIS MODE DROPS, MEASURED ON THE LIVE OBJECT rather than inferred. On
2026-10-12 the live Ingress on webmail.bekemeyer-klein.de carried

    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: 25m

supplied by the OPERATOR through ingress.annotations - values.yaml recommends
exactly that value and explains why the chart cannot pick it, so the chart
sets nothing and a reader of this repository alone would not find it. It is
the single annotation this installation depends on, and the Gateway API has no
body-size counterpart: implementation policy, not routing. Per decisions 1 and
2 of #114 it is NAMED, not rebuilt - in values.yaml, in the schema and in the
Gateway branch of NOTES.txt, in this application's own terms: an attachment
above the Gateway's default is rejected before Bulwark sees a byte, the 413
comes from the proxy, and it arrives after the user has written the mail and
attached the file.

CORRECTED CLAIM, the same one garage and calibre-web-automated needed: the
Ingress template, the bulwark.publicUrl helper and the schema all stated that
nothing outside the Ingress template FUNCTIONALLY reads ingress.domain. The
HTTPRoute reads it, so the claim held only while both modes were off. All
three now say so, and the route carries a required() of its own.

bulwark.publicUrl follows the ACTIVE mode instead of always printing
ingress.domain. The two differ exactly when httpRoute.hostnames is set, which
is how a migration off the Ingress runs - and printing the old host there
would hand the operator an OIDC redirect URI for the hostname being migrated
away from, a failure that surfaces as a rejected login at the identity
provider and says nothing about this chart.

Minor: additive, defaults unchanged. Empty helm template diff against
origin/main with ci/bulwark/test-values.yaml.

jklein b39f36ff5c feat(bulwark): new chart for Bulwark Webmail (1.0.0+up1.12.0)
Publish Helm Chart with patched Application Version / publish-helm-chart (push) Successful in 7s
Publish Bulwark Helm Chart / Publish Bulwark Helm Chart (push) Successful in 7s
SonarQube Analysis / SonarQube Analysis (push) Successful in 27s
A JMAP webmail client for the stalwart chart (Gitea #65): StatefulSet, one PVC
at /app/data, Service plus headless Service, Ingress at a host root, two
OnePasswordItems, three probes, computed limits, replicas plus scaleDown, strict
values.schema.json.

Everything below was measured against the source at tag 1.12.0 rather than read
out of the documentation, which was wrong about three of them.

THE DEFINING PROPERTY: THE VOLUME BEATS THE CHART, FOR EVERY VALUE, SILENTLY.
configManager.get resolves "admin override > env var > default", the admin
dashboard may write any key of CONFIG_ENV_MAP, and nothing reports that it just
disconnected the chart - so a helm upgrade can succeed and change nothing.
Upstream documents this for the server URL only; it is true of everything.
Exactly three values escape it (SESSION_SECRET(_FILE), ADMIN_PASSWORD,
BULWARK_TELEMETRY). The value that closes it, bulwark.adminConfigReadOnly,
defaults to false because its price is threefold: it freezes the settings policy
(and with it the only way to move Web Push off the vendor relay), it freezes an
override that ALREADY exists instead of removing it, and on a fresh install it
stops admin.json from being written at all - so the admin dashboard never comes
up and its login answers HTTP 500 while the pod stays Ready.

OIDC-only sign-in, with the real way back out of a lockout: not helm upgrade
with OAUTH_ONLY=false (oauthOnly goes through the same precedence chain) but
removing the override in the admin dashboard. That is why ADMIN_PASSWORD is set
- the dashboard is the door. It generates no random password and logs nothing,
so the #65 analogy does not apply.

SESSION_SECRET_FILE and OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET_FILE are both used - the better path
garage (#81) and keycloak (#83) did not have - in one projected volume mounted
WITHOUT subPath, because both are re-read on every use and a subPath mount is
never refreshed, and at mode 0440 because secret files are owned by root and
fsGroup only supplies the group.

Two backup statements, both at the value: without the session secret the
synchronized settings are unreadable out of an intact volume, and if the
dashboard's OAuth setup was ever used the client secret sits in config.json on
that volume in cleartext.

Probes: all three a plain GET on /api/health, with the limit written at the
readiness value - it carries process, HTTP acceptance, a free event loop and
Next.js routing, and nothing about the reported state or about Stalwart.

No ConfigMap, so the checksum/config rule (#82) has nothing to attach to, and
values.yaml says so explicitly; the op:// paths are covered by
checksum/secret-ref.

Renovate: no versioningTemplate, measured rather than assumed. 315 tags in eight
shapes (releases, a second v-prefixed family of the same images, an -always
flavour, floating minors and names, commit SHAs, betas, attestations) and plain
docker versioning excludes all six unwanted ones. Dry runs at 1.12.0, 1.11.0 and
1.10.0 are recorded in the block.

Part of #89 - deliberately not "Fixes", because one binding decision of the
issue was changed out of necessity and wants ratification rather than an
automatic close: the plan specifies HEAD /api/health for all three probes, and a
Kubernetes probe cannot send HEAD at all (HTTPGetAction has no method field; the
kubelet always issues GET). The alternative, an exec probe, would mean starting a
Node process every few seconds in an image that carries no curl and no wget. GET
is used instead and is marginally more capable than HEAD, so every limit the
issue argues is unchanged - but the decision is the maintainer's to confirm.
