 Measured locally: **30 charts, 408 scalars verified, 0 failed**, no cluster. The fail path was exercised rather than assumed, in all three of its shapes, against a throwaway copy of the chart as it stands on `main`: the unquoted schedule aborted the render with `yaml: line 6: did not find expected alphabetic or numeric character` and the test reported it; with only the schedule quoted, the star-valued `env` entry aborted the render on the StatefulSet instead; and with only the bool-looking value left — a render that **succeeds** — the type assertion produced a `FAIL` naming the variable, the container and the exact API-server message. **Seven charts still render their `env` block bare** (`matrix-synapse`, `minecraft-router`, `minecraft-server`, `rallly`, `satisfactory`, `teamspeak-server`, and `paperless-ngx` until #11); the test is green for them only because their fixtures set no hostile `env` value, and the overlay is what makes the difference between covered and merely green.
 
+### NetworkPolicy render test (all charts, every PR)
+
+`ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh [chart …]` (no argument = all charts) renders every chart with the same fixtures the install-test uses and holds **every `NetworkPolicy` it renders against the pod specs, probes and Services of the same render**. Introduced with Gitea #5, which put a policy into all 29 installable charts at once with `networkPolicy.enabled: true` as the default — 29 objects whose every failure mode is silent, because the API server accepts a policy that filters **nothing** exactly as readily as one that filters **everything**.
+
+| Assertion | What goes wrong without it | Who notices today |
+|---|---|---|
+| the `podSelector` matches a pod spec of the same render | the object sits in the namespace, is listed by `kubectl`, reads as a boundary and filters nothing at all — usually because a label was renamed in the workload template, a different file and a different diff | nobody, ever: nothing is denied, so there is no symptom to trace |
+| every **ingress** port is a `containerPort` of the selected pods | a NodePort number where a pod port belongs. The policy is evaluated at the pod's interface, *after* kube-proxy translated the port, so `30025` matches nothing while looking strict — and being the only rule for that port, it blocks every inbound connection instead | nobody in CI (see below), and in production as a service that went mute |
+| no ingress rule allows every source by accident | `from: []` allows everything, identically to having no `from` at all, while reading in a diff and in `kubectl` output as a restriction — the one mistake in this class that makes a policy *weaker* while looking *stricter* | nobody |
+| every port a **network** probe addresses is either unrestricted, or the chart offers `networkPolicy.probeSources` **and** says in `NOTES.txt` what a wrong CIDR costs | the kubelet probes from the IP of the worker node running the pod, which no chart can know. A restricted probe port without that address drops every probe: the pod never becomes `Ready`, the rollout times out, and the symptom reads as a broken application | the install-test, in production's CNI — **but not in CI**, see below |
+| **cross-chart egress**: where a chart dials another chart *of this repository*, its egress rule must contain the **pod** ports behind that chart's Services (#136) | an egress rule naming the **Service** port. kube-proxy does the ClusterIP's destination NAT *before* the policy is evaluated at the pod's interface, so the policy sees `podIP:targetPort` and the rule matches nothing wherever `port` and `targetPort` differ | nobody: the symptom is a **timeout**, not `connection refused`, and no error mentions a NetworkPolicy — `paperless-ngx` 14.0.0 shipped it and cost an outage on 2026-10-15 |
+
+Egress ports are otherwise **deliberately not** held against the pod's `containerPort`s: an egress port is a port on the *destination*, and that comparison would fail every chart that reaches a database.
+
+**The one exception is the fifth row, and it is the only assertion here that needs two charts.** For a database, a cache or the web the destination is in no render this repository has — but it *is* in a render when one chart dials the Service of another, and `paperless-ngx` → `apache-tika`, `gotenberg` is the single place in the repository where that happens (checked for #136: the three other charts naming `port: 80` in a policy are aiming at the **internet**, where there is no DNAT and 80 is the real port). So the pairs live in an explicit table (`EGRESS_PEER_ROWS`) rather than being discovered — a chart cannot know which Service another chart dials, because the address is a value or a 1Password field — and a row naming a chart that no longer exists **fails** instead of being skipped. Each row is checked on **two** renders: with the feature gate **on** the containment must hold, and with it **off** the requirement must not apply *and* those ports must be gone, so a gated rule cannot quietly become one that permits what the release cannot use.
+
+Two guards beyond the four, both earned rather than designed. **A chart that renders no policy at all fails** — that is how this issue decayed in the first place: `garage` (#81) and `keycloak` (#83) were both created *after* #5 was filed and both arrived without a policy, `keycloak` with its unauthenticated management surface on 9000. And **a `#` comment inside a rendered policy fails**, because a `#` comment is part of the *object*: it travels into the cluster, shows up in `helm get manifest` and `kubectl get -o yaml`, and lands in every release diff. Reasoning belongs in Go template comments, which render nothing. Both precedent charts failed that check when it was first run, which is what it is for.
+
+Four things to know before touching it:
+
+- **Assertion 3 is stricter than it first reads, deliberately.** A *missing* `from` is the documented open form and both precedent charts use it on purpose, so banning it outright was not an option. It is accepted only where the render itself justifies being open: every port of the rule is addressed by a network probe, or is published by a `NodePort` Service in the same render. Anything else is an allow-all nobody chose.
+- **`exec` probes are not network probes**, and that distinction carries real weight rather than being a technicality. An `exec` probe runs inside the container through the kubelet's runtime and puts no packet on the network, so a chart whose probes are all `exec` can restrict its port by source with **no `probeSources` at all** — which is why `valkey` and `minecraft-server` have the tightest policies in the repository and every web app has a looser one.
+- **Subchart documents are skipped by the comment assertion**, for a structural reason and not a lenient one: a dependency is fetched from the Helm registry rather than from the copy in this repo, 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. The subchart's own PR is where it is caught, because this test runs over `valkey` too.
+- **Anti-vacuum guard**, as in the tests above: `ci/networkpolicy/<chart>.yaml` is a render-only overlay applied **last**, whose job is to render the **source-restricted probe rule** — a branch no chart's own defaults ever reach, and the one containing the expensive mistake (a `namespaceSelector` and a `podSelector` written as two list entries instead of one would be an OR, opening the port to every pod in `kube-system`). A chart that *has* an overlay and still renders no restricted **probe** rule fails. That counter is specifically the probe rule and not "any restricted rule", because `keycloak` restricts two rules in its own defaults and would have satisfied a looser guard while the branch went unrendered.
+
+Measured locally: **30 charts, 210 assertions held, 0 failed**, no cluster, ~15 seconds. All twelve fail paths were exercised rather than assumed — and one earned its keep immediately: the `probeSources` check was a substring test, so a chart whose key had been **deleted** while the long comment above it still discussed the value passed it. It now looks for the key. The cross-chart assertion added two of those 210, and its own six fail paths were executed the same way: a required port removed from the rule, a wrong number in its place, a peer chart renamed away, the policy's name no longer following the `<release>-<chart>-<kind>` convention, the peers rendering no Service at all (which would make the requirement empty, and is treated as a failure because an empty requirement reads exactly like a satisfied one), and the gated rule made unconditional — which is the failure path of the *gate-off* half, since with the gate off and the rule properly gated the assertion must stay silent.
+
+**What this test does not and cannot cover, named so the gap is not mistaken for coverage:** that traffic still flows. No ingress controller runs in the install-test cluster, so the path from Traefik to a pod is proven nowhere in this pipeline — and, measured on the PR for #5, **k3s exempts the kubelet's probe traffic from policy**, so a blocked probe path does *not* turn the install-test red either (`cyberchef` became `Ready` in 69s with its probe port restricted to an address no probe can come from). What the install-test *does* prove is enforcement of everything the application itself needs: with `outline`'s DNS egress rule removed, its pod never became `Ready` and the job failed after 5m59s. So the net under this convention is real, but it is an **egress** net — which raises the stakes for assertion 2, since a wrong ingress port is caught mechanically here or not at all.
+
 ### Install-test (PR pipeline stage 2)
 
 For every chart a PR changes, `ci/run-install-test.sh <chart>` runs against a throwaway k3d cluster: it applies the stub `OnePasswordItem` CRD plus the chart's fixtures, `helm install`s the chart with its CI values, and waits for all Deployments/StatefulSets to roll out (per-chart timeout). Since probes and security hardening are active on all workloads, "Ready" means the app actually answers. On failure the job dumps pod descriptions, events and container logs.

+
+**Every chart renders a `NetworkPolicy`, and `networkPolicy.enabled` defaults to `true`.** Reference implementation: `template-chart/templates/xxx.networkpolicy.yaml`. The default is the decision the whole convention rests on — a policy that ships switched off is reached only when somebody remembers to switch it on, and then the issue is closed while nothing is filtered. Adding one to an existing chart is therefore a **major** bump.
+
+**What the object is: a ceiling on reachability, not an authentication layer.** Three limits are real and worth having, and for most charts here the first two are where all of the value sits:
+
+1. **Only the declared ports are reachable at all.** Whatever else the process binds — a debug listener, a management interface the image opens by default, a port that appears in the next app version — is blocked without anyone having to notice it exists.
+2. **Egress is capped by port**, so a compromised pod cannot open arbitrary outbound connections.
+3. **Ingress is capped by source for every port no network probe touches.**
+
+#### The four port classes, and why the class decides the rule
+
+Every port of a workload falls into one of four, and this is the part to get right before writing anything:
+
+| Class | Rule | Why |
+|---|---|---|
+| **probe path** — a port a *network* probe addresses | **no `from`** by default; restricted once `networkPolicy.probeSources` is set | the kubelet probes from the IP of the **worker node running the pod**, an address no chart can know. A guessed CIDR that misses it drops every probe: the pod never becomes `Ready`, the rollout times out, and the symptom reads as a broken application rather than as a policy |
+| **public** — published by a `NodePort` Service | **no `from`** | the senders are on the internet and, after NodePort masquerading, the source address is a cluster node anyway. A source selector could only ever be a list of node IPs — a restriction in appearance and a maintenance trap in fact |
+| **closed** — no probe, not published outside | own namespace + `allowedNamespaces` (+ the ingress controller where the chart routes HTTP there) | this is the only class that yields a *real* inbound restriction, and the charts that have one are the ones whose probes use a *different* port: `keycloak`'s 8080, `garage`'s s3 and web, `minecraft-server`'s RCON, `teamspeak-server`'s query interface |
+| **self** — a cluster bus between a release's own replicas | `podSelector` only, no `namespaceSelector` | the narrowest rule the object can express: "these labels, in this namespace". `keycloak`'s jgroups, `garage`'s rpc. Note that `policyTypes: Egress` means the **outbound** side needs its own rule, or the bus is open one way and the cluster never forms while every node looks healthy |
+
+**`exec` probes are not in the probe class**, and the distinction is load-bearing rather than pedantic: 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 accommodate. That is the entire reason `valkey` and `minecraft-server` have the tightest policies in the repository — every port restricted by source, no `probeSources` value at all — and every HTTP-probed web app has a looser one.
+
+#### Values
+
+`networkPolicy.enabled`, `.allowedNamespaces`, `.probeSources`, `.ingressController`, `.egress.extraPorts` — and a chart ships **only the ones that reach a rule**. A chart may add a **named** egress switch where a port depends on something the values cannot see: `paperless-ngx`' `.egress.mailImport` opens IMAPS `993`, off by default, because its mail accounts are rows in its own database and no value says whether a release fetches mail. The bar for one of those: it names what it opens, and it is **not** a second switch for a port some *other* value already decides — that is why the Tika/Gotenberg rule stayed gated on `paperless.files.tikaGotenberg.enabled` and got no policy switch of its own. Two values that can drift apart re-arm the outage the rule was fixed for. A value that silently does nothing is worse than one that is absent, because it reads as a control: `samba` and `satisfactory` carry `enabled` alone (every inbound rule is open to any source), and `teamspeak-server` has `allowedNamespaces` but no `probeSources`.
+
+**No chart ships `allowedNamespaces` pre-filled, ever.** A chart that named `mc-router`, or `paperless-jk`, or `stalwart` in its defaults would be baking in an assumption about *this* cluster's namespace layout — which is exactly the kind of claim a chart cannot keep true. So the default is the empty list and the chart is **restrictive**; filling it is the **deployment adaptation**, made where the namespace layout is actually visible. That is why a sweep like this produces a list of release-side one-liners: those are the expected procedure, not a defect list, and the breaking-change major on each chart is what announces them.
+
+`ingressController` is the one exception to that, and only because it names a **cluster component** rather than a tenant: its default is measured below, and it is still overridable.
+
+`ingressController` is a separate value with two keys rather than a line in `allowedNamespaces` for one reason: **its two selectors render as one `from` entry, which is an AND** — those pods in that namespace. Written as two list entries they would be an OR, and putting `kube-system` into `allowedNamespaces` instead would open the port to every pod in the cluster's own namespace. Its default is **measured, not assumed**: `ingress-nginx` is gone from this cluster, the only `IngressClass` is `traefik`, and the controller is the DaemonSet `rke2-traefik` in `kube-system` — which also serves the Gateway API here, so one source covers the Ingress and the HTTPRoute path alike. `ingress.className` says nothing about it: a class names an implementation, not the pods the traffic comes from.
+
+#### What these policies do not do — and it belongs in every chart, not just here
+
+- **Egress is coarse: by port, never by destination.** A `NetworkPolicy` matches `ipBlock` CIDRs and pod/namespace selectors and **never hostnames**, so "only to the database host" is not expressible 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 every chart to Calico — the same argument that kept implementation-specific objects out of the Gateway-API sweep (#114) — so it is **not used**. This is a limit of the object, and each chart names what it costs *that* chart.
+- **Most dependency ports are the standard ones, not the configured ones.** Databases, caches and OIDC issuers arrive as connection URLs or as fields inside 1Password items 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. The exceptions are the two charts that hold their ports as values and therefore derive them: `keycloak` (`keycloak.db.port`) and `stalwart` (`dataStore.postgres.port`, `externalServices.*.port`); `minecraft-router` derives its backend ports from its own routing table the same way.
+- **The probed port stays open inside the cluster by default.** For a single-port web app that means the policy is a port and egress ceiling, not pod-level isolation — say so in the chart rather than letting the object imply otherwise.
+- **A subchart's pods are not covered.** The policy selects this chart's workload by label; a subchart renders its own pods with its own labels. `ytdlp-web-player`'s oauth2-proxy is the sharpest case — with the proxy on, the pod that actually faces the Ingress is unrestricted in both directions, and an upstream chart is consumed as it comes (section 14). `paperless-ngx`' `valkey` is the opposite: it brings its own, tighter policy. Name which case a chart is in.
+- **And a policy is only a boundary where the CNI enforces one.** Unenforced, the API server still accepts it and nothing is filtered, so everything reads as configured. Verify by connecting from an unrelated namespace, not by reading the value.
+
+#### Where the convention says "Ingress only"
+
+`policyTypes` names only what there is something to restrict. `valkey` established it for a workload that opens **no** outbound connection: an egress rule would constrain nothing while making the object look stricter than it is. Three charts now invoke the same rule in the other direction, for outbound traffic nobody can enumerate — and each argues it in its own file rather than inheriting a blanket excuse:
+
+- **`homeassistant`**: 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). A cap would protect little — 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.
+- **`satisfactory`**: Steam's content delivery is not a pinnable port set, *and* this is the one chart with no install-test at all (`ci/excluded-charts.txt`), so an egress cap here would be the only one in the sweep with no empirical check behind it, on the chart whose correct port set is least knowable.
+- **`gotenberg`** goes the other way and is worth contrasting: it *keeps* a DNS-only cap deliberately, because it drives a headless Chromium and 3000 is its probe port — so an egress rule for 80/443 would turn a service the whole cluster can POST to into an SSRF pivot. The price is that HTML conversion silently loses remote assets, which is written into the chart because nothing will alert on it.
+
+#### Mechanics
+
+- **Pod ports, never NodePorts.** A `NetworkPolicy` is evaluated at the pod's network interface, *after* kube-proxy has translated a NodePort to the `targetPort`. `30025` where the pod listens on `25` matches nothing: accepted, strict-looking, and blocking every inbound connection instead. The render test asserts this mechanically against the selected pod spec's `containerPort`s.
+- **And pod ports, never Service ports — in `egress` too (#136).** The same destination NAT runs on the way *out*: kube-proxy rewrites a ClusterIP's address and port **before** the egress policy is evaluated, so the policy sees `podIP:targetPort` and never `clusterIP:port`. An egress rule therefore names the **pod** port of its destination, and a Service port only ever matches by coincidence — wherever `port` and `targetPort` are the same number, which is the case for `5432`, `6379`, `993` and `443` and is why this mistake stayed invisible until a chart dialled a Service that forwards `80` to `9998`. It was argued the other way in `paperless-ngx` (*"an egress rule names the port on the destination as the client dials it, and the client dials the Service"*), shipped, and cost an outage. **The tell is the symptom:** a dropped packet runs into a **timeout**, a missing listener answers `connection refused` — so a timeout where the service demonstrably exists is a policy question, and no Kubernetes error will say so. For a destination *outside* the cluster there is no NAT in the path and the port dialled is the port to name; the deciding question is the DNAT, not the direction.
+- **Protocol as well as number.** `teamspeak-server`'s voice port is UDP and `satisfactory`'s game port is both — a TCP-only rule on either is accepted, looks complete, and drops the traffic that actually arrives.
+- **`kubernetes.io/metadata.name`** is set by Kubernetes itself on every namespace (≥ 1.21), so namespace selectors need no labelling work on namespaces the chart does not own — and get no typo protection either.
+- **Never `from: []`.** It allows everything, identically to having no key, while reading as a restriction. Write no `from` where open is meant and say so in a template comment.
+- **Reasoning goes in Go template comments, not `#` comments.** A `#` comment is part of the rendered object: it travels into the cluster, appears in `helm get manifest` and `kubectl get -o yaml`, and lands in every release diff. The render test fails on a rendered `#`. One second-order trap, found while writing the reference implementation: prose inside a template comment must not spell out the comment's own closing delimiter, or the parser ends the comment early and the rest is emitted as manifest content — the render then fails with `did not find expected node content`, pointing at the template and not at the sentence.
+- **A conditional `containerPort` needs a conditional rule.** `minecraft-server`'s RCON port is rendered only when `server.rcon.enabled` is true; a rule without the same gate names a port the pod does not declare, and the render test rejects it.
+- **A policy applies to traffic that arrived through a Service, and that is why the `ingressController` rule works at all.** A `NetworkPolicy` is evaluated at the pod's network interface and a Service is only destination NAT, so going through a ClusterIP does not exempt anything. What the Service *does* change is the **source address**: pod → ClusterIP → pod **preserves** it, which is what lets a `podSelector` match the Traefik pod or a `namespaceSelector` match a consumer's namespace. **And what it also changes is the destination port, which is the half #136 was paid for:** "a Service is only destination NAT" is exactly why an *egress* rule has to name the pod port — the same sentence, finished in the other direction. It was written here before the wrong rule was written there; the information was present and the conclusion was missing, which is the sort of gap no check catches. Traffic from outside through a `NodePort` with the default `externalTrafficPolicy: Cluster` is **masqueraded to a node**, which is why those rules cannot be restricted by source at all and are left open instead (`stalwart`'s template carries that second half; the first half is the load-bearing one).
+
+#### The one cluster setting this convention depends on and does not control
+
+**Traefik must not run with `hostNetwork`.** Measured on 2026-10-14: the `rke2-traefik` DaemonSet has no `hostNetwork`, and its pods carry real pod IPs (`10.42.3.120`, `10.42.4.94`, `10.42.0.187` — the pod CIDR is `10.42.0.0/16`, nodes are on entirely different addresses). **Only because of that does a `podSelector` match it**, and the `ingressController` value is built on exactly that.
+
+If Traefik were ever switched to host networking, its pods would share the node's network namespace, they would no longer be selectable as pods, the `ingressController` entry would match nothing — and **every web chart in this repository would go dark at once**, in the restricted configuration. The policies would still be accepted, still read as correct, and deny all web traffic.
+
+This is a dependency on a cluster setting this repository does not own, in the same class as the `--enable-certificate-owner-ref` case from #126: nothing here can detect it, and nothing here can fail usefully on it. It is written down in both places someone would look — here, and in the header of `template-chart/templates/xxx.networkpolicy.yaml` — so that whoever changes the ingress controller's networking finds the consequence attached to the thing they are changing. The symptom to recognise: every chart's web traffic stops at once while every pod stays `Ready`, because the probe path does not go through the controller.

+NetworkPolicy for apache-tika (Gitea #5).
+
+Apache Tika here is a cluster-internal service: the chart creates no Ingress at
+all, and its only consumers are other pods - paperless-ngx points at
+http://<service>.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local for text extraction.
+
+THAT MAKES THE SOURCE QUESTION THE INTERESTING ONE, AND IT HAS AN AWKWARD
+ANSWER. 9998 is the port all three probes address, so it cannot be restricted
+by source without the worker node's IP - and this chart's consumers live in
+OTHER namespaces (paperless-cmk, paperless-jk, paperless-tb in this cluster).
+So an operator who narrows probeSources has to list those namespaces in
+allowedNamespaces in the same breath, or every document extraction stops. That
+is written into values.yaml and NOTES.txt rather than left to be discovered.
+
+Egress is DNS only. Tika extracts text from documents it is handed; it fetches
+nothing, and a text extractor that can reach the internet is a worse thing to
+hand an untrusted document to.
+
+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

+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.

+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 cyberchef (Gitea #5).
+
+CyberChef is a static web app: nginx serves files, the recipes run in the
+visitor's browser, and the pod holds no state and talks to nothing. That makes
+this the simplest policy in the repository and a good one to read first.
+
+What it is worth here is almost entirely the two CEILINGS rather than any
+source restriction: only 8080 is reachable, and outbound traffic is capped at
+DNS. The pod has no reason to open a single outbound connection - it serves
+static files - so the egress cap is as tight as the object allows. Were this
+image ever to gain a second listener, or were the container ever compromised,
+neither could be reached or could reach out.
+
+The ingress direction is NOT restricted by source in the default, and that is
+not an oversight: 8080 is the port all three probes address. See the probe note
+on the rule below.
+
+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.

+  mediathekarr's newznab port (5008), which is RESTRICTED by source because
+  nothing probes it and its only consumer is Prowlarr in this same pod.
+  Outbound: DNS, UDP 51820 (the WireGuard tunnel) and TCP 443 (gluetun's
+  server-list API){{ with .Values.networkPolicy.egress }}{{ with .extraPorts }}, plus TCP {{ join ", " . }}{{ end }}{{ end }}.
+
+  THE TEN CONTAINERS TALK TO EACH OTHER OVER LOCALHOST, so none of that traffic
+  is governed by this object at all — they share a network namespace. And
+  because that namespace belongs to gluetun, everything the *arr containers
+  send is encapsulated into the tunnel before it leaves the pod: indexer and
+  tracker traffic needs no egress rule of its own.
+
+  IF THIS POD WILL NOT BECOME READY, SUSPECT THE TUNNEL RULE. gluetun's health
+  server answers 200 only while the tunnel is up, and all three of its probes
+  address it, so a blocked UDP 51820 shows up as a pod that never goes Ready
+  rather than as a network error. 51820 is WireGuard's and Mullvad's standard
+  port; Mullvad also offers 53, 123, 500 and 4500 for obfuscation, and a
+  release on one of those has to widen the rule in the template —
+  networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts is TCP only.
+
+  AND IF SEERR CANNOT REACH AN IN-CLUSTER SERVICE (Jellyfin, say), two things
+  have to be true, not one: its port in networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts, and
+  gluetun.vpn.firewallOutboundSubnets set — gluetun's own firewall blocks
+  cluster-internal egress before this policy is ever consulted.
+
+  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
+    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.

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

+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.

+NetworkPolicy for garage (Gitea #5).
+
+Garage declares four ports and they split three ways, which makes this the
+second-clearest illustration of the convention after keycloak:
+
+  s3 (3900)     the S3 API. The Ingress points at it and no probe touches it,
+                so it is RESTRICTED by source.
+  web (3902)    static website serving, same treatment as s3.
+  admin (3903)  the port all three probes address - tcpSocket twice and a
+                httpGet /health - so it stays open inside the cluster. This is
+                also the admin API, which is the uncomfortable part and is
+                named in values.yaml: narrowing it means probeSources.
+  rpc (3901)    the node-to-node bus. It has NO Service at all, deliberately
+                (see garage.service.yaml), and it gets the narrowest rule this
+                object can express: the pods this policy itself selects.
+
+All four numbers are derived from garage.settings, so moving a port in values
+moves the policy with 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.

+NetworkPolicy for gotenberg (Gitea #5).
+
+Gotenberg here is a cluster-internal service: no Ingress, and its consumers are
+other pods (paperless-ngx converts mail HTML to PDF through it).
+
+EGRESS IS DNS ONLY BY DEFAULT, AND THAT IS A DELIBERATE, VISIBLE TRADE rather
+than an oversight. Gotenberg drives a headless Chromium, so an egress rule for
+80 and 443 would let anything that can POST to this service fetch arbitrary
+URLs through it - a textbook SSRF pivot, and the pod is reachable from the
+whole cluster by default because 3000 is the probe port. Blocking it costs the
+remote-asset half of HTML conversion: a converted page keeps its EMBEDDED
+content and loses the images it would have FETCHED, which degrades a PDF rather
+than failing a pod. The degradation is silent, which is why it is named here, in
+values.yaml and in NOTES.txt.
+
+A deployment that needs those images sets networkPolicy.egress.remoteAssets:
+true - a named switch rather than a line in extraPorts, so the trade is a
+decision someone made and not a port number nobody can place. Its default is
+off, because restrictive-by-default is the convention and the deployment is
+where reality is accommodated. The long form of what it buys, and of the one
+thing about it that was NOT verified, is on the rule itself.
+
+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.

+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.

+      this port, which is what makes the restriction possible.
+    - management ({{ $settings.ports.management | int64 }}): open inside the cluster, because all three probes

+  plus TCP {{ join ", " . }}{{ end }}{{ end }}.
+
+  TWO THINGS TO CHECK AFTER THE FIRST UPGRADE, because nothing else will.
+
+  1. LOG IN. This release is the cluster's identity provider, and the http rule
+     is the only source-restricted inbound rule in the repository. If the
+     ingress-controller source is wrong for this cluster, every login
+     everywhere stops — and no part of CI can see it, because no ingress
+     controller runs there and the probes use the management port, so the pod
+     becomes Ready either way. The default was measured against the live
+     cluster (DaemonSet rke2-traefik in kube-system, which serves the Gateway
+     API here too), but measured labels are not proven traffic.
+  2. CHECK YOUR CONSUMERS' ISSUER URLS. An application that reaches Keycloak on
+     its in-cluster Service address rather than its public URL is a pod in
+     another namespace, and the http rule blocks it. Those namespaces go into
+     networkPolicy.allowedNamespaces. Consumers using the public issuer URL
+     arrive through Traefik and are already covered.
+
+  AND MAIL IS NOT ALLOWED. Keycloak's SMTP server is configured per realm,
+  which this chart never sees, so verification and password-reset mail needs its
+  port (587 or 465) in networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts. The symptom otherwise is
+  mail that is never delivered, with a healthy pod behind it.
+
+  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
+    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.
+{{- if .Values.networkPolicy.probeSources }}
+  - THE PROBE PATH IS RESTRICTED in this release, because
+    networkPolicy.probeSources is set to
+      {{ join ", " .Values.networkPolicy.probeSources }}
+    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 }}-deployment
+
+    against `kubectl get node -o wide`.

+  - 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.
+{{- end }}
+  - IT IS ONLY A BOUNDARY WHERE THE CNI ENFORCES POLICIES. Where it does not,

+
+THE RICHEST POLICY OF THIS ROLLOUT, AND THE ONE WITH THE LARGEST BLAST RADIUS.
+Read both halves of that before changing anything here.
+
+Keycloak is the only chart in the repository whose three ports fall into three
+DIFFERENT classes, so it is the one place the convention is visible in full:
+
+  http (8080)        NOT addressed by any probe, so it CAN be restricted by
+                     source - and it is. Own namespace, allowedNamespaces, and
+                     the ingress controller. This is the only real inbound
+                     restriction in the sweep, and it is possible only because
+                     the probes use a different port.
+  management (9000)  the port all three probes address, so it stays open by
+                     default. That is unfortunate here specifically: 9000
+                     carries the health and metrics surface UNAUTHENTICATED,
+                     and "no Ingress" was its only protection before this
+                     object existed. The policy improves it from "anything that
+                     can route to the pod" to "anything inside the cluster",
+                     and networkPolicy.probeSources is what closes the rest -
+                     at the price of needing the worker node IPs.
+  jgroups (7800)     the cluster bus between this release's own replicas.
+                     Restricted to the pods this policy itself selects, which
+                     is the narrowest rule this object can express.
+
+All three port numbers and the database port are DERIVED from the chart's own
+values through keycloak.settings, not written down twice: an operator who moves
+keycloak.ports.http moves the policy with it. The database port is
+keycloak.db.port, so unlike most charts in this sweep the egress rule here is
+the CONFIGURED port and not a guess.
+
+THE BLAST RADIUS, stated plainly because it is the largest in this issue: this
+release is the cluster's identity provider. If the ingress-controller source
+below is wrong, every login everywhere breaks, and NOTHING IN CI CAN CATCH IT -
+no ingress controller runs in the install-test, and the probes use 9000, so the
+pod becomes Ready either way. The source was measured on the live cluster
+(DaemonSet rke2-traefik in kube-system, which also serves the Gateway API
+here), but measured labels are not proven traffic. After the first upgrade,
+verify with an actual login rather than with kubectl.
+
+AND THE SECOND TRAP, which is the same shape: a consumer that reaches Keycloak
+on its IN-CLUSTER Service address rather than through its public URL is a pod
+in another namespace, and the http rule blocks it. Those namespaces belong in
+allowedNamespaces. Consumers that use the public issuer URL arrive through
+Traefik and are already covered.
+
+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

+
+  Synapse: inbound TCP 8008 only; outbound DNS, TCP 5432 (Postgres), 443 and

+  {{ join ", " . }}{{ end }}{{ end }}.
+  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.

+NetworkPolicy for minecraft-router (Gitea #5).
+
+The router is the one chart here whose whole job is to forward traffic to OTHER
+releases, so its egress rule is the interesting one and it is DERIVED from the
+routing table rather than guessed: server.backendPort, plus the per-mapping
+"port" override for every entry of mappings that has one. Add a backend on a
+non-standard port and the policy follows it, because both come from the same
+value.
+
+What it does NOT express is the destination. The mappings name hosts
+(internalUrl), and a NetworkPolicy matches CIDRs and selectors and never
+hostnames - so the rule permits those PORTS to any address, not those services.
+A backend in another namespace is reachable through this rule; so is anything
+else listening on 25565.
+
+Inbound splits in two: the proxy port is a NodePort and faces the internet, the
+API port is the probe path.
+
+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 minecraft-server (Gitea #5).
+
+THIS IS THE CHART WHERE THE POLICY GETS GENUINELY TIGHT, and the reason is its
+probes: all three 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 accommodate on any port - which means every port here can be
+restricted by source, with no probeSources needed at all. valkey is tight for
+the same reason.
+
+The one rule that cannot be fixed is the game port, and it depends on a value:
+
+  server.service.type == NodePort  players arrive from the internet, already
+                                   masqueraded, so the rule must be OPEN.
+  anything else (the default)      the only reachable path is in-cluster, i.e.
+                                   minecraft-router, so the rule is RESTRICTED
+                                   to this namespace plus allowedNamespaces -
+                                   and the router's namespace has to be in that
+                                   list.
+
+Both branches are rendered from the same value the Service reads, so they cannot
+disagree. The RCON and metrics ports are restricted in either case.
+
+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

+NetworkPolicy for outline (Gitea #5).
+
+Outline is the first chart of this rollout whose policy has real work to do in
+BOTH directions, and it is also the one that proves the egress cap bites: all
+three of its probes hit /_health, which checks Postgres AND Redis, so a pod
+that cannot reach its data stores never becomes Ready.
+
+THE EGRESS PORTS ARE THE CHART'S ONLY KNOWLEDGE OF ITS DEPENDENCIES, AND THEY
+ARE A GUESS AT THE STANDARD ONES. Outline's database, Redis and OIDC provider
+are configured through connection URLs inside 1Password items - the chart never
+sees a host or a port, cannot derive one, and cannot validate one. So the rules
+below name the standard ports (5432, 6379, 443) and nothing else. A deployment
+whose Postgres listens anywhere else is BLOCKED, and it finds out through an
+application-level connection error, not through this object. That is the
+upgrade risk of this chart's policy, stated plainly; the escape hatch is
+networkPolicy.egress.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.

+      tighter one.
+    - the consume CronJob's pods, whose pod template carries NO labels at all,
+      so no podSelector can match them. They move files between mounted
+      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
+    outbound port the chart does not know about is BLOCKED: add it to
+    networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts, and expect to find out through an

+    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.
+{{- end }}

+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.
+
+THREE THINGS THIS POLICY DOES NOT COVER, and all three are real rather than
+theoretical (values.yaml lists the same three; this said "TWO" while listing
+three, which is corrected here because the third one is the mail rule below):
+
+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 UNLESS THE OPERATOR SAYS SO. Paperless' mail
+   accounts live in its DATABASE, configured through the web UI, so this chart
+   cannot see them and cannot derive the rule. networkPolicy.egress.mailImport
+   opens IMAPS (993) and is off by default; plain IMAP (143) and POP3 belong in
+   networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts. Left off on a release that does fetch mail,
+   the symptom 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 AND NEVER SERVICE PORTS.
+A NetworkPolicy is evaluated at the pod's network interface, after kube-proxy
+has already done its destination NAT - of a NodePort on the way in, and of a
+ClusterIP on the way OUT. So a NodePort number in an ingress rule matches
+nothing while looking strict (and, being the only rule for that port, blocks
+every inbound connection instead), and a SERVICE port in an egress rule matches
+nothing wherever the Service's port and its targetPort differ. The second half
+is not hypothetical: it is Gitea #136, it cost an outage on 2026-10-15, and the
+sentence that caused it is quoted as refuted at the Tika/Gotenberg rule below.
+
+ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh asserts every INGRESS port here against the
+containerPorts of the pod spec this policy selects. Egress cannot be checked
+that way - an egress port belongs to the DESTINATION, which for Postgres, Redis
+and the web is not even in the render. The one exception is Tika and Gotenberg,
+which are two charts of THIS repository: the same test renders them and asserts
+that the egress rule below contains their containerPorts.

+
+    THE SENTENCE THAT STOOD HERE IS WRONG. It is quoted rather than deleted,
+    because it reads perfectly and that is precisely how it survived review:
+
+        "an EGRESS rule names the port on the DESTINATION as the client dials
+         it, and the client dials the Service."
+
+    kube-proxy translates the destination of a ClusterIP Service (DNAT) BEFORE
+    the egress policy is evaluated at the pod's network interface. The policy
+    therefore sees podIP:targetPort and never clusterIP:port, so an egress rule
+    names the POD port. A Service port only ever matches by coincidence, where
+    port and targetPort are the same number - which is the case for 5432, 6379
+    and 443 above and below, and is the reason nothing else here broke.
+
+    THE SYMPTOM IS A TIMEOUT, NOT "connection refused", and that is the half to
+    remember: a missing service REFUSES, a dropped packet RUNS INTO THE TIMEOUT.
+    What this produced was httpx.ConnectTimeout out of paperless' parser, naming
+    the Tika URL and no NetworkPolicy at all - nothing in the error points here.
+
+    WHY 80 STAYS: it costs nothing and covers an installation whose Tika really
+    does listen on 80 - a foreign one behind a proxy, where 80 IS the pod port.
+
+    WHY THERE IS NO SWITCH OF ITS OWN for this rule, and that is deliberate: it
+    is gated on the FEATURE value, because a second value that can drift from the
+    feature re-arms exactly this outage. Whoever enables Tika and forgets the
+    policy switch lands back here, with the same message that does not point at
+    the policy. Rendered only while paperless.files.tikaGotenberg.enabled is
+    true, so a release without them still carries no rule that permits nothing.
+
+    9998 and 3000 are the containerPorts the apache-tika and gotenberg charts of
+    this repository declare, so they are fixed rather than guessed - and
+    ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh renders both of those charts and asserts that

+  # paperless.files.tikaGotenberg.enabled is true - 9998, 3000 and 80 for Tika
+  # and Gotenberg.
+  #
+  # WHY THAT RULE NAMES 9998/3000 AND NOT JUST THE SERVICES' 80 (Gitea #136, an
+  # outage on 2026-10-15). The note that used to stand here said:
+  #
+  #   "an egress rule names the port on the DESTINATION as the client dials it,
+  #    and paperless dials those charts' SERVICES, which listen on 80 and
+  #    forward to the containers' own ports."
+  #
+  # That is wrong, and it is kept as a quotation because it sounds right - which
+  # is why it was never checked. kube-proxy does the ClusterIP Service's
+  # destination NAT BEFORE the egress policy is evaluated at the pod's network
+  # interface, so the policy sees podIP:targetPort, never clusterIP:port. An
+  # egress rule therefore names the POD port: 9998 for apache-tika, 3000 for
+  # gotenberg, both read from those charts' containerPorts. The 80 stays because
+  # it costs nothing and covers a foreign Tika that really does listen on 80.
+  #
+  # AND THE FAILURE MODE IS A TIMEOUT, NOT "connection refused": a missing
+  # service refuses, a dropped packet runs into the timeout. 5432, 6379 and 443
+  # were unaffected only because their Service port and pod port are the same
+  # number.
+  #
+  # THREE THINGS IT DOES NOT COVER:
+  #   - The VALKEY SUBCHART'S POD. It carries its own labels, so this policy
+  #     does not select it - and it does not need to: the valkey chart ships a
+  #     NetworkPolicy of its own, and a tighter one.
+  #   - The CONSUME CRONJOB'S PODS. Their pod template carries NO LABELS, so no
+  #     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.
+  #   - MAIL FETCHING, unless egress.mailImport is switched on. Paperless' mail
+  #     accounts are rows in its database, configured in the web UI, so this
+  #     chart cannot see them and cannot derive the rule. Left off on a release
+  #     that does fetch mail, a mail rule silently stops importing.
+  #
+  # And the usual two: 5432 and 6379 are the STANDARD ports rather than the
+  # configured ones, and a policy is only a boundary where the CNI enforces
+  # one.
+  enabled: true
+  # Namespaces whose pods may reach this workload, in addition to the release's
+  # own namespace, which is always allowed. Empty means: own namespace only.
+  #
+  # Matched on the "kubernetes.io/metadata.name" label Kubernetes sets on every
+  # namespace itself, so no labelling work is needed on a namespace this chart
+  # does not own - and no typo protection either: a name that does not exist

+  # inside the cluster, since it carries no NodePort.
+  #
+  # That is the deliberate choice between two bad defaults. The kubelet's probes
+  # originate from the IP of the WORKER NODE running the pod, an address this
+  # chart cannot know and must not guess: a CIDR that excludes the real node
+  # blocks every probe, the pod never becomes Ready, the rollout times out, and
+  # the symptom reads as a broken application rather than as a policy.
+  #
+  # Narrow it by listing the worker node IPs (e.g. ["10.0.1.11/32"]) - and mind
+  # the companion trap: once this list is non-empty the rule IS restricted, so
+  # everything else that needs the port has to be in it. The chart adds the own
+  # namespace, the ingressController below and allowedNamespaces to the same rule for exactly that reason.

+  # at all - the controller's namespace in allowedNamespaces would open the port
+  # to every pod in kube-system.
+  #
+  # MEASURED ON THIS CLUSTER, NOT ASSUMED (2026-10-14): ingress-nginx is gone,

+NetworkPolicy for patchmon (Gitea #5).
+
+PatchMon has three outbound dependencies and all three arrive as connection
+details inside 1Password items the chart never parses: Postgres, Redis and an
+OIDC provider. So the egress rules name the STANDARD ports (5432, 6379, 443)
+and nothing else, and a deployment whose dependency sits elsewhere is blocked
+until networkPolicy.egress.extraPorts says so.
+
+Note the pod label this policy selects: the bare release-and-chart name,
+without the -deployment suffix most charts here use.
+
+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.

+  THE EGRESS RULE IS THE OPEN INTERNET ON TWO PORTS, and it has to be: fetching
+  other people's websites is what RSS-Bridge does, and a NetworkPolicy matches
+  CIDRs and selectors but never hostnames, so "only the configured bridges"
+  cannot be written. What the cap buys is that this pod can open NO other
+  outbound port — not a database, not SMTP, not SSH.
+
+  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
+    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.

+    CIDRs covers the node this pod lands on, the kubelet's probes are dropped

+    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.
