Update dependency kubernetes/kubernetes to v1.37.1

paperless-ngx cannot run without a Redis - PAPERLESS_REDIS is the Celery
broker - so every installation needed a second Helm release whose address
lived in a 1Password item and in neither chart. This adds our own published
valkey chart as an optional dependency, off by default and gated on
valkeySubchart.enabled (not valkey.enabled, which the subchart's strict
schema rejects and which Helm would only have complained about for whoever
first switched it on). Additive, default behaviour unchanged: minor,
12.1.3+up3.2.1 -> 12.2.0+up3.2.1.

Configured as a QUEUE (PVC + noeviction, the subchart's defaults), unlike
stalwart's cache. Read off the 3.2.1 source rather than assumed: one
PAPERLESS_REDIS url serves five consumers - the Celery broker, the result
backend (Redis in 3.x, the database before), the channels pub/sub layer and
two Django caches. allkeys-lru would not be a trade here but actively wrong,
because LRU evicts typeless across the whole keyspace and a backlog of
waiting consume tasks is exactly what it reads as cold; a dropped task is a
document silently never processed. The price, named in values.yaml rather
than smoothed over: two of the five consumers are caches, so a full instance
refuses writes - new tasks included - and the answer is memory sizing, not a
policy change. All three cache-like consumers are TTL-bounded, which is what
keeps that price small.

The password comes from the SAME item as the Redis connection, in a third
field auth-conf holding the complete line "requirepass <password>". It cannot
DEFAULT to secrets.redisSecretRef, and that is a property of Helm, not an
omission: a values.yaml is never templated and a parent cannot compute a
subchart's value. Measured - a template expression there lands verbatim in
the subchart's itemPath and fails as a YAML parse error naming neither the
value nor the cause.

Forgetting it is therefore caught in values.schema.json, by a conditional
rule rather than a fail() in a template. Also measured, and the reason:
Helm renders a subchart's templates BEFORE the parent's, so a guard in this
chart loses the race to the subchart's own required(), which reports
"secrets.authSecretRef" and cannot know the path belongs to the redis item.
A check that cannot fire is the mistake found while testing #77, so the
first draft of that guard was removed rather than shipped. The schema runs
before any rendering and names /valkey/secrets/authSecretRef.

One trap found while testing and closed here: "valkeySubchart: null" DELETES
the key, Helm then cannot resolve the condition path and treats the
dependency as ENABLED - so erasing the switch turned the subchart on with no
password set. Unlike every other block in this chart (issue #99), that one
is rejected by the schema instead of defaulting.

The install-test now runs with the subchart ON and the throwaway redis
Deployment removed: the url in the fixtures names ci-valkey-service, so the
bundled Valkey is the broker the release actually uses. #65 covered this
path by a render only - deliberately, since an unused Valkey would have made
that test look like it covered clustering. This is the first real
installation of the valkey-subchart path.

Documented, not glossed: the password now sits in that item twice and a
rotation has to touch both fields; with the subchart on the vault url is a
mandatory step, not a hint; and a OnePasswordItem materializes every field
of its item, so both Secrets carry all three keys - untidy, harmless, and
written down so nobody "tidies it up".

Fixes #78

-      # instead, so nothing sensitive appears in any argument. The price of that

Pins uid 1000 rather than the repo's 20000, because the image owns `/home/convertx` with it and the uid owns PV data. `readOnlyRootFilesystem: true` with two emptyDirs, `/tmp` and `/home/convertx` — the latter is `HOME`, which the chart also sets explicitly, because LibreOffice, Calibre and fontconfig build their profiles there on the first conversion. Probes use `/healthcheck` (static 200, unauthenticated); `/` is never a 200, it 302s to `/setup` or `/login`. `JWT_SECRET` is a required `OnePasswordItem` — unset, the app mints a fresh one per process and every restart logs everyone out.

To run an older JVM with the current chart, set `image.tagOverride`; the chart then checks that `minecraft.version` fits the Java line of the **effective** tag and fails the render with both values named. Two cases pass unchecked on purpose: a tag without a `java<N>` part and a `minecraft.version` that is not a plain numeric `x[.y[.z]]`. `image.tagOverride` is deliberately outside Renovate's reach — `renovate.json5` tracks `appVersion` only. Since chart 2.0.0 the tag is an **immutable dated upstream release** (`appVersion: <release>-java8` / `-java17` / `-java21` / `-java25`, e.g. `2026.8.2-java8`) instead of the continuously rebuilt rolling line tag.

The password comes from the **same 1Password item** as the Redis connection, in a third field `auth-conf` holding the complete line `requirepass <password>` — so the password sits in that item **twice** and a rotation has to touch both fields. Two more traps: with the subchart on, `redis-connection-url` in the vault **must** be repointed at `<release>-valkey-service:6379` or the bundled Valkey runs unused, and `valkeySubchart:` must not be erased — a null override deletes the key, Helm reads an unresolvable `condition:` as *enabled*, so erasing the switch turns the subchart **on** (rejected by `values.schema.json`).

So the chart renders that ConfigMap (secret-free: `authSecret` uses the `EnvironmentVariable` variant, so the password arrives by `secretKeyRef` and `checksum/config` stays meaningful), one StatefulSet per entry of the `nodes` **map** with `STALWART_ROLE` and `STALWART_HOSTNAME`, one NodePort Service **per port** (not per group — a NodePort is cluster-unique, so `full` and `mx` can only take SMTP behind the same Service, selected by a per-port pod label), a per-group ClusterIP `http` Service for the Ingress, per-group headless Services and NetworkPolicies, and a cert-manager `Certificate` for the mail ports. Everything else is operator work in the WebUI, which is why `NOTES.txt` carries an eight-step first install. Four traps worth knowing before reading the chart: **the role lookup fails open** — a node whose `ClusterRole` is missing from the database enables every listener *and* every task while staying Running with a green probe, so `mx` ships at `replicas: 0` and the NetworkPolicy is a ceiling independent of what was bound; **`NET_BIND_SERVICE` is a documented deviation needed to `exec`, not to bind** (the image sets `setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep`, so `drop: [ALL]` alone makes the kernel fail `execve` — removing it as "unused" stops the chart starting); **`externalTrafficPolicy` must be `Cluster`** (no pod runs on a control-plane node while the HA proxy delivers to them, so `Local` would drop every packet) and the source address it costs is restored only by the HA proxy's PROXY v2 header; and **`/healthz` is rate-limited to 100 req/60s per source IP**, which is a node IP for kubelet probes, so the probe intervals are calculated rather than chosen. A first install needs `bootstrap.enabled: true` because the setup wizard appears only when `config.json` is *absent*. Optional `valkey` subchart — **this repo's own chart, from the published index**, off by default and gated on `valkeySubchart.enabled` (not `valkey.enabled`, which the subchart's strict schema rejects); never change `valkey/` and this chart in the same PR, see "Chart dependencies" |

Only the web container migrates (the image entrypoint runs `db:prepare` solely for the `./bin/rails server` command, so the worker is started through `args:` and skips it). Three 1Password items (app/database/redis); Postgres and Redis stay external. Readiness deliberately probes `/` rather than Rails' `/up`, which is a boot check and touches no database; the worker's three probes ask `sidekiqmon` for this pod's own heartbeat. `ingress.domain` is read for `APP_DOMAIN` and the WebAuthn relying party, so it stays required with the Ingress switched off |

 - `publish-<chart>.yml` — one thin workflow per chart; triggers on pushes to `main` touching `<chart>/**` (or manually) and calls the reusable workflow below. **A push to a chart directory on `main` publishes that chart**, so the chart version must be bumped in the same change.
-- `publish-helm-chart.yml` — reusable workflow: `helm package`, then a single HTTP `POST` of the packaged `.tgz` to the private chart registry. The target is a **classic, index-based** Helm registry (Gitea's `/api/charts` endpoint), not an OCI one: `helm push` speaks only OCI and is not used, there is no `helm registry login` session, and every request carries its own Basic auth. Credentials **and the target URL** come from 1Password Connect (`OP_CONNECT_TOKEN` secret, item `op://GitHub-Actions/jlab-registry-access/` with `username`, `password`, `charts-url`); the workflow appends `/api/charts` to `charts-url`. No registry address ever appears in this repository. The loaded values are read via **`steps.<id>.outputs.*`**, mapped into the step's own `env:` block and used as quoted shell variables — never interpolated into the command line. `load-secrets-action` **v5 no longer exports them as environment variables** for later steps the way v4 did, so after the v5 bump every `${{ env.* }}` reference resolved to an empty string while the loading step still logged `Populating variable` and stayed green. Each value is additionally guarded with `:?`, because an empty one used to collapse into a missing argument rather than an error. Three properties of the upload step are load-bearing:
-  - **Credentials stay out of the process list.** `curl --user "$U:$P"` would put them in `argv`; the step uses `curl --config -` and pipes the options in on stdin instead.
-  - **A failed upload fails the job.** Unlike `helm push`, `curl` exits **0** on HTTP 401/403/409 — a publish would go green with nothing uploaded. `--fail-with-body` turns those into a non-zero exit and still prints the response body, so the log names the cause.
-  - **The file name is built, not globbed.** `<chart>-<version>.tgz` is assembled from the chart name and the version already read from `Chart.yaml`; `--upload-file` takes exactly one file, and a glob matching two silently turns the second into curl's URL argument. `helm package` keeps the `+` of a `1.4.0+up1.9.2` version verbatim in the file name, so the built name is an exact match.
+- `publish-helm-chart.yml` — **not in this repository any more.** The reusable workflow lives in [`workflow-util/pipelines`](https://git.jk-dev.de/workflow-util/pipelines), the shared building-block repo, and the callers here bind it to a tag: `uses: workflow-util/pipelines/.gitea/workflows/publish-helm-chart.yml@v3` (Gitea #66). It still does the same thing — `helm package`, then a single HTTP `POST` of the packaged `.tgz` to the private chart registry, which is a **classic, index-based** Helm registry and not an OCI one, so `helm push` is not used, there is no `helm registry login` session, and every request carries its own Basic auth. What changed is who supplies what:
+  - **`registry-owner: ${{ github.repository_owner }}`** in each caller's `with:`. The owner used to be derived inside the workflow (#63); it is now a required input with no default, so the expression is evaluated **here**, in the calling repository, where the value is measured. That is `pipelines`' house rule — a shared block never guesses an owner segment — and it is why every caller carries that one extra line.
+  - **`secrets: inherit`**, unchanged, for `OP_CONNECT_TOKEN`.
+  - the repository **variable `OP_CONNECT_HOST`**, which replaced the Connect host that used to be hardcoded in our copy. A shared block must not carry one tenant's infrastructure address; the block's first step fails and names the variable when it is unset.
 
-  Note: the registry **accepts a re-upload of an already published version** (HTTP 201) and replaces the stored artifact, so a republish of an existing version is still silent — see #160.
+  The registry credentials and the target URL still come from 1Password Connect (item `op://GitHub-Actions/jlab-registry-access/` with `username`, `password`, `charts-url`). `charts-url` holds only the **base up to `/api/packages`** and the block composes `<charts-url>/<owner>/helm/api/charts`, so **the publish target and its credentials appear nowhere in this repository.** `ci/helm-dependencies.sh` is still run before `helm package`, and it is still **our** script: the block's checkout clones the calling repository, so it runs from this tree.
+
+  **What this does *not* claim any more**: that no registry address is in the repo at all. That wording was true until a chart took one of our own published charts as a subchart — `stalwart`'s `Chart.yaml` names `https://git.jk-dev.de/api/packages/jlab-cluster/helm` as a dependency `repository:`, because a Helm dependency is resolved from a URL in the chart and there is nowhere else to put it. The narrower claim above is the one that matters and it is unchanged: that is the **read** path, the index is anonymously readable (measured), so it carries **no credential** and grants nothing a `git clone` of this repo does not already imply. The host itself has always been in `CLAUDE.md`; what is new is only the read-only path segment.
+
+  The reasons behind the upload step are **not repeated here**, because they are no longer ours to keep current: why both halves of the composed URL are guarded, why the credentials go in through `curl --config -` instead of `--user`, why `--fail-with-body` is what makes a failed upload fail the job, and why the file name is built rather than globbed, are all on the [`publish-helm-chart` wiki page](https://git.jk-dev.de/workflow-util/pipelines/wiki/publish-helm-chart) of that repository. Nothing was dropped in the move — the upload step's shell body went across unchanged except for two error messages that name the owner as an input.
+
+  Note: the registry **accepts a re-upload of an already published version** (HTTP 201) and replaces the stored artifact, so a republish of an existing version is still silent — see #160. That is also what makes a manual `workflow_dispatch` of any `publish-<chart>.yml` a harmless way to prove the shared block works.

It runs in **five** places, because every helm command this repo builds on exits 1 while a declared dependency is missing: before lint and package in `validate-charts.yml`, before package in the shared publish block (which is why that block names this script as a prerequisite of its callers — see above), and inside `ci/run-install-test.sh`, `ci/run-quantity-render-test.sh` and `ci/run-trivy-config.sh`. See "Chart dependencies" in the style guidelines for what that costs.
 - `validate-charts.yml` — PR pipeline: detects which charts a PR touches and, for exactly those, runs `helm lint --strict`, `helm package`, and a chart-version bump check (`template-chart` is exempt from the version check). PRs without chart changes skip the build matrix. After the build stage, an **install-test** job (the same changed-charts matrix, minus the charts listed in `ci/excluded-charts.txt`) installs each changed chart into an ephemeral [k3d](https://k3d.io) cluster on the runner and requires every workload to become Ready — see below. Both matrices follow the changed chart directories, so a PR that only changes the harness under `ci/` exercises nothing by itself; the Trivy scan has a fixed-sample fallback for that case, the install-test has none — bump the affected chart's patch version to pull it into the matrix, or run the all-charts install-test after the merge. The **resource-quantity render test** is the exception to that rule: it runs over every chart on every PR — see below.
 - `install-test.yml` — reusable workflow (`workflow_call`) holding the install-test **job** itself: the runner-label expression, the pinned `kubectl` with its skew check, `envsubst`, the containerised-job detection, the per-leg k3d cluster and the `freesailarr` VPN credentials. Its one input is a JSON array of chart names; its callers decide *which* charts are tested and whether the job runs at all, never *how*. Two callers: `validate-charts.yml` and `install-test-all-charts.yml`. **It is not copied for the second caller** — a second copy is a second chance to test differently, unnoticed, the same argument that gives `ci/excluded-charts.txt` exactly one parser.
+
+  **It stays in this repository, and that is a decision, not an oversight** (Gitea #66, decision 4). It is reusable in form but not in substance: it is welded to the `ci/` fixtures, to the `ci/excluded-charts.txt` parser and to this repository's chart matrix. A building block that only one repository can use is not shared, it is merely moved somewhere else — and moving it would buy nothing while putting a tag between us and a file we change often. `publish-helm-chart.yml` was the opposite case: it takes a chart name and a registry owner and knows nothing about this repository, which is exactly why it could go. This note exists so the question is not asked again in half a year.
 - `install-test-all-charts.yml` — manually dispatched **all-charts install-test**: the same job, with a matrix over every installable chart instead of the changed ones. Optional input for a subset of charts (empty = all). See below for when to run it.
+- `sonar.yml` — **SonarQube analysis**, a hull like the publish ones: it triggers on pushes to `main` (no `paths` filter — the analysis looks at the whole tree) or manually, and calls `workflow-util/pipelines/.gitea/workflows/sonar-analysis.yml@v4` with `secrets: inherit`. The project-specific half is `sonar-project.properties` in the repo root. **It is not a gate** and it does not block anything — see below.

 **Runner labels mean different machines than on GitHub.** `ubuntu-latest` here has **no Docker socket**; `ubuntu-docker` has one. Exactly one job cares — the install-test, because k3d is a Docker client — and its `runs-on` is therefore an expression rather than a fixed label, so the same file still works on a GitHub runner where `ubuntu-docker` does not exist. Every other job (lint/package, the quantity render, the Trivy scan) needs no socket and stays on `ubuntu-latest`.

 **An excluded chart is dropped from the matrix, not skipped inside its job (#231).** It used to get a job that ran the script, printed `SKIP` and exited 0 — and GitHub knows only the exit code, so the check list showed `Install-test satisfactory ✓` for a chart whose image was never pulled, indistinguishable from one that really came up in the cluster. `detect-changed-charts` now removes the excluded charts before the matrix is built, so no job exists for them and nothing claims they passed. Because an absence on its own says nothing, that job writes every excluded chart of the PR **with its documented justification** into the job summary — a `Skipped` would only say "not run", and why is the question a review actually asks. The list is parsed in exactly one place: `ci/run-install-test.sh --list-excluded` emits `<chart><TAB><reason>` and the workflow calls it instead of re-implementing the format in YAML, since a second parser would be a second chance to select different charts — silently, and in either direction. The script keeps its own `SKIP` branch for local runs. What cannot be done instead: deciding per chart in an `if` on the install-test job, to get a visible `Skipped` entry rather than an absent one. GitHub rejects it with `context "matrix" is not allowed here` — `jobs.<id>.if` is evaluated **before** the matrix is expanded, so the `matrix` context does not exist there, and the whole workflow ends in failure with zero jobs created (measured on the closed PR #233).

+### SonarQube analysis (after the merge, and not a gate)
+
+`sonar.yml` sends the whole tree through a SonarQube analysis. The workflow itself is the shared block [`sonar-analysis.yml`](https://git.jk-dev.de/workflow-util/pipelines/wiki/sonar-analysis) in `workflow-util/pipelines`, bound to `@v4`; the only thing on this side is `sonar-project.properties` in the repo root, holding the project key `JLab-Helm-Charts`. **That key is read off the existing project in SonarQube, not derived** — it is the one the maintainer set up, and a guessed key (`jlab-cluster_helm-charts`, reasoned from the instance serving two owners) is what made the first run fail. The file carries **no `sonar.projectName`** on purpose: once the project exists, the display name belongs to the server, and a name sent with every analysis would overwrite a rename there silently.
+
+**What is analysed — measured, not taken from a language list.** The first run (run 375) loaded exactly **two quality profiles, `json` and `yaml`**; the sensors that did work were **IaC Kubernetes** (3.4 s) and the **secrets detection** (`TextAndSecretsSensor`) over all 391 indexed files.
+
+| What is in this repository | Analyser | Runs? |
+|---|---|---|
+| 238 YAML files and 26 Helm template directories | IaC Kubernetes, YAML | yes |
+| 26 `values.schema.json` | JSON | yes |
+| the whole tree (391 files) | Secrets | yes |
+| the 5 shell scripts under `ci/` — the whole CI logic | Shell | **no** |
+| the 30 workflow files | GitHub Actions | **no** |
+
+**The two missing rows are not a configuration mistake, and nothing in this repository can fix them: analysers come from the *server*, not from the scanner.** The language list the earlier version of this table was built from describes the newest SonarQube release; this instance does not have the Shell and GitHub Actions plugins. The consequence is worth stating plainly rather than leaving it to be rediscovered — **the files carrying the actual logic, the five `ci/` scripts and the thirty workflows, are not analysed at all.** What runs is IaC over the charts plus secret detection over everything. Whether the instance gets upgraded or gains those plugins is a decision for whoever runs it, not something this repository settles; `shellcheck` and review remain the only check on the scripts until then.
+
+The secrets row is the valuable one that *does* run. **The premise of this repository is that no credential ever lands in it** — every secret is a 1Password `OnePasswordItem` reference — and until now nothing checked that premise. What it actually reports is still unknown: run 375 built the report (603 kB) but never uploaded it, because the upload is where the wrong project key failed.
+
+**It is not a gate, and that is a decision.** The SonarQube Community Build analyses the **main branch only**; there is no pull-request analysis to hook into, so the trigger is a push to `main` and **a finding appears after the merge**. At that point there is nothing left to block, which is why the shared block carries no quality-gate step: a red gate behind the merge would only colour `main` red without having prevented anything, and a permanent red is a thing people learn to ignore — taking the credibility of `validate-charts` with it. A gate becomes the right thing under one of two conditions: pull-request analysis is available, or a deployment hangs off the workflow. Until then, read the findings in SonarQube; nothing in this repository turns red because of them.
+
+**No exclusions, for the first round.** Including the Helm templates, which are not valid YAML because of `{{ }}`. What the Helm and YAML analysers make of them is only learnable by letting them run over them once, and excluding them up front would discard that answer along with the bulk of the repository. If the first run produces noise genuinely not worth reading, the exclusions go into `sonar-project.properties` with the finding they answer named next to them — not before.
+
+**Prerequisites**, both on the instance and neither in a file here: the repository **variable `SONAR_HOST_URL`** (a variable and not a secret on purpose — the server address is not a credential, and as a variable it stays readable in the log, which is what makes a wrong one diagnosable) and the **secret `SONAR_TOKEN`**, which reaches the block through `secrets: inherit`. The block guards both and names the setting and its place when one is empty. A *missing* `SONAR_TOKEN` never gets that far: the block declares it `required`, and a missing required secret fails job **creation** on this instance, so the run would show no steps at all — the same quirk as everywhere else here.
+
+**Three things about this path were unmeasured, and run 375 answered all three — positively.** `node24` **is** in the runner image, so the JavaScript scan action runs. The scanner download **gets through**: ~59 MiB of archive plus its signature in roughly three seconds, so the MTU failure that once killed a 17 MB download on this runner (see "What a GitHub runner had been providing quietly") does not repeat at five times the size. And a repository **variable does reach a workflow called from another repository** — the block's guard passed and the scanner started, which it could not have done without `vars.SONAR_HOST_URL` arriving. That last one also settles the identical question the publish route carried for `OP_CONNECT_HOST`: same forge version, same mechanism, a repository variable read inside a workflow called from another repository. What the publish route still has unproven is the upload itself, which has never run. `workflow_dispatch` stays on the hull for the retries: without it every attempt costs a dummy commit on `main`.

The same applies to non-standard values that look like mistakes: `satisfactory` keeps `limitFactor: 2` (that is what holds the memory limit at the published 8Gi) and `fsGroupChangePolicy: OnRootMismatch` (which avoids a recursive chown of multi-GB game files on every start).
+
+  **The sharpest case is a capability that is granted and never used.** `stalwart`'s fallback has to carry `capabilities.add: [NET_BIND_SERVICE]`, because the image sets `setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep` on its binary — which makes it a capability-dumb binary, and `capabilities(7)` then has the kernel fail the **`execve` itself** when the bounding set does not carry the capability: *"If the process did not obtain the full set of file permitted capabilities, then `execve(2)` fails with the error `EPERM`."* So `drop: [ALL]` with the standard empty `add` does not produce an unhardened container, it produces `exec /usr/local/bin/stalwart: operation not permitted` and a chart that cannot start. The capability is then spent entirely on the exec check and is never used to bind anything, which is exactly what makes it a magnet for a hardening pass looking for dead grants. This is why a deviation is documented with its **mechanism** and not only its name: "needed for binding" would have been wrong and would have invited the removal.
 
 **5. A probe default carries the probe's context, not just its timings.** Two different symptoms, both from real charts: `teamspeak-server` addresses its TCP port by the name `file-transfer` because the voice service is UDP and cannot be probed — a default without that name leaves the workload **with no working probe at all**. `patchmon` sends a `Host` header because the server answers **403** to any request whose Host is neither loopback nor a CORS_ORIGIN host — a default without it means the pod never becomes Ready. Port names, `Host` headers and `exec` commands belong in the fallback; where the context is dynamic, pass the root context in and rebuild it (patchmon derives the header from `ingress.domain`).

 Until `ytdlp-web-player` (#214) this section read "charts have no dependencies (`charts/` directories are empty)". That rule is gone, replaced by a bar rather than a ban — a dependency is **admissible, not free**, and the reason it stopped being a ban is worth keeping: the chart needed an oauth2-proxy in the data path in front of an application that ships no authentication at all, and proxy and app are only useful wired to each other.
 
+Three charts carry one, and comparing them is the quickest way to see where the bar sits. `ytdlp-web-player` takes **upstream's** `oauth2-proxy` because the app has no authentication and the two are useless apart; there, point 2 above applies in full. `stalwart` (Gitea #65) takes **one of our own published charts**, `valkey`, because Stalwart's **cluster coordinator rides on the in-memory store connection**, so a multi-node install does not work without one. `paperless-ngx` (Gitea #78) takes the same one, because `PAPERLESS_REDIS` is the Celery broker and the application therefore cannot run without a Redis at all — before the subchart, every installation needed a second Helm release whose address lived in a 1Password item and in neither chart. All three are `condition:`-gated and off by default: the subchart is the path for an installation that has no Valkey yet, and one that already has points its connection value at that instead, so the dependency renders nothing.
+
+**The same subchart, opposite configuration — and that comparison is the useful part.** `stalwart` runs it as a **cache** (`persistence.enabled: false` + `allkeys-lru`): its in-memory store holds rate-limiter counters, tokens and pub/sub, all reconstructible, and the cost it accepts is that the limiters fail open under memory pressure. `paperless-ngx` runs it as a **queue** (PVC + `noeviction`, the subchart's defaults): the broker's contents are work, and a dropped consume task is a document that is silently never processed. `allkeys-lru` would not be a trade there but actively wrong, because LRU evicts typeless across the whole keyspace and a backlog of waiting tasks is exactly what it reads as cold. The price `paperless-ngx` accepts instead: the same instance also serves the Django cache and the Celery result backend (both Redis in 3.x), so a full instance **refuses writes** — new tasks included — rather than dropping cold keys, and the answer is memory sizing, not a policy change. The valkey chart treats the two values as a **pair** and warns against mixing them; these two charts are the worked examples of picking either half deliberately.
+
+**A dependency on one of our own charts is cheaper in one way and more dangerous in another.** Point 2 stops applying: there are no third-party defaults to leave unpatched, because the subchart follows these guidelines by being one of ours. In exchange it adds a hazard an external dependency does not have, and it is sharp enough to be a rule:
+
+> **Never change a chart and a chart that depends on it in the same pull request.**
+
+The dependency resolves from the **published index**, not from the working tree, and a chart is published only by a push to `main` that touches it. So a combined PR runs every `helm` command — lint, package, render **and the install-test** — against the **old** subchart, goes green on an artifact that is not the one in the diff, and leaves the subchart's own change exercised by nothing. Two consecutive PRs: change the subchart, merge, let it publish, then raise the `version:` in the dependent chart.
+
+Two mechanical details of a self-referencing dependency, both measured for #65: the index is **anonymously readable**, so `ci/helm-dependencies.sh` needs no credential and resolves the exact build-metadata version (`1.0.0+up9.1.2.alpine`) from the URL alone with an empty `HELM_REPOSITORY_CONFIG` — the state a fresh runner is in. And Renovate's built-in `helmv3` manager does follow a self-hosted Gitea index: a dry run (Renovate 44.132.2) with the dependency pinned low reported `newVersion: "1.0.0+up9.1.2.alpine"`, `versioning: "helm"`, timestamp read from our index. Without that second result the published-version form would have had no update path at all, which is why it was measured rather than assumed.
+
+One more trap, and it is the reason `stalwart` gates its subchart on `valkeySubchart.enabled` rather than the conventional `valkey.enabled`: **everything under the subchart's key is handed to the subchart as its values**, so a `condition:` key placed there is validated against *its* schema. Our charts ship `additionalProperties: false`, so `valkey.enabled` is rejected by the subchart — and because Helm skips a **disabled** subchart's schema validation, the error surfaces only for whoever first switches it on. Put the condition on a key of the parent's own.
+
 **When a dependency earns its place.** All three, not two of three:
 
 1. The dependent piece would otherwise be a second Helm release that only exists to serve this one, with the wiring between them living in neither chart.

+#
+# It CANNOT prove a working mail server, and no install-test here could. Since
+# v0.16 every listener, the blob store, the in-memory store, the TLS object and
+# the cluster roles live in Stalwart's DATABASE and are created by a human in
+# the WebUI. Against an empty database there is no SMTP service to test, so a
+# green run says nothing about mail.
+#
+# What it DOES prove is the part that is the chart's own responsibility, and the
+# first item is the reason this chart is tested rather than excluded:
+#
+#   1. THE CONTAINER EXECS AT ALL. The image carries
+#      "setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep" on its binary, which makes the kernel
+#      fail execve itself when the capability is not in the bounding set. The
+#      first draft of this chart had capabilities.drop: [ALL] with nothing
+#      added and would have failed with "operation not permitted" in every
+#      install - caught by reading the Dockerfile, but exactly the class of
+#      failure an install-test exists to catch rather than reason about.
+#   2. readOnlyRootFilesystem: true holds with the two image volumes plus /tmp
+#      as emptyDirs, and the init container really can write config.json into
+#      the /etc/stalwart emptyDir.
+#   3. The rendered config.json parses AS STALWART READS IT, not just as JSON:
+#      the server opens the data store, which means "@type": "PostgreSql", the
+#      integer-millisecond timeout and the authSecret EnvironmentVariable
+#      indirection are all accepted. This is the one check that the password
+#      really arrives without ever being in the ConfigMap.
+#   4. The Secret key names match what the templates reference, the ConfigMap
+#      mount works, the NodePorts can be allocated, the resource quantities are
+#      valid, the schema accepts a realistic (non-default) values file, and the
+#      NetworkPolicy objects are accepted without cutting off the probes.
+#
+# RECOVERY MODE IS ON, and that is not a shortcut - it is the only mode that can
+# work here. The bootstrap wizard appears only when config.json is ABSENT, and
+# this chart always renders one; upstream's documented path for a templated
+# config.json is to start once with STALWART_RECOVERY_MODE=1. Recovery mode
+# brings up the management HTTP endpoint and keeps the mail ports closed, which
+# is precisely the reachable surface the probes use.
+#
+# THE ONE THING THIS FILE COULD NOT BE VERIFIED AGAINST: whether /healthz/live
+# and /healthz/ready are served on the RECOVERY listener. The source shows them
+# handled in the general HTTP request path with no auth and no network
+# restriction, but recovery mode binds a single listener and skips most config
+# parsing, and there is no cluster in the authoring environment to try it on.

-  https://{{ .Values.ingress.domain }}
-
-  The certificate is requested by cert-manager through the "{{ .Values.ingress.clusterIssuer }}"
-  cluster issuer. Until it has been issued the browser shows a warning; follow it with
-
-    kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} get certificate tls-{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-ingress
-{{- else }}
-
-ACCESS — NO INGRESS
-  ingress.enabled is false, so this release has no Ingress and no certificate,
-  and neither ingress.clusterIssuer nor ingress.domain is needed. ConvertX has
-  no base-URL setting of its own — it builds no absolute links — so nothing
-  outside the Ingress reads the domain in this chart.
-
-  Reach the release inside the cluster with
-
-    kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} port-forward svc/{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-service 8080:80
-
-  and open http://localhost:8080. Note that the session cookie is marked
-  "secure"{{ if eq $httpAllowed "true" }} — except that convertx.httpAllowed is true in this release, which
-  clears that flag, so logging in over plain http works{{ else }}, so logging in over plain http will NOT work: the browser
-  refuses to store the cookie. convertx.httpAllowed: true clears that flag{{ end }}.
-{{- end }}
-{{ if eq $replicas "0" }}
-SCALED TO ZERO
-  {{ if .Values.scaleDown }}scaleDown: true{{ else }}convertx.replicas: 0{{ end }} — the StatefulSet runs with replicas: 0, so the endpoint
-  above does not answer until you set it back and upgrade again. PVC, Secret{{ if .Values.ingress.enabled }},
-  Service and Ingress stay in place, so neither the conversions nor the
-  certificate are touched.{{ else }} and
-  Service stay in place, so the conversions on the PVC are untouched.{{ end }}
-{{ end }}
-WHOEVER OPENS THE PAGE FIRST BECOMES THE ADMINISTRATOR
-  A fresh ConvertX has no users, and with no users it serves a SETUP FORM to
-  every visitor — no password, no invitation, nothing to bypass. The first
-  account created that way owns the instance, and convertx.accountRegistration
-  does not gate it: that value decides whether accounts TWO and onwards can be
-  created, not the first one.
-
-  So on a fresh install, register yourself before the DNS name is reachable by
-  anyone else. There is no second chance and no "reset admin" command; the
-  repair is deleting the users row from the SQLite database on the PVC.
-{{- if eq $unauthenticated "true" }}
-
-  This release has convertx.allowUnauthenticated: true, so the point above is
-  moot in the worst way — see the warning further down.
-{{- end }}
-
-THE 1PASSWORD ITEM MUST CARRY THE FIELD THE CHART READS
-  secrets.jwtSecretRef points at
-    {{ .Values.secrets.jwtSecretRef }}
-  The 1Password operator materializes that item as the Kubernetes Secret
-  {{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-secret, with one Secret key per FIELD of the item. So the field
-  name is not free-form: this chart reads exactly one field, and it must be
-  spelled
-
-    jwt-secret       a long random string — openssl rand -hex 32
-
-  An item without it does not fail the install. The release goes through and
-  the pod then hangs in CreateContainerConfigError naming the key it could not
-  find. Watch the materialization with
-
-    kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} get onepassworditem {{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-secret
-    kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} get secret {{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-secret
-
-  WHY THIS VALUE IS REQUIRED RATHER THAN OPTIONAL: ConvertX signs its session
-  cookies with JWT_SECRET, and when the variable is unset it quietly generates
-  a random one PER PROCESS. Every restart — a node drain, an image update, an
-  OOM kill — would then invalidate every session, with no log line and no
-  error. Rotating the field has the same effect on purpose; after a rotation:
-
-    kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} rollout restart statefulset/{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-sfs
-
-  Editing the value INSIDE the item does not roll the pod by itself (Helm
-  never sees a secret's content). Pointing secrets.jwtSecretRef at a DIFFERENT
-  item does — the pod template carries a checksum over the rendered
-  OnePasswordItem.
-
-TWO SWITCHES THAT OPEN THE INSTANCE UP
-  convertx.accountRegistration    {{ $registration }}
-  convertx.allowUnauthenticated   {{ $unauthenticated }}
-
-  Upstream warns explicitly against enabling either on an instance reachable
-  from the internet, and this chart puts a public DNS name in front by
-  default. accountRegistration lets anyone with the URL create an account;
-  allowUnauthenticated removes the login entirely, so anyone who reaches the
-  Service can upload files and read every conversion on the volume.
-{{- if or (eq $registration "true") (eq $unauthenticated "true") }}
-
-  *** {{ if and (eq $registration "true") (eq $unauthenticated "true") }}BOTH OF THEM ARE ON{{ else }}ONE OF THEM IS ON{{ end }} IN THIS RELEASE. ***
-{{- if eq $unauthenticated "true" }}
-  convertx.allowUnauthenticated: true — there is no login. Anyone who can
-  reach {{ if .Values.ingress.enabled }}https://{{ .Values.ingress.domain }}{{ else }}the Service{{ end }} can use it and read other people's files.
-{{- end }}
-{{- if eq $registration "true" }}
-  convertx.accountRegistration: true — anyone with the URL can sign up.
-{{- end }}
-  If this instance is reachable from the internet, that is almost certainly
-  not what you wanted.
-{{- end }}
-
-RETENTION IS A VALUE, AND IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT EMPTIES THE VOLUME
-{{- if eq $autoDelete "0" }}
-  convertx.autoDeleteEveryNHours is 0 — THE CLEANUP IS OFF. Uploads and
-  converted output accumulate on the PVC for as long as the release lives and
-  nothing reclaims them. Watch the volume, or set a non-zero number of hours.
-{{- else }}
-  convertx.autoDeleteEveryNHours is {{ $autoDelete }} — ConvertX deletes the uploads and the
-  output of any job older than {{ $autoDelete }} hours. That is a hard delete, not an
-  archive: a conversion nobody downloaded in time is gone. Set it to 0 to
-  switch the cleanup off, and then size storage.amount for unbounded growth.
-{{- end }}
-
-STORAGE
-  {{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-pvc, {{ .Values.storage.amount }}, {{ if .Values.storage.storageClass }}storage class "{{ .Values.storage.storageClass }}"{{ else }}on the cluster's default storage class
-  (storage.storageClass is unset){{ end }}, mounted at /app/data.
-
-  Everything this release persists is on that one volume: the SQLite database
-  (users, jobs, file names), every uploaded file and every converted result.
-  There is no external database and no object storage, so one snapshot of the
-  PVC is a complete backup — and losing it loses the accounts along with the
-  files.
-
-  Because the PVC is rendered by the chart, helm uninstall deletes it and the
-  data with it, unless the storage class reclaim policy says otherwise.
-{{- if gt (int $replicas) 1 }}
-
-  convertx.replicas is {{ $replicas }}, and that does not work. The PVC is ReadWriteOnce, so
-  the extra pods normally stay Pending on "Multi-Attach error for volume"; on
-  a genuinely RWX storage class they would start and then corrupt the SQLite
-  database two processes are now writing. Set it back to 1.
-{{- end }}
-{{- if .Values.ingress.enabled }}
-
-THE INGRESS IS THE ONLY UPLOAD CEILING
-  ingress.maxUploadFileSize   {{ .Values.ingress.maxUploadFileSize }}
-
-  ConvertX enforces no size limit of its own — none, at any setting — so this
-  annotation is the whole story. A file above it never reaches the
-  application: the user gets the ingress controller's 413 page and nothing
-  appears in the pod log, which makes it look like a broken upload button
-  rather than a limit.
-
-  Raising it has a second cost: the upload lands on the PVC above, so a
-  ceiling far beyond storage.amount just moves the failure from a 413 to a
-  full volume.
-{{- else }}
-
-UPLOAD CEILING — NONE FROM THIS CHART
-  ingress.enabled is false, so the chart sets no body-size limit anywhere, and
-  ConvertX enforces none of its own. Whatever proxy you put in front brings
-  its ceiling with it — ingress-nginx defaults to 1m, small enough to look
-  like a broken upload button.
-{{- end }}
-
-WHAT A GREEN POD PROVES
-  All three probes are HTTP GETs against /healthcheck, which ConvertX answers
-  with a static 200 and no authentication. It touches neither the database nor
-  the volume, so a green pod proves the process is serving — not that a
-  conversion works and not that the volume is writable.
-
-  It is deliberately NOT "/": with the defaults of this chart "/" answers 302,
-  to /setup while no account exists and to /login afterwards. A probe would
-  pass on that redirect, and pass on a different one from day two onwards.
-
-  The startup probe grants {{ $startup.failureThreshold }} × {{ $startup.periodSeconds }}s = {{ mul $startup.failureThreshold $startup.periodSeconds }}s. That budget is generous because
-  ConvertX shells out to about twenty converter binaries at startup just to
-  log their versions.
-
-THE FIRST PULL IS SLOW, AND THAT IS NORMAL
-  The image is roughly 1.4 GiB compressed — LibreOffice, Calibre, ImageMagick,
-  ffmpeg, Inkscape and a TeX Live installation are all inside it. On a node
-  that has not seen it before, expect several minutes in ContainerCreating
-  before the startup probe budget above even begins. A pod that looks stuck
-  there is usually still pulling:
-
-    kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} describe pod {{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-sfs-0
-
-THIS CHART BYPASSES THE IMAGE ENTRYPOINT
-  The image runs as root and drops privileges itself; this chart starts the
-  application directly (command: bun run dist/src/index.js) as uid 1000, with
-  fsGroup doing what the entrypoint's chown would have done. PUID, PGID and
-  UMASK therefore configure NOTHING here — setting them through convertx.env
-  has no effect at all, and the uid belongs in convertx.securityContext.pod.
-
-  The cost to know about: if upstream moves real work into that entrypoint,
-  this chart skips it silently. Re-read the upstream entrypoint.sh at every
-  app-version update.
-{{- if .Values.convertx.env }}
-
-EXTRA ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES ARE ACTIVE
-  convertx.env adds {{ len .Values.convertx.env }} variable(s), rendered after the ones the chart sets
-  itself. Two warnings that go with that block:
-
-  - WEBROOT moves every route of the application, /healthcheck included, so
-    it breaks all three probes while the app is perfectly healthy — and this
-    chart's Ingress still maps "/". Do not set it here.
-  - An entry repeating a name the chart already sets is additive, not a
-    replacement. At install yours wins; on an EXISTING release Kubernetes
-    merges env by name and the chart's own value survives instead, while helm
-    upgrade still reports success. Read it back off the StatefulSet.
-{{- end }}
-{{- if .Values.ingress.enabled }}
-{{- with .Values.ingress.annotations }}
-
-EXTRA INGRESS ANNOTATIONS ARE ACTIVE
-{{- range $key, $value := . }}
-  {{ $key }}: {{ $value }}
-{{- end }}
-  These are merged with the cert-manager and proxy-body-size annotations the
-  chart always sets. Annotations are interpreted by the ingress controller, so
-  a misspelled key is silently ignored — it does not fail the render.

-  # THREE VARIABLES DO NOT BELONG HERE, and they fail in three different ways:

-  #               perfectly healthy - and this chart's Ingress still maps "/".
-  #               Serving under a sub-path needs the probe paths and the
-  #               Ingress path changed together; the chart does not do that
-  #               for you.
-  #   PUID/PGID   are read by the image entrypoint, which this chart bypasses
-  #   /UMASK      (see the command: override in the StatefulSet). They reach
-  #               nothing and configure nothing here. Set the uid through
-  #               securityContext.pod above, which is what actually applies.
-  #   PORT        the app would listen on it, but containerPort, the Service
-  #               and the probes all still name 3000. Moving the port means
-  #               moving all four, so the chart pins it instead.
-  #
-  # Additive means additive: an entry repeating a name the chart already sets
-  # does not replace it. At install the later entry - yours - wins; on an
-  # EXISTING release Kubernetes merges env by name, the pair collapses to the
-  # chart's own value, and helm upgrade still reports success. Read the value

+# The third chart in this repo with a dependency (after ytdlp-web-player and

+# clear and the full price list; what is repeated here is only what is specific
+# to THIS chart, because the generic half is already written down twice.
+#
+# WHY ONE HERE. paperless-ngx cannot run without a Redis: PAPERLESS_REDIS is
+# the Celery broker, and without it the web UI comes up looking healthy while
+# consumption, OCR, the scheduled tasks and the index updates never run. So
+# every installation needs one, and before this block the only way to have one
+# was a second Helm release whose address lived in a 1Password item and in
+# neither chart.
+#
+# WHY IT IS OFF BY DEFAULT: an installation that already has a Redis (or wants
+# a shared one, which is what secrets.redisSecretRef' key-prefix field exists
+# for) points redis-connection-url at it, and this dependency renders nothing.
+# The subchart is the path for an installation that has none.
+#
+# THE SUBCHART IS OUR OWN valkey CHART, resolved from the published index - not
+# upstream's. So README guideline 14.2 ("we consume their chart as it comes")
+# does not apply and there are no third-party defaults to leave unpatched: the
+# subchart follows this repo's conventions because it IS this repo's chart.
+# What does apply in full is the subchart being invisible to everything
+# downstream that watches Helm release versions, and the PR-ordering hazard

+THIS RELEASE BRINGS ITS OWN VALKEY — ONE MANDATORY STEP IS IN THE VAULT
+  valkeySubchart.enabled is true, so the release contains a Valkey of its own:
+  StatefulSet {{ .Release.Name }}-valkey-sfs, Service {{ $valkeySvc }}, its own
+  NetworkPolicy, and a PersistentVolumeClaim (persistence is on — this is a
+  queue, see below).
+
+  1. THE CONNECTION URL MUST POINT AT IT. This is a step, not a hint: the url
+     lives in the vault and the chart cannot write it. In the item
+     "{{ .Values.secrets.redisSecretRef }}", field redis-connection-url:
+
+       redis://:PASSWORD@{{ $valkeySvc }}:6379
+
+     Pointing elsewhere is not an error anywhere: paperless talks to that other
+     Redis, the Valkey next to it runs along unused, and nothing reports it.
+
+  2. THE PASSWORD IS IN THE ITEM TWICE — once inside redis-connection-url and
+     once in the "requirepass PASSWORD" line of auth-conf. Both are the same
+     password, and a rotation has to touch BOTH fields. Change only one and
+     paperless can no longer authenticate against its own Valkey. After any
+     such change, restart both workloads by hand (Helm cannot see inside a
+     1Password item, so nothing rolls automatically):
+
+       kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} rollout restart statefulset/{{ .Release.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Name }}-sfs
+       kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} rollout restart statefulset/{{ .Release.Name }}-valkey-sfs
+
+  3. AUTH-CONF IS A CONFIGURATION LINE, NOT A PASSWORD. The Valkey mounts the
+     field as a file and includes it, so the password never reaches a process
+     list or an environment variable. An init container refuses to start the
+     pod unless a line beginning with "requirepass " is really there — without
+     that check a typo would leave a Valkey running with NO password and
+     looking perfectly healthy.
+{{- if and $valkeyAuth (ne ($valkeyAuth | toString) ($.Values.secrets.redisSecretRef | toString)) }}
+
+  NOTE: valkey.secrets.authSecretRef points at a DIFFERENT item than
+  secrets.redisSecretRef:
+    valkey.secrets.authSecretRef → {{ $valkeyAuth }}
+    secrets.redisSecretRef       → {{ .Values.secrets.redisSecretRef }}
+  That is supported and may well be deliberate — the bundled Valkey is then fed
+  from its own item. It is only worth knowing that you now keep TWO items in
+  step: the password in auth-conf over there and the one inside
+  redis-connection-url here have to stay identical.
+{{- end }}
+
+  BOTH ITEMS' FIELDS LAND IN BOTH SECRETS. A OnePasswordItem materializes every
+  field of the item it names, so with one shared item the Valkey's Secret also
+  carries redis-connection-url and key-prefix, and this chart's redis Secret
+  also carries auth-conf. Untidy and harmless — nothing mounts a field it does
+  not reference. It is mentioned so it does not get "cleaned up".
+
+  IT IS CONFIGURED AS A QUEUE, and that is a decision: persistence on, eviction
+  policy "noeviction". PAPERLESS_REDIS is the Celery broker, so its contents are
+  work that must not vanish — "allkeys-lru" would evict across the whole
+  keyspace and a backlog of waiting tasks is exactly what LRU reads as cold.
+  The price: the same instance also serves the Django cache, so when it fills,
+  writes are REFUSED rather than old keys dropped — new tasks included. The
+  answer is to give it more memory (valkey.valkey.resources.requests.memory),
+  never to switch the policy. values.yaml argues this in full.
+
+  SCALEDOWN DOES NOT REACH IT. scaleDown: true scales paperless to zero and
+  leaves the Valkey running, which is the right way round for a queue: the
+  backlog stays where it is.

+  # be the subchart's own default, so the block below changes nothing. It is
+  # written out anyway, for two reasons: the subchart's persistence block is
+  # deliberately NOT null-safe (an erased one renders an invalid PVC), and the
+  # decision belongs where it is argued rather than one chart away. The
+  # eviction policy is NOT restated - valkey.maxmemoryPolicy stays at the
+  # subchart's "noeviction", which is the queue half of the pair. storageClass
+  # stays at the subchart default too (longhorn-encrypted-ns): queue payloads
+  # are the same documents that are in the database, so encrypted at rest.
+  #
+  # Read off the paperless-ngx 3.2.1 source (src/paperless/settings/__init__.py
+  # and settings/custom.py), not assumed: PAPERLESS_REDIS is ONE url, and
+  # parse_redis_url returns it twice for a TCP url, so one instance carries
+  # five consumers:
+  #
+  #   1. CELERY_BROKER_URL              - the queue: consume, OCR, index
+  #                                       updates, classifier training, the
+  #                                       scheduled tasks
+  #   2. CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND          - also Redis in 3.x (it was the
+  #                                       database before), CELERY_RESULT_EXPIRES
+  #                                       3600
+  #   3. CHANNEL_LAYERS                 - channels_redis.pubsub, expiry 15s;
+  #                                       pub/sub, not stored keys
+  #   4. CACHES["default"]              - Django cache, recomputable
+  #   5. CACHES["read-cache"]           - Cachalot DB read cache, TTL 3600,
+  #                                       off unless
+  #                                       PAPERLESS_DB_READ_CACHE_ENABLED
+  #
+  # WHY QUEUE: "allkeys-lru" would not be a trade here, it would be actively
+  # wrong. LRU evicts across the WHOLE keyspace with no regard for key type,
+  # and a backlog of waiting consume tasks is exactly what LRU reads as cold -
+  # written once, read later. So a cache configuration would preferentially
+  # throw away the work and keep the cache entries. A dropped consume or index
+  # task means a document that is silently never processed: the file stays in
+  # the consume directory although the directory watcher has already fired.
+  # And an evicted Celery result means a task that shows as "started" in the UI
+  # forever.
+  #
+  # THE CONFLICT THAT STAYS, stated rather than smoothed over: two of the five
+  # consumers are caches and they get the policy that does not suit them. When
+  # the instance fills, "noeviction" makes Valkey REFUSE WRITES - which hits
+  # cache writes and NEW TASKS alike, so paperless starts erroring instead of
+  # quietly degrading. That is the loud direction and therefore the right one,
+  # but it is a price and not a side effect, and the answer to it is to SIZE
+  # MEMORY for the working set, never to switch the policy. What makes the
+  # price small: all three cache-like consumers are TTL-bounded (15s, 3600s,
+  # 3600s), so they bound themselves and do not need eviction to stay in check,
+  # and the read cache is off by default.
+  persistence:
+    enabled: true
+    appendonly: true
+    # Sized for a task backlog and its results, not for documents - the
+    # documents are on paperless' own PVC. Grow it if a release regularly
+    # queues thousands of tasks (a PVC can grow, it can never shrink).
+    size: 1Gi
+
+  # networkPolicy and the Valkey resources are left at the subchart's defaults
+  # on purpose: its NetworkPolicy is on and allows the release's own namespace,
+  # which with a subchart is where paperless runs. allowedNamespaces only needs
+  # an entry when the two are in DIFFERENT namespaces, which a subchart rules
+  # out.
+
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# THE THREE TRAPS OF THE BUNDLED VALKEY - all three are operator work
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# 1. THE PASSWORD IS IN THE ITEM TWICE: inside redis-connection-url and again
+#    in the "requirepass" line of auth-conf. A rotation has to touch BOTH
+#    fields; touching one leaves a paperless that cannot authenticate against
+#    its own bundled Valkey. The alternative - assembling the url from parts -
+#    would break the secret contract of every running release (a major) and
+#    route the password through a template. Deliberately not chosen; the trap
+#    is named instead.
+#
+# 2. WITH THE SUBCHART ON, redis-connection-url MUST POINT AT THE SUBCHART:
+#        redis://:<password>@<release>-valkey-service:6379
+#    The name is determined and confirmed against the rendered output, but the
+#    url lives in the vault, so this is a MANDATORY STEP of the installation
+#    and not a hint. Left pointing at an external Redis, the bundled Valkey
+#    runs along unused and nothing says so. NOTES.txt prints the exact name for
+#    the release at hand.
+#
+# 3. A OnePasswordItem MATERIALIZES EVERY FIELD OF THE ITEM. With both CRs
+#    pointing at the same item, the Valkey Secret therefore also carries
+#    redis-connection-url and key-prefix, and this chart's redis Secret also
+#    carries auth-conf. Untidy, harmless, and written down here so nobody reads
+#    it as a leak or a bug and "tidies it up": the keys are unused, and no
+#    container mounts a field it does not reference.
+#
+# And one rule that is about this repository rather than about an installation:
+# changes to valkey/ must not share a pull request with changes to this chart.
+# Chart.yaml says why; README and the wiki's valkey page carry the long form.

+# The second chart in this repo with a dependency (after ytdlp-web-player).
+# README, "Chart dependencies", holds the bar it has to clear and the price;
+# both are restated here because the price is paid by whoever reads this file
+# next, not by whoever added the line.
+#
+# WHY ONE HERE. Stalwart's in-memory store is not a cache that can be dropped:
+# from v0.16 it also carries the cluster coordinator ("the Default variant
+# reuses the Redis connection already configured on the in-memory store"), so a
+# multi-node install does not work without it. Redis/Valkey is admissible as
+# the in-memory store ONLY - never as the data or blob store. Offering it inside
+# the chart means the wiring (host, port, egress rule) is in one place instead
+# of split across two releases that have to agree.
+#
+# WHY IT IS OFF BY DEFAULT: an installation that already runs a Valkey points
+# externalServices.valkey.host at it and this dependency renders nothing. The
+# subchart is the path for an installation that has none.
+#
+# THE SUBCHART IS OUR OWN valkey CHART, resolved from the published index -
+# NOT upstream's. So guideline 14.2 ("we consume their chart as it comes") does
+# not apply here and there is nothing of someone else's to leave unpatched: the
+# subchart follows this repo's conventions because it IS this repo's chart. What
+# does apply is everything about the subchart being invisible downstream, plus
+# one hazard that a self-referencing dependency adds and an external one does
+# not - see the PR-ordering warning below.
+dependencies:
+  - name: valkey
+    # KEEP THIS VERSION MOVING - it is the only path a Valkey update has.
+    #
+    # A subchart is invisible to everything downstream that watches Helm release
+    # versions: what this file declares is baked into our packaged .tgz, and
+    # Fleet only ever sees the version of "stalwart". So a new valkey chart - a
+    # security fix included - reaches a cluster ONLY when this line is raised
+    # and a new stalwart version is published. Nothing reports the gap.
+    #
+    # Renovate's BUILT-IN helmv3 manager reads this block and opens the PR (no
+    # customManagers entry exists or would help - repository and version sit
+    # together in one file, which is the case that manager is for), and
+    # ci/renovate-bump-chart.sh bumps this chart's patch version, which is what
+    # actually ships it. That chain is the whole safety net; switched off, this
+    # line needs a human on a calendar instead.
+    #
+    # MEASURED, not assumed, because the registry is self-hosted and the version
+    # carries build metadata - two things that could each have broken the chain
+    # silently. Renovate 44.132.2, dry run on 2026-10-02 with this dependency
+    # pinned at a lower version: manager helmv3 matched the file, took

+    #   newVersion: "1.0.0+up9.1.2.alpine", versioning: "helm"
+    # with the release timestamp read from our index. So both the self-hosted
+    # index and the "+up..." suffix are handled.

+#   - every helm command here - lint, package, render, AND the install-test -
+#     pulls the OLD valkey .tgz, because the new one does not exist yet;
+#   - the PR therefore goes green against a version of the subchart that is not
+#     the one in the diff, and the diff to valkey/ is reviewed while nothing
+#     actually exercised it;
+#   - after the merge both charts publish, and the first install of the new
+#     stalwart is the first time the new valkey is used anywhere.
+#
+# Two consecutive pull requests instead: change valkey/, merge, let it publish,
+# then raise the version here. The ordering is not a nicety - the green check on
+# the combined PR is a statement about the wrong artifact.

+
+THIS CHART CONFIGURES ALMOST NOTHING, AND THAT IS NOT A GAP
+  Since v0.16 Stalwart keeps its whole configuration inside the data store and
+  manages it over JMAP. The only file on disk is config.json, which names the
+  data store and nothing else. So this release has given you the workloads, the
+  Services, the NetworkPolicies, the Ingress and a certificate — but no
+  domains, no listeners, no blob store, no in-memory store and no cluster
+  roles. Those are the steps below, and without them this is not yet a mail
+  server.
+
+NODE GROUPS IN THIS RELEASE

+{{- end }}
+{{- if .Values.scaleDown }}
+
+  scaleDown: true — every group is at replicas 0 and nothing is running. The
+  Services, Ingress, Secrets and the Certificate stay in place, so setting it
+  back to false brings the release up without re-issuing the certificate.
+{{- end }}

+
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+RECOVERY MODE IS ON — THIS RELEASE SERVES NO MAIL
+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+  bootstrap.enabled is true, so every pod runs with STALWART_RECOVERY_MODE=1:
+  the management HTTP endpoint on {{ (index $ports "http").containerPort }} is the ONLY thing listening and
+  every mail port is closed. The Services and the Ingress look exactly as
+  healthy as they do in normal operation, which is why this banner exists.
+
+  This is correct for a first install (step 1 below). When the database is
+  provisioned, set bootstrap.enabled: false and upgrade again.

+
+THE 1PASSWORD ITEMS MUST CARRY THE FIELDS THIS CHART READS
+  One Secret key is created per FIELD of the item, and these templates
+  reference the keys by name — an item missing a field leaves the container in

+  one: Stalwart's secret resolver treats an empty environment variable as "not

+    ConfigMap.
+{{- else }}
+
+  secrets.dataStoreSecretRef is NOT SET, so no data store password reaches the
+  pods and config.json references an environment variable that will not exist.
+  Stalwart fails to open the store with
+    Environment variable '{{ include "stalwart.env.dbPassword" . }}' not found
+  Set it unless the database genuinely takes no password.

+    field:  recovery-admin    (the COMPLETE value "admin:<password>")
+    One field, not two. The upstream parser splits on the first ":" and drops
+    the entry when either half is empty, so a half-filled item would silently
+    mean "no recovery admin" instead of failing — and this credential logs in
+    regardless of directory state.
+
+    REMOVE IT WHEN YOU ARE DONE. It is a back door. Once a permanent
+    administrator exists in the database, set secrets.recoveryAdminSecretRef
+    to null and upgrade; the variable then disappears from the pods.
+{{- else }}
+
+  secrets.recoveryAdminSecretRef is NOT SET. That is the right end state once a

+  CHANGING WHAT IS INSIDE AN ITEM RESTARTS NOTHING. Helm never sees a secret's

+    kubectl -n {{ $.Release.Namespace }} rollout restart statefulset/{{ $release }}-{{ $group }}-sfs
+{{- end }}
+
+FIRST INSTALL — EIGHT STEPS, AND NONE OF THEM IS OPTIONAL
+  1. bootstrap.enabled: true, nodes.mx.replicas: 0.
+     The setup wizard everyone reaches for appears only when config.json is
+     ABSENT, and this chart always renders one — so the wizard never runs here.
+     Recovery mode is the documented path for a templated config.json: it
+     opens the management endpoint and keeps the mail ports shut. With a second
+     group running, the wizard would be unusable anyway: each request would
+     land on a random pod.
+
+  2. Open the management UI and create the permanent administrator.
+     kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} port-forward svc/{{ $release }}-{{ $ingressGroup | default "<group>" }}-http-service {{ (index $ports "http").containerPort }}:{{ (index $ports "http").containerPort }}
+     then http://localhost:{{ (index $ports "http").containerPort }}/admin
+
+  3. In the WebUI, create: the blob store (S3), the in-memory store
+     ({{ if $valkeyHost }}{{ $valkeyHost }}:{{ .Values.externalServices.valkey.port }}{{ else }}no address configured — see externalServices.valkey{{ end }}),
+     the coordinator (Default — it reuses the in-memory store connection), the
+     search store (Default — it uses the data store, so no extra service is
+     needed), the TLS object pointing at the certificate from step 5, the
+     NetworkListener objects, and one ClusterRole per node group below.
+
+     THE LISTENER PORTS MUST MATCH THIS RELEASE EXACTLY. The chart cannot
+     create listener objects, so these numbers are a second copy of a decision
+     made in the WebUI, and a mismatch is silent — the Service points at a port
+     nothing listens on, every pod stays Ready, nothing reports it:
+{{- range $portName, $port := $ports }}
+       {{ printf "%-12s" $portName }} bind {{ printf "%-5s" (printf "%v" $port.containerPort) }}{{ if $port.public }}  (published on node port {{ $port.nodePort }}){{ else }}  (not published){{ end }}
+{{- end }}
+
+     AND ONE ClusterRole PER GROUP, NAMED EXACTLY:
+{{- range $group, $spec := $nodes }}
+       {{ $group }}
+{{- end }}
+     A node whose role name is not in the database does not fail. It becomes a
+     FULL node — every listener and every task — while staying Running with a
+     green readiness probe. The only trace is one log line,
+     'Cluster role "<name>" not found in registry', and it is printed AFTER the
+     listeners are already bound.
+
+  4. Configure HTTP forwarding before the auto-ban notices the Ingress.
+     Stalwart sees the ingress controller's pod IP for every WebUI and JMAP
+     request, not the client's. Sooner or later the auto-ban bans that one
+     address and the WebUI and JMAP go dark for everyone at once. The PROXY
+     protocol is not the fix for HTTP: enable "forwarded" handling with
+     X-Forwarded-For evaluation, and discard forwarding headers the client
+     brought itself. The outage arrives weeks later and looks like a server
+     fault, which is why this is a step and not a tip.
+
+  5. Point the TLS object at the mounted certificate.
+{{- if .Values.certificate.enabled }}
+       certificate: {{ .Values.certificate.mountPath }}/tls.crt
+       privateKey:  {{ .Values.certificate.mountPath }}/tls.key
+     cert-manager writes these into tls-{{ $release }}-mail. Watch it with
+       kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} get certificate {{ $release }}-mail-certificate
+     Until it is issued the mail ports serve a self-signed certificate: the
+     volume is mounted optional so that a pending challenge does not hold every
+     pod in ContainerCreating.
+{{- else }}
+     certificate.enabled is false, so this chart issues no mail certificate.
+     The Ingress certificate does NOT cover the mail ports — the HA proxy
+     terminates no TLS, so Stalwart has to present one itself for STARTTLS on
+     25 and implicit TLS on 465/993. Provide it another way or clients will see
+     a name mismatch.
+{{- end }}
+
+  6. Set send-proxy-v2 on the HA proxy. ALL OR NOTHING WITH STEP 3.
+     externalTrafficPolicy is {{ .Values.service.externalTrafficPolicy }}, which it has to be — no Stalwart
+     pod runs on a control-plane node, and the HA proxy delivers to the
+     control-plane nodes, so Local would drop every packet. The cost is that
+     kube-proxy masquerades the source address, and on a mail server a lost
+     source address switches off SPF, takes DMARC with it, makes every
+     blocklist report "clean", collapses per-IP rate limits onto one address,
+     removes greylisting's key, and makes the auto-ban lock out every sender at
+     once. The Received: chain becomes worthless — the one item there that
+     destroys evidence retroactively rather than just failing.
+
+     The PROXY v2 header restores it, for port 25 as well, because the HA proxy
+     opens its own connection to the node. But a trusted network makes the
+     header MANDATORY: without it a connection from there hangs until timeout,
+     and with it from an untrusted network Stalwart reads "PROXY TCP4 ..." as
+     an SMTP command. Test on a spare port with its own frontend, and move 25
+     only once a Received: line shows the real sender address.
+
+  7. Restart the pods — "a newly added listener binds only on the next start" —
+     and set bootstrap.enabled: false in the same round.
+
+  8. Raise nodes.mx.replicas only after the "mx" ClusterRole exists (step 3),
+     and publish DNS (below).
+
+DNS A MAIL SERVER CANNOT RUN WITHOUT
+  None of this is rendered by the chart; all of it is required.
+    MX          {{ .Values.ingress.domain | default "<your mail domain>" }}.            →  this deployment's public name
+    SPF         TXT "v=spf1 ..." naming the HA proxy's address as a sender
+    DKIM        TXT at <selector>._domainkey — the key is generated IN Stalwart
+                (Domains → DKIM), so this record is published after step 3
+    DMARC       TXT at _dmarc — start at p=none with rua= and tighten only once
+                the reports are clean
+    REVERSE DNS PTR for the HA PROXY's public address, matching its forward
+                name. Not the node's and not the pod's: the HA proxy is what
+                other mail servers see connecting. Many receivers reject mail
+                outright when it is missing, and nothing in Kubernetes can set
+                it — it belongs to whoever owns the IP range.
+
+WHAT A GREEN POD PROVES HERE, AND WHAT IT DOES NOT
+  Liveness asks /healthz/live, readiness and startup ask /healthz/ready.
+  Read off the source at v0.16.24: /healthz/ready returns 200 as soon as a data
+  store HANDLE exists — it does not query the database. So Ready does not mean
+  the database is reachable, and it does not catch a pod that fell back to an
+  ephemeral in-memory store because config.json was missing. A green pod here
+  means the process is answering HTTP.
+
+  The probe intervals are calculated, not chosen: Stalwart rate-limits
+  anonymous /healthz requests to 100 per 60s PER SOURCE IP, probes arrive from
+  the node IP, and so every pod on a node shares one bucket. The defaults cost
+  6 requests/min/pod and leave room for about 16 pods per node. Tightening them
+  produces 429s, and a 429 on liveness is a restart loop.
+{{- if .Values.ingress.enabled }}
+
+WEB UI AND JMAP
+  https://{{ .Values.ingress.domain }}  →  node group "{{ $ingressGroup }}"
+  Certificate requested by cert-manager through the "{{ .Values.ingress.clusterIssuer }}" cluster issuer:
+    kubectl -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} get certificate tls-{{ $release }}-ingress
+
+  AFTER BOOTSTRAP, PORT {{ (index $ports "http").containerPort }} IS NOT THE ADMIN PORT ANY MORE. Upstream moves
+  administration to https://<hostname>/admin once setup is complete, so this
+  Ingress only works while an HTTP NetworkListener on {{ (index $ports "http").containerPort }} exists in the
+  database (step 3). Between finishing setup and creating that listener the
+  Ingress resolves to a port that answers nothing.
+{{- else }}
+
+NO INGRESS

+

+
+    not a bare password. The valkey chart mounts the file and includes it, and

+
+    The cost of allkeys-lru, so it is not a surprise: under memory pressure keys
+    are discarded, so the rate limiters and the auto-ban FAIL OPEN. Size memory
+    for the working set rather than switching to noeviction — with noeviction
+    Stalwart's writes to the store start erroring, which takes out
+    authentication instead of just the limits.
+
+  scaleDown and checksum/config stop at the subchart boundary, so scaling this

+  reaches you only when stalwart itself is republished.

+materializes one Secret key per FIELD of the item, and these templates mount or
+reference those keys by name. An item without the expected field leaves the
+container in CreateContainerConfigError. NOTES.txt lists them for the installer.
+
+AND THE LIMIT THAT CANNOT BE CLOSED: a change to the CONTENT of any of these
+items does not restart anything. Helm never sees a secret's value - the
+operator fills the Secret in-cluster after rendering - so there is nothing to
+hash. What this chart does cover is the op:// PATH, through checksum/secret-ref
+on the pod template (see the StatefulSet): repointing one of the values below
+at a different vault item does roll the pods. For a content change, and after
+rotating a password inside the item, the manual step is
+  kubectl -n <ns> rollout restart statefulset/<release>-stalwart-<group>-sfs
+for every group. The 1Password operator's auto-restart annotation is NOT set
+here and must not be: verified against operator 1.12.0 it enumerates
+Deployments only, so on a StatefulSet it is a silent no-op that advertises a
+guarantee it does not provide (README, guideline 9).

+Three kinds of Service, and the split is forced rather than stylistic.

+1. ONE NodePort Service PER PUBLIC PORT, not per node group. A NodePort is
+   unique across the whole cluster, so "full" and "mx" can only accept SMTP
+   behind the SAME Service object - two Services asking for 30025 is a
+   conflict. Hence the selector matches a per-port LABEL on the pods instead
+   of a node group, which lets one Service cover every group that lists the
+   port and still exclude the ones that do not.
+
+   Putting all the ports into one Service does not work either: a Service has
+   exactly one selector, so 30993 would then be routed to "mx" pods as well,
+   where nothing is listening.
+
+2. ONE ClusterIP http Service PER NODE GROUP. The Ingress must reach exactly
+   one group (ingress.nodeGroup): the management surface is not safe to spread
+   across a group that may not run the management tasks, and a port-label
+   selector would send each request to a random group. So http gets a
+   per-group Service and the Ingress names one of them.

+# Stalwart — a cluster-capable mail server (SMTP, IMAP, POP3, JMAP, ManageSieve).
+#
+# READ THIS FIRST: THIS CHART CONFIGURES ALMOST NOTHING.
+#
+# Since v0.16 Stalwart keeps its entire configuration — over 2400 settings in
+# 117 object types, including every listener, the blob store, the in-memory
+# store, TLS objects, domains and the cluster roles — INSIDE the data store,
+# managed over the JMAP API (WebUI or stalwart-cli). The only thing left on
+# disk is a small config.json that names the data store and nothing else:
+# "It only needs to contain the DataStore object"
+# (https://stalw.art/docs/configuration/declarative-deployments).
+#
+# So this chart renders config.json, the workloads with their STALWART_ROLE,
+# the Services, the NetworkPolicies, the Ingress and a cert-manager
+# Certificate. Everything else is operator work in the WebUI, and the values
+# below say for each block whether it configures Stalwart or only Kubernetes.
+# A value that only describes something to Kubernetes is marked as such rather
+# than left to look like application configuration.
+
+# Scale the whole chart down without uninstalling it: scaleDown: true renders
+# every StatefulSet with replicas: 0 and takes precedence over every
+# nodes.<group>.replicas. Services, Ingress, Secrets and the Certificate stay
+# in place, so no certificate is re-issued when you scale back up.
+scaleDown: false
+
+# Chart-wide default for the limit factor of every node group. A group may

+  #
+  # Why it is worth pinning at all: without it Stalwart generates a temporary
+  # administrator password on every bootstrap or recovery start and prints it to

+  #
+  # The documented path for exactly this case is recovery mode: "template

+#
+# Every listener Stalwart binds is a NetworkListener object in the database.
+# This chart cannot create those objects, so containerPort here is a second
+# copy of a decision that is really made in the WebUI. If the two disagree, the
+# Service points at a port nothing listens on: connections are refused or time
+# out, every pod stays Ready, and no object reports a problem. Check both sides
+# whenever you touch one.
+#
+# TWO NUMBERS PER ENTRY, AND THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE:
+#   containerPort — what the application binds inside the pod, and what the
+#                   NetworkListener object in the database must say.
+#   nodePort      — what the cluster publishes on every node, and what the HA
+#                   proxy in front of the cluster connects to.
+# The Service maps one onto the other: nodePort 30025 -> targetPort 25.
+#
+# WHY THE APPLICATION BINDS THE ORDINARY 25/465/993. An earlier draft had it
+# bind 30025/30465/30993 so that nothing privileged was ever bound and the
+# NET_BIND_SERVICE capability could be dropped. That reasoning collapsed: the
+# image ships "setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep" on the binary, which makes it a
+# capability-dumb binary, and the kernel then fails the execve ITSELF when the
+# bounding set does not carry the capability — before the program binds
+# anything. The capability has to be granted either way (see securityContext
+# below), so high ports bought no hardening at all. What the ordinary numbers
+# buy instead is predictability: the listener objects an operator creates in
+# the WebUI carry the numbers from every page of Stalwart's documentation and
+# from the image's own EXPOSE list, which takes most of the surprise out of the
+# duplication above.
+#
+# The nodePorts must be inside the API server's --service-node-port-range
+# (default 30000-32767). 30025/30465/30993 are, with the default — UNVERIFIED
+# against this cluster's actual setting.
+#
+# Only these three plus HTTP are published. 587, 143, 110, 995 and 4190 are
+# deliberately absent and can be added later without a breaking change: add an

+  #
+  # The price of Cluster is that kube-proxy masquerades the source address to

+  # Received: chain becomes worthless, which is the one item on that list that
+  # destroys evidence retroactively instead of just failing.
+  #
+  # What pays that price back is the PROXY protocol, and only because of this
+  # topology: the HA proxy terminates the inbound connection and opens its OWN
+  # to the node, so it can prepend a PROXY v2 header on that connection — for
+  # port 25 as well, where no remote mail server would ever send one. The real

+    # drop: [ALL] empties the bounding set, so the capability cannot be

+    #   exec /usr/local/bin/stalwart: operation not permitted

+    # the -alpine image carries the identical setcap, and the
+    # net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start sysctl addresses binding rather than
+    # exec.
+    #
+    # AND THE SECOND HALF, WHICH IS WHY THIS LINE MUST NOT BE "CLEANED UP":
+    # THE CAPABILITY IS NEVER ACTUALLY USED. It is spent entirely on satisfying

+    # kubelet sets net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=0 in the pod network
+    # namespace, so a non-root container binds low ports regardless (measured
+    # in k3d for template-chart, see its ports comment). So a hardening pass
+    # that greps for "a capability nobody uses" will find exactly this one and
+    # removing it stops the chart from starting at all. Do not remove it
+    # without first checking whether upstream still sets the file capability;
+    # the day that setcap disappears from Dockerfile.build is the day this
+    # deviation can go with it.

+# THE INTERVALS ARE CALCULATED, NOT TASTE. DO NOT TIGHTEN THEM WITHOUT REDOING
+# THE ARITHMETIC BELOW.
+#
+# Stalwart applies an anonymous HTTP rate limit to /healthz as to everything
+# else, and its default is 100 requests per 60 seconds KEYED ON THE SOURCE IP
+# (registry default rate_limit_anonymous: count 100, period 60000ms). Kubelet
+# probes arrive from the IP of the NODE running the pod, not from the pod, so
+# every Stalwart pod on one node draws from the SAME bucket. Exceeding it
+# returns 429, a 429 fails the probe, and failing liveness restarts the pod —
+# a self-inflicted restart loop that gets worse the more pods a node holds.
+#
+# The budget per pod, with the values below:
+#   steady state   liveness 60/20 = 3/min  +  readiness 60/20 = 3/min  = 6/min
+#   while starting startup   60/10 = 6/min                             = 6/min
+# The startup probe GATES liveness and readiness, so the three never run at
+# once and 6 requests/min/pod is the worst case in both phases. Against a
+# 100/60s bucket that leaves room for about 16 Stalwart pods per node before
+# the limit is in sight.
+#
+# For comparison, the obvious 10/10/5 defaults would cost 12/min/pod in steady
+# state and allow only about 8 pods per node — which is not far from a
+# plausible deployment. That is the whole reason these numbers are 20/20/10.
+#
+# What the wider intervals cost, stated so the trade is visible: up to 20s
+# before unreadiness removes a pod from its Services, and up to 60s
+# (3 x 20s) before a hung pod is restarted. For a mail server both are
+# acceptable — SMTP senders retry for days.
+#
+# WHY HTTP AND NOT A tcpSocket READINESS PROBE. A tcpSocket probe on the mail
+# port would bypass the bucket entirely, and it was considered for exactly that
+# reason. It is rejected on three grounds, none of them about convenience:
+#   1. It would be GREEN in precisely the failure this chart is built to
+#      contain. A node that fail-opens (its ClusterRole missing from the
+#      database) binds every listener, so a TCP connect to 25 succeeds on a
+#      broken "mx" node just as it does on a healthy "full" one.
+#   2. It proves strictly less. A TCP accept says a socket is bound;
+#      /healthz/ready additionally says the server reached the point where a
+#      data store handle exists at all.
+#   3. It would have to differ per node group (the "mx" group has no 465 or
+#      993), so the fallback default in _helpers.tpl could no longer carry the
+#      probe's context — the failure mode guideline 12.5 exists for.
+# If a node ever does need to carry more than ~16 pods, the right move is to
+# raise the limit on the server (the allow-list bypasses the limiter outright
+# for listed addresses) rather than to blind the probes.
+#
+# WHAT THESE PROVE, AND WHAT THEY DO NOT — three honest limits:
+#   - Liveness is deliberately on /healthz/live so a Postgres outage cannot
+#     restart every pod in the cluster at once; the restart would fix nothing
+#     and would drop every connection in flight (guideline 12.3).
+#   - /healthz/ready DOES NOT QUERY THE DATABASE. Read from the source at
+#     v0.16.24: it returns 200 iff the data store handle is not Store::None.
+#     So readiness here does not hang on the dependency the way guideline 12.3
+#     asks, and it cannot — the endpoint upstream offers is shallow. Named
+#     rather than papered over, because a green pod proves less than it looks.
+#   - It also does not catch the missing-config.json trap (a server that fell
+#     back to an ephemeral in-memory store still has a data store handle).
+#
+# NOT VERIFIED AGAINST A RUNNING SERVER: whether /healthz answers a plain
+# kubelet probe at all. The source shows no auth, no loopback check and no
+# trusted-network restriction, but the request still passes the configurable
+# Http.allowedEndpoints expression (default "200", i.e. everything allowed) —
+# and its loopback escape hatch does NOT cover a node IP, so an operator who
+# later writes a restrictive expression breaks every probe. The image's own
+# healthcheck sends "X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1", which is how it puts itself
+# in the loopback rate-limit bucket; that only has an effect when
+# Http.useXForwarded is on, and it is off by default.
