jklein 7e6b3beed5 rss-bridge: pin the unprivileged-port sysctl, quote env values
Follow-up to the template-chart hardening fixes in #133, which landed
while this branch was open.

The env block now quotes names, values and keyRef fields. Without it a
value like "5" renders as a YAML number and the API server rejects the
whole manifest. RSS-Bridge takes numeric settings that way
(RSSBRIDGE_http_timeout), so this was reachable with the first env entry
anyone adds.

The port-80 question is settled by measurement rather than by the
"it works in k3d" reasoning #133 warns about. Same pod spec in k3d
(k3s v1.35.5), only ip_unprivileged_port_start changed:

  1024, capabilities.drop [ALL]      nginx: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed
                                     (13: Permission denied)
  1024, plus NET_BIND_SERVICE        identical failure - for a non-root
                                     process the capability lands in the
                                     permitted but not the effective
                                     set, so it buys nothing
  0                                  binds, HTTP 200

So the chart cannot buy safety with a capability the way samba does, and
port 80 is not negotiable either: nginx is configured for it inside the
image and the entrypoint's only lever is a sed against a read-only
/etc/nginx. What it can do is stop depending on the node default - the
pod securityContext now pins the sysctl to 0, so the bind no longer
relies on cluster configuration. Verified: the chart-installed pod
reports 0 and answers 200 through the Service.

Worth recording how that failure looks without probes: the entrypoint
backgrounds nginx and then execs php-fpm, so a failed bind leaves a
container reporting Running with no web server at all. Both test pods
above were Running. The probes on /?action=health are what turn it into
a pod that never becomes Ready.

trivy config still reports 0 to act on; the KSV-0117 statement is
updated to the measured reasoning.

{{/*
Render the body of a container "resources:" block from a values dict of the form
resources:
limitFactor: 3 # optional, default 3
requests: { cpu, memory, ephemeral-storage / ephemeralStorage, ... }
limits: { ... } # optional, every entry optional
Rules (variant B, see issue #19):
- requests are rendered as given (camelCase "ephemeralStorage" is normalized
to the Kubernetes key "ephemeral-storage").
- an explicitly set limit always wins.
- a missing memory / ephemeral-storage limit is computed as
limitFactor x the corresponding request.
- a missing cpu limit is NOT set at all (the kubelet then treats CPU as
unlimited; CPU is compressible, so this cannot kill the workload).
NOTE: charts in this repo deliberately have no dependencies, so this helper is
duplicated into every chart's templates/_helpers.tpl with the chart's name as
define prefix. template-chart holds the reference implementation.

Merge a user-supplied values sub-tree onto a dict of chart defaults so that a
null / empty override falls back to the defaults instead of erasing them.
Input: dict "defaults" <dict> "given" <dict|nil> "path" <string, optional
values path used in error messages>. Output: YAML of the merged dict (consume
it with fromYaml).
Why this exists (issues #61 and #99): Helm merges values maps recursively, but
an override key written without children - e.g. a leftover
securityContext:
after deleting its last remaining sub-key - is YAML null. Where the chart
defines a default, Helm treats that null as a deletion of the default; the
template then renders "securityContext: null": no readOnlyRootFilesystem, no
dropped capabilities, no allowPrivilegeEscalation: false. The workload starts
and reports healthy while being unhardened, so nothing points at the mistake.
The same shape erases a probe (it disappears) or the resources block (no
requests, no computed limits). This helper defines the opposite semantics: an
empty block means "chart defaults apply".
Rules:
- a nil "given" is treated as an empty dict (all defaults apply).
- a key whose override value is null keeps the default (nulls never delete).
- a key present in both as a map is merged recursively, so a partially
filled block only overrides the keys it actually sets.
- a scalar override for a key the defaults define as a map is rejected with
a message naming the values path, instead of failing later with a template
field error.
- any other set value wins as given, including an explicit false or 0 -
Helm's "default" and sprig's "mergeOverwrite" would both swallow those
zero values, hence the explicit kindIs "invalid" nil check.
- keys only present in the override are passed through unchanged.

The effective security contexts, probes and resources (issue #99).
The defaults below MUST stay in sync with the corresponding blocks in
values.yaml, which stays the documented, user-facing place for them; this copy
is only the fallback for the case where an override has erased the block.
Two chart-specific facts a rebuilt default must not lose:
- uid/gid 33 (www-data) is not a stylistic choice. The image ships /app and
everything in it owned by www-data, and both nginx and php-fpm are
configured for that user. A "cleaner" high uid would leave the app unable
to read its own bridge sources.
- the ip_unprivileged_port_start sysctl is what lets a non-root nginx bind
port 80, and this chart has no choice about that port - see the comment on
it in values.yaml. Dropping it from a rebuilt default does not fail at
render time; it fails on the first node whose default differs.
- the probes address the port BY NAME (rss-bridge-port) and use the app's
own health action. A default that drops the query string would probe the
1.5 MB front page instead of a 49-byte JSON response, and a default that
drops the port name would not resolve at all.
