  #
  # This chart is the documented ingress exception (README): it keeps upstream's
  # flexible host list rather than the repository's required
  # domain/clusterIssuer pair, and that exception stays. The consequence for
  # Gitea #114 is that httpRoute has NO hostnames key - a chart-global hostname
  # list could not say which host entry, and therefore which set of paths, it
  # belonged to. So this list is where the hostnames live in BOTH modes, and in
  # Gateway mode the chart renders ONE HTTPRoute PER ENTRY, with one rule per
  # path of that entry.
  #
  # pathType IN GATEWAY MODE, because the default below is the awkward value.
  # Ingress has Exact, Prefix and ImplementationSpecific; the Gateway API has
  # Exact, PathPrefix and RegularExpression. Exact and Prefix map cleanly.
  # ImplementationSpecific means "ask the controller" and has NO counterpart,
  # so:
  #   - on the path "/" it is rendered as PathPrefix (every controller treats a
  #     root ImplementationSpecific path as a prefix match, so the default
  #     below works in Gateway mode unchanged);
  #   - on ANY OTHER path the render ABORTS and asks you to say which you mean.
  #     In ingress-nginx an ImplementationSpecific sub-path is a REGEX and
  #     PathPrefix is not one, so mapping it silently would change how the path
  #     matches while the render stayed green.
  # RegularExpression is deliberately not offered: its support level is
  # Implementation-specific and would bind this chart to one Gateway
  # implementation.

# THE GATEWAY-API ALTERNATIVE TO THE INGRESS (Gitea #114).
#
# Mutually exclusive with ingress.enabled - the render aborts when both are
# true. The chart renders ONLY HTTPRoutes with parentRefs: no Gateway, no
# class, no Certificate, and no implementation-specific policy object. Class
# and certificate sit on the Gateway and its listeners and belong to the
# platform (cluster-config), which is what keeps the Gateway implementation
# replaceable without touching this chart again.
#
# TWO KEYS ONLY, and the missing third one is deliberate: there is no
# httpRoute.hostnames here, because this chart has no ingress.domain either.
# The hostnames and the paths come from ingress.hosts above - see the comment
# there, including the pathType mapping. This is the freesailarr shape from
# group 2 of the sweep, for the same reason.
#
# ONE HTTPRoute PER ENTRY of ingress.hosts, named
# <release>-homeassistant-httproute for the first and ...-httproute-<index> for
# the rest. REORDERING ingress.hosts RENAMES ROUTES and so deletes and
# recreates them on the next upgrade instead of editing them - harmless,
# because a route holds no state and no certificate, but worth knowing before
# it looks like a bug.
#
# THE GATEWAY-API CRDs MUST BE PRESENT. The chart cannot detect them
# (.Capabilities.APIVersions is unreliable at template time) and an HTTPRoute
# without them fails at install, so this is a value and not a guess.

# Everything else is hardened: no privilege escalation, all capabilities
# dropped and a read-only root filesystem with writable emptyDirs for
# /tmp and /run (s6-overlay state). NET_RAW is added back because Home
# Assistant's device discovery (DHCP watcher, ping/arp integrations) uses

# Must include the following keys:
# - config
# - http-config
# - recorder-config
#
# Changing the op:// path below IS covered: the StatefulSet carries a
# checksum/secret-ref annotation over the rendered OnePasswordItem, so pointing
# this value at a different vault item restarts the pod.
#
# Known limitation (#82): changing the CONTENT of that item in the vault does
# NOT restart Home Assistant. The operator updates the Kubernetes Secret, but
# the running pod keeps the old files - they are mounted with subPath, which the
# kubelet never refreshes, and Home Assistant reads its configuration only at
# start. The change then takes effect at some unrelated later restart, possibly
# months afterwards, and a broken value surfaces long after the edit that caused
# it. That is especially likely for this release, which is currently kept at
# zero replicas via scaleDown: whoever brings it back up gets whatever the vault
# holds at that moment.
#
# The checksum/config mechanism the other charts use cannot close this gap:
# Helm never sees the content (the operator fills the Secret in-cluster after
# rendering), so there is nothing to hash. The operator's own
# "operator.1password.io/auto-restart" annotation does not close it either - it
# only ever restarts Deployments, never StatefulSets. Verified against
# onepassword-operator 1.12.0: pkg/onepassword/secret_update_handler.go lists
# exactly one workload type (appsv1.DeploymentList), and the PR adding
# StatefulSets is still open. Setting the annotation here would look like a fix
# and do nothing, so this chart deliberately does not set it.
#
# After changing the item, restart Home Assistant by hand:
#   kubectl rollout restart statefulset <release>-homeassistant-sfs

networkPolicy:
  # WHAT THIS POLICY ALLOWS: inbound 8123 only. THERE IS NO EGRESS SECTION, and
  # that is the decision in this chart rather than an omission.
  #
  # Home Assistant's outbound traffic is the union of every integration enabled
  # in a release: mDNS/SSDP discovery (5353/UDP, 1900/UDP), MQTT (1883/8883), a
  # Zigbee or Z-Wave bridge on whatever port its firmware chose, ESPHome (6053),
  # printers, speakers, TVs, inverters, cloud APIs on 443, NTP on 123/UDP. A
  # chart cannot know that set, a cap would protect little - the devices sit on
  # the node's own LAN - and it would break integrations one at a time, months
  # apart, each looking like a flaky device rather than like a policy. So
  # policyTypes names Ingress only, for the same reason valkey names Ingress
  # only: a rule that has to be widened until it permits everything makes the
  # object look stricter than it is.
  #
  # An installation that wants an egress cap should write one against its own
  # integrations, at release level, where they are visible.
  #
  # Inbound 8123 is not restricted by source in the default (probe port), 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
  # matches nothing and is silently ineffective. Note the granularity: an entry
  # opens the port to EVERY pod in that namespace.
  allowedNamespaces: []
  # Source CIDRs allowed to reach port 8123, which is the port all three probes address.
  #
  # EMPTY MEANS OPEN, NOT BLOCKED. With no entry that rule is rendered WITHOUT a
  # "from" selector, so the port is reachable from anywhere the CNI routes to -
  # 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 and allowedNamespaces to the same rule for exactly that reason.

  #   networkPolicy.ingressController  the SOURCE SELECTOR for the ingress
  #                                    controller's pods. A SIBLING of this block

    # Opens the pod for Istio's ambient mesh (Gitea #143). OFF by default and
    # additive: while it is false this chart renders byte for byte as it did
    # before the value existed.
    #
    # IT RENDERS TWO THINGS, and that they come together is the point:
    #
    #   1. 15008/TCP inbound - ztunnel's HBONE tunnel. Every inbound mesh
    #      connection arrives on it, and ambient "does not and will never bypass
    #      Kubernetes NetworkPolicy enforcement", so without this port a pod
    #      whose namespace has joined the mesh is unreachable.
    #   2. 169.254.7.127/32 as an additional peer - but ONLY where the rule
    #      restricts sources at all, which here means probeSources is non-empty.
    #      Inside the mesh the kubelet's probes are redirected and no longer come
    #      from the worker node's address.
    #
    # WHY ONE SWITCH AND NOT TWO: point 2 is the one nobody thinks of. Whoever
    # adds "15008" to a port list by hand writes a policy that passes review, and
    # the first time probeSources is narrowed every probe is dropped - the pod
    # never becomes Ready and the symptom reads as a broken application rather
    # than as a policy. A switch whose halves can only be had together cannot be
    # set halfway, which is why this is a named intention and not a port list.
    #
    # TWO THINGS IT DOES NOT PROVE:
    #   - That 15008 alone is enough. That comes from Istio's documentation;
    #     measured on this cluster is only which listeners ztunnel opens.
    #     Provable at the first namespace to join the mesh - none carries
    #     istio.io/dataplane-mode yet.
    #   - That the probe-source half works. probeSources is empty in every chart
    #     here, so no release reaches that branch. CI proves its render, not its
    #     effect.
    #
    # Note where the port lands: it joins the rule that carries the probe port,
    # so once probeSources restricts that rule, 15008 is restricted with it.
    # Whether ztunnel needs a peer of its own is open - it runs with its own pod
    # IPs in istio-system (measured: no hostNetwork on the DaemonSet, Istio
    # 1.30.6), so if one proves necessary it is expressible as a
    # namespaceSelector plus podSelector and needs no unknowable node CIDR.
