jklein 3fa67d55ef rss-bridge: new chart
Takes over the four loose manifests in cluster-config/rss-bridge/ as a
proper chart, on the current template-chart standard: strict values
schema, null-safe helpers, computed limits, replicas/scaleDown,
checksum/config, NOTES.txt.

Two things deviate from the repo standard on purpose:

- The Ingress models host AND TLS secret name per entry instead of the
  single conventional tls-<release>-<chart>-ingress. The installation
  this replaces has grown three separate certificates, one per host.
  Renaming them would make cert-manager issue three new ones and leave
  each host unreachable until it did - a self-inflicted outage on a
  deployment that has been up for over a year. Entries sharing a secret
  name are grouped into one tls entry, and omitting the name falls back
  to the convention, so consolidating later is a values change.

- Requests and limits are decoupled. The old manifest requested 2Gi of
  ephemeral storage, identical to its limit, reserving two gigabytes for
  a workload measured at 2.2 MB after fetching all five whitelisted
  bridges. The request drops to 64Mi; the limit stays at 2Gi.

Hardening was verified rather than assumed. The image ships no USER and
runs as root by default, but runs fully hardened once its writable paths
are provided: uid/gid 33, readOnlyRootFilesystem, all capabilities
dropped, seccompProfile RuntimeDefault. The writable paths were found by
running the image with a writable rootfs, exercising every bridge and
reading its diff layer - /app/cache, /run, /run/php, /var/lib/nginx.
/tmp did not show up that way, because PHP's opcache creates its lock
file there and unlinks it immediately; it only surfaced when the
hardened container died at startup. Stopping at the first writable path
would have shipped a chart that cannot start.

Probes use the app's own /?action=health, which renders fixed JSON
without touching the cache or any remote site, so neither a scraped site
going down nor an unwritable cache can restart the pod.

Fixes #128

{{/*
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

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 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.
