jklein 7ce0a0c63c refactor(calibre-web-automated): ambientMesh becomes an object carrying Istio's two constants
Gitea #143, maintainer's instruction. The HBONE port and the redirected probe
source are ISTIO CONSTANTS, not standards, so they move from template literals
into values with documented defaults - an operator can then correct them when
Istio changes a number, without waiting for a chart release.

One object under one "enabled", so the two halves still cannot be set
separately; two values could drift apart, which is what this design exists to
prevent. Every read is null-safe (#99), so a deleted object or one carrying
only "enabled: true" falls back to the defaults declared here rather than
dereferencing nil - the defect #136 shipped one value away.

Provenance now written on each constant: 15008 is Istio's HBONE port, not
IANA-registered for this and unknown to Kubernetes; 169.254.7.127 is link-local
(RFC 3927, never routed), its IPv6 counterpart carries the same digits plus
1337, and neither the NetworkPolicy API nor the kubelet knows the address -
only Istio's data plane rewrites the probe source onto it. Both read for
ztunnel 1.30.6, and a change in either fails silently.

The exception in ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh stays pinned to the numbers that
test names, and additionally asserts this chart declares the same defaults -
never "whatever the value says", which would let a mistyped port in through a
configurable field.

No version change: nothing is published yet, the default is still off, and the
render at defaults is byte-identical - re-diffed against origin/main.

# Documented deviation from the repo-wide hardening standard: the CWA image

# init system, whose stage-1/2 setup runs as uid 0 and then drops the app
# to the PUID/PGID user (1000), so runAsNonRoot/runAsUser are deliberately
# not set (s6 supervisors stay root, the application runs as uid 1000).
# readOnlyRootFilesystem is deliberately false: in read-only mode the image
# disables the PUID/PGID remapping (the runtime uid would silently change
# from 1000 to the built-in 911 and break existing volume data) and its
# init fails to write the ImageMagick policy under /etc. Everything else
# is hardened: no privilege escalation and all capabilities dropped except
# the minimal set the s6 init/supervision needs (verified against v4.0.6):
# CHOWN/DAC_OVERRIDE/FOWNER/SETGID/SETUID for the ownership fix-up of
# /config etc. and the root->PUID drop, KILL so the root supervisor can
# signal the uid-1000 services (without it the pod cannot shut down

# have to be repeated for each one (and silently missed on the next one
# added). A container that genuinely needs a different filter can still
# override it under securityContext.container, which wins over this value.
#
# It is orthogonal to the readOnlyRootFilesystem: false deviation above:

# both unnecessary. That is still true, but no longer the whole sentence:
# the HTTPRoute below is a SECOND reader of ingress.domain (while
# httpRoute.hostnames is empty), so "domain is not needed" holds only while
# BOTH routing modes are off.
#
# Mutually exclusive with httpRoute.enabled below (Gitea #114): with both

# Extra annotations for the Ingress; merged with the cert-manager
# cluster-issuer and proxy-body-size annotations the chart always sets.
#
# THESE HAVE NO COUNTERPART IN GATEWAY MODE. The Gateway API has no
# annotation channel for controller behaviour, so anything configured here is
# simply gone when httpRoute.enabled is used instead - it is then the
# Gateway's business, or that of an implementation-specific policy object
# this chart deliberately does not render. For THIS chart that includes the
# upload cap: see cwa.maxUploadFileSize above.
annotations: {}
# Gateway-API alternative to the Ingress above (Gitea #114). Off by default, so
# an existing release is unaffected; exactly one of ingress.enabled and
# httpRoute.enabled may be true.
#
# The chart renders ONLY an HTTPRoute with parentRefs - no Gateway, no
# gatewayClassName, no Certificate and no implementation-specific policy
# object. Class and certificate belong to the Gateway and therefore to the
# platform, which is what keeps this chart independent of whether the cluster
# runs nginx-gateway-fabric, Cilium, Envoy Gateway or Istio.
#
# WHAT THIS MODE COSTS HERE: cwa.maxUploadFileSize is not enforced. It exists
# only as an ingress-nginx annotation and the Gateway API has no body-size
# field, so the limit becomes whatever the Gateway enforces. For an e-book
# library that is the one value worth checking before switching - a book above
# the Gateway's default is rejected by the proxy, and nothing in CWA's log says
# a chart value was ignored. NOTES.txt prints this in Gateway mode.
#
# The Gateway-API CRDs must be installed in the cluster: the chart does not and
# cannot detect them (.Capabilities.APIVersions is unreliable at template
# time), so with httpRoute.enabled: true and no CRDs the INSTALL fails.
httpRoute:
enabled: false
# The Gateway(s) this route attaches to - a platform object, usually in
# another namespace, which must allow this namespace in its listener's
# allowedRoutes. One entry per parent, the fields are the Gateway API's
# ParentReference (name, and optionally namespace, sectionName, port, group,
# kind), passed through unchanged:
#
# parentRefs:
# - name: public
# namespace: gateway
# sectionName: https
#
# REQUIRED while httpRoute.enabled is true - the render aborts on an empty
# list, because a route without a parent is created, is valid and routes
# nothing, with no event to say so.
parentRefs: []
# Empty means [ingress.domain], so the hostname has one source of truth. Set
# explicitly only to publish under a different or an additional name - which
# is how a migration from the Ingress runs: the HTTPRoute takes a second

#
# Cheap in this chart, because nothing inside the pod follows the hostname:
# CWA is told its address by nothing, so a second name needs no second value
# changed with it.

networkPolicy:
# WHAT THIS POLICY ALLOWS: inbound 8083 only, and outbound DNS plus TCP 443
# for metadata lookups (covers and book details from public providers).
#
# WHAT IT DOES NOT DO: 443 goes to any destination - the providers are
# hostnames, which this object cannot match. Inbound 8083 is not restricted
# by source in the default, because it is the 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 8083, 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, the ingressController below and allowedNamespaces to the same rule for exactly that reason.
probeSources: []
# The ingress controller allowed to reach the routed port once probeSources
# restricts it. Rendered only while ingress.enabled is true, and only in
# the restricted branch - with the default (open) rule the controller reaches
# the port anyway. The two keys become ONE "from" entry and are therefore an
# AND: pods carrying podLabels IN namespace. That is the point of having them
# at all - the controller's namespace in allowedNamespaces would open the port
# to every pod in kube-system.
#
# MEASURED ON THIS CLUSTER, NOT ASSUMED (2026-10-14): ingress-nginx is gone,
# the only IngressClass is "traefik" and it is the default, and the controller
# is the DaemonSet rke2-traefik in kube-system. The same Traefik serves the
# Gateway API here, so this one source covers the Ingress and the HTTPRoute
# path alike. A policy written against the wrong controller is accepted, looks
# strict, and silently blocks all web traffic - and ingress.className says
# nothing about it, because a class names an implementation, not the pods the
# traffic comes from.
ingressController:
namespace: kube-system
podLabels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: rke2-traefik
# The policy's INBOUND side. Mind the three names that overlap as substrings,
# because a search for "ingress" matches all of them and they are different
# things:
#
# ingress (top level) the Ingress OBJECT this chart
# renders - host, TLS, className
# networkPolicy.ingress this block: what the policy lets IN
# networkPolicy.ingressController the SOURCE SELECTOR for the ingress
# controller's pods. A SIBLING of this block
# and NO PART OF IT, despite the name.
ingress:
# 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.
# BOTH NUMBERS BELOW ARE ISTIO CONSTANTS, NOT STANDARDS, and they are values
# rather than template literals for exactly that reason: a vendor constant
# can change, and an operator should be able to correct it without waiting
# for a chart release. Their provenance is written on each one.
#
# DELETING THIS OBJECT IS SAFE. Every read falls back to the defaults
# declared here (#99), so "ambientMesh: null", or an object carrying only
# "enabled: true", renders the documented defaults instead of failing.
ambientMesh:
# The switch. Everything else here is inert while it is false, and the
# chart renders exactly as it did before the object existed.
enabled: false
# ISTIO'S HBONE PORT. A constant Istio chose, not a standard: not
# registered with IANA for this, prescribed by no protocol, and unknown to
# Kubernetes. Read for ztunnel 1.30.6 (measured on this cluster: ztunnel
# opens [::]:15008 as its inbound listener).
#
# If Istio changes it, a pod in the mesh cannot be reached. Change it here
# in all 30 charts AND in the pinned expectation inside
# ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh - the test is deliberately what forces
# someone to look, because the exception it grants this port is pinned to
# the number IT knows and not to whatever this value says. A value-driven
# exception would let a mistyped port through, which is the hole design A
# of #143 was rejected for.
#
# NOT MEASURED: that this port ALONE suffices comes from Istio's
# documentation. Measured here is only which listeners ztunnel opens, and
# no namespace carries istio.io/dataplane-mode yet.
port: 15008
# SOURCES THE KUBELET'S PROBES ARRIVE FROM ONCE ISTIO HAS REDIRECTED THEM.
#
# NOT THE SAME VALUE AS networkPolicy.probeSources one level up, and the
# two are easy to confuse, so:
#
# networkPolicy.probeSources
# YOUR worker node CIDRs. Empty by default, and empty means the
# probe rule is OPEN. The chart cannot know these addresses.
# networkPolicy.ingress.ambientMesh.redirectedProbeSources
# ISTIO's rewrite address. Shipped filled, because unlike the node
# IPs it is a constant the chart CAN know. Only rendered where the
# rule above is restricted, i.e. where probeSources is non-empty.
#
# WHERE 169.254.7.127 COMES FROM - vendor magic, not protocol:
#
# - LINK-LOCAL, 169.254.0.0/16 (RFC 3927): a range reserved for
# node-local use that is never routed - exactly the range one picks a
# vendor's magic address out of.
# - Istio's IPv6 counterpart gives it away:
# fd16:9254:7127:1337:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff carries the SAME DIGITS
# (9254:7127 is 169.254.7.127) plus 1337. Numbers built that way are
# vendor constants, not protocols.
# - KUBERNETES DOES NOT KNOW THIS ADDRESS. Neither the NetworkPolicy API
# nor the kubelet has any notion of it; only Istio's own data plane
# rewrites the probe source onto it.
#
# Read for ztunnel 1.30.6. IF ISTIO CHANGES IT, THE FAILURE IS SILENT:
# probes would be dropped, and only where probeSources is non-empty - which
# is nowhere in this repository today - so nothing here and nothing in
# Kubernetes would report it. What to re-check then: the address Istio's
# release notes name for probe redirection, this list in all 30 charts, and
# the pinned expectation in ci/run-networkpolicy-test.sh.
#
# A LIST, not a string, and the one case where that does not contradict "a
# constant, not a configuration": on a DUAL-STACK cluster BOTH entries are
# needed at the same time, not one of two. This cluster is SingleStack
# IPv4, so the IPv6 counterpart is left out - an ipBlock of the wrong
# family is accepted by the API server and matches nothing. Add it
# ALONGSIDE, never instead, if the cluster gains IPv6.
#
# Clearing this list restores the default rather than removing the ipBlock,
# deliberately: the two halves of this switch are not separable. To not
# open the port at all, set enabled: false.
#
# UNPROVEN IN OPERATION: probeSources is empty in every chart here, so no
# release reaches this branch. CI proves the render, not the effect.
redirectedProbeSources:
- 169.254.7.127/32
egress:
# Additional outbound TCP ports. DNS (UDP and TCP 53) is always allowed and
# has no switch - a knob whose only other setting breaks every name lookup
# in the pod is a trap, not a feature.
#
# PORTS, NOT DESTINATIONS, and that is a limit of the object rather than
# laziness: a NetworkPolicy matches CIDRs and selectors and never hostnames,
# so "only to the database host" cannot be written at all. Each entry
# permits its port to ANY destination. What the cap still buys is real: a
# compromised pod cannot open arbitrary outbound connections.
#
# Add a port only for a metadata provider or an e-mail/send-to-Kindle setup
# that does not use 443 - SMTP submission would be 587 or 465.
