volker.raschekandCopilot e8f3a058ce feat(deployment)!: configurable init containers and Secret checksum lookup
The chart-managed init containers were hardcoded inside `deployment.yaml`. Their image, environment, resources,
security context and volume mounts could not be adjusted individually, and custom init containers could only be
prepended or appended as a whole via `preExtraInitContainers`/`postExtraInitContainers`.

The init containers are now rendered from `deployment.initContainers`, an ordered list whose entries either `link` a
chart-managed init container (`initDirectories`, `initAppIni`, `initConfigureGPG`, `initConfigureGitea`) or provide a
free-form `container` definition. This allows custom containers at any position and makes the execution order
explicit. Each linked init container has its own configuration block in `values.yaml` and falls back to
`deployment.gitea.securityContext` and `initContainers.resources` when unset.

To support per-container images, `gitea.image` was split into the generic helper `gitea.image.name`, which renders an
arbitrary `image` dict instead of only `deployment.gitea.image`.

The pod annotations moved from `deployment.yaml` into the new helper `gitea.pod.annotations`. The SHA sum annotations
now also cover user-provided Secrets: their content is unknown to the chart, so the Secret is read from the cluster via
Helm's `lookup` function. Chart-managed Secrets keep using the rendered manifest, because the cluster still holds their
pre-upgrade state during rendering.

Because `lookup` requires `get` permission on Secrets and silently returns nothing during client-side rendering
(`helm template`, `--dry-run`, Argo CD without a live cluster), `addSHASumAnnotation` now defaults to `false`. The
trade-offs are documented in the README so users can make an informed decision.

BREAKING CHANGE: `preExtraInitContainers` and `postExtraInitContainers` have been removed. Add an entry with a
`container` key before or after the linked init containers in `deployment.initContainers` instead.

BREAKING CHANGE: `secrets.<secret>.addSHASumAnnotation` now defaults to `false`. Set it to `true` explicitly to keep
the rollout trigger on Secret changes.

# Gitea Helm Chart — Copilot Instructions
## Project Overview
Kubernetes Helm chart for deploying [Gitea](https://gitea.com). Uses Go/Helm templating (`templates/`), YAML values (`values.yaml`), and includes sub-charts for PostgreSQL, PostgreSQL-HA, Valkey, and Valkey-cluster.
## Build & Test
```bash
make readme # Regenerate README.md parameter table + lint
make unittests-helm # Run Helm unit tests (helm-unittest plugin required)
make unittests-bash # Run bash/bats script tests (requires git submodule init)
make unittests # Both of the above
```
Always run `make readme` after changing `values.yaml` `@param` annotations.
Always run `make unittests-helm` after changing templates or unit tests.
## Conventions
### values.yaml
- Use `## @param path.to.key Description` annotations for every user-facing value. These drive the auto-generated README parameter table.
- Property ordering within a resource block: `enabled`, `annotations`, `labels` first, then type-specific fields.
- Top-level keys are sorted alphabetically within their section group.
- Use [Helm Values](https://docs.renovatebot.com/modules/manager/helm-values/#additional-information) pattern from renovatebot. Ensure that the attributes `registry`, `repository` and `tag` are available as part of the dict `image`. For example:
```yaml
image:
registry: docker.io
repository: library/busybox
tag: 0.1.0
```
### Templates
- Helm templates live in `templates/gitea/`. Helpers live in `templates/_helpers.tpl`.
- Use camelCase for all files and variables (e.g `httpRoute`, `backendTLSPolicy`, `gatewayAPI`, `statefulSet`).
- Use `include "gitea.fullname"` for naming resources.
- Use `fail` for required-value validation with clear error messages referencing the full values path.
- Ensure, that the attributes `annotations`, `labels`, `name` and `namespace` are alphabetically sorted.
- Render all attributes, even if they are empty, to prevent drift in Argo CD. For example, `labels` must be rendered, while `annotations` are defined as `yaml:"annotations,omitempty"`.
- Use plural for `*.tpl` files, because they may contain functions for multiple resources of the same kind (e.g. `_services.tpl` for `httpService.yaml` or `sshService.yaml`, `_backendTLSPolicies.tpl` for `backendTLSPolicy.yaml`).
### Unit Tests
- Helm unit tests live in `unittests/helm/` mirroring the template structure.
- Test files are YAML using the [helm-unittest](https://github.com/helm-unittest/helm-unittest) format.
- Each test must set all required values explicitly — do not rely on cross-test state.
- The `values.yaml` file must pass `yamllint`. The configuration is in `.yamllint`. Use `make yamllint` to run the linter.
- The title of the unit test should clearly describe the scenario being tested. As title must be use a short sentence starting with a capital letter and ending without a period.
### Commits & PRs
- Follow [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) for PR titles and commit messages (e.g. `feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `docs:`, `style:`).
- See `CONTRIBUTING.md` for full PR requirements.
- Explain in detail why a change is needed, not just what the change is. Include links to relevant issues, PRs, or external references.
- Add co-authors for any contributions that are not your own. Use the `Co-authored-by:` trailer in the commit message.
### Documentation
- `docs/` contains topic-specific guides (e.g. `gateway-api.md`, `ha-setup.md`).
- `README.md` parameter tables are auto-generated — never edit them manually.
