feat(helm): add optional Gateway API HTTPRoute support

Add disabled-by-default HTTPRoute support with configurable parent references,
hostnames, paths, annotations and optional timeouts. Route to the existing TREK
Service and keep Ingress support unchanged, including simultaneous use.

Document configuration and extend the existing Helm Chart & Compose job with
HTTPRoute render variants and strict validation using a pinned CRDs catalog.

Approved on Discord:
https://discord.com/channels/1488298068427411591/1553537637455761500

Validation: strict Helm lint, 37 manifests validated without errors or skipped
resources, and both Compose configuration checks passed locally.
Live Gateway WebSocket and streamed assistant response checks were not performed
because no Kubernetes test cluster was configured.

### HTTPRoute
HTTPRoute support is off by default. Enable it to attach TREK to an existing Gateway:
```yaml
httpRoute:
enabled: true
annotations: {}
parentRefs:
- name: gateway
namespace: gateway-system
sectionName: https
hostnames:
- trek.example.com
paths:
- /
timeouts:
request: "0s"
backendRequest: "0s"
```
The cluster must have the Gateway API `HTTPRoute` v1 CRD and a Gateway API controller. The chart creates only the HTTPRoute, targeting TREK's existing Service and `service.port`; the Gateway, GatewayClass, listener, TLS certificate, and `allowedRoutes` configuration remain the operator's responsibility. When enabled, `parentRefs` and `paths` must be non-empty. Each path is a string prefix. Ingress and HTTPRoute can both be enabled.
Timeout fields became Standard Channel in Gateway API v1.2, but controller support is implementation-specific. Omitting them leaves timeout behavior to the controller. `0s` disables the corresponding request timeout; controller idle and buffering settings can still interrupt `/ws` connections or streamed assistant responses. Set `env.ALLOWED_ORIGINS` and `env.APP_URL` to the public URL; when the Gateway terminates TLS, configure `env.FORCE_HTTPS: "true"` and `env.TRUST_PROXY: "1"`.

- `JWT_SECRET` is managed entirely by the server — auto-generated into the data PVC on first start and rotatable via the admin panel (Settings → Danger Zone). No Helm configuration needed.
- `ENCRYPTION_KEY` encrypts stored secrets (API keys, MFA, SMTP, OIDC) at rest. Recommended: set via `secretEnv.ENCRYPTION_KEY` or `existingSecret`. If left empty, the server falls back automatically: existing installs use `data/.jwt_secret` (no action needed on upgrade); fresh installs auto-generate a key persisted to the data PVC.
- Liveness and readiness probes are configurable under `probes`. Overrides are merged over the defaults, so `--set probes.liveness.initialDelaySeconds=60` keeps the `httpGet` handler. When switching to `exec` or `tcpSocket`, clear `httpGet` in the same override. Set `probes.liveness: null` to remove a probe.
- If using ingress, you must manually keep `env.ALLOWED_ORIGINS` and `ingress.hosts` in sync to ensure CORS works correctly. The chart does not sync these automatically.
- If exposing TREK through an Ingress or HTTPRoute, set `env.ALLOWED_ORIGINS` and `env.APP_URL` to the public URL. The chart does not sync these automatically.
- Set `env.ALLOW_INTERNAL_NETWORK: "true"` if Immich or other integrated services are hosted on a private/RFC-1918 address (e.g. a pod on the same cluster or a NAS on your LAN). Loopback (`127.x`) and link-local/metadata addresses (`169.254.x`) remain blocked regardless.
- Set `env.ALLOW_LINK_LOCAL_IPS` to a single link-local address (e.g. `"169.254.1.2"`) only when a service TREK needs sits behind one, such as a host gateway. Cloud metadata addresses (`169.254.169.x`, `169.254.170.x`) cannot be listed.
- `FORCE_HTTPS` is optional. Set `env.FORCE_HTTPS: "true"` only when ingress (or another proxy) terminates TLS. It enables HTTPS redirects, HSTS, CSP `upgrade-insecure-requests`, and forces the session cookie `secure` flag. Requires `TRUST_PROXY` to be set.

### HTTPRoute
HTTPRoute support is off by default. To attach TREK to an existing Gateway, enable it in your values file:
```yaml
httpRoute:
enabled: true
annotations: {}
parentRefs:
- name: gateway
namespace: gateway-system
sectionName: https
hostnames:
- trek.example.com
paths:
- /
timeouts:
request: "0s"
backendRequest: "0s"
```
The cluster needs the Gateway API `HTTPRoute` v1 CRD and a compatible controller. The chart creates only an HTTPRoute to TREK's existing Service on `service.port`; your operator must provide the Gateway and GatewayClass, configure its listener and TLS certificate, and allow routes from the chart's namespace. When enabled, `parentRefs` and `paths` must be non-empty. Paths are string prefixes. Ingress and HTTPRoute may be enabled together.
Timeout fields are Standard Channel in Gateway API v1.2, though controller support varies. If omitted, the controller's timeout defaults apply. `0s` disables that request timeout; controller idle and buffering limits can still affect `/ws` and streamed assistant responses. Set `env.ALLOWED_ORIGINS` and `env.APP_URL` to the public URL. If the Gateway terminates TLS, also set `env.FORCE_HTTPS: "true"` and `env.TRUST_PROXY: "1"`.
## Upgrade
The Deployment uses the `Recreate` update strategy (`updateStrategy: Recreate`): the old pod stops before the new one starts. TREK is a single-writer SQLite application, and during a rolling update the new pod would migrate the database while the old one still writes to it. A ReadWriteMany volume does not make that safe, so leave the strategy as it is and keep one replica.
