jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 178d130dc3 fix(velero): disable CRD-upgrade hook instead of pinning bitnami/kubectl
Supersedes the previous kubectl-image repoint. The velero chart's pre-install
`velero-upgrade-crds` HOOK job runs docker.io/bitnami/kubectl, whose public
Docker Hub catalog Bitnami removed (Aug 2025); `bitnami/kubectl:1.31` 404s,
leaving the hook in Init:ImagePullBackOff so Velero never installs.

Repointing the hook to the exact-version rancher/kubectl:v1.31.5 (prior commit)
does not work: that image is distroless, and the hook's init runs
`/bin/sh -c "cp $(which sh)/... $(which kubectl) /tmp"` — with no /bin/sh it
crashes StartError (verified on-cluster).

The hook exists ONLY to UPDATE CRDs on chart upgrades — it is NOT how CRDs are
first installed. The chart ships all 13 Velero CRDs in its native `crds/`
directory, which Helm applies unconditionally on install (before hooks),
independent of this flag; the CRDs are already present on-cluster from Helm's
crds/ handling. Setting `upgradeCRDs: false` drops the fragile external
kubectl-image dependency entirely while CRDs still install. Trade-off: Helm
won't manage crds/ after install, so CRD schema upgrades become a
manual/Renovate step; acceptable given Velero's CRDs are stable.

All other Velero values (BSL -> versitygw s3://velero, kopia FSB node-agent, the
two Schedules, the velero-cloud-credentials secret) are unchanged.

# Velero — off-cluster backup/DR of cluster resources + PVC data (ADR-0003, R-STATE-03). LIVE.
#
# TARGET: the on-Proxmox MinIO S3 endpoint http://192.168.1.9:9000 (plain HTTP, path-style), bucket
# `velero`. region us-east-1 is a placeholder MinIO ignores (S3 clients still require one).
#
# WHY THIS SHAPE:
# - provider aws + velero-plugin-for-aws (init container) drives the S3-compatible MinIO target.
# - File System Backup (kopia) via the node-agent DaemonSet — storage-agnostic PVC backup that does
# NOT depend on CSI VolumeSnapshots or a data-mover (the simplest path that still captures the
# Longhorn PVC *data*). snapshotsEnabled:false → no VolumeSnapshotLocation is created/needed.
# - Credentials: the `cloud` INI key of the SOPS Secret velero-cloud-credentials (ns velero) — the
# SCOPED MinIO key limited to the velero+cnpg buckets. Kept in sync with the staging source of
# truth platform/backup/minio-credentials.sops.yaml and the Proxmox host ansible-vault.
#
# VOLUME OPT-OUT (per the sizing decision) is implemented with TWO schedules (a single Backup has one
# cluster-wide defaultVolumesToFsBackup, so per-namespace volume policy needs two): see `schedules`.
#
# NON-GATING TIER: reconciled by clusters/base/backup.yaml (dependsOn platform-config, wait:false).
# A backup controller must NEVER gate the platform graph (mirror headlamp/oauth2-proxy).
