jakman85andClaude Opus 4.8 734093cf92 fix(vpn): hardcode OPENVPN_ENDPOINT_PORT "53" as string (Flux var int-coercion)
Wiring the port via "${PIA_OPENVPN_PORT}" made Flux/kustomize emit an unquoted
53 (int) after substitution, which k8s rejects for an env value ("expected
string, got 53"). Same gotcha as the Longhorn numberOfReplicas fix. Hardcode the
quoted string; cluster-var removed with a NOTE explaining why.

# Gluetun — the single shared in-cluster VPN egress gateway (ADR-0013): PIA over OpenVPN-UDP, with
# Gluetun's built-in kill-switch/firewall (fail-closed), health checks, auto-reconnect, and native
# port forwarding for qBittorrent. `vpn`-class pods are steered through this gateway (see README.md
# "Egress steering" — the Cilium-native mechanism, pending live validation with PIA creds).
#
# Credentials: the `pia-credentials` SOPS Secret (keys: username, password). Gluetun uses PIA's
# username/password (via OPENVPN_USER/OPENVPN_PASSWORD) to authenticate to PIA. Gluetun ships PIA's
# OpenVPN server configs, so no manual `.ovpn` is needed (ADR-0013 amendment: OpenVPN-UDP — Gluetun
# does NOT support PIA over WireGuard).
