## What this PR does Browsers negotiate HTTP/2 exclusively through TLS ALPN: if the terminating listener does not advertise `h2`, every client silently falls back to HTTP/1.1, with no error surfaced anywhere. Cozystack's Gateway API path is served by Cilium's embedded Envoy, and Cilium ships with `enable-gateway-api-alpn=false` — so every Gateway listener advertised no ALPN protocols and all browser traffic through a Gateway ran over HTTP/1.1 (observable in browser dev tools as `http/1.1` on every request). The ingress-nginx path this replaces advertised `h2` out of the box, so the migration to Gateway API silently downgraded clients: head-of-line blocking and the ~6-connections-per-origin limit are back for anything served through a Gateway. This PR enables ALPN (`h2`, then `http/1.1`) on Gateway API listeners, default-on, with an opt-out at each management layer: - `packages/system/cilium/values.yaml` now defaults `gatewayAPI.enableAlpn: true`, which renders `enable-gateway-api-alpn: "true"` into the `cilium-config` ConfigMap. - The platform chart gains `gateway.http2` (default `true`) next to the existing `gateway.enabled`/`gateway.attachedNamespaces`. The `isp-full` and `isp-full-generic` bundles thread it as inline component values into the `cozystack.networking` Package CR (`components.cilium.values.cilium.gatewayAPI.enableAlpn`); inline HelmRelease values override the package `valuesFiles`, so an explicit `gateway.http2: false` actually reaches the dataplane rather than being shadowed by the new chart default. On `isp-hosted` the hosting-side CNI owns this setting and the flag is a no-op. - Tenant Kubernetes clusters (`packages/apps/kubernetes`) get the same fix: when the `gatewayAPI` addon is enabled, the tenant cilium HelmRelease now sets `enableAlpn: true`; individual clusters opt out via `addons.cilium.valuesOverride.cilium.gatewayAPI.enableAlpn=false`. ### Why default-on rather than opt-in HTTP/2 for browsers was the platform's behavior before the Gateway API migration, so keeping ALPN off would preserve a regression, not a status quo. Defaulting on is safe because ALPN is a negotiation: clients that cannot speak HTTP/2 simply keep negotiating `http/1.1`, exactly as before. Operators who need the old wire behavior can set `gateway.http2: false` platform-wide. ### Frontend vs backend hop This change affects the client↔gateway hop only. Gateway↔backend connections stay HTTP/1.1 unless a Service explicitly opts in per GEP-1911 by declaring `appProtocol: kubernetes.io/h2c` on its port. Cilium couples that backend-protocol support to the ALPN flag (`enable-gateway-api-app-protocol` flips to true together with it), but it only acts on Services that declare a recognized `appProtocol` value — and no cozystack-shipped Service does today (only plain `http`/`https` values exist in-tree, which Cilium ignores for protocol selection). So upstreams see no change from this PR alone; h2c/gRPC backends become possible to configure, not configured. The setting is cluster-wide Cilium agent config, so it covers the root Gateway and all tenant Gateways at once — Cilium offers no per-Gateway granularity here. Flipping it re-rolls the cilium DaemonSet on upgrade (`rollOutCiliumPods: true`), the same disruption profile as any other cilium config change. ### How it was verified - New helm-unittest suites: `packages/core/platform/tests/bundles_gateway_http2_wiring_test.yaml` asserts the Package CR carries `enableAlpn` true by default and false with `gateway.http2: false` for both cilium bundles; `packages/apps/kubernetes/tests/cilium_gateway_alpn_test.yaml` asserts the tenant HelmRelease default, the addon-off case, and the `valuesOverride` opt-out. Full suites for both charts pass (93 and 184 tests). - `helm template` of `packages/system/cilium` confirms the value is consumed, not just rendered: default produces `enable-gateway-api-alpn: "true"` (and `enable-gateway-api-app-protocol: "true"`) in `cilium-config`; the threaded `false` produces `"false"` for both. ### Screenshots Not a UI change. ### Downstream repositories The website's hand-written platform values table (`content/en/docs/next/operations/configuration/platform-package.md`) needs a row for `gateway.http2` — filed as cozystack/website#625. No other downstream repository restates anything in this diff (no app `values.schema.json`, ansible-consumed platform key, or hack/ tooling changed). - [ ] No downstream repository is affected by this change - [x] [cozystack/website](https://github.com/cozystack/website) - follow-up: https://github.com/cozystack/website/pull/625 - [ ] [cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ansible-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/ansible-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ccp](https://github.com/cozystack/ccp) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/talm](https://github.com/cozystack/talm) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozyhr](https://github.com/cozystack/cozyhr) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozy-proxy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozy-proxy) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/external-apps-example](https://github.com/cozystack/external-apps-example) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/examples](https://github.com/cozystack/examples) - follow-up: ### Release note ```release-note feat(gateway): Gateway API listeners now advertise HTTP/2 via TLS ALPN (h2, then http/1.1) by default, restoring the browser HTTP/2 support lost in the migration from ingress-nginx. Opt out platform-wide with gateway.http2=false, or per tenant Kubernetes cluster via addons.cilium.valuesOverride.cilium.gatewayAPI.enableAlpn=false. Backend (gateway-to-upstream) connections are unchanged and stay HTTP/1.1 unless a Service declares appProtocol kubernetes.io/h2c. ```
