## What this PR does The Ingress, Gateway, and Route hostname `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` objects compare tenant hostnames against the tenant apex with case-sensitive CEL. The resource-side host is always lowercase — the apiserver's hostname validation permits nothing else — but both apex operands can carry uppercase: the `namespace.cozystack.io/host` label value, which Kubernetes permits to carry uppercase and which the tenant chart writes verbatim from `tenant.spec.host`, and the templated `_cluster.root-host`, a free-form platform value that nothing validates for case. A mixed-case apex label wrongly denies a tenant its own legitimate lowercase in-apex hostname. An uppercase `_cluster.root-host` is the dangerous direction: the Ingress outside-root exclusion compares a lowercase host against the uppercase literal, never matches, so the exclusion stops excluding and the policy admits any non-wildcard host — every non-wildcard platform-apex name a tenant asks for, including a hostname belonging to another tenant and the root apex itself. Only the anti-wildcard gate still holds. This normalizes both operands of every hostname comparison with `.lowerAscii()` (host, apex label, and the templated root-host literal) across all three policies, so the match follows DNS case semantics. There is no behavior change in the default all-lowercase configuration. The Gateway policy's fail-open on an absent or empty host label is deliberately left as it was: that is the platform's one documented fail-open exception in `docs/security/threat-model.md`, so changing the posture is a security-model decision rather than a side effect of normalizing case. Its current shape is pinned by a test. Test coverage: - helm-unittest pins each comparison as a whole operand pair — equality and `endsWith`, across the rule-host and tls-host branches — so dropping the normalization from any single operand is caught. A pattern matching a lone `.lowerAscii()` would not: the apex appears four times in the Ingress expression, so stripping one operand still leaves three matches. - A rendering case with `_cluster.root-host: Example.ORG` pins the outside-root escape shut; it is red pre-fix. - e2e probes set a mixed-case apex on an isolated throwaway namespace and assert both halves of the match: a lowercase in-apex HTTPRoute and Ingress are still admitted (red pre-fix, green post-fix), while a foreign apex and a hostname ending with the apex without a dot boundary are still denied. Vacuous-pass guards re-read the persisted label and assert the probe apex really is mixed-case. Normalizing the apex at the write site — the tenant namespace template and `_cluster.root-host` — is tracked separately in #3328. It would not remove the need for this change: the host label is settable out-of-band by a trusted caller, so these policies must not assume the apex arrives normalized. Closes #3205. ### Screenshots N/A (no UI changes). ### Release note ```release-note fix(cozystack-basics): tenant hostname admission policies now compare against the tenant apex and the platform root apex case-insensitively. This closes a bypass where an uppercase `_cluster.root-host` made the Ingress policy's outside-root exclusion stop matching, so the policy admitted any non-wildcard host — including a hostname under the platform apex belonging to another tenant, and the root apex itself. ``` <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Hostname validation now consistently matches case-insensitively across Gateway, Ingress, HTTPRoute, and TLSRoute. * Mixed-case tenant and apex hostnames are accepted when they meet the intended domain boundaries. * Foreign domains and prefix-adjacent hostnames remain correctly rejected; validation behaves as documented when the tenant host is empty. * **Tests** * Expanded unit and e2e coverage for case-insensitive hostname rendering and boundary rejections across the supported resources. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
