myasnikovdaniil 516be4abfe fix(cozystack-basics): normalize tenant hostname VAP comparisons with lowerAscii (#3208)
## 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.
```

## 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.
