IvanHunters 9e3ed1f2cb fix(backups): stop the redis backup demo from reading empty values (#4399)
<!-- Thank you for making a contribution! Here are some tips for you:
- Use Conventional Commits for the PR title: `type(scope): description`
- Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore
- Scopes are not an exhaustive list — pick the most specific scope for
the change and extend the list when a genuinely new area appears.
Examples:
- System components: dashboard, platform, operator, cilium, kube-ovn,
linstor, fluxcd, cluster-api
- Managed apps: postgres, mariadb, redis, kafka, clickhouse,
virtual-machine, kubernetes
- Development and maintenance: api, hack, tests, ci, docs, maintenance
- Breaking changes: append `!` after type/scope (`feat(api)!: ...`) or
add a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer
- If it's a work in progress, consider creating this PR as a draft.
- Don't hesistate to ask for opinion and review in the community chats,
even if it's still a draft.
- Add the label `kind/backport` if it's a bugfix that needs to be
backported to a previous version.

## What this PR does

The redis backup round-trip suite went red on PRs that do not touch
redis, each time on an empty read (#4395). The report snapshots of those
runs point to two separate causes, and I fix both here.

The empty marker reads came from the demo helper that ran redis-cli in a
throwaway `kubectl run -i --rm` Pod. kubectl gets that Pod's stdout over
an attach, and containerd's attach only carries output written after the
attach is registered. kubectl falls back to the Pod log only when the
attach fails. A redis-cli that finishes in that gap comes back as an
empty string with exit 0. In the failed runs, the master's log shows the
key present, and sentinel logged no failover, yet the GET read ''.
`redis_cmd` now runs redis-cli by `kubectl exec` in a sentinel Pod,
which already has it. An exec'd process gets its own pipes, so its
output can't be lost that way, and its exit code comes back. The
password now goes over stdin rather than a Pod env var.

The missing-strategy failure was real: `cozy-default-redis` did not
exist yet. It gets rendered behind a lookup of the platform bucket, so
it appears only after a forced Helm upgrade. helm-controller holds that
upgrade while `cozystack-basics` is not Ready, and the e2e install's
late platform patches keep it not Ready for several minutes. The demo
read the object once. It now waits for the object with `kubectl wait
--for=create` and a 15 minute bound. That wait fails right away on
anything other than NotFound.

The demo's reads also stop sending stderr to `/dev/null`, so the next
failure names its cause. `hack/redis-backup-demo-helpers.bats` covers
`redis_cmd` with stubbed kubectl and redis-cli: it reads through exec,
keeps the password out of argv, sends no AUTH when there is no Secret,
and fails loudly when the exec fails or sentinel has no master.

Closes #4395

### Screenshots

<!-- REQUIRED for UI changes: attach screenshots or screen recordings
demonstrating
the visual impact of your changes. PRs with UI changes without
screenshots will not be merged. -->

No UI changes.

### Downstream repositories

<!--
Cozystack is upstream for repositories that are NOT kept in sync with it
automatically, and nothing in CI compares the two sides, so a change
here can break them silently.

Which change forces what, and which file to touch, is the trigger map in
docs/agents/contributing.md under "Downstream Repositories". Walk it
before you tick anything.

IF YOU ARE AN AI AGENT OR AN LLM, THIS IS PART OF THE TASK, NOT A FORM
TO FILL IN:

1. Walk the trigger map against the actual diff of this PR, file by
file. Do not decide from the PR title or from your memory of what you
changed.
2. For every repository you tick, open the follow-up PR there and link
it on the same line. A ticked box with no link claims work that does not
exist, which is worse than an empty box. Search that repository for an
open PR or issue covering it first, and link that instead of filing a
duplicate.
3. When the follow-up is out of scope, or needs a decision that is not
yours to make, open an issue in that repository instead, link that, and
say so in the PR body. Do not push a speculative PR into another
repository just to fill a line here.
4. Do not tick "No downstream repository is affected" to make the
checklist go away. If you are unsure, leave every box empty and say so
in the PR body, so a human decides.

```release-note
fix(backups): the Redis backup demo reads its keys through `kubectl exec`, so a short-lived Pod can no longer drop its output, and it waits for the platform's `cozy-default-redis` strategy to appear instead of failing on its first read.
```

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Redis backup and restore commands now report Kubernetes and Secret
read errors instead of hiding them, while still treating a missing
password Secret as empty.
* Redis commands pass authentication securely and fail clearly when
Sentinel cannot identify a master.
* Backup demos wait for the Redis backup strategy to appear and provide
clearer error messages.
* **Tests**
* Added coverage for Redis authentication handling, command failures,
and missing Sentinel masters.
