Bernd Rodler 177b2aca57 feat(ci): pivot to ArgoCD GitOps, fix Traefik ingress after real-cluster check
Direct SSH access to the actual clusters (node1-3 "prod" HA, dev-k8s-1-3
"dev") revealed two things that made the previous design wrong:

1. Neither cluster has vncmail/vnc-ca namespaces or a bulwark ingress at
   all - the "live sandbox" referenced in this repo's docs/manifests was
   never actually applied anywhere. Both ingress.yaml's ingressClassName
   (public) and cert-manager issuer (letsencrypt-prod) were also wrong:
   both clusters run Traefik (class is literally named `traefik`), and
   only dev-k8s has any ClusterIssuer at all (`letsencrypt-staging`).
   node1-3 has zero ClusterIssuers configured.

2. dev-k8s already has ArgoCD installed, idle, zero Applications - more
   idiomatic to use it than have GitLab Runner execute kubectl directly.

Pivots .gitlab-ci.yml: build+push image, then commit the tag into a small
per-overlay Component (overlays/{dev,prod}/image-tag/) that ArgoCD's
Application watches - CI never touches the cluster, only the registry and
this repo. dev's Application (vncmail-dev) is registered and applied
already (manual sync for now, until the one-time namespace secret
bootstrap is done - see VNCMAIL-SETUP.md). prod's Application is
scaffolded in deploy/argocd/ but deliberately not applied - it targets a
different cluster (node1-3) that isn't registered with ArgoCD yet, and
there's still no real prod hostname/Stalwart/ClusterIssuer.

Fixes base/ingress.yaml to the real ingressClassName: traefik (was the
nginx-style `public`, which doesn't exist on either cluster) and gives
each overlay its own cert-manager issuer patch instead of one hardcoded
value, since dev and prod need different (or, for prod, nonexistent)
issuers.

# GitLab-CI dev→prod pipeline for VNCmail+ — GitOps via ArgoCD.
#
# Revised after direct inspection of the real infrastructure found ArgoCD
# already installed (idle, zero Applications) on the dev-k8s-1/2/3 cluster.
# That's more idiomatic than a runner-executes-kubectl design, and it means
# this pipeline needs ZERO cluster credentials — CI only ever talks to the
# container registry and to this git repo. ArgoCD (which already has
# whatever cluster access it needs, set up once when its Applications were
# registered — see deploy/argocd/) is what actually applies anything.
#
# Design:
# - One image name, environment lives only in the tag. No more -dev/-beta
# name confusion from the old GitHub Actions workflow.
# - MR into `dev`: verify only (typecheck/lint/unit test/build check). No
# push, no deploy — this is the multi-developer merge gate.
# - Push to `dev`: build+push an immutable `sha-<sha>` tag, then commit a
# one-line tag-bump into overlays/dev/image-tag/kustomization.yaml
# (`[skip ci]`, so this doesn't retrigger itself). ArgoCD's `vncmail-dev`
# Application has automated sync — it notices the git change and applies
# it. No approval needed, dev always deploys, and this job never touches
# the cluster directly.
# - Push to `main`: NEVER rebuilds. `main` only ever advances via
# `git merge --ff-only dev`, so main's HEAD commit already has a built
# image (the same sha- tag dev already deployed). This job just bumps
# overlays/prod/image-tag/kustomization.yaml to point at that same tag.
# The actual promotion gate is a HUMAN clicking Sync on the `vncmail-prod` ArgoCD
# Application (deliberately NOT automated sync) — not a GitLab manual
# job, since ArgoCD already provides that exact gate more directly.
# Until prod Stalwart/hostname/secrets are real (see VNCMAIL-SETUP.md),
# nobody should click that Sync button — but nothing here does it for
# you either way.
#
# Deliberately single-platform (linux/amd64) — this pipeline serves two
# known amd64 microk8s clusters, not public multi-arch distribution (that's
# what the GHCR release workflows are for, untouched by this file).
#
# Prerequisite this file assumes (documented in VNCMAIL-SETUP.md, not
# something this file can set up itself):
# - GitLab Container Registry enabled for this project (confirmed done).
# - A GitLab Runner (any kind — no cluster access needed at all now).
# - Either "allow this job token to push to this project" enabled
# (Settings → CI/CD → Job token permissions), OR a project access token
# with `write_repository` scope in $GITLAB_PUSH_TOKEN. The job below
# tries CI_JOB_TOKEN first (see the script).
#
# deploy/k8s/ca/ (the EJBCA internal CA) is never referenced anywhere below,
# and neither ArgoCD Application in deploy/argocd/ points at it — that stays
# a fully manual, human-only runbook (see deploy/k8s/ca/README.md).
