authentik: custom-image overlay to fix the 1.4s login-flow query (SLOW-1a)
Some checks are pending
Build Custom Authentik Image / build (push) Waiting to run
ci/woodpecker/push/default Pipeline was successful

The login flow's identification stage runs a bare select_subclasses() that
LEFT-JOINs every Source subtype table — ~1.4s server-side on every cold login
(verified live: 1527ms vs 14ms). Narrow it to only the subtypes that render a UI
login button (oauth/saml/plex/telegram/kerberos — not the sync-only ldap/scim),
via django-model-utils string accessors so no import is needed. Byte-identical
output, ~100x faster, robust to adding new login source types.

Shipped as a thin overlay over the official image (mirrors the diun/excalidraw
precedent): stacks/authentik/Dockerfile (FROM ghcr.io/goauthentik/server:2026.2.4
+ a guarded sed) built by .github/workflows/build-authentik.yml -> ghcr.io/
viktorbarzin/authentik-server:2026.2.4-patch1. The values repoint + Keel freeze
land in a follow-up commit once the image is built. Upstream bug still present in
main (no fix/PR) — drop this overlay once upstream narrows the query.

name: Build Custom Authentik Image
# ADR-0002: infra-owned image built off-infra on GHA → ghcr.
# Thin SLOW-1a overlay over the official authentik server (narrows the login
# identification stage's select_subclasses() to the login-capable source subtypes;
# see stacks/authentik/Dockerfile). Rebuild only when the Dockerfile changes — on
# every authentik bump, edit the FROM tag + the patchN suffix here + the image tag
# in modules/authentik/values.yaml together.
