- Add input validation: username regex + email format check in pipeline
- Quote variables in .provision-env to prevent shell injection
- Remove dead source command (each Woodpecker command is separate shell)
- Use jq to build JSON payloads (prevents injection via group names)
- Clean up git-crypt key on failure (use ; instead of &&)
- Add Kyverno ndots lifecycle ignore to webhook-handler deployment
Vault stack can't be applied in CI (git-crypt TLS certs + sensitive
for_each on k8s_users). Pipeline now automates Vault KV update +
Authentik group creation, then notifies admin to apply stacks manually.
This matches the existing pattern — vault is not in default.yml either.
Woodpecker performs compile-time substitution on ${...} patterns,
replacing pipeline variables with empty strings. Using $VAR without
braces lets the shell evaluate them at runtime.
