Subject: [PATCH] fix(traefik): set controllerName on GatewayClasses and
 Traefik providers (#135)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Problem

Both GatewayClasses (`traefik-internal`, `traefik-external`) were stuck as `Unknown`. Neither Traefik deployment had `controllerName` set in `kubernetesGateway`, so both defaulted to `traefik.io/gateway-controller` — which matched neither GatewayClass.

## Fix

- `gatewayclass-internal.yaml`: `controllerName: traefik.io/gateway-controller-internal`
- `gatewayclass-external.yaml`: `controllerName: traefik.io/gateway-controller-external`
- `values-internal.yaml`: added `controllerName: traefik.io/gateway-controller-internal`
- `values-external.yaml`: added `controllerName: traefik.io/gateway-controller-external`

## Test plan

- [ ] ArgoCD syncs traefik-system cleanly
- [ ] `kubectl get gatewayclass` shows both as `Accepted: True`
