URGENT — Traefik pods are CrashLoopBackOff

The merged PR #135 added --providers.kubernetesgateway.controllerName as an additionalArguments entry. Traefik v3.7.0 does not support this flag and fails immediately on startup.

Old replica sets are still running (one pod each) but new pods cannot come up.

Fix

  • Remove additionalArguments from both values-internal.yaml and values-external.yaml
  • Revert GatewayClass controllerName back to traefik.io/gateway-controller (the hardcoded Traefik default — no override mechanism exists in v3.7.0)

After merge

GatewayClasses will remain Unknown until a separate solution for internal/external separation is implemented (the labelSelector approach needs further investigation).

## URGENT — Traefik pods are CrashLoopBackOff The merged PR #135 added `--providers.kubernetesgateway.controllerName` as an `additionalArguments` entry. Traefik v3.7.0 does not support this flag and fails immediately on startup. Old replica sets are still running (one pod each) but new pods cannot come up. ## Fix - Remove `additionalArguments` from both `values-internal.yaml` and `values-external.yaml` - Revert GatewayClass `controllerName` back to `traefik.io/gateway-controller` (the hardcoded Traefik default — no override mechanism exists in v3.7.0) ## After merge GatewayClasses will remain `Unknown` until a separate solution for internal/external separation is implemented (the `labelSelector` approach needs further investigation).

Traefik v3.7.0 does not expose controllerName as a CLI flag or chart value.
Both GatewayClasses use the default traefik.io/gateway-controller so that
both Traefik instances (which also default to that name) will accept them.
Internal/external separation is handled by the existing labelSelector on
each provider.
