cmd/migrate previously ran a check-then-apply loop on a *pgxpool.Pool
with no locking, so two backend pods starting at the same time (multi-
replica Deployment, scale-up, or a manual run overlapping with pod
startup) could both pass the EXISTS check on a pending migration and
race on the DDL or the schema_migrations INSERT, crashing the loser.
Take a single connection from the pool, hold a session-level
pg_advisory_lock for the entire migration loop, and release it on the
way out. We use the blocking variant so a late arriver queues behind
the current runner and then no-ops on the EXISTS checks instead of
crash-looping. The loop deliberately stays outside a transaction so
existing CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY migrations keep working.
Also refresh the values.yaml / backend.yaml comments next to
backend.replicas: the chart still ships replicas: 1 by default, but
that is now a recommendation (Recreate strategy, no leader split), not
a correctness requirement.

Adds a value (default true for backward compatibility) that gates the
uploads PersistentVolumeClaim, the backend container's volumeMount, and
the pod-spec volume. Operators who serve uploads from S3 (S3_BUCKET set)
can now set backend.uploads.persistence.enabled=false to drop the PVC
entirely, removing the ReadWriteOnce Multi-Attach barrier on the storage
side for replicas > 1.
Also makes the PVC accessModes configurable (default [ReadWriteOnce]) so
operators with a ReadWriteMany-capable StorageClass can share the
uploads volume across replicas without object storage.
Documentation: values.yaml comments and the SELF_HOSTING.md resource
list are updated to describe the new toggle.

* feat(self-host): DISABLE_WORKSPACE_CREATION env var (MUL-2777, #3433)
When self-hosters set DISABLE_WORKSPACE_CREATION=true, POST /api/workspaces
returns 403 for every caller and the UI hides every "Create workspace"
affordance (sidebar, modal, /workspaces/new page, onboarding Step 2). This
closes the gap where ALLOW_SIGNUP=false still let any signed-in user open
an isolated workspace the platform admin couldn't see.
- server: new Config.DisableWorkspaceCreation, gate in CreateWorkspace,
workspace_creation_disabled in /api/config, Go tests.
- frontend: new workspaceCreationDisabled in configStore, hide sidebar
entry, swap NewWorkspacePage / CreateWorkspaceModal / onboarding
StepWorkspace to a "creation disabled, ask for invite" state when the
flag is on, EN + zh-Hans locale strings.
- ops: .env.example, docker-compose.selfhost, helm values + configmap,
SELF_HOSTING.md, SELF_HOSTING_ADVANCED.md, environment-variables docs
(EN + zh).

* fix(onboarding): drive create path off workspaceCreationAllowed (#3433)
PR #3441 review: when DISABLE_WORKSPACE_CREATION=true and the user already
has a workspace, StepWorkspace still walked the resume copy (`headline_resume`
/ `lede_resume` mentioning "or start another") and `creatingActive` ignored
the flag, leaving a stale clickable create CTA possible if /api/config
arrived late.
Refactor StepWorkspace to derive a single `workspaceCreationAllowed`
boolean from the config store. It now drives:
- Initial `mode` state (defaults to "existing" when disabled + reusing so
the CTA is pre-armed for the only valid action).
- `creatingActive` so the footer CTA cannot fall back into the create
branch even mid-render.
- Eyebrow / headline / lede strings — adds
`creation_disabled_{eyebrow,headline,lede}_resume` (EN + zh-Hans) for
the disabled + reusing variant.
Tests: cover the three reachable shapes — flag off + no existing, flag on
+ no existing, flag on + existing.

* Include k8s deployment instructions
* Use helm for deployment
* docs(self-host): add Helm / Kubernetes deployment to quickstart (en + zh)
* fix(helm): gate backend ExternalName alias behind a value
The unprefixed Service/backend in the chart is load-bearing, but as
written it limits the chart to one release per namespace and fails
helm install whenever a Service/backend already exists in the
namespace (without --take-ownership).
Gate the alias behind frontend.compatibility.backendAlias (default
true, so existing installs are unchanged). Operators running a web
image with a patched REMOTE_API_URL can set it to false to drop the
Service entirely. Document the one-release-per-namespace constraint
and the opt-out in values.yaml and the SELF_HOSTING.md Kubernetes
section.
Addresses review item #1 on PR #2377.
* fix(helm): add backend startupProbe so cold installs survive migrations
The entrypoint runs `./migrate up` before serving traffic. On a cold
cluster (Postgres still coming up) this can take minutes, during which
the livenessProbe (initialDelaySeconds 30 / periodSeconds 30) trips and
restarts the pod 1-2 times.
Add a startupProbe on /healthz (failureThreshold 30, periodSeconds 10,
~5 min budget). Kubernetes disables liveness/readiness until it passes,
so migrations finish without the pod being killed, and the aggressive
livenessProbe is untouched for steady-state. Update the SELF_HOSTING.md
install step, which no longer expects 1-2 restarts.
Addresses review item #2 on PR #2377.
* fix(helm): roll backend pods on config/secret change via checksum annotations
envFrom does not watch the referenced ConfigMap/Secret, and helm
upgrade alone does not change the pod template hash, so editing
values.yaml + `helm upgrade` left the old backend pods running stale
config.
Add checksum/config (hash of the rendered configmap.yaml) and
checksum/secret (hash of the live existingSecret via lookup, since it
is created out-of-band and has no chart template) to the backend pod
template. Config edits now actually re-roll the backend on upgrade,
and Secret rotations do too. lookup is empty under
`helm template`/`--dry-run`; that placeholder is harmless and
documented inline.
Addresses review item #3 on PR #2377.
* docs(self-host): sync quickstart with new startupProbe behavior
SELF_HOSTING.md was updated to reflect that the backend now stays
Running but not Ready while Postgres comes up (startupProbe absorbs
it, so no restart), but the EN/ZH quickstart docs still described the
pre-startupProbe behavior of "may restart 1-2 times". Bring them in
line.
