Set the chart's placeholder version to 0.4.0

Mirrors charts/terdut-server's own deployment.yaml change: v0.36.0 put
the sweeper, the notifier and the migration runner each behind a
Postgres advisory lock, and gave incident creation its own conflict
resolution, so the Recreate strategy and replicas-stays-at-1 guidance
this controller carried (explicitly tracking that chart's comment)
are no longer load-bearing.

spec.replicas' +kubebuilder:default moves 1 -> 2 (config/crd/bases and
the chart's CRD template regenerated via controller-gen and
kubebuilder's helm plugin respectively, then hand-verified identical
to the generator's own output rather than trusting a bulk regen --
the plugin's --output-dir charts writes a fresh charts/chart scaffold
rather than updating charts/terdut-operator in place, so only the
diff was taken, not the whole tree). terdutserver_deployment.go's
same-value fallback (reachable only for a TerdutServer stored before
this default existed) moves with it, and its Strategy changes from
Recreate to RollingUpdate with no explicit maxUnavailable/maxSurge --
the 25%/25% default rounds to 0/1 at replicas: 2, already
zero-downtime.

DESIGN.md's three places asserting multi-replica isn't a supported
topology (the illustrative spec.replicas YAML, spec.pod.affinity's
rationale, and the HPA deferred-feature note) are corrected to match;
the HPA note now gives its own standing reason (no scaling metric or
bounds decided yet) rather than a contradiction that no longer holds.

The chart's optional terdutServer.replicas sample value moves 1 -> 2
alongside it. image.tag must be v0.36.0 or newer for any of this to
hold -- stated in both the CRD field's doc comment and the chart
value's comment, not enforced in code, same stance the chart takes on
every other version-coupled assumption.

+and `/api/admin/settings` is deliberately human-only on terdut-server
+(`niklas/terdut-server#23` has the full reasoning — widening that gate was
+the wrong fix).
+
+The real path in: `02-team-platform.yaml` turns on `spec.invite`, so
+Platform's own `TerdutTeam` mints a real invite link with its own
+already-working team-scoped credential (the same reach that lets it manage
+its own escalation policy, dead man's switches and integrations — owner-
+equivalent, confirmed in terdut-server's `SERVICE-ACCOUNTS.md`). Invite
+redemption bypasses `signup_mode` entirely, so this needs no admin
+credential at all:
 
 ```sh
-# Which namespace the operator itself runs in:
+secretname=$(kubectl -n terdut-operator-demo get terdutteam terdutteam-platform \
-kubectl get deploy -A -l control-plane=controller-manager
+  -o jsonpath='{.status.inviteSecretRef.name}')
-
+url=$(kubectl -n terdut-operator-demo get secret "$secretname" -o jsonpath='{.data.url}' | base64 -d)
-# The Secret holding the operator's own admin token for this TerdutServer
+echo "$url"   # open this, or POST /api/signup with {"invite": "<the token after invite=>", ...}
-# (cross-namespace from terdut-operator-demo, per DESIGN.md §7):
-secretname=$(kubectl -n terdut-operator-demo get terdutserver terdut-demo \
-  -o jsonpath='{.status.credentialsSecretRef.name}')
-token=$(kubectl -n <operator-namespace-from-above> get secret "$secretname" \

-
-curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings \
-  -H "Authorization: Bearer $token" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-  -d '{"signup_mode":"open"}'
 ```
 
-Then sign up through the UI as a normal human account. `04-escalation-platform.yaml`
+`04-escalation-platform.yaml` names a user `alice` at its first escalation

+# Exposing a TerdutServer
+
+This operator never manages external exposure/ingress for `TerdutServer`,
+in any form — a permanent non-goal (`DESIGN.md` §1), not a missing
+feature. Some installs won't expose it outside the cluster at all (see
+`examples/demo`, which just port-forwards); others will put it behind
+whatever their cluster already uses. That choice is entirely yours, not
+the operator's.
+
+The only contract the operator gives you to build on: a plain `ClusterIP`
+Service, named after the `TerdutServer` CR (same name, same namespace),
+with a port named `http` (`spec.networking.servicePort`, default `8080`).
+Everything here targets exactly that Service — none of it is applied by
+`examples/demo`'s `kustomization.yaml`, and none of it depends on anything
+the operator creates beyond that one Service.
+
+Pick whichever matches your cluster:
+
+- **`httproute.yaml`** — a [Gateway API](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/)
+  `HTTPRoute`, attached to a `Gateway` you already have.
+- **`istio-virtualservice.yaml`** — an Istio `VirtualService`, attached to
+  a `Gateway` (Istio's own CRD, not Gateway API's) you already have.
+- **A plain `Ingress`** needs no example here — it's the same idea with
+  one fewer layer of indirection: an `Ingress` with a single rule whose
+  `backend.service.name`/`port.name` point at the `TerdutServer`'s Service
+  and `http` port.
+
+Remember to set `spec.networking.hostname` on the `TerdutServer` itself to
+whatever hostname you expose it on — that's not read by the operator for
+any of this, but terdut-server uses it for its own absolute links
+(notifications, OIDC redirect URIs).
