#988) highAvailability.mode enum (none/ha-preferred/ha-enforced) mapped through global.yaml.gotmpl to chart values for the stateless and hot-path tiers: replicaCount, hostname pod anti-affinity, zone topology spread, PDBs (including a new nvcf-api PDB template), and a surge rolling-update strategy. Default mode: none leaves single-node installs unchanged. Closes #986, #987, #988.
Tier-2 quorum pod anti-affinity (Cassandra/NATS/OpenBao), soft/hard by mode. NATS JetStream RF=2 wired via env on the stream creators (nvcf-api, invocation). Cassandra already uses NetworkTopologyStrategy + LOCAL_QUORUM (documented). Adds docs/v0.6.1/high-availability.md operator guide. Part of epic #985.
Spread the 3 Cassandra/NATS/OpenBao quorum peers across topology.kubernetes.io/zone via nvcf.ha.tier2TopologySpread, gated behind highAvailability.tier2.topologySpread (default off; soft by default, strict: true for >=3-AZ hard spread). Documents the WaitForFirstConsumer StorageClass, >=3-AZ, dedicated node-pool enablement, and Cassandra rack=AZ requirements. Part of epic #985.

Use the Helm release name for the admin proxy selectors.
The helper calls use admin-token-issuer-proxy, but the Helmfile release is admin-issuer-proxy. The chart sets app.kubernetes.io/instance from .Release.Name; fullnameOverride changes only resource names. Change both instance arguments to admin-issuer-proxy, or the HA selectors match no pods and do not spread them.

Make placement and AZ-loss guarantees conditional.
ha-preferred uses soft scheduling. It does not guarantee distinct nodes or zones. Tier-2 zone spreading is off by default. A three-member quorum across two AZs can lose quorum when the AZ with two members fails. These statements can make operators expect resilience that the selected configuration does not provide.

Part of the Self-Hosted Control-Plane Resiliency epic (#985), extending #989.
Stacked on #1679 (Tier-2 anti-affinity + JetStream RF + HA docs). Base is
shobham/989-tier2-anti-affinityso the diff stays focused; retarget up the stack as the lower PRs merge.What this PR does
Adds zone-level spread for the Tier-2 quorum services. #1679 guarantees the 3 Cassandra/NATS/OpenBao peers land on distinct nodes; this makes them land in distinct availability zones so a single-AZ loss can't take a quorum.

Correct behavior depends on operator-provided infrastructure that the value layer can't guarantee:
