mathias 9cd3f7e934 fix(dex): passwordName must match Dex's internal passwordID() — maps non-[a-z0-9-] to '-'
CI / Lint / Test / Vet (push) Failing after 12s
CI / Build & Import (push) Has been skipped
Tapir used human-readable substitutions ('@' -> '-at-', '.' -> '-dot-') when
deriving the Password CR name from an email. Dex's internal passwordID() maps
every non-[a-z0-9-] character to plain '-'. This caused a name mismatch:
Tapir wrote the CR as 'mathias-at-d-ma-dot-be', Dex looked it up as
'mathias-d-ma-be', got not-found, and returned 'Invalid credentials' on every
invite login — while static configmap passwords (a different code path) worked
fine. Diagnosed by adding the email to staticPasswords and confirming login
succeeded, proving the kubernetes CR lookup was the failure point.

mathias c812c71ecc fix(dex): store raw bcrypt hash in Password CR, not base64-encoded
CI / Lint / Test / Vet (push) Successful in 26s
CI / Build & Import (push) Successful in 12s
The original NOTE claimed Dex's kubernetes storage types Hash as []byte,
requiring the bcrypt string to be base64-encoded before storage. This was
wrong: Dex v2.41 stores and compares the hash field as a plain string. The
base64-encoding caused every invite login to fail with 'Invalid credentials'
because Dex passed the base64 bytes (starting with 'J' not '$') directly to
bcrypt. Static passwords in the configmap always used raw bcrypt strings and
worked fine — confirming the dynamic CR encoding was the bug.

mathiasandClaude Opus 4.8 e44485df16 feat(dex): in-cluster Password CR client for local-password accounts
Writes passwords.dex.coreos.com CRs against the in-cluster Kubernetes
API using the pod's service-account token + cluster CA (no kubectl /
client-go dependency). NewPasswordClient returns ErrNotInCluster off
cluster so the web layer degrades gracefully in dev.

Load-bearing: Dex's kubernetes storage types Password.Hash as []byte,
which k8s JSON-marshals as base64 — so the `hash` field carries the
base64 of the bcrypt string, not the raw string. Storing the raw string
makes Dex's base64-decode-on-login produce garbage and every login fail.

409 -> ErrPasswordExists, 401/403 -> ErrForbidden (RBAC missing) so the
handler can give precise messages. Tested against an httptest TLS server.

bcrypt cost-12 hashing lives in the web handler; golang.org/x/crypto was
already a transitive dep (now promoted in go.sum).
