Capsule: hostnameRegexHandler.OnUpdate validates stale (old) Tenant regex, allowing invalid AllowedHostnames regex to bypass webhook validation

Type: advisorySource: OSV1 source record

### Summary A parameter order bug in `internal/webhook/tenant/validation/hostname_regex.go` causes the `hostnameRegexHandler.OnUpdate` webhook to validate the **old** Tenant object's `AllowedHostnames.Regex` instead of the **new** one being submitted. This allows an invalid (malformed) regex to bypass admission validation and be persisted to etcd, causing a Denial of Service for all Ingress operations within the affected tenant. ### Details The `TypedHandler[T]` interface defines `OnUpdate` as: ```go // handlers.go OnUpdate(c client.Client, reader client.Reader, obj T, old T, decoder admission.Decoder, recorder events.EventRecorder) Func // ^^^ NEW ^^^ OLD ``` The dispatcher in `handler.go:93` calls: ```go hndl.OnUpdate(c, reader, tnt, old, decoder, recorder) // ^^^ NEW ^^^ OLD ``` However, `hostnameRegexHandler.OnUpdate` in `hostname_regex.go` declares its parameters in **reversed order**: ```go // hostname_regex.go (BUGGY) func (h *hostnameRegexHandler) OnUpdate( _ client.Client, _ client.Reader, old *capsulev1beta2.Tenant, // ← receives NEW tenant (mislabeled as old) tnt *capsulev1beta2.Tenant, // ← receives OLD tenant (mislabeled as tnt) ... ) handlers.Func { return func(...) *admission.Response { if err := h.validate(tnt, req); err != nil { // ← validates OLD, not NEW return err } return nil } } ``` All 11 other handlers in the same package declare `(tnt, old)` correctly. `hostname_regex.go` is the only one with the swap. As a result, when a Cluster Admin updates `Tenant
