fix: standardize component naming to hyphenated format

[Copilot]

Description

Component names were inconsistent across the codebase: directories and images used backend-py/backend-java (correct), while Helm values, templates, and workflows used backendPy/backendJava/backendGo (incorrect) or backendpy/backendjava (incorrect).

Standardized all references to hyphenated format: backend-py, backend-java, backend-go.

Changes

Helm Charts (charts/app/)

• Renamed template directories: backendPy/ → backend-py/, backendJava/ → backend-java/
• Renamed template files: backendPy-*.yaml → backend-py-*.yaml, backendJava-*.yaml → backend-java-*.yaml
• Updated values.yaml keys: backendPy: → backend-py:, backendJava: → backend-java:, backendGo: → backend-go:
• Updated helper template functions and Values references to use (index .Values "backend-py") syntax
• Updated Kubernetes labels: backendpy → backend-py, backendjava → backend-java

GitHub Workflows (.github/workflows/)

• pentests.yml: Updated matrix names to use hyphenated format
• merge.yml: Updated --set parameters and integration test URLs
• pr-validate.yml: Updated markdown link URLs

Type of change

• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)

Breaking Changes

⚠️ Route hostnames and resource names will change:

• Before: {release}-backendpy, {release}-backendjava
• After: {release}-backend-py, {release}-backend-java

Existing deployments using Helm values with old naming (backendPy, backendJava, backendGo) must update to new naming (backend-py, backend-java, backend-go).

How Has This Been Tested?

• Helm template syntax validation (helm template with test values)
• Verified route hostnames render with hyphenated format
• Verified Kubernetes labels use hyphenated format
• CodeQL security scan passed
• Code review completed

Pull request overview

This PR standardizes component naming across the codebase from inconsistent camelCase/lowercase formats (backendPy, backendJava, backendGo, backendpy, backendjava) to a consistent hyphenated format (backend-py, backend-java, backend-go).

Changes:

• Renamed Helm template directories and files from backendPy/ and backendJava/ to backend-py/ and backend-java/
• Updated values.yaml keys to use hyphenated format for all three backends
• Modified GitHub workflow files to reference hyphenated component names in deployment parameters, test matrices, and URLs
• Updated Kubernetes labels and network policies to use hyphenated naming
