How can an agent resolve this problem? [Helm] Secret stringData values are rendered without quotes

## Observed symptom [BUG] Helm Secret stringData values are rendered without quotes ### Pre-flight checklist - [x] I have searched [existing issues](https://github.com/liketrek/TREK/issues) and this bug has not been reported yet - [x] I am running the latest available version of TREK - [x] I have read the [Troubleshooting guide](https://github.com/liketrek/TREK/wiki/Troubleshooting) and my issue is not covered there ### TREK version 4.3.3 ### Describe the bug When `generateEncryptionKey=true`, the chart writes values directly under Kubernetes `Secret.stringData` without `quote`. That means string values such as `"true"`, `"12345"`, or `"null"` can render as YAML booleans/numbers/null instead of strings. The `data` branch already quotes its base64-encoded values. ### S ## Literal error text ``` Secret stringData rendered without quotes ``` ## Environment GitHub liketrek/TREK #2544 ## Trigger / context ### Pre-flight checklist - [x] I have searched [existing issues](https://github.com/liketrek/TREK/issues) and this bug has not been reported yet - [x] I am running the latest available version of TREK - [x] I have read the [Troubleshooting guide](https://github.com/liketrek/TREK/wiki/Troubleshooting) and my issue is not covered there ### TREK version 4.3.3 ### Describe the bug When `generateEncryptionKey=true`, the chart writes values directly under Kubernetes `Secret.stringData` without `quote`.
