Image: socketdev/socket-registry-firewall:2.12.0
Release run

Manual review is required before merging:

• Review the release changes for configuration or behavioral changes.
• Update deployment documentation and migration examples where needed.
• Check the Helm chart version and CloudFormation defaults, including other pending version PRs.

Note

Low Risk
Version-only default updates across Helm and CloudFormation; runtime behavior changes only if operators rely on these defaults without reviewing the 2.12.0 release notes.

Overview
Bumps default deployment pins from firewall image 2.11.1 to 2.12.0 and the Helm chart from 0.11.11 to 0.11.12, keeping appVersion, image.tag, and CloudFormation defaults aligned.

Helm: Chart.yaml appVersion and values.yaml / README default image.tag move to 2.12.0; chart version is 0.11.12.

AWS EKS CloudFormation: firewall-eks.yaml defaults for ChartVersion and FirewallImageTag, the example values/dns-override.values.yaml pin, and cloudformation/README.md documentation all reflect the new versions.
