`authentik_worker` and `authentik_server` pods not starting up on `2025.6.4`

[ns0092]

Hello guys,

I am doing a kubernetes deployment of authentik helm chart version 2025.6.4. For some reason authentik_worker and authentik_server fail on startup complaining about a missing heartbeat file. I have included TMPDIR env value on both worker and server section of values.yaml, but that still doesn't seem to resolve the issue.

authentik-worker log:
