Release notes for version 0.53.1

Release date: 25 Oct 2026

• bump version of VM components to v1.154.1, which fixes delayed requests in vmauth when a request with an Authorization header is matched to unauthorized_user. See VictoriaMetrics#11774.
• add vmselect/vminsert/vmstorage/vmauth's service.portOverrides, a map keyed by Service port name to override port, protocol, targetPort, nodePort and/or appProtocol. It applies to every rendered Service port, including http[], extraPorts[] and protocol-specific ports (e.g. clusternative, graphite-tcp, influx-tcp). See #3223.
• fix the default vmauth route map: src_paths were rendered as /select/* and /insert/*, which vmauth anchors as regexes and therefore never matched request paths such as /select/0/prometheus/api/v1/query. They are now /select/.* and /insert/.*, and /admin/tenants is routed to vmselect so the vmui tenant selector works through vmauth.
