In `@docs/design/gittarget-api-wave.md`:
- Around line 148-151: Add spec.allowedSourceNamespaces.names to the complete
GitTarget example, using a single exact entry matching layout.namespace ("prod")
and omitting any selector.
In `@docs/design/gittarget-layout-implementation-plan.md`:
- Around line 79-84: Extend the corpus harness procedure to load each scenario’s
expected-status.yaml, capture the generated worktree status after flushing,
normalize it using the harness’s established comparison conventions, and assert
it against the fixture alongside the existing patch comparison. Define this
status assertion path before enabling the status cases described by the
expected-status.yaml requirements.
- Around line 190-194: Define and test the SingleNamespace write-boundary
admission check so every incoming object’s source namespace is compared with
layout.namespace, including when allowedSourceNamespaces is omitted, and reject
mismatches before file creation. Enforce the exact matching policy that
allowedSourceNamespaces, when set, contains only layout.namespace with no
selector, rejecting mismatched policies during admission.
- Around line 159-164: Define durable ownership and recovery for the Auto
resolution across BranchWorker recreation, preserving the resolution associated
with observedRevision R when a changed layout signal arrives. Update
WorkerManager/BranchWorker recovery so the recreated worker restores the
existing pin instead of rescanning to select a different kind or re-laying out
the folder, and add a regression covering revision R, worker replacement, the
changed signal, and no re-layout.
In
`@docs/design/layout-examples/brownfield-kustomize/repository/deployment-web.yaml`:
- Around line 17-19: Update the web deployment and Service configuration so the
Service targetPort matches the NGINX listener on port 80; change the Service
targetPort to 80 rather than relying on the containerPort metadata, unless an
explicit NGINX configuration is added to listen on 8080.
In `@docs/design/layout-examples/homelab-argocd/README.md`:
- Around line 24-27: Update the documentation around the Kustomize root and
Application files to replace “source namespace” with “Application namespace” or
“output namespace,” clarifying that the kustomization.yaml namespace sets
Application.metadata.namespace rather than the namespace watched by WatchRule.
- Around line 8-17: Clarify the fixture-root mapping in both affected READMEs:
in docs/design/layout-examples/homelab-argocd/README.md at lines 8-17, state
that repository/ represents bootstrap/argocd-applications/; in
docs/design/layout-examples/homelab-cluster-tree/README.md at lines 9-17, state
that repository/ represents clusters/home/. Alternatively, update each tree to
include the repository/ prefix.
In
`@docs/design/layout-examples/homelab-cluster-tree/repository/media/apps/deployments/jellyfin.yaml`:
- Around line 14-17: Add pod and container security settings to the Jellyfin
deployment: configure a non-root-compatible pod security context, require the
container to run as non-root, and disable privilege escalation. Ensure the
selected user and filesystem settings are compatible with Jellyfin’s required
write paths, validating permissions for any writable directories.
In `@docs/design/layout-examples/homelab-flux/config/gittarget.yaml`:
- Around line 6-20: Update the GitTarget configuration so HelmRelease inline
values are protected at the field level rather than relying on
GitTarget.spec.encryption; alternatively, remove HelmRelease from the associated
WatchRule. Preserve processing for other supported resources.
In `@internal/git/placement_test.go`:
- Around line 754-779: Add coverage around
TestPlacement_DeclaredSubdirectory_RegistersWithTheAncestorKustomization using a
non-empty WriteScope with an external-base overlay and the declared configmap
path. Verify the overlay kustomization registers configmaps/cache.yaml, while
the external base kustomization remains unchanged; include both positive and
negative assertions.

Add docs/design/layout-examples/: seven scenarios (brownfield kustomize, external base/overlay, homelab Argo CD / Flux / cluster tree, KRM app configuration, plus shared prerequisites) that each pair a repository subtree, the GitTarget and watcher objects describing it, a representative live input, and the exact expected Git patch. Update the layout model, the API-wave doc, the direction note, and the docs index to point at the examples. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add docs/design/gittarget-layout-implementation-plan.md: the build order for the layout model and the GitTarget API wave. Exactly one release is breaking; #295's correctness fixes and the worked examples as an executable corpus come first, status.layout moves ahead of spec.layout so Observe has something to read, and spec.layout follows once the corpus states its definition of done. Folds in six design changes the examples produced: check the namespace agreement when present rather than requiring it, add post-scan validation for per-kind field rules under Auto, drop kind: Template from the wave, keep Auto as the CRD default, keep two names for the two intervals, and record the namespace-local GitProvider duplication as a gap. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…aintainer The layout question — given a live object, which file in which folder receives it, and what else has to change so that file is reachable — had grown to eight documents spread across spec/, design/ and future/. Following the argument meant knowing which of the three folders each step lived in, and the two densest pages were the two least likely to be found: new-file-placement-rules.md is the current-behaviour contract the whole proposal exists to replace, and contextual-namespace.md is the inference writeNamespace supersedes. docs/layout/ is therefore organized by TOPIC, which is a deliberate exception to the rule in INDEX.md that every other folder is picked by lifecycle. Lifecycle still decides whether a page binds, so layout/README.md labels each entry with the class it would have had, and INDEX.md records the exception beside the existing one rather than leaving the rule quietly broken. spec/README.md says that two of its contracts now live there and bind exactly as if they had not moved. All 60 files move with git mv, so history follows them. Filenames drop the prefix the folder now supplies (gittarget-layout-model.md -> model.md, layout-examples/ -> examples/). Link targets are rewritten by resolving each one against its old location and re-expressing it against the new, which reaches inbound links from 72 files; repo-relative citations inside Go comments are rewritten too, since doccheck resolves those and eight files cite the two moved specs by path. Stale link LABELS are normalized to match, because a label reading gittarget-layout-model.md over a target of model.md is how the next rename gets missed. The Go changes are comment-only. Also adds flux-maintainer-review.md, a second external review reading the model, the plan and the six worked examples as if the API were proposed for the GitOps Toolkit, with Flux's own source as ground truth rather than recollection. L1-L27, with one blocker: homelab-flux targets clusters/home/flux-system, which flux bootstrap owns, so the example teaches the operator to become a second writer in a folder Flux reconciles. It ends on the piece the first review did not reach, whether ClusterProvider.spec.allowSourceNamespaceOverride should become an enum and whether to adopt Flux's serviceAccountName impersonation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ter-wide * The source-scope proposal renamed the field to a sourceNamespaces enum; it goes back to a boolean named allowAnySourceNamespace, because there are two states and no third one is in view — impersonation and source-side selectors are both out, so an enum would only leave room for something nobody can name. Records why the name keeps Source, and why allowCrossNamespace was not taken: Flux's cross-namespace vocabulary means references within one cluster, while here the far side is a namespace in a different cluster. Also prices the recommended cluster-wide reading of sourceNamespace: "*" against the code rather than in the abstract. CellKey already documents an empty namespace as a cluster-wide cell and both the watch and list paths already branch on it, so the change is a deletion in the planner rather than new machinery — and CellKey's own doc comment records the trap, that a cluster-wide cell is a peer of a named-namespace cell and not a replacement, since each rule carries its own operations filter. Adds the facts note on Kubernetes impersonation and Flux identity, and indexes the proposal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The corpus harness in PR 1 turns these scenarios into the definition of done, so the fixtures have to be true before they become executable. Seven findings from the maintainer review, all in the examples and the plan. L1, the one a Flux maintainer would stop at: homelab-flux pointed its GitTarget at clusters/home/flux-system, which flux bootstrap owns. An operator adding resources: entries there is a second writer in a folder Flux's own sync loop reconciles — the example taught the opposite of the rule it exists to demonstrate. It now runs two targets on two layers, infrastructure/home/sources and apps/home/media, with the bootstrap directory shown and left alone, and the HelmRelease carrying targetNamespace so the declaration living in flux-system no longer installs jellyfin there. The rule generalizes past the example, so it is recorded in the support boundary as the repository-level peer of render-root scoping: being reconciled by a controller is the tell, not the licence. L2: every input/ fixture was the Git document with namespace: added back, so the scenarios asserted placement and nothing else. The two a Flux or Argo reviewer will look at hardest now carry what the API server actually hands over — including argocd.argoproj.io/tracking-id, whose leaking into Git hard-fails another Application's sync, and finalizers.fluxcd.io. The expected patches are unchanged, which is the point: the diff between a realistic input and an unchanged patch is the sanitization assertion. L13: every index line in every patch was fabricated — ten checked against git hash-object, none matching. They are gone, and each patch was verified to git apply against its scenario's stated starting state, which is the property the index line was pretending to have. L12: krm-app-configuration's repository/ and its patch described different schemas, with theme a scalar in one and a mapping in the other. One schema now, and the patch bodies are byte-identical to the committed files. L14: five of six scenarios opened at mode: Write while the README called Observe the adoption path. Every brownfield scenario now opens in Observe and shows the observed status.layout before the patch; krm-app-configuration stays in Write as the empty-repository exception. L21: _cluster and the collapsed core group are documented in the canonical grammar but not where a reader meets them, so homelab-cluster-tree names both and links it — an underscore is invalid in a namespace name, so the sentinel cannot collide. L23: the plan claimed the brownfield example declares an invalid Auto/Flat combination. It does not; Auto resolves to Kustomize there. Reworded to the latent case, which is the better illustration anyway, because it is also the argument for pinning. The review records which findings this answers, and where. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…n it The review was a snapshot of one reading at f37a7ba, and it has been a backlog ever since. Most of it shipped (F1, F2, F3, F5, F7, F8, F11 and F12 on feat/flux-status-contract), F4 was resolved the other way, and the rest was already sequenced elsewhere. What was left was a 732-line document whose main function was to make the work look bigger than it is. Everything still live keeps a home: - The kstatus contract and the one deliberate departure from abnormal-true polarity are already spec/status-conditions-guide.md, which is the document that binds. The review only described them. - suspend, interval, the reconcile-request annotation, the CommitRequest lifecycle hole, the reference types, the TooManyStreams cap and the default ClusterProvider message were already sequenced in layout/api-wave.md. - F9 was the one finding with no other home, so it moves in full: what the apiserver does to a status write on an object whose stored enum value is no longer valid, why CRD Validation Ratcheting bounds the exposure to older clusters, the envtest that settles it, and the fallback if it fails. The F-numbers go with it. They were never stable identifiers — placement- visibility-and-declared-defaults.md has its own F1-F12 — so a bare "F6" was already ambiguous, and it is worse once the document defining one of the two sets is gone. Each site now names the thing instead of the label, which is shorter everywhere it appears. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…t express Reverses this document's own thesis. It argued that a path template is the wrong primitive and proposed replacing spec.placement with a spec.layout discriminated union. That argument rested on five points, and three of them were retired by #319: a new file is now registered with the nearest kustomization that governs it, whatever chose its path. Once the template is no longer asked to express "beside this folder's one kustomization", the discriminator has nothing left to discriminate — registration was always the best idea in the model, and it is the part that already shipped. So the template stays and two additive fields join it, each with a default equal to today's behavior. serializeNamespace (Auto, Always, Never) is the one thing a path genuinely cannot express: kustomize takes metadata.namespace from either the document or a governing root, and where the file sits decides neither. It is not called writeNamespace because "write" is this API's most loaded word — mode: Write, the write boundary, the write jail, WriteBoundaryRefused — so writeNamespace: Never invites the reading "never write to this namespace", a permission, which is exactly what the neighbouring sourceNamespace fields are. kustomizeRoot (Adopt, Create, Require) answers "do we want kustomize" on one axis: what to do when no kustomization governs the path. When one does, every value registers, because that is the invariant. Adopt is today's behavior, Create is the empty-repository bootstrap that was the last surviving argument from the old thesis, and Require is the safety value the Never guard needs — if the root disappears, stop writing rather than commit files nothing renders. Four kustomize facts are measured rather than recalled, and three contradict assumptions the earlier model was built on: a root does not require a flat folder, nested roots work one per subfolder and supply their own namespace, there is no ambient pickup (globs and bare directories both fail), and an unlisted file in a listed subdirectory renders nothing. The first is why the path may be anything; the third is why registration must be an invariant. Two values are considered and not taken, with reasons. Ignore is rejected: spec.path already expresses it, since the ancestor walk is bounded by the write jail, and it is the only candidate that changes what happens when a root IS present — the half that should be invariant. CreatePerDirectory is deferred with its trigger recorded, because fact 2 proves it would work and it is what would make Never safe in a multi-namespace tree. Also takes the maintainer review's status findings, since they are decisions this document owes: renderRootReason becomes a condition reason rather than a bespoke field, the accumulating counters go to metrics where placements_total already carries them, and conditions plus observedGeneration are shown. The headline is what this deletes: spec.layout, kind, scope, kustomize.create, the LayoutProfile question, the immutability machinery, and the migration. The layout model was the largest breaking change in the queue; on this shape it is not a breaking change at all. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…s, and retire the review
The model reversed: the path template stays, and two additive fields join it.
Everything downstream still described spec.layout, so this carries it through and
then removes the review, because every one of its twenty-seven findings is now
either built, folded into the document that owns it, or dissolved with the field
it was about.
The examples. Every GitTarget drops its layout block for serializeNamespace and
kustomizeRoot. Two of them show Require doing real work: homelab-argocd and
homelab-flux omit metadata.namespace on the strength of a kustomization.yaml the
REPOSITORY OWNER controls, and Require is what turns "they deleted the namespace:
line" from a silent relocation into a refusal. empty-repo-bootstrap shows the
other pairing, Create with Never, which is the only way an empty folder can make
the omission provable rather than trusted.
Three folders are renamed for what they exercise: external-base-overlay had no
external base (it is one directory up, in the same repository, and "external
base" names what the support boundary refuses), krm-app-configuration used an
acronym that appears in neither Flux's nor Argo's documentation, and
homelab-cluster-tree was named by locale in a family otherwise named by tool.
Their GitTargets are renamed on one convention, "name the folder's contents",
which retires GitTarget/flux-system in namespace flux-system.
One correction the review missed: the shipped rung names a new sibling
{name}.yaml (placement.go:235), and every example showed {kindLower}-{name}.yaml,
which is the naming a template has to ask for. The fixtures now show cache.yaml
arriving in a folder of deployment-web.yaml and service-web.yaml — which is worth
more than the correction, because it is where a reader sees that sibling-naming
inference was deliberately deleted. All six patches still git apply against their
stated starting states.
The plans. PR 4 stopped being breaking, so the wave loses its largest member:
PRs 1 through 4, the whole placement story, ship with no coordinated consumer
bump and no migration entry. PR 3 grows the post-scan validation pass, which now
carries three rules instead of one, and takes the status decisions while they are
still free — the resolution reason is a condition reason rather than a bespoke
field, the accumulating counters stay in metrics, conditions and observedGeneration
are in the stanza. Three of the plan's six design changes are marked dissolved
rather than deleted, since a reader who remembers them deserves to know why they
went.
spec.interval reverses: both objects keep the name. One name on two objects is
the convention rather than a smell — it appears on eight Flux kinds meaning the
same thing on each, and GitProvider's is the one that matches most exactly, being
an ls-remote cadence. What is novel is GitTarget's observation pass, and that is a
doc string, not a name.
The review goes. Its authorization half was already answered in
source-scope-simplification.md with its evidence in the impersonation facts note,
so the only thing the file still held was a findings list with nothing left in it.
The one place it was cited as a source — the facts note correcting its claim that
the operator's ClusterRole bounds an impersonated read — now states the wrong
belief without attributing it to a document nobody can open.

…bserve Closes the sourceNamespace: "*" question the source-scope proposal left open. It becomes one cluster-wide list and watch at metav1.NamespaceAll, rejected while allowAnySourceNamespace is false. Both halves of a cell's traffic, because the warm-up list and the watch that follows it are the same collection read two ways and splitting them would mean enumerating namespaces for the replay after all, which is the read the proposal deletes. The plumbing is already there: CellKey documents the empty namespace as cluster-wide and openTargetWatch/openTargetList both branch on it. It is also the proposal's largest efficiency win, one stream and one list per type instead of one per namespace, growing with the cluster. Carries the rest of that proposal into the layout planning, where only the "*" half had landed. Deleting GitTarget.spec.allowedSourceNamespaces breaks the same object B4 breaks, so it rides the same bump or the consumer pays twice; it is also the only member of the wave that makes the API smaller, which is worth saying in a wave that is otherwise all addition. Names the one real interaction: the SelfSubjectAccessReview pass and the adoption dry run are the same shape, asked from opposite sides. Fixes the version-strategy section, which still justified loud rejection with a spec.placement -> spec.layout move that model.md's reversal deleted; the pattern's members are now the source-scope changes. Drops spec.mode: Observe|Write. Over a suspended target it bought only the difference between a pause and a declared posture, an intent distinction paid for with an enum and its own status semantics, and two of the wave's open questions were about the pair rather than about either field. The cost is stated rather than hidden: suspend must keep observing, which deviates from Flux, where suspend stops reconciliation altogether. Re-open trigger recorded. The worked examples follow both decisions, since PR 1 turns them into the corpus: mode: Observe becomes suspend: true, and the allowedSourceNamespaces the deletion removes is gone from all seven targets. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The field was proposed to keep a scan-derived status.placement fresh: a scan happens on a write or a resync, so a target that writes nothing could carry a renderRoot stamped with last week's revision. A timer closes that hole. So does noticing that nothing in this system waits on a timer in the first place. Every input that changes what a scan would conclude arrives as an event, on a watch, in milliseconds. Flux polls because a Git remote cannot be watched, which is exactly why GitProvider.spec.interval stays and is the honest one of the pair; a GitTarget's inputs are API objects we are already streaming. The residual gap is named rather than hidden: a folder someone else edits while our target writes nothing. That is a poll of the output, paid on every target forever to catch it, and the reconcile-request annotation refreshes it on demand. The inverted reading is recorded as the design it is, and as not an ask: a periodic re-list of the API, so the mirror re-derives desired state from the cluster rather than from the event stream, is what would actually correspond to Flux's interval, since desired state lives in the cluster here. Dropping it also removes the last place on GitTarget where "interval means drift correction" had somewhere to attach. It would have driven neither pass a Flux user pictures: the observation pass never writes and never infers a deletion, and the resync mark-and-sweep is enqueued from the watch plane against a cluster-gathered snapshot, because a Git-side scan cannot tell a document whose object is gone from a document nobody has written yet. PR 2 is now one field and one annotation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both pages still sold what the last two commits removed: TODO told a reader the answer to output layout was a spec.layout discriminated union filed as #293, and the index's api-wave entry still had mode: Observe as the adoption path and interval as what keeps the scan-derived status fresh. Neither is true now, and the index is the page a reader consults before opening the document it describes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

changed the title
The plan still described the #295 correctness fixes as PR 1's first half and called PR 1 "this PR". Both fixes are on main and released in 0.42.1 via #319: the ancestor walk and the versionless identity gate. PR 1 is the corpus alone now, and the shipped fixes become the first thing it asserts, which makes the corpus regression cover from its first commit rather than scaffolding for later PRs. Worth stating plainly that the ancestor walk is also why this plan reversed. The visibility page kept two claims the reversal invalidated. It said the CRD default for placement.default was superseded because layout.kind is the defaultable thing; there is no layout.kind, the template stays, and the question is live again — with a weaker objection than before, because a defaulted path into a subdirectory is now registered with the kustomization that governs it. And status.layout is status.placement since spec.layout stopped existing, so the section says so once at the top rather than being renamed throughout, since this page is still where the field is argued. Also fixes a Go comment pointing at docs/design/manifest/version2/, a path that has not existed for some time and that the folder move only half-corrected.

#293 is closed with the evidence that reversed it, and its successor is #322: serializeNamespace and kustomizeRoot as additive fields, which is why the row leaves the wave. The Tier 1 placement-correctness row shipped in 0.42.1 via #319, and B2 carries the status.placement rename. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The examples README still promised spec.layout and spec.mode, neither of which exists in any scenario now: the reversal replaced the first with two additive fields and the second was dropped for suspend. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Four of CodeRabbit's open threads survived the folder move and the reversal. The corpus harness defined patch comparison and nothing else, while two scenario shapes assert an expected-status.yaml instead: a Never declaration with no supplier, and a folder covering two roots. Neither could ever have become executable. The harness now has a status step and a normalization rule for it, dropping the fields a fixture cannot hold stable (the commit hash the harness creates, observedGeneration, timestamps) and comparing parsed YAML rather than text. The Argo CD and multi-namespace scenarios showed a tree rooted at the target's real path while linking a repository/ folder that does not contain that prefix. One sentence each maps the two. contextual-namespace.md's related-links block displayed three filenames that have not existed for some time, two of them pointing at the same relocated document. The index still called #295 filed residue; it shipped in 0.42.1, and saying so where it is named is worth more than a struck row elsewhere, because that is the fix that reversed the model. Also gives the brownfield fixture a container port its image actually listens on. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Do not combine a suspended target with a write patch.
suspend: true means the target scans but writes nothing. The scenario's expected patch adds clusters/home/monitoring/configmaps/grafana-dashboards.yaml, so the documented corpus cannot produce that patch when suspend is honored. Set suspend: false for this write scenario, or replace the patch with a status-only dry-run fixture.
Proposed fix for a write scenario

+ suspend: false📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

A mirrored folder of custom resources is not applicable on its own, and today the only way to get definitions into Git is a WatchRule for customresourcedefinitions, which mirrors every CRD in the cluster. crd-handling.md decides where they should come from instead, and the crd-closure scenario shows the same event under both candidate shapes so the choice can be read rather than argued. Two consumers want different things. Applicability wants the definition in the repository; the per-branch editing cluster only needs it installable at spin-up, which a reference serves better than a copy, because a copy freezes whatever happened to be installed in the cluster we mirrored. For application configuration the app team owns what its CRD looks like anyway, and it belongs beside the controller that serves it. So: default None, opt-in Referenced committing a manifest of names, versions, sources and digests but never schemas, Vendored kept as an escape hatch, and the source cluster as the resolver of last resort. Two facts from the code carry most of the argument. Helm's ownership metadata is NOT stripped on the way to Git, so a vendored CRD arrives still claiming a release in another cluster and walks into Helm's ownership check when applied elsewhere; Flux's labels ARE stripped, so provenance has to be captured live and can never be read back out of the repository. The selection itself is nearly free, since typeset already classifies every served type's origin with the CRD as evidence, and it is derived rather than a label match, which is why #146's objectSelector cannot express it. Records the finding that matters most for the branch-cluster direction: a workload-less cluster cannot run a conversion or defaulting webhook, so installing the CRD is necessary and not always sufficient, and the gap is invisible rather than loud. Three responses are listed; none is free. Also clears the last four "changes mode to Write" leftovers in the scenario READMEs, which the mode drop missed.

Helm install --take-ownership ownership annotations existing resource meta.helm.sh/release-name meta.helm.sh/release-namespace documentation
💡 Result:
Helm provides the --take-ownership flag to allow a release to adopt existing Kubernetes resources that were not previously managed by that release [1][2]. When this flag is used with helm install or helm upgrade, Helm ignores its default ownership checks and adopts the existing objects, subsequently managing them as part of the release [1][2]. How Helm Ownership Works By default, Helm validates ownership of cluster resources to prevent accidental modification or overwrite of objects belonging to other releases or tools [2]. It verifies the presence of specific metadata: 1. Label: app.kubernetes.io/managed-by must be set to Helm [3][4]. 2. Annotations: meta.helm.sh/release-name and meta.helm.sh/release-namespace must match the target release name and namespace [3][4]. If these do not match or are missing, Helm typically throws an error [5][4][2]. Using --take-ownership The --take-ownership flag bypasses these validation checks [6][2]. It is useful for: - Migrating manually created manifests into a Helm chart [2]. - Recovering control when release history or metadata has been lost [2]. - Aligning a chart with resources already existing in the cluster [2]. Best Practices and Caveats - Use --dry-run first to preview which resources will be affected and ensure you do not inadvertently adopt resources you do not want Helm to manage [2]. - --take-ownership does not automatically remove fields that were not in your chart; standard Helm three-way merge (or server-side apply) logic will continue to govern how the live state and chart templates are combined [2]. - In cases where --take-ownership is not used, some users manually patch existing resources with the required labels and annotations using kubectl to force Helm to adopt them [4][7][8]. However, --take-ownership is the official, supported method for this process [2].

Helm 3 storage drivers default Secret ConfigMap SQL HELM_DRIVER official documentation
💡 Result:
In Helm 3, the default storage driver for release information is Secrets, which are stored in the Kubernetes namespace of the release [1][2]. The storage backend used by Helm can be configured using the HELM_DRIVER environment variable [1][3]. The supported values for this variable are: - secret: The default storage driver, using Kubernetes Secrets [1][2]. - configmap: Stores release information in Kubernetes ConfigMaps [1][2]. - sql: A beta storage backend that stores release information in an SQL database [1][2]. - memory: Stores release information in memory (typically used for testing) [3][4]. When using the sql driver, you must also set the HELM_DRIVER_SQL_CONNECTION_STRING environment variable to provide the necessary connection string for your database [1][5]. The SQL backend is primarily intended for scenarios where release information exceeds the 1MB size limit imposed on Kubernetes Secrets and ConfigMaps by etcd [1][2]. Changing the storage driver from the default (Secrets) requires manual migration of existing release data [1][5].

Support non-Secret Helm release storage
Helm 3 uses Secrets by default, but HELM_DRIVER can select configmap or sql. State that provenance resolution supports Secret-backed releases only, or define how it discovers and authorizes the configured backend. Otherwise valid Helm-managed CRDs may be missed.

Remove the timestamp from the generated dependency manifest.
The scenario states that type-dependencies.yaml changes only when the type set or schema changes. observedAt introduces a time-dependent field into the exact golden patch, so repeated generation can produce a diff without a type or schema change. Omit it or normalize it before comparison.

…nsformations The page recorded that a workload-less branch cluster cannot run a conversion or mutating webhook, and stopped there. It has an answer, and the answer changes what the branch cluster has to be: what must exist is an endpoint, not a controller, and it does not have to run in that cluster at all. Three steps, cheapest first. Structural-schema defaults are applied by the API server itself, so most "defaulting" needs nothing running and the missing set is mutating admission only. Conversion fires only when the served version differs from the stored one, so installing the CRD narrowed to the versions the folder uses is an honest subset rather than a synthesized schema. And WebhookClientConfig takes either service or url, verified against apiextensions v1 at v0.36.4, where url is upstream's form for a webhook that does NOT run in the cluster, since the API server cannot resolve in-cluster DNS. The url constraints are recorded from the field's own contract rather than paraphrased: https only, no query or fragment, an arbitrary path that upstream itself suggests using as a cluster identifier, an optional caBundle that falls back to system trust roots, and no bearer token from the API server, so an external endpoint authenticates its caller by mTLS or by that path. Two costs are ours rather than Kubernetes': the branch cluster's control plane makes the outbound call and sends every object of that type to it, and the endpoint lands in the edit path. Hosted transformations are recorded as the real direction they are, with the two things that have to be true first: a transformation is code and must be pinned per branch or the same branch hydrates differently next week, and divergence from the app's own webhook must be marked non-authoritative, or we recreate the invisible gap the section opened with and this time we caused it. The scenario's manifest gains a conversion field, because the reference manifest is the only artifact that knows both the type and its origin, which makes "this folder needs a reachable endpoint to be editable" reviewable instead of a runtime surprise.

Docs only. The correctness fixes this branch opened with were split out and merged as #319
(released in 0.42.1), so what is left is the design material: the layout work collected into
one folder, the model reversed, and the plan and the wave rewritten around what that reversal
and three later decisions leave standing. The only non-markdown changes are doc-path citations
in Go comments, which
task lint-docsrequires to resolve.The reversal
GitTarget.spec.layoutas a discriminated union is not the answer, and #293 still describesit as if it were. The path template stays. #319 made registration an invariant — a new file is
registered with its nearest ancestor kustomization inside the write jail, whatever path put it
there — and that retired three of the five arguments against templates. What the template
genuinely cannot express becomes two additive fields whose defaults equal today's behavior:
serializeNamespace: Auto | Always | Never— whether a document carriesmetadata.namespace, and what has to be true for omitting it to be honest.kustomizeRoot: Adopt | Create | Require— what happens when the folder's root ismissing, present, or must not be assumed.
So the placement work is no longer breaking at all, which is the largest single change here.
PRs 1 through 4 of the plan ship with no coordinated consumer bump.
Three decisions taken on this branch
sourceNamespace: "*"becomes one cluster-wide list and watch atmetav1.NamespaceAll,rejected while
allowAnySourceNamespaceis false. It was defined in terms of a fieldsource-scope-simplification.mddeletes, so it could not be left alone.CellKeyalreadydocuments the empty namespace as cluster-wide and both
openTargetWatchandopenTargetListalready branch on it, so this is a deletion in the planner rather than new machinery — and it
is the largest efficiency win available here: one stream and one warm-up list per type instead
of one per namespace, growing with the cluster.
spec.mode: Observe|Writeis dropped. Over a suspended target it bought only the differencebetween a pause and a declared posture. A suspended target that keeps scanning and publishing
status.placementis the same adoption dry run with one field instead of two. The cost isstated rather than hidden:
suspendmust keep observing, which deviates from Flux, wheresuspendstops reconciliation altogether.GitTarget.spec.intervalis dropped. Every input that changes what a scan would concludearrives as an event, on a watch, in milliseconds. Flux polls because a Git remote cannot be
watched, which is exactly why
GitProvider.spec.intervalstays. The residual gap — a foldersomeone else edits while our target writes nothing — is a poll of the output, paid on every
target forever, and the reconcile-request annotation covers it on demand. The inverted reading,
a periodic re-list of the API, is recorded as the design it is and as not an ask.
PR 2 of the plan is now one field and one annotation.
The source-scope simplification joins the wave
docs/design/source-scope-simplification.mddeletesGitTarget.spec.allowedSourceNamespaces,which breaks the same object B4 breaks. It rides the same bump or the consumer pays twice. It is
also the only member of the wave that makes the API smaller, which is worth stating in a
wave that is otherwise all addition.
What is in the branch
docs/layout/— the layout question collected into one folder, organised by topic, whichthe README defends as a deliberate exception to the lifecycle rule in
docs/INDEX.md.docs/layout/examples/— six worked scenarios (empty-repo bootstrap, brownfield kustomize,homelab Flux, homelab Argo CD, overlay-scoped target, multi-namespace tree), each with a
repository folder, its
GitTargetand rule configuration, one live input, and the exact patchthe operator proposes. PR 1 of the plan turns these into an executable corpus.
docs/layout/implementation-plan.md— six PRs, of which exactly one release is breaking,plus the design changes the examples produced.
docs/layout/api-wave.md— how the remaining breaking work sequences now that its largestmember left.
docs/design/source-scope-simplification.mdand its facts note on Kubernetes impersonation.Follow-ups this leaves
#293, #294 and #296 all describe the pre-reversal plan and link design paths this branch moves.
They want updating before this merges or immediately after.
