The doc comments on the resources and defaultedDict helpers justified the
copy-per-chart with "charts in this repo deliberately have no dependencies".
That rule fell with #214: a dependency is admissible now, just expensive, and
it sits in the README as guideline 14, not 13. The justification still holds,
but its reason is a different one - sharing the helper would mean a library
chart, a second artefact to publish, version and pull for something that
changes about once a year. searxng got that wording in PR #38; this carries it
to 21 further charts, 40 occurrences in all.
rss-bridge is deliberately left out. Its install-test fails on the Gitea
runner for a reason that predates this branch, and touching the chart would
keep it in the install-test matrix and the check red. Its copy of the sentence
is carried by #51, which has to open the chart anyway.
Comments only: every touched chart renders byte-identical against its
ci/<chart>/test-values.yaml. Each published chart takes a patch bump,
appVersion and +up suffix untouched; template-chart is never published and
takes none, but is corrected because every new chart inherits from it.
Two repo files carried the same claim at no version cost:
validate-charts.yml explained the all-charts quantity render test with it, and
change-app-version.yml still counted nine images for freesailarr - MediathekArr
made it ten.
Moving the wiki step from 7 to 5 shifted the two items behind it, and the
references that name them by number stayed where they were. The wiki
section still called itself step 7, and the auto-merge bullet cited rule 6
for "the user merges", which is rule 7 — rule 6 is the agent's lifetime.
A number pointing at the wrong step is the kind of reference that passes
for a reason on the next reading, so both are corrected here rather than
in an issue of their own.
The remote bullet described two remotes, github and JLab-Git, and denied
that origin exists. The checkout has exactly one, origin, pointing at the
Gitea instance, and so does every worktree cut from it; two agents lost
time on the difference. The point the bullet made survives — Gitea is the
leading copy, the mirror is fed from there, and where a second remote does
exist the advice to name it still holds.
The wiki has no PR flow, so parallel edits meet only at push time. During
Gitea #16 and #18 two agents edited the same two pages minutes apart and
the rebase happened to be clean; a force push would have deleted the other
edit with nothing to report it. Fetch and rebase before every push, never
force-push.
The chart pages no longer quote versions, so the sentence that explained
them as snapshots now says they carry no numbers at all. That change is
already in the wiki.
Flat layout, one Markdown file per page, page name = file name, links are relative page names without the extension (`[CI/CD](CI-CD)`). A new page must also be listed in `_Sidebar.md`, or it is reachable only by search.

**What does not oblige an edit:** a plain app-version bump. Renovate automerges those continuously and never touches the wiki, which is why chart pages quote versions as snapshots and name `Chart.yaml` as the source of truth. An app update that *does* change values or behaviour is not a plain bump, and the table applies.

Everything runs on the Gitea instance JLab-Git: issues, pull requests, CI and Renovate. github.com is a push mirror with Actions and Renovate **switched off**, and it lags until the mirror runs. README, "Where this repo lives", holds the measured differences between a Gitea runner and a GitHub one.
- **`tea`, not `gh`.** Work happens in a **Coder workspace, and it has no `op`** — that is the normal case here, not a broken environment, so do not wait for the 1Password CLI or propose installing it. Call `tea` directly; it carries the workspace's stored login and opens PRs and issues under the **bot account**, which is accepted. Say so in the report when something is authored that way. (`op plugin run -- tea`, the older instruction, applies only where `op` actually exists.)
- **Remotes are named `github` and `JLab-Git`** — there is no `origin`. `JLab-Git/main` is the leading copy; say which remote you mean, because `git push` without one is ambiguous here.
- **The remote is `origin`, and it points at Gitea** (`ssh://git@git.jk-dev.de:30022/jlab-cluster/helm-charts.git`). The checkout has exactly that one, and so does every worktree cut from it, so a bare `git push` goes to the leading copy; the github.com mirror is fed by Gitea itself and is never pushed to by hand. A clone elsewhere may carry the mirror as a second remote named `github` — wherever more than one exists, say which one you mean.
- **Branch protection with a signature requirement is active**, and signatures verify on Gitea. A commit that is not signed does not reach `main` — check before opening a PR, do not discover it at merge time.
- **No merge queue.** Gitea has none, and its place is taken by **auto-merge on green checks**: the PR is armed once and merges itself when the required check passes **and the required review exists** — both are active on `main`, so an armed PR without a review sits there instead of merging. Rule 6 above is unchanged — the user merges, and an agent never merges its own PR or arms auto-merge on it.

Rule 7 above is unchanged — the user merges, and an agent never merges its own PR or arms auto-merge on it.
- **A required check per chart is not possible.** Gitea runs a whole matrix as one job under one status context, so the install-test reports once for all charts. What is required on `main` is `validate-charts`, as that single context; per chart is the part that cannot be had. Relevant whenever branch protection is touched.
- **Issue numbers changed with the move, and `#n` in this repo's files means the GitHub tracker.** The issues open at the time are Gitea #5–#21 and #24; the mapping is a comment on Gitea #14. Closed ones were not migrated and exist only on GitHub. Beware that Gitea silently resolves a bare `#n` against its own counter, so an old reference can render as a link to something unrelated. When you write a *new* reference, use the Gitea number.
- **Renovate runs outside this repo**, as the shared `jlab-renovate-bot` instance; it reads our `renovate.json5` and its `postUpgradeTasks` hook is allow-listed there. **Do not add a Renovate workflow here** — a second runner means duplicate PRs and two schedulers rewriting each other's branches. README, "Renovate on Gitea", has the evidence.
