How does this skill support air-gapped environments?

It enforces a standardized global registry override pattern using .Values.global.image.registry, allowing you to easily point all subcharts to an internal mirror.

How are Helm charts validated using this skill?

The skill integrates the chart-testing (ct) tool workflow, covering automated linting, installation checks, and upgrade testing.

Does it include guidance for multi-environment management?

Yes, it provides specific best practices for Helmfile, including environment-specific value layering and declarative state management.

What security practices are included?

It mandates the use of fixed image tags instead of floating tags like 'latest' and provides patterns for secure RBAC and ServiceAccount separation.
