SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Upgrade platform addon charts (external-secrets, cert-manager, crossplane, kyverno, monitoring, argo-cd, istio, etc.) from one upstream version to another. Covers the full lifecycle: release note research, cluster CR audit, chart changes, validation, release chain, and live cluster verification. Use when upgrading any addon's upstream dependency version, when asked to "upgrade X to version Y", "bump X", or when investigating what changed between addon versions. Also use when the user mentions "addon upgrade", "operator upgrade", "chart dependency bump", or wants to update any helm-modules-apps chart that wraps an upstream project.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-driven upgrade workflow spanning research, CR audits, chart changes, validation, release chain, and live verification.
  • Comprehensive risk assessment including upstream version existence checks and deprecation tracking.
  • End-to-end governance and release coordination across wrapper charts and platform components.

Quick Start

Initiate an addon upgrade by specifying the addon and target version and execute Phases 1–8 in order.
