[3.0.3] - March 30, 2026

Breaking Changes

  • project migrated to the new nuc-* dependency model with OCI-hosted subcharts
  • several previously embedded integration templates were removed from the root chart and are now expected to come from dedicated dependency subcharts
  • values are now formally validated by values.schema.json
  • the old list-based top-level values contract is no longer considered valid; object-based resource maps are now the supported format

Added

  • added a formal values.schema.json describing the chart values contract
  • added values.yaml.example covering all main template families
  • added a Makefile for local dependency management, linting, docs generation, smoke checks, and e2e execution
  • added helper scripts:
    • scripts/helm-deps.sh
    • scripts/helm-docs.sh
  • added project documentation:
    • docs/AGENTS.md
    • docs/CONTRIBUTING.md
    • docs/DEPENDENCY.md
    • docs/TESTS.MD
    • docs/README.md.gotmpl
    • docs/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
    • docs/SECURITY.md
  • added a compatibility layer in templates/_compat.tpl to override helper behavior until the published nuc-common dependency catches up
  • added first-class templates for:
    • Pod
    • DaemonSet
    • NetworkPolicy
    • PersistentVolume
  • added unit, smoke, and end-to-end test suites

Changed

  • templates reorganized from a flat layout into domain-based directories:
    • templates/workloads/
    • templates/batch/
    • templates/networking/
    • templates/security/
    • templates/storage/
    • templates/observability/
    • templates/rbac/
    • templates/misc/
  • root README fully rewritten and now generated via helm-docs
  • values.yaml reworked into a documented, family-based values contract
  • added workloadMode to limit rendering to selected workload families:
    • auto
    • deployment
    • daemonset
    • pod
    • statefulset
    • batch
    • job
    • cronjob
    • hook
    • none
  • introduced a centralized GitOps metadata layer:
    • gitops.commonLabels
    • gitops.commonAnnotations
    • gitops.argo.*
    • gitops.flux.*
    • resource-level gitops overrides
  • values/schema model unified around reusable definitions:
    • baseWorkload
    • baseWorkloadGeneral
    • specialized reusable definitions for workload, batch, and hook families
  • top-level values schema moved away from generic freeFormObject / objectMap / objectOrYamlMap references to named resource-family definitions

Improved

  • rendering is now deterministic and GitOps-friendly:
    • generic.fullnameOverride
    • generic.nameSuffix
    • generic.deterministicNames
  • improved Argo CD and Flux support with centralized labels and annotations
  • containers and initContainers now support both list and map forms
  • improved shared pod-spec helper behavior for:
    • topologySpreadConstraints
    • restartPolicy
    • startupProbe
    • serviceAccountName
    • hostAliases
    • tolerations
    • affinity
    • priorityClassName
    • dnsPolicy
    • imagePullSecrets
    • typed volumes and volume mounts
  • improved batch resource support with:
    • CronJob.spec.timeZone
    • reusable batch/general schema definitions
  • improved StatefulSet service behavior with automatic governing headless Service generation when no explicit Service is provided

Fixed

  • removed non-deterministic rendering behavior that caused noisy GitOps diffs
  • fixed fallback naming for unnamed containers and initContainers
  • fixed helper compatibility gaps before the published nuc-common update
  • added restartPolicy support to the shared pod helper
  • improved backward compatibility coverage against previous release tags

Testing

  • added unit coverage for:
    • workloads
    • batch resources
    • services and ingress
    • network policy
    • configmaps and secrets
    • PV/PVC
    • HPA/PDB
    • RBAC
  • added smoke scenarios for:
    • empty render
    • schema validation
    • rendering contract
    • example render
    • kubeconform validation
  • added kind-based e2e installation tests covering readiness of the main rendered resources

Removed

  • removed the old flat template layout from the chart root
  • removed legacy sample manifests under docs/samples/
  • removed several embedded integration templates in favor of dependency-backed nuc-* modules
