Add a --skip-charts flag to the `helmfile build` command to allow users
to skip chart preparation, following the same pattern as the list and
destroy commands.
This addresses an issue where `helmfile build` would run `helm template`
on kustomize resources during chart preparation, even though build is
meant to be a read-only inspection command.
Changes:
- Add SkipCharts field to BuildOptions
- Add --skip-charts flag to build command CLI
- Update StateConfigProvider interface to include SkipCharts()
- Update PrintState() to conditionally skip withPreparedCharts when flag is set
By default, the flag is false (charts are prepared) to maintain backward
compatibility. Users can now run `helmfile build --skip-charts` to get
fast output without chart preparation.

This commit adds comprehensive support for Helm 4 while maintaining
full backward compatibility with Helm 3. The implementation includes:
- Updated helm version detection to support both Helm 3 and Helm 4
- Added HELMFILE_HELM4 environment variable to control Helm version
- Modified helm execution paths to handle version-specific binaries
- Updated helm plugin installation to support split architecture
- Helm 4: Uses split plugin architecture (3 separate .tgz files)
- helm-secrets.tgz
- helm-secrets-getter.tgz
- helm-secrets-post-renderer.tgz
- Helm 3: Continues using single plugin installation
- Updated Dockerfiles, CI workflows, and core installation code
- Helm 4 requires post-renderers to be plugins, not executable scripts
- Created Helm plugin structure for integration tests
- Updated helmfile.yaml templates to dynamically select renderer type
- Added test plugins: add-cm, add-cm1, add-cm2
- Updated integration tests for Helm 3/4 compatibility
- Created Helm 4 variant expected output files
- Fixed test determinism issues (repo cleanup between iterations)
- Added version-specific output filtering for warnings/messages
- Updated workflows to test both Helm 3 and Helm 4
- Matrix testing across Helm versions
- Updated helm-diff to v3.14.0 for compatibility
- Updated README and docs with Helm 4 information
- Added migration guidance
- Updated version requirements
All changes are backward compatible - existing Helm 3 users will
see no behavior changes.
fix: update Helm 4 lint expected output to match filtered output
The grep filter removes the semver warning, so the expected output
should not include it. Updated lint-helm4 files to match the filtered
output (warning removed, no extra blank line).

1. only implement post-renderer flags this patch
2. As mumoshu advise, add helmfile flags `--post-render` and add the
postRenderer config in helmDefaults and release. the priority is
helmfile flags > release > helmDefaults.
3. fix the test case in state_test.go and some other tests.

Since helm-diff has added an ability to auto-detect the term to decide if it should output with color or not, helmfile had been defaulted to no-color.
This resoloves that, by adding a term-detection logic that is same as helm-diff.
As a part of this work, I have also implemented a new global flag `--color`, which is used for forcing color without relying on the term-detection logic implemented in helmfile or explicitly setting the HELM_DIFF_COLOR envvar. I hope it is useful for folks.
