-# Copilot Instructions for Helmfile
-
-## Repository Overview
-
-Helmfile is a tool for deploying Helm charts that manages Kubernetes deployments as code. It provides templating, environment management, and GitOps workflows for Helm chart deployments.
-
-Helmfile is a declarative tool. In Helmfile, all elements of the desired state for deployments must be included in the `helmfile.yaml` config file and any associated files. Only operational matters can be provided dynamically, via command-line flags and environment variables.
-
-**Key Details:**
-- **Language:** Go 1.24.2+
-- **Type:** CLI tool / Kubernetes deployment management
-- **Size:** Large codebase (~229MB binary, 200+ dependencies)
-- **Runtime:** Requires Helm 3.x as external dependency
-- **Target Platform:** Linux/macOS/Windows, Kubernetes clusters
-
-## Build and Validation Commands
-
-### Essential Setup
-Helmfile requires Helm 3.x and Kustomize 5.x as runtime dependencies:
-```bash
-# Check for Helm dependency (REQUIRED)
-helm version  # Must show version 3.x
-
-# Initialize Helm plugins after helmfile installation
-./helmfile init  # Installs required helm-diff plugin
-
-# Alternative: Force install without prompts
-./helmfile init --force
-```
-
-### Build Process
-```bash
-# Standard build (takes 2-3 minutes due to many dependencies)
-make build
-
-# Alternative direct build
-go build -o helmfile .
-
-# Build with test tools (required for integration tests, ~1 minute)
-make build-test-tools  # Creates diff-yamls and downloads dyff
-
-# Cross-platform builds
-make cross
-```
-
-**Build Timing:** First build downloads 200+ Go packages and takes 2-3 minutes. Subsequent builds are faster due to module cache. Test tools build is faster (~1 minute).
-
-### Validation Pipeline
-Run in this exact order to match CI requirements:
-
-```bash
-# 1. Code formatting and linting  
-make check           # Run go vet (required - always works)
-# Note: make fmt requires gci tool (go install github.com/daixiang0/gci@latest)
-
-# 2. Unit tests (fast, ~30 seconds)
-go test -v ./pkg/... -race -p=1
-
-# 3. Integration tests (requires Kubernetes - see Environment Setup)
-make integration     # Takes 5-10 minutes, needs minikube/k8s cluster
-
-# 4. E2E tests (optional, needs expect package)
-sudo apt-get install expect  # On Ubuntu/Debian
-bash test/e2e/helmfile-init/init_linux.sh
-```
-
-### Linting Configuration
-Uses golangci-lint with configuration in `.golangci.yaml`. Install via:
-```bash
-# For local development
-curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golangci/golangci-lint/master/install.sh | sh -s -- -b $(go env GOPATH)/bin v2.1.6
-golangci-lint run
-```
-
-**Critical Lint Rules:** staticcheck, errcheck, revive, unused. Fix lint errors before committing.
-
-## Environment Setup Requirements
-
-### Dependencies for Development
-```bash
-# Required for building/testing
-go version            # Must be 1.24.2+
-helm version         # Must be 3.x
-kubectl version      # For K8s integration
-
-# Required for integration tests
-minikube start       # Or other K8s cluster
-kustomize version    # v5.2.1+ for some tests
-```
-
-### Integration Test Environment
-Integration tests require a running Kubernetes cluster:
-
-```bash
-# Using minikube (recommended for CI)
-minikube start
-export KUBECONFIG=$(minikube kubeconfig-path)
-
-# Using kind (alternative)
-kind create cluster --name helmfile-test
-
-# Verify cluster access
-kubectl cluster-info
-```
-
-**Timing:** Integration tests take 5-10 minutes and may fail due to timing issues in resource-constrained environments.

-- **main.go:** Signal handling, CLI execution entry point
-- **cmd/root.go:** Global CLI configuration, error handling, logging setup  
-- **pkg/app/app.go:** Main application orchestration, state management
-- **pkg/state/state.go:** Helmfile state parsing, release management
-- **pkg/helmexec/exec.go:** Helm command execution, version detection
-
-### Configuration Files

-- **.golangci.yaml:** Linting rules and settings
-- **Makefile:** Build targets and development workflows
-- **mkdocs.yml:** Documentation generation configuration
-- **.github/workflows/ci.yaml:** Complete CI pipeline definition
-
-## Continuous Integration Pipeline
-
-### GitHub Actions Workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yaml`)
-1. **Lint Job:** golangci-lint with custom configuration (~5 minutes)
-2. **Test Job:** Unit tests + binary build (~10 minutes)  
-3. **Integration Job:** Tests with multiple Helm/Kustomize versions (~15-20 minutes each)
-4. **E2E Job:** User workflow validation (~5 minutes)
-
-**Matrix Testing:** CI tests against multiple Helm versions (3.17.x, 3.18.x) and Kustomize versions (5.2.x, 5.4.x).
-
-### Pre-commit Validation Steps
-Always run these locally before pushing:
-```bash
-make check           # Format and vet (required)
-go test ./pkg/...    # Unit tests  
-make build          # Verify build works
-# Note: make fmt requires gci tool: go install github.com/daixiang0/gci@latest
-```
-
-### Common CI Failure Causes
-- **Linting errors:** Run `golangci-lint run` locally first
-- **Integration test timeouts:** K8s cluster setup timing issues
-- **Version compatibility:** Ensure Go 1.24.2+ and Helm 3.x
-- **Race conditions:** Some tests are sensitive to parallel execution
-
-## Development Gotchas and Known Issues
-
-### Build Issues
-- **Long initial build time:** First `make build` downloads 200+ packages (~2-3 minutes)
-- **Memory usage:** Large binary size due to embedded dependencies  
-- **Git tags:** Build may show version warnings if not on tagged commit
-- **Tool dependencies:** `make fmt` requires `gci` tool installation
-
-### Testing Issues  
-- **Integration tests require K8s:** Will fail without cluster access
-- **Test isolation:** Use `-p=1` flag to avoid race conditions
-- **Minikube timing:** May need to wait for cluster ready state
-- **Plugin dependencies:** Tests need helm-diff and helm-secrets plugins
-
-### Runtime Requirements
-- **Helm dependency:** Always required at runtime, not just build time (available in CI)
-- **kubectl access:** Most operations need valid kubeconfig
-- **Plugin management:** `helmfile init` must be run after installation
-
-### Common Error Patterns
-```bash
-# Missing Helm
-"helm: command not found" → Install Helm first
-
-# Plugin missing  
-"Error: plugin 'diff' not found" → Run helmfile init
-
-# K8s access
-"connection refused" → Check kubectl cluster-info
-
-# Permission errors
-"permission denied" → Check kubeconfig and cluster access
-
-# Missing tools
-"gci: No such file or directory" → go install github.com/daixiang0/gci@latest
-```
-
-## Working with the Codebase
-
-### Making Changes
-- **Follow Helmfile design**: Helmfile is a declarative deployment tool. Anything that is part of the desired state of the deployments needs to be managed by Helmfile configs. Only operational knowledge that affects "how" to apply the desired state needs to be runtime options, like command-like flags and environment variables.
-- **Small, focused changes:** Each PR should address single concern
-- **Test coverage:** Add unit tests for new pkg/ functionality
-- **Integration tests:** Update test-cases/ for new CLI features
-- **Documentation:** Update docs/ for user-facing changes
-
-### Key Packages to Understand
-- **pkg/app:** Main business logic, start here for feature changes
-- **pkg/state:** Helmfile parsing and release orchestration  
-- **cmd/:** CLI interface changes and new subcommands
-- **pkg/helmexec:** Helm integration and command execution
-
-### Architecture Patterns
-- **Dependency injection:** App uses interfaces for testability
-- **State management:** Immutable state objects, functional transforms
-- **Error handling:** Custom error types with exit codes
-- **Plugin system:** Extensible via Helm plugins and Go templates

+March 2022 Update - The helmfile project has been moved to [helmfile/helmfile](https://github.com/helmfile/helmfile) from the former home `roboll/helmfile`. Please see roboll/helmfile#1824 for more information.
+
+Even though Helmfile is used in production environments [across multiple organizations](USERS.md), it is still in its early stage of development, hence versioned 0.x.
+
+Helmfile complies to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 in which v0.x means that there could be backward-incompatible changes for every release.
+
+Note that we will try our best to document any backward incompatibility. And in reality, helmfile had no breaking change for a year or so.
 
-* Helmfile v1.0 and v1.1 has been released. We recommend upgrading directly to v1.1 if you are still using v0.x.
-* If you haven't already upgraded, please go over this v1 proposal [here](docs/proposals/towards-1.0.md) to see a small list of breaking changes.

-#### regex
-`regex` is a function that extracts one or more substrings from a given string by applying a regular expression pattern, describing the first match.

-    If all of the capture groups are named, the result is an object whose keys are the named groups and whose values are their sub-matches, or null if a particular sub-group was inside another group that didn't match.
-    If none of the capture groups are named, the result is a tuple whose elements are the sub-groups in order and whose values are their sub-matches, or null if a particular sub-group was inside another group that didn't match.
-    It is invalid to use both named and un-named capture groups together in the same pattern.
-
-If the pattern doesn't match, this function returns an error. To test for a match, call `regexall` and check if the length of the result is greater than zero.

-
-If the pattern doesn't match at all, this function returns an empty list.

-May 2025 Update
+March 2022 Update - The helmfile project has been moved to [helmfile/helmfile](https://github.com/helmfile/helmfile) from the former home `roboll/helmfile`. Please see [roboll/helmfile#1824](https://github.com/roboll/helmfile/issues/1824) for more information.
 
-* Helmfile v1.0 and v1.1 has been released. We recommend upgrading directly to v1.1 if you are still using v0.x.
-* If you haven't already upgraded, please go over this v1 proposal [here](https://github.com/helmfile/helmfile/blob/main/docs/proposals/towards-1.0.md) to see a small list of breaking changes.
+Even though Helmfile is used in production environments [across multiple organizations](users.md), it is still in its early stage of development, hence versioned 0.x.
+
+Helmfile complies to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 in which v0.x means that there could be backward-incompatible changes for every release.
+
+Note that we will try our best to document any backward incompatibility. And in reality, helmfile had no breaking change for a year or so.

 dependencies of any referenced local charts.
 
-#### Common sync flags
-
-* `--timeout SECONDS` - Override the default timeout for all releases in this sync operation. This takes precedence over `helmDefaults.timeout` and per-release `timeout` settings.
-* `--wait` - Override the default wait behavior for all releases
-* `--wait-for-jobs` - Override the default wait-for-jobs behavior for all releases
-
-Examples:
-
-```bash
-# Override timeout for all releases to 10 minutes
-helmfile sync --timeout 600
-
-# Combine timeout with wait flags
-helmfile sync --timeout 900 --wait --wait-for-jobs
-
-# Target specific releases with custom timeout

-HCL values supports interpolations and sharing values across files
-
-* Only `.hcl` suffixed files will be interpreted as is
-* Helmfile supports 2 differents blocks: `values` and `locals`
-* `values` block is a shared block where all values are accessible everywhere in all loaded files
-* `locals` block can't reference external values apart from the ones in the block itself, and where its defined values are only accessible in its local file
-* Only values in `values` blocks are made available to the final root `.Values` (e.g : ` values { myvar = "var" }` is accessed through `{{ .Values.myvar }}`)
-* There can only be 1 `locals` block per file
-* Helmfile hcl `values` are referenced using the `hv` accessor.
-* Helmfile hcl `locals` are referenced using the `local` accessor.
-* Duplicated variables across .hcl `values` blocks are forbidden (An error will pop up specifying where are the duplicates)
-* All cty [standard library functions](`https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/zclconf/go-cty@v1.14.3/cty/function/stdlib`) are available and custom functions could be created in the future

-> Context:
->
-> Even though Helmfile had been used in production environments [across multiple organizations](USERS.md), it had been considered to be in its early stage of development, hence versioned 0.x.
->
-> Helmfile complies to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 in which v0.x means that there could be backward-incompatible changes for every release. However, Helmfile has been very conservative about breaking changes, and we had no breaking change for a year or so before start thinking about v1.

Disabling all is already possible via `HELMFILE_DISABLE_INSECURE_FEATURES `. In addition, `HELMFILE_SKIP_INSECURE_TEMPLATE_FUNCTIONS` literally made every insecure template function to silently skipped without any error or warning, which made debugging unnecessarily hard when the user accidentally used an insecure function.

 ### The long deprecated `charts.yaml` has been finally removed
 
 Helmfile used to load `helmfile.yaml` or `charts.yaml` when you omitted the `-f` flag. `charts.yaml` has been deprecated for a long time but never been removed. We take v1 as a chance to finally remove it.
 
-### List experimental features
-
-We have some experimental features that are not stable yet. We should list them in a list and mark them as experimental.
-
-In Helmfile v1.x, all features should be backward-compatible within v1.x as we follow semver. We can't fix features in a backward incompatible way by default. To do so, we need a list of experimental features and say "anything in the experimentals can be modified backward-incompatible ways", and include features that are consireded experimental into the list beforehand.

-In Helmfile v0.x, all features considered experimental as we follow semver. However, we "ended up" preserving backward-compatibility within v0 and between v0 and v1 "by chance". This doesn't mean anything
-introduced in v0 is stable. For example, we might have some features implemented in a very later stage of v0 that are not stable yet. We should mark them as experimental, or we can't fix them in a backward-incompatible way in v1.x. That's why we need to list experimental features now.
