Test Case: include-needs vs include-transitive-needs

This test case validates the fix for issue #1003.

Issue

--include-needs flag was incorrectly including transitive dependencies when it should only include direct dependencies.

Expected Behavior

--include-needs

When selecting release3 with --include-needs:

• Should include: release2 (direct dependency) and release3 (selected release)
• Should NOT include: release1 (transitive dependency of release3 through release2)

--include-transitive-needs

When selecting release3 with --include-transitive-needs:

• Should include: release1, release2, and release3 (all dependencies in the chain)

Dependency Chain

release1 (no dependencies)
    ↑
release2 (needs release1)
    ↑
release3 (needs release2)

Tests Performed

1. helmfile template --include-needs - verifies only direct dependencies are included
2. helmfile template --include-transitive-needs - verifies all dependencies are included
3. helmfile lint --include-needs - verifies consistency across commands
4. helmfile diff --include-needs - verifies consistency across commands
