yxxhero 9b943adc9e feat: add helmfile doctor command for AI-assisted diff analysis (#2660)
* feat: add `helmfile doctor` command for AI-assisted diff analysis

`helmfile doctor` runs `helmfile diff` and asks an OpenAI-compatible LLM to
summarize the changes and flag risks (data loss, security exposure, breaking
changes, downtime, performance, best-practice issues).

Key design decisions:
- When no LLM is configured, doctor is equivalent to `helmfile diff` with
  one exception: --show-secrets is always forced off (secrets never reach
  stdout, even without an LLM).
- Secrets are ALWAYS redacted via two layers: (1) ShowSecrets() forced to
  false so helm-diff emits <REDACTED> placeholders; (2) a defense-in-depth
  text redactor strips residual secret-looking content (Secret YAML blocks,
  sensitive key/value lines, base64 blobs, JWT tokens) before LLM transmission.
- LLM configuration precedence: env (HELMFILE_LLM_*) < helmfile.yaml (llm:)
  < CLI flags (--llm-*).
- Supports any OpenAI-compatible backend (OpenAI, Azure, One-API, LiteLLM,
  Ollama, etc.) with automatic response_format fallback for backends that
  don't support JSON mode.
- Prompt injection defense: release names and environment values are
  JSON-encoded before insertion into the LLM prompt.
- Exit codes: 0 (success/low-risk), 2 (high-risk gate, bypass with --force),
  1 (other errors). Helm-diff's 'detected changes' exit-2 is swallowed.

New packages:
- pkg/agent/llm: OpenAI-compatible client with JSON response parsing, mock
  client for testing, prompt builder with injection defense.
- pkg/agent/doctor: secret redactor (state machine + regex), report renderer
  (markdown + JSON), config resolver (env < yaml < flag merge).

Testing: 70+ unit tests covering redaction patterns, prompt injection,
response_format fallback, JSON parsing, yaml roundtrip, concurrency safety,
panic recovery, and error propagation. go test -race passes.

* docs: fix doctor equivalence wording per PR review

Per review feedback (PR #2660): the docs claimed doctor is 'equivalent to
helmfile diff — same flags, same output, same exit codes' in the unconfigured
path, but this over-promises because:

  1. doctor --output is the report format (not helm-diff's output format)
  2. helm-diff's --output is exposed as --diff-output in doctor
  3. --show-secrets is silently ignored

Updated all three locations (cli.md, cmd/doctor.go Long + godoc, pkg/app/doctor.go
godoc) to say 'falls back to helmfile diff with --show-secrets forced off' and
explicitly note the --output / --diff-output flag difference.

// TestDoctorCmd_DiffOptionsFlagBindingIsLive is a regression guard for a
// serious bug where --suppress-secrets / --diff-output / --set / --values /
// --concurrency / --validate (every flag bound to DiffOptions) was silently
// dropped before reaching App.Doctor.
//
// Root cause: NewDoctorCmd used to call NewDoctorImpl TWICE — once to obtain a
// DiffOptions pointer for flag binding, and again inside RunE — and because
// NewDoctorImpl allocates a fresh DiffOptions on each call, the two pointers
// were different. Flag bindings updated the throwaway object; RunE read from
// a fresh empty one.
//
// Fix: construct DoctorImpl exactly once and share the pointer across flag
// binding and RunE.

//
// We re-extract the bindings via the same code path cobra uses
// (doctorCmd.Flag reads from the pflag.FlagSet the doctor command owns)
// and verify the underlying pointers received the values.
//
// Since we cannot reach into RunE's closure directly without exporting
