Kubernetes Operations

Manifests, charts and day-two kubectl for Kubernetes 1.35-1.37. Facts verified 2026-10-07: Kubernetes 1.37 "Garhwal" is current (1.34 reaches end of life on 2026-10-27), Helm 4 is current, and Gateway API v1.6 is the routing API. docker-ops' scripts/check-docker-facts.py --live watches these versions weekly.

Why: a manifest that applies cleanly can still take production down. A pod with no readiness probe takes traffic before it can serve; a namespace delete takes its volumes with it; an Ingress controller that stopped getting security fixes in March 2026 is still routing traffic in most clusters.
