November 2025 performance summary for iits-consulting/charts: Delivered stability and reliability improvements across the Kyverno chart and the dashboard UI. Key outcomes include reverting the iits dashboard UI to its original layout (removing experimental theme toggle) to restore user experience and reduce regression risk; fixing and stabilizing the Kyverno chart by addressing a missing YAML separator that blocked multiple image pull secrets and upgrading the chart from 3.1.0 to 3.1.1 for the release; and automating documentation updates to reflect changes. These efforts improve deployment reliability, security posture, and release readiness, while demonstrating strong Kubernetes/Helm chart, YAML, and Git-based release practices.
