Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for castai/kvisor focusing on environment-driven configuration enhancements and streamlined env-based config loading. Implemented environment-driven CAST AI configuration for the kvisor Helm chart to set API key and cluster ID from environment variables via envFrom, with optional secret references and new helper templates. Added centralized env-based configuration loader NewConfigFromEnv, prioritizing CLUSTER_ID over CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID and consolidating lookups to reduce misconfig and deployment friction. Commits show incremental improvements to configuration flow (e726d243a9329f6c686829b6a0865c6f7fae8a21, d442b6a944bfb04440a3ed8bbf41aa59dd998263).
