description	Generate minimal-diff Helm values with schema-aware validation.

Helm Generation

Purpose

Create Helm values files that override only what differs from chart defaults.

Inputs

• chart reference and version
• environment-specific requirements
• cluster/platform constraints

Process

1. Read chart defaults and README constraints.
2. Define required overrides by environment.
3. Keep values minimal and correctly typed.
4. Validate with helm lint, helm template, and dry-run install.

Output Format

• chart and version summary
• values.yaml override set
• install/upgrade command
• validation command set

Quality Checks

• Includes only non-default overrides
• Avoids CLI-only metadata in values (release name/namespace)
• Uses correct YAML types
