Debugging Running Instances

• The chart deploys both Squid and Nginx -- use label selectors (app.kubernetes.io/component=squid-caching or nginx-caching) to find the right pods
• Cache auto-cleans when disk usage exceeds 95% on container start -- if cache is empty after restart, check CACHE_USAGE_THRESHOLD env var
• Unexpected pod restarts may be certificate rotation, not crashes -- the entrypoint watches /etc/squid/certs/tls.crt every 30s and exits when the cert changes
