+revision 1。接管前审计确认：本目录 `values.yaml` 与 Helm stored user values 一致；
+用固定 chart 生成的 33,528 行 manifest 与 stored manifest 只有末尾空行差异。
+
+接管分两阶段：本阶段以 `suspend: true` 登记 HelmRepository、values ConfigMap 与
+HelmRelease，不执行 Helm action，不应重建三个 controller。合并后确认 source Ready、
+release 仍为 revision 1、三个 Pod UID/重启次数不变，再用独立 PR 移除 `suspend`。
+子 Kustomization 保持 `prune: false`。
+
+`clustersecretstore.yaml` 和 `externalsecrets.yaml` 是现有 secret delivery intent，
+本阶段故意不把它们加入该 Kustomization，避免在 Helm release 接管时同时扩大 Flux
+ownership。Helm 接管稳定后再单独审计、纳管这些对象。
