Reconciling ClickOps and GitOps
summary
A Headlamp Flux UI plugin surfaces Flux CD CRs (Kustomizations, ImageAutomations, HelmReleases), shows controller health and checks, and offers quick reconcile and pause actions; the desktop catalog provides a one-click install while the web deploys via Helm and the plugin detects Flux rather than bootstrapping it by default. The demo reconciles a Grafana HelmRelease successfully, the resource map visualizes relationships beyond ownerReferences, and role‑based UI hides actions users cannot perform.
