Proposed fix: [Helm 4] CI scripts break: 'Error: unknown flag: --atomic' on helm install (4.1.1), --atomic/--force renamed to --rollback-on-failure/--force-replace, --post-renderer now takes a plugin
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Replace --atomic with --rollback-on-failure and --force with --force-replace; repackage post-renderer executables as postrenderer-type plugins and pass the plugin name; or use helm upgrade --install which kept --atomic.
Option: Rename flags and convert post-renderers to plugins [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Helm 3 -> 4 pipelines
Steps:
1. sed --atomic -> --rollback-on-failure, --force -> --force-replace
2. Package post-render script as a Helm postrenderer plugin; helm plugin install; pass --post-renderer <plugin-name>
Expected: Commands run on Helm 4 without deprecated flags
