Add `commonLabels` and `podLabels` values for injecting custom labels into chart resources. - `commonLabels` — merged into `chart.labels`, applied to all resource metadata (StatefulSet, Service, Ingress, test Jobs) - `podLabels` — applied to pod template labels alongside chart.labels (does not affect `spec.selector.matchLabels`) This is a common pattern in the Helm ecosystem (see metrics-server, ingress-nginx, cert-manager) that enables operators to apply organizational labels without forking or wrapping the chart.
- Add chart.labels to all ConfigMaps and Secrets in config.yaml - Add chart.labels to volumeClaimTemplates PVC metadata - Bump chart version 0.1.25 -> 0.1.26 - Document commonLabels and podLabels in README

@ianhundere thanks for this. I've added labels to secrets/configmaps/volume templates + updated docs to surface the labels value |

hey, thanks for merging this! any chance you could cut a new release so we can pick it up? we've been running a wrapper _helpers.tpl override to inject labels and would love to drop it |

@ianhundere, sure thing. I'll cut a new release in a few minutes. |
