GitOps Transparency overview

The principle that every action performed through a graphical UI must have an equivalent kubectl (or API) command, and every state mutation must be expressible as a declarative YAML manifest that can be version-controlled in Git. This ensures that platform state is auditable, reproducible, and automatable. In Krate, creating a repository via the web UI produces the same Repository CR that could be applied via kubectl; reviewing a pull request sets the same status conditions. The platform eats its own dog food — Krate itself is deployed and configured via its own GitOps pipeline.
