+  # startupapicheck — disabled (Slice 2B.1.2, 2026-05-04). The
+  # subchart includes a Job that runs as a PostSync hook and tries
+  # to verify cert-manager's API is responsive by issuing a test
+  # cert through it. Two real costs once cert-manager is proven on
+  # the platform:
+  #   1. The Job's PostSync hook gates Argo's sync from completing.
+  #      On every chart sync (not just install), Argo waits for the
+  #      Job to succeed before flipping the App to Synced.
+  #   2. When the wildcard Cert is in error (e.g. LE rate limit),
+  #      the Job adds even more retry overhead — Argo loops forever.
+  # We're not adopting cert-manager fresh — every connect ships the
+  # same proven version, the install API surface is stable. The
+  # check is dead-weight that masks the actual install timing.
