• Jul 30, 2026 Others hello-world-app v3.1.0

  Added

  • Add crash values to opt into staged failure injection for demos and testing: crash.enabled turns on a deliberate memory leak that drives a repeating OOMKill, with crash.rateBytesPerSec and crash.gracePeriod for tuning. Disabled by default.
  • Add extraEnv value to inject additional environment variables into the container. Defaults to [], so rendered output is unchanged for existing users.

  Changed

  • Update the helloworld image to 0.7.0 (and align appVersion), which ships the memory-leak support that crash.enabled drives.
