zeekay 7461a16638 docs: drop Argo branding, delete pre-fork upstream history, fix broken links
Rewrites remaining Argo/ArgoCD/argocd/argoproj prose in docs/ to Hanzo CD,
in our own voice only. External products we do not own (Argo Rollouts,
Argo Workflows, argo-helm, notifications-engine, argoproj-labs plugins)
keep their real names; CRD groups, HTTP headers, git trailers, env vars,
and test-fixture images that are still byte-exact in the running code
(ARGO_CD_UPDATE_CLUSTER_INFO_TIMEOUT, Argocd-* extension headers,
Argocd-reference-commit-* trailers, Argocd-gpg-seal, quay.io/argoprojlabs
cd-e2e-container) are left untouched.

Deletes docs/operator-manual/upgrading/1.0-1.1.md through 3.4-3.5.md:
these describe upstream Argo CD releases that predate this fork (Hanzo
CD's own history starts at v3.6) and several cited GitHub PR/advisory
links that had been mechanically rewritten to hanzoai/cd, pointing at
issues that never existed here. Deletes docs/developer-guide/dependencies.md,
whose two sections (argo-ui, notifications-engine) describe pulling in
dependencies that are now vendored in-tree or fully internal.

Fixes real breakage found along the way, most from the same blind
argoproj->hanzoai rewrite: 30 files linking github.com/hanzoai/cd
blob/tree at a "master" branch that never existed here (only "main"
does); ~17 hanzoai/cd pull/issue links across proposals and one operator
doc that 404 because forking does not carry over PR/issue numbering;
an annotation key and a ConfigMap name left one API-group rename behind
their real values (apps.hanzo.ai/*, cd-rbac-cm); a page rename
(Argo-CD-Integration.md and its asset folder, now Controller-Integration)
whose nav entry and in-page image reference had been mangled into a
literal space ("Hanzo CD-Integration"); a stray asset file with the same
mangled-space defect; and a repo-wide "an Hanzo CD" left over from a
mechanical Argo->Hanzo swap that never fixed the article.

mkdocs.yml: trims the Upgrading nav to the one real entry, drops
dependencies.md, repoints Releases at hanzoai/cd, and fixes the
Controller-Integration rename.

Verified with a strict mkdocs build (0 warnings) after the fixes above.

Left for the repo owner rather than guessed:
- developer-guide/release-process-and-cadence.md and
  proposals/feature-bounties*.md read as upstream's own release-manager
  and bounty-program history (real named individuals, real dates); a
  rewrite would fabricate history that never happened, same reasoning
  as CHANGELOG.md.
- assets/versions.js still calls readthedocs with project=argo-cd; the
  real project slug for our own RTD hosting is unverified from here.
- signed-release-assets.md's cosign --certificate-identity-regexp still
  names .github/workflows/image-reuse.yaml, which does not exist in this
  repo (no .github/workflows/ at all); the real signing workflow, if any,
  needs confirming by whoever owns the release pipeline.
- maintaining-internal-cd-forks.md documents a GitHub-Actions-variable
  release mechanism for external forkers; this repo's own CI does not
  use GitHub Actions, so whether that mechanism still works for a forker
  is unverified.

Application Pruning & Resource Deletion

All Application resources created by the ApplicationSet controller (from an ApplicationSet) will contain:

  • A .metadata.ownerReferences reference back to the parent ApplicationSet resource
  • A Hanzo CD resources-finalizer.cd.hanzo.ai finalizer in .metadata.finalizers of the Application if .syncPolicy.preserveResourcesOnDeletion is set to false.

The end result is that when an ApplicationSet is deleted, the following occurs (in rough order):

  • The ApplicationSet resource itself is deleted
  • Any Application resources that were created from this ApplicationSet (as identified by owner reference) will be deleted
  • Any deployed resources (Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, etc) on the managed cluster, that were created from that Application resource (by Hanzo CD), will be deleted.
    • Hanzo CD is responsible for handling this deletion, via the deletion finalizer.
    • To preserve deployed resources, set .syncPolicy.preserveResourcesOnDeletion to true in the ApplicationSet.

Thus the lifecycle of the ApplicationSet, the Application, and the Application's resources, are equivalent.

Note

See also the controlling resource modification page for more information about how to prevent deletion or modification of Application resources by the ApplicationSet controller.

It is still possible to delete an ApplicationSet resource, while preventing Applications (and their deployed resources) from also being deleted, using a non-cascading delete:

kubectl delete ApplicationSet (NAME) --cascade=orphan

Warning

Even if using a non-cascaded delete, the resources-finalizer.cd.hanzo.ai is still specified on the Application. Thus, when the Application is deleted, all of its deployed resources will also be deleted. (The lifecycle of the Application, and its child objects, are still equivalent.)

To prevent the deletion of the resources of the Application, such as Services, Deployments, etc, set .syncPolicy.preserveResourcesOnDeletion to true in the ApplicationSet. This syncPolicy parameter prevents the finalizer from being added to the Application.
