Two corrections on top of the naming pass, both found by checking the live cluster rather than the source. The rename had silently changed the user-facing annotation key from argocd.argoproj.io/sync-wave to cd.argoproj.io/sync-wave — 63 live Applications carry the old key, so deploying that would have ignored every sync-wave and broken fleet deploy ordering. The key is now cd.hanzo.ai/*, and universe 575650286 moves the ApplicationSet template that stamps it, so the controller regenerates all 63 consistently. The API group in code said argoproj.io/v1alpha1 in 157 places while the cluster has served apps.hanzo.ai/v1alpha1 since 2026-07-23 (the CRDs are applications.apps.hanzo.ai). Code now matches what is actually served. The legacy applications.argoproj.io/app-name label had ZERO live users, so it went with the rest. foo.argoproj.io test fixtures became foo.example.com — arbitrary test domains should not carry a vendor name. go build ./... exit 0.

Application Pruning & Resource Deletion
All Application resources created by the ApplicationSet controller (from an ApplicationSet) will contain:
- A
.metadata.ownerReferencesreference back to the parentApplicationSetresource - An Hanzo CD
resources-finalizer.cd.hanzo.aifinalizer in.metadata.finalizersof the Application if.syncPolicy.preserveResourcesOnDeletionis set to false.
The end result is that when an ApplicationSet is deleted, the following occurs (in rough order):
- The
ApplicationSetresource itself is deleted - Any
Applicationresources that were created from thisApplicationSet(as identified by owner reference) will be deleted - Any deployed resources (
Deployments,Services,ConfigMaps, etc) on the managed cluster, that were created from thatApplicationresource (by Hanzo CD), will be deleted.- Hanzo CD is responsible for handling this deletion, via the deletion finalizer.
- To preserve deployed resources, set
.syncPolicy.preserveResourcesOnDeletionto 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.aiis still specified on theApplication. Thus, when theApplicationis 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.preserveResourcesOnDeletionto true in the ApplicationSet. This syncPolicy parameter prevents the finalizer from being added to the Application.
