Ports home-operations/tuppr#414 + home-operations/tuppr#415 to this repo.

Problem

charts/litellm-operator/Chart.yaml carried a 0.0.0 placeholder and only got a
real version at package time (helm package --version/--app-version in the
release workflow). The committed chart metadata and the generated README badges
were therefore permanently stale, and helm template/helm install straight from
a checkout produced ghcr.io/home-operations/litellm-operator:0.0.0.

Change

• Chart.yaml: version/appVersion now hold the current released version
  (0.0.9, from .release-please-manifest.json) with # x-release-please-version
  annotations. The release workflow still re-stamps at package time; this just
  keeps the repo copy from going stale.
• release-please-config.json: extra-files stamps Chart.yaml and the
  generated chart README.md on every release.
• README.md.gotmpl: the version/appVersion badges are hand-rolled instead of
  helm-docs' badge templates, and the README is regenerated.

Why the typed generic updater

extra-files entries are given as:

"extra-files": [
  { "type": "generic", "path": "charts/litellm-operator/Chart.yaml" },
  "charts/litellm-operator/README.md"
]

A plain string path ending in .yaml makes release-please select its YAML
updater, which re-serializes the document: every comment (including the
x-release-please-version annotations themselves) is stripped and appVersion
is never stamped. The typed generic form does a line-oriented replacement and
preserves the file as written. README.md needs no type: .md already maps to
the generic updater.

Why hand-rolled badges

The generic updater replaces only the first semver on an annotated line, and it
would swallow a -color suffix as a prerelease. So each version badge uses the
shields static/v1 query form (version followed by &), keeps the version out
of its alt text, and carries its own annotation on its own line. The Type badge
keeps the plain badge/ form since it has no version to stamp.

Chart tests

No test changes were needed: tests/deployment_test.yaml already asserts the
default image by shape (matchRegex on the ghcr.io/home-operations/litellm-operator:
prefix) rather than against a hardcoded version.

Verification

All run locally against this branch:

Gate	Result
mise run helm-lint	pass (1 chart linted, 0 failed; only the pre-existing "icon is recommended" INFO)
mise run helm-test	pass (2 suites, 8 tests)
helm-docs + helm-schema regeneration then git diff --exit-code (the helm-docs-check gate)	clean, no drift
oxfmt on the changed YAML/JSON	no reformatting
helm template charts/litellm-operator	renders image: ghcr.io/home-operations/litellm-operator:0.0.9 and app.kubernetes.io/version: "0.0.9" (was 0.0.0)

Note for reviewers reproducing the docs gate locally: a stale
~/.go/bin/helm-docs can shadow the mise-pinned helm-docs 1.14.2 even under
mise run, and that build omits the "Autogenerated from chart metadata" footer,
which shows up as spurious README drift. The committed README here is the output
of the pinned 1.14.2 binary, matching CI.

Greptile Summary

Synchronizes committed Helm chart metadata with the current release version.

• Adds release-please annotations and extra-file updates for Chart.yaml and generated README badges.
• Replaces helm-docs version badge helpers with release-please-compatible static badges.
• Regenerates the chart README with version 0.0.9.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with no actionable defects identified.

The committed metadata matches the release manifest, chart consumers now receive the intended default version, and the release and documentation update paths remain internally consistent.
