PR #527 fixed an unescaped {{ $labels }} in a PrometheusRule annotation that broke `helm upgrade base` on every `obol stack up`. The bug shipped to integration testing because go test ./... doesn't exercise Helm rendering. This job pipes the embedded base chart through `helm template` on every PR; parse errors fail the build before merge. - Runs against ./internal/embed/infrastructure/base - Uses helm v3.20.1 (matches obolup.sh pinned version) - Also runs `helm lint` for chart-structure issues - Substitutes {{OLLAMA_HOST_IP}}/{{CLUSTER_ID}} stubs in a temp copy of the chart (mirroring what `obol stack init` does via internal/defaults/defaults.go::InfrastructureReplacements) - Future: pair with a helmfile-lint job for state-value tests If we ever land a chart-template change that this doesn't catch, expand the helm-template invocation with --set values mimicking what `obol stack up` provides.
