- Add pre-commit hook (scripts/hooks/pre-commit) that automatically calculates
MD5 checksums of ConfigMaps (element-values.yaml, synapse-values.yaml)
- Update annotations in kustomization.yaml to trigger Flux CD HelmRelease syncs
- Add install script (scripts/install-hooks.sh) for easy hook setup
- Add comprehensive documentation (docs/ops-configmap-sync.md) explaining:
* Why Flux doesn't auto-detect ConfigMap changes
* How the checksum-based workaround works
* How to install and use the hook
* Troubleshooting and manual sync procedures
- Update README.md with post-clone hook installation step
This solves the issue where Flux CD doesn't automatically re-deploy when external
ConfigMaps are modified. Users no longer need manual checksum updates.
