Previously holos render platform was not setting the --extract-yaml file
when calling holos render component, causing data file instances defined
in the Platform spec to be discarded.
This patch passes the value along using the flag.
Previously there isn't a good way to unify json and yaml files with the
cue configuration. This is a problem for use cases where data can be
generated idempotentialy prior to rendering the platform configuration.
The first use case is to explore unifying configuration with decrypted
sops values, which isn't typical since Holos is designed to handle
secrets with ExternalSecret resources, but does fit into the use case of
executing a command to produce data idempotently, then make the data
available to the platform configuration.
Other use cases this feature is intended to support are the prior
experiment where we fetch top level platform configuration from an rpc
service, and the future goal of integrating with data provided by
Terraform.
PROBLEM:
We've noticed that Holos almost immediately gets compared to Timoni, and
we frequently get asked for specifics in how they're similar/different.
SOLUTION:
* Add a `Comparison` page.
* Include a section that compares Holos to Timoni
OUTCOME:
Fewer questions about how Holos compares to Timoni because people are
able to find that answer themselves on our docs page.
It didn't work, failed with:

This was likely because the podinfo component was used in different ways
in different topics. Don't use the shared component to fix the problem.
Previously holos unconditionally executed helm repo add which failed for
private repositories requiring basic authentication.
This patch addresses the problem by using the Helm SDK to pull and cache
charts without adding them as repositories. New fields for the
core.Helm type allow basic auth credentials to be read from environment
variables.
Multiple repositories are supported by using different env vars for
different repositories.
PROBLEM:
We've created a YouTube video walking people through Holos and the Helm
Values tutorial, but now we need to embed it on the site for visitors to
watch.
SOLUTION:
* Create a `YouTube` MDX plugin
* Use that plugin on Overview and Helm Values
* Tune the video size/attributes using CSS
OUTCOME:
The Helm Values YouTube video is embedded on our site for visitors to
watch.
This shows up in the Unity tests I'm working on with mvdan and goes to a
blank page without the redirect in place.

Without this patch the validator fails if a component manages two of the
same kind of resource, which is common.
This patch updates the example to use the metadata namespace and name as
lookup keys. This works for most components, but may not for
ClusterResources. Use the kind top level field in that case and pass
the field name of the validator as a tag value to vary by component.
Similar to the Clusters topic, add a topic about configuring multiple
environments. This likely needs some work, the example is a bit
contrivied but at least shows how we can look up attributes, then use
those attributes to look up additional configuration from platform-wide
configuration data.
This commit removes the extra `./platform` argument from any of the
current tutorial/topic docs to reflect the change that was made to
`holos render platform` in version `0.100.0`.
Without this patch the BuildPlan resulting from a Platform that has
components with labels and annotations does not have the labels or
annotations of the source component.
Holos should copy the labels and annotations defined on each of the
Platform.spec.components to the resulting BuildPlan so end users can see
clearly where a BuildPlan originated from, and filter with selectors the
intermediate output BuildPlan the same way we filter with selectors the
original Platform spec components list.
Result:
```
holos init platform v1alpha5 --force
holos show buildplans | head
```
```yaml
kind: BuildPlan
apiVersion: v1alpha5
metadata:
name: podinfo
labels:
app.holos.run/cluster: local
app.holos.run/name: podinfo
annotations:
app.holos.run/description: podinfo for cluster local
```
Sometimes, but not always, the holos show buildplans command produces no
output.
```
❯ holos show buildplans --selector app.holos.run/cluster==w3 --log-level=debug
finalized config from flags
rendered platform in 13.458µs
```
It only happens when there's a selector. It doesn't happen without the
selector flag. It only happens with ==, not with =.
This test fails quickly.
```
while [[ $(holos show buildplans --selector app.holos.run/cluster==w3 --log-level=debug | wc -l) -eq 39 ]]; do true; done
```
This test runs until killed.
```
while [[ $(holos show buildplans --log-level=debug | wc -l) -eq 279 ]]; do true; done
```
Solution:
The problem is the use of the map. Iterating over the keys happens in a
random order. With the fix we check in an explicit order.
Show subcommand:
This is large change that accomplishes a number of goals. First, there
was no convenient way to show a build plan without using the debug logs
to indentify the tags to inject, then calling the cue command with the
right incantation to inspect the BuildPlan.
This patch addresses the problem by adding a `holos show buildplans`
command. The command loads the Platform spec from the platform
directory, then iterates over all Components to produce the BuildPlan.
This patch adds labels and annotations to the platform Components
collection in order to select and filter the output.
Result:
```
❯ holos show components --selector app.holos.run/cluster=local --format=yaml | head
kind: BuildPlan
apiversion: v1alpha5
metadata:
name: podinfo
spec:
artifacts:
- artifact: clusters/local/components/podinfo/podinfo.gen.yaml
generators:
- kind: Helm
output: helm.gen.yaml
```

Interface refactor:
This refactors the interface between the `holos` Go CLI layer and the
various core schema data structures. We now use a proper Go interface.
Concurrent execution over platform components has been improved to
accept a closure function so we can use the same interface method to
process the components. We use this to show each component and render
each component from different subcommands using the same interface
embedded in the builder.Platform struct.
The embedded interface allows us to easily swap in different versions,
e.g. v1beta1 and eventually v1. The number of interface methods are
quite small. 14 methods across 4 interfaces in holos/interface.go.
---
Remove old versions:
This patch removes support for versions prior to v1alpha5 in an effort
to clean up cruft.
Previously we didn't have good documentation on how to manage multiple
sets of clusters.
This patch adds a clusters topic in the structures category. Each one
of the environments, projects, owners, etc... structures follow the same
pattern as #Clusters and #ClusterSets, so it makes sense to put them
into a dedicated sidebar category for specific CUE structures.
When we moved from v1alpha4 to v1alpha5 we removed ArgoConfig from the
author schema. There was no longer a clear example of how to configure
an ArgoCD Application for every component in v1alpha5.
This patch adds a topic document with an example of how to add an
Application along side the resources by mixing an additional Artifact
into the BuildPlan.
Previously the Helm generator had no support for the --kube-version
flag. This is a problem for helm charts that conditionally render
resources based on this capability.
This patch plumbs support through the author and core schemas with a new
field similar to how the enable hooks field is handled.
Previously the Helm generator had no support for the --api-versions
flag. This is a problem for helm charts that conditionally render

Version doesn't make as much sense since we're doing a hello world
tutorial.
Also consolidate the values information into one step, and consolidate
the breaking it down section to make it shorter and clearer.
