139-142: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 TrivialConfirm the startup sequence documentation.
This change modifies the local cluster startup failure contract. Ask whether the architecture or sequence diagrams cover this interaction, and update them if needed.
As per coding guidelines, "When a change modifies runtime behavior, data flow, or component interactions, ask whether architecture or sequence diagrams need updating."

Update the conflicting observability defaults in documentation.
Both base files set observability.profile to disabled, but the compute-plane README advertises compute and the shared observability README advertises control for self-managed deployments. Update both documents.
The existing profile tests cover explicit overrides, not the defaults inherited from either base file. Add assertions for both base-file defaults.

Add focused regression tests for the changed failure contracts.
Add or update a hyphenated test entrypoint that stubs k3d and verifies:
- Cluster and port environment variables reach
k3d cluster create. make ensure-clusterreturns nonzero when creation fails.make startreturns nonzero when startup fails.- Successful startup still reaches
ensure-context.
The existing test-multicluster-make target is described as name-derivation coverage, so it does not establish these lifecycle contracts.
As per coding guidelines, "Code changes must include tests." As per path instructions, "For changed tool behavior, add or update focused tests."
Also applies to: 108-111, 139-142

Summary
Harden the local self-hosted installation flow so cluster lifecycle failures are surfaced and Helmfile applies stack state files in dependency order.
Key Changes
self-hosted installso Helm 4 uses sequential Helmfile state processing and legacy Helm tracking.Why
Modern Helmfile versions process a
helmfile.ddirectory in parallel unless sequential processing is requested. That can create core service Pods before the OpenBao injector webhook is ready, leaving the Pods without their injected secret files.Refs #1138.
