## What this PR does Fixes #3544. `flux-shard-operator` clones the flux-aio `helm-controller` container into each `helm-controller-shard<i>` Deployment. It already sanitises the all-in-one localhost wiring, but keeps two things that stop the standalone shard from starting behind a corporate HTTP proxy: 1. **Inherited `HTTP_PROXY`/`HTTPS_PROXY`/`NO_PROXY`.** A standalone shard needs no external egress (source-controller fetches artifacts). Behind an unreachable proxy the controller makes a blocking startup HTTPS call that never completes, the manager never serves `/healthz`, and the liveness probe crashloops the pod forever. flux-aio survives only because it starts once and never restarts. On an affected cluster every HelmRelease carrying a `sharding.fluxcd.io/key` (150 of ~240) was frozen for days, silently. 2. **No `startupProbe`.** The clone inherits only a ~30s liveness window, so any slow start (large cache sync) is fatal and unrecoverable. This PR extends the sanitisation to drop the proxy env, and derives a `startupProbe` from the liveness handler with a generous budget so a slow-but-progressing start is not killed. Verified by an A/B on a live cluster (throwaway helm-controller with a non-matching selector): with the proxy env it hangs; without it, it starts cleanly (`Starting workers`). ### Downstream repositories - [x] No downstream repository is affected by this change Internal operator behavior only; no API/CRD/values contract change. ### Release note ```release-note fix(flux-shard-operator): sharded helm-controller no longer crashloops at startup behind an HTTP proxy; the cloned controller drops the inherited proxy env and gains a startupProbe, so HelmReleases assigned to shards keep reconciling in proxied environments. ``` <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Prevented inherited proxy settings, including uppercase and lowercase variants of `NO_PROXY`, from affecting Flux shard deployments. * Automatically adds a startup health check when only a liveness check is configured. * Preserved the liveness check’s handler and timeout while applying appropriate startup timing and failure settings. * **Documentation** * Documented startup health checks for slow helm-controller startup. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
