Argo CD helper

Start read-only and establish the Application, destination, declared source, requested revision, project, sync policy, and resource ownership.

Useful read operations include:

argocd app get <app>
argocd app diff <app>
argocd app history <app>
argocd app manifests <app> --revision <revision>
argocd app resources <app>
argocd app logs <app>

Correlate Argo CD's view with Kubernetes objects and controller events. Separate Git source, render errors, comparison, sync operation, health assessment, and application runtime behavior.

Before a sync, rollback, terminate, delete, or prune operation:

1. resolve the exact target and revision;
2. inspect active operations and ownership markers;
3. understand hooks, waves, finalizers, sync options, ignored differences, and

prune propagation;

1. preview the diff or rendered manifests;
2. use the repository's owning release workflow when one exists;
3. read back operation and runtime state.

Never classify a resource as safe to prune from OutOfSync alone. Never terminate an operation merely because another operation wants the same revision; establish ownership.

Read applicationsets.md for generators and rollouts, multi-source-and-notifications.md for those features, and troubleshooting.md for version-aware diagnosis. Verify current flags and semantics against official Argo CD documentation.
