-#!/bin/sh
-#
-# Renovate runner bootstrap / entrypoint.
-#
-# Renovate has NO preUpgradeTasks hook (schema only exposes postUpgradeTasks),
-# and postUpgradeTasks runs AFTER Renovate has already edited the dependency
-# files. That matters because these `values.yaml` files are SOPS documents:
-# the `sops:` metadata block carries a `mac:` that authenticates the whole
-# file, so ANY edit (even to a plaintext `image.tag`) invalidates it and makes
-# `sops -d` fail with a MAC/data-integrity error. You cannot decrypt the file
-# *after* Renovate has touched it.
-#
-# So we decrypt BEFORE Renovate extracts any dependency info:
-#   1. clone the repo into the exact checkout path Renovate will reuse
-#   2. `sops -d -i` every values.yaml in place (plaintext, no `sops:` block)
-#   3. local-commit the decrypted working tree onto the local base branch
-#      (NOT pushed -> encrypted blobs stay in remote git, no plaintext secrets
-#      ever leave the runner)
-#   4. run Renovate. It now reads plaintext tags and edits plaintext files.
-#      postUpgradeTasks only needs `sops -e -i` (encrypt) to rebuild a valid
-#      SOPS document containing the bumped tag.
-#
-# The local commit is important: step 3 makes `git checkout <base>` restore the
-# decrypted content from the LOCAL branch rather than the encrypted remote blob,
-# so Renovate's branch operations don't silently resurrect the encrypted file
-# and re-introduce the MAC-mismatch problem.
