Wait for health:

Configuration

• Edit values.yaml for human-readable config; keep inline values in application.yaml in sync.
• Ingress is enabled on n8n.commonground.nu with class nginx. TLS via cert-manager (cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod) is configured; certificate secret is n8n-tls. Protocol is HTTPS.
• Default Service is ClusterIP on port 5678. Use Ingress or port-forward for access.

Security

• No secrets in Git; reference cluster Secrets only.
• Argo CD uses read-only repo credentials.
• Least-privilege: n8n runs in its own namespace.
