-# TRANSITIONAL prune-guard for the seed-woodpecker -> dedicated woodpecker KS
-# split. These app objects (incl. the woodpecker-ci Namespace and the live
-# server/agent) currently belong to the catch-all `apps` KS; when `woodpecker/`
-# is removed from apps/kustomization.yaml and the dedicated `woodpecker` KS
-# takes over, this annotation stops the apps KS from pruning them mid-handoff.
-# NOTE: kustomize propagates commonAnnotations into the Deployments' pod
-# templates, so applying/removing this rolls woodpecker-server + agent once each
-# — accepted (CI restart is fine). Removed once the new KS owns them (final
-# stage) so the app objects are normally prunable again.
