description: >-
  Installs Kong Ingress Controller, deploys the product chart with ingress.enabled=true and
  ingress.className=kong, and verifies end-to-end routing through the Kong proxy data path via the
  chart's built-in Ingress resource. Also includes a KongPlugin gap-probe documenting that the
  sample chart exposes no konghq.com/plugins annotation or KongPlugin CRD knob, which is an honest
  gap (red cell) — do NOT over-engineer the chart.
