3.5 is tested on Kubernetes 1.32 to 1.36; 3.4 stops at 1.35. It renders Helm charts with Helm 4.2.1 instead of 3.19; rendering all thirteen Helm apps with both gave the same manifests apart from whitespace, comments and document order.
ingress-nginx is gone and every app is served by the Envoy Gateway. The certificates were created by cert-manager's ingress-shim and are owned by the Ingresses, so each app now declares its Certificate itself, with the same name, secret and usages, so nothing gets reissued. gateway-shim can't take over because the certificates live in the app namespaces.
immich drops mbg.hensen.io, which has no route, so that one certificate is reissued through the Gateway's HTTP-01 solver.
Also removes the Longhorn test-port redirect URI and updates comments that still described nginx.
With server.insecure, TLS ends at nginx or Envoy and argocd-server serves plain HTTP, which is how Argo CD documents the Gateway API setup. The nginx Ingress now talks HTTP to the http port; the ssl-passthrough annotation did nothing without the controller flag. argocd-folder diffs server-side for the new HTTPRoute.
The Argo CD v2.14.2 image (Ubuntu 24.04, ca-certificates 20240203) and the
dex image still trust the eMudhra intermediates whose keys leaked
(https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com), and the repo server fetches git
and Helm repos over that trust store. A forged certificate there means
arbitrary manifests in the cluster.
patched-ca-bundle holds the bundle from Alpine ca-certificates-bundle
20261020-r0 and replaces /etc/ssl/certs in every Argo CD container except
redis. The whole directory goes, since OpenSSL and Go also read the
per-root files next to ca-certificates.crt. It uses server-side apply to
keep the bundle out of the last-applied annotation.
