+# KSV-0125: Restrict container images to trusted registries
+# Why ignored: The container image path is dynamically constructed using Helm templates 
+# (e.g., "{{- if and $c.registry ... }}") and defaults to ghcr.io. Trivy performs static 
+# analysis on raw templates before values are rendered, and flags the Go template syntax 
+# itself as an untrusted registry name.

+# KSV-0020 / KSV-0021: Runs with UID/GID <= 10000
+# Why ignored: OpenShift's Security Context Constraints (SCC) dynamically allocate 
+# extremely high range UIDs and GIDs (e.g., 1000600000+) at runtime. Hardcoding specific 
+# UIDs/GIDs like 10001 in these Helm templates to satisfy the static scanner will trigger 
+# admission webhook rejections on standard OpenShift namespaces.

+AVD-KSV-0021
+
+# KSV-0011: CPU not limited
+# Why ignored: Om, our smart coworker, advised removing CPU limits to allow containers 
+# to burst into unallocated node capacity, preventing unnecessary throttling during peak load.
