The opni agents will be updated automatically when updating the manager. in general you will not have to touch the agent helm charts after the initial installation, although future major updates could require making changes to cluster resources that the agent cannot itself modify, such as rbac rules or some custom resources.

This self-update behavior may aggravate gitops tools like fleet, flux, or argocd that want to explicitly manage the opni-agent installation footprint. In light of this, it would seem ideal if the helm install agent footprint itself was as minimalist as possible.

I agree, using a helm chart for the agent sort of contradicts how it is intended to be managed. we are going to revisit this soon, maybe before GA but maybe not
