Disclaimer I dont work for Rancher - but I remember having a similar issue and if I recall correctly it appears when I specified a namespace in the Fleet config. I.e. if you specify a target namespace as abc it expects that namespace to be created before it will deploy anything - otherwise it will respect the manifests like you mentioned

Yea that's following the normal order of operations. What I am trying to figure out is if each bundle gets wrapped up in a Helm manifest and deployed then Helm should see that I have namespace charts defined and deploy those first based on Helm's execution order of operations. The other thing that's wild here is that it worked exactly as I assumed it would work previously. Meaning that the namespace charts were found and deployed first by fleet in this particular bundle.
