YAML validation

Checked for yq to support YAML validation alongside Ruby and Python. Binary was not available in the environment, so it was not used beyond version probe.

What got in the way
Tool missing meant no validation could be performed with it.

Inspecting and validating rendered YAML resources

Downloaded yq and used it to extract Helm values, enumerate rendered Kubernetes kinds, inspect secrets, environment variables, labels, annotations, service accounts, and parse YAML files. It was central to finding unnecessary chart resources.

What worked
Queries made large multi-document chart output easy to inspect and supported targeted least-privilege checks.
What got in the way
One value-composition pipeline failed with a terse type error, requiring the rendering approach to be adjusted.
