 1. Set `global.imageRegistry`, `global.imageNamespace`, and `global.imageTag` so the chart pulls the images published by the Gitea workflow.
 2. Set `web.config.apiUrl` and `web.config.wsUrl` to browser-reachable endpoints before exposing the web UI.
 3. The shared `packs`, `runtime_envs`, and `artifacts` PVCs default to `ReadWriteMany`; your cluster storage class must support RWX or you need to override those claims.

+Agent-based workers enabled:

+    {{- if .runtimes }} runtimes={{ join "," .runtimes }}{{ else }} runtimes=auto-detect{{ end }}

+
+Each agent worker uses an init container to copy the statically-linked
+attune-agent binary into the worker pod via an emptyDir volume. The agent
+auto-detects available runtimes in the container and registers with Attune.
+
+The default sensor deployment also uses the same injection pattern, copying
+`attune-sensor-agent` into the pod before starting a stock runtime image.
+
+To add more agent workers, append entries to `agentWorkers` in your values:

+//! Integration tests for agent binary distribution endpoints

+//! The agent endpoints (`/api/v1/agent/binary` and `/api/v1/agent/info`) are
+//! intentionally unauthenticated — the agent needs to download its binary
+//! before it has JWT credentials. An optional `bootstrap_token` can restrict

+//! Attune Universal Worker Agent
+//!
+//! This is the entrypoint for the universal worker agent binary (`attune-agent`).
+//! Unlike the standard `attune-worker` binary which requires explicit runtime
+//! configuration, the agent automatically detects available interpreters in the
+//! container environment and configures itself accordingly.
+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! The agent is designed to be injected into any container image. On startup it:
+//!
+//! 1. Probes the system for available interpreters (python3, node, bash, etc.)
+//! 2. Sets `ATTUNE_WORKER_RUNTIMES` based on what it finds
+//! 3. Loads configuration (env vars are the primary config source)
+//! 4. Initializes and runs the standard `WorkerService`
+//!
+//! ## Configuration
+//!
+//! Environment variables (primary):
+//! - `ATTUNE__DATABASE__URL` — PostgreSQL connection string
+//! - `ATTUNE__MESSAGE_QUEUE__URL` — RabbitMQ connection string
+//! - `ATTUNE_WORKER_RUNTIMES` — Override auto-detection with explicit runtime list
+//! - `ATTUNE_CONFIG` — Path to optional config YAML file
+//!
+//! CLI arguments:
+//! - `--config` / `-c` — Path to configuration file (optional)
+//! - `--name` / `-n` — Worker name override
+//! - `--detect-only` — Run runtime detection, print results, and exit

+//! Dynamic Runtime Registration Module
+//!
+//! When the agent detects an interpreter on the local system (e.g., Ruby, Go, Perl)
+//! that does not yet have a corresponding runtime entry in the database, this module
+//! handles auto-registering it so that the normal runtime-loading pipeline in
+//! `WorkerService::new()` picks it up.
+//!
+//! ## Registration Strategy
+//!
+//! For each detected runtime the agent found:
+//!
+//! 1. **Look up by name** in the database using alias-aware matching.
+//! 2. **If found** → already registered (either from a pack YAML or a previous
+//!    agent run). Nothing to do.
+//! 3. **If not found** → search for a runtime *template* in loaded packs whose
+//!    normalized name matches. Templates are pack-registered runtimes (e.g.,
+//!    `core.ruby`) that provide the full `execution_config` needed to invoke
+//!    the interpreter, manage environments, and install dependencies.
+//! 4. **If a template is found** → clone it as an auto-detected runtime with
+//!    `auto_detected = true` and populate `detection_config` with what the
+//!    agent discovered (binary path, version, etc.).
+//! 5. **If no template exists** → create a minimal runtime with just the
+//!    detected interpreter binary path and file extension. This lets the agent
+//!    execute simple scripts immediately, even without a full template.
+//! 6. Mark all auto-registered runtimes with `auto_detected = true`.

+# Agent-Based Worker Services
+#
+# This override file demonstrates how to add custom runtime workers to Attune
+# by injecting the universal worker agent into any container image.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml -f docker-compose.agent.yaml up -d
+#
+# Prerequisites:
+#   The init-agent service (defined in docker-compose.yaml) must be present.
+#   It builds the statically-linked worker and sensor agent binaries and populates the agent_bin volume.
+#
+# How it works:
+#   1. init-agent builds musl-static injected agent binaries and copies them to the agent_bin volume
+#   2. Each worker service mounts agent_bin read-only and uses the agent as its entrypoint
+#   3. The agent auto-detects available runtimes in the container (python, ruby, node, etc.)
+#   4. No Dockerfile needed — just point at any container image with your desired runtime
+#
+# Adding your own worker:
+#   Copy one of the examples below and change:
+#   - service name (e.g., worker-my-runtime)
+#   - image (any Docker image with your runtime installed)
+#   - ATTUNE_WORKER_NAME (unique name for this worker)
+#   - Optionally set ATTUNE_WORKER_RUNTIMES to override auto-detection
