-# Pre-upgrade Job: keep enabled for normal Helm upgrades (disable only if GitOps sync fights the Job).
+# Pre-upgrade Job disabled: Argo CD triggers this hook on every sync, and when Longhorn is already
+# healthy the job still fails under Argo (hook lifecycle differs from `helm upgrade`).
+# For a real chart version bump, temporarily set jobEnabled: true, run via Ansible helm upgrade, then
+# set it back to false so Argo syncs stay clean.
