## Summary - Delete the old 3-phase Helm chart upgrade plan (predates Mikado system) - Create C2 Mikado chain with goal card `upgrade-grafana` and two leaf prereqs: - `kustomize-grafana-deployment` — convert Helm to kustomize manifests - `build-grafana-container` — home-built Grafana 12.x image (no upstream containers) - Record first-ever Grafana review: currently at v11.4.0 on Helm chart 8.8.2 - Update service-versions.yaml, how-to index, and plans index ## Service Review Findings - Grafana is healthy and synced in ArgoCD - Running v11.4.0, latest upstream is 12.3.3 - Breaking changes for 12.x are low-risk (React panels only, UIDs compliant) - PVC is disposable — dashboards and datasources are all config-provisioned ## Deployment and Testing - [ ] No deployment needed — documentation-only change - [ ] `docs-check-links` passes - [ ] `docs-check-index` passes Reviewed-on: https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/blumeops/pulls/258
