Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to db071

The new setup documentation asks users to verify pages that are unavailable when optional CRDs are not installed, which can make a correct installation appear broken. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness and a small documentation follow-up to make those checks conditional.

Pin the executable documentation dependencies.

docs/index.html uses mutable major-version selectors for docsify, docsify-copy-code, and docsify-pagination. package.json has no local docsify-cli dependency, so npx --yes docsify-cli serve docs can download and execute an unpinned release. Use exact versions with SRI hashes or reviewed local assets, and invoke an exact local docsify-cli dependency.

Won’t fix in this PR. This Docsify site is for local preview aid (pnpm serve-docs), not meant for production.

@aali309, acknowledged. The concern still applies because pnpm serve-docs loads and executes the CDN scripts during local preview. This change is out of scope for PR #271.

Would you like a follow-up GitHub issue to track dependency pinning for the documentation preview?

The GitOps Console plugin extends the OpenShift Container Platform web console by adding GitOps resources. The plugin is available as part of the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator and provides a console UI for managing Argo CD and Argo Rollouts custom resources.

After you install the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator, the OpenShift web console displays a **GitOps** navigation tab in the **Administrator** perspective. The plugin is enabled by default. The GitOps navigation tab replaces the previous **Environments** tab and related pages in the **Developer** perspective.
