The Posit Connect Helm chart's recommended basic-configuration example (examples/connect/application-configuration/, "Configuring Posit Connect with Recommended Settings") enables off-host execution but defines no execution environment.
Off-host execution (both the backends.kubernetes runner and the legacy Launcher) requires at least one execution environment before any content can run. As a result, a user who follows the recommended example verbatim cannot run content. The requirement is not stated, and the example does not point to where execution environments are configured.
Verified against chart rstudio-connect v0.20.8 (appVersion 2026.06.0). Note that launcher.customRuntimeYaml was removed in chart 0.20.0, so the top-level executionEnvironments key is the mechanism for both backends.
The linked PR adds a minimal executionEnvironments block to both variant values files and a cross-referenced note in index.qmd pointing to the Connect Admin Guide execution-environments appendix and the Custom container images example.
