Kokumi is an experimental Kubernetes operator that renders Helm and Kustomize input into OCI artifacts, pushes them to a registry (optionally an in-cluster registry), and creates an Argo CD Application pointing at the produced digest so clusters pull immutable revisions. It exposes Order / Preparation / Serving CRDs to record builds and promotion, offers a UI for diffing and promoting rendered manifests, and targets edge and air-gapped distribution bundle workflows; it currently lacks full SCM-style blame, PR discussion, and some enterprise auth/webhook integrations, but 1.14 adds login and private registry support.
