Remove cr.kagent.dev alias usage by EItanya · Pull Request #2177 · kagent-dev/kagent

EItanya · 2026-07-07T20:46:21Z

Summary

replace cr.kagent.dev image defaults and test expectations with ghcr.io
download CLI install assets from GitHub releases instead of the cr.kagent.dev alias
update release docs and generated translator golden outputs

Testing

go test ./core/internal/controller/translator/agent ./core/pkg/sandboxbackend/substrate
helm unittest -f 'tests/deployment' helm/kagent
git diff --check

Note: full helm unittest helm/kagent still fails on the existing agent-nodeselector_test.yaml suite unrelated to this change.

I'm really sorry @marcellodesales, that's exactly why we're trying to move away, for now you can just use ghcr.io to get around it!
