What it does

KUSTOMIZE GENERATOR plugin (C8/M13) — the pure manifest generation that turns a deployment node + a kind:k8s cluster template + the image’s ports/uid/gid into a Kustomize base/ + overlays// tree (Deployment/StatefulSet/DaemonSet/Job/ CronJob/Pod, Service, PVCs, Ingress, kustomization wiring). Carved out of charly core (charly/k8s_generate.go); charly’s in-core GenerateK8sKustomize is a thin shim that extracts ports/uid/gid from the image Capabilities, Invokes this plugin’s OpEmit, then does the disk I/O + the host-side egress gate before the bytes hit disk. Compiled-in (the deploy + from-box paths call it).
