Notes

• The SSH key is written to a temporary file with 600 permissions and removed after the job, even on failure.
• The overrides file is copied to the remote host via scp before the Helm upgrade.
• helm upgrade --install is run with --atomic so a failed release is automatically rolled back.
• StrictHostKeyChecking=no is used; ensure the host is trusted within your network or add host verification as needed.
