Research direction

Read the CI version-bump check and chart packaging configuration, including .helmignore, then compare their behavior with the related issue #839. Identify how README-only changes are classified and verify that documentation files remain in packaged chart archives. Done means documentation-only changes do not require a chart version bump and all chart files are still included.

Description

ci enhancement

CI should allow documentation-only changes to chart files without requiring chart version bumps or excluding those files from packaged charts.

The version-bump check currently treats README changes as chart changes. Adding documentation files to .helmignore avoids that check but also removes them from the packaged chart archive. Instead, CI should distinguish documentation-only changes from changes that require a version bump, while preserving all chart files in the package.
