## Sidecar Mode Implementation Details

Istio CNI injection is currently based on the same Pod annotations used in init-container/inject mode.

### Selection API

- plugin config "exclude namespaces" applies first
- ambient is enabled if:

func NewCollection[I, O any](c Collection[I], hf TransformationSingle[I, O], opts ...CollectionOption) Collection[O] {
	// For implementation simplicity, represent TransformationSingle as a TransformationMulti so we can share an implementation.
	hm := func(ctx HandlerContext, i I) []O {
		res := hf(ctx, i)
		if res == nil {
			return nil
		}
		return []O{*res}
	}

)

// DeploymentController implements a controller that materializes a Gateway into an in cluster gateway proxy
// to serve requests from. This is implemented with a Deployment and Service today.
// The implementation makes a few non-obvious choices - namely using Server Side Apply from go templates
// and not using controller-runtime.
//
// controller-runtime has a number of constraints that make it inappropriate for usage here, despite this

	// DisableAutomountSAToken indicates to opt out of auto mounting ServiceAccount's API credentials
	DisableAutomountSAToken bool

	// Ports for this application. Port numbers may or may not be used, depending
	// on the implementation.
	Ports Ports

	// ServiceAnnotations is annotations on service object.
	ServiceAnnotations map[string]string

	// ServiceLabels is the labels on service object.
	ServiceLabels map[string]string

  // * Kubernetes-defined prefixed names:
  //   * 'kubernetes.io/h2c' - HTTP/2 over cleartext as described in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7540

  // * Other protocols should use implementation-defined prefixed names such as
  // mycompany.com/my-custom-protocol.
  // +optional
  optional string appProtocol = 4;
}

// EndpointSlice represents a subset of the endpoints that implement a service.

## Issue management

We use GitHub to track all of our bugs and feature requests. Each issue we track has a variety of metadata:

For consistency, the same profiles are used across each chart, even if they do not impact a given chart.

Explicitly set values have highest priority, then profile settings, then chart defaults.

As an implementation detail of profiles, the default values for the chart are all nested under `defaults`.
When configuring the chart, you should not include this.
That is, `--set some.field=true` should be passed, not `--set defaults.some.field=true`.
