-# Bare Grafana dashboard JSON files are kept here as a CONVENIENCE source
-# for the file-provisioning path on noc1 (per
-# feedback_grafana_dashboard_shape_depends_on_noc1_delivery_path and
-# feedback_monitoring_k8s_target_vs_live_podman). They are NOT K8s
-# manifests — they have no `apiVersion` / `kind` / `metadata`. ArgoCD's
-# kubernetesIngress provider tries to unmarshal every file in the
-# directory and chokes on raw dashboard JSON with "Object 'Kind' is
-# missing", which then poisons manifest generation for the whole
-# infra-monitoring Application.
-#
-# When a dashboard needs to be K8s-deployed (i.e. file-provisioned via
-# Grafana sidecar in noc-monitoring.yaml), wrap the JSON in a ConfigMap
-# YAML next to it (see grafana-dashboard-remotedesktop.yaml as the
-# canonical pattern).
