Potentially-breaking changes * Kustomize builds that render Helm charts no longer honor `helmGlobals.configHome`. Ordinary `http`, `https`, and `oci` chart repositories still work. Builds that depended on a Helm plugin registered from that directory will not ([GHSA-fw5c-w8rc-j7fx](https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/security/advisories/GHSA-fw5c-w8rc-j7fx)).
