What does the `selfHeal` option add to an automated sync policy?

Question

Accepted Answer

It reverts manual live changes, resyncing the cluster to Git without a new commit — selfHeal reverts direct live edits back to Git even without a new commit. It doesn't restart crashed Pods (not drift correction), doesn't fix Git manifests, and isn't retry or backoff for failed syncs.

Answer

Answer

It automatically fixes invalid manifests in Git before they are applied

Answer

It retries a failed sync repeatedly until the operation finally succeeds
