docs: remove incorrect watchPlugins: false references
Remove all references to the incorrect `config.watchPlugins: false` requirement that was believed necessary for Headlamp v0.39.0+. Investigation revealed that plugins work correctly with the default `watchPlugins: true` setting. The earlier documentation was based on a misunderstanding of the plugin loading mechanism. Changes: - Remove watchPlugins: false from all YAML configuration examples - Remove warning sections about watchPlugins requirement - Update troubleshooting guides to focus on actual issues - Simplify installation instructions by removing unnecessary config Files updated: - README.md (main installation docs and troubleshooting table) - docs/DEPLOYMENT.md - docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md - docs/getting-started/* (quick-start, installation, prerequisites) - docs/deployment/* (helm, production) - docs/troubleshooting/* (common-issues, README) - Multiple other doc files formatted by prettier This cleanup ensures ArtifactHub and GitHub documentation show correct, simplified installation instructions.

## Known Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Plugin Loading Issue (Headlamp v0.39.0+)
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom:** Plugin appears in Settings but not in sidebar
|
||||
|
||||
**Cause:** `config.watchPlugins: true` (default) treats catalog plugins as development plugins
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
config:
|
||||
watchPlugins: false # Required for plugin manager
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause:**
|
||||
|
||||
With `watchPlugins: true`, Headlamp backend serves plugin metadata but frontend never executes the JavaScript. This causes plugins to appear in Settings but no sidebar/routes/settings work.
|
||||
|
||||
**Documentation:** See `deployment/PLUGIN_LOADING_FIX.md` in repository for full analysis.
|
||||
|
||||
**After Fix:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Restart Headlamp deployment
|
||||
- Hard refresh browser (**Cmd+Shift+R** / **Ctrl+Shift+R**)
|
||||
|
||||
### Skipped Count Limitation
|
||||
|
||||
**Symptom:** "Skipped" count in UI is lower than native Polaris dashboard
