Users choose their own namespace for Headlamp. Replace all hardcoded namespace references (headlamp, kube-system) in user-facing docs with <your-namespace> so users substitute their own value. Conventions: - Helm install: --namespace <your-namespace> --create-namespace - kubectl commands: -n <your-namespace> - YAML metadata: namespace: <your-namespace> - Prose: "the namespace where Headlamp is installed" Out-of-scope references left untouched: - kube-system in NetworkPolicy selectors (API server namespace) - polaris namespace references (upstream workload namespace) - Source code and test files Refs: PRI-433 Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
