Changed files: - docs/deployment/production.md: NetworkPolicy namespaceSelector - docs/troubleshooting/network-problems.md: NetworkPolicy namespaceSelector - docs/user-guide/rbac-permissions.md: NetworkPolicy namespaceSelector - e2e/README.md: kubectl commands for local E2E testing Files NOT changed (upstream workload namespace - out of scope per PRI-340): - Source files, tests, or configs referencing where Polaris runs Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
