Hi @cgruver. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a eclipse-che member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

@cgruver : It seems you need to update go version on your local system. Project requires Go 1.25.5

go 1.25.5

@rohanKanojia I'm doing the development in a Dev Spaces workspace, I think we need to update the dev image that is specified in the devfile.yaml.

@cgruver
Since the defaults in the CheCluster CR have been updated, all existing installations will retain the previous values without CAP_CHOWN. Is that acceptable?
