```csharp

public sealed class HelmReleaseResource
    : Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.ContainerResource,
      Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResource,
      Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceWithParent,

## ATS metadata

### ATS export

- Type ID: `CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.K3s/HelmReleaseResource`
- Public instance properties are exported as ATS capabilities.

## Remarks

The release runs as an `alpine/helm` container. The container polls until the cluster kubeconfig is available, executes `helm upgrade --install --wait`, then exits with code 0. Use `WaitForCompletion(helmRelease)` on resources that depend on the chart being fully installed.
