Release v0.12.1 adds Helm release management, an Artifact Hub app catalog, multi‑namespace table selection, extensive native Kubernetes resources, and a deployment expose dialog for Services.

Why it matters: Plan to test the new Helm integration and App catalog in dev environments before production use; evaluate migration of existing resource workflows to leverage multi‑namespace tables and expanded API surface.
