The value only ever populated the `spec.ingressClassName` field of the Ingress resource, so the shortened name was a needless deviation from the Kubernetes API. `ingress.className` carried a `DEPRECATED` marker since #679, but that marker was a leftover: the rename to the canonical name was proposed there, rejected during review and the follow-up commits only removed the half-merged template fallback. The marker stayed behind for a year while the value remained the one and only way to set the Ingress class, which made the documentation actively misleading. The deprecation guard uses `hasKey` instead of a truthiness check on purpose. The previous chart default was an empty string, so vendored values files tend to carry `ingress.className: ""` verbatim. A truthiness check would silently ignore those and leave users wondering why their Ingress class is no longer applied. Co-authored-by: Copilot <copilot@github.com>
