[BUG] ClusterRole doesn't include secrets, only configmaps are detected

[ChameleonTartu]

Describe the bug
All configurations are ignored and only role for detecting configmaps is applied.

To Reproduce
Use for deployment any Helm version higher than v2.1.5 and set

values:
  reloader:
    ignoreSecrets: false

The role like this will be created:

kubectl get role reloader-metadata-role -n reloader -o yaml
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: Role
metadata:
  annotations:
    meta.helm.sh/release-name: reloader
    meta.helm.sh/release-namespace: reloader
  creationTimestamp: "2025-11-04T09:59:42Z"
  labels:
    app: reloader
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: reloader
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm
    app.kubernetes.io/name: reloader
    app.kubernetes.io/version: v1.4.8
    chart: reloader-2.2.3
    helm.sh/chart: reloader-2.2.3
    helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/name: reloader
    helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/namespace: reloader
    heritage: Helm
    release: reloader
  name: reloader-metadata-role
  namespace: reloader
  resourceVersion: "442390732"
  uid: d2fd7d76-8e85-41ac-9eb9-e8e933273c0a
rules:
- apiGroups:
  - ""
  resources:
  - configmaps
  verbs:
  - list
  - get
  - watch
  - create
  - update

Expected behavior
Role should include secrets, if they are explicitly wasn't excluded.

Screenshots

Environment

• Operator Version: Helm upgrade succeeded for release reloader/reloader.v3 with chart reloader@2.2.3
• Kubernetes/OpenShift Version:

kubectl version
Client Version: v1.34.1
Kustomize Version: v5.7.1
Server Version: v1.30.9

Additional context

[ChameleonTartu]

While I am digging more and more in this issue, it is apparently role.yaml that overrides clusterrole.yaml, so this creates an issue, not the fact that role.yaml itself has that extra part with configMaps.

Hey @ChameleonTartu Thanks for letting us know the issue. To proceed further, please share complete values.yaml file.

@mahmadmujtaba I share HelmRelease that includes values:

apiVersion: helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v2beta1

  namespace: reloader

  upgrade:

      autoReloadAll: true
      enableMetricsByNamespace: true
      logLevel: debug
      reloadStrategy: annotations
      rbac:
        enabled: false

Given your values I don't think neither the role nor the clusterrole would be created since both of those are dependent on reloader.rbac.enabled being set to true. Since you are setting that to false, it looks normal to me that those resources are not generated.
