v2.9 to 2.10

managedNamespaceMetadata no longer preserves client-side-applied labels or annotations

Argo CD 2.10 upgraded kubectl from 1.24 to 1.26. This upgrade introduced a change where client-side-applied labels and annotations are no longer preserved when using a server-side kubectl apply. This change affects the managedNamespaceMetadata field of the Application CRD. Previously, labels and annotations applied via a client-side apply would be preserved when managedNamespaceMetadata was enabled. Now, those existing labels and annotation will be removed.

To avoid unexpected behavior, follow the client-side to server-side resource upgrade guide before enabling managedNamespaceMetadata on an existing namespace.
