Environment

• Operator Version: v1.1.0
• Kubernetes Version: v1.30.5+k3s1

Additional context
I have tried #333 but doesn't work...

Reloader does not print any logs something like: "detects something is changed so restarted something".

hi @lesomnus, can you share what part of reloader deployment stays out of sync pls?

[lesomnus]

Im not sure that Deployment/reloader-reloader (is this what you menat by "part"?) is the cause of out-of-sync, but ArgoCD shows it is out of sync.

Just for the note, ArgoCD reports some resource is out-of-sync if the deployed resource is not same as the resourec definition from the remote repository (Helm or Git).

Current situation:

1. Deploy Reloader to ArgoCD using kustomization.
2. Deployed and ArgoCD reports the state is in "sync".
3. After some seconds, it became "out-of=sync" state.
4. ArgoCD starts sync process, Deployment got chaned to sync with repository (but Im not sure which field is changed).
5. go 2, repeat.

Argocd can show the difference between the live state and the desired state in its UI, I was referring to that screenshot/manifest details. So, i want to see which fields of the reloader deployment are out of sync.

This blog shows how to view the diff details in argocd. https://codefresh.io/blog/argo-cd-preview-diff/

I will try to replicate it on end meanwhile

[lesomnus]

Oh, I didn't know there was a feature to view the diff.
