Collect Chart Annotations: Make it possible to create custom template with the Chart.yaml annotations

[gerardnico]

I have searched intensively how I could use the annotations field of Chart.yaml and I could find anything.

This issue is more a sort of request doubled with a documentation over a solution.

Case

We set a metadata in the annotations field of Chart.yaml
and we want to create custom template such as:

{{- if eq ( index .Annotations "chart.kubee/status") "alpha" }}
> [!WARNING]
> This chart is in the {{ template "kubee-chart-status-label" "alpha status" }} and is not fit to be installed.
{{-end }}

Expected Behavior

Should work

Current Behavior

Does not work

Possible Solution

• Collect the annotations in the .Annotations field
• Uses .Files.Get to parse it again.

{{ $chartYaml := (.Files.Get "Chart.yaml") | fromYaml }}
{{- if eq (index $chartYaml.annotations "chart.kubee/status") "alpha" }}
> [!WARNING]
> This chart is in the {{ template "kubee-chart-status-label" "alpha status" }} and is not fit to be installed.
{{- end }}

This solution works but I was expecting the whole Chart.yaml to be available, the Helm ways. ie .Chart.Name, .Values.
