Walkthrough

The comparison command adds an --allow-sensitive-kinds option. Live discovery skips four sensitive resource kinds by default and reports them. Tests and documentation cover enabling the option.

Changes

Sensitive Resource Comparison

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Comparison option and live discovery pkg/compare/compare.go	Adds Options.AllowSensitiveKinds and the --allow-sensitive-kinds flag. Live discovery excludes Secret, OAuthAccessToken, OAuthClient, and ServiceAccount by default, then reports skipped kinds in sorted order.
Comparison fixture and command coverage pkg/compare/compare_test.go	Preserves the new setting in test fixtures, adds a builder, enables it in selected comparisons, and passes the CLI flag when configured.
Sensitive-kind usage documentation README.md, docs/user-guide.md	Documents the flag and shows how to compare sensitive resources from a live cluster.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d6dad

Live comparisons now exclude sensitive resource kinds by default, with an explicit option for users who need to include them. The associated test fixtures opt in only where sensitive resources are required, and no current merge-blocking risk remains.

- Line 339: Remove the allowSensitiveKinds default from defaultTest in
compare_test.go so the baseline fixture matches the production default of
Options.AllowSensitiveKinds being false. Keep defaultTest as the non-sensitive
baseline and apply withAllowSensitiveKinds() only in the specific fixtures or
tests that need sensitive resources, using the existing defaultTest and
withAllowSensitiveKinds helpers to locate the change.
