Bump Kubernetes e2e test tool versions and add Renovate managers#4105
Conversation
Update Kind CLI (v0.29.0 → v0.31.0), Chainsaw (v0.2.12 → v0.2.14), and Helm CLI (v3.14.0 → v3.20.0) across CI workflows. Add custom Renovate regex managers so these versions are auto-bumped in the future, and pin Helm to v3.x to avoid accidental v4 major upgrades. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Several CI tools used in Kubernetes e2e workflows were behind their latest versions, and Renovate had no custom managers to auto-bump them. This updates the tools and adds Renovate coverage so they stay current.

Test plan
Verified kindest/node image compatibility: Kind v0.31.0 supports v1.33.7, v1.34.3, and v1.35.x which are the images in the workflow matrix. CI workflows will validate end-to-end on push.

The
# kind,# chainsaw, and# helminline comments are required for the Renovate custom regex managers to disambiguateversion:fields in the workflow YAML. Without them, Renovate would match unrelatedversion:parameters.The Helm package rule blocks major version bumps (v4.x) since chart-testing compatibility with Helm 4 hasn't been verified.
