A Helm chart version inside values pins nothing in Pulumi

In Pulumi’s k8s.helm.v3.Chart, a chart version inside values pins nothing:

new k8s.helm.v3.Chart('cluster-autoscaler', {
  chart: 'cluster-autoscaler',
  fetchOpts: { repo: 'https://kubernetes.github.io/autoscaler' },
  values: {
    autoDiscovery: { clusterName: 'prod' },
    version: '9.21.0', // just another chart value
  },
})

Pulumi hands it to the chart as one more value, and no template reads it. With no version on the chart, Pulumi fetches the latest release. A newer chart then lands on the next pulumi up with no change to your code. The TypeScript types accept it, since values takes any key. The chart ships no values schema, so Helm accepts it as well.

Move it up a level, next to chart:

new k8s.helm.v3.Chart('cluster-autoscaler', {
  chart: 'cluster-autoscaler',
  version: '9.21.0',
  fetchOpts: { repo: 'https://kubernetes.github.io/autoscaler' },
  values: {
    autoDiscovery: { clusterName: 'prod' },
  },
})

The chart you got is in the helm.sh/chart label: kubectl get deploy -A -L helm.sh/chart shows cluster-autoscaler-9.21.0 once the pin holds.
