+# Bootstrap Application, applied once by hand (like incubator/*.yaml) —
+# ArgoCD can't sync its own entry points. Syncs everything under projects/
+# so AppProject objects (like "devops") are GitOps-managed instead of a
+# manual one-off kubectl apply. Mirrors devops-argo-config's
+# app-of-projects.yaml, which this repo never had an equivalent of.
+#
+# Uses the built-in "default" project (always exists) — no chicken-and-egg
+# problem, since what it deploys (AppProject CRs) doesn't itself require a
+# pre-existing project.
