Answer: Helm waits for the CRDs with the watcher strategy before templates
Explanation
Without --wait, Helm 4 uses the hookOnly strategy, and before 4.3.1 that skipped waiting for CRDs too, so custom resources could be sent before their CRDs were established. 4.3.1 uses the watcher strategy for the CRD check (up to 60 seconds) while the rest of the release still follows hookOnly. Upgrades still never touch the crds/ directory.
