name: "Create Kind Cluster"
description: >-
Spins up a local Kubernetes cluster (Kind) so CI jobs can run against a real
cluster without each workflow re-implementing the setup inline. Exports
KUBECONFIG so subsequent steps can talk to the cluster directly.
inputs:
kubernetes-version:
description: Kubernetes version for the cluster.
