## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Bug Fixes**
* Error messages for undefined environment variables in GitOps
configurations now include clearer, actionable guidance with examples of
how to escape literal dollar-sign syntax (e.g., showing escaped forms).
This improves clarity when a variable is missing and helps users
distinguish between intended variable references and literal values,
reducing confusion.
