Editing and actions
YAML editing with a diff before every apply, operator actions behind confirmations, and per-context write guards.
YAML
- The YAML view writes back with a full replace, so a concurrent modification is rejected by the API server rather than silently overwritten.
- A diff is shown before every apply.
Actions
Scale, rollout restart, delete, cordon and drain are available on the objects they apply to, each behind a confirmation — and hidden entirely where RBAC would refuse them, so a button you can see is one you can use.
Guards
Each context carries a write guard, chosen from Writes in the status bar:
| Setting | Guard | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Allowed | — | Writes go through after their normal confirmation. |
| Confirm each | Protected | Every write is confirmed by typing the context's name. |
| Refused | Read-only | Writes are refused outright. |
The guard is stored per context, shown in the status bar, and tints it — so a production cluster does not look like a local one.
A guard is Loupe's own safeguard, not RBAC. It does not change what your credentials are allowed to do, only what Loupe will send.
