compatibleWith

meta.compatibleWith.<dep> declares a version range for the dependency bound to <dep>, with optional minVersion, maxVersion, and reason. meta.k8s.minVersion and maxVersion declare a range for the cluster’s k8sVersion. Versions follow the version grammar.

A constraint compares at its own precision. maxVersion = "1.30" accepts 1.30.4 and rejects 1.31.0; minVersion = "1.30" accepts 1.30.0-rc.1, because the prerelease is below the constraint’s precision.

Outcome	Result
The version is inside the range	Passes
The version is outside the range	Failed assertion naming the dependency, both versions, and the reason
The constraint is not a version (minVersion = "abc")	Failed assertion
The dependency reports no version, a word such as "external", or a version less precise than the constraint ("1.31" against minVersion = "1.31.2")	Warning; Kix skips the check

An unset k8sVersion is not checked and does not warn.

A managed dependency reports its package’s meta.version; an import reports out.version if it sets one.
