[Copilot]

Summary

• Add npm run e2e-test covering ConfigMap CRUD through the generated JSON client and kubeconfig-authenticated protobuf requests.
• Validate protobuf content types, Kubernetes binary envelopes, decoded data, and JSON interoperability, with isolated namespace cleanup.
• Run the suite in existing KIND-backed CI and a new Copilot setup workflow that leaves its KIND cluster available to the agent.
• Document local KIND setup and test usage.

Validation

• Both end-to-end tests passed against KIND with Kubernetes v1.35.0.
• npm run build-with-tests and npm run lint passed.
• Workflow YAML parsing and git diff --check passed.

The protobuf tests exercise binary requests directly; the generated API client remains JSON-based.
