Resolves ROB-1776.

Changes

• Remove the deployment_status_report and report_rendering_task actions, plus GRAFANA_RENDERER_URL.
• Remove the grafana-renderer sidecar and the grafanaRenderer values from the chart.
• helm install/upgrade now fails if grafanaRenderer.enableContainer is still true. The error says the actions are deprecated and points to custom_graph_enricher.
• Remove the action from the Grafana and Change Tracking docs pages.

Testing

• helm template renders with default values.
• helm template --set grafanaRenderer.enableContainer=true fails with the deprecation message.

- Line 203: Update the deprecation message in the `grafanaRenderer` failure
block to tell users upgrading with `--reuse-values` to set
`grafanaRenderer.enableContainer=false` for that upgrade. Preserve the existing
guidance about removing `grafanaRenderer` and using `custom_graph_enricher`.
- Line 203: Update the grafanaRenderer failure message in the runner template to
tell users that deployment_status_report and report_rendering_task have been
removed and that their customPlaybooks entries must also be removed or migrated;
retain the existing custom_graph_enricher guidance.

The message says “deprecated” but the actions are deleted. CodeRabbit’s second point is right. Say “removed” and tell users to also drop those customPlaybooks entries, otherwise every deployment update logs an error and bumps playbooks_errors_count.

helm upgrade --reuse-values keeps enableContainer: true in the release’s stored values. Removing the block from the user’s file does not clear it, so the upgrade keeps failing with advice that does not work. CodeRabbit’s first point. Add “or pass --set grafanaRenderer.enableContainer=false once if you upgrade with --reuse-values”.
