When ConfigurationPolicy or OperatorPolicy is deployed directly to the managed cluster, for example via GitOps, it skips the step in the policy framework that would normally resolve hub templates. This feature allows the config-policy-controller to be configured with a kubeconfig in order to access the hub cluster and resolve those templates. When the new argument to enable this is not set, unresolved hub templates will result in a specific compliance message to report this situation.
Limitations on what the hub templates can access are managed only through the permissions that the given hub kubeconfig has.
To handle situations where the hub cluster can not be accessed (especially temporarily), the policy state after resolving hub templates will be cached on the managed cluster in a secret.
