This pull request introduces several important updates across Helm charts, configuration recipes, and Docker build files to enhance platform provisioning, improve AI agent configuration, and update dependencies and images. The main themes are: enabling hybrid connectivity, expanding AI agent configuration, and updating third-party tool versions and Docker images.

Major features and enhancements:

Hybrid connectivity and AI agent configuration:

• Added a new "Enable hybrid connectivity" option to the pp-deploy-cp-core-on-prem config, with corresponding environment variable and chart value wiring for hybridConnectivity. This allows users to enable or disable hybrid connectivity via the UI and configuration files. [1] [2] [3] [4]
• Introduced new configuration options for CP AI agent environments, including MCP transport, LangSmith, and LangFuse tracing and credentials. These are now exposed in both the GUI and the underlying environment for deployment. [1] [2] [3]

Dependency and version updates:

• Updated versions for several third-party tools and Helm charts, including Ingress NGINX, Traefik, Cert-Manager, Tigera Calico, and Prometheus Stack, to incorporate the latest features and security patches. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
• Bumped chart versions for platform-provisioner-ui and provisioner-config-local to reflect these changes. [1] [2]

Dockerfile and image tag updates:

• Updated Dockerfile to use newer versions of AWS CLI, Azure CLI, eksctl, ECR login, Azure CLI Bicep, Google Cloud SDK, and CUE, ensuring compatibility and improved functionality. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
• Changed default image tags for platform-provisioner-ui and pipeline/tester images to use the latest or newer versions. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Recipe and script improvements:

• Improved the CoreDNS update script to handle base64 decoding more robustly and to correctly check for the presence of the new rewrite rule format.

These changes collectively improve the flexibility, security, and maintainability of the platform provisioning process.
