Why
The observability and EKS features repeat secret-aware shell pipelines for helm registry login. The registry is meaningful to the workflow, but the password-stdin plumbing obscures the authentication action and is easy to make unsafe.
Scope
Add a step that authenticates Helm to an explicit OCI registry using the current NGC_API_KEY. Keep the registry visible while hiding only the stable password-stdin mechanics.
