i just noticed that on a fresh

0.13

, running

gdev13 validate

seems to create a namespace for the deployment. is this expected / desired?

the kubernetes provider initialization creates the namespace if it doesn't exist currently. Fixing this would require a bit of a structural refactor so we've never gotten to it https://github.com/garden-io/garden/issues/3327

this predates 0.13

right, for some reason i misremembered that it would have only created the

garden-system

namespace if missing, but not the namespace for the project itself - but i was mistaken

Yeah, unrelated to 0.13, but still something we should look into
