Kubernetes keeps the application settings in a ConfigMap and starts Valkey as a StatefulSet. Set the secret from the example before exposing the search endpoint. There is no active marker.

Compose expects local configuration under core-config/, which is ignored. Prepare it before starting the stack; a container image alone does not supply this lab's settings.
