Documenting for posterity:

zarf returns nil when the chart fails to install

This cascades to the component , zarf return nil for the []InstalledChart.

this results in a deployErr where zarf records the status for the component as failed and return nil.

This means that - when a component chart installation fails - we don't record the release as being installed by the component. At this point the release is orphaned and requires helm intervention directly. Zarf can fix this in a few ways. More digging to follow.
