    "incantation": "When using Kubedog tracking with `trackLogs` or `trackFailedLogs` on `helmfile apply` or `helmfile sync`, set `trackLogsInterval` on the release to control log update frequency. An explicitly supplied `--track-logs-interval` overrides it; otherwise it overrides the `10s` default (minimum `1s`).",
    "examples": [
      "releases:\n  - name: <release>\n    chart: <chart>\n    trackMode: kubedog\n    trackLogs: true\n    trackLogsInterval: 1s",

      "releases[].trackLogs: Print logs from tracked resources during deployment; interval applies when this or `trackFailedLogs` is enabled.",
      "releases[].trackFailedLogs: Print collected logs only for pods that fail during deployment; interval applies when this or `trackLogs` is enabled.",
      "Prerequisite: Use Kubedog tracking and enable either `trackLogs` or `trackFailedLogs`; supported commands are `helmfile apply` and `helmfile sync`.",
      "Applies to `helmfile apply` and `helmfile sync` with either `trackLogs` or `trackFailedLogs` enabled.",
      "The default is `10s`; the minimum is `1s`.",

  "before": "The release note says Kubedog’s log output interval was configured by the `--track-logs-interval` argument; there was no matching per-release option to save in helmfile.yaml.",
