#PolicyException
Last trap: a Kyverno PolicyException must also list the autogen- rule name, or the Deployment stays blocked.

Full workflow, policy, and break-glass:

Kyverno blocks privileged containers. Falco needs privileges to attach its eBPF probe.

I wrote a scoped PolicyException in Git: namespace-locked; label-matched, and ArgoCD synced it before Falco's Wave 3 even started.

That's the policy lifecycle: Audit → Exception → Enforce.
