 **Prerequisites:**
 - Go >= 1.21 (currently uses Go 1.24.5)
 - Helm v3 (tested with v3.17.4 and v3.18.6)
-- Make sure `/home/runner/go/bin` is in your PATH for staticcheck: `export PATH=$PATH:/home/runner/go/bin`
 
-**Bootstrap and Build Process:**
-- ALWAYS run: `make bootstrap` first - downloads dependencies and installs staticcheck. Takes <1 second (if already done) or ~50 seconds (first time).
-- Build the plugin: `make build` - includes linting and compiles the binary. Takes ~9 seconds after bootstrap.
-- NEVER CANCEL builds. Set timeout to 3+ minutes for bootstrap, 2+ minutes for build operations.
+**Build Process:**
+- Build the plugin: `make build` - includes linting and compiles the binary.
+- NEVER CANCEL builds. Set timeout to 2+ minutes for build operations.
 
 **Testing:**
 - Run unit tests: `make test` - includes coverage analysis. Takes ~12 seconds. NEVER CANCEL - set timeout to 3+ minutes.
 - Tests include comprehensive coverage (38.7% overall) and use a fake helm binary for isolation.
 - Test coverage is generated in `cover.out` with detailed function-level coverage reports.
 
 **Linting and Code Quality:**
-- Local linting: `make lint` - runs gofmt, go vet, and staticcheck verification. Takes ~2 seconds.
+- Local linting: `make lint` - runs gofmt, go vet. Takes ~2 seconds.
 - Code formatting: `make format` - applies gofmt formatting automatically. Takes <1 second.
 - Full golangci-lint runs only in CI via GitHub Actions, not available locally.
 - ALWAYS run `make format` and `make lint` before committing changes.
 
 **Plugin Installation:**
-- Install as Helm plugin: `make install` or `make install/helm3` - builds and installs to Helm plugins directory. Takes ~3 seconds.
+- Install as Helm plugin: `make install` or `make install/helm` - builds and installs to Helm plugins directory. Takes ~3 seconds.
 - The plugin installs via `install-binary.sh` script which handles cross-platform binary installation.
