Description
Description of the change
Right now we always have to manually create PRs to update the default image version to the latest one. We should automate this to automatically create the PRs. We could also enable automerge so that it gets merged if the pipeline is green. I don't think there is a possibility it could break something for us.
Benefits
No manual PR work, faster updates to new versions.
Possible drawbacks
None really.
Additional information
Technically we don't need to do this as the chart is version agnostic. We could instead remove the default version and force everyone to always set the version themselves. That way we also have less "useless" releases where only the default version was changed. This would be a breaking change though so we might not want to do it.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or automation entry points. First inspect the Helm repository to locate how the default image version is defined and how releases or CI are configured; clarify whether the goal is automated update PRs with optional automerge or removal of the default before implementing. Done means the chosen approach updates or removes the default as agreed and has a verified green pipeline path.
