Argo CD App Never Syncs
An Argo CD Application sits Unknown/Degraded and never syncs. Find the source misconfiguration and get it Healthy.
Puzzle Overview
The platform team registered a new Argo CD Application called `taskflow` to smoke-test GitOps against the public argocd-example-apps repo. Argo CD itself is up — server, repo-server, and controller are Ready — but the Application never reaches Synced/Healthy. Sync attempts fail or stall, and no guestbook workloads appear in the destination namespace.
Something about how the Application points at its Git source is wrong. Your job: diagnose the Application, fix the source so Argo CD can reconcile it, and leave `taskflow` Synced and Healthy with the guestbook pods Running.
