Problem / User impact

During test-day deployments we observed different “RHDH Metadata” between Helm and Operator installs even though both report RHDH 1.9.0 / Backstage 1.45.3.
This creates confusion and risk: Operator-based installs may run older fixes/commits than Helm-based installs for the same “1.9” stream.

Helm CV 1.9-190 hub metadata showed:

Upstream @ 29d04a5a, Midstream @ 248d42a5, Build Time 2026-02-09T17:26:57Z

Operator install (bundle quay.io/rhdh/rhdh-operator-bundle:1.9-184@sha256:4648…) hub metadata showed:

Upstream @ 74da8a37, Midstream @ 74525941, Build Time 2026-02-09T11:33:53Z

proposed fix 

• enhance the checkRC script to ensure that the chart points to the same container image as the operator-bundle image?
