#### Deploys and manages the Manila CSI plugin for K8s on OpenStack.

This subordinate charm deploys the Manila CSI driver, enabling Kubernetes clusters to use
OpenStack Manila file shares as persistent storage for workloads.

The charm attaches to a principal charm (e.g. openstack-integrator) via the
openstack-integration relation and obtains cluster credentials via the kube-control interface.

The charm manages:

* Manila CSI driver deployment via Helm
* Storage class configuration for Manila-backed persistent volumes
* Integration with OpenStack credentials for authentication

IMPORTANT: The NFS CSI driver must already be deployed (via csi-driver-nfs-operator) before this
charm can configure successfully. Manila CSI's node plugin forwards volume operations to the
NFS CSI node plugin socket.
