## chainctl images helm status

Show the sync status of a Helm chart added to an organization.

### Synopsis

Show the sync status of a Helm chart added to an organization.

The status is one of:

  AWAITING_IMAGES  An image the chart requires has no repository in the
                   organization. The missing images are listed; add them with
                   chainctl images helm add-chart.
  QUEUED           The chart is queued to sync.
  IN_PROGRESS      The chart is syncing.
  FAILED           The chart's sync failed.
  SYNCED           The chart is not queued and holds at least one version.

The required images are read from a single chart version. By default the newest
non-FIPS version is checked; pass --fips to check the newest FIPS version, or
--tag to check a specific version. --fips and --tag can't be combined. Every
other part of the status describes the chart repository, not one version.

CHART accepts either a bare chart name (with --parent) or a full OCI reference
without a tag.

```
chainctl images helm status CHART [flags]
