SUMMARY
Helm v4 is a major version with backward-incompatible changes, including to the flags and output of the Helm CLI and to the SDK. This version is currently not supported in the kubernetes.core. This PR is related to #1038 and is a short-term solution to mark compatibility explicitly

COMPONENT NAME

helm_pull
helm_registry_auth
helm_plugin
helm_plugin_info
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Added `validate_helm_version()`` method to AnsibleHelmModule that enforces version constraint >=3.0.0,<4.0.0.
Fails fast with clear error message: "Helm version must be >=3.0.0,<4.0.0, current version is {version}"
Some modules (i.e. helm_registry_auth) technically is compatible with Helm v4, but validation was added to all helm modules.
Partially coauthored by GitHub Copilot with Claude Sonnet 4 model.
