⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not suppress all namespace-creation failures.

--retention 72h is a good fix, but Line 633, Line 635, Line 638, and Line 766 still unconditionally hide failures (2>/dev/null || true). This can mask real setup faults (TLS/auth/connectivity/CLI errors) and breaks fail-fast behavior.

In `@helm-prereqs/setup.sh` around lines 632 - 638, The kubectl exec commands for
temporal namespace creation (lines 633, 635, 638, and line 766) are
unconditionally suppressing all stderr output and errors with `2>/dev/null ||
true`, which masks real setup failures like TLS, authentication, or connectivity
issues. Instead of blanket error suppression, implement idempotent namespace
creation by first checking if each namespace already exists before attempting to
create it, or by using a conditional approach that only ignores "already exists"
errors while allowing actual failures to be logged and propagated. This
maintains idempotency while preserving fail-fast behavior and enabling clear
error diagnostics as required by the helm-prereqs guidelines.
