| Currently, CLI bootstrapping creates and manages WGE values [here](https://github.com/weaveworks/weave-gitops-enterprise/blob/d27d52cf1053d194a40e7652a570d810db552613/pkg/bootstrap/steps/install_wge.go#L49-L124). This means any update / breaking change happens to WGE values |

as suggested during standup, i think it is worth considering other options. for example here there is a couple
a) refactoring the install wge step to the shape of terraform where we dont manage values. Something like consuming a helmrelease manifest as stated here. To generate and publish that manifest could be done as part of the release process (we have to do it as part of weaveworks/weave-gitops-enterprise#2213 )
b) how flux does it where flux v2.1.0 can only bootstrap flux for v2.1.0 so in this case refactoring install wge to just install the version that the cli belongs to. for example gitops-ee v0.38 only install v0.38, etc ...
see artifacts in https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/releases/tag/v2.2.0 and https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/blob/00c6ac81b9938e80a79c5b625b06cfb4f220c3db/pkg/manifestgen/install/manifests.go#L37

you mean like publishing a oci repo with the different controller manifests, right? It sounds interesting over pull the indenpedent manifests. i also think that could also provide a more flexible / maintainable approach to install over existing helm dependency one
