I currently deploy a chart like

Chart("some-name,config=LocalChartOpts(path=path/to/helm-chart,ns=...,values=custom_values))

You can specify a version of the chart: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/kubernetes/helm/v3/chart/#version_nodejs

If I'm specifying a path to the chart, I'd assume it's getting the version by definiton. What I was wondering is there an equivilant to

helm upgrade

or does it intuit the change by the change of values. I guess I need to look at the helm source and look further into the pulumi source to understand

we don't use any of helm's server side logic, pulumi essentially runs

helm template

with the chart and then renders the output and looks through the yaml list and applies each of the resources. If you're using a local chart, and you update the local chart source,

pulumi up

will just run

helm template

again.
